Quotes (from this video)
- In Dreadful Meadows, you're not baking your grandma's cookies. Oh no, you are a character with asymmetric powers, cultivating a monstrous candy garden, grabbing the best patches for your garden, sending your workers to work, and fulfilling concussion cards to have the most points.
- The most points wins.
- In Candy Cove expansion, four more characters with asymmetric powers are available and interchangeable with the base game.
- What's better than five options? Nine options.
- They come with the solo sour mode powers too.
- Does this candy spark joy? It sparks cavities. Then it sparks joy for my dentist.
- Candy Cove is like dunking it into frosting and sprinkling it with cows.
- It's all about planning combos that make your candy engine run.
