- 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.
- there can be these sort of cascading triggers like boom boom boom, you know, sort of thing.
- It's a clever little game of sort of planning and cascading uh your cards.
