Quotes (from this video)
- It's a to me it's the perfect sort of intro game to a board games day.
- there's Easter eggs on the cards for all the games which was really cool.
- It's beautiful and it's just very enjoyable.
- I think it's just the theme, the way it looks. It just it gives something more than the mind.
- It's really tight resource management.
- as soon as the treasure is found, it becomes a cat and mouse chase.
- I would argue that the only thing that I think lets it down a little that I would probably change might be the roll and move.

Quotes (from this video)
- In this game, you are a superhero and you are building your own origin story.
- It's a trick-taking game and every round you're mostly getting points for bidding and collecting the tricks that you want, but what's cool is that as you play, you keep acquiring new superpowers and these superpowers kind of change the rules for you with respect to how it is you take tricks.
- Origin story checks all of the boxes, but that first one, that approaching problem-solving. I'd like to see something a little bit more challenging, a little bit more strategic.
- It's the game Karuba.
- This is a tile-placing game where the objective is to build a route from the explorers to the treasures.
- This is a racing game where the end is triggered as soon as somebody collects all the treasures, but the winner is the person who has the most points.
- I've been playing it with my kids since they were five years old. It really is an awesome game.
- Again, this is Board Game Dad. Thank you so much for watching. I'll see you next time.
