Quotes (from this video)

• You are an ancient Greek hero. Adysius, Perseus, Edypus, all rolled into one, and your aim is to complete as many of the ancient trials as you can.
• A trial is completed as soon as there are at least as many skill icons on all of the skill cards in its row and column, as shown in its top bar.
• The player with the highest score wins. If tied, most leftover gold breaks the tie. And if still tied, victory is shared.

Quotes (from this video)

• Danny is putting out this game that basically celebrates his life. And he was super excited about it and he is my second favorite designer of all time after Stefan Feld.
• This is a two-player head-to-head version of Danny's greatest design of all time, Windmill Valley.
• It is really really good. It does have that fantasy realms feel but a little bit of far away to it as well where you're trying to build your tableau uh based on the cards that you get.
• For me, it just felt like the Euro game of the moment that was going to sort of fizzle um into the moment.
• So there's so many things that you have to juggle. There's so many things about like, okay, I'm I'm trying to control the draft. I'm trying to control what the Trump suit is going to be. I'm trying to control what tricks I'm going to win.
• This is like I'm not the biggest trick taking guy, but I would play this anytime that it was on the table. It was so good.
• Sean Fa is so good. It's just so good. If you believe in my general philosophy of like keeping the rules the same but then having special conditions uh change things without it being crazy. Shafro is really good.
• The graphic design in this, however, is terrible. You cannot tell the purple from the blue suit apart at all.
• There's going to be a follow-up game to H and Q's called Hints and Tints. Very cute.
