Quotes (from this video)
- This is a game where we are going on quests. We're building out teams of five critters uh that are hopefully going to match the needs of the quest basically by their class types.
- Players can now carry out any effects listed on that critter, which may cause other players to lose points, shield other critters on your team, or offer bonus points when the quest is scored.
- It's all a matter It's all a matter of perspective.
- I don't think there's anything wrong with uh building your team purely on vibes.
- So, when played, I can swap one of your opponent's critters in play with another opponent's critter in play. I cannot swap my own critters.
- He's quick with a pun. That that lad right there.
- So, King Shelford protects my whole team from all action cards and opponent critter abilities. I am not protected from any immediate loss of points abilities and action cards that affect my hand.

- super cute um draft card drafting game.
- It is a trading card game with a mech concept.
- So, you're Ruel and I'm Bailey. But then your shield is Rueld and my shield is Shieldly.
- The two ways you can flip your over flip to your overclock which gives you your mech super cool new powers is either for a good reason or a bad reason.
- Looks like a sexy bat.
- Crab fried rice sounds really good.
- So, if I get, you know, if I knock you your shield down to zero, if there's any excess, normally it would just you just lose it, but I get the shockwave that would apply to your your character then.
