Quotes (from this video)
  • Concordia Venus is technically an expansion to Concordia, although you can buy it as a standalone thing, but it’s almost more of a sibling game to Concordia because it brings in team play
  • Captain Sonar, what a great six player game. It’s a simultaneous team versus team sonar hunting and seeking out game
  • Dual Gauge is a dipping your toes into 18xx
  • On Mars is easily my favorite Lacerda game
  • i liked Escape Plan quite a bit
