Quotes (from this video)
  • This is a family weight game and it's It's Like a Dungeon Crawl Labyrinth type of a game but one that you can play with you know your your children you know they they say this plays ages seven and up so if you're looking for like a family weight game uh you are leading one of six different characters into a labyrinth all right tile by tile you uncover what the Labyrinth looks like so it'll be different each playthrough and you have to equip yourself with weapons and spells you got to fight monsters you got to collect treasures and then the player with the most treasure at the end wins so yeah that's a nice little family game for you
  • So it's basically an escape room a mystery in a box you know it's a it's a one-time use only thing but it's a fun evening you get an escape room in a box and you are trying to figure it out so these Advent calendars we got two of them we got the hunt for The Golden Book and the Mystery of the ice cave they are essentially turning that exit system into just a a game that you're going to Play Over the 24 days or 25 days you're just going to open a uh a spot on the Advent calendar get a new piece of information and try to solve the case over 25 different days so this feels like a fun family activity to do you know you can you can play it over the entire month of December and try to try to figure it out
  • So this is kind of a fun refresh to the original game of Azul
  • This is a two-player only game takes about 45 minutes to play and it is you are competing with another architect on building a majestic Cathedral so you are competing against each other it is an area control tile laying game set in medieval Florence and it offers a lot of heavy player interaction we are going to be messing with each other but it's also still easy to learn so you know if if you like a two-player game with uh a little bit you know heavier on the strategy but still also heavy on the player interaction than uh Basilica seems like a good one for you
  • You are battling and dueling with other drivers in the lawlessness of year 2070.
  • So in this game you are you know you're choosing your vehicle your vehicle has weapons and armor and all you know body styles different all that there's a lot of cool stuff to it and you're taking them out on the road and you are fighting against other drivers to uh you know to to destroy their cars and get around a track so that is Car Wars sixth edition
  • Between two cities is an interesting game where you are you're building a city but you're doing one city with the player to your right and one city with the player to your left so you're basically semi Cooperative with each of these people and then you only score for your weaker CI so it behooves you to kind of build up each City here and stuff like that so um it is a you know and it's it's one of the nice things about between two cities is it's a it's a strategy game that plays seven players so you can you know a lot of a lot of strategy games just don't play that that high of a player count uh so this one playing 1 to S so in the essential Edition it combines components from the original game and the capitals expansion into one cohesive Hole uh it features a bigger box than the original game different art on some tiles and a Score Pad instead of a board and but there are no new gameplay elements it just combines everything makes it easier for you to store in a bigger box
  • In fantasy Realms monarchs are competing to construct the most prosperous kingdom in the realm and this deluxe you know the deluxe box has updated every card with a Sleek intuitive graphic design the base game cards have also been updated to include new art and and it gives the entire game a fresh look so the this fantasy Realms deluxe edition does it it combines it includes the original base game the cursed horde expansion with the two expansion modules the jester and Phoenix Cards and 100 Art sleeves to protect all the cards included so you are playing you know in the game you're playing cards one at a time you collect beasts armies Wizards more so if you're a fan of fantasy Realms well now you got a deluxe edition
  • It takes me many many hours I spend 10 hours just emailing everybody and stuff like that trying to figure out what's coming out this month or what's delayed you know I have a I have a spreadsheet I think my November one right now has 60 games that might come out and I just got to follow up with everybody and see what's delayed and what's coming out obviously all the shipping woses continue and things are constantly delayed
