Quotes (from this video)
- The standout element to me is the big turtle-style pirate ship; it's used round by round for a dexterity game.
- The slide is a tiny thing but it actually takes a lot of time, given how little the outcome matters.
- There was a huge variety of mini games, many of them silly and dexterity-focused, and I loved that.
- If you have a favorite mini game in this game or another that uses a slide for dexterity, tell me in the comments.
- We played it at six players and it does take longer than a normal party game, but it's still a lot of fun.
- This is party panda pirates, not any of the other combinations of those words.
