Quotes (from this video)
- And so there we have the new list. And as you can see we got Flamecraft Duel's played which is a really good head-to-head two-player cozy game set in the world of Flamecraft with the adorably cute theme of this is the lunchtime game that the Flamecraft dragons play tiling.
- The deluxe edition is just a freaking triumph [snorts] of production. Beautiful beautiful game.
- This is a very cool production. It looks like a book.
- Really clever game in that it uses this idea of you place multiple workers down on each space that you do and that determined who gets to act first. And then all the worker placement spots activate in order.
- It is the most generic name with the most beige-y generic looking boards. But really good.
- It's not a flip and write game but it's basically a flip and write game except instead of writing you have little cubes you're putting out. And it's just a really satisfying fast game and the way it works out and the way the cards come out and the way you get to customize your own board, it's a really really satisfying game.
- everything I'd heard was it didn't quite stick the landing and it didn't quite stick the landing but I did have a good time with it.
- This is a co-op real-time word game that is just so very clever.
- And one of the cool things about this new expansion is this is one of those expansions that is a sometimes used. And I find that that is very very rare.
- This was all the rage at Gen Con and what a cool game.
- It's probably Mrs. Hungry Gamer's favorite game.
- This is a dungeon crawl that's actually a pretty light and simple dungeon crawl as far as the gameplay goes but like a Dungeon Universalis has all of the rules that you can imagine. Rules for almost everything and the s- stick is it has this beautiful cardboard scenery. I mean beautiful scenery.
- This is not one that's like a Tales from the Red Dragon Inn or a Wanderer's Cult of Barnacle Bay that I'm like, 'Okay, yeah, get this to the table.' This is one that I'm going to play by myself a lot.
- I really like adventure card games. I don't really care about Cthulhu. So, I'm curious how this is going to drive for me.
- And he [clears throat] loved it. He played it multiple times at the con. And so, now I'm extra excited to play this game.
- This is a game that was my honorable mention game of the year two years ago as kind of like my heavier than normal game for me that I thought was really really good.

Quotes (from this video)
- My Book Nook cozy word building game.
- looks like a really neat sort of game about creating bookshelves and lining up books.
- the artwork lines up so as you stack cards, you sort of create this shelf of books with letters and it looks neat.
- Flip Pick Towers, which just looks really neat. I was kind of drawn in by the art style of this one and how it is about creating these towers, but you're drawing and there's different um scoring conditions or objectives.
- Mayor of Chicago, mostly because you've got animals but so in a in a not nature setting, which always interests me, but it looks like a a neat sort of puzzle of having these different cards that can be used in different ways.
- It looks like the translated version or name of it is City of the Dancing Carp or Carp City. This one is very very different.
- It has stickers, which if you know me, I'm not a big fan of stickers, but the way that they're used, it's sort of a a puzzle book, but it almost looks like a Where's Waldo or Where's Wally type situation with the the artwork and just the the big book of kind of going through and looking at stuff and solving puzzles, I think.
- Voidfall expansion. I think it was Voidfall Resurgence. I have not technically played Voidfall solo. I've played it multiplayer. I am really excited about this one. It's just something that I need to kind of get into the right head space to learn and understand the complexity because this is a a heavier sort of game.
- Another one is the Public Access RPG, which is based off of Brindlewood Bay, but it's sort of this horror sort of RPG about VHS tapes and some weird stuff going on.
- the Old King's Crown. So I skipped this initially. I And honestly, I think that I thought Ascendancy, which I mentioned I played, was this game.
- It just looks like a really interesting sort of puzzle. I'm really drawn to the artwork and I know artwork isn't everything, but this really looks like a a unique sort of game and I really always enjoy that concept of sort of traveling through the not necessarily generations, but the king has fallen, who's going to take up the helm and sort of building in a story, a little piece of history based on however I play.

- The art is gorgeous. The art is like very fun to like build your words.
