Quotes (from this video)
- This is coming from Itten Games, a Japanese publisher well known for party dexterity type games like Tokyo Highway and Crash Octopus.
- It's not a Eurogame. This is a silly party game.
- The components are great. They feel like those pirate coins you get in, you know, at at parties and things like that.
- This is going to be a kind of game that is not going to be for everybody. It is not? Right? Cuz it's very, very silly. It is.
- There's always a push your luck where I've only seen one side of this. Yeah. So I'm like, I don't know what's on the other side.
- To me my favorite part of this game is making noises while other divers are reaching for their coins.
- There's a lot of Schadenfreude in the game and and and that's the spirit.
- A really lovely production I think Hiden does particularly well with these types of dexterity games.
- I'm giving it an eight out of 10. Uh I think it's a really solid game.

Quotes (from this video)
- This is a series that we do where we talk about the different games that we reviewed over the course of the week and other videos.
- It's going to be Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era, came
- Thiefdom, a game where you're running around as thieves on the board. A lot of cool features in this game, but at the end of the day it's just a little too long.
- Uh I did Coral Castle, a drafting game which I found to be very enjoyable. Very simple. I don't The components could be improved, but I like how the game plays.
- What a fantastic game. I'm really enjoying this one. The money pieces could be improved, but just placing out kind of an area control game, but if you don't win, your stuff stays on for the next turn. An engine-building area control game I thought really cool.
- Regret as a game design tool. Oh cool. I use a game design tool every day. Near misses in games that you have to play repeatedly have actually been shown to motivate continued play. They generate a negative emotion, regret, along with a positive one, motivation.
