Quotes (from this video)
- it's a great big box uh like it's a campaign right well like not it goes over several sessions but I don't think like a completely ongoing thing.
- I've heard it described as like a well I've actually heard a mix of people saying that it's like too many bones 2.0 and that it's like a mix of um too many bones and H Marcus I haven't played uh H Marcus but I've heard good things maybe I'll get stri at some point mixed together with the Elder Scrolls lured stuff I'm completely on board for this I cannot wait to play this.
- it is completely like to to try and put you off if uh if you're not familiar and you're into Euro stuff it is completely dice chucking and there there is like there is Choice there is strategy and stuff into it but more than any of that there is Dice chucking there's rooll to move there's rooll to hit there's rooll to wound there's there's so much dice in this.
- and so many things crop up in these um random cards that you're drawing whether it's the gear that you find whether it's those um events that um that come up or the the enemies that you tend to find that like you can you can see it happen even in like the the few episodes that I did of that playthrough like it's partly like just the human thing of wanting to recognize patterns but it comes up with these satisfying uh stories so often based on just a big pile of Randomness it is crazy that it can do that.
- Shout out to bromstone is so good they had a big Kickstarter I think that was a couple of years ago now and it's projected for this year who knows if it will deliver.
- if you get it and like it it is such a big rabbit hole that you can fall into like this game has been going for a long time like is like 2013 or something original Shadow to bromstone 2014 this game has been out for a long time and like 194 expansions.
- Liz Boa is winning so I think we're going to be playing Liz boa next year next week.
- is still getting disappointingly low votes that's my personal I'd like to give uh the the re revised uh Pathfinder ago uh and the reckon is actually

Quotes (from this video)
- I like Dungeon Crawler Carl more than the original Unstoppable. I would say by a reasonable amount.
- It retroactively makes the mechanics of unstoppable make more sense and be more thematic like the whole upgrading of cards.
- Dungeon crawler Carl has actual bosses that come out and it's great because again this thematically linked to the book.
- The mechanics that have been tweaked for dungeon crawler car unstoppable make it the best version of Unstoppable so far, I think.
- The mana is a resource that builds up every round, you can keep it round to round and it makes the card design more interesting because they give a resource you can spend.
- Mage knight co-op is not a great cooperative experience. Like you barely interact with each other a lot.
- The biggest problem biggest problem in Dungeon Universalis is there's no index. I mean, there is an index, but it has like four pages listed. Like, it's just a disaster of an index.

Quotes (from this video)
- Cloudspire is one of those games that I would absolutely love to play more of and there are plans for a rematch between me and JP on my birthday week in July.
- The Graft is one of the new factions that just came out and it doesn't have a fortress. What it does is it has one piece on the board which moves around and that is their fortress. So, it's actually a mobile piece and it's big amoeba type thing.
- That's that's nonsense. Um where things like saving the game, the math, the upkeep is made trivial by the video.
- I have Frostpunk the board game. I have Frostpunk the computer game. They're the same game, but they are entirely different experiences.
- As much as I love Agemonia, it's a 30-minute setup each time we play because we're having to get all of these things out and these things and these things and these things. And that's just the nature of the game.
- No.
- Give me a good Uwe Rosenberg game, Feast for Odin. Feast for Odin solo, I love it. It's a beat your own score game, but I I love it.
- The reason why it was a bad experience for me is the solo mode for Perseverance is a very good solo mode at recreating what another player would do, but it was so far beyond my comfort level I really struggled.
- My favorite game in that category is probably either Tower Up or Ingenious. I might have to give it to Ingenious just because of my personal story with that game and the fact that I can play it with Vicky and her family and things like that.
- My copy of Imperium Classics, Imperium Legends, and Imperium Horizons have left my collection.
- I love Star Trek Captain's Chair, so there will never ever be a situation where I would prefer to play Imperium compared to Star Trek Captain's Chair.
- Assyria second edition, which has only just come out, is my favorite game from Garfield Games.
- So, if you're asking honestly for my favorite game from Garfield Games, it has to be Assyria second edition.
- The discussion has been had a number of times.
- It's not as easy as people think.
- 65% of people say that polyomino games are a subset of tile laying games.
- The secret word is scissors.
- As of this morning, we had 1,331 patron supporters.
- I will be back tomorrow at 4:00 with a live unboxing of the deluxe version of World Order.
- And then on Friday is the public public release of the final video in the Star Trek Captain's Chair series, which is the Pike solo play through.
