Quotes (from this video)
- I like turkeys, I think they should be the national bird.
- This is the best expansion of all time.
- The choices become so much more important I feel EV with every move you make in Rise of X
- Immortality is the one expansion that I think adds about equally to both
- It's not just adding to the base game it's actually changing the way you play your path towards Victory can be different with immortality in
- I felt so many times with playing with the tech tiles here in Bloodlines that it seemed similar to a tile in Rise of X, but I would rather have had the Rise of X tile
- I like that they've opened the floor for people

Quotes (from this video)
- Has this year changed our minds? Have we played this less or more? Do we love it more or less?
- Unstable that is a one to two player medium weight deck builder that takes around an hour to play.
- It is a cooperative game and this is how it plays. So, this is a deck builder board game with one of the coolest board game mechanisms ever created. Might I say the coolest?
- You also are upgrading the bad guys.
- It's an amazing and unique deck builder, but is it uh still worthy of my collection or maybe it has fallen?
- One of the best solo games I've ever played.
- Star Wars: The Mandalorian Adventures. Longest title in this video.
- It's a super heavy game for one to four players and takes at least two hours to play, right, Mr. Yiannis?
- It is very heavy. I mean, not just in the physical sense. It has tons of rules, tons of armies, tons of things happening.
- Welcome to a game where you can plan everything carefully, then roll some dice and get screwed over all the time. But you will enjoy it.
- Time for the top three coolest things about this board game with Mr. Yiannis.
- Harrow County is an asymmetric game for one to three players that takes up to an hour and is medium. Wait.
- This piece of lint is not an action.
- I still find it a fascinating two-player asymmetric game.
- It's a candy-like board game that looks good and plays super quickly.
- Just like a sumo fighter, you will have to push your way to victory.
- And as you probably understand, it's just a silly little board game that's, well, fun. That's it. That's the game.
- Le Havre is quite a heavy Euro game from one to five players. I would recommend the smaller amounts, yet it is quite a game.
- But watch out because you actually will need to feed the bustling city, which means that you will lose a lot of these resources.
- Despite it being a really crunchy Euro game, it has actually quite a bit of interaction.
- Yes, they looks might have aged already, and it's pretty hard to get to the table. Yet, well, I will place it in my collection. I really enjoy crunchy Euro games. It's an oldie, but a goodie.
- Rewild is a medium-weight strategy game for one to four players that takes 1 hour to play, maybe less. It's, by the way, great solo.
- Are you ready to rewild this region so the animals have a great habitat where to live?
- I like it because my wife likes it, and we know how that goes.
- Welcome to Blood on the Clock Tower. Unfortunately, I just died, and one of you killed me.
- This is rather an experience than it is a board game and I love this experience.
- Survive the Island, which is a light family game for two to five players and takes less than an hour to play.
- This is a very mean game because you will throw other players treasure hunters into the water, try to eat them with sharks, with sea monsters, or kick them around with a kaiju.
- A lot of games stays at our collection. Some don't, but that's okay.

Quotes (from this video)
- I'm kind of off of the Chronicles of Crime series in general.
- I think it really uh brings Battlecrest to life.
- I had a blast with this one, and I think it makes Uprising even easier to get to the table, which is a good thing cuz there's a great game design.
- This is also the one of the last videos where I was like hand-holding things and showing them and giving people like vertigo as I moved.
- The puzzly board movement of trying to get around and deal with all these threats is really exciting.
- And as I mentioned in my review, the deck building is my favorite kind where you're upgrading your deck and you're getting rid of one card as you add another one in, so you just purely get cooler and cooler.
- But this is one I called not for any good reason and actually Peter was asking me the other day if I still had it and he wanted to play it and I kind of regretted that I didn't have it.
- This is probably the lowest of the four games I covered release games this month because it didn't feel like a racing game.
- So yeah, this one just was pretty much a flop for me and all my groups that I tried it with.
- And by all four I mean keeping none of them.
