Quotes (from this video)
- I am CMO of Gamefound, but I do this series on Gamefound because it is the easiest one.
- This is more Slay the Spire content. More things to mix in and new characters to dive into and new ways to kind of play through the progression of it all.
- Brass Pittsburgh from Roxley being well, the number one game of all time.
- The Witcher Legacy brings the world of The Witcher Old World, but it brings it to you in a legacy game.
- But as an experience, it still is the best RPG board game I've played in the sense that giving me that sense of a character development, making choices, exploring the narrative while diving into combat, and having different uh diverse branching pathways as far as the mechanical elements of what you're doing in the game.
- So, like the earlier stuff, I'm going to try to make you uh if you're excited about finding all the stuff about Lands of Evershade or who knows what, Slay of the Spire, those will all be later in the video.
- The art style, I love the the the components, obviously, Awaken Realms, the general idea of like, you know, this eventual climactic boss fight. I like all that.
- The sheer amount of content both excites and scares me for this one.
- So color me both very interested and very hesitant all at the same time.

Overall sentiment (raw)
positive
Pros
- Far more narrative.
- Cooperative gameplay.
- Leaves a game that can be continued to play after the legacy aspect.
Cons
- Likely a one and done due to legacy mechanics.
Thematic elements
- Legacy game based on The Witcher
Comparison games
- The Witcher: Old World
- Pandemic Legacy Zero
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Card Play — it has that same sort of card play.
- legacy — It's a legacy game and it is probably a most for the most part a one and done, but they did promise that there is in the end you're left with a game that you could keep continue to play.
- tile laying — Sanctuary. This is the followup to Ark Nova. It is a lighter experience, but I wouldn't say it's a light experience. This is a tile laying game strictly.

Quotes (from this video)
- I don't want to make elevators going up and going down.
- It is basically mascot racing like the you go to the baseball game, they got the you know the big wiener guy.
- If you need something just super fun for a party, it I'll be buying it for sure. It's it's it the production value is amazing. So much fun. I highly highly recommend this game.
- So it almost feels
- I had as much fun playing it as I did teaching it.
- It almost feels like programming it.
- They call it an auto battler uh after sort of the video games that are auto battlers but tag team.
- It had the vibes of flip seven, but not the mechanics. You're rolling dice and there's all these different denominations of money
- The rub is that if you haven't banked your money... you bust and you lose all your unbanked money.
- So, it definitely I missed this. This is that's interesting.
- and it was definitely if you like playing flip 7, you'll like this sort of game. There's a lot of these gambly, you know, have a night with hot streak, flip seven and rolly when it comes out. Uh it was just a blast.
- And that I think speaks to why the trend not only at Gen Con, but the trend in the hobby is going towards more of those types of it's it's at least definitely the trend in my personal taste.
