That Rich Sommer sketch was awesome! Chaz is hitting it outside the park once again! :D

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you very much. I think it's easy to tell that we had a lot of fun putting that together. 😄 -Chaz

[@fishizer]

@@WatchItPlayed How did you manage to set that up anyway? It was great.

[@rafiweiss3915]

That zombie bit was too good! 😂

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks so much! 😀 -Chaz

[@welwitschia]

I like this trend of big games in small boxes. Hopefully more publishers will get on board and focus on offerings other than very large games with tons of bloated stuff

[@morbidtabletopgaming]

I have every single expansion for Dead of Winter and every single promo card except for 2. I do not have Rodney's 2 kids as promos, I would love to complete that collection sometime.

[@WatchItPlayed]

For what it's worth, the Dead Of Winter promos for Andrea and Luke Smith are also available from the little shop we set up for the Rich Sommer and other Watch It Played promos: www.podpledge.com/project/382/The-Watch-It-Played-s-Promo-Store/shop. I hope this helps. Enjoy! -Chaz

[@jacforswear18]

lol, I fully thought this was a joke from a skit in this video, but nope… you can get his kids for your fame 😂

[@jamescartwright1150]

'Looks around for Chaz' whispers to Rodney "there's a new episode of The Climbers"

[@WatchItPlayed]

_Hey waitaminute!_ I will need to start keeping a closer eye on you two. Always up to no good! 🤨 -Chaz

[@henriwhitehead]

Great video! Just received Gest of Robinhood, excited to play it.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Mine has arrived, too! I hope you enjoy it so much that food loses its flavor and colors lose their luster for a week or more in comparison to the sheer awesomeness to playing the game. But, seriously, if that happens, you may want to go to the hospital immediately. -Chaz

[@francopdx]

I'm super stoked to try Arcs (Root has been my favorite game since it came out), excited about the second printing of Earthborne Rangers, and quite curious about Vantage as a fan of open world video games.

[@WatchItPlayed]

All three of those are great picks. I'm also very curious to find out more about Vantage, because it sounds like it could be something a little different. I'm looking forward to more info about it being released. :) -Chaz

Who on earth needs an expansion for Sky Team? I'm still working through the base game modules. Edit: I was happy to find out Rich Sommer is a board gamer. Then I read he started a podcast! Then I saw the last episode was 5 years ago. So many emotions in such a short time.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Yeah, I'm curious to see what an expansion for Sky Team would actually include. (That is, IF an expansion is even real?) And Rich's "Cardboard!" podcast was great! I especially recommend his episode about Uno. It's honestly one of the best episodes of any podcast I've ever heard. His genuine enthusiasm for the game shines through and is really enjoyable. -Chaz

[@DenisRyan]

Good morning! We got Sands in my friendly local game store and given the weight of that relatively small box, I'm pretty sure it's just a box of sand.

[@WatchItPlayed]

I know! I saw it at my local game store last week, and when I picked it up, I had the same reaction. That little box has some heft! -Chaz

[@rafiweiss3915]

@@WatchItPlayed That's the Devir effect! Some folks don't like how their games don't fit well back into the box, but honestly, I view that as part of the game experience! I love creatively fitting games back into their boxes. And it feels fantastic to get so much game in a small package and a very respectable price point. ❤Devir

[@rhino451]

Wow, for some reason this video really stands out. I love your content always but this was a great video

[@WatchItPlayed]

Well, thanks for that! I appreciate it. I'm not sure what I did differently this time. Maybe it was my new socks? I'll have to stock up on more of these socks, because I'm pretty sure it was the socks. At least, I hope it was the socks, because I just placed an order for four hundred more pairs. Then again, maybe it wasn't the socks. Hmm. Want to buy some socks? -Chaz

[@beakerkell]

A Gest for Robin just arrived at my door today! So excited to play it. :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

Nice! I hope you get to play it soon, and that you enjoy it when you do. Cheers! -Chaz

[@elainetyger]

I'm really enjoying Forest Shuffle. I tried the alpine expansion on BGA, and may add it one day, but I'm still OK with the base game for now. My favorite games have giant decks of cards like Forest Shuffle does, so Vantage looks quite promising.

[@WatchItPlayed]

It's always nice when a base game feels complete enough that I don't feel it's missing something without an expansion. I'm glad Forest Shuffle is fitting that bill! :) -Chaz

[@NanoBattle]

Released a few weeks ago and proving it to be true 💪

[@Curlyfries237]

Waiting for the metal gear solid board game wish I got the preorder

[@WatchItPlayed]

Cool! I believe it's currently scheduled to arrive in July. I know it's been a while, so hopefully this latest estimate is accurate. Fingers crossed! 🤞 -Chaz

[@TheDavidPhillips]

Um, obviously the card doesn't work...? Was this actually in question? It was clearly provided by the zombies!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Those crafty zombies! That's how they get'cha! 🤔 -Chaz
