Quotes (from this video)
- It's been super duper quick and I have to say before the next two like the next two months are going to be so fast.

- I had the most fun with Age of Galaxy.
- My biggest surprise was money.
- Biggest letdown for me it was Pulitzer.
- My number three is IR.
- My number three is Orlo the Prague Astronomical Clock because it's a super solid, super fun Euro game.

- My number one is Recall.

Quotes (from this video)
- Girl I never got around to play. When I tried to getting into solo, I don't remember when it was like a couple years ago. I try thinking I'm gonna make a solo series because that's going to be a good idea and I didn't enjoy myself too much because it felt like work.
- It's one of those where it's a very clever game. It's very good. It's just a little bit dry and a little bit long for what it was.
- I feel like I played it enough because we got to play this a couple of times, a few times uh when we got it.
- Legacies was for me too much work for the fun I had. It is a little convoluted. It's it's a it's a cool game, but it's not my kind of game.
- In a crowded market of so many tile drafting, tile placement games, we have like we have harmonies, we have spectacular, what else do we have? Cascadia, we have still have Baron Park, we have King Domino, like we have ASU, we have so many games in this category.
- But I think I would have chosen to play for example Spectacular over it.

Quotes (from this video)
- Players will be using building pieces to bid for various building projects, which will be placed onto the main board as Chicago grows up into a new and modern city.

- Working your way up these tracks is beneficial as they will unlock permanent resources which stay on your board.
