Quotes (from this video)
- It's a to me it's the perfect sort of intro game to a board games day.
- there's Easter eggs on the cards for all the games which was really cool.
- It's beautiful and it's just very enjoyable.
- I think it's just the theme, the way it looks. It just it gives something more than the mind.
- It's really tight resource management.
- as soon as the treasure is found, it becomes a cat and mouse chase.
- I would argue that the only thing that I think lets it down a little that I would probably change might be the roll and move.
