Quotes (from this video)
  • The tile laying rules are so simple and obvious.
  • This is one of the simplest, easiest to get into, and yet extremely satisfying to play.
  • The Last Lighthouse is my number one simple solo.
  • If you're a fan of a game like Cascadia or, you know, even Carcassonne, I think there's a lot of similarities here.
