Quotes (from this video)
- Awards are always just the opinion of a group or a person who's decided that's what they think is the best thing.
- If a game's new to me, it's new to me. I don't care if a game was published in 1980. If I played it for the first time in 2018, it's a new game to me.
- The one thing that really stood out as revolutionary in board game design was procedural generation.
- It's the first time playing a detective game you've actually been able to detect things.
- The app takes all of that away and just makes it a lot of fun. You sit down, you pick the characters you want to play, you play your powers, and it does all the annoying bookkeeping for you.
- Whereas the other Pandemic games I've played have seemed like a retread, this actually seems like an evolution. It's the next step of the pandemic idea.
- Toy soldiers are serious business.
