Quotes (from this video)
- it's an abstract Dungeon Crawler
- the box folds out to become where the Camp is
- the rocktopus was our favorite monster
- for two players you each get two characters and that worked well
- it's very much a wrestling game but it's like a fighting card game

Quotes (from this video)
- The answer is maybe but let's get into that
- I think my favorite Venture and everything is in this box the Druid for anybody who's wondering but it just is a little bit more of the same
- setat doomed run is the big box container for all of your set ofat boxes with a little cubby here to hold all three
- The loop that they introduce of getting a new difficult stipulation that you have to navigate through figuring out how to navigate through it playing four rounds with that stipulation and then getting a reward as a beautiful little carrot at the end uh is great
- I think that just wouldn't be worth it for me
- organizational issues aside I would recommend getting this
