Quotes (from this video)
  • In my opinion, I think they are trying to make the right amount of games for people, but uh print to demand or print on demand is is very different.
  • We haven't discontinued Charter Stone. In fact, we haven't discontinued any of our games.
  • If there if there is demand for a game, we will make more of it.
  • I really love what Covenant is doing lately with these long form discussions that are available on their YouTube channel and also as a podcast.
  • I wonder if maybe it was put in there because the designer thought the game was running a little long in general.
  • My I've only played Deep Regrets once, but it lasted over 3 hours, which did feel a little long for the game.
  • I think um getting uh quantity of blind playtesting with that asymmetry and variability, and also analyzing that data.
  • I think it's a good question to ask yourself. Like how how much um if I'm putting a component that I think will cost quite a bit to make, how much value is that adding to the game?
  • I do have a recent video about regrets. In fact, I have two videos about regrets, so you can see um the types of things that I regret about game design and product design decisions.
  • If we can combine those two together for a seamless experience without increasing the price, we're happy to do that.
  • I truly truly am not interested in using AI at all.
  • I think the original Between Two Cities box, I think it was too small.
  • People the contestants on Survivor have gotten really focused in my opinion of on trying to bring people to the finale that they think they can win against.
  • "Human made no generative AI." We have that on the box of the the reprint of the Wingspan European expansion.
