Quotes (from this video)
  • Wingspan is great. You probably know all about it.
  • Scout is a clever card game and yeah, it's a ladder climbing shutting game.
  • Pirates of Marbo hasn't made Mark Kybo worse. I think it has. I think I think it doesn't like not like it hasn't made the game worse, but it made it so if I go back and play Mario Kbo, I'll probably have fun. But I would also think I could get 80% of the same feeling in 80% less time.
  • Tainted Grail. Yep. I still think Tainted Grail is a great game. All the remembrance I have of it, but it has fallen a bit for me because of some of the things that I hope the new version makes better, but still a great game.
  • The Magnificent. It feels kind of unique and that's why it's on my list now. I don't know why it wasn't in 2019.
  • Electropolis is a great game. One of my favorite city building games.
  • Clank Legacy. Even though it's a long time ago and yes, the other like legacy campaign games from that year has fallen off the list, that still holds a fun memory for me and it was a really fun experience.
  • Cooper Island. That's number one for the reasons.

Quotes (from this video)
  • I just got back from the UK Games Expo. I had a great time as always and I just wanted to make a quick video talking about all of the games that I acquired during the expo.
  • The brig and buy was was great, but it was very chaotic and long long cues and longer than we've had before.
  • So, definitely um was at capacity. Yeah, the brig and buy was was great, but it was very chaotic and long long cues and longer than we've had before.
  • So, I definitely recommend going at least once if you have the faintest bit of interest.
  • But for everybody else, I'll see you next time on Chairman of the Board. Bye-bye.
