Quotes (from this video)
- Finga Golf was a game where you hit the golf ball with a little golf club on your finger. It's kind of big and giant. It's okay. Six out of 10.
- Nature. This is the big new game version of Evolution. Evolution has been made quite a few times. I think I liked it fine. Seven out of 10. I think if I play the expansions, I like it more.
- Sumo. A weird two-player trick-taking game that somehow works amazingly well in a small little package. It's almost too weird to love it, but I do like it. Seven out of 10.
- Please don't burn my village. This is from Fireside Games and you're playing cards and moving up values. It's almost like a very, very light economic game and I enjoy it. 7.5.
- Shadow Sea. Beautiful game. Um I think it it's prettier. I'd rather play it than Cascadia, but they're kind of in the same bucket. If you like one, you might like the other. 7.5.
- Waddle, a little game from All Play that I really enjoyed about trying to make groups of penguins in controlled numbers, but also it has this weird little marble thing to see who goes next, which is a very it's a gimmick, but it works really well, but the game play is what attracts me and eight out of 10.
- So, those are all the games I reviewed 1, 5, 10, and 20 years ago. Thanks so much for watching.
- If you really like what we're doing here at The Dice Tower, then there are different ways to support The Dice Tower.

Pros
- Guaranteed to take no longer than 10 minutes.
- Simplified rules.
- Introduced a real-time element with a timer.
- Chance cards allow for powerful deals and strategic plays.
- Community Chest cards offer end-game bonuses.
Cons
- Lacks the diversity, richness, and nostalgia of the original Monopoly.
- All properties are the same price and give the same end-game value, removing distinctiveness.
- Oversimplification has removed a lot of the fun.
- The fast pace detracts from decision-making.
- Likely wouldn't choose this over other richer board games.

Quotes (from this video)
- Monopoly Speed is a version of Monopoly that is guaranteed to take no longer than 10 minutes.
- The new rules for this version of monopoly have oversimplified monopoly and watered it down a little bit too far for me.
- It's probably a game that I would suggest that you try before you buy.
