Quotes (from this video)
- The guy's review electric football and blitz bold plus a preview of football highlights
- Nobody cares about that but yes mega mousse con which is down here at beautiful Convention Center just south of Charlotte in South Carolina
- The guy's are more relatable to me and it is nice to see a different demographic than other podcasts I listen to
- Well I think it's a fad not in my house I'm just saying I think it's a fad
- it's been redone it works really well and if you're into board games it's definitely very much a board game with a little bit of a vibrating field or table to it
- The models are gorgeous they're pushed to fit their heavily detailed plastic models
- if you're looking for a lighter version of Blood Bowl if blood bowl seems too long and too intimidating to you then I think this is a really nice little niche game to get to the table to get that blood bowl feel that you can easily play in 45 minutes
