Quotes (from this video)
- It's a different kind of game. Now, I mean, the game itself is a euro game, the style of it, and that is not particularly unique, but it's set in the Dungeons and Dragons universe and that theme is definitely a part of the game and that is something that is a bit different.
- There are no dice in this game, so it's it's quite different.
- Giving them a visual medium through video is a way to break down that challenge.
- So um, you know, our series will continue to be about playing games and showing you that gameplay and helping you make decisions, but it's opening up other doors for us, which is really nice.
- This is Super Dungeon Explorer. This is an interesting game because um it's obviously very influenced uh by Miniatures and it's made by a company that makes primarily Miniatures but it's attempting to sort of bridge the gap between miniatures games and the board games.
- For example, that's 80 pages of rules, whereas this has about 20 pages of rules, so it's a little more manageable that way.

Quotes (from this video)
- And in this way, we hope that you'll be able to really determine whether or not a game would be right for you, for your family, or your gaming group.
- So, I had to put Mansions of Madness away, Arkham Horror, all those games.
- Preferably. Um, you don't like hit points things.
- So, I don't mind games with strategy, but I don't mind games that leave a lot up to luck either.
- So, I'm really interested in showing this. It's very different than the other kind of games we've played.
- So, in What's My Word, each player gets one of these game books, and they use these to record and conceal their game word that the other player is going to be trying to guess.
- Now, although your secret game word is concealed, you really don't want your opponent to see any of the information that you're writing down.
- So, in the first round, purple always goes first.
- Now zero points is not good for a score, but it does give me some useful information.
- So now when I'm trying to think up new words for future guesses, I can easily see what letters can and cannot be in certain positions.
- So, you could potentially, if you got all the letters right, earn 6,000 points.
- But the important thing to remember is you don't have to guess the final word to win.
- So post what you think I should guess in the YouTube comments.
- Wow.
- Thanks for seeing Christie on her first and last episode of Watch It Played.
