Quotes (from this video)
- 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.

- That's right. It is time for us to throw off the shackles of workaday life and become the greatest board game manufacturer that the world has ever seen.
- The Game Makers is, in many ways, a love letter to the board gaming industry.
- players continue the journey started in Cascadia to create the most diverse Pacific Northwest environment that they can by drafting new double-hexagon habitat tiles and wildlife tokens to expand their landscape outward and also, get ready for it, ready? Here we go. Upward.
- where we find that the local zoo has broken into chaos. All the animals have escaped and now they need us to help them back to their respective homes.
- a single player card and dice game where the legendary hero strives to ascend into godhood.
- where the courageous new owner of a magical inn builds their bewitching B&B to best suit an eccentric host of guests, while also cultivating the ivy that's covering the walls.
- Now, Entropy is a big old rondel-powered universe-building Eurogame where scientists bend creation to their will as they create a brand new solar system, coax stars to life, and fuel new biomes all towards the ultimate goal of seeding planets with life.

Quotes (from this video)
- Demand suddenly skyrocketed. You all saw it. Then it's gone.
- This thing has just been selling like crazy in the UK.
- So, the idea of Tenby is very simple. It's a tableau card game where you are building up streets in front of you to make up your town.
- If you're one of those people, stay the ever-living John Spartan, you are fined one credit for a violation of the verbal morality statute.
- The biggest blemish with the production quality is despite this cool insert... the game does not come with a score pad.
- Seriously, you could have easily fit it in.
- It's just a decent card game. What's wrong with that?
- This is not a game that deserved its FOMO craze that it's had for the last two conventions.
