Oh just buy all of it, you know you will anyway.

Great commentary, I am about to paint my Wasp and this really helps.

Thanks. Although, I don't think Splendor or 7 Wonders would be for anyone. They are not playable solo, so for those who want a 1-player option, these wouldn't be good choices.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've just invested in their Christmas offer for the beginner package.

Creepy intro :/

it’s actually the 10/9 card that gets removed, not the 10/1

hey, for playing at 2 to 4, mostly 3, in the most campaign style of way, what do you recommend ? I can't find any information about co-op campaign, and what age of tyranny brings compared to undertow ?

Friday is solo Classic at this point just as Carcassone is multiplayer classic!

I also love solo modes to learn a game👍 Maquis is probably my favorite true solo game and I'm looking forward to Legacy of Yu. I also enjoy solo gaming with roll & writes (Hadrian's Wall & Rolling Realms).

Love your current favorites. Went all in on Final Girl in the most recent KS and absolutely loving the season 1 content, plus the big box is awesome, especially the VCR box for the playmats. Going to definitely check out Bathysphere. Had to back out of the KS for Paperback Adventures but hope to pick it up one day. Just got in my Valeria games. We already got Dice Kingdoms to the table but hoping to give Siege a try next week when I have a week all by myself. Great video!

Looking forward to Final Girl Friday content on Camp Co-op 🏕️ youtube.com/@campcoop

Thank you so much for teaching us Framework and Marvel Dice Throne: Scarlet Witch v. Thor v. Loki v. Spider-Man! (I won both of those games, which was really surprising!) Really appreciated the learn-and-play sessions at PAX!

Just about to invest in TMB and this has been really helpful to stay in budget but get what I really want. Thank you!

I'm leaning towards Undertow only because it doesn't seem like anyone really cares for the base game characters. I mean I never hear anyone say they like them. I see a lot of content creators use Duster and they all rave about Ghilli and Nugget. Undertow includes a campaign mode and I believe it takes up less shelf space. The only downside side I see is it's a bit more difficult to learn. For just $10 more, after adding the 2 characters, it seems like a better bang for the buck. Could you remind me what I'm missing if I take that route?

So well done! Great game too. The art and ability names all lend itself well to this kind of Christmas story.

Wavelength is a great suggestion. It can definitely be a lot of fun, and works well at various group sizes too. One game I've had a ton of fun bringing to family gatherings is *Camel Up*. It has a silly theme, and all kinds of wacky things happen, but there's still enough there for your choices to feel important. It's hilarious watching people's reactions when they've bet it all on a long-shot, only to have it pay off big. Or to watch someone's winnings slip away at the last second when things go awry. What also makes it work well is that each player's turn is only 1 single action, so it goes around the table nice and quick!

Ha! Well done Roberto. Thanks for sharing! 👏🎄

Love the jacket! Will have to give Dice Throne a toss. 😁

This is my favorite thing

This is AMAZING! Happy Christmas!

If you’ve been working the NYRF that long, there’s a chance I saw you at Tuxedo Park a decade ago when my high school friends and I would visit in the summers after we graduated. And, a lot of my gamer pals are also fine artists, so Canvas has really had my eye. 🧑‍🎨

The hero we need! Loved this intro, from the Blood on the Clocktower vendetta’s, Flamecraft cameo, to the 👨‍🍳 💋 that was Alex singing, all around great job!

I like this Devon guy. I bet he’s going places, like Essen. 🛩️ I’ve also heard that this Tabletopper guy has a deranged cadre of cultists who support his quest for justice, but that’s just scandalous slander. We’re free range not deranged. ✨ 😌 ✨

Saving the world one board game at a time!

Seriously though, get me that audio clip of Alex singing...

Part of me wants to hear a full fledged song, and then add piano, cello, drums and bass/electric. Alex has to sing the whole thing though.

A - Can someone please get Devon a mask and a cape? B - Alex singing the theme song at the end was the best thing ever. C - Congrats on joining Boardvengers, Devon!

