Quotes (from this video)
- Hey everybody, I'm Tom Vasel.
- This game is about giving good gifts or bad gifts to other people, and you have to figure out which gift they would most want and which gift they would least want.
- It's a pretty good ice breaker type game.
- It works well, okay, seven out of 10.
- Guilds of London, this is a game that does not get talked about much these days, but it is a solid Euro style game with these different guilds in the middle.
- Ice Cool, this game still getting played. It's one of the best kids games ever designed, but also for everyone.
- Mint Control is one of the worst. They really their follow-ups were not nearly as good.
- Dia de Dead from Radical 8 Games. I really wanted to like this game. I like the theming of it, the idea of dice moving up these steps it just misses the mark, 5.5.
- Positano, I was very surprised by this game, one of my bigger surprises from last year.
- It's mean, it's nasty, but it's also short, which makes it very palatable, eight out of 10.
- And Three Chapters, a little card game, one of the last gasps from Amigo USA before they disappeared.
- But I really like Three chapters. You're You're You're spending three turns where basically you are drafting cards and playing cards, and they're going to score at different times.
- So, there you go, folks. The games I reviewed 1, 5, and 10, and 20 years ago.
- Thanks for watching. I'm Tom Vasel, and this has been look back on The Dice Tower.
