- When you have a toddler you know and they they're not pie trained I could smell he'd had an accident and he was upset and he started he's like and he was like yo daddy daddy and I was like okay just give me a second you know food's coming soon then we'll race home get you cleaned up you know take care of everything and and you know like two minutes turned into five like 5 minutes turned into like 7 8 9 10 minutes and he's just now beside himself
- This is like a big disappointment so disappointed because all the early side all the a a lot of content creators this is a kind of a problem the content creators were just Gaga over this game right and I was like oh my God it looks so good doesn't it look like from the graphics and the art style and the lot it's packed with content it's like each scenario like each book it's called is like what two inches thick of cards of like boards to play through and it's sort of like the the map is interesting you lay
- the moment that you're saying my Paladin goes and checks out the well it's like you're not you're not role playing then you're just you're just moving your character you're you're so you're making a move and so then if you get into that habit then when you speak to people like like your mannerisms at the table can be interpreted as like your character that you're playing
- man I just had no fun with that game I do not understand that game like it's got promise yeah has interesting things huh but the game just sort of makes you not want to play it
- the rules are not well done unfortunately they're really rough and uh and I assume that's from a translation issue
- the story that it creates is basically the game the the player agency is low though okay yeah it's not that in depth with that kind of stuff you you you shoot you hope for the best yeah yeah and you roll dice and that's it right
- no box full of cardboard plastic and wood will ever be able to compete with that
- the moment that there it it it pulls them out of their character all of a sudden now I'm tell you're telling them what you did yeah you're telling them what you did so you just so if yeah you can still convey a message to them but you never like do a verb for them
- the ratio of Good To Mediocre is yeah not as good as you want it to be
- Patrick mes is just he's just he just knows how to win yeah somehow he does

Quotes (from this video)
- Gosh darn, it feels good to be filming a video in my studio.
- Any games I picked up at UKGE were going to be traveling on five planes to get back to where I need and you can't just check a bag because it would have reduced the amount of trips from five down to three cuz you have to transfer your check bags when you're entering the US anyway.
- So, that's just way too much to justify bringing home a lot of things.
- This was an easy one to pick up because I love four shuffle.
- I liked the game, but I don't keep print and plays in my collection.
- I have basically everything Dice Throne to date, I believe.
- It's the game I'm most excited about.
- The guy's like, 'No, it's a prototype. We can't sell it to you.' He's like, 'I don't care. There's a misprint here.'
- So, I got my hands on some Bunny Kingdom.
- And they were like, 'No.' They're like, 'No, it has not sold well enough to justify another expansion.'
- Oh. Oh. Oh, I'm excited for this one.
