Quotes (from this video)
- In terms of light filler card games, this one is a real standout to me.
- It adds this fun bit of tension for a really light little set collecting game.
- And adding that shuffle push your luck mechanism to a draft that you've manipulated really really worked well.
- It's a good game. Highly recommend it. Very approachable. Even though it has those couple of uh very gamery mechanisms in it, it's very family level friendly. It'll be a perfect filler for people who like heavy down to light games.
- They always have great components, great artworks and this is a great engine building.
- Yes, this is, you know, this style of game, the arknova ants, terraforming Mars type of game where you've got the giant deck and the major thing you're trying to do is get a big tableau of those and most of them do something immediately and some of them give you ongoings and some end game points.
- I always say that's the one of the things that frustrates me about or terraforming Mars is that you are mining the deck for things randomly.
