Quotes (from this video)
  • This has become like a sleeper hit for me.
  • It is such a good two-player deduction game is trying to figure out the sequence of asking the right questions faster than your opponent asks the right question.
  • Tranquility to the Scent is still an excellent version of it.
  • It's basically an auto battler, but such a clever auto battler.
  • I do not think it's a forever game.
  • for right now, it has managed to persevere and we'll see how long it lasts.
  • both have a uh I don't want to say permanent because nothing's permanent, but permanent spot in my collection.
  • another easy win.
  • Jungo was definitely a hit for me.
  • that was a solid one that I definitely am happy I picked up.
  • Santorini Pantheon Edition and Arnuk Adventure Chest are easy wins over there
  • Again, another iteration of a system I already have.
  • I like it, but Lana is not my favorite game system.
  • It is good to have, but if I got rid of it, it would not be the end of the world.
  • If I didn't get it, I'd be fine.
  • my kids like it, but my cats like it more.
  • I'm uncertain of the longevity.
  • Waddle is great. I don't think it's a mustave.

  • the box for this one is absolutely stunning you literally creating the hanging gardens of Babylon
  • Layers by KTBG it's actually a two-player only game
