Quotes (from this video)
- These are six games that I did not particularly enjoy at all and I'm going to tell you a little bit about them and a little bit about why I don't like them.
- Unfortunately, the highest I rate any of them is a five, but let's get started.
- The prince player to me just makes the game tremendously unfun.
- This is a very small game that has too many symbols for how small it is and that's really my problem with the game.
- It's just an amusing thing for a very brief moment. Once you pass that brief moment, it's not amusing anymore.
- Artwork is fantastic. Unfortunately, that's the best I can say about this game.
- Oh no, we crashed is 52-card pickup.
- This is not a very good game for me, a four out of 10.
