I have an idea for a pairing. We play euchre, and Aunt Vicki drinks whatever she wants. 💛💛💛🦜

Excited to see y’all this week at the retreat. Maybe we can play one of these!

Remember yall from last year, thank you for the whiskey, a great event! And you need anyone to teach you Carnegie (or hegemony but that’s a bigger task) let me know!

It’ll be good to see you again. Can’t wait!

@tracystack9679 Ай бұрын

My boyfriend and I will be there! We would love to join in to learn/play Donut Shop, Rock Hard, Carnegie, Skyrise and maybe a few others as well. Or a cocktail later as well LOL

Carrie says DT is exactly about drinking 🤣

@boardsandbottles 29 күн бұрын

Cheers to that! However, Dan and I have definitely spent more time learning rules than thinking about which whiskies to bring…

A great run down. Plenty of distilleries I've never heard of, which is always a good sign.

@boardsandbottles Ай бұрын

We love the hidden gems and value buys. Everyone can find Glenlivet or Macallan 12 year; but loving whisky can also be about trying new ones and pushing your palate. Tried anything lately you'd recommend?

Thanks for the video. I regularly play with the same group and would love to plan a gaming weekend with them and your video pointed out things to keep in mind when planning. I also love the concept of your posts....pairing games with drinks is a great idea.

Thanks for reaching out. Having a game weekend takes Game Group to the next level. If you play together routinely, then you've already got inside jokes; but a game weekend creates more lasting common experiences. It's a great way to shed your day-to-day and get lost in the fun. Please let us know how it goes, even if it doesn't happen for a while. Any suggestions we can offer, we would be happy to provide. Cheers!

Thanks for watching! The Feis Ile releases are so good. If you are into Scotch at all, you should definitely give one a try. And, if you've already tried one, which one was it? We'd love to hear more!

Thanks for checking out Wyrmspan and sharing your thoughts! I'm the spouse of Connie (the designer), and she's thankful that people are enjoying her game!

Amazing of you to reach out! Hopefully you saw Episode 23 on Apiary, one of my new favorite games. I am waiting with anticipation for it's 2nd printing in July. Please share our gratitude for her work. We can't wait to hear what she's up to next.

Awesome feedback on the sound. We are hoping to get lavalier mics at some point. Then we’ll be too fancy to know what to do with ourselves!

Thanks for letting me know they are unpainted 🤣🥃. Good episode guys.

One day I’m going to show off a fully painted game on one of these episodes and you’re going to be blown away. I just gotta go out and buy some paint, and some brushes, some talent, and stuff. One day, Rod…

This game rewards repeated play. If you're not willing or able to play it repeatedly, then it's probably not for you. The same can be said for any number of excellent nuanced games that reveal themselves over time and exploration. Also, there's only one rulebook, the Reference Manual. Any question you have should be answered in the Reference Manual or in game.

@boardsandbottles 8 ай бұрын

Thank you for the feedback. Looks like we’ll have to give it another whirl. Very true about nuanced games. Usually I dream about games like that and feel the urge to play them again. Lots of moving parts in Stationfall and confounding moments. Cheers!

@Dan-uh3hl 6 ай бұрын

I definitely did not enjoy the game enough that I think it warrants repeated plays. But each to their own. My copy came with three rulebooks - Launch Manual, Reference Manual, and Character Dossier. Call them what you like....they're rulebooks. None of them are intuitive.

@Andy-Mesa 6 ай бұрын

That's entirely up to you. I've played games multiple times that I ended up not enjoying, and others that I hated on initial plays but ended up loving. The fact remains, this game objectively gets better the more you play it. Launch Manual is a scripted playthough, and Character Dossiers just repeats the same information found on the cards. Neither of these are rulebooks and you could throw them away without losing anything necessary.

Great review :) Thanks, guys. I appreciate the list at the end. The Found North that Dan talked about is calling to me. Happy New Year!

@danharris3594 8 ай бұрын

Thanks Liz! That Found North is so good! I’ve gotten a few more different bottles from them and they are all top notch! Next time we see you guys I’ll bring some to share. Hope you had a great new years, and cheers to an awesome 2024!

@forensiclinguistics 9 ай бұрын

Merry Christmas! Since your lists overlapped so much, I wonder which others you would include if you had to come up with a different one every time the other had already mentioned yours. :)

@boardsandbottles 9 ай бұрын

This is definitely the downside of gaming so much together and liking similar types of games. Perhaps we will compare lists beforehand, although that might remove some of the spontaneity. Food for thought, for sure. Great feedback!

Merry Christmas, Gentlemen! It’s been a pleasure watching your journey. I may or may not have purchased a game due to this channel. All the best for 2024.

@jennykinas3023 11 ай бұрын

Great costume Alex! Great video too! The Quacks of Quedlinburg sounds very fun. I collect antique bottles that contained "remedies" that were peddled by charlatans... Such as Dr. Kilmer's Swamp root kidney cure! The list of ingredients in it are probably the same as the tokens in that game. Haha! Another great drink is apple cider and caramel vodka. Yum!

@boardsandbottles 9 ай бұрын

Apple Cider and Caramel vodka sounds like quite a recipe. One that I might just have to try...

Death may Die. One of my absolute favorite games. So simple and deep all at once. Love it!!!

@danharris3594 11 ай бұрын

Love it also! For me it’s my #1 Cthulhu game!

@dischound 11 ай бұрын

We love Quacks; it’s truly a modern classic. 100% agree with Rod on how much fun Death May Die is. Keep the videos coming, guys, and watch the table, Dan!

Oh Bradley, you still need to be schooled in Golf. The Ryder Cup and the Presidents Cup are two separate entities. The Ryder Cup is held every 2 years, but it alternates being held in Europe and in the USA. This year the Ryder Cup was held in Rome, Italy. Two years from now it will be held in USA, at Bethpage Black, NY. The difference between the 2 events is that Ryder Cup is the US vs. Europe, and the Presidents Cup is the USA vs. an International Team comprised of every international country EXCEPT Europe. The Ryder Cup came first and is the original. It used to be Ryder Cup held in even numbers years and Presidents Cup in odd, but that got thrown off with the COVID pandemic, which is why we now get Ryder Cup in odd years.
