Quotes (from this video)
- It is disrespectful of me to do something with my evenings.
- There is a special circle of hell for people who show up to a graduation with an air horn.
- I really appreciate El Paso, you know, taking pretty much that same experience but distilling it down to the essential moves and it's a quick I don't know how long it took us. Less than an hour.
- It's really hard and it can be really swingy.
- You don't always have to teach a new game. Sometimes it's good to go back to something you know people like.
- It is hard to teach because of the exact thing that I watched Don's face get confused about when you say you're in my garden. I'm in your garden.
- It is chesslike in that you just try to optimize your moves over everybody else's moves.
- It's a heavier game than I usually like, but I just think it's really clever the way it's put together.
- The timer fits the theme in this game. You're driving 50 miles an hour in traffic trying to fight off bad guys.
- Definite Spy Hunter vibes from this game.
- The dice represent nature, which screws up your whole plan for that magic.
- If you're going to play Twilight Imperium, you need to drink water, hydrate or not play.
- And so Gunnet is a game that was sent us specifically reached out to me, asked me if we wanted to cover and they were interested in us covering it on this podcast, which is a first first time.
- The core of the game is having the discussion of, okay, well, I'm going to give you this because you're going to act first and the first thing that's going to happen is we're going to drive the car to the left one space and then you're going to shoot.
- I usually don't like a game with a timer, but you know, the timer fits the theme in this game. You're driving 50 miles an hour in traffic trying to fight off bad guys.
- For a game that's seems like it's about making you feel stressed out for a brief moment and then that stress turns into moments of joy and glory. Like I think it accomplished that more often than it didn't.
- The other game is Rollin One, uh, which is a golf game. Again, small footprint. It's a small box.
- You take turns designing the course. So you take a number of cards that represent parts of the the you know the golf course and you put them together.
- The golf clubs are represented by dice. So there's a d20, d12, d10 and so on.
- And so there's actually some serious strategy to picking your club.
- I thought it was very clever and I think both of the games are pretty darn thematic.
- Make sure you are in the mood for the thing that you're going to partake.

Quotes (from this video)
- So much variability, so much to do for the solo mode, this is perfect for The Soloist to give your idal games a whole burst of life.
- Night weave is not an easy opponent and made more difficult by some additional modules that you can layer on top.
- Yeah this makes it much more tense it's so much better good job team.
- This is what I love about this game there's so many decisions I want to do everything at once and I can't because the turn's passing back and that's what was missing from rugart.
