2024 Board Game Year in Review | Surprise Games, Stats, Kickstarter & More!

[@libbygutt9086]

I love how openly supportive you are of each other in mental health and otherwise. You guys are great! Looking forward to another year of Foster the Meeple!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks!! 💜

[@dennisrussell3040]

Unsolicited feedback: Thank you for the content. I really enjoy your style, like hanging out with friends. Who ever came up with “Board games and board gamey things” is a genius, I giggle quite often. Stay strong and Happy New Year.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks so much!!! Happy new year!

[@AmeepleFamily]

You both are seriously amazing! I had my first panic attack when my daughter was sick almost two years ago now. She lost her ability to speak, walk, and see (eventually swallow) and my anxiety reached levels I didn’t know possible- I always struggled with anxiety but never had anything that bad. My arms curled up and went numb- I felt like I lost total control of my body it was so scary. Ended up in the ER for help to get my body calmed down again. Very scary. Jeff appreciate your words- you really never know what others are walking through! I don’t miss a video you put out but watch on our family account with the kiddos - we are huge fans and your content brings us so much joy! Thank you! Believing for a great 2025 for you both- you deserve it!! 🎉❤

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thank you for the kind words!! We really appreciate you and all your support!!

[@peterblack_]

Wishing you both the best mental health year in 2025.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks!!

[@BoardExplored]

Wishing you guys an anxiety free year or at the very least a year in which anxiety is managed successfully and all HP still in tact. I had my own mental health crash in January 2022 and finally asked the doctors for help. I am now heading into the new year having reduced meds significantly with the hope of being off them in Feb! That may be tmi, but I feel your pain completely! You guys are fantastic and I'm so glad you guys are here!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Totally not TMI! That's a great journey!!

[@ryanlohman4922]

Jeff I appreciate your vulnerability. I went through a similar situation in 2024 and had to be put on some medication. Here’s to a great 2025 of gaming!

[@FostertheMeeple]

💜

[@paburrows]

You guys are awesome, I love how Jamie is peppy and joyful and how Jeff is more serious and how the 2 of your personalities play off each other. It's one of the reasons why you're the only KZbin page that I follow to be in the know on board games. Also if you guys recommend a game, I tend to follow it. Your awesome, thanks for all you do!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks so much for the kind words!!

[@jacobdawes6405]

Thanks for a great year and cant wait for more amazing content next year! I started watching a couple years ago and i love the positivity and sincerity you both bring to the board gaming space!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thank youuuu!!

[@JonTripp115]

The first thing my Dad told my brother and me when we were getting our first jobs: When youre dealing with the public, out of 100 customers 99 will be normal or great, and 1 will be a jerk. And the one you'll probably remember is the jerk. After 100 days, you've met 100 jerks, and it's easy to think that everyone is a jerk, because that's all you remember. The trick is to remember the 9900 other people who appreciate you. P.S. the lighting looks better today. The wall looks more purpley, not as dark as last time. Keep on improving the space, you're doing great! 💜

[@FostertheMeeple]

That is SUCH a good analogy and so true!! Thanks Jon!!

[@twozsinapod]

I found your channel a few years ago now and at this point it's the only board gamey channel I consistently watch. You've introduced me to many great games I might not have noticed otherwise and provide something cozy to watch when I'm having a rough day. Your Discord is also one of the most positive, supportive, and enjoyable places to hang out! Wishing you all the best in 2025 and I can't wait to see what's in store as you fully settle into the new studio! Jamie, I understand about the desire to always be "productive" and dealing with guilt and boundaries as I also work online running my own business. As excited as I am to see where FTM goes and grows, I hope you do take time to actively rest and set boundaries around work and thinky things.

[@travisadork]

I appreciate you both sharing so much of yourselves, including your mental health. I am excited for your plans for the new year and look forward to following along. Thank you for being rock stars!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thank YOU for being awesome :)

[@rolling.reggie]

Love all the detail in the video. You guys truly are some of the best in the biz. Keep it up! 2025 is going to be the year. Also, 652 physical plays is incredible-I have 537 total including any digital real-time games. What a year!

