Quotes (from this video)
- This is definitely kind of board gamerified.
- It's less of a game of betting and and bluffing, and it really is about card manipulation first and foremost.
- The amount of times I've seen three of the four people end with like a full house. That doesn't happen in poker.
- That's probably its biggest weak point for me is that it it almost feels like there should be a a cutoff point where you can't use that swirl symbol anymore and say, "What's your hand?"
- The game feels a little ultimately it's a great idea that feels ill-fitting at any given moment along its trajectory.
- This kind of strips away a lot of that stuff, which I think will strip away too much for a lot of people.
- I once got two straight flushes, which will never happen.
