Quotes (from this video)
- A Feast for Odin was a close second of mine actually for this category
- The Magnificent now the reason I chose this one for strategy is because every turn matters so much but not in a punishing way I found like you can still make do and have a lot of various things of strategy of what you can do so it feels good every turn but it feels extra good when you make things work the way that you need them to work or the where the star is align and you have that perfect turn
- what absolutely won this one over for me actually won not huge into the the wild west wild west is definitely not a theme I gravitate towards not at all uh but I think the animals made this one tolerable
- the thing that absolutely won this game won the best them for in this game for me is is the bullets turning into tombstones yeah I think that is such a whoever came up with that genius because it's so funny too of like you go bang bang and then the bullets fly and then they are Tombstone yeah yeah and then they just flip up it as a tombstone and it feels so thematic
- My game with the best theme is actually in the Hall of the Mountain King
- I feel like a lot of polyomino games are not very fantasy themed a lot of them are very like practical that's true maybe that's what it was and I think this one does really stand out in that cuz it does it feels really different than a lot of the rest
