Quotes (from this video)
- Cats Versus Cucumbers. Uh, this plays two to five players in 15 to 30 minutes and it is a lightweight game.
- A lot of the fun of this game is in the theme, right? You're trying to get different cats to put cats in boxes and that's going to score you points, but cucumbers, you can't reroll and they're going to scare your cat away, you know, because cats get scared of cucumbers.
- wombats uh poop square cubes.
- This is a they describe it as a bluffing game for two players, which intrigues me because I think bluffing games are oftentimes, you know, reserved for higher player counts.
- This is not a game about winning or losing or beating your partner. This is a game about getting closer to your partner.
- Uh, I've played Sea Scroll. Uh, some one, the art is awesome.
- this is a really quick playing game card game that like surprised me. I've really enjoyed my plays of Sea Scroll.
- It is a cooperative survival game, a campaign game that has a lot of different con content, a lot of different exploration.
- Soros is a pretty unique trick taking game because you're not doing trick taking with cards. You're doing them with these big chunky tiles They're kind of like domino tiles.
- looks really cool on the table. The table presence of hummingbirds is great
- which I love the title of that.
- This is a
- This is a dexterity style game.
- And it comes with those big emotional moments where you're like, 'Oh, no, it bounced off.' You know, or yes, it felt so good that it landed on there.
- Last Lantern was uh in my top five cooperative games of last year.
- And the cooperative polyomino is a thing I haven't seen before.

Quotes (from this video)
- This is a seven for me, which is a huge compliment to a trick-taking game.
- Artwork on this is fantastic and playing it solo, I don't really gravitate to solo games.
- Don't let that scare you. It's the least Knizia game I think I've ever played.
- This takes the whole all global politics rather than economy.
- It's a game that is a great filler for so many different circumstances.
- I think it would cause too many arguments and that'd be frustrating.
- it's very much a dice chucker, not really a Euro game in the strictest sense of the word.
- It is a really interesting Eurogame
- Shapely, a odd uh named party game where you're putting these little shapes and trying to guess what people put from R&R Games, but actually works out with some clever things in it.
- You're basically in your head trying to figure out how long timers are.
- Um it's a little kooky which keeps me from maybe giving it a higher number.
- this is a game with no frills, just cards and dice.
- This is a game that's similar to Magical Athlete.
- Woo. What a good game World Order is.
- We played Zombie Side, the new pirate Zombie Side live.
- Ooh, the Disneyland game in a world of color.
- All In Predictions, and I gave it a six out of 10. I think it's an interesting poker game but I found it to be very slow-paced.
- I found it to be a little bit of a game that gives both too much information and not enough information and I thought there was too much hand mitigation but too much luck.
- It's a little bit of a of an ill-fitting game overall.
- I like the idea. I love the illustrations and the artwork but I thought the game played a little slowly for what I was hoping for and there's just too much asking the other people, 'What are you holding?'
- Especially late in the hand, you're able to do that thing. It just blows the the bluffing, the guessing out of the water sometimes, which robs the end of the rounds of any tension, any real tension.
- I reviewed, uh let's see, Comet or Quomet? I'm going to guess Comet. I gave it a 7.5 out of 10.
- This is an abstract strategy game for two players and I thought it was really interesting.
- It is a fast-paced game with a an interesting hook, this idea of making the square on the grid.
- Rules overhead is great for the return on the the investment you're putting into it.
- The usual winning condition is, 'Haha, you missed the thing, so I beat you.' Which I'm not super against. I don't mind that in abstract games so much, but this game certainly feels like that's the way to win. Hope your opponent makes a mistake.
- But other than that, the production's lovely. They really know how to make a good-looking wooden game and the game feels good.
- I think it's one I would be happy to teach other other gamers that don't want a lot of rules but want some some brain candy.
- I reviewed Mustache, which I also gave a 7.5 out of 10.
- This is a trick-taking card game, very simple one, kind of a family-friendly one.
- And it reminds me of some of these games that have come out recently that give you little rules along the way, little spicy things to you know, sink your teeth into as you go.
- This one does that but with a light touch. It's very light, it's very simple and I like the changing partnerships in the game.
- I think the humor that the game attempts to to bring forth is is

Pros
none
Cons
- Aimed too low, meant for kids but not very robust.
- Luck is dependent on other players' lack of skill.
- Super basic with unexciting components (just cubes).
- Lack of strategic decisions.
Thematic elements

Comparison games
- Cats Knocking Things Off Ledges
- Animal Upon Animal
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Push Your Luck — On your turn you will decide whether you want to poo or whether you want to wipe. If you poo, that means you're going to reveal the top wombat poop card and you're going to take that piece of wombat poop and place it out onto the board. If you wipe, you're out of the round and you score points equal to the number of poop cubes in the tower.
- Stacking — You have to stack pieces of wombat poop onto the tower.

Quotes (from this video)
- So Wombat Poo is the first one we're going to take a look at here.

- The next game is Wanted Wombats.
- So also absolute silly rule set. I mean, this When I first read the rules of this, I thought Is that the whole game? That's the whole game.
- it is shockingly more fun than it sounds like it should be.
- As gamers look at this and go, this is going to be so stupid. Three. You flip it over and it's a three and suddenly they're hooked.
- I bet I can get it. 10. 10. 10. Yes.
- What I like about this, too, is you have those moments as board gamers where everyone's kind of coming in and you need that filler game.
- Is it a great game? No, not really. Right, but is it more fun than it should be in a lot of ways? Yeah, absolutely.
- So yeah, uh I really do like Wanted One Bat despite its super simple but adorable rule set.
- Don't step in wombat poo and Catch your catch your Wanted One Bat.
- Are there any other wombat games coming out cuz seriously?
