5 Great Board Games For Couples

[@joelfrench9007]

“Who’s leaving butter in the forest?” “Perverts.” (With British accent!). TOO funny! 9:10

[@asura899]

When you know the presented games but you watch the video because the humor is so good ^^

[@17shade17]

It's such a shame board games are not as mainstream as movies. Because you would have millions of subscribers. This was hilarious!!

[@actualol]

Thank you buddy! I needed that :)

[@zwara81]

word. Those three weirdly the same looking people always put a smile on my face. great work guys.

[@KarmaAdjuster]

Shut up and Sit Down is pretty good, but between the two channels, I've only subscribed to one .... and that would be yours.

[@danieldukai1380]

His whole channel is awesome.

[@FunkyJ_Az]

You may not have content that comes out as frequently as other creators but when my notifications tell me an Actualol video has just been uploaded I hop right over to KZbin and watch it immediately! I'll have to check some of these games out since most of my gaming is done with my wife.

[@grokness]

Second video of yours I've watched and I literally lol'ed at "Just had to follow the trail of old socks and awkward conversation." Wonderful writing and delivery. Subscribed.

[@joelcole161]

4:10 "And I bought this wooden board ... because I have no self-control ..." Literally me. #TheStruggleIsReal

[@Aquadoozy]

"And I bought this wooden board because I have no self control" LOL saaame. It's gotten to the point where hubby just rolls his eyes every time I try to bring up a new board game. "What did you buy this time??"

[@torimatthews6300]

"When I'm old and gray, I'll always have something beautiful to look at. This board game!" HA! Love it! And really surprised that I am now interested in a game about mushrooms... Great video!!

[@actualol]

To buy an Actualol T-Shirt head to actualol.com/shop. They will only be on sale for a couple more weeks!

[@sarahbeth5671]

I really enjoy your videos! My favorite games are ones I can play with my husband and your description of all these games has me sold on all of them.

[@actualol]

Thanks Sarah!

[@DTia88]

My boyfriend and I got our first proper board game together not so long ago - persuaded by another one of your brilliant videos, we opted for Patchwork. Fantastic game! We would go for a co-op game as our next buy I think. Just wanted to say thanks for leading people in the right direction in regards to great board game fun - keep up the good work! :D

[@actualol]

Thanks for sharing! That's awesome! Yeah, a co-op game is definitely worth trying if you don't have one. Is Pandemic on the shortlist? That was our first, and we still love it.

[@DTia88]

It definitely is - I'm working towards becoming a nurse, so a game about saving the world from deadly and vile diseases, hell yeah! Also Forbidden Desert looks really intriguing - a bit more so than Forbidden Island. Just hope it plays well with just two, if not, I really would like to get it anyway, just 'cause. It's strange. I KNOW I have always loved board games, I spent alot of time playing them when I was younger with my family. I think we all have. But somewhere along the line of life, it was forgotten. And the games of the past weren't really all that compared to what I can now see is happening. I had no idea what a co-op game was. Or how a game could be "legacy". And god, when I looked into "A Feast for Odin", I sat there with my mouth open for ages looking at all the content! I feel like I've been robbed of so much while being oblivious to whats out there, but not anymore!

[@AlexSem6]

Yeah, Patchwork. Exactly the game I used to introduce my wife into board gaming. It was a huge success.

[@talesofcardboard3986]

Great video. Changed my initial impression of both Tak and Sagrada.

[@PadsandPawns]

I love fugitive! You're so right about the feelings from such a small box game!

[@OFtheleft]

Great video again i have just got Sagrada and am loving it. Keep up the good work.

[@Bapfal]

Thanks Jon. Good watch! :) Will come back to it, when it's time to get a new game.

[@adamwoods6373]

Favorite Actualol video yet!

[@sophiarichardson8661]

Fantastic content as ever Actualol!

[@anthonyhaigh4058]

Another great video! And a great selection I love the look of Fugitive and it's by the same people as Burgle Bros another game you have made me want! Hopefully I can find them at UK Games EXPO and hopefully see you there!