[@FostertheMeeple]

💜💜💜💜💜

[@ameritrashtalk36]

Happy New Year to you both! Thank you for a year of laughs and great content, and I wish you the best as you move forward with plans and changes. My favorite game of 2024 was Wild Gardens. It was a good year; I changed the way I handled my content creation in my IG page, met some friends from IG at a local con, taught tons of games to young people, donated to my school library making it the first library in our school district to have board games that kids can check out (I'm a teacher), and started a BG Journal that I love.❤ Again thank you, and here's to a great 2025 🎉

[@FostertheMeeple]

We just played Wild Gardens the other day!! Hope you have a great year!!

[@theakswat]

100% agree my favorite video was the love letter to board gaming. I know you aren't asking for it but your content helps me with my own mental health wellness and I hope you both continue to feel better it's an everyday adventure and at times battle. Keep it up!

[@MarinaS341]

20:20 feel your pain about the guilt Jamie 💕 constant struggle! Hope you are able to have a relaxing 2025 in your off hours 🥰

[@TinaWerden]

I'm so glad you took a moment to enlighten and educate those who feel free to comment on ANYONE else's life. Good for you. Wish you both all the best! ❤️

[@FostertheMeeple]

💜💜💜

[@dabruuzer]

You guys are the best. I can't express how much you mean to me. Thanks for this channel, and for being yourselves.

[@FostertheMeeple]

💜 we've very happy you're part of our community!!

[@colintebooij]

I just wanted to say, as a person who sturggles with mental heath and has been since very young, I love the way you stand up for yourself and be so open and honest about it. I love love love your videos. I always watch them when I need some fun and relaxation and your videos feel like I'm hanging out with friends. Please be true like to who you are because you two are amazing! ❤

[@gurnblanston2848]

I had a few struggles in 2024 as well, so my wish for you both is that 2025 is a year of self-care first and foremost, and that the challenges you faced this past year are firmly in the rearview mirror. Love you both, and I'm looking forward to seeing you at LevelUp! I hope we get to play a game or two, but either way, just seeing you again will be awesome!

[@efout89]

My favorite moment of the year was going to PAX for the first time and getting to meet you guys at the meet up! Being a part of the FTM community has been such an amazing addition to our lives and we look forward to seeing the channel continue to grow!

[@FostertheMeeple]

We love having you in our community!!!! 💜

[@timboslice9299]

Enjoyed the razzing banter with the Tablenauts crew over Get Bit 😂 and enjoyed seeing one of your Disney world vacation pics that you guys looked so happy in! Happy New Year and here’s to a great 2025 filled with more board games! 💙

[@FostertheMeeple]

Happy new year to you too!!!

[@Nameless_Adventurer]

Awesome video! Sounds like you are both making good decisions for yourselves. Here's to an amazing 2025!

[@stevenamamoto585]

Best wishes to you for a wonderful 2025. Jamie, time spent taking care of you is productive time.

[@FostertheMeeple]

I think you might just be right!

[@AeronwyD]

Happy New Years! Loved the stats list. And very glad to hear that the vast majority of the comments you guys get are positive ones. You're such a pleasure to watch and I love the variety of videos you share. (Yours was the first gaming Discord I joined, because I enjoyed the vibes you two give so much.) I have a STRONG suspicion the Kickstarter was as successful as it was BECAUSE of all the things we get to force Jeff to do! 😇 I love the idea of PNP stuff as a KS reward. I have the original Queen by Midnight and it's a great game. Really need to get it to the table again - and then maybe I can "justify" getting this stand-alone expansion. :) And I was exhausted just listening to everything you guys have done in a single year! Hoping 2025 is a fantastic year for you! 2024 was a good year for me - I stumbled into the whole board game addiction / community. :)

[@FostertheMeeple]

We're so happy to have you in our community!!

