Quotes (from this video)
- I did not enjoy my first play of Echoes of Time.
- this is a light tableau building card game.
- Flow... it looks gorgeous.
- Covenant. Number two on my most anticipated list.
- Vlaada Chvátil. Do you know what the last game that Vlaada designed was? ... He's not actually designed a new game and had a new game published for almost 10 years.
- It's called Severton.
- I have spent the last 15 years of my life telling everybody that Talisman is such a bad game... And with the fifth edition, I've had to sort of eat my words on that.
- There just isn't enough time to play all of the games.
- IR from Osprey Games. Children of the Sun. Yeah. It is really good.
- Druids of Adora, new Stefan Feld game from Alea
- There may be some Essen live streams while we're there.
- I have written to the publisher to ask for a potential review copy, yeah, but to be fair, I only emailed them yesterday.
- Covenant. I completely forgot that was a thing. Started looking at the pictures and and thinking, yeah, I'm down for that.
- The The Void Voynich Puzzle. Voynich Yeah. Don't forget go to bed reading the Wikipedia articles about the Voynich manuscript.
- Saboteur is the other one which I did know. I saw it on your shelf uh today earlier, but I didn't know much about it. But now you've explained what it is, I'm kind of getting that um like Enid Blyton vibe from it. Yeah. what was it called? The Famous Five. Famous Five. Famous Five. Of that kind of stuff. Yeah. And weirdly, I'm interested. All right. And I've looked at the pictures of that, so yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Saboteur is good.
- I'll be demoing, but I'm demoing um uh Revenant um I think twice on the Saturday from 12:00 till 4:00.
- Trickerion with the Arcane Arts expansion. I think that's my schedule.
- Now, the one game that I am going to be looking at is there's a new game that Mighty Boards have just announced recently called Gods. All right. Which is designed by David Thompson, Trevor Benjamin, and is right up my alley.
- And they said, "Well, at least come round and have a look at it." And I'm like, "Yeah, I'll come round and have a look at it." But I've already agreed that I'm going to be doing content on that.
- I find it really weird and unusual that and and everybody else does this. I'm the odd one, but all of all of these content creators go to Essen, they go to Gen Con, and they have meetings with publishers where they sit down and they make deals about payment and what videos they're going to Right. That's the worst place to have a meeting.

Quotes (from this video)
- I don't feel any pressure to create content.
- This is my full-time job, right? I don't have another job to go to.
- I'm producing all of this content and honestly, if I could produce more, I would because I love what I do.
- The category here or the criteria here is massively popular, really well-respected, solid Euro games that have been around for a while and stood the test of time and are known as just really, really good games.
- No games do. It doesn't need all of the bling and everything else.
- I think most people in life are affected by what's called seasonally adjusted disorder.
- Entering is absolutely free. It doesn't cost you anything whatsoever.
- The secret word this month is haggis.
- All of my advertising revenue from all of my videos goes to charity.
- I don't make any money out of the videos themselves on YouTube. People call me crazy. They would be right.
- It's only 70 to go.
- I have not. No. Not Not even heard of that one.
- I would strongly recommend you just do it because you want to do it. Don't go out and spend £4,000 on a fancy camera, lights, and everything else and think 'Right, I'm going to be the next big channel and I'm going to get 50,000 subscribers in 6 months.'
- One thing that really annoys me is when the games come out at retail like the same time or even before and they're cheaper.
- I personally believe it is fundamentally, morally, and ethically wrong for me to sell a pre-production prototype copy of a game.
- It's International Unplayed Games Day. And the date that I've chosen... is the 1st of July.
- I have already got two of them on my channel, if not three, and I'm doing another one next Wednesday.

Quotes (from this video)
- It's a gem.
- It's a bop.
- It's just this combo-tastic game where there's a bunch of different actions happening that you'll have to go through.
- It is such a clever game that is still very unnatural because you're trying to create gaps with tiles, and my brain despises that cuz I like when things go together nicely.
- It is the silliest game because what you're trying to do is you have stacks of cards in front of you in different stacks, and you're trying to get each of those stacks to have all of one item.
- This is such a good small card game from Capstone.
- The art on Dixit is just unparalleled.

Quotes (from this video)
- This is a cool little tableau builder, just quick, snappy, really fun, really clever little game that I really wish had done well enough to get some kind of expansion.
- It's almost a race. You have to go fast cuz every turn things are going to get harder and harder and harder. If you stay too long, you're probably going to die and it's just a clever balance of speed versus efficiency versus I need some stuff so I can level up.
- At the end of the day, I think the old board had more charm, was a little more thematic, but the new board is a lot cleaner and easy to see exactly what's going on.
- It just works. It really does work. There's so much cool stuff and it is one of the first John D. Clair card crafting games that I've played that I'm like, yes, this I want to play over and over and over again. Just really, really satisfying.
- It's a Euro that oozes theme, crushes the theme. It's complicated. Definitely a complicated game, but I'm really looking forward to getting it back to the table and being terrible at it.
- And they actually put a sticker on the inside of the box, and it was a blessing. You're seeing it on the screen right now. And it just tickled me to no end.
