  • I think these games have made it better than the original pandemic.
  • For me, if to get a quick game in I'm going to pull out the Clone Wars over War to Warcraft and that's for Simplicity only.
  • Euro X meaning the idea of a 4X game with a Euro type feeling where there's a lot of resource management.
  • And to me it's very point salad and what I mean by that is there's a lot of ways to get victory points in this game.
  • This is a C&C game, Card driven game.
  • It did dramatically, especially when I'm up there and I'm rolling and suddenly my eight cannons fire and you see see nothing but four sixes and you're like oh my gosh what just happened here.
  • Fantastic job to Robert Deleski and a big thanks to Capstone games for bringing out this two-player historical game highly recommended.
  • We used to love playing World of Warcraft we felt that this game really called the theme of World of Warcraft.
  • The action is super over the top I think the character of bay Antica is hysteric I think she's a fun character.
