Quotes (from this video)
- And so I'm talking about the upcoming spring 2026 Tokyo Game Market.
- While I won't be going, I do have some friends who will be there that may be able to pick up a couple of these for me.
- Baseball is a huge sport in Japan and and I do like seeing games with this baseball theme. You don't see it a whole lot, so looking forward to that one.
- I love auction games.
- I always like games that take trick-taking and add some little wrinkle to it.
- I love the look of the game. It has a really great art style, like most of the games from uh Oink Games Studio. I've really liked the way they look.
- And so it looks like another banger from Cunnil. I'm very much looking forward to The Four Duces.
- Hisashi Hayashi finds ways to get really compelling gameplay out of a very simple rule set and I'm expecting no different for Pizza Otter Double Bingo.
- Leo is just rapidly becoming one of my favorite uh, card game designers.
- Sashi puts out a game like this that that kind of is like one of these dice placement style games or mid kind of weight type games, and I'm on board because I've yet to really be disappointed.
- And the only reason it's not number one on my list is because number one on my list is coming from my favorite trick-taking uh designer of all time, who I feel is the best trick-taking designer of all time, Taiki Shinzawa.
- And um I'm I'm here for it. Can't Win just looks fantastic.

- The game is peak Zombicide with a lot of streamlined rules, a lot of interesting captivating choices for the players.
- And if you like DC and I don't think you should play this if you actively dislike DC, then I think you're going to have a fantastic time with this one.
- It is extremely thematic to that experience without I don't with I don't think being like bothersome thematically, but that's up to you.
- there are a lot of uncomfortable topics in there, but it's it is amazing how just immersive it is because of that discomfort.
- If you don't want to feel that, don't get the game.
- This week was deceased uh Gotham City outbreak.
- This is a small retail version of the larger deceased that's coming out with little standees.

- Bag Building/Pulling — Vote tokens are placed in a bag, and a specific number are pulled to determine vote counts in each region.
- Card Drafting — Players simultaneously choose two region cards each round and three political action cards during the political action phase.
