Quotes (from this video)
- I can't believe it's already that time of year.
- So, what I've done is I've gone through the great list, the preview list from Board Game Geek. I've gone through all of these games and found my top 10 most anticipated games.
- Grill games are games that you've always wanted, but are no longer in print and very hard to find. Hence finding the holy grail.
- Everything speaks to me in this game. The crime theme, I love Clue was one of my favorite games as a kid. Anything that's crybased like this that feels clueish, motive, suspect, this I just love the the noir looks cool. U just the fact that somebody is actively trying to mess up the information you're getting. So you're trying to like piece things together just sounds super interesting to me.
- To me this is like really clever cuz it's team versus team. It's hidden movement. It's kind of one versus many but it's more than one. It's like but there's different roles, right? You have the leaison like directing things. You have the other people hidden movement and then you have the other person trying to figure things out. It just seems really clever, but it's like matching hidden movement with like code names, if you will, because you're using word clues to get them moving the right direction to get to certain things.
- It just seems super clever. Uh, it seems to bring together two things I love, which are clever word games and and one versus many and deduction.
- My lists tend to be very different from many other content creators. Uh cuz I really go through the list of fine tooth comb and I try to look look for hidden gems which I've hopefully I found here.