[@Ineedyourloveforever]

"I've never seen a man eat so much cereal in my life" - Jeff. Laughed out loud at that one. Really loved the video, looking forward to more boardgames and boardgamey things in 2025!

[@botanyandboard]

Happy New Year you two!!! 🤗 Love love your channel. My favorite part of your channel is just listening to the two of you banter. I laugh out loud every single episode. Can't wait to see what Jamie has in store now that she is full time FTM! 🎉 Not that she needs to do anymore your guys channel is already STACKED with so much good content 💚 Also omg Jamie HARD relate! If I'm not being productive I feel sooo much guilt. I think I got to the point where I'm like man I wasted all my free time doing x and then somehow I turned that into I try to do something productive all the time... Yet I also always feel behind as a result because I overfill my plate...So a goal for me as well to retire some thinking! 😅 I saw another person on booktube I watch say she wants to live slower and I'm like I think I need that mantra. Anyways love your channel and your twos personalities so so much. Also thank you for the KS Christmas card, the picture it made us laugh. Happy 2025 🤗 Baley

[@FostertheMeeple]

Heyyyy! Happy New year to you too! I'm glad someone can relate with me, I would love to live a slower life but I don't even know where to start!! Love your channel as well, excited to see you keep going into the new year!!

[@MarinaS341]

30:48 yes for exclusive merch on a kickstarter 😊

[@cry-wolf-games]

Sorry to hear about all those comments you guys have been getting. I love your channel and I'm loving the new studio. Keep up the great work, and I love you honest feedback and I hope 2025 is a better year for us all. Thank you!

[@FostertheMeeple]

💜

[@KellyLees-wl3im]

Happy New Year! Thank you for the videos throughout the year.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks for watching!!

[@BoardGameOfficer]

So an idea to get past the copyright of songs is to do shorts. KZbin shorts have different copyright rules and you can use songs without getting a copyright strike. Also, as a content creator myself, I definitely understand that sometimes it is REALLY hard to get past some negative comments! You guys are awesome, I enjoy watching your videos!!

[@annerobertz4712]

I'm very thankful that Jamie talked about A Gentle Rain. This game is helping me unwined and calm down son much. So thank you very much for that, mainly, and all the rest, also ❤

[@FostertheMeeple]

💕

[@cafe_et_cie]

You guys were my best discovery of 2024 !! Can’t wait to see all you will accomplish in 2025 ! 🤍

[@FostertheMeeple]

💜

[@heatherdash5815]

I have a feeling that 2025 will be a great year! 🎉🎉 2024 has been a full year with a lot on my plate and parallel with Jamie I too have made a change in jobs to help with my mental health. Thank you for being a part of my self care 😊

[@jdesigns3713]

I adore your videos. This past year was pretty rough on the mental health side of things, and your videos provided a nice break. I love the support you guys have for each other and can't wait for more content. 💗

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks so much for watching and for your support! Hope 2025 treats you well!!

[@boardtoplay]

Love how real and open y’all are as content creators! You’re awesome and so is your content! Keep on slaying it!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thank youuuu!

[@mighty_mac]

Thanks for another year of content, y’all! Thoughts and prayers to you both as you continue to work through the struggles of life. Looking forward to the new kitted out studio! Happy New Year!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Happy new year!!!

[@galanu]

Thank you for your videos this year. It is always great to see other Canadians enjoying boardgames. Looking forward to 2025!!

[@c.w.2000]

Happy New Year from the other Coast of Canada (Vancouver Island)! It's nice to see you make decisions for your health and support each other. People don't really know when they take a leap where they will land, but if you do things for the right reasons and put your heart into it, then it is the right decision. I wish you good health and good fortune in 2025.

[@MattLovesCheese]

Hey Jeff and Jamie! I watch a lot of youtube and I rarely ever comment on videos, but I really just wanted to say thank you so much for your videos; your channel is my favourite board game channel and you guys always brighten my day. ❤

[@andeeheartsbooks7447]

Love your videos, love you two together. Looking forward to 2025 gaming and more in your new studio!❤

[@Ready2RollGamers]

Love your channel and can't wait to see what ya'll do in 2025!

