Quotes (from this video)
- We're in the cozy games era of games you know so many games that are nature themed and beautiful and cozy and anthropomorphic animals trading berries and having little lanterns and being all cute
- I feel like the cozy games era is very much been a reaction to the world in general right comfort from our hobby the a taste for dystopia has fallen by the wayside with current events right so I feel like coziness Comfort warmth something that a lot of people have been eager to get from the board game experience
- I feel like that there is space in the world for competitive board game play itself to be televised
- I think the general public seeing werewolf that's fantastic how many people are going to see that TV show find out is based on werewolf buy a copy a werewolf then think this is fun buy the resistance then buy this and buy that and all of a sudden they're playing yinch

Quotes (from this video)
- Through the Ages: A New Story of Civilization is the engine builder to end all engine builders.
- In Twilight Struggle, one of the more interesting times in history is played out. And I love that each card is a real event that happened.
- Gaia Project built on Terrammystica and perfected the form. It's the best one.
- Gloom Haven: Jaws of the Lion has the best tutorial system I have ever seen in a game, and I think it legitimately creates new board gamers constantly because of the way they make it so approachable.
- Each Spirit in Spirit Island can be played over and over as you learn how to master their abilities, and there are so much content in the box. It also just plays amazing solo.
- Dune Imperium Uprising took Dune Imperium to a whole new level of scale and scope, and it's got them worms.
- It's impossible to have a bad time playing Star Wars Rebellion, especially if you love Star Wars. Okay, mostly only if you love Star Wars, but it's really fun. It's Lord of the Rings in a box, and it's perfect.
- For a solid like 6 years, Terraforming Mars was absolutely the king of the board game hobby. Unreal staying power.
- Dune Imperium uses art based on the movies, but it doesn't feel at all like a movie tie-in cash grab.
- The scale and epic stories that come out of Twilight Imperium fourth edition make it everlasting. Every time you play, you get a permanent memory and story. It's truly impressive.
- The sheer amount of content in Gloom Haven and the card play makes this dungeon crawler a Eurogamer's delight.
- Ark Nova takes Terraforming Mars' cardplay in Civilization's action card mechanisms and put it into a theme we're just way more interested in. just the absolute pinnacle of mashing up mechanisms into a masterpiece.
- Pandemic Legacy Season 1 has deserved every single ounce of acclaim and accolades it's received over the years. It was an absolute phenomena when it came out.
- I don't want to say anything nice about this game. I don't want to say anything nice about this game. I don't like this game though.
- Fine. Fine.
- Brass Birmingham is objectively a board game. Done. Easy. That was nice. Words that are written.
- Brass rhymes with ass. Got him. You're done.
- Brass Birmingham has one of the best examples of positive player interaction and a game I'd actually seek out to play for a player. Was that so hard?
- So, that was one nice thing about every single game in the Board Game Geek top 100. Many games that we actually don't even really like, but there's always something nice to say. Exactly.
- Just engage.
- We had a lot of fun making it.
