Quotes (from this video)
- It made my number one.
- The Making it co-op completely I was like, "This is amazing."
- It's a simplistic game, but it can also get insanely complicate like the strategy I love Dominion.
- It is one of my favorite games ever made, deck building or not.
- Does a whole unique thing where you never shuffle your deck. Every time you have to draw from your deck and you can't, you take your discard pile and flip it.
- So, this is also a massive campaign uh boss battler game.
- But it is some of the best writing in board games in my opinion.
- Uh the combat is absolutely phenomenal.

Quotes (from this video)
- this is where I take a look at the last five new to me board games that I've played and I rank and review them in order of preference
- if you wanted to go through the whole 10 phases then it's going to be you know that's a ludicrous decision I wouldn't recommend that at all
- all in all um I enjoyed the game I think it's a solid card game
- it is definitely more tailored towards uh more family friendly um maybe more people on the periphery of the hobby rather than being you know well embedded in it
- if you are going into this game with the mindset of yes I'm going to win it I'm going to do whatever I can to win it whether that be help you or hurt you or help me you're going to get a lot from this one
- I think there's just enough going on here to make it interesting
- it's lived up to those expectations and again another Contender for top 10 of the year for sure
