- I think it's going to be very cool, very immersive.

- I want to see the booth. I want to see the booth.
- I love bizarre history themes.
- Um and while it's unsolvable in the real world, here in this game, you get to solve it. You get to feel clever. You get to be the one that pulls it off.
- But I think this game is fantastic. It is already in the running for my top game of 2025.
- It is such a clever, smooth, cool card game that plays um you know up to eight players each.
- I think this is the kind of game that can kind of transcend the hobby a little bit.
- Sign me up. I am ready for this game. I take my money. Yeah, just take it. Just take my money.
- So, the fact that I can get all those same feelings in half the time, oh my gosh, this is an absolute home run for me.
