Quotes (from this video)
- I try to keep it to about 25 games and sometimes that slides to like 30 games, but I don't want it to be more than 30 games because I don't want this video to be crazy long.
- if you want a smaller box pretty game, then check out Parks and Potions.
- it's a really good introduction to strategy games.
- This is one that is going to be a huge hit with young kids, I imagine.
- So, if you want a lot of story in your solo games, that is a reason to play this one.
- It adds more player interaction to the worker placement game.
- I like that sort of fluctuating market aspect of the game. It makes it feel different than other worker placement games out there.
- I think a lot of gamers and just a lot of people in general really respond to this theme, right? I think it's something that's super relatable about having to charge up your social battery in order to go out into the world and do stuff.
- there's just a lot of intrigue on like, why are you moving that? What are you doing right now? How do I outsmart you?
- Vantage over the last month has been fairly divisive.
- if you like worker placement games or if you like visually interesting games, then that's, uh, for sure a reason to play T- Witches.
- It is a deck building game, but it has an interesting aspect to the deck building because every round you're going to shuffle your entire deck and then you're going to flip out cards in a 2x3 grid.
- I love Flip Tunes
- The OP is also releasing fountains.
- This plays 1 to five players in 30 to 45 minutes and it is a mediumweight game though at the lower end of medium weight.
- This is another sort of visually very interesting game.
- It is a deck building game, but it has a interesting aspect to the deck building because every round you're going to shuffle your entire deck and then you're going to flip out cards in a 2x3 grid.
- And so there is a real strategy to the deck building of the game, but there's also just these fun exciting moments where you're like, "Ah, yes, I got that where I needed it to go."
- I love Flip Tunes a lot. I really recommend it.
- I've been doing this Green Team Wins live show at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles, and it's been going super well
