Quotes (from this video)
- We don't want to just buy more kaixes. We don't want to just get more shelves. We we want to only have games we play.
- It's not like we're desperate for any of those. That's the kind of thing we can hunt for on other places, but it's just Yeah, it's hard to do.
- I think it's something we all kind of struggle with as board game hobbyists, but at the same time, there's a small part of us that's kind of like, uh, I have to figure out where to store this.
- So, if you hear us saying in one of our videos, "Oh, this was a keeper." That means it actually means something to us.
- So, Batman Love Letter, it's a game that we um really liked. It's one of our favorite love letters. We've got other love letters, right? And they don't have a bunch of a lot of space. But for a while there, they were going for like 80 bucks or something because of the scarcity of them.
- It's a lot of work, but it's worth it to not just have stuff.
- I mean, as it is, Jul is going to be a nightmare. Imagine if it was 5,000 games or, you know, whatever.
