Quotes (from this video)
  • I went back and read it all. I I I went back and after I took a break and you know whatever like pet you wouldn't went and sat with one of my dogs for a little while I went well you're a big fan if I'm not mistaken right yeah I am I mean and then I found out that he basically stole all of Sandman or like the he was inspired by another author allegedly never and never well allegedly yeah and then um never gave them any credit whatever um which what is stanman I don't even really know what it is
  • It is a game that I have played several times and I think it is a really good game. It is a game that really captures the essence of city state politics and diplomacy.
  • The game is really about trying to forge alliances with other players and then betraying them when it is convenient for you to do so.
  • It is a very tense game, especially when you are playing with a group of people who are willing to engage in the diplomatic and political aspects of the game.
  • I think that Helenica is a great game for people who enjoy strategic depth and player interaction.
