[@joshuag7027]

Star Realms is a fantastic most bang for your dollar kind of game.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Even though we haven’t played it yet - I have a feeling we will agree with this!

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

This is such a great idea for a list! Loved it!

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

My list: New York Zoo Botanik (obviously!) Coup Tournament at Camelot Fake Artist Goes to NY Liberation (from Buttonshy) - total - $97.59

[@FostertheMeeple]

Ohh I think we both consider coup!! Great list!

[@tfpp1]

"Unagi" . . . love the Friends reference. XD

[@FostertheMeeple]

Jamie had to explain this one to me

[@gimpzilla]

I'm not ashamed to say I'd put a Hasbro game on my list. They're like 8$ at my Target. Clue is classic and replayable.

[@FostertheMeeple]

No shame needs to be had! Clue is a great game!

[@CreakyTableGames]

Enjoyed the picks and chemistry. And Star Realms is pretty great, especially at that price.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thank you!!!

[@xeptyon]

You guys (and gals 😛) are already a reliable source of comparison for games, at least in my case. Sometimes (most of the times) you just can't measure a game only by its score on BGG or its popularity. Before I was really structured with games and I wouldn't buy anything that was below a score of 7 and I was really missing out. The most resounding example for me is Drakon, although a classic, it's also criticized and misjudged by many. And nevertheless, I find it to be a great game in its weight. To summarize, even though I feel I'm going a bit off-topic, your recommendations and even the sight of your collection; makes it seem like getting some of those games like a pretty safe bet. You're already on my top 10 channels, so thank you for your hard work.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks so much for the kind words! We definitely have games we avoid, but we are fairly open to everything and have a good time with almost everything haha

[@JakeJackPot_]

I love how Jeff just makes rules as he goes and yet it makes it better some how? Haha

[@FostertheMeeple]

I am forever ad libbing Jake! I make everything up as I go

[@lystic9392]

It's crazy how different our collections are. (The one behind your heads, not the $100 ones.) I don't think you have any of the games on display that I have, except for Brass Birmingham ^_^ And I haven't played that one, yet.

[@bestatstartrek6695]

Fun list. I’ve never played innovation. Possible topic. Your top 5 or 10 favorite games in your collection. Have you ever played arboretum that would be on my list for sure. Highly recommend as an essential game

[@FostertheMeeple]

We haven’t! But it’s come recommended a few times now - will likely get played soon!

[@erikohman2294]

The hands on the Jamie impression was on point. I just noticed that gesture earlier in this video. Jeff wins :D

[@FostertheMeeple]

Haha she had me laughing pretty good

[@jkledis]

Aww at least you have each other - and some games that are doubled up!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Haha Jim you are the king of keeping us grounded ;)

[@kimoro9643]

great lists! this is so hard but fun to do :) here are my picks for $98.62: Elevenses - $14.95 Squire for Hire - $8.95 Klondike Rush - $26.99 Love Letter - $13.99 Spicy - $17.84 Tag City - $9.95 Deck of Cards - $5.95

[@FostertheMeeple]

Great picks!

[@CocoDrawsGames]

Jeff 2 weeks ago wouldn't play a roll and write and now he's hooked. I'm a fan of this reversal.

[@FostertheMeeple]

It’s true. I was completely wrong on Roll n Writes!

[@NewpDoggyDawg]

Such a tough list to make. I'll give it a shot though; (all prices also CDN $) The Crew -$15 Targi $19 Silver & Gold - $18 Hanamikoji - $20 Castles of Burgundy the card game - $15 Timeline -$9 Side note, pondering a move out east in a few years, how's the board game scene? (Strangely, it is something that will come in to play when my wife and I decide where we want to go)

[@FostertheMeeple]

I guess it depends where out east you move to! Halifax has a decent scene, but I can’t really speak to anywhere else! (Ps great game list)

[@NewpDoggyDawg]

@@FostertheMeeple Halifax is a strong contender. Likely a major city, and the donair is pulling me towards Nova Scotia. Hard to get a decent donair in sourthern Ontario.

[@FostertheMeeple]

@@NewpDoggyDawg DONAIR LOVE. Now we are talking. Also, garlic fingers.

