Quotes (from this video)
- This sucker right here is the new game Temple Twist from Kosmos, coming out at Gen Con 2026.
- It's this big moving contraption of a puzzle and strapped onto this is a really simple game flow.
- So, the game flow goes like this. You're going to have to explore this temple and you are this little dice right there.
- My favorite one so far had this little green dude. Yeah, slimy right here. And he was just he was in here, too. So, it wouldn't be we'd be turning it. It'd be like, "Oh my gosh, if the explorer touches slimy, you automatically lose the game."
- It's a really cool system. And if you think your family would like the idea of the moving puzzle aspect of this game, I think I can very easily recommend this one.
- Temple Twist from Kosmos, put it on your radar.
