Quotes (from this video)
  • The central board represents different regions of your reserve, which is dominated by a massive mountain.
  • This is a reverse drafting mechanism, which basically means you assign cards for other players rather than yourself.
  • I have no idea [how it will play solo].
  • The game includes a robust solo mode for peaceful solitary sessions.
  • Think of asymmetrical games like Root.
  • The theme is terrifically goofy, and Level 99 Games has a solid track record of bringing themes to life with innovative ideas.
  • I do love bag building as a mechanism, and I definitely trust Paul Denan to do that, right?
  • This sounds like a surprising take on the boring old train theme.
  • The illustrations by Rich Moyer are super charming and silly.
