Quotes (from this video)
- one of the most underrated and greatest designers out there
- easy to learn, easy to teach, but incredibly hard to master.
- it is a fantastic offering.
- More of a Bad Thing.
- My man Herman Leman, uh, one of the best human beings alive.
- More bad things.
- it's going to add a lot to the game.
- I've really been blown away by it.
- And I'm I'm looking forward to playing this.
- which is never fun.
- some alarming modes that are going to be a little shocking, of course.
- just beautifully spelled out.
- Uh, and then it's going to come with a bunch of scenarios here, which is really going to highlight this.
- Uh, in total, I think there's four. Uh, maybe I think there's five to be honest with you.
- No, there are five scenarios exactly.
- And then the horror activation sequence.
- Uh, the reanimated grizzly bear, which looks absolutely ferocious.
- Uh, Monkey Island cultist, which oh, it just kills me with some of this stuff.
- Uh, instead of Larry David, David, Larry, get it.
- Uh, Mike Toolman Taylor.
- Uh, Handy Mandy Garcia. I get it.
- Uh, as far as the alarming mode is concerned. Uh, again, uh, another nice game round tracker which is going to keep everything into perspective.
- Uh, and of course your players in here. I was taking them out and looking at some of them, of course.
- And like I said, you're going to get a ton of these that are going to bring up different events, which are never ever very very very good.
- nothing is easy here. It never is but it is fun and easy to learn and that's what makes this game just so fantastic.
- So, uh, there you have it.
- Nobody's better than Herman. in my mind
- Uh low complexity, high solitude, solitary rules.
- very easy to learn. Uh and again, like I say, impossible to master.
- I really like the clowns. You know, I hate clowns and adding clowns to a horror thing is like unnerving to me.
- definitely an expansion that adds and and and gives more to what is already a great game, makes it just that much more better, refreshes it, makes it a little bit more fun.
- Sometimes people just throw expansions right away off off to something and the a lot of times the games don't need it.
- this is just a perfect mix of just adding just enough to give some new flavor to it.
- Another great game from our great friends over at GMT who just keep killing it.
- I think he's a genius and hopefully this is his year.

- Hey y'all, it's time for rolling dice and taking names.
- We received at least 11 in at my house. It was ridiculous.
- And that's Hey, that's what do you call cocaine in in in lingo back in the old days? Snow.
- So, look, [clears throat] uh, you've been listening to the show for a while. I'm always interested in trying any card game. Love card games.
- So, it's like formulas. I love formulas.
- This just feels like a job.
- The actions that you take very m much matches the theme of the game. It feels like you're a person that's trying to build and run factories and create products.
- It's a solid two-player game. It's extremely competitive with a lot of options.
- So, what's unique about this is you have a marketplace where you will be on your turn drafting a frog.
- So, we're going to go out and um play in the snow a little bit.
