Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Card Play — You'll be playing a numbered card from your hand down in front of one of the members of the royal court that matches the suit the color of the card that you're playing.
- End game scoring — Or when the deck runs out, whoever has the most pawns in total on their side wins.
- Set Collection — If at any time you get all four of those purple pawns on your side, you automatically win.
- special abilities — Every member of the court has a special ability that if the pawn starts your turn on your side, you can move the pawn back on the tile and use that special ability.
- Tug of War — It's a little tug-of-war game where you will have this line of tiles.

Quotes (from this video)
- Obscurio is a great kind of obscure game because, you know, Obscurio rightfully gets compared to a game called Mysterio. And it's a game that came after Mysterium. And quite honestly, it improved on Mysterium, but it just never got the popularity that Mysterium got.
- It just had that cool sort of Dixit vibe of like interpreting this interesting artwork but done in a really great way.
- My selection is a game that is a 6.7 out of 10 ranking on board game. But it's a game that I discovered and I really enjoyed and I would gladly play it anytime.
- And Noises at Night is a little hidden deduction game. It's not a social deduction game. We do have hidden rules, but there's a deduction element to it.
- So, do I want to guess right now? I have an idea, but do I want to get it wrong and give you more points right now? Cuz that could really be the difference between winning and losing this game.
- So, there's like a lot of little layers to the deduction. It's still light, don't get me wrong. It is still a light family game, but there's like more layers to the strategy than I think you initially think about in the game.
- So, it's a fun little, you know, plays in 15 to 20 minutes, plays in like, depending on player count, you're playing five rounds, six rounds, something like that. And rounds go quickly.
- Noise at night is the super obscure game.
- If you have an obscure game that you champion, let us know.

- It's not about being faster than the vampire is it it's about being faster than the person next to you.

- I split you choose mechanism it's criminally underrated.
- This is probably one of my top five gaming experiences of all time and I will 1,000% be getting this when it's out we just have to wait until 20125.
