Quotes (from this video)
- one scenario that I'm really keen of is the murder mystery type of like spin to it. Yes. It's called Label Epoch and it is set I guess on the Orient Express train heading to Istanbul and you have to uh within Snowonia somehow solve a murder.
- Snowonia Grand Tour. This one is by Naylor Games
- The fifth game is called 1:00 a.m. Jailbreak. So hopefully I'll be able to get this. Publisher is Sashi. Sashi plays two to five players. So this theme is interesting because a it's a card shedding game, but there's a twist is every time you play, you have to draw a new card.

Quotes (from this video)
- I just got back from the UK Games Expo. I had a great time as always and I just wanted to make a quick video talking about all of the games that I acquired during the expo.
- The brig and buy was was great, but it was very chaotic and long long cues and longer than we've had before.
- So, definitely um was at capacity. Yeah, the brig and buy was was great, but it was very chaotic and long long cues and longer than we've had before.
- So, I definitely recommend going at least once if you have the faintest bit of interest.
- But for everybody else, I'll see you next time on Chairman of the Board. Bye-bye.

Overall sentiment (raw)
positive
Pros
- A good one, does what it's supposed to do and what the host wants it to do.
- Nice to have the variety and it's always nice to try new things.
- A good example of a shedding game.
- It's a fun game.
Cons
- The tag-on mechanism might not be different enough to feel radically different from other shedding games.
- The negative one or one fewer card mechanism might confuse people at first.
- There's been a bit of a learning curve, not complex but doesn't feel organic.
Thematic elements
Comparison games
- Scout
- Linko
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- card shedding — This is a card shedding game. Um that's definitely, you know, 90% DNA shared with other uh card shedding games where you're trying to get rid of cards as quickly as you can from your hand.
- Hand Management — it's all about trying to milk those cards in your hand, try to get rid of them as quickly as you can.
- Push Your Luck — If two or more players break out of jail, as in shed their cards, then everybody else will score points equal to the number of cards in their hand, which is a bad thing in this game.
- Set Collection — you're trying to play same sets of cards or runs of cards. Um but the strength of those sets or runs isn't actually relevant. It's more of the quantity of cards in those runs or sets.

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.
- It's just one that's not really for me because it's just too straightforward.
- But, you know, I like it. It does what it, you know, it does what it's supposed to do.
- So, yeah, I like games of this nature.
- I was really impressed with how clean this game is.
- And I just generally like the the overall feel of the chaotic nature of this game because it does really pack in to that car park and you can't really have much maneuverability as the game goes on.
- I would say give a give overparked a look because I think this one might be one of the best ones I've ever played.