[@brycejarrett9211]

I’d like to see a list of things you’d get together for 200. Great video!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Haha maybe we will do that in the future!!! Thanks so much for watching :)

[@codym6376]

As part of Team Jeff, I also agree with his interpretation of the list making scenario. One person had to make a $100 list assuming that is all the games they will have without games coming from the other person. I had also never considered Overboss but my son saw it in the store last week and kept asking to get it because of the cover art. Now with Jamie’s mention I will be looking into it. P.S. Not that it matters but I would have loved a running tally with each game cost adding in the corner. Oh, just came back to finish the video and saw you show the total. I’m surprised Jamie didn’t include a villainous title though. Maybe one of the $12-$16 small boxes. My list would include Raiders of the North Sea $35, Silver and Gold $7, Patchwork $15, and maybe Clank in Space $38.(not sure about Clank, haven’t played but it should be delivered tomorrow.) I might would substitute Clank with Shards of Infinity $15, Deep Sea Adventure $10, and Just One $20 for variety and quantity. Those prices are what I paid when I bought them.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Great list of games!

[@robertmaine5016]

Fun video! I have an idea for a new video for you guys. Now that you have all 4 Silver games (and you can interchange them) I would really enjoy you both drafting your most epic/fun Silver custom decks.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Great minds think alike! You may see some Silver series content / a possible Ultimate 2-player silver deck coming down the pipe sometime soon ;)

[@musicmann692000]

Star Releams is fantastic, I highly recommend picking up Frontiers as your first expansion. It speeds the game up a bit and makes for a little more exciting moments based on the cards.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Ok awesome! Really appreciate the recommendation!

[@jacqueslouw2167]

Yall havent played Star Realms? :O it's one of my favourites! Very cheap too. Hope to get an update once you've played it!

[@FostertheMeeple]

We have now! We had a really great time with it! We need to play it more to really get a full experience but first few plays have been great!

[@inoutsoccer11]

This was a fun exercise! This is what I came up with: Pandemic $22 Aeons End $38 Boss Monster $20 Hero Realms $16 $96 USD

[@FostertheMeeple]

That is a REALLY good list!

[@quibily]

I thiiiiiiink my 100 dollar collection would be... Agricola ($25 on BGG) Roll for the Galaxy($25 on BGG) Fox in the Forest($15) Sushi Go! ($15) The rest would go toward shipping on Agricola and Roll for the Galaxy (maybe a bit optimistic, heh)--and I assume I can get the last two in a store. These are the most diverse games in my collection that I love, so it'd be a great small collection--and I'd play my go-to solo game Mage Knight on Tabletopia (but buy it again as soon as I have the money!)

[@FostertheMeeple]

Great list of games here! We’ve been playing a ton of Sushi Go lately!

[@fludzbehindme]

I am totally addicted to Fort right now. Overboss will also be on my list. But that would be all I can afford. In my town overboss is $60 and Fort is $29.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Those are both great games and big hits around this house! Thanks for sharing!

[@johnathanrhoades7751]

My list: 1. Race for the Galaxy 2. Pax Transhumanity 3. Sushi Go! Party 4. The Crew 5. Coup 6. Star Realms

[@FostertheMeeple]

Awesome list!

[@erikohman2294]

Coup is a great pick for this! I was genuinley surprised at how cheap it was when I bought it.

[@erikohman2294]

Its hard making a list like this. I love magic the gathering, so I think I'll start of with buying the card "blue elemental blast" limited edition from alpha. And.. Well. Thats about 100 canadian dollars so thats my list. I could spend the rest just buying some nice basic islands so I can put my blast in a deck. Cant wait to try out my only game!

[@BoxedMeeples]

Do you remember when Video Responses were a thing on KZbin?! Well, we have done a video of how we would spend £100 If the worse happened and our board games vanished too! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJjVgJaGbdp5rJo (Suitable credit given to you guys of course )

[@FostertheMeeple]

Love this!!!

[@BoxedMeeples]

@@FostertheMeeple we have pretty similar taste it seems !

[@AllYouCanBoard]

Super late on watching this one but loved it for many reasons: 1. Great lists of games and well thought out in terms of pricing and stuff. Didn't expect the stakes to be so high but that escalated quickly. 2. Yet another mention for Silver Bullet... Jeff, do Ted Alspach / Bezier Games have nude photos of you or something? :P Kidding, I might have to delete this comment once I eventually play it, if it's as good as you say it is. 3. Sort of a follow-up to #1 - the constantly changing criteria, mainly due to Jeff (Jamie - is this strictly an on-camera FtM thing or does this happen around the house too? Haha). I could maybe handle losing my games, or losing my friends, or losing the internet, or it being the zombie apocalypse... but ALL at once was an unexpected twist that could only be addressed by buying $100 worth of board games. Love it. 4. The overlap on the lists. One of you should get Hero Realms instead! I've played both quite a bit and personally I like Hero Realms more. It's newer, has better artwork (IMO), feels a little more thematic and satisfying (in Hero Realms you have champions instead of the bases in Star Realms), and I could be wrong about this last part but I think Hero Realms has more variety in the deck of cards. The champions definitely felt more interesting to me but I've also played Hero Realms much more recently. 5. The "no meanies or weanies" policy was a great start, but the "no dinguses" is what really sold me. We have a general shared AYCB Discord account but I've been meaning to make my own personal AYCB one to get in on some board game Discord action, especially since we've been thinking of starting a Discord too. Between the "no dinguses", the awesome Tablenauts crew, and finding out the Sports and Books sections are also bumping, you two can expect to see me there real soon! - Carlo

