Quotes (from this video)
- It's only a game.
- My body clock has got stuck into the routine of work.
- I've got a couple of games on my review pile. One that I'm choosing to review, one that I've agreed to review, but they're quite big games.
- This is basically the third biggest con in the world.
- With all the games getting more expensive, with tariff uncertainty, with Kickstarter price hikes, you know, we are now at a stage where people need to be honest with their reviews and not mislead consumers.
- This is a good solid game. It's got potential.
- This is pretty evil. And I enjoyed it.
- It really doesn't just feel like another clone. There's more meat to this one.
- It's not tarnished by, oh, look, look at all these celebrity special guests we have.
- Stay hydrated, guys. I can't stress enough how hydration is so important.
- created his own Mario Kart version of Heat. So we played it.
- the items weren't the most balanced. The banana skin was way too damaging to people.
- it's basically a kind of a spin-off of something like Cockroach Poker.
- you pass around gifts that may or may not be what you say they are.
- the fact that it's a memory game combined with the bluffing stuff just makes this quite quite funny.
- if you don't like the mechanic of cockroach poker, you're going to hate this one as well.
- it's not tarnished by, oh, look, look at all these celebrity special guests we have, you know, and stuff like that like some conventions are.
- No, it's we're a convention. We're big. We got a lot of games. We're good. Oh, and by the way, some guests are here. That's kind of the better way it should be.
- make sure you take good footwear and all this stuff and all snacks and stuff still remains true
- So, take care and bye for now.

Quotes (from this video)
- And the aim of the game is to score the most victory points.
- So, at the very start of the game is shuffle your hand of cards... and that's the last time you'll shuffle your cards.
- If you play a dud card as your first left card, you get nothing.
- I don't think I've seen that mechanism in a game before.
- The whole plan is is play two to get the three get three money. It is just to generate as much money as possible to buy the sevens.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Card Play — You play three cards from your hand, which is representing the fact that you've pulled the wheel and the three things come up.
- Deck Building — The twist in the game is that once you have got your starting hand of cards, which is 10 cards, which is a fixed 10 cards, everybody has the same set of 10 cards. You shuffle them at the start of the game, but that's it. You will never shuffle them again.
- Hand Management — You will use that money to upgrade the cards in your hand by flipping them over or buying advanced cards from the offer.
- Set Collection — The reason why I say it's clever is if you've got a set of three cherries and you play cherry, cherry, cherry, that's really good. You're going to get a super bonus card for that.

Quotes (from this video)
- It's very clever in the way that it works between rounds because in between rounds, once you've played most of your cards, one of them passes to the player to the right, and then you will pick up the stacks of cards, but you will keep them in the order in which they are.
- my initial impression was that I was disappointed.
- So, yeah, it's a light card game. It plays really well. I have some minor concerns about replayability just because there's not that many cards in the shared deck, but having played three times now, and every game did play differently for me, yeah, it's fine for for what it is. It's fine.
- It is a little bit more complex than your normal trick taking game, but not so much that it's going to be a problem.
- Agamonia, it's still fantastic.
- I absolutely love this game and I love what they've done with this game.
- But that feels non-theatic and also a bit too punishing.
- Life is short. I have limited time and if we were to play Primal with the official rules, then that campaign playthrough won't be 12 parts. It will be 25 parts and it will take us two years to do it.
- I think this game is a little bit special.
- It'll be good to go to Essen for a for a rest.

- In Shagendo, each player has their own personal deck of cards. During the game, you improve your deck by replacing your weaker started cards with more powerful settler cards.
- Players take the role of forester is dedicated to sustainable forest management as a euro game focused on strategic action management.
- Forester relies on a dual worker placement system in which players control a harvester and a manager each with distinct responsibilities.
- First Giants is even though it's pretty much the same game, there's no text on the cards. It's just iconography which is going to be a lot easier to teach.
- Players act as urban planners, building a sustainable transit network to connect riders to their destinations before the supply of tiles runs out.
