Quotes (from this video)
  • What's your plan for Essen Spiel? Here's what I would do in one day.
  • The verdict is still out on that one for me. It looks great, has a cool Rondel, but I think Carl von Linné may have scratched the itch on the more like biographical themed board games.
  • I'm not going to lie, it's ambitious. It might take me 2 days.
  • What are your priorities?

Quotes (from this video)
  • Biggest reason is I don't want to be influenced. I don't want to get caught up in the excitement of other conversations that are happening. I want to have an unbiased opinion.
  • So the way that I've decided to develop an unbiased opinion is by reading rule books.
  • I think I've read 60 rule books and uh I read them cover to cover and then based on my reading of those rule books I make the content.
  • I do find that uh publishers of my favorite games keep releasing similar games that are really great and um sometimes I go back to the publishers that I've had in the past.
  • Gosh, did I hate this rule book.
  • I do not like how Entropy wrote their rule book.
  • This is an adaptation of a like a I guess it's a video game. I don't play video games.
  • I just didn't think it was standout.
  • I just dug it by its cover. I'll be honest.
  • I don't do scary games ever.
  • The things that I choose on the channel are games that I choose because I like them.
  • It's not because publishers are giving them to me to put on the channel.
  • ultimately what I try to do is I try to select games that have great rule books that just really draw me in and things that I want to play.
