Quotes (from this video)
  • And it doesn't seem like it's slowing down anytime soon.
  • And because I play a lot of games, it's really important to me to find games that feel like nothing else that f I want to find games that do something different that scratch an itch in my brain in a different way because I've never seen it before.
  • And I feel like all 10 of these games did stand out for various different reasons. They feel different than other games out there.
  • And I dare you to find a more unique theme in all of the board game industry.
