Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Card battle — The game is a 'card battle game where we're gonna have a formation head to head two players and be trying to take each other out'.
- Deck Building — Players have 'identical decks' that are based on numbers zero to 12 in two colors.
- Formation Cards — Players use 'formation cards' which have a three by three grid to build their strategy.
- Hidden Information — Cards are placed face down and not revealed to the opponent until later.
- Row-Based Combat — Attacks and defenses are resolved based on the position of cards in attacking and defending rows.
- Set Collection — The core of combat involves comparing color and number, and defending with the same color or type. Victory points are collected via eggs/gold things under numbers on cards.

Quotes (from this video)
- eight of these 10 games I purchased myself uh they weren't provided to me by Publishers one was from a publisher to the other was um a gift from a friend
- over 50 percent of these games are two player only games
- 50 of these are existing IP um sort of expansion sequels two-player versions alternate versions of just long-standing Top Flight IP in the board board game IP
- the industry caught up to what the innovators were doing and also very much hired them all like a lot of those folks that have been doing these things have been rolled up into these organizations
- the narrative is like pretty benign or benign but is that what I want to say just basic for like on you know plain maybe is the right way to say it but I really enjoyed the integration of the puzzle the progress through was like the best of that series
- so this to me was one of the titles that was the epitome of seeing the sort of dinosaur organizations come back and look at what was happening in Kickstarter and modern Innovative game design and implement it right
- now at number two is Splendor duel
- Splendor tool at dual has like very similar grid very similar refill of that grid the distinction is more that each player the how they end their turn doesn't literally impact the other player which is true in sobeck but basically as things get removed from the board it forces the other player to make different and tough decisions
- I really think these two are tied I guess if anything Splendor duel is like slightly faster to set up and with the removal of like a lot of the extra like so back two players has just more little rules and powers in a way that I mean Splendor 2 dual has some Powers but like just one same fun but one notch easier just to like explain and teach and start new with new players
- both these games I'd be happy to play again and again and again and I have played them again and again
- coming in at number one for 2022 is uh Clinic Legacy
- I mean I think it's normally I think it might be on the top 10 in BGG normally ranked as like one two or three best ever Legacy game and fully and completely delivered really fun and exciting to be able to play through an entire Legacy experience with my family and my kids
- haven't been able have done lots of Legacy in adult groups but being able to like keep my 15 and 12 year old engaged enough to go through it was really exciting
- I'm Blown Away by it
- the hardest thing to find here would probably be tooth and Claw though I believe you can buy it and maybe crash an octopus
- I don't think you're gonna have a hard time finding any of the other things
