Quotes (from this video)
- Thank you to the publisher for sending me this prototype so I can make this video.
- The core of the game play is actually very simple. You'll take your four actions, flip a monster card, do whatever it says.
- First thing is the theme is kind of fun. like this kind of weird, wacky world that's both fun and kind of light-hearted and also maybe a little bit dark at the same time.
- it has some clever stuff going on for what is potentially, as you can see here, a small box.
- it really does make for a game that has more meat than it really should for the size of the rule set.
- Combat is very simple.
- the ease of leveling up. It's very simple. If you fought a bad guy and beat it that was a higher level than you, you level up. Done. So, no XP tracking, none of that. Just keep clean, fast, simple.
- there's a lot of randomness to the game, which I as always I love.
- I enjoyed this game. I think it is doing some clever things with a very simple rule set.
- I think it's easy to the table. It's easy to set up. It's easy to play. It's easy to learn.
