Quotes (from this video)
- Um I like this one a lot. It's a very It's It's It's a relaxing game. You You got a few minutes, you don't know what to do while you're waiting for such and such thing to come around, shuffle up the deck and start playing.
- I will say I absolutely hate the cover. That is one of my least favorite covers from last year, period.
- This game manages to feel cozy to me because of the theme, but very not cozy in the gameplay. It's very thinky.
- And no matter who I play it with, we always find ourselves getting into the theme and talking about the family like, 'Oh, my mom's going to go play play um Whist over here with my, you know, sister.' Or whatever.
- I think if either side holds back, especially the heroes because you're you're you've been kind of conditioned to do that um by playing other games. If you hold back, you get steamrolled and I think this game got a lot of pushback for that.
- I just the Mancala thing, I wish more games did it. And this one does it in such a very satisfying way.

Quotes (from this video)
- It's a one versus all where one person's walking around prescribed paths trying to catch everybody as they run around it secretly. It's very humorous.
- Why? Because it's fish. And I love fish. I also like in Finsspan, you get to put out lots of fish. You're putting out a ton of them.
- The casino theme let you do some fun things with slots or getting symbols next to each other. And of the series, this one is easily my favorite of it.
- Star Wars done in a light war game style is very very entertaining.
- They streamlined it. And not only did they streamline it, this is one of the few deluxe versions that I would want to own.
- It's epic, but doesn't feel too long.
