Pretty extensive breakfasts you take.

[@jokerES2]

​@@chaps2k100there was first breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, and that was followed by a honey do list. Back at it.

[@jokerES2]

Added above. As always, if there are any errors, please let me know and I'll fix.

[@RufusCat]

I like these fast reviews. You help me to stay up to date on what's out there, thank you!

[@boardgamemusic]

I love the format and the value it brings to the table! :) Thanks

[@barbaramazzocca4605]

Oh, I am so disappointed about Milkman. I'm in my 60s and had a game when I was little where a milkman went around delivery milk and we had little milk crates with bottles that fit in them. I loved that game and hoped this would be great and remind me of that childhood game!

[@NATOnova]

Glad to see the new ticket to ride expansion got a good review. Looking forward to your full review and hopefully playing it sometime. Loooove this format!

[@Hemux0]

Laughed out lout at the "don't worry about it" joke. Really funny. Awesome job as usual Tom, love your guys normal reviews as well as this format.

[@gregbroxterman]

First I’ve heard “Smurf and write” ha! Love it

[@JorWat25]

I think it started on a Crowd Surfing episode.

[@GutosArtDepot]

I love these reviews! I think it would be nice to know how many times you guys played the games. That would add a depth to the reviews, like how much you were willing to play it again. I know that experienced board games don't need a lot of plays to get a good grasp on how good the game can be, but maybe that's a thing to consider. 😁

[@mikehulsebus]

These are the reviews that I am always sure to catch

[@KidJV]

man i really wish player count is mentioned in this videos

[@MrSynn69]

Always fun to watch these quick fire ratings list

[@hanslamal5632]

Mushroom games are spreading like mushrooms 😌

Still no review of Chandigarh :( I'd have loved to hear you guys' opinion on it.

[@andreteruya5058]

Thanks for talking about Van Gogh! ❤

[@9kurochka]

Love these new series

[@1979kubala]

Surprised by your score of nocturnal i thought it was really good

[@kirilivanov8226]

Nocturnal is really good

[@Thrasholis]

I got it from kickstarter but didn't play yet and I was like oh man I expected to be better but I don't always agree with Tom

[@jameskirk4692]

Thanks for the video

[@onepingonly1941]

It's gotta be draining to play so many games, learning rules, making notes, etc. Jeesh,, plus your full reviews and playthroughs. Gotta be 60 hours a week at least. At least. Impressive, most impressive.

[@alexstrang9823]

Takoyaki are delicious. One of the best foods out there.

[@BoardGamesBricksHobbies]

I watch these on 2x speed, so it's 8 minutes for me 😂

[@Drew_D]

Nice video. Did Tom go as Dick Tracy for Halloween?

[@rexology_bg]

I thought man in the yellow hat from Curious George.

[@borismacias]

Since when does the Dice Tower review ttrpg books like "What Lies Beneath"? 😱😱😱

[@timnickerson5389]

I would highly disagree with your review of Milkman. For what it is, it’s a fun game. I’d say 7.5, maybe 8 out of 10. I’d give it another shot.

[@foyoGames]

Pobody's Nerfect for the name Win

[@bev542]

Love Tom and his reviews, but the intro music is horrible.

[@DontNickMe]

way too many 6s given out to games you seem to dislike? I mean in general, not just this video.

[@RvLeshrac]

Don't confuse having issues with a game with "disliking" the game. A BGG 6 is "OK", not "Good." A 6 means that you'll play it, but you'll probably vote to play something else if given the chance.

[@TPH250290]

@@RvLeshrac I've never really understood the system that the worst a functioning game can score is 4/10, and anything less than that is reserved for something that is completely broken. But that's the way it is.

[@spaceman_256]

I really dont understand why you guys are seen as such authorities on board games when you treat them as disrespectfully as this

[@KissellMissile]

If you think that 1) you must not have been around the hobby for a while. Tom has been doing this for longer than almost anyone and doing a good job, 2) what is disrespectful exactly? That he gave fast reviews? Games are not people. That he gave fast reviews? Do not mistake brevity for flippancy.

[@anonymousbosch9265]

I think he gave 6’s to 4’s. I also had a twinge of thinking this is harsh but our hobby is attracting predatory garbage mill types who just pump out low quality with catchy titles, basically cardboard clickbait

[@marks6928]

Fast reviews are disrespectful? Nope. Reviews are disrespectful if they say a bad game is bad or an average game is average? Nope. There are thousands of games released every year, most of them average trash shovelled out to make a quick buck and move on. Most of these games will be forgotten about by this time next year. Grow up, please.

[@MarkBlasco]

It's worth thinking about what is different here than in the past. When he was doing a small number of full reviews each week, he'd only put the time into the games that were popular, or he felt deserved a review. With this format, he can at least comment on the games that are a 6 and below, without having to ignore them completely.

[@theinnerparty5295]

Tom Vasel ? No thanks. Smug and conceited.

[@RufusCat]

And you're judgmental and critical.

[@samirjafri191]

And you couldn't find any other board game content to watch instead?

[@ZentaurFTW]

Why are you here then? Why comment? Don’t be a troll, be better.
