Quotes (from this video)
  • it's fairly thematic I think so you work together you try to get like their different scenarios and different boxes top boxes that you can open like once you finish this next move the next one
  • I really like that game like we play that true in a row and that's usually pretty rare for games that lets play two in a row
  • I would put it as the best crunchy heavy type game of the year
  • one of my favorite mechanics is a little bit like Concordia where your action is car driven so that's makes the game the whole games more streamlined
  • I really like how how much market speculation and manipulation oh yeah you can make that whole game almost if you want to
  • I always get suspected that's the thing I always get suspect because I'll draw this like scribble that actually silhouettes something that's oblique ley related to it and that's how I like to plan I'm always in trouble for it
  • the tricky bit is that each people personality has got different things that they do for example the Jack pushes what to me pulls away or something like that
  • that's why I preferred this than that one is because this is cooperative
