Quotes (from this video)
- This time I'm going to test Bethany with two player only games.
- You've got to rank them one through five without knowing which one's coming up next.
- But I beat you last time we played, so I'm just going to put it at one because I remember it fondly right now.
- Oh my gosh. I guess it's a five in this list. Fudge me buckets, Ryan.
- Anyway, if you had this list, how would you rank them? Hopefully better than I did.

Overall sentiment (raw)
positive
Pros

Cons
- two-player only (not suitable for larger groups)
- depth limited by short playtime, some players may crave more complexity
- hidden information can introduce luck elements that some players dislike
- some players may find the per-round choices feel repetitive after multiple plays
