Quotes (from this video)
  • this is a horror comedy game because you are in a world where sheep are mutating at night and turning into horrible things that will attack you.
  • it's pretty silly, but also kind of scary at the same time.
  • you will get these little shape pieces. They're just these little abstract pieces and they'll stick to your magnetic board which is kind of satisfying, right?
  • it is not easy. uh it is it is difficult to indicate what you want to indicate with these little uh with these little wooden pieces.
  • Excalibur is full of trash talkinging. It's full of social, memorable moments.
  • it is chaotic, but it's fun and memorable.
  • now the retail version is much more affordable and it's still the same sort of social gameplay. You just don't have these metal swords that you can clink together and stuff.
  • this is a lighter weight card game but a strategy game. This is not a party game. This is a strategy card game.
