Quotes (from this video)
- Fiction: Banned Books, this is from All Play. I really like the first Fiction, guessing a five-letter word. If you like things like Wordle, um this is a good sort of one versus others game because one person is trying to stop you from guessing the word cuz they lie they have to lie about a letter each time, but you know they lie, so they're picking the right time to lie. But this offer this adds some special powers and things to it, so it's slightly better than the first one, I think, if you care about the stuff. If not, you can still play it normally, so great little game.
- Got 5, a great deduction game for kids, wonderful components. Basically, um you everyone can see your numbers and you're guessing if this is higher or lower than your numbers and where they fit on a grid really works well for kids. There's a lot of good deduction games for kids these days. Another 8.5.
- And Catan on the Road, what a glorious card game version of Catan, one one few games that I am going to get a copy of this for my house because my kids and family liked it so much. We can play this with anybody. It takes Catan, it distills it down into 15 minutes. What a wonderful thing. Like it a lot.
- So, almost 15 minutes for 36 games.
- If you have thoughts on these games, you disagree, agree, whatever it might be, let us know in the comments.
- Like I said, you can find more information about most of these games on the Dice Tower channel or you will hear more about them in the future.