[@hollyharnsberger]

Fantastic video as always. Can't wait to get my shirt. I'll be wearing it to gencon for sure.

[@storytellerforgotten-do2vv]

Yep, Sagrada is sooooo good!

[@wicketsnatcher]

Great video! While I've been an avid gamer for years, slowly but surely that interest has been growing in my fiance too! I came across your first "Top 10 Couples Games" video a couple years ago and got a bunch for us for Christmas. Anyhow, as a result of the first we added a few to our collection (Patchwork is now one of our faves and we've already been having a grand time with Fugitive from its Kickstarter). After this one I'll definitely be grabbing a few more. Keep up the excellent work!

[@actualol]

+wicketsnatcher Awesome! Thanks for your comment.

[@scottrussell8508]

Awesome, glad I found your channel, your videos are super funny!

[@BehroozShahriariBez]

llol at the Fungi/Morels puns Another great video, Jon!

[@ericengstrom2138]

Super funny. Love your stuff. Going to watch the rest of it now.

[@CG_Hali]

It's hard to make funny videos about counseling therapy with fresh material but you did it!

[@Sanjii87]

Brilliant as ever! The guys from Sit Down better Shut Up, because you are the more most funnierest!

[@Rivercat0338]

I will be calling this channel Active Vole from now on.

[@connorhalo]

Glad you liked Sagrada and Tak as much as I did. And I missed Fugitive. It sounds perfect for me and my (extremely competitive) gf.

[@cazzzaayable]

your videos are so good, we love them! and board games are our mainstay :D

[@actualol]

Thank you! :D

[@shire3342]

hilarious videos, love them. I got sagrada thanks to this vid!

[@AhJong0]

Great stuff, the focus on couples gaming is grand. I'd find a retrospective "we used to play, but now we're playing..." a neat one. A bit like your video about games that have left your collection. It feels with couples games though that their shelf life is very different to your typical 4 player fare.

[@Leron...]

I Sagrada hand it to you for the excellent SU&SD pear-ody, but I can't help but notice that there wasn't enough groaning or eye rolling from the girlfriend to make it seem realistic (then again, you know Morels about your relationship than I do. she might actually punderstand and enjoy wordplay more than most). Also, in a future video, could you maybe Tak about the experience of buying games with her reactions/commentary and how you react to it? Or maybe a video about your method for choosing which game to play? Is it methodical or do you just close your eyes and go "Santorini-meenie-miney-mo"? ... Fugitive. I wasn't sure how to work that one into a pun...

[@actualol]

I'm pretty sure it was your idea to send them to Couples Therapy, so thanks for that!

[@remigarrigues6039]

Great video! I don't know if it is thanks to you, but both Sagrada and Santorini are totally unavailable at least in France / UK :-(. Too bad, now I want them even more ;-). FYI for the guys searching for a copy, an amazon comment says that Santorini will be re-edited in September.

[@RaphaelWiggum]

En ce qui concerne Sagrada, le jeu a eu une VF il y a deux mois (juillet 2018). Apparemment ça s'est bien vendu car les prix Amazon sont 10€ trop cher, mais sur Philibertnet on peut pré-commander le jeu (une 2e impression, j'imagine) pour 35€.

[@nedeljkodukic7279]

The perverts leaving butter in the forest cracked me up 🤣

[@graemek7658]

Great video as always! Been eyeing up Fungi for a while so nice to get a recommendation. To combine two themes here, what I thought was a silly made up alternative word for someone who studies fungus, Fungalologist, turned out to be a real word. My mycologist friend was getting annoyed for nothing...

[@peterhaslehurst535]

Brilliant Jon! Made me actually laugh out loud.

[@actualol]

Thanks Peter!

[@vibeapps9359]

Thanks really enjoyed this video, it was very funny!

[@ManusNoble1988]

Hope the subscribers continue to grow! Deserves to

[@MaleDuckGaming]

Awesome as always.

[@constantinvasiliev2065]

An amazing channel!

[@actualol]

Thank you 🙂

[@Rik77]

You, NPI and SUSD should do a video together. Board Game Madness!