Dice throne is FUN FIRST, then we see whats the game about.

I would also add that each character has a "complexity" level, and that can make them easier or more difficult to learn for new players. If you're worried about a child or friend having difficulty learning the game, I recommend choosing two lower complexity heroes, and then playing the first game with cards FACE UP above your player board. This removes the element of mystery from the card-play, but it allows you to fully disclose YOUR choices when you're playing, which is very useful for learning, and it also allows you to point out suggestions for their first play-through. I'd also let them know that they don't need to memorize what every status effect does, as you can always read it as you're using it, to make sure you're doing it right. As well, you don't need to memorize the turn order, as you can keep the player-aid near you to remind you what you can do in each part of a turn. This makes the game VERY accessible for younger players, and non-gamers who might love the art, but otherwise worry the game is would go above their heads! Of course, there is deeper strategy that makes the game fun for experienced gamers as well -- I think that's really the beauty of the game. ** One final tip I'd point out to new gamers, is that it is a good habit to look at any status effects you have on your player board every turn, right before you start your turn and also right before you roll defense, if you're being attacked. Some status effects "go off" at this point, but it can also be useful to remember any positive status effects you might be able to use on your turn as well -- good management of your status effects can be the difference between winning and losing!

Such a hilarious story! I have played dice throne 100s and 100s of times, and I have so many crazy stories about games that ended in the most unlikely of ways. One that stands out is when I was first teaching my brother-in-law, I didn't let him win the first two games we played... and the third game, he was the Shadow Thief and I was the Monk, and I ended up just hanging on and on by preventing damage with my Chi tokens, and he ended up going through his entire deck trying to hit me over and over, and then evading my damage in return... we couldn't believe how lucky we were getting on defence, and unlucky we were getting on offence.. and then finally he finished me off with a natural ultimate! We just laughed and laughed at how crazy it was. Very few games I've played have managed to get me SO into the experience and the story of the gameplay itself, wanting to tell people how it all unfolded. Don't get me started on Dice Throne Adventures! :P

What was the game the last girl pick?

Strike!! Definitely the best way to end a night

Not sure if heard it right, is there a possibility of sales on black friday?

I haven’t played Dune Imperium yet! I got Arnak and then learned about the divide between the two.

Lobster rolls are delicious but I think they are overpriced. I’d just rather eat lobster not on a roll.

I love the back and forth :)

Roberto: COMBOSSS!! Meg: COMMMPOSSSST!! #COMPOSTCOMBOS

Loved Meg's excitement for Dice Throne -- my all-time favourite game! I'm so curious to hear about her experience trying out more Dice Throne at Gen Con! As well, I loved the game-choices everyone brought up.. Septima, in particular, has such a great theme and looks so fun! The new Clank sounds interesting with the build-the-dungeon-as-you-go mechanism, and Cora Quest seems like a really great intro game for kids that also sounds fun for adults to play too. Starship Captains was also on my radar, with some really interesting components and mechanics, and the art/theme really drew me in. I love the idea of managing a spaceship. Dice Theme park also sounds interesting! Love the theme and art of Fortify, so I'll have to check that one out!

Great video! Pandemic comes to mind for me, but I was very into Krosmaster Arena back in the day.

Probably Castles of Burgundy. Honorable mentions would be Dominion, 7 Wonders, El Grande, Kingsburg.

I can't wait for PAX Unplugged because this Con FOMO is for real!

Thanks for the lists of things to check out! This will be my first convention and I can't wait to check out all it has to offer!

Where can we buy Professor Meg’s T-shirt? I totally want one!

Meg set a record for most censored expletives in a Boardvengers video, which may stand unchallenged for a very long time! 😄

"GenCon Win Condition..." Haha that's fantastic!

I’m getting ready to go to my first ever convention, PaxWest. I am only able to go 1 day (Sat). Any advice for a complete newbie on what you should do/ see if you only have so much time? Thanks!

It was fun to watch, congratz!

You two are lovely! #seedspreader
