Quotes (from this video)
- All right. Number four, we've got Cano from Mad to Go for two to four players. Takes about 30 minutes to play. I like games about art and this one has that creating Japanese painted scrolls in the game.
- but the art is what sort of really drew me in.
- you're trying to make patterns when you put them on your board to lay tiles. It did look interesting.
- I have Night at the Zoo. This is another tiling game. I love laying tiles.
- really interesting it's designed The designer is the same person who did Sagrada and Aquatica, which are heavy Euro games, but this is a lighter tiling game.
- I thought it was a fun theme.
- So, I'm anticipating Pulitzer from 25th Century Games, and this is an investigative journalist themed game. I was a journalism major in college, so I'm always interested in these themed games.
- With strings that you're I don't know exactly how it all it but it just looks really cool and interesting being able to put your strings from the different pieces of evidence you've found. tactile
- So, if nothing else, the theme and the components have definitely made me interested in this game.
- We've got Lord of the Rings: Circle of Conflict. I should say right off the start, it says this is an Essen release, but I believe they might have a limited copies available at Gen Con, so I'm going to call this a pre-Gen Con pre-release at Gen Con.
- My understanding is you're playing against your two neighbors, the players to your left and right. So, each person has a shadow troops and the free peoples army. And so, your shadow troops are playing against your neighbors free people, and your free people is playing against your other neighbors shadow troops.
- I believe this is a dice allocation game. So, rolling dice and then using them to do actions and powers and things like that.
- Lord of the Rings theme, which is a theme that we really enjoy.
