Quotes (from this video)
- And this is uh Jason and the Argonauts. So, a solo quest with uh silver foiled cards, you know,
- But I felt like it was a bridge too far. I hope that they I I think a couple of of little tweaks honestly could have turned it into a really good game.
- Um, I think stealth in board game form is a little hard to pull off.
- Why why why would you call this Legacy of Mars?
- The legacy is the biggest complaint about this. The calling it a legacy, calling it legacy of Mars, I think is a problem.
- It's just a big old gamble on a piece of tech that you don't know is proven, right?
- My pick of the week is Jason and the Argonauts, a solo quest.
- I really like the theme. Jason the Argonauts is a great theme. I think the production value here of Envorn Games is fantastic.
