Startups (2017)

“Overall i am delighted with startups i think i can comfortably say this is probably my favorite oink game to date i'm certainly the meteor certainly the cleverest and um you know i'm always looking for good smart tense filler games and this one is certainly that”(10:55)

“Startups is delightful. It's a quintessential card game that doesn't come in one of those boring boxes that a game like Dealt or Llama or No Thanks they all come in, that to American. For me, Startups, my 26th favorite board game of all time.”

“Such a clever little game just like any other oink game folks the rules are super simple to uh uh to learn and then you're surprised by the depth of the game”

“Overall, I’m quite fond of Startups. I’ve played it a bunch, it’s never been bad, and I’ve always had fun with it. It’s a very simple concept for a game that remains interesting throughout the entire round, which I appreciate.”

“Startups is a small, adorable game with quirky company names. It may be a bit confusing to begin with, but after a few rounds, it charms players with its looks and fast-paced game-play, making it very easy to have just one more round, and then another one.”

“It's a great game at three or four players and a good game with five people, but loses it's magic when you try it with six.”

“I had never heard of this game until being gifted a copy by my girlfriend, and I got to say she chose well. I'm typically not into bluffing type of games, and even though this game doesn't have outright bluffing, it does have a similar vibe.”(8:53)

“I like that it's interesting it certainly blows the original away rights uh again also from oink games both in the look and in the game playay it it absolutely blows it away so from that point of view I like this very much more but the game is still a fairly simple game”(12:25)

“While I would rate Love Letter higher (for clever interaction between cards, for instance), this is one Startup I’m happy to invest in.”

“So this is not a glowing recommendation for Startups, but I did enjoy the experience. I thought the mechanics were fascinating and I would not turn down playing this one again in the future, although I don't think at this point I'm gonna go out and get a copy of it for myself.”(30:09)

“Well, there ya go. That puts my mind at ease and makes this game worth very little to me now.”
