Board Game Resolutions | Things Get Dicey - Board Game Sketch Comedy

[@JonTripp115]

Gamefound exists solely to be a loophole in "No More Kickstarter" resolutions.

[@PaulaDeming]

a very good loophole!

[@mattyweaves]

I would like to order one video, "Top 10 Funeral Games."

[@aprilw2287]

This is pure delight. 😆 My resolution was that I have to get rid of a game for every game I buy, plus setting myself a budget. I made it through January without any game purchases (well, except that one expansion....) and on the first of Feb sent a trade request on BGG. 😅

[@thomasvickery5671]

I'm impressed by your willpower; For me, Jan15th = Jan 3rd and Jan 31st = Jan 7th at the latest. Also what game was that gorgeous painted mini from?

[@PaulaDeming]

I painted that myself, actually! It's from Warhammer Underworlds

[@HaphazardDisastard]

Overboss is a neat little game! I love its beautiful art. The gameplay itself is a little boring compared to better games, but the packaging is just so satisfying. Opening and organizing the box alone is worth the price of the game, even if you never play it. It's almost like a little puzzle to figure out, but it's easy and so satisfying. Just do it. 😁 (There's a good "box review" on Board Game Geek about this very thing.)

"They'll be disappointed if I don't!!" Absolute gold 😂🖤

[@PaulaDeming]

hehehehe

[@firefly24601]

The "Uncle Jack's funeral" twist got me!!!

[@soltydog]

I would love if my funeral turned into a board game meetup.

[@PaulaDeming]

honestly, me too! *goes to change her will*

[@middleclassboardgamer]

Paula Deming is a national treasure.

[@MattLeSpy]

*right, this is social night, just talk about normal things* "So... I... erm... What do you think about worker placement?"

[@TapCat]

If you visit a gym regularly, you'll see a huge spike in attendance during the first week or so of January but everything is back to normal by the 15th at the latest. People are generally very bad at keeping New Year's resolutions and Paula has done her usual amazing job of satirizing the board gamer version of this tendancy.

[@ChronoMager]

*eyes Marvel United Multiverse pledge* I feel attacked.

[@jimmlynch9697]

Too real!!! I think I always turn every social event into an opportunity for a game night!

[@Jamienomore]

Very Good and Funny Video. I like playing Solitaire Chess. Trouble is...I don't understand why it keeps ending in a Stalemate.

[@madquest8]

Solid Gold.. except that no Kickstarter would ever arrive that fast! LOL. Uh... or so I've been told...

[@lukelajoie]

I just went all-in on Andromeda's Edge, but it's not a kickstarter, so everything is fine with the world! :D

[@PaulaDeming]

Totally okay, everything's fine! ;)

[@DuluthLaker]

This was hilarious. And… also… way too close to home. I’m alternating laughing and sobbing over here! 😂

[@TheDavidPhillips]

That funeral bit killed me. Uh... and Uncle Jack, it would seem. Super impressed you made it a whole month!

[@PaulaDeming]

Luckily (?) Uncle Jack was dead before the funeral

[@TheDavidPhillips]

@@PaulaDeming that.... crap. That checks out. You win this one, Deming! *fist shake*

[@rekakristo986]

Yeah, sure, kickstarter arriving in a month! What strange parallel universe is this???

[@PaulaDeming]

Totally free action!

[@MistressMissy]

My shelf of shame is probably a kallax of shame by now

[@dougascott]

I don’t mind losing by 1 point. Means it was a good game! I just don’t want to get skunked in a game.

[@donnakeferlis1649]

All too familiar. Good intentions... Gradual backslide... Back to square one. And eventually even worse bc of all the new hotness. My shelf of shame is starting to look like a FLGS!

[@PaulaDeming]

I can relate!

[@guitarplayr8]

You bring stack of games, no one wants to play. You decide to not bring any games because there probably won't be any time to play anyways, and everyone asks why you didn't bring any games. That's why 60% of the time, I bring games every time.

[@chinapaige]

I bring them nearly every time, but sometimes I leave them in the car, but just like to have them just in case...

[@wingmansion]

No, we are definitely not obsessed.

[@rialiti3996]

So Scandaloh! is on the shelf of shame.... i see..... ( but seriously.... good work !!)

[@PaulaDeming]

that's why it's called the shelf of "shame" obviously ;)

[@Blackwolf9]

That zoom during the Cascadia skit with Verdant sitting in the background still shrink wrapped XD.

[@ajtame]

Overboss is great, give it a go :)

[@gurnblanston2848]

At my house, "use a napkin before you touch that" becomes "go wash your hands before you touch that", and there is never an "if you feel like it" 😂

[@billtodd2194]

All so true...Except the idea of a KS arriving only a month later. I'm still getting games I backed back in 2018...

