Quotes (from this video)
- I've always loved push your luck games because they come with big emotional moments.
- Wonderlands War is the most strategic push your luck game I've ever played.
- This was my number one game of the year in 2022, the year it came out.
- Honestly, the only thing that sucks about Wonderland's War is that it often takes 2 and 1/2, 3 hours to play.
- I think they did a great job distilling the experience of Wonderlands War down to a two-player game.
- I feel a little guilty saying this, but this is probably the version I will play more just because it's easy to get to the table and it still has those big emotional moments.
