Quotes (from this video)
- This is my re-imagined retro classic board games series where we've talked about old classic board games and then talked about new modern games that still use these mechanisms have turned them into something different.
- Now, shut the box has been around for a long time.
- So, first I'm going to give you a little history on Shut the Box and what it's like, and then we'll talk about some games after that.
- It's basically Shut the Box with more agency, more decision space, maybe even a little bit more luck, but it's it's more interesting. It's definitely a much better version of Shut the Box.
- And it uses that sort of check to the box decision-making and dice rolling to get there.
- So, you have quite a bit of agency here.
- The decision space based on that is huge. and it's still just a race just like Shut the Box.
- Well, I hope this helped you bring some games back to your nostalgic feeling for maybe Shut the Box.
