Quotes (from this video)

• The court that surrounds him and contains subjects who seek power and so each player represents a family that will vie for control over the different subjects of the land.
• Seven different victory conditions so the path to victory may shift as you play and you gain more information about each subject's motives during the game.
• Usurp the King does sound interesting enough that I'm really looking forward to giving this one a try.
• Players are aspiring vinyl collectors, you know vinyl those big flat black LPS that my daughter wouldn't recognize if I waved one in front of her face.
• Players then will acquire morsels of information and that information will lead them to different vinyl bins where they will select albums to add and expand their collection.
• Inventory is limited and the other customers may be targeting the very same vinyl gems as you.
• There's there's there's something about this game that scene very very familiar.
• Players take turns being the focus of an intervention by drawing a problem card with a nonsensical problem like uncontrollable interpretive dance or neurotic inability to turn right.
• Friends will give obscure clues and hints at what the problem is without giving it away completely and the sooner the intervened it can guess what their problem is well if the more points they'll score.
• It's also one of those games that I don't know how often I will find the need to play it after playing it once but sounds interesting enough.
• Players take on the role of foxes trying to steal as many chickens as they can from the henhouse and then cook them up into delicious fried chicken dinners.
• Each character's Fox that they play has a unique ability that can be used once throughout the game giving them a little bit of player asymmetry.
• Rolling poorly too many times he might scare the chickens out of your bag which would end the game and no chicken dinner for you sorry.
• I love a good word game.
• In this game all players create words simultaneously from their letter pieces that they're going to have on the table out in front of them.
• There's a thrilling little challenge of word discovery that starts to happen.
• You score more points the fewer pieces that you lose.
