Quotes (from this video)
  • So the the angle of this game is there are three scenarios that you're going to be playing with your your adventuring party and you all have a shield.
  • The GM has to guess as close as possible to what number you rolled.
  • It's just a really fun different style of game, you know kind of like a reverse DND session.
  • This is one that whenever I said at the beginning that this could have made the top 10 if I actually played a little bit more of it and that is Dead Cells.
  • The more you play the more permanent upgrades you're going to get that's just going to help you along your run.
  • It really does somehow they decided they they they made it work.
  • You're pretty much there's two warring factions and you are like the title says you're peacemakers you're trying to resolve the conflict.
  • The board is very small and strategic so you're like really have to it's it's a thinky one for sure.
  • Going with the animal route I think it was a smart decision.