Love you Jeff and Jamie ❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you for being such a continued positive space!!

[@FostertheMeeple]

💜💜💜

[@shannonsweeley237]

"That" person is rude! I'm sorry you even have to be on that medication. I have been there with the anxiety attacks and they turned my world upside down for years. I always thought you seeming like you don't want to be there was part of your guys shtick. Don't feed the trolls though, you guys are awesome and have gotten me so deep into this hobby, I am so grateful, as this hobby has reunited family and friends time and really is allowing me to work on my social life as that can go by the wayside with life, work, kids, etc. P.S. You guys are the BEST! Both of you!

[@ChristinaHeber-f6b]

I love how supportive you are of one another. The lights look great. Love you guys~! Keep on rocking.

[@FostertheMeeple]

💜

[@teaNgames]

Wow, ya'll had quite a year! I have such a poor time sense that I hadn't really put it all together in my head that so much was last year! Love your videos & looking forward to you both having a great 2025🎉

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks!!! 💜

[@jamessmith1274]

This video makes me so happy for the both of you outside of the board game world! Jamie's art and your book! Love you both so much!

[@FostertheMeeple]

💜💜💜 Thanks for being awesome!

[@questforchips]

Success will always bring haters. You two are great! Glad I get to see your videos pop-up often! Cheers to a great 2025!

[@craigandrews7544]

@11:11 power to you brother.

[@simonairey8982]

I hope 2025 brings better mental health for you both. Love you Jeff and the Retro games streams are always a highlight. Cant wait for more when you have the time and are feeling up to it. I hope we see changes to the you tube algorithm soon. It sucks that creative videos don't get the recognition they deserve. Love the seasonal videos and the more unique stuff. I will always watch whatever you put out. Looking forward to what you put out this year. Pumped for the next marathon, KAY!

[@VetroA90]

Happy New Year! I hope and pray that 2025 brings you joy as you bring joy through your show. Love watching the both of you. You can see the love and care you have for one another which is why I keep watching. And the love of games lol. Praying for you both and thank you for what you do! It is appreciated ❤️

[@FostertheMeeple]

Happy new year!!

[@aprilspilker9867]

Hey you two. Just want you to know that I appreciate what you do and what it does for me. I suffer from mental illness, and find that your content helps keep me grounded. Forget the trolls.

[@aliglidden6708]

Love watching you both and cannot wait to see some more vlog videos on the new space. It is looking so great! Thank you for all you do! Happy New Year! Keep taking care of and looking out for each other. ❤️

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks for watching!!! :)

[@johncurley7015]

I loved the video and really appreciate how open you both are on mental health. For every person that gets upset there are 100 that are gaining joy from what you do ❤

[@FostertheMeeple]

so true!! 💜

[@Roxas77]

Happy New Years FTM! I'm so happy to see you both still spreading joy and smiles to everyone. Since I lost my dad last year, 2025 means a lot to me in terms of optimism and moving forward with pride, so I hope it's an amazing year for all of us!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Sending lots of love and good vibes for 2025!

[@2006louisb]

I'm really glad this video popped up for me today - I've been on the periphery as a subscriber for a while, but I listened to this video while grocery shopping and (exciting context not withstanding) I'm actually almost glad (sorry!) for 'that' comment as it really helped me pinpoint exactly what I love about your channel - the dynamic between Jamie's high energy, bouncy approach and Jeff's dry input. I don't think I'm the only one who sometimes feels more Jamie, and sometimes feels more Jeff, and that's precisely what makes every video so engaging; each of you speaks to a different part of my hobby brain, and the interplay is what makes all of this so enjoyable in the first place. Thank you to both of you for your openness and respective approaches to what you do - easy late pledge!

