Quotes (from this video)
- I like that you have your hand of five or whatever at the beginning and you can say well, this person affects triangles and this one wants to land on them. Okay, I can build my own combos in this game. That's neat. I like that a lot.
- Visually, I don't like the winding path. The standees can certainly block sometimes a symbol behind one of them.
- It's still super mega random.
- I'm giving it a seven out of 10.
- It's still zany fun. I can't argue that.
- The zaniness, I just I get a kick out of rolling the die and seeing what happens.
- And oh, I'm playing these two cards in combo. Holy cow, it's overpowered. Yes, but who cares? It's a short game.

Quotes (from this video)
- This is where I don't give full reviews of games because all of these games have already been reviewed in full by other folks here on the Dice Tower and I'm just giving you my two cents on each of these and since today I'm going over seven different games, you're getting 14 cents out of me.
- Well, that's it. This is Mike Delisio and I'll see you on the next rapidfire
