Quotes (from this video)
- So, uh, this is my monthly video on the best games coming to retail, the best board games coming to retail.
- I will be at PAX Unplugged, the board game convention PAX unplugged this upcoming weekend in Philadelphia. So, if you are there, please say hello to me.
- So, you know, it's a quick card game for sure, but there's a lot of intrigue about how things are going to switch mid round and how you're going to play out the cards in your hands.
- The interesting twist of the game though is when when the sort of pool of snakes gets too high, it doesn't bust the entire group. It busts the person that has drawn the most things out of the bag.
- So, you know, it requires teamwork and uh precision and stuff.
- I honestly think the worst aspect of the game is the sort of theme and the name Tricky Kids makes you think it's a kids game and it's not a kids game.
- this is another game that feels pretty unique and different in the world of card games.
- And so like I think this is a really good game to play at the holidays, you know, if you're trying to like it really um creates nice moments where like it's like a feelgood game
- So, it is like, you know, for like a 20minute game, it's it's a pretty clever game of how you're playing out fruit and how you're gaining cards to add to your sets.
- And it you are constantly making mistakes, right? You see moo moo and you're like moo and you're like no it's cat like
- So, you know, a thinky game in 30 minutes.
- In December, I'm going to start doing a lot of top 10 videos.

Quotes (from this video)
- Rudolph. We haven't played it yet, but it is Rudolph themed, so it's holiday themed, so I think it'd be great. We're definitely going to be pulling it out this Christmas.
- when you open it up and you look at it, it's very much so. Like there's there's Holly and like mistletoe and cranberry and all of the m the mice are dressed with their little cute scarves.
- It's a cooperative game. you're all working together to get Frodies to Mordor.
- And I just think that this there's something. It's not Christmas themed. It's not holiday themed, but there's something like about this game that's just very magical.
- It's cozy, it's quick, it's simple, it's festive.
- Santa versus Krampus. That's very holiday theme.
- which is the Christmas themed one. And this is like has a 3D tree and you're booping ornaments off of it.
- So, I would do like just a big batch of chili with different toppings.
- And when you order in takeout, especially like I don't know about everywhere, but here like for our Chinese food, it's always so much food. You can feed an army with what you're ordering.
- I personally prefer the Jim Carrey one or the old like the original Grinch. Those are the best ones.
- Elf is I don't know if you guys knew this, but Elf is literally my favorite movie of all time. not just Christmas movie. It is my favorite movie of all time.
- This is a perfect movie. T the season to be jolly and joyous.
- I think that could be really fun. You could have a table for like ornament decorating or cookie decorating. I think it would be really fun to do like build your own gingerbread houses or mele gingerbread decorating.
- I almost said Nightmare Before Christmas. I'm sure there's a book about that, too. But I think that could also be really fun.
