Quotes (from this video)
- So yes, if you think my voice is a little bit deeper and a little bit croakier than normal, that's because of it.
- So, please don't think that my channel is now 100% sponsored playthroughs. It's not.
- I wanted to support the game because it was really good game and I didn't want people to have uh to, you know, to get caught out uh in the same position as I was in.
- Yep, that's right. For the second year running, I didn't play a single game at Essen Spiel.

Quotes (from this video)
- March of the Ants is uh from Tim Eisner. So, same guy who did uh Canopy and some guy who did Leaf. Um, and I have talked highly about both of those games. Uh, this one is a reimplementation of an older game, March of the Ants. This is an area control game, quite an aggressive area control game.
- Now, when you put those two things together along with Board of Dice, you usually expect a very complicated, heavy, oh my god, there's so many rules type game.
- The demo did a good job of teasing me, thinking, 'Wow, this game didn't feel that complicated.' It was It was very in-depth.
- This could be one of the better David Turczi games I've played in recent uh you know tried out in recent um years.
- They didn't want to just make it White Castle with two players because to be honest, White Castle worked best as a two-player game.
- This is a two-player area control game um where basically you have followers, dudes on the map.
- But it's beautifully produced. You got these translucent dice, these lovely artwork cards, these wooden followers.
- Yes. Sorry, there is a spider on one of these pictures. I didn't see that coming, but uh I've seen scarier spiders, but still
