Quotes (from this video)
  • it's one of the most perfect games out there in terms of just game design because it all it is is literal factions that you take two of shuffle the decks together and just see what the combinations that accommodations are
  • I never once had a reference to rulebook right I'm I've asked a question right there's sometimes you can have weird timing where it's like okay so how does this work and then you can reference this but with the bigger bigger box you have this comprehensive rulebook that they're all everything's in life which is just really nice
  • I've never played a game of smash before I didn't have a great time
  • The game is so short like 15 points is not a long I would say that's one of my dislikes I was gonna agree with you
  • It's always very very high on on lists and the more I play it like I can a man I can't think of a time where I had a bad time playing the game
