- It's too heavy for me.
- Yeah, it sounds absolutely amazing.
- Yep. And nobody knows it exists.
- I played Circadian First Light and I liked it.
- Scrolling through this thing with you said with the 300 responses and the people arguing about this game and I s there and it's like it's so amusing. The best part about it is you have these people arguing about Marxism and and uh and democratic socialism everything like that and then you have the people that are just trying vainly to get answers about the mechanics of the game. How does this work with the tricks when you do the thing? And it's just people going back and forth about, you know, screaming about uh, you know, like like how they're going to fix the world or whatever, which I I get it, you know, just it's it's who doesn't do that? But that's that's the part it it reminds me of.
- I watched in disbelief as businessmen voted for a repeat bankrupt, laborers for a boss infamous for stiffing his workers. Evangel evangelicals for a serial adulter for an admitted sexual assaulter. Patriots for a draft dodger who would sell his country's secrets for trivial gain. educated men for an ignoramus. But they did so with fierce gladness in their hearts because what their chosen one had done was open Pandora's box. Yes, the old one filled with the ancient calamities of race hatred and rage and cruelty and blood lust and infinite greed. and tell them that these things were the remedy for all of their grievances, that all their anger was justified, and most important, none of what ailed them was their own fault or ever had been.

- No, it was free play, but it was like I played it and I'm like, 'Man, I really loved this back in the day and now I don't like it at all.'
- Everything but the ninjas is easy. The ninjas were like the the the And the ninjas just went on and on and on. You had to defeat like a thousand of them. It felt like

Overall sentiment (raw)
Cautiously optimistic
Pros
- Interesting theme of assassinating Caesar.
- Unique win conditions for different roles.
Cons
- Long development hell.
Thematic elements
- Assassination of Julius Caesar
- Ancient Rome
Comparison games
- Secret Hitler
- Blood on the Clock Tower
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Hidden Roles — It's a social deduction tree.
- Hit and Roll — It's hit and rolls.
- Social Deduction — It's a social deduction tree.
- Team-based objectives — The liberator most committed to killing Caesar wins. With fewer than 23, the loyalist most dedicated to saving Caesar wins. Opportunists are those who linger, waiting to shift the fate of Caesar. The last one, and if they do, they win as a team.

Quotes (from this video)
- It's a tough It's a lot of work. It's a lot of work, a lot of uh time, you know, a lot of upfront costs uh and things like that.
- Because in my mind, crowdfunding was, hey, I'm a I'm a person and I had this dream and I want to get my game out. Not, hey, we're a successful company, but we're going to do this thing because, you know, uh we want to use your money to buy to to get our stuff and then we'll do it and you test the the waters for us.
- They'd look at me like, 'Get another job. Get another job. You're you're in the wrong business, man. This sounds like a sucky business, right?'
- I think the fact that you can market that way and you have a platform, it makes it easier.
- the only marketing that there's two that I well three con that I would stand by conventions of course, I would go to retailers uh and do demos like you know just drive around hit a bunch of retailers do demo nights and things like that and and teach the game there and then three would be free copies to retailers to put in their library and push the game.
- I just feel it really should be for the the dreamer that wants wants their game out there kind of thing.
- the paid preview stuff just doesn't do that well.
- I think we're all just kind of collectively numb to a lot of that.
- I believe everyone I mean they have an audience. So, you know, even if they had a hundred people in their audience, but if you know me sending out review copy and I can get, you know, two three people buy it because of that, I feel like I've made you know I've made my my money back psychologically.
- There's a novelty to that tactile experience of and and being around the table with other people.
- I almost wonder actually is are board games going to continue to get more and more popular the further we go into AI tech, everyone being jacked into the matrix and that will be like this this um this haven for people to actually still have real human experiences with each other next to each other.
- Dogs of War will be the the next uh big hit uh of that line.
- It is great and it's an alien. It's a game about aliens, but also different take. They're not looking to conquer or anything. They're seeking knowledge.

Quotes (from this video)
- Oh man, this game is wild and wacky and fun.
- Hot Streak might be the silliest racing game of all of them.
- But there's fun cheers. There's fun, you know, big memorable moments. There's those big table moments in the game.
- Hot Streak plays up to eight and it's a game that I don't think I would play with like less than five or six, right? like you want those big emotional moments, people cheering, people booing, people getting mad. That's what makes the game fun.
- This is a game that does a lot of things that I love in party games. One, it is clever. Two, I feel like I actually learned something in the game. Three, it's really social and it's fun when you get away with stuff.
- And when you're the fox, you feel pretty clever. You're like, "Yeah, I did come up with a good answer there, didn't I?"
- I love the the sort of thinky aspect of the game, but also the social aspect of the game that the it's a game that combines the thinky and the social really well.
