Everyone knows what happens to those clicky numbers when Nicky is on something

[@mateorodrigo8119]

This really doesn’t have more views than other drafts lol

[@adamjohnson3398]

this is a core draft that has been missing over the last few years. This is Farmer's Insurance strong stuff. 5 guys that take this draft very seriously about a topic everyone can relate to. More of this and more "regular" rotating cast like Nick, Clem, Rico, Robbie, Klemmer. Passionate weird minds over topics all day.

[@matthewkwiatkowski5609]

That’s a good list of recurring guest to see

[@maryschuler6572]

Nick giving Mrs Peacock the leadpipe in the conservatory made me LOL then Eddie talking Guess Who cracked me up like old times. Good draft and guests

[@TheColburnReport]

Nick always brings it

[@Mrbink01]

Dave's " we could sell it for $2400" comment on the high end Connect Four was missed by everyone

[@adamcrnobrnja8781]

Catan is a legit 1.1 candidate that went undrafted. SHOCKING

[@acidburner1981]

Agreed, woulda been my first overall

[@72TEHJ]

It even got tip picked by Nick and never got went back to.

[@ethanrosenblum3730]

Haven't even started but can already tell this has all the makings of a great draft

[@buzzerbeater6257]

Nick on a snake draft?? YAHTZEE!!!

[@mysteryduckman]

I can not remember the last time I "Liked" a KZbin comment before now. Congrats, well deserved.

[@taylorsmith3597]

Dude, you are witty and accurate

[@MaxSchencker]

The drafts have been revitalized. two guests per show is a great dynamic. well done lads

[@SouthernSkeptic]

Carl was bringing the mood down something awful.

[@MrCarloss510]

@@SouthernSkepticyea for real, especially towards the end

[@joeprimus9333]

Another way to say that is that Chicago barstool is a snooze fest and they need at least 2 extra people to make them interesting

[@SouthernSkeptic]

@@joeprimus9333 dont rhink thats what he was saying. Think he meant it got better with sourpuss Carl gone.

[@joeprimus9333]

@@SouthernSkeptic point still stands , Dave is just the village idiot , Eddie just makes fun of Dave and plays contrarian and chief comes across pompous and jaded

[@thewaxycat]

Dude, I'd play board games with Nick any day.

[@Rknowles813]

Nicky Clicky! Hope he goes to Chicago with KB. Them two and WSD would be a unique trio

[@mattsean6164]

WSD has officially taken the title of “worst drafter” from Chief. That guy STINKS at this

[@Spen4]

Cant go wrong with Nick in any content

[@krispykrunkdonut]

crazy catan didnt get drafted. also on the legacy front, pandemic legacy is a great jumping off point for people until theya re ready for gloomhaven

[@taylorsmith3597]

Say what?

[@pgilroy623]

Catan just sitting on the top of the board for the entire draft is baffling

[@kalemorton7138]

Feel like it’s your #1 game if you’ve played it, but if you haven’t it gets no attention

[@coreycannon8390]

CATAN , could have been #1 overall and was not drafted . Great draft

[@NathanAndersonE]

Credit to Chief for not voting for Eddie in every single draft going forward. Big integrity move

[@cdlmariners]

Loved this draft. Great topic, guests and conversation

[@MyMomsBasementwithRobbieFox]

Shoutout to all the board game people out there and even the ones who just get profiled as board game people

[@jefflepine4231]

I see Nicky, I clicky

[@elijahkalyn6827]

Man, just a real solid draft. Keep ones like this coming.

[@mysteryduckman]

If I do not see Catan I will riot. Great topic/Guests!

[@bobrown90]

Catan getting left off is a huge miss.

[@michaelweber87]

I’m thinking why hero quest wasn’t in - just on Merits alone - I’m not even mentioning the BroawudSwhawod

[@SouthernSkeptic]

Never heard of that.

[@TheColburnReport]

Not even an honorable mention. Massively popular game and they memory holed it

[@SouthernSkeptic]

Maybe I'm old but can't believe Sorry didn't get drafted.

[@bigpopslaflare]

I haven’t been this excited for barstool Chicago content in over a year

[@le9335]

Great topic, great guests, great convos. One of my favorite drafts ever just because it was such a laid back vibe. I’m a fellow mid 30 year old and feel like our generation was prime board game kids. Tech hadn’t taken over yet but the board game inventors were out in full force. 90’s we’re the golden era of board games. Times were simple back then. Until one of the 89 arguments ensued over a rules discrepancy

[@TheColburnReport]

Nick made a mistake taking chess and checkers. Both are good picks on their own, but you need a well rounded lineup on the graphic and he drafted 2 quarterbacks with his first two picks.

[@mattsean6164]

Sorry and trouble going undrafted is wild

[@trevormitch8196]

Best draft in awhile

[@thewaxycat]

"I'm doing well, thank you for asking" is the most "I've worked in retail/hospitality/service industry" response ever

[@joshlabarbera2377]

Settlers of Catan going undrafted is criminal

[@ackattack1002]

On the Yahtzee subject, you Chicagoans should go bar hopping in Wisconsin. Pay $1 for a roll of bar dice. 4 of a kind gets you a free drink. Yahtzee gets you half of the money that they’ve collected from the losers of the game. It’s called “Shake of the Day.”

[@Triple-G]

Risk is one of my all time favorites! Anyone play Axis & Allies? Basically the same game but a tad more complicated and WWII based.

[@rallierlicorne9332]

Trivial Pursuit is 1.1. Nothing better than proving you’re the smartest one in the room.

[@dylanbuckley3127]

[@taylorsmith3597]

I concur

[@king216OH]

I veto Uno for it being a card game and Yatzee for being a dice game. Both players are disqualified.

[@theodoreschumann6]

With all Eddie’s wisco cabin trips I’m surprised he didn’t pick cribbage.
