Still think it should just be called - THE FLIP SIDE

The problem with changing yourself to please others, especially for just a thumbs up. Is one day you wake up surrounded by people who don't get you or understand you. This is the danger in bending to the opinions of others. You loose yourself; and the people who do get you, will inevitably leave.To yourself be true. The group of people your trying to cater to, are not worth it. Trust me. Be yourself. I vote Throat Punch Lunch. For you Sam. For throat punchy goodness.
From the friend you have never met.
And you may loose, before you get the chance.

Did SAM just say “scared of kids”!?... I have 3. I SO understand with summer break on top of us.😂 Love ya Sam! Oh, BTW... refusing to vote in protest to the name change due to how this is a micro sample of issues that we are fostering as a society.

[BrandonGraham]

I saw a lot of great choices last week. Neither of these options however were one of them.

[AndrewBeane]

Sam's quick reviews of 5 kids games was good - looking forward to the next one.
Great review Tim! I've been thinking of getting a Neoprene mat and you really showed the benefits.
Luke's top 10 had succinct explanations that give you a taste of what the game is all about - nice! An inset picture of each game "in progress" would be helpful.

Glad to see new contributors, Jewels!

Sad. Understand the reasons but like you said, you can't please everyone. If you go Token Punch Lunch, you must have an intro that shows someone violently punching tokens across a room.

[kidcardco]

What's wrong with Throat Punch Lunch? You drink punch, goes down your throat....as does the lunch.

Sad it's changing.

Is that the Spanish Inquisition in the background at 8:26? Man, I wasn't expecting them!

[JoeBesserfan]

Token Punch Lunch. I really enjoy the show. It's my second favorite after Tom's "Look Back". That said, "Appeasement" is a four letter word. Keep up the great work.

[brandogameworks]

How about Punchout Lunch? Still has three syllables like Throat Punch Lunch and punchouts are very relevant to board gaming!

[supark]

Pick your own Politically Correct title Lunch?

[HALOX]

Terraa mystica looks different al of a sudden lol

[kchorst]

Doug, good segment. Does anyone know of game stores where the owners are die-hard board gamers first (in terms of their experience & resume) and maybe dabble in D&D or learn a little Magic enough to sell it? (I'm sure Magic keeps stores afloat so they're not crushed by Amazon board game sales.)

[hypnotoad]

I'm offended by the term "punch" please remove that violent word from both choices, I'm so scared

[jimsmith]

Sam, I hate to say this but I'm trying to get more game-useable content out of this program. I know by your game selections that you're a heavier gamer than either Tom or Zee, but the show isn't really showing it. I'm hoping you get Rob to do a hard core war game segment soon. The show is getting pretty "light" on content. Zee has his "game under the radar", and Breakfast has "Cardboard Rhino" a really substantial segment. I'm sure you can get a "Solomode" games contributor to spice things up a bit. Let's get a bit more "concrete"... you're a guy who fronts TI4, Tannhauser, and Green Plague... I know you can punch this thing up a lot more. Name? I don't really care... but if you're "Punching" "Lunch"... I need more BANG for the show.... just say'in....

[nickvandam]

Nice bicycle! I guess I'll have to try Flamme Rouge

[xabulense]

Really people?!?!? For the most part I watch mature stuff, but I enjoy, appreciate and support all the content on this channel, the fact that is PG never brother me or I didn't even notice most of the time, I understand the decision to be that way, to be more inclusive and more family friendly, but if the audience can't take a lighthearted joke... Thats annoying!!!! There is more violence in any Disney film that in the name of the show, I wonder what type of entertainment those people enjoy. Well I guess token punch lunch fits better for the BG media. (Sad face)

[tropicalpenguin]

As a Tropical Penguin - O.B.V.I.O.U.S.L.Y. it has to be Tropical Punch Lunch ;)

[lorcanawithluke]

Token punching is essential to board gaming so i guess ill vote for that one. Also great segment once again Even Steven! Wish I was in Poland for that expo also! Sweet episode all around.
