Are you allowed to discuss things during the game? (A lot of co-ops these days have some kind of limit on communication.)

Mistakes were made 😢 at 00:10 I had forgotten to update the chapter card text, which displays the name of the game from our last video. I’ll try to pay more attention going forward!

We got & played Pandemic during the actual global pandemic, very early in lockdown, before we realized just how bad things would get. On one hand, we thought it was an excellent game, BUT...we never played it again, & culled it after a few years. The theme is just too "real world" & not in a good way. We just couldn't face playing a game about something that killed our neighbors😢 The game design is good, but there's a lot of good co-op games that have themes we like better. (A number of games have borrowed the pandemic system🎉)

Hello, just a couple of mistakes to fix: At 03:04 , the outbreak tracker increases on any outbreak, not just a chain outbreak. At 12:29 , Joana had meant the Scientist player roll (which is the white pawn) not the medic. Thanks 💜

Such a great, approachable game!

I like the progression of the boards; you start with a ship❤️(1), then there's a kraken (2) & the ship is reduced to a raft (3), which then lands on an island (4)!🏝 There's a whole story/journey!😆

This video looks so professional guys! Liking the new style. You deserve so many more views. Keep it up! 😃🙌 Noticed the details at 2:06 with the slight shift in yaw and blur. Very nice 👌

It looks a lot like the "--opolis" series of games from Button Shy! So few cards always make the scoring conditions difficult!

I want to find a good deal on this for our camper. I wouldn't be surprised if this version would replace our full sized copy, it seems nicer to use and track scoring.

I love Voyages! Such a nifty roll-n-write! I haven't yet played all the maps...I need to print out the last two maps!

Looks like a fun little game, reminds me a wee bit of the solo game Crystallo even. Good review!

This is such a well done video. Amazing! I'm a huge fan of Voyages and have played all the official maps. I'm hoping to dive into some of the community made maps at some point. There is also a campaign that is also very enjoyable to go through. One of my favourite print and plays for sure!

I've never actually played Forbidden Island, but have played Forbidden Desert many many times, it's fantastic. Burgle Bros and Flashpoint are other great games with a similar feel. oh, and we have many games we haven't played in our collection for a while, but still love... Another great video, thank you for sharing❤

What level do you play at? I was thinking of pushing the starting level up...then we played a really tough game on the normal level...& we chickened out on increasing the difficulty 🤣

Oh nice, I've played this one! I liked it, I think the first few times you play it does present a decent challenge by trying to make you decide when to save tiles and trying to plan a few turns in advance, and I like that you can adjust the difficulty. But I agree after a few plays it does get a bit dry/you grow out of it. We'll have to try out Pandemic now, thanks!

I hadn't heard of this---thanks for the video of this nifty puzzle game!

* Sorry for the audio quality in this one. We had some technical difficulties where one of the mics failed to pickup into the camera at all. We tried to salvage it the best we could in DaVinci Resolve 🤞

Great video! You've got a lot of really interesting games lined up to play! I'm looking forward to hearing more about them!🎉 Looking forward to hearing what you think of Arnak! We need to get that back to the table!

Thank you so much for mentioning us! You've been so kind to us since we've started, and we really appreciate your continued support!

I thought I was the only one who hadn't played Arnak. Phewwwwwww. 🙂

Feels good to be a good bean 🙌 thank you for the shout out and kind words! Cosy video! ☕️☺️

Thanks for a look at the mini version! We've only recently discovered Azul & this looks like a good travel version!

Ziplock bags to the rescue, as usual.

This looks really good! Is the rulebook on BGA in English? The game may be hard for us in America to get, so BGA may be my best bet 🤞

Great video! I also was not there and, from your list, i'll pick Black Forest too. And the game i'll like to try from SPIEL 2024 is SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence .

Great video with great looking games! Really enjoy the b-roll, animated info, and sound effects. Good job 🙌

Great video! We have Ecosfera but haven't played it yet. We also got Black Forest but that just arrived. We'll have to look at some of these others but you're exchange about Thunder Road made me think Joana would really like Fox Experiment if you haven't played it. Lots of dice rolling goodness! ALSO ALSO we loved Sweden's forests when we were there!

