Quotes (from this video)
- One of the most important points that I've I've often talked about this which is um and this is probably sort of like Point number one is understand what the emotional response of the video game is
- Decisions in games must have consequences
- We look to recreate memories from the video game we create memories from the video
- The authentic voice comes from someone who consumed the media as an fan first then they can go back and play the heck out of it
- Easter eggs are cool
- not every player of our board game is going to know the original Ip so the game must be a game for people who don't know the IP
- A bad ball game will ruin an IP

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Boss battles — The game includes large-scale boss battles that utilize a bigger grid and multiple enemy cards, requiring strategic planning and execution.
- Character development — Players develop their characters through quests and by building their attribute decks, influencing their abilities in combat and exploration.
- Combat (Grid-based) — Combat takes place on a grid with lanes, using "marching order cards" to determine action order. Players play cards from their hand, which have attack and defense values, and interact with enemies based on their position and abilities.
- cooperative play — The game allows for multiplayer, with the combat system and mechanics being smart for cooperative play.
- day/night cycle — The game features a day and nighttime cycle that affects gameplay, with specific events or card draws occurring during each phase.
- Deck Building (Attribute Deck) — Players develop their character's deck, which can include a mix of attack cards and defensive cards, with the goal of having the right icons to overcome challenges and "hardships."
- Dice Rolling/Card Drawing — Challenges and attacks are resolved by drawing cards from a deck, which determine success based on matching icons or symbols. There's an element of randomness and the potential to draw 'duds'.
- exploration — Players explore a world using a deck of tiles that grow and change, with a scenario book guiding quests and objectives. Actions include moving, interacting with chits, and drawing cards.
- Narrative Missions — The game includes narrative missions that contribute to the overall experience and character development.
- Scenario Book — Each box contains a scenario book that guides players through different quests and objectives.

Quotes (from this video)
- It's it's a crazy time for content creators as a whole on YouTube.
- I feel like I got what I paid for. Like, I feel like I got enough content in the base box.
- This is a very simple concept and that's something that happens to you as soon as you open it up.
- There's no elements like that in the game, which kind of takes away from the true exploration feeling of discovering things inside the world just like you would in a Souls game. There's something that's missing. The soul of that is missing.

Cons

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

Quotes (from this video)
- I love Spirit Island. One of my top games of all time. Amazing design, but it's a game that will often have a boring ending...
- if you make your game fun enough, like it's just a blast to play, you can forgive a lot.
- Pandemic has a lot of problems with this. Alpha player will creep in.
- I do think some games like you can design against alpha player without like totally hiding everything.
- The biggest one is like the more your game is a puzzle and there are sudden must-win like moves that need to be made.
- The only way the only reason it was uh beneficial was because of the asymmetry. If we both could do the same thing, it would just be kind of annoying to sit there and have a discussion on strategy past, you know, a couple minutes.
- I love the idea that this is a new starting point. We're going to be going they yes yes they want me to keep buying more stuff but we're going to go through what seasons essentially
- I mean Arkham is my favorite Arkham is my favorite game that I tell people not to buy.

Quotes (from this video)
- On the live cast a couple days ago, Jamie mentioned that in 2 weeks he was going to start talking about the Scythe versus Expedition standalone game / expansion for both of those.
- The Scythe versus Expeditions and the 30-minute Wingspan one are both listed as Gen Con events.
- So, if you want to play Stonemaier games at Gen Con, you can kind of see here, there are some Wingspan games, new Sharks and Reefs, and the Scythe versus Expeditions.
- The summer release in the mini expansion, so that's going to be 21 superhero and supervillain cards in the pack. So, you'll have three of them to choose from instead of two.
- It is on Board Game Arena, if you didn't already know.
- So, always fun when you get a new Gloomhaven newsletter if you're into the challenges.
- I love Gloomhaven.
- It was my favorite game last year cuz I love story building, but man, oof.
- It I don't always get to the table as I feel like it's just such a time commitment.
- So, obviously, Forgotten Circles and Fins and Fish are already here.
- Jaws of the Lion versus versus expeditions is Q3.
- Bones is supposed to be here in Q4. It is currently in components, it says here.
- And then Code Name Deep is supposed to be quarter one of next year. Not sure what that is, but that is in the graphic design.
