- for an old-school euro game I really enjoyed this too it didn't have a lot of flash or dazzle or anything unique it's an older game reprinted
- the person who wants to be first has to pay full price person who wants to be second it's got to pay full price then the next people have to pay half price and the last person doesn't underpass it's that half-price and zero price
- if you don't have enough money to pay your expenses you're in a world of hurt
- there's not a lot of flash to it mm-hmm solid mechanics solid concepts concepts that I enjoy
- theme doesn't draw me in but theme turns me off maybe we are sitting there looking at what's flashy too
- portability I can't argue with that that is the selling point of that console right now
- Oh okay I should not have dismissed this game strictly on theme because it's a solid no little euro game

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
