Quotes (from this video)
  • it's a game that's so big and hairy and compact takes so long to play and requires so many players I only get it to the table once a year nobody wants to play with me other times of the year you can just so rarely get it to the table but it's the one that you really want to play all the time
  • I kept ending up in jail and that's why it's in the sales table
  • Twilight Imperium probably dozens of times it's really calm complicated and like my friends and I are all like fairly new so like teaching it to like other people takes me forever
  • it's more a matter of having the right group for it and being able to organize that group
  • you get little pieces of Honey the bees are fuzzy it's a really fun game and you get to shape stuff out of clay and then people have to guess it
