Quotes (from this video)
- played the game once on camera and then gave his review of the tutorial and it at least he's being honest about it
- all he kept doing was comparing it to another game the entire time
- the cooldown system what they call it yeah so basically if you use it if you use this action you gotta way to turn you put it on your Tableau and then at the end of you turn it slides over and once it slides off then you can take it into your hand and use it again right
- I don't like this it's the best way to do it because everyone forgets when they can take it back like you put it and you slide it and you get slides off it comes back to your hand it's it's really simple it makes it very easy to know when something when you get something back too and he's like I don't need that
- he literally watches the guy play the game wrong make mistakes and then complain about the things he did wrong
- publishing zombies
- there was like a line I couldn't believe like they haven't roped off in the back it's changed a lot since the last time I've been there and they had it roped off and people were like around the block and [__] waiting to take the picture it was weird
- it's just like a popup Rocky store they s like Rocky M bilion [__] those people that come take a picture with the Statue yeah
- you can say hi to two of us what a deal two alab Boomers two the Boomers two Boomers the original Boomers Boomer OG y

Quotes (from this video)
- In Cult of the Deep, players are cultists with hidden roles, each with different winning condition
- On a player's turn, player rolls five dice, can be rolled twice Yahtzee-style, and resolving the effects
- If you die, you are not completely out of the game. You came back as a wraith
- Overall, Cult of the Deep offers a quick to learn, not so discreet hidden role game, good if you don't have a good poker face like me, with no player elimination
- The game reminds me of Bang! the card or dice game, but with a little deeper rules