Ecosfera caught my eye...co-op deck building sounds interesting! And I'm tempted by Tea Garden because of the theme!🫖

1:11 Mighty Boards with Rebirth had one of the busiest booths at Essen.

"Because I don't have a group of friends" I feel that so much 😭😂 But all of these games look awesome, great picks!

Very good lists! I'm surprised you didn't include sale prices for games---when I did the $150 challenge I looked for the lowest price😁 A $50 challenge is very hard! I'm glad you did it because so many games are so expensive! Good games, good list!

Fun video! We did something similar but I believe it was a $150 budget. You will enjoy Voyages. I think I like their print and play Waypoints even more. But Voyages is excellent. Also, I don't think I realized there was a light mode v dark mode option on BGA. I'll have to try out dark mode. And Fliptown is excellent! - Jayne

Agreed on all things Postmark Games!

Visiting from Tabletop Express!

Botanik is a favorite of ours! I've played it once on BGA as well as many times with the physical version. There's something very satisfying about playing the physical version. This is a good game for your breakfast games!🥞☕️

"We like to buy games we haven't played yet" - you're really jumping into the hobby with both feet, haha. "We don't drink, or do drugs, so we're good" - yup... although crowdfunding can be addictive! Fika chats are a great idea, looking forward to more!

awwwwww thank you so much for the shout out. Loads of love from Canada to you both! Yes, we were part of the Voices Group on Our Family Plays Games channel too. Love them.

Love getting to hear about your plans, very nice chill video! I just want to say that I'm very impressed with the quality of your videos (and thumbnails!) for how new of a channel you are, your audio and editing are really great! Trying to edit audio also drives me up a wall lol, I definitely have not figured it out yet but your vids always sound good, especially for being outside! The b-roll during review vids etc is great and the consistency in the video details like the info boxes and the title cards are very pleasing. A video suggestion I think would be fun to see, since you said you're hoping to move, would be a before and after of your game collection/storage, from your current place to your new place! Would love to see how people decide to set up their new storage solutions since that's something we'll have to deal with soon as well haha. Or if not about the storage then just a tour of your game collection! I don't have much else to offer besides encouragement, I really enjoy your vids and hope to use you guys as part of our inspiration when we start making board game vids! (My boyfriend and I don't live together yet so it's hard to find time to play games and make videos together.) And I agree about Discord, moderating and all that seems like a lot of work, but I wish you the best of luck when and if you decide to start one. And PS Joana I also sometimes don't drink the last sip of a drink lol, love that you leave those cute authentic moments in the vids. Wishing you all the best and can't wait for the next one! -Elsie

Thank you so much for the shout-out❣️ Another terrific video from you---I always enjoy your videos! Sorry you've had technical difficulties, but the video came out great!🎉

I also backed this one and am looking forward to printing/laminating/playing it very soon! Great review!

I like print and play, roll and write games, but I stopped backing them because I tend forget to print them, or forget that I even have them😆 We have Voyages from Postmark Games & I really liked it, but I think there's 2 maps I still haven't printed and laminated yet!😆 Hope you both feel better soon!

This is on my wishlist! It's been on my list for so long now that I probably should get it!😆 Terrific video!

Thank you for checking out Fliptown and glad you enjoyed it!

Another great video and those chairs look so comfy

Good video! I've been thinking about this game, haven’t decided yet about getting it. I really love the artwork on the deck of cards! I wonder if the deck is available separately 🤔 Thanks for the close look and review!🎉

Cute idea, I'll have to save this video for when I get to move out with my boyfriend! And random side note your accents are very nice 😁

Played this with two friends once, got frustrated when they put a card in a spot that made it impossible to win lol but that's the price you pay when learning am I right 😂

Cute intro haha! Very well made for your first video good job

Board games and breakfast, a match made in cozy heaven! Great list, this is good motivation to finally get Sail to the table (over a nice bowl of oatmeal and coffee).

Great top 10 idea. I love that it's outside. Definitely some great games here. I noticed many were "flip" and writes, which makes sense; quick setup, doesn't take up too much space, easy to play, but loads of fun. Gosh I love the how combo-licious Three Sisters is and Knarr is brilliant. I've never played Regicide. Sky Team is also one I've never played but really want to. I also want to know what "something big" was behind you. If you were here on the west coast of Canada, it could have been a bear or a cougar. Thank you so much for sharing.
