Quotes (from this video)
- this is going to be the last monthly menu of the year
- all of us like that game and we got a four player game and oddly enough for as much as we all like the game for a couple of the players playing at 4 they actually liked it less and they felt like they were just behind the eightball and they couldn't get the dice that they wanted
- it is a hot mess of a game in regards to what what's on the table it sprawls it is huge there's constantly changing room abilities so there's a lot of stoping what does that do and there's a constantly changing Market it's like oh wait what does that do and there's all these spells they breaking the rules and all these things I adore it it is such a cool game
- this is one of those games that I will only play with the right people that's it and I truly don't care if I win or lose which is good cuz I keep losing but you play with the right people and it's just so much fun you have your little accusations flying around the table but it's just relaxed and it's fun and it's great and if you know the and if you know the TV show it is so very thematic
- it's a clever game it's a clever little game it's got these super cute little robots and super cute little animal assistance that you can get and use and it's a good light simple game I really do enjoy it's very clever I don't know that it reaches the heights of The Magnificent or revive for me but that's a real high bar and this is a game that I think is very much intended for more of a family audience bit simpler
- I love this game and Original Don and I we play it decently regularly when we're kind of at the end of the night and if it's just us we'll just pull it out we'll play it cuz it's now it's relatively quick for us to play and it's just delightful
- the metal dice for this thing are ridiculous there's they have no business existing and just the dice I think costs significantly more than the game but they're just amazing there are these awesome Dice

Quotes (from this video)
- Battle Station's Lightseed, that would be great. I could use another pair of eyes on it.
- Don't all volunteer at once, y'all.
- I feel like that that that needs to be a a card that you can get in the uh Empire's End expansion or after the Empire expansion. Politically motivated and grouchy.
- So that's homework for next week. Bring bring those three and and we'll uh we'll discuss.
- I would say my favorite game designer is Ryan Mock basically because he somehow managed to make a really good game lugging that anchor Evan behind him.

- It is so hard to get to the table because, in my players going, all five players need to understand the game or it will fall apart.
