Quotes (from this video)
- this is a teammates game we're gonna actually be splitting up and going into different rooms it supports from 6 to 30 players so once things have calmed down a little bit more on the um Wellness front I'm hoping to be able to put together some big board game nights again and um have this one as like an all-in game that we can play throughout the nights
- this game actually has a mechanic where you hide things or put things in your physical Pockets so that proves to be a little tricky when not everybody at the table has pockets but it's such a unique concept
- this seems like such a cool unique experience again I'm not a huge fan of role-playing games or like traditional kind of d d ask role playing games but this seems like it has such a beautifully veiled mystery and it really gives me some life is strange vibes if you're familiar with that video game series so I'm really looking forward to delving into this one I haven't yet because I just want to find like the perfect group to play it with who will really appreciate it as much as I do
- Carnegie is one of these games that when I saw it I knew I had to have it I love the idea of all these different engines and different levels of things going on and I mean the presentation of this one I've said it before but I was not a huge fan of Enio tools artwork until I started playing a lot more games that featured it and singing on the table just beautiful
