Quotes (from this video)
- Cloudspire is one of those games that I would absolutely love to play more of and there are plans for a rematch between me and JP on my birthday week in July.
- The Graft is one of the new factions that just came out and it doesn't have a fortress. What it does is it has one piece on the board which moves around and that is their fortress. So, it's actually a mobile piece and it's big amoeba type thing.
- That's that's nonsense. Um where things like saving the game, the math, the upkeep is made trivial by the video.
- I have Frostpunk the board game. I have Frostpunk the computer game. They're the same game, but they are entirely different experiences.
- As much as I love Agemonia, it's a 30-minute setup each time we play because we're having to get all of these things out and these things and these things and these things. And that's just the nature of the game.
- No.
- Give me a good Uwe Rosenberg game, Feast for Odin. Feast for Odin solo, I love it. It's a beat your own score game, but I I love it.
- The reason why it was a bad experience for me is the solo mode for Perseverance is a very good solo mode at recreating what another player would do, but it was so far beyond my comfort level I really struggled.
- My favorite game in that category is probably either Tower Up or Ingenious. I might have to give it to Ingenious just because of my personal story with that game and the fact that I can play it with Vicky and her family and things like that.
- My copy of Imperium Classics, Imperium Legends, and Imperium Horizons have left my collection.
- I love Star Trek Captain's Chair, so there will never ever be a situation where I would prefer to play Imperium compared to Star Trek Captain's Chair.
- Assyria second edition, which has only just come out, is my favorite game from Garfield Games.
- So, if you're asking honestly for my favorite game from Garfield Games, it has to be Assyria second edition.
- The discussion has been had a number of times.
- It's not as easy as people think.
- 65% of people say that polyomino games are a subset of tile laying games.
- The secret word is scissors.
- As of this morning, we had 1,331 patron supporters.
- I will be back tomorrow at 4:00 with a live unboxing of the deluxe version of World Order.
- And then on Friday is the public public release of the final video in the Star Trek Captain's Chair series, which is the Pike solo play through.

Quotes (from this video)
- I do like the fact that it's um don't be the loser and there's no actual winner in a game that I think is quite cool.
- And I found this to be like really interesting. Like this was a cool twist on the trick taker.
- It's got a German name with Japanese writing on the back. It was kind of weird.
- But this just felt too random.
- I just felt like it's not really a strategic game. It's just basically the dice are going to dictate what you can do.
- I just found it a bit boring and found it underwhelming when everything resolved, you know.
- The expo is getting to the point where it's pricing itself out of being worth going.
- Remember, it's only a game.

Quotes (from this video)
- went over to play Shug, which oh my god, I will back that straight away when I get home. Um, because that was amazing.
- it's so whimsical and unique.
- You're like exploring trying to find this mythical creature called Shug and you need to bring him back to the pub because there's this like prophecy or like legend that when you bring Shug back to the pub, the king will be defeated.
- all these like whimsical, nonsensical things. It was just very, very fun.
- I played Stack. Oh my god, that was great as well.
- Oh my god, that was crazy madness.
- It was so funny, so difficult, and just hilarious cuz you're like so uncomfortable sitting with all the sticks on your fingers and crazy.
- We played Mariners. I was very very excited to play this because just look at this artwork. Incredible.
- And the gameplay is so fun. I can't wait for this to get uh the Kickstarter release. I'm backing it straight away.
