Quotes (from this video)

• my year goes actually from about November 15 to November 15 and that's because in November which we are still barely in I like to announce my nominees and then I take pretty much all the rest of November and all of December to replay those games so I can rank them because if I don't do it that way what happens is there's kind of an end of the year bias
• I'm not so arrogant to think that you're watching this just because you want to play exactly what I like rather because you want to learn about a game and see if it's right for you
• historics really aren't my jam
• like 2.3 to like 3.5 somewhere in there like that's pretty much my sweet spot and what I like medium really mediumweight games medium light medium heavy
• it's a game that I will play a lot and will have it at every convention that I go to and we'll have it at every game day that I go to and I will play it in a second but for me it just doesn't quite have the depth of a game that is a game of the year for me
• it's just everything that I want in a heavy game but it's a wheel brain burn every time you play
• I am so here for this game it is spectacular it is hard as hell but it is spectacular
• I literally I sat at my table because I just played it two-handed because this was before there was a solo mode there is a solo mode now that came with the one of the expansions and I sat there and I looked at it and I I actually said out loud I was like was this that good and I immediately reset it and played it again
• it was a year where the top like it's a crowded top this isn't one of those years where there's a couple up here and then okay let's pull some up and see what I think no no no it is crowded at the top and that is awesome
