Quotes (from this video)
- Sorry this video is coming a little bit late this month.
- I have been on tour with my board game comedy show.
- Almost every single show has sold out so far which is better than I could have hoped for.
- So I hope to see you at those shows as well.
- This is a cooperative party game.
- The grid is smaller.
- This is a trick-taking game at its core.
- The twist of the game, the thing that makes it interesting and different from other games, is you will have sort of a background card and a transparency colored card. And when you combine those two things, they will create a different color.
- There is worker placement. There is hand management. There's a betting and bluffing aspect to the game.
- So yeah, that is 23 games coming to retail here in the month of June.
- I have been releasing episodes of It's All Funny and Games.
- Thank you so much. I'm Grant with Grant's Game Rex.
