Quotes (from this video)
- the more expensive a game is the more I feel I need to play it in order to justify its cost likewise the cheaper something is I don't feel like I have to play it as often
- it's not quantity it's quality
- you kind of forget when you're a member of The Cult of the new as I sometimes tend to be just what it's like to sit down and not have to teach the game again not have to try to remember the rules for other people and everyone can just sit down and just focus on playing the game rather than learning to play the game
- the game that I really want to try and exhaust for me is Star Trek Fleet captains because it's the only one I know of that includes all three of these elements but I can also use it for the fourth one as a Sandbox to explore and experiment with
- you know you might think well 10 plays of a game that's not so much well it's 10 by 10 so you're looking at 100 plays of your year
- it's possible as you play a game more often as Sarah comments you'll find things in it you don't like and as you play it more that could get accentuated
- the biggest thing that really brought me back into the same game like Warhammer or 40K all the time was creating these campaign Maps
- I can forgive a game several perceived design flaws if out of the experience it creates a memorable moment that makes me smile to think about or makes me want to retell it
- it just depends on how you look at it you can justify anything the important thing is that you enjoy the game you're playing if you don't enjoy then you certainly have not gotten your money's worth out of it
- I don't often consider how much gaming time do I really have to work with here

Quotes (from this video)
- And the heart and soul of Root is chaos, is mixture, and is other people getting in your way.
- Why wouldn't they announce that this is a thing that you can do? And the answer to that is obvious. Why would they? No one wants to buy a second copy of a base game so they can play the same faction against another player sitting at the table. That's completely insane.
- The way that the stars line up, for those of you that dream big, is just glorious.
- Get a second copy of your favorite game of all time. I think it's reasonable. You should probably see if they could play together.
- Use a little bit of like fancy duct tape and a couple house rules and suddenly you've got yourself an unending game of Dominant Species or a uh a version of croenol that has inverted pyramids and sides you can flip off of while still scoring.
