Quotes (from this video)
- This is an 18 card uh wallet type game.
- So um, we're going to see how this goes, but this is just going to be a quick overview on how this game works and you can make a decision on whether or not um this game is for you.
- So, on your turn, there's a few things you can decide to do. The thing you're probably going to want to do, especially on the first turn, uh, will be expanding the village.
- So, I might need to use a transport card. A transport card can just let me kind of break some of the rules and use the abilities to complete a um uh crafting resource.
- So, at minimum, you want to try to uh score nine to win the game. Otherwise, anything less is considered a loss.
- But this gives you a really good um overview of just kind of the mechanics of this game.
- So, I think the replayability is really unique here.
