Quotes (from this video)
- And speaking of a great expansion for a great game, number seven is the Spirits and Spells expansion for Small Time Heroes.
- These are a reinvention of 20 Strong to a large extent.
- And they basically made me care about 20 Strong again when I was sort of falling off of it.
- This is just a lot of fun.
- Onward was one of my favorite competitive games last year.
- The bot is very intelligent with that.
- Next is a huge one. Y'all knew this had to be on here. My number three is Dungeon Crawler Carl Unstoppable.
- And this one is better. I'll say it. I said it in the video and I'll say it again here.
- This is another Mike's wife played the entire thing with him game and I loved it.
- Just like one of the most amazing kind of narrative legacy experience games I've ever played.
- Which leaves us my number one and that is a competitive game. What are you doing, Mike?
- But it's a competitive game that both my kids adore, which is really why this is my number one, but it's also a great game and that is Layers.
- So far my favorite game of 2026 Layers.
- Overall, I don't know, so far I would say this year is weaker than 2025, 2024, or 2023.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Card-based board — It's also a solo game, right? As opposed to Salvation Road was not a solo game. It was a co-op game could be played solo, and this one is just solo, I'm guessing.
- cooperative play — Salvation Road was not a solo game. It was a co-op game.
- Location Action Selection — Going to locations and doing different things.
- solo game — This one is just solo, I'm guessing.

Quotes (from this video)
- I like the idea of building out the dungeon and trying to make it all work, you know, within your pattern goal, but then also having the corridors and stuff line up, you know, so where you can make your way through the dungeon to make other goals.
- There was nothing about this that I I couldn't think of anything positive to say.
- This looks great, right?
- It manages to feel like it will be strategic and engaging and cozy.
- This is This is a bag builder where you're like you're making your own your own bag where you're upgrading dice. You're getting better sewing.
- It's the most euro, I think, of any IV Studio game.
- I like the look. I like the sort of 80s action movie post-apocalyptic thing.
- This stupid super early bird thing. You are upsetting everybody outside of a hundred people.
- That is bull.
- You've alienated all these other people because as interested as I am in this, there's no way I'm buying it right now for $100 when I know people in this very project got it for 60.
