Quantum (2013)

“Quantum is fantastic game. It's exciting without being overcomplicated; it's easy to teach and easy to learn, yet allows players to pull off maneuvers that make them feel clever.”

“It's really, really intelligently designed. It slots all its elements together very, very well, like cogs, gears, springs, whatever, in a lovely pocket watch, and it runs like a pocket watch. It's not slow and heavy and laborious.”(11:50)

“This is really tight, really well bound, super smart, just excellent, excellent game, highly recommended.”(7:13)

“Quantum is an intellectually stimulating and meticulously designed board game that is sure to captivate the minds of strategic gamers.”

“If that hasn’t put you off you will find a brilliant and smart game that is not only fun to play but also a beautiful piece of game design.”

“All in all, Quantum gets two thumbs way up for me because first of all I love how easily it's teached and how easily it is to play. Now, you will have to take to master like I said earlier, but it is a very simple game to teach and play, and I love that about games.”(17:51)

“This game, despite some questionable component issues, is a brilliant implementation of a dice placement mechanic in space.”

The reviewer highlights the game's great strategic depth and fast pacing, noting that it encourages tactical player interaction while keeping penalties for losing ships forgiving and manageable.

“It's got a really, like I said in the introduction, it's got a really simple but awesome rule set that you can teach to somebody if they've definitely played games like this before. You can teach it to them in about maybe 10, 15 minutes. It is, um, it's got a lot of deep gameplay, a lot of difficult, tough decisions.”(30:51)

“If you don't mind some randomness in your board games, pick up Quantum. It is fun, has replay value, and you can easily teach it to new players.”
