Quotes (from this video)
- I think I can already say I would really like to try at some point just from the table presence alone.
- Honestly Cooperative games are far from my favorite type of game but I love Carcassonne so that is enough to have me quite intrigued if I have an opportunity to try this one.

Quotes (from this video)
- If you get scared, it is a bit creepy, don't worry I'll hold you I'll hold you and I'll snuzzle your head and I'll make everything okay just like a dad should.
- What's scarier than this game is your 40s.
- I stink at board games and that's fine I don't have to be good I just I just teach you how to play them everybody else can be good I'm a facilitator of everybody else's fun.
- It's a tug of war this game it's a tug of war.
- The Mirroring of Mary King it's a two it's correct and well done thank you good it's a two-player tug of war Tile game.
- Eight or more you make the player lose three cards so if you go to nine you're not doing yourself any favors you're just spending a card for no reason and that's a tip that I didn't learn in my second appearance first or second playing so derp derp to me.
