Quotes (from this video)
  • Secrets. This is a Bruno Faidutti Eric Lang game. It's kind of like a social deduction game where each It has some of these nice poker chips. You're on different things, taking things. It works well. It's not great, but I think it was a solid little game.
  • Tapple's one of these games that I'm always I'm It's just It still sold very well. It's mass market, but it works incredibly well.
  • I just really didn't like it at all. And I like Isle of Cats. I think it's fun. I didn't I this was a great follow up.
  • Wow, I love the look of this game. So many neat things you're going through and as the the the character here and just rolling dice up, it's just very lucky. It's a big choose your own adventure game that's very lucky. I wish I liked it more.
  • FunkoVerse Strategy Game. Eight out of 10 for me. I really like the FunkoVerse Strategy Game.
  • This is basically just giant sandworms coming and you're jumping cars and shooting them. It has all the silliness of the series of movies and I think it's it's one of those movies that could have been an IP, but but isn't.
  • Manhattan Project 2. No, I thought the newest one was okay. But this one I actively disliked.
  • Curse Court's a great game. I've played Curse Court I think two or three times this year already, which is a lot considering I have to I play lots of new games.
  • Well, it's kind of weird. I I mean, on one hand, my favorite is Curse Court, the one I just mentioned. But, also Kids Chronicles: Quest for the Moonstones is a pretty fantastic kids game. So, I have a lot of respect for that.
