Quotes (from this video)
  • So, every one of these games surprised me, some for the better, some for the worst.
  • I I I think this kind of game feels like a very mass market kind of game.
  • I love the concept, it doesn't work in practice, at least for me.
  • I hate the box. This falls open all the time.
  • If the goal is to enjoy yourself, feel challenged, feel under the pressure of time while trying to uh well, have a good time, which is the main point of games, I think this delivers in a big way.

Quotes (from this video)
  • I've never had a worse convention.
  • This is immersion in your gameplay.
  • The one ring to rule them all.
  • It's like Battleship where you have two players on two sides of like a screen and then each one is creating a dungeon for the other player to go through.
  • I much more love Gen Con than Essence.
  • Having a tornado. Having a tornado warning at the Gen Con was really interesting.
  • This is the first time all day where we don't look around and are surrounded by people.

Quotes (from this video)
  • This is probably the most I've seen for the merch line ever at Gen Con.
  • Gen Con brings in a lot this year, brought in 75,000 attendees. I think $82 million in local businesses for funds.
  • Lockwood's Asylum, a competitive survival horror deck building game.
  • And your goal is to be the last person standing.
  • The game makers here in full production. It's nice.
  • The scale of Battlefront is just so insane. I I I can't wrap my head around how crazy this Battlefront looks.
  • Flip Tunes 2. This is the only game that I looked up for Gen Con because I didn't make any lists.
  • This is the favorite thing that I saw for today and it was Lord of the Rings: King's Gambit.
  • I love the aspect of that you are trying to give that you're buying monsters to put into other players rooms, which I thought was really funny.
  • Symbiosis. Really love this game. It's a really great fit for my family on trips and everything cuz it's such so tiny and so easy to play.
  • The goal is to get that player to guess the secret word by collectively providing them with three clue words.
  • It's actually one of those games where it's a little bit better if things go off the rails.
  • What what I was really scared of is that a game like this can easily get frustrating if people are not along the same wavelength cuz it just invites that kind of frustration, right?
  • I would never play this game without hints.
