Congrats on taping from the new studio! The wall looks AWESOME (if a little too bare). Jamie looks so professional in her jacket in front of a sharp undecorated wall. Honestly, can't wait until you warm it up with pictures and board games and it looks more like you guys. ;)
And I have the same sort of luck as you with Draft & Write Records (which I also love)!
I'm slowly getting better at Fromage (and beating Chad more and more!) - but I seem to be getting worse at River of Gold. I won my first few games and have been faaar in last place the last few months playing. :(

[paulsalomon]

Heyyy! Thanks for the Honey Buzz love. You guys rock!

[jaymar]

Agree. Best thing in Arcs is having a huge round. When you pull it off or even when someone else pulls off something crazy for big points.

[LauraCarr-ci]

Thanks for the recommendations, I checked out your channel after Before You Play shouted you out & really enjoyed your video

[bettermoodboardgames]

I LOVE Draft and Write Records...I really think it will be in my top 5 of the year as well! So so good!

[rolling.reggie]

85 games from this year is amazing! I gotta get more of these played each year. I love that your lists are so you and not necessarily followers all the most hyped ones. Usually I align with Jamie’s taste so even though I had a sour experience with Fromage on BGA, this has convinced me to give it another chance!!

[JonTripp]

Great lists, but MAN that's a nicely painted wall. 😁

[JacobPorterLadder]

Played Fromage on BGA and feel in love and went and grabbed a pre-order copy on GN right away. So happy to have it

[mojojojo]

Great list ! I played a lot of solo Ironwood and it is great. Harmonies is just awesome ... Stressful and relaxe os a spot on description of the game.

[JakeJackPot_]

I just picked up Fromage, I am really excited for it!!

[BanterandBoards]

Dune War for Arrakis is one of my favs from 2024!!! Glad to see it on the list! It’s so good!!!!

[benrosset]

Thanks Jamie and Jeff! So glad you both enjoyed Fromage! Let's play on BGA sometime!

[reed]

Fromage is great. Constantly in a game on BGA. Played it once and ended up buying the deluxe version.

[StevenNicholson-xypv]

Pagan was introduced as a new release at GenCon 2024. It does say 2022 on BGG but Capstone said it was new at GenCon.

[hiho]

I happened upon Fromage from a friend, and as soon as I saw the theme and the mechanics, I backed it on Kickstarter. I haven't played it yet, but I look forward to it even more now! Thanks for the list!

[TheRASDEL]

"it's both relaxing and stressfull at the same time" that is the PERFECT way to explain Harmonies 🤣 at home it was a hit as well... it climb to the top of our games like a rocket!... I now need to go check Fromage in BGA!😅

[Karak-Fak]

Great vid! Where was Rock Hard ‘77 on your lists?

[TheMaskedGaymer]

I also can’t stop playing draft and write on bga. And there’s nothing about it that is in any way shape or form ‘my kind of game’ and just still can’t stop.

[georgesosangelis]

No wondrous creatures?! Seemed like you both really enjoyed that game!

[tonymaltbie]

Agreed. Fromage is great. Honeymoon gift to ourselves that we played on days leading up to PAXU. What did it for me was the games within the game. Great lists. Go Bills.
