Quotes (from this video)
- Hi, welcome to Watch It Played. My name is Rodney Smith
- And on your turn, you'll be known as the Active Player, and you'll perform four steps.
- Either way, the final step of the Active Player's turn is to now pass the Snow Beast figure to the player on their left, making it their turn to complete the four steps.
- Aside from the four steps of a turn, any player, at any time, even if they're not the Active Player, may perform free actions.
- And that's everything you need to know to play Klondike Rush.
