Quotes (from this video)
- Target being a friendly local game store? Why the mere thought is preposterous. Sacrilege, or is it?
- no a catalog of modern board games alone doesn't qualify Target as a friendly local game store. There's more to a game store than just games.
- Is the friendly local game store of the future going to change from being an independent Mom and Pop Shop to a big box retail chain? Could stores like Target and Barnes & Noble even ever technically qualify as a friendly local game store?

Quotes (from this video)
- it's a smaller version ... it's just colors ... you just draw from a random deck in this game and as an experienced board gamer I like to have those options face up especially since there's no text to read on those cards it's just colors
- there are no points and I think this is really clever they got rid of all the points you're scoring in a Tickets to Ride
- it's a race to complete as many tickets as possible. Tickets that say things like 'okay you need to get from Denver over to Atlanta'
- it's King Domino with dragon eggs that you get to hatch
- the ghost player is trying to communicate which of these five cards is the correct card for us to pick and if we get it right we we proceed further in the game
- the twist is ... instead of using visuals it uses sound. This is a tambourine that comes in the game of Mysterium Kids, and the ghost has to communicate using this tambourine
- not only that but because this is such a fun component you wouldn't want to play a full game of mysterium kids with only one player as the ghost. Instead this passes around the table; players take turns being the ghost
- I think that's a really clever way to onboard someone onto a game not even just a kid but anyone onto a game to layer these pieces one step at a time
- storytime chess had helped her teach my nephew how to play chess it's a story book where you open the story book and you play a very simple version of Chess using only one type of piece as the game explains how that piece works and then it adds another piece
- it adds another piece and so it kind of lay layers on the rules for chess until you know fully how to play
- we published my little side ... a fan of the game he wanted to play it with his daughter and so he created a My Little Pony themed version of the game
- My Little Pony wasn't interested in licensing their brand for the game and so we made it my little side
- it's a much simplified version of scthe (sic) where you still have actions inside you're running around you're picking up resources off the map
