Pros
- Great riff on Coloretto.
- Gameplay experience is different enough to own both Pet Quartet and Coloretto.
- Advanced scoring mechanism is really liked and adds a lot to the game.
- Very satisfying to optimize plays.
- Maestro tiles add nice variety.
- The core playing experience is the favorite.
Cons
- Doesn't feel great at two players; better at three or higher.
- Some maestro tiles drastically change the experience, making it feel less about agency and more about screwing others over.
- The game has the ability to lose points through sheer luck of the draw.
- The final round can feel anticlimactic because players can pass and take nothing.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Card Drafting — Players either place a card into a row or draft that row, making decisions about when to take cards and potentially benefit from or hinder other players.
- Push Your Luck — Players have to decide whether to keep adding cards to a set or to take what's available, with the risk of ruining a column or missing out on points.
- Set Collection — Players are attempting to get either one or four of each card, aiming for soloists or quartets to score points.
- Variable player powers — Maestro tiles are introduced which add rules or modulations to the conductors, changing the way the game is played by introducing new abilities.

Comparison games
none
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Card Drafting — Players take turns choosing to either draw a card and place it under a conductor or take a conductor and all cards beneath it.
- Push Your Luck — Players draw cards and place them under conductors. They can choose to draw another card or take a conductor with its cards. Taking a conductor ends their turn for the round.
- Set Collection — Players collect matching musicians (cards) to score points. Only sets of exactly one card (soloist) or exactly four cards (quartet) score points.

- Hey, I'm Alex Rack from Board Game Co.
- And this is News and Weekend Review, where we go over a variety of news pieces, the videos of the week, the games I've played, the uh games we've covered, all of that and more.
- So, if you want to see the games I'm excited about at Origins Game Fair, we'll be figuring that out together.
- I say it together because I haven't actually done any research on this.
- I am fighting against a cat meowing in the background.
- What's the person to do?
- Everyone has the thing that works for them.
- Now that we've learned way too much about what I do to deal with headaches, let's go ahead and talk about the news and weekend review.
- The biggest thing is sail south for the Isle of Penguins.
- I am very excited for this one.
- Anything for new for Harmonies I am intrigued and excited for.
- Harmony is a fantastic game.
- I like the art. I like the art. I like the style.
- It doesn't tell me a lot about the actual gameplay.
- So, I I am intrigued to see how that's actually going to play out, but it's going to come with new protected area boards,

- So far, the host likes it.
- Provides a different decision tree and math game compared to Color 'Edo.
- Does not regret the $20 purchase based on the first play.
Cons
- Not as good as Size Wise in terms of universal appeal.
- Pitched as a version of Color 'Edo with cutsey art and small rule differences.
- Host debated buying it because they already own Color 'Edo.
Thematic elements
Comparison games
- Color 'Edo
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

Quotes (from this video)
- This is uh probably my favorite from the three new All Play games.
- Kabuto Sumo Dice is basically Strike with the Kabuto Sumo theme.
- it was quick, it was snappy, it was a fun game of just chucking dice and then trying to be the one who wins.
- It's not going to win any awards for highest deepest strategy, but if you've played games like that like Strike, then you'll enjoy and appreciate the general chaotic and craziness of it.
- Bunny Kingdom Town is a two-player version of Bunny Kingdom which my kids are currently obsessed with and so I am very happy to have this.
- it doesn't feel like it's a Bunny Kingdom game. So, for better for worse, I don't know if it's going to feel like a Bunny Kingdom game.
- Sometimes a two-player game can be really really good. Other times it's just a way of selling another version of a game you already own. That might be this, and um it worked.

- Hey, I'm Alex Radcliffe from Board Game Co, and this is news and week in review.
- So, I definitely be It's definitely worth being aware of that at the very least as you choose how to spend your money on board games and as you choose how to spend your money on Prime.
- Effectively, Spirit Island is something that the rights to a lot of the things are held by Flat River Group, but the right to the game itself, he has.
- I always thought Spirit Island deserved better, you know, better everything kind of just to some extent.
- Because Awaken Realms is one of the fascinating companies. Like they have they are responsible. They get they they kind of moved into the Seeman problem where people love to hate to an extent, but people love to hate they How to put this?
- My own two cents here um is that when a company is successful, they either can be comple- or individuals. Individuals, companies, whoever, they can either be like almost completely pure of heart and then they earn a lot of respect for being completely pure of heart.
- But because they've been so successful, you fall into that range of almost some groups of people will love to hate them even as they continue to put out things that are massively popular and have huge audiences and they're clearly delivering things to people who want those things.
- I think the complaints people do have are legitimate. I think they're often over-magnified because of the success of those companies, and I think those complaints often ignore the very large groups of people who are fans of those companies and enjoy what those companies put out and do not have the same issues you do.
- I cannot get over the fact that I played Eureka over 50 times in like a 2 and 1/2 week period.
- I hope you enjoyed this video and as always, I hope you have a good one.

Quotes (from this video)
- It's more expensive for US buyers because of tariffs. Tariffs cost money. We are passing that cost on to you because it's your country that's making you pay that, not us.
- a $200 board game, which is a lot of money for something that is not crowdfunding.
- I will admit I got a lot of sticker shock at that price point.
- Origins always in a weird space for me. Again, I love it, but also feels like it's declining every year. The board game presence feels like it's dropping each year.
- As a general convention, it's a blast. I have fun. I will probably go back every single year.
- I've slowly been cutting back in that effort of maintaining balance in my life.
- The things I enjoy the most with the expansion are probably small like card hunting abilities.
- It's such a challenging puzzle. I really enjoy it. Highly recommend it.
- I also think it still suffers and and is in the shadow of Bunny Kingdom for me.
- I think it is certainly not a Calico or Cascadia replacement for me.
- Ultimately gets priority over Flip Seven with a Vengeance, even if I am chasing that burst and like a few casual viewers and all that.

- Hey friends, it is Jenna. What is up?
- And welcome back to the board game garden.
- June ended up being a very board game-filled month.
- I still can't get over the fact that we're still playing trick- taking games that are completely different than all other trick- taking games, but I feel like overall the base game of trick taking works really well with being changed and manipulated in different ways.
- Oh my goodness, this thing broke me.
- Remember, you are somebody's reason to smile.
