Quotes (from this video)
  • It's sometimes touted as the better Farway. No, I would not say that, definitely not, because it is in any case a very classic style, if you look at it that way, wouldn't you agree?
  • The card drawing mechanic is fun, and contemplating which of those cards I should actually play now is quite engaging.
  • Only Koso diis is a trick-taking card game with dice.
  • The dynamic that is created by this scoring system is truly fantastic, and it is also the reason why, in the duel between Nosu and Schadenfreude, Schadenfreude is miles ahead for me personally.
  • Schadenfreude was clearly more fun and led to a much better atmosphere at the table.
  • Schadenfreude is simply the new king for me.
  • Nok Koso is nice, it features this nice little twist, and it is a cult game which has often built up its reputation quite naturally as being something of a grail game
