Quotes (from this video)
- Game number four is Jaipore.
- What a wonderful push and pull this game has.
- I truly I cannot recommend Jaipore highly enough.
- And that game is Florestry.
- I cannot believe how fun this simple little game is.
- It makes for some incredibly exciting moments.
- Lost Cities game number two is so ding dang incredibly good.
- Those kinds of strategic decisions of when and what card you're playing or drawing is what makes this game just so interesting to me.
- And it's just like a delightful kind of anger when it happens.
- Lost Cities, don't be like me. Do not sleep on this 30-year-old game.
- The number one game on my list is another one that has been around for a good old chunk of time. It's Tari.
- Tari just feels so unique.
- It just feels different from anything else I own. And I just love it. I love Tari and that's what makes it my number one game.
- Did you skip ahead to this one? Are you a kind of person who like reads the last page of a book before you've read the rest of the book? You're a monster.

Quotes (from this video)
- It's Game Changer Home Edition. All of the fun and ideally less of the psychological torment of the hit show now playable from the comfort of your very home.
- This is a game format will allow us to continue evolving the game over time, making it something Dropout can continue to invest in in my Dream of Dreams home edition becomes a real spiritual companion of the show.
- Okay, I love it. I love the personal touch here.
- The games look fine. And if I'm not a diehard board gamer who does has played a lot of party games, I think they look even better.
- First grade, zero back. All right. Just a straight up cash grab. We don't support the community. We just like money.
- So, the game changer Kickstarter bundle, which includes all this extra stuff that you're going to want because you are contributing and it's got the medal and the stretch goals, but then there's not that.
- It doesn't feel great, but it feels fine. And once again, as someone who wants to support you, it feels totally fine.
- The $59 for the Kickstarter fancy edition, even though it's not really feels fine.
- Masterfully done this campaign. I am just impressed.
- This is it's like, 'Hey, click on this link, go to our update.' Excellent. Excellent.
- And then we need you have you must comment here if you want to be a part of the fun. You cannot comment in the comment section. We're going to completely ignore you if you even go out there.
- It's like, what? But they knew who their audience was. They knew what they wanted. They knew what they could do. And they pulled it off to the tune of $5 million.
- The $5 million, you know, I'll just put it like this. If they weren't attached to it and you just handed this to board game company X that makes party games, hand it to Blue Orange Games, are they raising anywhere near 5 million? No.

Quotes (from this video)
- It doesn't feel great. It feels Kickstarter reasonable, right?
- Like this this is a living breathing exciting campaign and that main image feels like it was created at the beginning of this living breathing exciting campaign and should instead focus on the fact that when you get inside this Kickstarter page, it's not quite your typical Kickstarter page, it's a fun different experience which once again is what people want in party games, right? Like it's so on brand.
- As big as Dropout is, I really don't think anyone else could pull those stretch goals off. They have a rabid fan base.
- Hey, you want stretch goals? Go earn them. You failed to unlock this.
- If they weren't attached to it, and you just handed this to board game company X that makes party games, hand it to Blue Orange Games, are they raising anywhere near 5 million? No.
