Quotes (from this video)
  • This is where I take a look at the last five new to me board games that I've played and I rank and review them in order of preference.
  • although it's a cool twist on trick taking, it does just feel like another trick ticking game to me, which automatically does kind of handicap it really because I'm not a big fan of trick ticking games in general.
  • Yes, mechanisms wise, uh this is pretty terrible. Um but in practice, the game is a lot of fun.
  • So, this definitely did have that perfect DNA to have constant um expansion material coming out for it.
  • But I think I would rather lean towards something a bit more, I don't know, a bit more in your face, a bit more exciting, and with a bit more interesting player action.
  • And I have to say this is one of the most gorgeous games that I've ever played. You know the visual appeal is off the charts here.
  • So, it's all very straightforward stuff, but as I mentioned earlier, it does a great job of introducing or yeah, kind of like drip feeding you mechanisms you're going to see in more advanced games.
  • So, be sure to check this one out when it comes up on um on crowdfunding.
