Quotes (from this video)
- It's 40 lb. Little. Yeah. 40 lb. 40 lb, dude.
- For me, it was a grind, but I love grind games. Absolutely.
- This expansion is not a normal C expansion where it's just like a small thing added. This very well could have been its own game, right?
- So, in the expansion, we've got deck building.
- So, they get a lot stronger in the veil.
- So, they're going to have quite a few resources to start.
- This is my game of the year for a reason.
- I absolutely love where this is going.
