Quotes (from this video)
- So, yeah, let's talk about Gen Con.
- Gen Con with a baby was interesting.
- The culture has completely shifted.
- She called herself a board game nepo baby.
- And like, that shouldn't go together at all, but it does, and I can't wait to see how, so that's pretty cool.
- So, whenever they there's some new sets that they have a Illumineer's Quest come out, and so this one is The Great Honey Rescue.
- So, I had friends that were like, "Ryan, go buy me a copy. Go get a copy uh of Flip Tunes 2 for me."
- We want to back a game pack back a game that we're going to have forever and it's best version.
- All right, so speaking of there was a tornado like I had mentioned earlier.
- One of the things that people don't talk about at a big convention like Gen Con is the gaming itself.

- I'm only excited about this for one reason, it's in the tiny box.
- It's a game where you are going to rip, crumble, fold, and twist a small piece of paper.
- It's really cool. You have this 3D puzzle in front of you that you are looking at, and you are going to be you holding it kind of like a steering wheel, and then picking it up and rotating it 90 degrees.
- If you're one of those people who's like, "Yeah, I love trick-taking games. I like trick-taking games and I just have a whole big collection of trick-taking games because all of as long as it does something slightly different."
- And you have me at universal expansion.
- This side game has the unique ability to impact the other game point-wise and stuff like that.
- I love Vampire Survivors.
- It's Emerson Matsuuchi, who is quickly moving up the ranks as one of my favorite game designers of all time.
- The bottom line is it's two-player Werewolf. I'm just intrigued at that, quite frankly.
- We tried it in the press room. We're like, "Wow, this game is super sticky great."
- Now there's a version which you don't have to feel gross when a card comes up about.

Pros
- Each game feels different and distinct, with 15 minimum unique adventures.
- High replayability, with families likely to play 20-30 games from the five boxes.
- Fantastic children's game.
- Easy-to-understand iconography.
- Enjoyed learning about different places and stories.
- Thematic artwork changes for different settings (e.g., scuba gear for underwater monsters).
- Strategic thinking involved (e.g., when to use the mermaid in box 5).
- The dog card is useful as a wild and allows players to 'bail out' if needed.
- The banshee's mechanic of navigating blindfolded players is fun and unique.
Cons
- Last monsters in continents (Europe, Americas, Asia) felt repetitive (find this then this, or this, this, and this).
- Wasted components with identical skeleton cards having different colored backs, preventing mix-and-match and replacements.
- The Banshee monster was difficult for younger players due to the blind navigation mechanic.
- The lamp component would not stand up properly, requiring house rules.
- The final box/game was underwhelming compared to earlier ones.
- Some players wished the Banshee or other unique monsters were persistent throughout the game.
- The spider monster felt 'crammed in' and not like a 'monster'.
Thematic elements
- Collecting information about various monsters from different parts of the world.
- Around the world, including Europe (Scotland), Americas, Asia, Africa, and underwater.
- Learning about different locations through rule booklets and encountering monsters unique to those areas.
Comparison games
- Werewolf
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- cooperative play — Players work together to achieve common goals, with actions often benefiting the group.
- Legacy-esque Aspects — Minor elements like being able to name the dog, suggesting a slight persistent change or personalization.
- Limited Communication — A core aspect of the game where players are not supposed to communicate what they have in their hand or what they see, especially when eyes are closed.
- Memory — Players need to remember the location of monster tiles on the table.
- Press Your Luck — Present in certain monsters like the spider, where players decide how far to push their memory luck.
- tile flipping — Players flip over tiles to reveal monsters or perform actions.
- Wild cards — The 'trusty dog' acts as a wild, helping players find any monster they are looking for.
