Quotes (from this video)
- games are like a creation of a puzzle uh to solve
- games are setting up a language exercise in a lot of ways
- we're setting up a chill time together we're agreeing on a system to be happy to chill to be content
- there is something to be kind of said there to kind of step back and look at what is the difference between happiness and contentment
- the whole time i was playing it i'm like oh i'd rather just go fire up tabletop simulator and call billy and say hey let's uh you want to play another game of return to dark tower
- the mechanism of production and progress and you know making of stuff which is part of board games which is very very strange
- to me there is a certain amount of like ceremony and ritual and exercise involved when you sit down and play a game
- carving out those times of leisure so when you're happy and fed and safe and all that stuff you have those moments because otherwise what the hell is the point

Quotes (from this video)
- This is the new way they're doing campaigns.
- The core box comes with a three-chapter campaign, and when you buy a campaign, it's just three chapters.
- So, it's a much more like, I guess, approachable, you know, campaign.
- Questline, which is a card drafting game set in their definitely not D&D universe.
- It sounds a little bit like Fantasy Realms.
- This is a new standalone board game set in the same world as Isle of Cats
- Your expedition to the frozen lands in the north has suddenly become a rescue mission and you must rescue as many penguins as possible before the ice melts.
- So, it's an open drafting and penguin placement board game.
