Quotes (from this video)
- This title might very well be my top hidden gem game of 2025, and you'll definitely see it in my top 10 for the year.

- Tend to Leave is a super fun and mega silly card game that is an absolute blast.
- The game shines at five players creating a chaotic and wild atmosphere.
- Overall, Tend to Leave is an incredibly fun filler game that has easily earned a spot in my top 30 for this year.
- With its short duration and small form factor, this game packs a lot of punch and is a ton of fun.
