Quotes (from this video)
- that is above retail it's very far above retail I don't know what's going on there
- oh Critter kitchen I was like now means we got to play this five times you got to commit to it
- it's terrible it's it's it's like I have nothing that's how bad the production is
- all of us think it's the the best of all of them
- which everyone knows was my my game of the year
- it's a legacy now I think it's like a 10 or 12 game thing and it's tile laying and it has an app
- every game you add one new section of map that is whoever I think it's whoever wins whoever wins or whoever loses gets to pick the new section of map
- every single section introduces a new mechanic to the game
- the story wasn't super compelling
- Betrayal Legacy is brilliant the way they do the story and unlocking stuff is incredible
- however not a satisfying ending story-wise and never remember it
- it still felt weird even up to the last game was that you don't score points as you go
- the mechanics it's very sound and I legitimately am interested in playing the game again
- make sure you're taking time for yourself and one of the best ways to do that is to play games with people you enjoy
