Quotes (from this video)
  • this is micro macro jigsaw funfair this is a micro macro Crime City jigsaw puzzle which I'm very excited about because well I love puzzles
  • from Lucky Duck games we got potions of Aer land now here's a funny story about this game me Jeff and Mike are playing this on BGA cuz I invited them to a game but none of us have learned how to play it and we are all just clicking around and having a great time
  • from Capstone games they gifted us with Galileo Galilee and if you'll remember Jeff and I actually covered this game whenever it was on Kickstarter so that I would have been at some point in the past year um so I'm very happy very very happy to have a production copy because we loved this game this is a very very good game
  • overall my gamma experience was really good um I got to stay I stayed at an Airbnb with Nick and Mike um from the brothers murf and I think that was the right choice because we saved a ton of money staying at an Airbnb
  • the trip itself cost me almost an extra $2500 which was crazy and during that time I also caught the flu
  • the sickest I've ever been in my entire life so just know if you are a content creator or somebody in the industry that's considering going it is it does happen during cold and flu season
  • if you're interested in buying board games like any of the many that I talked about today you should first start by checking your friendly local gaming store

Quotes (from this video)
  • We have to work together we need to we need to both send our fire trucks
  • The spread slows down a little bit more in higher player counts because if I have a truck here Monique has here somebody else has one there there then four of the five tiles there's not going to be as much spread going on
  • My brain's a little mush right now
  • I went into the count with zero exactly zero in hand and I finished with 69 points
  • The fires just started really really early on and yeah the blaze kind of spread
