Quotes (from this video)
  • Their game choice is fantastic and to me the creative choices are all vibrant and spot on.
  • Gosh Bon Trick already was pretty much the pinnacle when it came to set collection and trick taking.
  • Plate's version elevates that to the next level by adding actual coins for your spending currency and a slot in the box that adds just the most delightful charm and elevates an an already surprising level of theme for what is a mathy trick taker.
  • They really embrace this infusing whimsy into the production.
  • I really love the way these games look on the shelf.
  • I am so stoked for what's to come from play.
  • I am just ecstatic, elated that one of my favorite climbing shedding games, Dickory, is going to be getting a new version, as well as Hellas, Enemy and Enemy, and even more.
  • I cannot wait to play some of the new versions of these, and you can be absolutely sure that we are going to be talking about them as soon as we can.
  • Really delighted by them, and I am so happy with what amazing stuff that play is bringing to the hobby right now.
