Quotes (from this video)
  • Sky Team is a cooperative two-player game where you and your partner are pilots trying to land a commercial aircraft safely, guiding planes through different airports and conditions as you roll dice, manage flaps, adjust thrusts, and engage in an endless stream of disastrous non-verbal communication.
  • What makes Sky Team brilliant is how perfectly it captures real teamwork in such a short period of time.
  • Thunder Road is gleefully and unapologetically loud, dumb, and brilliantly fun.
  • Hegemony is an asymmetric political economic game where each player controls a different social class in a modern country pushing their own agendas through laws, markets, and a lot of very loud table arguing.
  • Arcs and the Blood Reach tells this like super messy and overly dramatic space opera that you will remember far longer than how many points you scored in the latest euro.
