Quotes (from this video)
  • Citadels is an absolute classic and has been in my collection now for I think almost 25 years.
  • There's just so much game packed in such a tiny little box.
  • Citadels ask you to adapt not just to the players around the table and what their behaviors are and what their needs are, but also to the small hand of cards you draw from a large pool of building cards.
  • Castle Combo is a nine-card tableau builder where you spend coins to buy villagers and nobles from a shared market and slot them into a 3x3 grid.
  • This game is constantly through the simplest rule set and limited decision space forcing you to make immense trade-offs and decisions.
  • it makes every turn feel meaningful despite the fact that you're only drafting from like six cards.
  • I'm incentivized to pay close attention to what my opponent is doing which is something you rarely get in these sort of like much larger and more complicated tableau builders.
  • If you want to join my Patreon, then I could have got the money to hire Rick Moranis.
  • I have been on a tear now going through small box board games and just replaying a bunch of them because I want to make the biggest tier list video I have ever made.
