Quotes (from this video)
  • So, we have two more games to talk Oh, wait, no. I guess four more games to talk about because two to buy and two to demo. Wait, one more to demo, two buy. Oops, silly little figured.

  • This is a The Lord of the Rings. The Lord of the Rings and it is a roll and write. It is a roll and write.
  • I understand the game being like very much you're playing the person on your right and you're playing the person on your left. You're taking the role of like the good and the bad in this game to uh go on against the opposite on the right and the opposite on the left and I think there's a lot of interactions that go on, a lot of communication that will have to happen around the table to make sure that the turns are flowing.
  • I'm a huge fan of Sashi and Sashi and they will be debuting to move Railway Porters at UKGE.
  • It is by Taiki Shinzawa and it's a trick taking game where every player has a condition that they must follow in their trick taking. But every condition is different.