[@FostertheMeeple]

I love this comment because I think you nailed the essence of us!! 💜

[@ryanl5052]

Newbie to the board game world here. I just wanted to share that I've been loving your content - its all super helpful, engaging, and exactly what I've needed. It all has me even more excited to dive in with my husband! Also just got that same Disney spirit jersey for Christmas 😅 Cheers to a happy and successful 2025 ❤🎉

[@lauramorgan8039]

I love your channel and content. 2024 was a rough mental health year for me, too, and your videos helped me a lot. So appreciate the effort, kindness, and transparency you both put into Foster the Meeple.💙

[@FostertheMeeple]

Hope 2025 is a better year for all of us! 💜

[@Geeky_Anja]

I wish you two an amazing 2025! 💜

[@FostertheMeeple]

Right back at ya!

[@honestlykayla8249]

You are both amazing! Wishing you all the best in 2025. I love that you are placing boundaries for yourself to continue to foster the meeple 😉 and be able to make this sustainable for you both in a healthy way.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Happy new year to youuu!! 💜

[@SWINGSHOT64]

My Wife and I found y'all this year (2024) on KZbin. We watch y'all's videos together and have bought games based on recommendations and Play through. We love y'all. Villainous, Dice Throne, Flamecraft and Overboss are our favorites. Keep up the awesome work! Maybe one day we will meet y'all

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks so much for watching!!!! Hopefully someday we'll be at the same con and can say hellllo!

[@PaulRichardson_Canada]

Life its always like a roller coaster ride. Luv you guys.

[@FostertheMeeple]

soooo true!! 💜

[@danielangevine1346]

fellow east coaster here - always happy to see folks from home doing well. Good work on ya for the last year - mental health is a hell of a thing to wrangle, especially when your hobby & work & personal are so intertwined. Wishing you both all the best for 2025! new space looks like it has some good lighting, can't wait to see the new content :)

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks so much!! Hope you have a fantastic 2025!!!

[@Clasher-ci3hr]

I will never understand negative comments. I mean I guess some people think they are helping? Absolutely love you guys and always look forward to all the content you put out! And please keep up the “little bit extra” at the end of the videos. It doesn’t outshine the video itself but it is always a fun tasty treat to end a video with!

[@linettem]

I love seeing your content and you guys. I appreciate all the work you put on your videos❤ and hope 2025 its your b3st year yet!! Health and happiness to you! 🍻 cheers!!🎉

[@FostertheMeeple]

Hope you have an amazing year too!!

[@ascalhoon]

I first want to say that I think both of you are awesome. I find it very brave the way you are able to talk about your mental health so openly and honestly. I struggle with similar things and I understand the medication making you seem less than excited. I get some similar feedback at my job. People saying that I don't seem happy, even though I'm in the best headspace I've ever been in. Please keep up the great work..... And I would be interested in some exclusive merch on the next Kickstarter 😊

[@iamirenetoo]

All I'm gonna say is, I love your channel, I love you both. Your videos always make my day better! Thank you for being in my life ❤

[@FostertheMeeple]

We are so happy to have you in our community!!

[@coyotemoon722]

Been suffering with GAD for a long time. Sorry you're dealing with mental health issues. It's a tough road. I've really enjoyed all of your content. Here's to a fun but chill 2025!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Hope you have a great new year!

[@Piratejolan]

I think it is very important you guys keep talking about mental health and the way some mean comments impact your mental health. Keep up the great work and I am supporting you guys and your way of thinking about this important topic. You guys are great and I love your content! 😍

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks for your support!!!

A solid rule is, if you wouldn’t say it in person, don’t type it either. I don’t understand people. Keep up the good work!

Unfortunately, that is a lost art to the current generations.

[@bena5401]

Long time viewer, first time commenter. Thanks for the content as always and much respect for opening up with so much vulnerability. Cheers to your 2025, hoping for a great year!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Happy new year!!!

