Quotes (from this video)
  • This is our newborn baby who's uh chosen to hang out with us as we record our review of uh Blind Jack.
  • The average card is a five, but it lets you know how many nines are in there, how many zeros are in there, just in case if you're playing a lot and you can kind of like game the system that way as well.
  • I am a little confused by the teams of this. You could easily play it 1 v 1 v 1. Um you don't have to have teams. I I don't feel like you needed that.
