Quotes (from this video)

• I'm a big fan of Arkham War Second Edition, as I mentioned in the video that Travis Burn and I released. This was the game that I think made me fall in love with the idea of this kind of horror storytelling game.
• The remastered edition has an entirely new look. Everything from the cards, the tokens to the player dashboards are looking entirely fresh.
• I have to admit, I have some rose tinted glasses for um for the original. Uh it's I love the style.
• The monster tokens are probably the thing that I'm most disappointed about in the new version. I love these old monster tokens.
• Cleaned up and clarified rules. Very little has been changed the rules. So, this game is still the same game you know and love, but the rules have had a thorough combing through to maximize better understanding.
• For the first time ever, players will have the opportunity to collect the entire Arkham Horror experience in one campaign.
• The investigator sheets slide into a pocket-like triple layered dashboard. Now, instead of the infamous pill tokens sliding around, cubes are held safely in place to denote your stats, stamina, and sanity.
• No more counting tokens. Yeah, I think like not having to actually have health and sanity tokens is really good.
• The new art tries to bridge that gap so it still breathes as Arkham Horror while hearkening back to the 1920s.
• At the end of the day, we aim to update the design to make things easier to understand. Improve the clarity of sequence events while still making sure the designs fit the era that Arkham Horror takes place in.
• Honestly, the these cards all look good. And overall, I actually I'm pretty excited.

Quotes (from this video)

• I really like Decko
• one of my criticisms is if you play Decko at a full player count, you can go through the deck, and the jokers there's not enough jokers.
• So, I need more stuff for Decko already, and so I'm happy this is already coming out.
• number one easily is The Dames.
• The idea of A Feast for Odin, but with so much more content to allow you to explore so many different strategies and really mix like gives you everything A Feast for Odin does, but with a million times more.
• I am over the moon.
• Like like my level of excitement for this one relative to anything I've covered in the past few months.
• will it actually be good? That's a whole different conversation