[@srebme2]

I hear you about having a hard time relaxing. I was raised by two incredibly hard working parents that had a crazy work ethic. It served them really well but one of the consequences is the guilt I feel if I’m not being productive. It’s something my spouse comments on often and a constant battle for me. Please share if you find something that works for you, Jamie! See you at Level Up!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Oh I will!! See you soon!

[@Iwannarockey]

You guys are great! Love all your videos and listening to what you have to say 😊

[@FostertheMeeple]

💜

[@I_am_McSquizzy]

you two have been the perfect duo for me to watch for way more than just board game stuff. I am by no means a serious board game collector or anything, but have slowly been acquiring some and it's just a different kind of reward when you sit down at a table and play board games with others, or even solo. Thank you both for the great content, transparency, and overall honesty of how content creation life is. Jamie, thank you for all the statistics btw :) and Jeff, do you see yourself getting a higher number of plays on a single game in 2025---compared to Res Arcana?

[@j3errym]

Happy New Year all.

[@Dmoon1234]

Frankly I’m looking for better days ahead. It will be interesting to hear what you all have planned this year. Also would love to see Paint and drawing videos. You guys are so lucky to have that talent.

[@FostertheMeeple]

I hope to do some studio vlogs on our other channel which will highlight more art stuff!!

[@Dmoon1234]

@ That would be wonderful. Thank you.

[@2006louisb]

What do you mean?

[@middleclassjoe]

I just wanna say I love you guys and wish you the best year in 2025. Hugs to both of you. You’re the best.

[@markhopper3895]

Hi Jamie, the lights in this episode were better/softer. Full disclosure, I know nothing about lighting, but it was noticeably more diffused and balanced.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thank you! That’s super helpful (I also barely know anything about lighting 😆)

[@josianeouellet2632]

I just love you guys! 💙

[@FostertheMeeple]

and we just love youuuu!

[@jessismith]

@Jeff, so sorry you even needed to make that statement. At the end of the day the only people who needs to be comfortable with your behaviour are you and Jamie. It’s got nothing to do with anyone else. You guys do so much, and give so much! And we appreciate the heck out of both of you!!

[@jeffbrantz6620]

I LOVE you two!! If you run a new kickstarter, I would totally buy a Bidjaa Jeff tshirt or print. You're a great artist, scibble up one of those bad boys :)

[@jamesbrazeal3847]

Unsolicited Comment: We love you Jeff and Jamie. Also Thanks for the games of Crib on BGA Jeff. 😊

Always a good time!! :)

I just want to hang out at your house. You two make my Big Sister vibes tingle. 😂 🥰

Seems like you take good care of Jamie and she of you too. Jamie is so creative I’m glad she’s taking off on her own. ❤

[@FostertheMeeple]

💜

[@garytheosophilus]

Thank you for your honesty since you don’t owe anything to strangers. I appreciate the frankness and the courage/strength to speak out. Also happy the meds are helping ❤ Unfortunately … it’s the internet. Maybe entrust someone you know to moderate YT comments?

[@FostertheMeeple]

It has shifted over to me (Jamie) they affect me much less!

[@dustinsharp8645]

You two are awesome! It does seem tough being a public figure which always invites people to be harsh. I hope you both are encouraged to continue sharing this fantastic hobby with the world. I started my board gaming journey a couple of years ago and almost immediately landed on your channel. Two of my earliest games were Silver Bullet and Overboss, which I still love to play. That and many other games are thanks to your channel. Thank you so much for showing me some of my favorite games!

[@FostertheMeeple]

💜 thanks for being here

[@denaiir4775]

Happy New Year and hope you have a great 2025 ahead! Can't believe your play count, that's amazing! Got my husband into the hobby this year so you are GOALS Good for you or addressing the sh**heads in the comments, we need more positivity and less people giving unsollicited opinions in this world :)

[@FostertheMeeple]

More positivity yes pleassse!! ha

[@padenshorey9179]

Man, FUCK the haters. I went through, and am going through, the same thing you are Jeff (mental health questions, medication exploration, etc.). It's a journey, a personal journey, and it's good to see you taking that shit into your own hands and trying to make a difference. It's hard to talk about, and even harder to do and stick with. Keep it up, both of you, as a supportive partner is invaluable in these kind of situations. Happy new year and I hope that things continue to get better for both of you!

