Thanks a bunch … sometimes I wonder if we have more fun talking about what made the game fun than the fun of playing the game … This has been a unique process of working together and trying to figure out what we want in a channel. I am surprised at the amount of input and encouragement that we have received. Thanks for your comment!!

The big question is,”who wrote this comment? Jeff or Jamie? … our money is on Jamie but we aspire to keep Jeff’s attention all the way to the end of one of our videos … even a short one :). It’s not a short attention span as much as a healthy dose of interest in everything … at least that is what we keep telling ourselves.

I’ve seen videos like this before, but this was by far the most original and best. Your answers weren’t cookie cutter and they were explained so well. I love that you had examples and that you used the tiles! Great way of having “title/lower thirds” without having to do them in post :) As always, very funny banter between you 2 and the zooming in on the hand movements gets me every time. Lol

Hey Eric, thank you! See we did help you scrub through the video and know when we had a new point :). Both Bodie and I enjoy talking about why we enjoy the games and what it is that makes some games more enjoyable than others. We did not talk about the all important concept of who you are playing with determines how much you enjoy a game as well. Maybe that we will be another video. Your comments are encouraging. Thanks again.

Literally just discovered this channel after a year of being obsessed with board games and amassing a collection of 100+ games and large all in kickstarters. I love what you are doing. You guys seem like my kind of people. All substance and genuine fun and discussion without the typical board game channel soy or virtue signaling. 🔥🔥🔥

@@DeadGoldfishProd look up TGG games. They rock and back kickstarters so you don’t have to. They sell you the final product for a little less than backing it direct and you aren’t out money for a year plus. Next arrival I am looking forward to is Return to Dark Tower All In. Favorite kickstarters at the moment are Assassins Creed Brotherhood of Venice, Chronicles of Drunagor, Steamwatchers and Zombicide 2nd Edition. I mostly play solo and dabble from time to time with my wife but it has to be a less complex game. 3 year old son I am eager to get into the hobby. Definitely will be looking into building the table too soon featured on the channel. Using wood vinyl flooring is genius.

Great video guys!! And I wholeheartedly agree that Camaraderie & Relationships are what puts board gaming on top! That's why a few years ago I decided to convert my hobby of collecting action figures into board gaming. Whereas with action figure collecting, I 'maybe' got to interact with others once or twice a year at conventions, or through comments I would receive from posting pics of my collection online. NOW, I can interact and create really awesome memories with friends and family on a regular basis playing board games. I used to dread the day I would have to give up my action figure collection, but now I get totally excited when I sell an action figure, because it means I can buy a new game!! Yes!! Loving it, and loving your channel, keep it going guys.

The lovely couple, Jamie and Jeff, recommended your channel recently. I'm so glad they did. You both seem like very nice and genuine human beings. I like all of your reasons you came up with to describe what make board gaming a fun hobby. I've just gotten into the hobby in the last two years and am still enjoying discovering what makes it so compelling for myself. I think mostly it is the connection and interaction with other people that board games can provide while still be entertaining and challenging at the same time.

Yes, we have definitely noticed the increase in traffic today form their followers. We have an ongoing challenge with them to try to get Jeff to watch one of our videos in its entirety. In our conversations back and forth we have made an effort at an 18 second game review video. We will see …. I totally agree with you that the unique interaction that people have while playing games is why this form of entertainment and relaxation is so much better than other forms. Thank you for following them and finding us.

Holy cow, I can't believe how much I like about this channel right out the gate. I love that you're in a garage workshop, I love the father/son relationship, and I really, really, like the wood burning stove. My big project during covid was turning our old freestanding garage into a gaming space, and I was sorely tempted to heat it with a stove like that! Anyways, I wanted to tip my hat to you guys. I haven't found a board game channel that made me excited to watch it right from the get go like that. Keep it up and wishing you guys the best.

Thank you for your kindness! We love the wood stove and went through great lengths to feature it in this video (Hence the somewhat awkward angle). We have it running for most every video (unless we are recording in the summer. 110 degree weather is just not quite right for a wood stove). We have discovered that playing games in the garage is the best. You can be as loud as you want, keep the lights on as long as you want, and if you want to customize anything you have all the tools at your disposal. Thanks for watching!

I think you both hit the core of why I enjoy this hobby between your two lists. Definitely people and relationships but also the decisions, experimenting, and experiences that games can uniquely provide. Another aspect that separates table top games for me is the tactile nature of the physical game and shared space. Being able to physically interact with components and people is a huge win for board games more so now than maybe ever before as we’re more tied to screens and digital interactions. Keep up the great work! Just discovered your channel and enjoy what you’re doing!

I love replaying games because I love trying new strategies. That process of discovery is fantastic! Well @Sam Brock looks like we need to make another video!

Love what you say about do/be with/relationship/comradery. Recently played Scythe with my 7yo daughter (disclaimer: we had previously played several games of “My little Scythe” with her which does an excellent job of teaching the core concepts of the “parent” game, so it wasn’t all new to her). She didn’t come anywhere close to winning, but she had a great time deploying her mechs (first one to get all four deployed, actually), and I got a kick out of watching her love the experience! Incidentally, I’m curious if you guys have played Scythe/My Little Scythe, and what your thoughts are on it. Potential review?
