Quotes (from this video)
- Two Win was a sleeper hit for me.
- Park Ranger was a delightful little solo treat that really stood out for me.
- I really enjoyed it. It is a quick, concise puzzle
- This one was too long, and I did not enjoy the take that element.
- Flower Fields hit a really nice intersection of being clean, easy to learn, easy to teach, but also having just enough going on that it felt like it has a little bit of a competitive edge.
