Quotes (from this video)
- Hello everyone. Welcome back to Foster the Mele, a channel all about board games and board gamey things.
- So, if I forget to mention it as we're talking about, just know everything here was sent to us by the publishers.
- It gets very frustrating because obviously like nobody else knows what you're working on and so someone could place something like Jeff said and you're like, well, I mean there is a little bit of like I could see maybe if Jamie placed four ingredients in a row like oh she's going for a banger and you could maybe just like block it.
- But the decision space is massive.
- It is the most satisfying. I love dual layer layer boards.
- This is a Nick and Mike special. Yeah, I could not give this game enough praise.
