Quotes (from this video)
- This is a Cooperative game where you roll it's a roll and place dice... you're trying to fulfill cards... it's treated as clearing the little platform Zone
- it's not fully Cooperative so like Sonic Rayman or that sort of like Cooperative games you still need to look after your own scoring at the end of the game
- very much a patch on Terra Mystica
- it's a really nice different take
- it's a step up from Wingspan
- Triumph... bidding on actions

Quotes (from this video)

- 2026 is shaping up to be an awesome year.

- So, it's like that could be either really really cool or incredibly cringey.
- Throughout the journey, the decision you make will permanently shape your character's personality and the relationship with other individuals, opening and closing possible paths along the way.
- That alone differentiates this from a bunch of like other games of this type because no other game really has like a a relationship meter or a whatever.
- So I think this could be really cool.
- It's a fairly simplistic game.
- Um, and you're going through and you know, you build your convoy and you're just doing it's it's it's one of those it's kind of hard to explain like you're like I said, you're trying to race.
- But you know, this is a fun one and it's it's I'm excited to see how streamlined they make it, you know, uh, and see how much faster it makes the games go.
