Trogdor was a man. I mean, he was a dragon man! Er, maybe he was just a dragon! Um, but he was still TROGDOR! TROGDOR! Burninating the countryside, burninating the peasants!.....nostalgia!...Cannot except an dragon without an beefy arm🤣

As a family man myself, I appreciate good kids game suggestions. One game for younger kids I recommend is Slappy Camper. Polyomino game mixed with visual matching and reaction speed. Card comes up, first to find the item packs it into their R/V. First to fill the R/V wins.

Every so often my brother and I have a board game night with his 10 year old daughter. My niece likes a bunch of games but we've played certain ones more than others of course. Star Trek Panic is a great co op game she likes since we've been showing her the original Trek series. Boss Monster and Exploding Kittens are card games she likes. And she's gotten quite good at Othello. But we'll even play more advanced stuff like Runebound and Descent. Haven't quite built up to more advanced stuff like Star Trek Frontiers yet. Lol.

I remember you saying that your kids did not want to get rid of Isle of Cats in a previous video. Did they play the regular or family version ? How do they compare it to Barenpark ? Your previous criticism of Isle of Cats seemed only for the drafting. Wondering if Isle of cats family version is somewhat similar to Barenpark in terms of weight and gameplay with kids.

Thanks for the recommendations Alex. In a different video, you showed us your crokinole board. Is your family no longer playing? The reason I ask is I’m interested in buying and wondering if the cost is worth it given replay ability and longevity. You mentioned the company you bought your board from, can you remind us what company that was? Finally, I’m also considering Flick of Faith as a substitute. You may not have played that yet based on your comments on Quackalope’s video. But hypothetically, if you didn’t own any flicking game, which one would you buy, crokinole or flick of faith? Many thanks

non related to the video, but how do you control that OCD when your kids want to play with board game miniatures from your games?

First: if you had to think about the actual age of your baby, it must have been very recent, so happy birthday to your baby. But my main question is the following (and if you could go into more detail, maybe in a future video, I would be much obliged): How do you and your wife find the time to play games with a baby around? My first child is not quite one year old yet, and my wife and I have not found the time to play a game in weeks. And even then, my wife has to carry the baby in a breast-pouch for half the game. So if you have some hot tips, I would be very grateful, since we both would love to be able to play some more games.
