Quotes (from this video)
- This is probably the most I've seen for the merch line ever at Gen Con.
- Gen Con brings in a lot this year, brought in 75,000 attendees. I think $82 million in local businesses for funds.
- Lockwood's Asylum, a competitive survival horror deck building game.
- And your goal is to be the last person standing.
- The game makers here in full production. It's nice.
- The scale of Battlefront is just so insane. I I I can't wrap my head around how crazy this Battlefront looks.
- Flip Tunes 2. This is the only game that I looked up for Gen Con because I didn't make any lists.
- This is the favorite thing that I saw for today and it was Lord of the Rings: King's Gambit.
- I love the aspect of that you are trying to give that you're buying monsters to put into other players rooms, which I thought was really funny.
- Symbiosis. Really love this game. It's a really great fit for my family on trips and everything cuz it's such so tiny and so easy to play.
- The goal is to get that player to guess the secret word by collectively providing them with three clue words.
- It's actually one of those games where it's a little bit better if things go off the rails.
- What what I was really scared of is that a game like this can easily get frustrating if people are not along the same wavelength cuz it just invites that kind of frustration, right?
- I would never play this game without hints.

Quotes (from this video)
- All right. Number four, we've got Cano from Mad to Go for two to four players. Takes about 30 minutes to play. I like games about art and this one has that creating Japanese painted scrolls in the game.
- but the art is what sort of really drew me in.
- you're trying to make patterns when you put them on your board to lay tiles. It did look interesting.
- I have Night at the Zoo. This is another tiling game. I love laying tiles.
- really interesting it's designed The designer is the same person who did Sagrada and Aquatica, which are heavy Euro games, but this is a lighter tiling game.
- I thought it was a fun theme.
- So, I'm anticipating Pulitzer from 25th Century Games, and this is an investigative journalist themed game. I was a journalism major in college, so I'm always interested in these themed games.
- With strings that you're I don't know exactly how it all it but it just looks really cool and interesting being able to put your strings from the different pieces of evidence you've found. tactile
- So, if nothing else, the theme and the components have definitely made me interested in this game.
- We've got Lord of the Rings: Circle of Conflict. I should say right off the start, it says this is an Essen release, but I believe they might have a limited copies available at Gen Con, so I'm going to call this a pre-Gen Con pre-release at Gen Con.
- My understanding is you're playing against your two neighbors, the players to your left and right. So, each person has a shadow troops and the free peoples army. And so, your shadow troops are playing against your neighbors free people, and your free people is playing against your other neighbors shadow troops.
- I believe this is a dice allocation game. So, rolling dice and then using them to do actions and powers and things like that.
- Lord of the Rings theme, which is a theme that we really enjoy.

Pros
- Great to get a ton of new characters if you enjoy the original.
- The core experience is still great.
- Can mash sets together for interesting combos.
- Very fun game.
Cons
- Not many new mechanics, mostly just new stuff.
- The return mechanic is fine but not amazing or exciting.
- The fish mechanic is just okay and can go out of control, especially in solo.
- Solo play with Season 2 can be easier due to fish combos.
- Season 1 is recommended first for solo play for a tighter experience with less busted combos.

Quotes (from this video)
- It's like a deck builder match with an auto battler in very quick fashion.
- If you want a slightly stronger season, like season creep going on, then I think season 2 is great.
- Season 1 is recommended first for solo play. I think it is the tighter experience with kind of less busted combos.
