Quotes (from this video)
- Oakspire: The Builders of the Sunleaf Grove.
- Most people are going to see this and go Everdell, Everdell.
- So you'll collect from here and then you'll whoosh it down here in the washing stream and then you'll process it here to upgrade it to the different levels of the stuff here and you can go from uh different levels of wood and upgrade and then eventually you'll deliver it by pigeon.
- So, you can get these combos going and you you can have a ton of stuff happening on on your turn, which is good.
- Once you start getting these card combos together and paying attention to the timing, that's where the fun comes in in this game.
- It kind of makes this game makes me grin cuz it's like, 'Ooh, I get an opportunity to do some things. They don't even know what I have set up for an off turn.'
- And there's a little bit of that anticipation that I I I actually enjoyed as well.
