Quotes (from this video)
- It's literally white noise.
- Making content focused towards a more niche product tends to catch on quicker.
- Let's get the game, play Star Wars Unlimited. There's no, 'Okay, read the rules first.'
- The mind-blowing aspect of trump when you when you say, you know, if people know, hey, you're sitting down to play spades and something, it's kind of like, but there's not this huge thing like a board game where we would have to go over rules upon rules where, hey, I can teach you cards, I can teach you cards, and you can get a quick feel for it versus a board game that's going to take me 15, 20 minutes to try to teach you at sometimes.
- It's not playing it for me. It's just giving me ideas and suggestions so that maybe when I do create my own deck, all right, well, then I have something to go with.
- AI, yes, will help you create a list and coalate to a really cool little deck. But if you don't know how to play it, it does you no good.
- However, those legendaries right there, for those who don't know, those are the most rare of types of cards. I don't have any of those. Can you give me substitutions?
- Oh my goodness. I don't know if I made this analogy on the show before, but to me it's like um sports. Hey, I'm a sports fan. I'm a sports fan. What do you like? I like soccer. Oh, well, I like baseball.
- It's a bluffing game to me.
- The further you get down in the niche of likes, it just creates a community of people.
- The order of your cards never changes. The only thing that changes is you're building your deck over time.
- So, you know, you kind of know what you're going to be facing. However, the order of the cards stay the same, but that one card inserted every time.
- The trick of this is everybody around the table is facing the same type of rules.
- Because those of us who are quickly reading through the rules, some things may stick.
- So, yeah, the captain's coming out knowing how to do that so there's a lot of that's the bluffing knowing the strategy like oh I know I've lost this zone but is he going to think does he think I'm going to actually try to win this or am I going to try to do some shenanigans on him?
- This is a lane battler.
- It's a race to completing seven achievements.
- The flowchart works so well.
- The whole process of playing the game was a blast. But then it just like it kind of petered out in that last round.
- You don't have to fight or win a battle at all to win this game.
- I was going to leave it at a six, but I I'm gonna go to a seven just because of the overall production of it and the what I would bring out on the table instead of other types of games like this
- If you don't skip this intro because something's going to happen sort of deal.
- Have you ever seen any of the Big Bang clips when they removed the laugh track and you realize how unfunny that show was and it needed the laugh track?

Quotes (from this video)
- This is a six small box game review roundup. Gen Con edition.
- If a game is in a six small box game review, it usually means it's not likely to get above a 3.5 out of five.
- I think for me, I don't like this at all. I thought it was terrible. But again, caveat, I'm not the intended audience.
- The actual puzzle, both solo and cooperative, is pretty fun.
- The rule book in my opinion is terrible.
- I think this is a great icebreaker, a great gateway game, uh, good for kids and families as well.
- It's the kind of game that was good for two or three plays. And by the time I was playing it the fourth time, I was already I I felt I had done everything I wanted to from the game.
- The biggest critique I have is it does feel very luck dependent. It doesn't feel like there's a ton of strategy.

Quotes (from this video)
- The cover and the title of the game are more important than the gameplay.
- The powers are very different though. Like in Rebel Princess, it's all about shot and fraud, throwing another princess under the bus because that's what Hearts like thrives on, right? ... But for a bidding game, you you can't do that at all because it's bidding is so difficult in itself.
- All the princess powers are more about uh information, sharing information, and gaining information. So that way you can make more accurate bids.
- If you don't use your princess power in zombie princess, you get uh you get points. You get something.
- We wanted all the princesses to have weapons. And that is still my favorite day that I've ever worked for Bez was our pitch meeting where like I think Cinderella should have pumpkin bombs.
- The hook is the meta aspect of the game, right?
- People love a game so much that they want to include it no matter what, even if it doesn't do anything for their strategy.
- I love collusion. this that that is controversial. I think that would be that's a little divisive. Some people hate that. But I love kind of like going against the you know king making or at least tearing down the king.
- The dopamine hits of that game are pretty fun. It's like, 'Oh, I can do this and this and this and this and this.' So it's Comboastic.
- It's gorgeous. It's gorgeous. Like, there are games where you open up and you're like, did I really get my money's worth? ... You just see it. You're like, 'Yeah, I got my money's worth. This game is gorgeous.'
- Everyone has like this little action board with like these little check marks and you take a little check mark and you stick it in that little recessed area. ... But then you're going to pass that around the table and then someone to your left will give you theirs and then you'll take another action. But you can't take the action that they took. You'll have to take another action. You do take the action that they took, but you have to pay them money to do it.
- I think that saying that these are bad games or not games in a way like you're we're putting a gate where you don't really need one because at ultimately at the end of the day we want more gamers. We want more people in this board game cafes. We want more people showing up to game nights. We want to because we want more people to game with.
- It is lighter than Sweetlands um, but more complicated than Oia.
- The last place gets a whole bunch of debt, which is negative victory points. Uh, which is brutal in a two-player game because it's either you win or you lose, right?
