Half the brothers at half the time??! Haha. Congrats Mike!

[yvettelee]

Congratulations to Mike. What a beautiful baby! Great job Nick—thank you for still creating content for us!

[AhJong]

Love this video series - pleased there’s a new addition to the Murph family! Background music is a bit off for this one - some very saucy sax!

[jurds]

Thanks for holding down the fort Nick!!!

[Erril_Ferndal]

I am always happy to see also the cover of the games when talking about the Hotness of the month 😉 By the way: Great idea to talk about Spiel nominates during Murph pic phase 👍

[simonc]

Many congrats to Mike and everyone there on his newest board gaming recruit. Enjoy the paternity break, sir!

[andredavids]

Wow that is insane that Ark Nova, with it size is played the most. Epic!

[rolling.reggie]

Happy to have contributed to more Marvel Champions and Wingspan plays this month haha I really need to try this Ark Nova. I’ve never seen a game get so much hype.

[TheEricBooth]

Freaking Ark Nova. Love it. Actually played two games back to back at game day yesterday.

[daitilus]

Marvel Legendary is a great game! Glad you rediscovered it. For me, it has gotten better over time... realizing just how replayable it is.

[c.w.]

Congratulations to Mike, Karen, Uncle Nick, and the rest of the family! Two Murphs are better than one, but solo Nick is still great.

[CharlesHepburn]

Clarification is needed on the Castles of Burgundy game. Question 1: is this a deluxe version coming out? Question 2: Do a lot of people love Castles of Burgundy? [tongue in cheek]

[bankingonmoney]

Like seeing some love towards marvel legendary, one of my favorites as well. Gets played every month. May favorite play was Plain Indian Wars.

I think Scout originally came out of Germany as Kras Kariert (Amigo). It was republished as Dealt and finally Oink picked it up and tweaked and streamlined the design.
