Quotes (from this video)
- I do really like this one, but it is a little odd.
- The concept of the game is extremely extremely um simple.
- I feel like I would just rather have a little bit more agency at the very beginning. I I think I'd like to know the category before trying to give a hint.
- On a scale of 1 to 10, I'm going to give it I think I'm going to give it a seven.
- A seven feels like this is a good party game. I am going to keep it.

Quotes (from this video)
- If you've ever wanted to be an anthropomorphic animal that makes weapons and armor this is your way to do it.
- The main new mechanic that it brings is a type of card called shrubs and these function like trees you can put them down and then place your animals on them but they are not trees so they don't count as trees for anything that would score trees but each shrub gives you an ongoing benefit when you play certain sorts of things
- It is a very simple scoring mechanism and game that is just a two player plays in about 10 minutes
- How good would they be at a hot dog eating contest
- Lying while playing Mafia

Quotes (from this video)
- I'm telling you, Johnny Matthysse is retiring from touring after almost 70 years of cruning.
- So, you'll know how to take the quality of your sleep from okay to very high.
- My elbow's hurting a little bit. I got a little pickle ball elbow going on even after we're playing.
- That's a lie. Or we suck at playing. There ain't no way. How many times do we have to play to prove you ain't going to get four players done in 60 minutes?
- There's no way y'all labor.
- I'm going to take pity on this dude. You know, he goes 0 and 3 every week.
- The only problem I see with that is there may be a lot more AP or argument during the end.
- People say, 'Oh, miniatures are too expensive.' I totally get that. But you got to understand the people who are playing miniatures games are playing these same miniatures for years.
- I wish there was some way. Well, as a side note, there are some personalities and a couple cards that say buy a card from anywhere in the table.
- I was looking for, you know, the game ends after I fill up all my seats. Well, how quickly can I do that?
- For me, uh, this game is a must buy to keep in the collection for two players.
- Architects of Amitus. I also too think it's a must buy. Small box, two-player game, 30 minutes. Tile draft tile placement. It's a good one.
- This was not my fave.
- So, you've got to say, 'Oh man, I really need to strategically place this.' And there's the piece I need. And then you go out and put your put your architect on. You're like, 'When is he going to pull those backs?' because I know the one underneath it is the exact one I'm going to need.

Quotes (from this video)
- We are proposing a top 10, but we don't really know the result of it quite yet.
- So, we're trying to think of games that we would be able to play while you are holding a baby, whether you're nursing the baby, feeding the baby, or just holding the baby.
- It takes only one arm because you're holding the baby. The other one is half of your capabilities because you are occupied.
- We don't know. We haven't experienced this yet. So, in three months, uh, when maternity leave is up, yeah, we are going to re-evaluate and relist these 10 games and rank them.
- I've had a scenario where I played this game with zero arms and 1% brain.
- This is what we call a pregnancy brain.
- Once the setup is done, you have eight cards in front of you and you have a role that you've been given whether you're a good guy or bad guy. Basically, it's one of those kinds of social deduction style games. And after that, you're hands off.
- The games are heavier on talking are be perfect for this scenario.
- The point is, uh, our tastes have changed, our collection has changed, our kids have changed. Uh, but we never want to stop playing games. This is a hobby that can be done in those scenarios.
