Quotes (from this video)

  • Mindbug is a two-player card battler where powerful creatures, replete with game-warping abilities, do battle, including the mindbugs themselves, which can be used to immediately take control of an opponent's creature.
  • Nippon Zaibatsu is a fast-paced economic game that's full of challenging decisions for one to four players, set during a crucially important time in Japanese history when the empire sent emissaries to foreign nations to bring in technicians and scholars from the west to build and work on a network of railroads to power a rapid industrial revolution.
