Praise for Quicksilver
“There is one (game) that is definitely my pick of (Origins 2013), and that is a brand-new, post-Kickstarter game called Quicksilver. It’s a game about zeppelin racing… It has that ‘je ne sais quoi’, that unknowable element that makes it really click and come together for me. I really enjoyed Quicksilver. It’s my favorite of the show.” (Eric Summerer of The Dice Tower, Ep. 311, 48:50.)
“Jolly good show, old chap! A fairly simple set of rules makes for a fun game about racing airships… The artwork on everything is great, and I really like the style… The board, with its checkpoints built-in obstacles, is laid out really well.” (Jonathan Liu of Wired’s GeekDad)
“Quicksilver is an interesting design that combines features from boardgames, war-games, and even collectible card games to create a unique racing game. More importantly, this game is fun to play!” (PlayUnplugged)
“In the end, we love (Quicksilver). Plain and simple.” (Slamfist Media)
