mad respect for recording the video in a semi-crowded target.

Honestly, Amazing Video! From root entry videos to this high production quality review of top 10 target game. Your attention to quality and clear enjoyment of what your doing is apparent. A continued like and now as always I will wait for your next video. Good work Sir.

[ryanlohman]

Great video! Glad to see that Azul was on your list. It’s a group favorite for us.

Barnes & Noble would be another cool chain-store to do a board game roundup on. They've got some great exclusives (Dune Imperium) and generally a solid lineup of games.

[JPowell]

Love that you did this. My big issue with your channel has been the disconnect between what you review and what is actually available. I often watch your videos and want to go get games, but finding them isn't actually possible. No matter if I'm late to the game and the kickstarter is over, it's not currently in stock in my area, etc. there just always seems to be a disconnect. This video is a great idea. It would be cool to partner with some local game stores too, especially in KY.

Great video! Definitely the kind that can drawl people into the hobby! Thank you!

[successfulgeek]

Great list and it makes me super happy to see all these games at Target because it is such a great intro for people who don't go to a FLGS yet!

[charlierizor]

I'm glad I saw this video before your review and comparison of Ares Expedition and Terraforming Mars. I went out and bought Ares Expedition last weekend, based on the recommendation here, and I've been loving it.

Happy to see games be more and more accessible, and to mention games to new people I meet (outside of board game gatherings) and have them recognize the names. The hobby is certainly thriving, a lot less "oh you play board games, so like monopoly?" haha

[marcoabrillo]

im sure you got a lot of weird looks man haha appreciate taking one for the team ")

[TheWildernessEnthusiast]

I just so happened to get my copy of Wingspan & PARKS at Target 👍🏻

[Alphanva]

Awesome work Jesse…love the videos…really enjoying your vlogs also lately!

[Quackalope]

Red Rising was also in contention - I could have swapped it with TM :)

[LiveEZR]

Target just came out with a "Goonies" game by funko that's kinda a gateway to D&D style. Definitely recommend, if only for nostalgia sake. Loved every playthrough so far.

[StephenProsserHCC]

Mad respect for listing mancala. We play it a lot. Surprised you didn't select jaws or the lion

Pan Am is fun. Nice video idea, good energy.

[gbdomingo]

I luv there are people strolling at the back.

[tusic]

Very cool video, great idea. Nice call-out to FLGS at the end.

Target has a lot of games in that section these days, and a lot seem to be random IP grabs or silly party gimkcks. It's nice to have a list created by someone that actually knows the games well and can speak to them.

[ekconley]

What a great list idea! It would be interesting to see regional content creators do similar lists, whatever their nationwide chain stores might be. Here in Canada, multiple stores would have to be combined to achieve the selection. There are games I love at Walmart, Toys R Us and London Drugs for instance.

I’ve never seen Wingspan in a big box store before. Heck, even my local target doesn’t have Ares Expedition yet. Id definitely supplement Pandemic on that list. Fantastic introduction to coop games.
