Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
  • Area Control — You have these four different kind of boards, these four different areas of the board that you are competing on.
  • four in a row — Ultimately, you're trying to get four of your team's pieces in a row.
  • Movement — You can move around. You can slide things around within its own board.
  • Placement restriction — You cannot place in any section where you have the most amount of things. So, wherever you have to kind of play wherever you have the least amount of things.
  • Rock-Paper-Scissors — You have all these different kind of um this hierarchy of things that beat other things, right? fire beats plants, but plants could beat rock, but rock beats water, but water beats fire.
  • Set Collection — Ultimately, you're trying to get four of your team's pieces in a row.
  • Swap pieces — You can swap places on your turn with a piece that you have dominion over... you can switch places with fire as long as you are in the both the exact same spot on your perspective grids.

Quotes (from this video)
  • We really need to find a catchphrase.
  • All the images I'm going to be showing you are subject to change because of the nature of it not being out yet.
  • So, you have the water and the plants versus the fire and the rocks.
  • You don't actually knock them out. No pieces ever leave the board. You simply are able to switch places with them and can kind of control them.
  • It is tricky to get four in a row, but it is really, really satisfying.
  • I feel clever while I'm playing this game.
  • One of the coolest moves in this game is, like I mentioned, the ability to change boards.
  • I've never seen anything like that in another game where you literally get to kind of teleport the other people's pieces away.
  • This was just a cute little clever abstract game. I really enjoyed it.
  • It takes a minute to learn, a lifetime to master one of those kinds of games.
  • Natural Chaos, that name fits perfectly both thematically and uh, with the gameplay itself.
