Love Dave & Ilka's "The Pitch" segment!! Great job!

[guillermoz]

It’s funny how I can relate to all these segments, funny to watch and looks like everyone is having fun creating these videos.

@Teachers Lounge - I didn't even know about the Fugitive game, and I have Burgle Bros. and love it. I will have to check that one out. I did notice that something is off with your cameras auto-focus. It was hard to watch, but I got through the segment ok. Not sure if it's a setting or if your camera has an issue.

The Pitch! "Normally I'm all for flooping" lol

[rikhavok]

I love the Drama in this episode. Do Brett (11:04) and Dave (25:23) hit close to home for anyone? One was about reducing the game collection and the other was about not adding more to it without reducing somewhere else. I definitely saw the drama here. I feel your pain guys! I want it all!!!!

Loved "The Pitch" segment, sounded real similar to some of my conversations with my wife, hahaha.

Great new segment, Rafa! I definitely think Valley of the Kings is definitely an underrated deckbuilder (I've got Afterlife). There's some great mechanisms that you've highlighted, and it's such a small package. Unfortunately for me it doesn't hit the table much because people see the small box and expect it to play in 20 minutes, whereas it's more like 45...

"..he re-reivie..he re-revie....he looked at it a second time!" LOL

[SharlzG]

Ooo... Valley of the Kings sounds really cool!

😂😂

[spunx]

i'd love to know more about James Ernest's poker/blackjack game.

One good "reduce" game is Power Grid: The Card Game, it has much of the feel of the real thing but in a tiny little deck of cards, any fan of the game should grab it!

For multi use cards, my favourite game is fleet.

[andreribera]

Can we address how using dice to replace the cards for goods in Oh My Goods! changes it dramatically?

[annjourney]

Cats make a great segment ever better. Everyone take notes from the Clueless Boardgamer!

[hoolio]

Lol that Wonderwall guy. More like no wonder at all.

[frabac]

Could not teacher's lounge: the struggle for the camera to get the focus gave me sea sickness. What about filming with a background which is uniform in distance next time? Sorry

[wreman]

Zee, is that an otter next to the gong?
