Quotes (from this video)

- It is based loosely on Shakespeare. Um you you've got Puck and and so it's like a Midsummer Night's Dream.
- every time you play something weird is going to happen.
- I have been delighted by Titanium Core.
- Lot of really cool stuff in this one. Really light 10-15 minutes on the box is super correct. I think this one's really cool.
- This is a Turkish Star Wars figure. It's called Headman.
- The parallels with it with Star Wars are definitely that you know there's like one kid. He is The Last Starfighter so he's not the last Jedi, but you know The Last Starfighter.

- Salacious B. Crumb is the name of Jabba's little... He's famous. He's a big He's a He's a big He's a Muppet.

- The game comes with 17 dice. They are of different colors because they represent the various gems that we found underneath the soil.
- The game ends as soon as either all layers have been scored or you are unable to roll five dice at the start of the round because you don't have enough of them in your supply.
- We scored 303 if I added all those numbers correctly.
