Quotes (from this video)
- I know that I don't typically review or offer my opinions on games here on this channel but by saying that I've bought every edition of this game I suppose I am giving you a hint towards my feelings on this particular title.
- I felt bad because colossal games had covered many of the expenses for the trip and then I wasn't able to create the content that I had intended so I thought the very least now that I'm feeling better I could create a video for you using this prototype version of the game that they sent me home with.
- So let's go to the table and we'll jump right in this is a two-player game where you and an opponent will be taking on the roles of children of Zeus trying to prove that you're the most worthy warlord fighting over three different cities.
