Quotes (from this video)
  • it was me Matt Marty and I forget the other gentleman's name it's bugging me that I'm forgetting his name he was fantastic he he was uh he worked with FFG and we played learned and played Great Western tra together Marty knew how to play and he taught us he did a fantastic job teaching the game
  • so yeah so that that was another game I was really glad to have gotten a plan of anything else you want to mention before we move on from BG
  • I love Jenga so of course I'm going to love what is wony what okay so it's uh it's just the these squares those little medium big squares but they're not quite squares the cubes are a little bit wonky you could say cuz they're like shaved on edges and so you can't really stack them properly you have to angle them
  • that reminds me cuz the game came up uh Tada someone some asked about games that make make you laugh sure recently especially uh tadada and hex casters were great for making people laugh like the whole yes you know when you have to roll dice with your elbows on the table especially when someone had already played something on you and you have to have your elbows on your table and while you're doing something else yeah well you have the head on your table too and it's just impossible yeah that game's about being ridiculous super ridiculous yeah
  • it's basically just looking around and seeing if there's vacant looks on everyone's faces like they don't understand what's going on especially if while I'm reading at the same time I'm not fully understanding the rules like if it's my first time reading through the rules trying to teach the game and I'm not quite fully understanding it so there's Factor number one if you as the teacher are like I'm not getting this working that's a great reason to box it up
  • I actually enjoy these live shows a lot more than than doing the table talks enjoy them more you know what I mean they're a different kind of work like this we sit down I prepare stuff in advance takes time to set up but then when it's done it's done with table talk it's like we shot it for a couple of hours now we need to go edit that then we I likeed having the viewers be a part of it so then getting in their stuff and editing their content and it all is kind of time consuming not in a bad way but it's like you have to create time for that though if you're going to do it
  • yes my hope is that we'll be able to have those uh available in the future as well
  • I just played with Luke overcooked it's a couch only Co-op game and boy did we have a lot of fun our first play of it we were just cackling while playing that game

Quotes (from this video)
  • It's a real time cooperative dexterity game where you build cures to deadly diseases using uh wooden blocks.
  • The gameplay is fairly I don't know strategic doesn't give the right connotation but it's um there's a lot of player agency and that you are in fact designing the very things which you're going to build.
  • You're matching sequences in order to stack towers of blocks like you did when you were like 10 years old in a frustratingly complicated pattern that ends up confounding you by the end of it.
  • It really is a hard game to talk to people about, which is one of the reasons we did gameplay of it on the channel. it it doesn't come across as interesting as it is until you sit down and start playing with it.
  • The initial game came so the core design mechanism and build mechanism came together extremely quickly.
  • The game has a momentum to it. The game is real time and it's real time for a reason.
  • The master cure system has turned out so well because it's a puzzle that is rewarding.
  • The physical mechanisms of the game are evocative of this theme.
  • Don't hide your designs because like nobody's going to steal them and if they do people won't buy them.
  • Always keep interest curves in mind.
  • I do find it really fascinating that whether it's you with Spirit Island or Elizabeth Hargrave with Wingspan that create games that are known across the I mean the depths of the industry as some of the best out there.
  • Yes, we're rich. We're not ultra rich. We don't have a yacht. We don't have a second home, but we like we have a mortgage and we own our home and that's in the Boston area.

Quotes (from this video)
  • The game mostly speaks for itself. We've all experienced it. We all want to forget about it. Sorry I brought it up here.
  • I think I think we live in a more innocent time and I miss that.
  • This was a huge, huge disappointment for me because I wanted to like it so much.
  • Seal is one of the biggest hype to reality moments that I've ever had. Just that that gut check of like, yeah, you still live in a in a messed up earth. You lost faith in humanity.
  • There's so many mistakes and so many disappointments and we still tried to play through so much.
  • my number one is what my clear number one because it was the worst execution possible of any game.
  • And so on top of the fact that it didn't work, which is a huge problem, but if you didn't enjoy assembling them and if you assemble them just like a teeny bit off, not only would the marble like roll down and get stuck, but it would roll off the side of the first piece and just fall on the floor.
