Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
  • Card Drafting — Players select cards, and if they don't like them, they throw them away and get an extra card. If they keep them, they set them at whatever level they want.
  • Engine Building — Some of the new abilities allow you to take a card that's under something else and bring it back, turning the ability back on.
  • Hand Management — You begin with one more card in your hand when using the terrain module.
  • Modular Board — Includes new modules like terrain and events.
  • Set Collection — New things you'll be scoring for with visitors.
  • Tableau Building — The cards are tucked underneath the canopy that you are building in front of you.

Quotes (from this video)
  • This is a standalone expansion.
  • This is more of the same... but the cards are going to be different.
  • The terrain module is excellent.
  • I personally am a fan. It's one I I like bringing out and I find it charming and I like to charm other people with how much it does in this little package, you know.
  • Get Old Growth. If you've played the game a lot and if you've never heard of it, get Reforest.

Quotes (from this video)
  • Hey there everybody and welcome to week in review.
  • As typical, we had a lot of reviews this week. So, why don't we hear what the Dice Tower contributors had to say about them?
  • This has been the Dice Tower. Have fun gaming.
  • If you like our videos, if you like our channel, if you would love to game with us at one of our conventions, check out Dice Tower Cruise, Dice Tower East, and Dice Tower West. Fantastic adventures where we play games with wonderful people, a humongous library, and lots of other events and stuff.
  • Honestly, the shtick where I take a random book off the shelf and I read an out-of-context passage from it and react to it. I mean, that's a it's such a trite joke and overdone.
