Quotes (from this video)
  • Devir Games really need to make less games in less games in a year because then they might actually put out some belters rather than just a bunch of meh games.
  • It's using the conveyor belt mechanism that I adore from uh art from AR Nova and Civilization: The New Dawn, but there's only four slots.
  • All right, so this is giving me a very um pursuit to happiness vibe here, but with a slightly different take on it.
  • It's a very dry mechanical game.
  • This artwork looks nice. Oh, wow. Oh god. Yeah, that is pretty.
  • I like Underwater Cities. It's on my shelf. Um I like this game a lot.
  • Cascadia, which is already probably one of the best gateway games in existence.
  • So you've got new artwork, new graphic design, updated mechanics, wooden meeples, uh same quick play time that gives a 4x feel in under 90 minutes.
  • This is an expansion that's not going to really add that much to the game?
  • It's basically the snorefest of themes, but this is a new version of it.