[@FostertheMeeple]

Hahaha yes, Alspach and Bezier have a LOT of dirt on me. Including nudes. Send help. We are 100 percent like this in person with the changing criteria. It’s likely more me than Jamie but I love asking buddies “hey would you do X thing, and if so how much would it cost me.” Then, I continually change the criteria to make it as obscure and crazy a scenario as I can. Another example of us just giving you all a glimpse into our real life personalities haha. Please please join the discord!!! We’d love to have you be a part of it! - Jeff

[@dultanur]

I thought Jeff would have JotL on his list for sure. I’m guessing you guys tried star realms, how did you like it? It was one of our first games, we still love it.

[@FostertheMeeple]

We really enjoyed Star Realms! Have only played it a couple times but a great little deck builder!

[@J-Wheeler-G]

I would buy them used. That way I can get many more. But seriously one of the best values I've seen is Counterfeiters, it was like $17 and it's a lot of game in the small box.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Haven’t heard of this one!!! Will check it out.

[@malvinafis6907]

Star Realms is great. I am not sure about my picks for 100 $/€. For sure dice and normal playing cards. You forgot crowdfunding and music 😁

[@thenerdgirl1]

Star Realms is an awesome deck builder. It's my favorite deck builder and has ruined all other deck builders for me.

[@FostertheMeeple]

We just played shards of infinity and it gave us major star realms vibes - have you tried it?

[@blueseqperl]

I would have Spirit Island with Branch and Claw and Arboretum. I'm okay with that choice

[@1dunnj]

100cad is roughly 80usd. Betrayal scooby do mystery mansion 23$, pandemic hot zone north America 7$, ultra tiny epic galaxies 12$, mint works 12$, a pack of poker/bridge cards (for party games), and a set of 5 d6 dice (for yahtzee/liars dice). Betrayal at house on the hill is my favorite game and scooby doo version is almost half the cost. I've got a crisis coop, a worker placement, a big management game (in a small box). I'm missing a deckbuilder and a campaign style adventure/dungeon crawls, and a vote on your favorite party game (like apples to apples or c-a-h). I don't like big 4x games. Runners up: coup, forbidden desert/island, dungeon!, exploding kittens, dixit (harmony expansion was cheapest), one deck dungeon, Mint coop

[@FostertheMeeple]

Awesome list!! Really appreciate you sharing, I didn’t even think of adding dice!

[@Tablenauts]

I can’t wait for this… I’m gonna trash your lists so hard. (Kidding

[@FostertheMeeple]

It is to be expected

[@michaeldarling7169]

Well, there's only one solution. I can never go on a walk again. Just hunker down in the middle of my house and hoard my games like Smaug on a mountain of gold. 😄 Oop. NVM. Jamie said the same thing at the end. So much for subverting the premise! 🙄 Fun video guys!

Thanks Michael! Be careful the next time you go for a stroll! ;)

Where do you buy your games?

[@FostertheMeeple]

Usually at our local FLGS here in Halifax (The Boardroom Game Cafe)! Sometimes at Jamie’s hometowns FLGS (Lantzalot Games) in Mahone Bay! However for this list we sourced a bunch of different places and used the lowest we could find!

[@hanng1242]

1. With two copies of Star Realms, you can play with four. You two *do* have friends, right? 😜 2. Wize Wizard Games used to be White Wizard Games. I wouldn't care about the name change, except that I know it happened because they are (or they think their customers are) offended by the word "white." If it weren't so pathetic, it would be racist. Hell, it is *both* pathetic and racist. 3. I don't know if you two are into Cthulhu, but if you are and you like Star Realms, you might want to try Cthulhu Realms. It is more-or-less the same game, except that the latter has only 3 factions and that there are more cross-faction synergies. No expansions, though, unfortunately.
