Quotes (from this video)
  • That's clever enough and the artwork's good.
  • This genre definitely is overpop populated, but this one is good.
  • It's really kind of kind of a curious style game. It if it was longer, I think I wouldn't like it, but as it is, it's a nice short filler.
  • It almost gives me a little bit of shades of of Tari.
  • I thought it was pretty clever.
  • But it is one of the most solo games you're ever going to play.
  • I find it very interesting. Just realize how solo it is.
  • The theme doesn't matter, but the cards are bright and colorful. I like that part of it.
  • It's a little short, but it probably needs to be that short.
  • So, it feels like it it could have been a more grandiose game.
