Quotes (from this video)

So, Nexus, uh looking forward to the final game of this coming out.
That's Malice of Light Adventures.
It didn't blow me away. It's not one of my favorite games of the year.
I already have already said I love this game. I like it more than the Slay the Spire board game at this point.
But, still, I'm definitely excited to play it Grendel again at some point.
So, if that's the case, this should be a full recommend, but I already enjoyed uh what I played in the prototype.
But for solo tactical gaming fans who like vampires, I'm sure it'll be fun.
Most of the games from this company are amazing. This one's just good.
Even better for me than Distilled.
And it's a recommend if you like solo worker placement games or competitive, Luthier is great.
Quite enjoyed the Last Lighthouse. That is a keep for me.
But still a good time. I respect the design. 10B is a nice game.
This one was okay for me.
But yeah, not a keeper for me. Not my style.
That by itself made me like it more than the original one.
Uh that is another call, Unmatched Adventures, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set.
This one uh was rough.
But Cloudspire ain't it.
I guess I'm keeping this one
I don't think the system is ever going to win me over no matter how uh popular or fun the IP is for me.
Without house rules, I think this is kind of broken.
The rest of my uh 20 Strong collection is holding me hostage.
So, overall a bit of a mediocre January for me.

Quotes (from this video)

10B is a town in Wales known for streets filled with beautifully colored buildings, long peers to walk and explore, beaches to enjoy, and going by this box cover, their clouds have the cutest little smiley faces.
In 10b, you and the other players will be collecting and playing cards in an effort to create your own best towns modeled after the beautiful features of the real life town of 10b.
The order of the pieces on the night cards will determine the order that players choose day cards in the following round.
Anytime you have a peer action to perform, rather than take a card from this row or a plain peer end, you may take a terrace action in its place, collecting something from this row or taking a plain end terrace card.
Plain and terraces can be useful when the options in the market are not quite what you're looking for.
This brings us to the part of the video that will answer the question of not just why you're building streets, but why it matters how you build them.
You'll never take a plain gray color like this one.
If there's a tie between players for the most points, the tied player with the most completed streets wins.

And hey, if you enjoy this video after watching, like, subscribe, and comments.
You know what to do. Now, let's get to the classroom.
Remember this layout. At the start of each of the game's 10 rounds, you're going to refill to a tableau of this size.
Players must agree before the game whether resident cards are face down and secret or face up and public.
You're now ready to play.
Each round resolves in three phases: night, day, and cleanup.
You can always resolve all actions available to you in any order.
Should a deck run out while you're doing this, shuffle its discards to form a new deck and then continue drawing.
In a town as picturesque as Canby, players can't just plonk their piers and terraces all over the place willy-nilly.
A street with a tick on each side is called a completed street and may score more points at the end of the game.
The player with the highest score wins.
If tied, whoever has the most completed streets breaks the tie.

Cozy isn't a feeling a game earns anymore. Its squishy components bulk ordered from China. It's watercolor art commissioned off Fiverr and slapped into into shallow mechanics and vapid gameplay.

Quotes (from this video)

The core of this game, and I think what makes it different from some other tableau building games where you're drafting cards, is that turn order mechanism.
It's a game where you're building up this kind of almost like a puzzle that you're working on and it's multiple puzzles perhaps because you're building multiple streets at the same time.
The cards look cute and when you've got everything laid out in your tableau, you have these nice streets with seagulls and all of that stuff.
