Quotes (from this video)
- I got a squeaky clean record. No problem.
- I'd rather just pay the fine. Thanks.
- But me personally, as a more hardened uh board game fan, I kind of liked it when the game was mean to me and just brutal and just punched me over and over again.
- Fingers crossed for a board game massochist like myself that the hardcore rules make their way back in here.
- I can't imagine anybody not having fun from start to finish in a trash rush.