[@FostertheMeeple]

👏👏💜

[@diane68801]

Happy New Year, Jamie and Jeff from New York. You two are the ones who got me started on this hobby. I was so disappointed during Christmas when no one was interested in playing Flip 7, Fuji Flush nor Sea Salt and Paper. They saw the videos and questioned how can anyone be interested in these games. This is why I’m starting only playing solo games. I think I should disown my family and friends. Jeff well spoken explanation to “that person” who made that rude comment. Hope you feel well. Looking forward to more videos.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Solo games are awesome too! But I hope you find people to play those games with because they are soooo fun!! Happy New Year!

[@diane68801]

Thanks. I tried looking for a Board game Cafe or a Meet Up but it’s two hours away. Wish I can find people who like board games. FYI. I will be at Disney during your Gameathon in March. I set a reminder to watch. You should try Disney the end of March and just before Thanksgiving. September is still to hot to really enjoy it.

[@talkingtaco12]

Thank You two for sharing, I love yalls channel and I really love everything yall put out. I would love to play a game with yall one day I'm not that great at games but I still love games and I think yall wouldn't give me that hard of a time lol jk😅 Best wishes for a happy 2025 in all yall do.

[@iamthegull6126]

I wish you the best for 2025, take care of yourselves

READ BEFORE GETTING UPSET, TRUST THE PROCESS At first when I started binging your videos I wasnt sure about Jeff, I did find him uninterested and bored etc, but I think its also because he reminded me of bullies in highschool lol... but then I noticed the little things that proved me wrong and I felt bad for just judging without knowing! He says wonderful things about Jamie, sometimes Jamie just starts singing and I was expecting Jeff to be annoyed (thinking of my bullies) but hes always into it, and hes incredibyl supportive, and patient to her (adorable) antics, and now I just feel bad about my first impressions!

[@FostertheMeeple]

The best thing is that first impressions can always be changed! :) I do think sometimes we even forget that not everyone has been around our channel since the beginning and know our dynamic as well as those people that have, but I'm happy to hear you came around - I think Jeff and I balance each other out pretty well 😅

[@adrianneconstant]

@@FostertheMeeple yes you do 😊 its great to see!

[@runraggedrhino]

Ignore those naysayers and nitpickers, and just keep doing what feels right to you, because we (the real audience) love the genuine, authentic Jeff & Jamie! Also, are you part of Disney Vacation Club?? (we had a stellar all-out DW family vacation this past year, doing essentially EVERYTHING with the intention to never go back, but it was soooo good, we're considering it...)

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks!! And no we aren't part of DVC, we looked into it but since we only go once a year it doesn't seem worth it (at least at this point haha)

Sending positive vibes.

I need to know what that purple color is. Have been drooling over it since your studio update! I adore you two and can’t wait to see what you guys bring in this new studio! 🎉

[@FostertheMeeple]

I think the colour is called Galaxy! (Benjamin Moore)

@@FostertheMeeple Need to find a use for it!

[@painmerchantgaming5193]

What app do you use to track the games you play and moves? New to the channel abs you guys are awesome!

[@FostertheMeeple]

We use BGStats, it's the best one!!

[@mbsisktb9045]

Glad (and hope) both of you are doing better. Also you made me look up my bga stats I was shocked the number was as low as it was for the amount of time I spent on it especially July. 😅 ETA: I changed my original comment shouldn’t jump in comment 10 min into a 45 min video.

Thanks!

Thank you for calling out Doolin for Get Bit, it’d probably of be my #1 game of all time if he taught it correctly

[@FostertheMeeple]

It for sure would be - you've been robbed of joy!!!
