Quotes (from this video)
- it is my favorite game of the year and probably of many years
- just for bringing slay the Spire kind of accurately like adapting it so well to the tabletop I would be so so impressed just with that
- the fact that we can also play it cooperatively and that like ra can join me on these runs just makes it Excel just makes it sing
- I can't fault it in any way whatsoever
- there's so many good things it's really hard to cut it down
- we're starting out with number 10 but I'm going to say the numbers wrong in a minute because I'm reading off a spreadsheet and I've done row numbers wrong
- I mainly play solo or two players uh and a lot of the two players is not exclusively but a lot of it is cooperative games
- if they are competitive then there is little to zero like negative interaction between the players no Fighting No Stealing anything like that have zero interest in doing that against another player

Quotes (from this video)
- I've been commissioned by Postmark Games to do another video for 52 Realms.
- And I'd say if you're completely new to 52 Realms Adventures, I'm going to be explaining what I'm doing here as I'm doing it, but maybe that first map might be an easier introduction.
- But yeah, I'm excited to be back because this was one of my favorite games of last year.
- So, it's not a straight path through this stuff.
- So, the passages are 12. I've got exhaust equipment equal to or greater than 12 to pass through this passage.
- So, we are fighting enemy A. A means whatever the rank of the enemy is, it's five more than that is its HP.
- So, I think I'm going to block with an eight. So, he attacked me for seven. I blocked with eight.
- So, he's doing clubs. Attack X. If not damaged, increase the clock by one.
- So, I can do 14 damage. I've got no equipment though like ready. So you are done.
- The loot doesn't matter because I lost.
- I was so close as well.
- I didn't ever fail at a passage.
- But there we go. That is some more 52 Realms adventures.
- I'd like to do another one with the hunter to be honest.
