Great Job Danny and Derek. Great info.

[RedZorn]

Ah, Street Masters. Such a fantastic game!

[MGreenOhTwo]

Thanks for noticing Flicky Spaceships!
One thing about the game overview: you get the resource at the start of the following turn- so your spaceship might not be quite where you left it. ;)

I completely agree about not quitting online games when you’re playing with another person. I’ve had it happen to me a couple of times online and in person and it isn’t very nice at all.

Just a shout out to Gasmer Joe for Board Game Artistry! Thank you for your take on board game art. I think that not enought attention is put into it and your weekly showcase are super nice!

[cptlazyjack]

First time I ever went to Games Expo and I really enjoyed it. I managed to meet both Tom & Zee and take part in the quiz show, which was brilliant fun. Thanks.

[jfeast]

I loved that Flicky Spaceships segment!

Another Ace Board Game Breakfast episode all! Was great to meet you at UKGE on Saturday Tom - Hope you enjoyed the Irn Bru!

[bamabookwyrm]

Do i like Danny & Derek's segment? You bet your bippy! :)

[GunslingerSNP]

Thanks for the glowing review of UKGE18, Tom. As it’s the only con I attend it’s nice to know it compares favourably with the others that you go to. As an attendee, I can confirm that Tom and Zee (and Sam last year when he was able to attend) are a delight to talk with at their stand and are happy to chat when you catch them elsewhere.

@WeGameTogether - Randy & Ellen, glad to have your segment added. We are trying to add 2p games or 4p games that are good at 2 in our house bc our kids will be off at college in a couple years. Keep them coming!

[fantasticfactories]

Woohoo! Thanks for the shout-out about Fantastic Factories, Suzanne!

This week im going to spotlight a newer contributor but one that ive come to really enjoy.
Thank You Jen the Boardgame Librarian for your interesting and unique segment. Ive come to look forward to it as one of my favorite parts of Boardgame Breakfast.
Keep up the Great Work!

PS Does anyone know how "Cardboard Rhino" got her nickname. That perplexes me every week....as im enjoying her wonderful accent.

[cristinagomez]

Love the new "Games just played" section, I really feel identified with that couple :) Keem em' comming!

[LazyNeutrino]

This made me realize that my viewing time of Dice Tower videos has gone down dramatically in the past few weeks. I feel like all those conventions are taking their toll on the production of the type of Dice Tower content I enjoy, like the Top 10s, the Backtalks, the live plays with everyone around and so on. Ehh maybe it's just me.

[shaneannigans]

SOLOMODE GAMES:
Great to see the Sadler Bros!! What a treat to have them on here!

As an old-school video gamer I think I'll get myself a copy of Street Masters too 😊

Oh and I LOVED the exploding dice in WarhammerQuest Adventure Card Game which they designed so I'm keeen!!

[LeeTrifone]

(To Jen the librarian) Thanks for your previous recommendation of The Killer Angels. Your description was compelling so I tried it out even though historical fiction is not my taste. I'm really enjoying the writing. Thank you!

[danielatwood]

Danny and Derek- Just a little correction...

In terms of planetary motion- a rotation is one spin of a planet on its axis (a day, for Mars 24 Hr 39 Min), a revolution is one trip around the sun (a year- for Mars 687 days).

Sorry, the Science teacher in me just came out for a minute.

Keep up the fun content!

[tribalguy]

There is a widespread misunderstanding of what the Kennerspiel award is for. It’s not “the gamer game;” it encompasses all games that are at least slightly too advanced for the typical family to pick up and play.

[MashingP]

Gamer Joe, you should do a segment on Gloom of Kilforth. Incredible artwork in that game.
