Quotes (from this video)
- So, I don't know why this one really um kind of grabbed my attention since I saw this one. It does sound like a complete random luckfest, but it does seem to have a certain charm and appeal to me.
- You know, I tend to like deduction games, although I do think it's an oversaturated genre of games, but this one sounds different enough to stand out and stand away from the pack.
- So, I'm quite proud of myself that I didn't jump straight into getting that one when I first played Concordia because I played the the base game alone quite a few times now. So, I think I'm ready for an expansion.
- And I always thought it was quite or these lists are quite funny because I go in with a plan, but I'll come back with a a random arrangement of completely different games, no doubt.

Quotes (from this video)
- I just got back from the UK Games Expo. I had a great time as always and I just wanted to make a quick video talking about all of the games that I acquired during the expo.
- The brig and buy was was great, but it was very chaotic and long long cues and longer than we've had before.
- So, definitely um was at capacity. Yeah, the brig and buy was was great, but it was very chaotic and long long cues and longer than we've had before.
- So, I definitely recommend going at least once if you have the faintest bit of interest.
- But for everybody else, I'll see you next time on Chairman of the Board. Bye-bye.

- scoring — Players try to build rows and columns of symbols. The final score is determined by the weakest set of colors. Players are encouraged to balance their sheets to get extra turns.

Quotes (from this video)
- And finally, at number one, I have Ingenious 3D.
- So, I just think this game does everything the original does, but with a bit more interest and and even more fun.
- But this one, now it's out there. I can never see myself going back to play the original because not only the novelty factor, but the actual decision space and the the actual interest in the gameplay is actually heightened quite a bit.
- The gameplay is great. The tiles are great. I love the 3D aspect.
- So I can't praise this one enough. Wonderful puzzle game, wonderful family game that anybody can enjoy. That is Ingenious 3D.

Quotes (from this video)
- Movie Tricks is really good. Movie Tricks is from Chitty Fox Games. It's a trick taker, but it's got a bit of a kick and I really like that.
- Severton is a game from Vlades Shaattle. You may have heard of Vlad Shaattle, but he's got a new game this year called Severton. It's the first time he's had a new game published for about 10 years. And a little bit like Dutch Resistance: Orange Shall Overcome, it's a cooperative game where you're trying to complete missions. And it's really, really good. And not many people are talking about it.
- The new version for me is an improved version of the game. So, if you like Ingenious or Genal, whatever you want to call it, then have a look at the 3D version. That was really good.
- we played this game called drop alter and I absolutely blitzed it. I mean I think I won I think I won six of five of the six rounds that we played or something like that.
- In general, I don't play abstract games. But there are certain ones which I do play and I do like.
- Project L is another really really good game and I really like Project L and uh and that is a completely abstract game.
- I dread the day when I have to play on Mars again because I don't have the time, mental energy, everything else to go back and relearn on Mars.
- Talisman. 34 year gap between playing it.
- as much as A Trespass Odyssey was the most complicated game that I've ever played and some of the rules were extremely confusing and we weren't sure of some of the rules after 25 games, that game had things in it which I have never had that experience from any other game ever.
- And I've heard that Kingdoms for Lawn offers a similar experience.
- But when I'm playing it solo, if I'm not live streaming it, my brain because of the weird memory issues that I have, literally gets to a point and I go up and it just stops and my short-term memory disappears and I'm like, I have no idea not only what I was doing, but where we are, what phase we're on, or anything like that.
- live streaming it and talking to the audience and keeping things going is the only way that I can actually get my brain to, you know, work and be able to cope with playing the actual game itself.
