Quotes (from this video)
- My name is Marty this is Tony and I'm if this title doesn't fit us I don't know what does
- I always want to come back and if I make a mistake somebody finds a mistake we just tell we we pay out usually it's silly things like pronunciations or something

- I don't know if that's going to if it's going to be a game I'm going to play long goal so I don't know if I need all the game genic stuff
- I do not like playing decks built for me the fun of these type of games are for me to build a deck to be honest with you I could care if I win or lose in this as long as I see how well a deck I get more enjoyment out of seeing how well my deck performs then did I win or lose
- The rule book was hard for us to follow and jump around and find certain things that we were looking for and then having two documents to go back and forth just made learning the game a little bit tougher.
- I'm the luckiest man on the face of the earth is that I think so like that
- The game itself is not cute anymore it is right Ron dog eat raccoon dog world playing with young kids I mean you can play eight and up on this game but they better have some tough skin because you will be attacking one another

Quotes (from this video)
- It's hard to find that sweet spot. Yes, that balance.
- It's just, you know, it can you can stretch it with a lot of different mechanics if you want to make a big 4X game. But, if that's not your goal, then it gets muddy.
- The thing about pitching online is the most important thing if you're going to do it online... would be a 3 minute or less overview video.
- It is love it or hate it. There's just as many people that would be jumping up to get it off the shelf...
- So, yeah, it's like you said, it can be a little hard to learn, but if these if asymmetric area control fighting games are what you like, then then you won't be that guy. You'll be wanting to buy it.
