Tom/Roy/etc., since you're taking the time to put timestamps in the show notes, if you also add an entry 0:00 Intro (or whatever word you want) you'll activate a very cool new "chapter" feature that youtube is just starting to roll out. VERY recommended!

Really loving the Secret Life of Board Games segment. Really nice job of highlighting fun things most of us never notice or even know to look for.

The Nights Around a Table Belfort segment was really cool! I love little easter eggs like that.

Thanks Tom! I have been watching a lot of daily chats! Yay Randy and Ellen were in this Board Game Breakfast, glad you kept Lords of Waterdeep!

[deronfreudenthal]

Thanks Tom! The Dice Tower has been a great comfort these last several weeks, especially Board Game Breakfast, Corner to Corner, and the Daily Chats. Love Crowdsurfing too, but I look forward to all y’all’s content. Thanks again to you, your team, and all the contributors! Y’all rock! Praying everyone stays safe.

Really enjoy the Secret Life of Board Games section. :)

Nights Around a Table with the easter eggs in games is so unique and different in the history of contributors to Board Game Breakfast. I really love his segments and will be looking into his channel.

I enjoy light "party" games with others, but play more strategic ones solitaire (due mainly to a lack of interested opponents). Our community's many senior residents are vulnerable to COVID-19, so game night socials were prudently suspended. I look forward to rejoining that group when safe, but will likely continue solitaire gaming as well.

If both people have a copy of the game, Quacks of Quedlinburg has been very successful for me to play with other people over a video call

[ralelunar]

The Roll My Dice app has been a godsend, it's been handy for creating solo variants of almost all my games.

[naomiooooo]

Love the Belfort details. Looking forward to more in this series. :)

Another good episode. My favorite tabletop baseball game is Pursue the Pennant (Dynasty League Baseball). They have an excellent computer app too.

The dude who did Dark Phoenix was the same dude who did the original 2000s version of Xmen 3, which is why the ending is so similar.

Asdruval, I have Dead Stop! Still! The movement is all luck, but it does have some deduction that I always liked as a kid, and I felt torn between stubbornly using the same color til it worked or just going for any on -40. 😆

Tom, I myself had a gaming group too. I have for the last six years when playing on board game arena. I have tried the tabletopia for me that one's kind of hard to see on my phone Won't work on my laptop. I myself have archived my board gaming group that we in person made a new group we're going to be doing live play alongs soon.

27:28 - "Tune in EACH WEEK for your DAILY dose..." lol

[DanielHolding]

@olivereast me and my mate played a handful of duelling games (MTG, Dice masters etc) we just filmed our playmat

[felixfryxell]

I like Randolph's Geister and I'd love to play Dead Stop.

[JosephFlemming]

I wouldn’t get lords of Waterdeep because fam wouldn’t be cool with the theme but I tried it on the app and it’s pretty good. Wanna play more

[Kikefriki]

Day of Future Past is great, one of the best superhero movies ever. Dark Phoenix is an abomination.
