Quotes (from this video)
- So, that one I'm looking at, this is not this though. But the other game that keeps coming up in people's comments on that Avalon Hill video, top 10, Flattop now.
- But the game system looks really, really interesting. And I'm very interested for a number of reasons in carrier combat in World War II from just a game design perspective.
- So, um, this one surprised me. I'm looking forward to our true topics here. These are more half topics, I think, than a full topic.
- Do you match the dice in your war games with the belligerance?
- 61% of you of us, I guess I should put me in it, too, because yeah, that's I just got a bunch of dice. Said yes, that you actually changed the dice colors for the belligerents.
- Excluding digital versions like those on Vassel or Board Game Arena or Tabletop Simulator, etc. How many different board games or war games do you think you play each month?
- 70% of viewers say they play one to two different games each month.
- The rule is to have fun. That's really what we want to concentrate on.
- We have Rich Spilkey. Let's check to see if Rich has all the answers correct. I'm happy to say that Rich went three for three and he is the winner of a $100 store credit to Noble Knight Games.
