Quotes (from this video)
  • If you whisper banana split into Tyler's ear, you'll get a pin.
  • I think the game takes too long.
  • my criticism of fishing is that you can play any card and you'll probably get the same score.
  • We just love their games. Like, it's an easy buy for us.
  • Cat games are a hit.
  • Look at the cover. Um trick taking and the cuteness of the cover. I'm I'm pretty excited about it.
  • And I don't know the trick- elements of this game, but what I do know is it is gorgeous.
  • Stickum is brilliant and I feel like it's a very underrated kind of flew under the radar game and now Piccant is back with Stickham.
  • It plays really quick. It's so silly and it's a ton of fun.
  • We've had a blast playing through this game.
  • You just feel really cool in this game.
  • I really like the colors of this game and the shapes of this game.
  • Now here it's a strategy game but it involves flicking.
  • basically looks like a box of chocolates.
  • but it's also like it's exquisite expensive chocolates.
  • And the theme looks really cool. Everything about it is just calling to me and it makes me feel unique.
  • it's basically a racing game except you don't know what racer you are.
  • Fragments was my favorite game of September.
  • I've have not felt this incredible playing a board game in a very long time.
  • but it is so so so so clever.
  • I am excited for Carpet Racers because I think that is really, really unique.

Quotes (from this video)
  • I think Vlad Chavatal, and as I always have to say, I'm sorry for butchering your name, I think he's a genius and the greatest board game designer ever.
  • The fact that one man designed all of these board games is mind-blowing. Nobody has this kind of range.
  • I can't tell you how happy I am that this isn't just another cooperative campaign game.
  • I find the Kingdom Come universe so uninteresting.
  • The realism of this medieval setting that makes the video game so unique and intriguing just doesn't translate to the board game space.
  • Its fantasy world appears to be overflowing with absurdity.
  • This is the only game coming out at Essen that I think could genuinely surprise me, where I could flip over a card and see something that I've never seen before.
  • Maybe I'm just starving for creativity.
  • And that's why Greenwood is my number one most anticipated solo game of Essen 2026.
