Quotes (from this video)
- I am CMO of Gamefound, but I do this series on Gamefound because it is the easiest one.
- This is more Slay the Spire content. More things to mix in and new characters to dive into and new ways to kind of play through the progression of it all.
- Brass Pittsburgh from Roxley being well, the number one game of all time.
- The Witcher Legacy brings the world of The Witcher Old World, but it brings it to you in a legacy game.
- But as an experience, it still is the best RPG board game I've played in the sense that giving me that sense of a character development, making choices, exploring the narrative while diving into combat, and having different uh diverse branching pathways as far as the mechanical elements of what you're doing in the game.
- So, like the earlier stuff, I'm going to try to make you uh if you're excited about finding all the stuff about Lands of Evershade or who knows what, Slay of the Spire, those will all be later in the video.
- The art style, I love the the the components, obviously, Awaken Realms, the general idea of like, you know, this eventual climactic boss fight. I like all that.
- The sheer amount of content both excites and scares me for this one.
- So color me both very interested and very hesitant all at the same time.

Quotes (from this video)
- So, these are 10 games. And of course, if we did this one in four months, it would look different because we would know more about the year.
- So, I'm very um I'm curious about how they're resolving this mechanically because that seems like a little chaotic game. I'm not sure how that lands with me.
- But the thing that makes it very interesting is that you're not just playing as the archaeologists, you're also playing as the tribes. So, it's like a not a time travel game, but you are doing stuff in the past that might I don't know how, but it might then affect the present.
- So it makes it makes for them to be very unique and thematic games that I think and also it make great games not just thematic ones.

Quotes (from this video)
- The five out of fives I've played in 2026 so far.
- there's been a good year for board games, although it does come with like this weird pressure.
- I feel like I'm being too cavalier if there's a whole bunch of them.
- I do kind of consider five out of fives different categories.
- Recall gives me a lot of the feeling that Revive does, but with more variance to the gameplay and the power combinations and the ways you're trying to build and expand across the board.
- It is such a clever experience as far as how it all comes together.
- Six Susurrus surprised me.
- it is so simple and easy to play.
- Every decision you make is so fraught with what is the right economy here.
- It is such a good clever system that rewards every single choice with such a huge degree of thinkingness behind it.
- I want to play a nice heavy thinky experience, but I don't actually want a nice heavy thinky long game.
- If a game deserves a five out of five, it's going to get it.
- For me, a five out of five is a game that I will sit down and play any single time that I am down.