[@surfingerik69]

great video again :), you should make a co op only vid for couples :)

[@JustRosieStorm]

The thrill of foraging for mushrooms. Haha you must be such a fun guy ;) Freakin hilarious video 😂

[@oliverjest]

Brilliant!

[@TheWillz02]

Agree!

[@klossy4]

Great video - you got my subscription! I love the 2 player games I have already including Jaipur, Battle Line, Lost Cities and Hive. I want to expand my collection with Santorini as it looks like a really good game but I can't seem to find anywhere in the UK that is selling it! Your link goes to a discontinued amazing seller... do you know where I can get it??? Also Tak is £50 but also looks really fun so may have to bite the bullet!

[@actualol]

Santorini is out of stock everywhere at the moment, but I'm certain it will be back within a few months, so just hold on I'd say. Tak should be more like £40 - it is a little pricey.

[@benbernards]

"The *Morel* of the Story". Fine...take my upvote.

[@actualol]

All the way to the bank!

[@Markzilla41]

I fell off my chair laughing.

[@allredjohn]

So good as always. I hope you and your wife work things out.

[@Hanc_vrbata]

Yeah, I like SU&SD too. I enjoy your videos as well tho =)

[@gamerghost4157]

I have to say I'm binge watching your channel like I do with The Sopranos. I'm going to run out, need you to tell your girlfriend if she wants to spend more time with you that she needs to sit in on some games so you can keep up with the demand of subscribers.

[@actualol]

Loving all your comments! Thanks for binge-watching :)

[@KNic0lson]

If I see you at Aircon we can play Wavelength and Fog of Love

[@nedeljkodukic7279]

"I bought this board because I have no self-control". Suddenly I feel normal.

[@IainMabbott]

Fine work sir. Bravo! "Who's leaving it there?" - "PERVERTS" :D

[@TheBoardGameKaptain]

Some great recommendations in there. Unfortunately I can't get my wife to play Tak with me, just not her sort of game. She'd much rather play The Duke and Tales of the Arabian Nights. 😜

[@krmusick]

Sorry to be off topic but... What is the Title and Artist for the music you use? Edit: Also; can you link to the card sleeves you use? Thank you.

[@actualol]

The music I use is available from KZbin Free Audio Library. The opening music is called "Cold Killa", and the ending music is called "It's All Happening". I use Fantasy Flight card sleeves.

[@krmusick]

OMG!!! YOU REPLIED!!! (squeee). Um... I mean... Thank you very much!

[@kosterix123]

Viticulture:EE Hardback Catan 2p, Blokus, For us..

[@k.vandervaart3223]

"... and her parents." Lol!

[@monkeykorns]

Tak and Santorini look amazing, but they're not available anywhere at a decent price :(

[@mibberz1]

not bad, pretty good edits

[@dwarftoken]

No more T-shirts?

[@actualol]

+Gil Melo I had to sell them in a batch so I'm afraid not right now, but maybe again in the future.

[@TornTech1]

What card protectors do you use? can you recommend any?

[@actualol]

I tend to use Fantasy Flight because of the quality. They can be a little long, though.

[@Keindzjim]

Not my kind of games, but great video as ever

[@rexross1461]

Love these ones lol :)

[@vespera219]

Ummm... About that Famous Jon shirt...

[@actualol]

Yeah, that was a LONG time ago. Short story: I decided for my final year at Uni I would make a documentary about trying to become famous, inspired by Super Size Me. There were t-shirts involved :)

[@vespera219]

Actualol I just got a shirt for my birthday and I can't wait to wear it. I have been asked to help build a board game library and teach people how to play. This will be my official work shirt. I should have bought more...

[@zwara81]

So the failed sitcom was?

[@actualol]

No particular sitcom, just many years of trying to get one off the ground as a writer. Kind of an in-joke that one!

[@surgeoner]

I thinking you might be pronouncing fungi wrong...

[@actualol]

I'm so confused. When I did my board game song I pronounced it "fun-gee" and got told off. So this time I looked up the pronunciation on forvo.com and was given "fun-G". What is the right way?

[@shapeoffour2319]

[@Prometosermejor]

Hahahaha good video!
