Quotes (from this video)
  • Ah, Gen Con spin over for about a month now and I'm going to tell you the five games from Gen Con 2022 and 2026 that I'm never going to have leave my collection.
  • It's like Chinese Checkers, but with cool special abilities and you draft these characters at the beginning and it's fantastic.
  • I don't know a single dang thing about Critical Role. Never watched in my life, don't really care, don't role-play much, but dang it, this is the definitive version of Codenames.
  • This thing is going to sell millions upon millions upon millions of units.

Quotes (from this video)
  • This is for two to six players, ages eight plus.
  • It's under this, then you're going to unscrew the peg, and then that's a point, and then the other person goes.
  • Barely a game.
  • I think it feels like a carnival game somewhat.
  • And then instead of having to pay like $6 for some carnival screw you over, you can just do it at home.
  • I think if you made this like 4 ft tall, people would go absolutely nuts over this.
  • It feels like it could potentially just be one of those lawn games you see becoming really popular in like 20 to 30 years.
  • It's just such a naturally fun like just and naturally fun like a weight on a string.
  • It is a very peaceful, tranquil game.
  • What's this magical lamp going to do? Not too magical.
