You lured me in with the acting. Then you seduced me with the beard. And won my heart with the accent.

Really like your format,James. Perhaps a little less attempt at objectivity would be nice, to see your tastes. Not that I would expect anything like, say Tom Vasel, your style is clearly different. I would maybe like to see a little more intro to the game before your excellent illustration of the game parts/mechanics.

Pretty good game! The trickiest part for a Brazilian guy when presenting it for friends is that Fresco is slang for "sissy".

I must say, these days with so many games out there I try to get an idea of the quality of a game I'm considering buying by checking out reviews here at boardGameGeek. You've become one of my favorite reviewers. It was based on this review I bought Fresco and I'm glad I did. Thanks!