[@gunnarct]

Ouch. That's me... Especially the "games in mint condition" and... yes, the recation to scratches and dings on brand new games! 😱 But it's only mid February. Lots of time to... change. 😇

[@teejleague3838]

I don't want to admit it but I am very much that person who hands somebody the napkin and am like, "Oh, but of course, you don't have to.....and would you like to wear gloves while you touch the gameboard so your nails don't scratch it?" XD XD I'm a mess. (All internally, except for the hub!)

[@scottsmartky]

If only AP could be removed with resolutions. And since some people love to turn almost every event into proselytizing about their religion or MLM, being the board game person in the group isn't that bad, right? And I'd hate to be that delivery driver the next day after finding that minute damage.

[@iambicpentakill971]

At first I was confused by the implication of social events not centered around board gaming, but then I realized that you meant role-playing night.

[@Gathanokos]

This is literally what we always talk about in Korean BG communities: stop buying games, stop backing them, is it okay to ask for an exchange for a miniscule damage, not wanting to play with people who thinks for more than 5 minutes! I guess gamers are more or less the same everywhere lol 😆

[@nightcatarts]

Anything well-loved and well-used is gonna get a few worn edges and rounded off corners, but touching stuff with filthy fingers is a contravention of basic decency.

[@inspired2game]

😂😂 That was hilarious. Great video Paula!

[@Zilong09]

Are we implying that Paula backed a KS some time after Jan 15, and then managed to get it around Jan 31st?! That is one very 'on time' campaign!

[@PaulaDeming]

ha, yeah that one requires a little "willing suspension of disbelief"

[@emmafradd]

i'm embarrassed about how much of this I related to

[@Plautus]

All the games on my shelf of shame are fully punched, so I've recouped some of the entertainment value at least.

[@kaos1109]

... I need to do the opposite of the social event... I need to stop making social events out of gaming get togethers 😅

[@steveody978]

Uncle Jack was great. He totally would have wanted you to play it!

[@eaglesight333]

Very funny. Was surprised you made it through the month. Would have expected you to make it no further then January 4th. 😃

[@HerKnightable]

I make a list of them every year and then go out of my way to break them on the first day. It feels... right.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Yokaiiiii!! Love this video!!! 🤣👏👏👏💫

[@altaripa8130]

How could you receive a kickstarter so quickly ? 😂😂

[@PaulaDeming]

movie magic babeeeee

[@ejrhenriksen]

"I'll let you punch it.?" !.... Good stuff.

[@teejleague3838]

We love this so much. You are hilarious!!!!

[@invictarussuzerain]

+1 for the Warhammer Underworlds

[@TheTrendz24]

This is way too funny. My life in a nutshell. I don’t however have a shelf of shame……..I have giant kallax’s of shame 😞

[@PaulaDeming]

I have so many unplayed games

[@murrayleach5996]

That losing by one point hits too close to home 😂

[@mconnaghan]

Rip Uncle Jack

[@PaulaDeming]

Never forgotten

[@mconnaghan]

@@PaulaDeming I'm going to go ahead and claim that I said "RIP" in all caps.

[@2532robh1]

Hits way close to home.

[@jorgerangel2390]

you are a talented actress

[@aadlersberg]

OMG Magic Mountain!

[@DavidSupina]

Who said funerals were not an appropriate place for gaming? I have never heard this.

[@PaulaDeming]

THANK YOU

[@seankliethermes5447]

The girl is a delight!

[@Jermexmachina]

Keep em comin

[@voyager5333]

That's just too real! I guess we're all hooked :)

[@nanorider426]

Yep. Paula is channelling a lot of gamers. ^^

[@savasyn]

I got to practice being a good loser today, having lost 4 our of 5 games to my wife. I'm just happy to have gotten in so many rather than the usual 1 and done we usually do.

[@edwardrhoads7283]

I know you are not really okay with that. The tell.... You misspelled out...

Happy to see my game in your video... even if it ends up unplayed… and burned… I guess 😭🤣

[@PaulaDeming]

In the Palm of Your Hand is such a fun and unique game! I've played it, just not this particular copy. And don't worry, no games were actually harmed in the making of this video ;)

Thanks for the nice words! Taking this opportunity to tell you how much I love your work. Most funny board-games-related channel. By far

[@j_atkinson]

As always... you hit too close to home 🤣

[@HerKnightable]

Why do we make new years resolutions if we don't intend on breaking them. IT IS A TRADITION!

[@cwb95k]

Does burning games on the shelf of shame count as recycling? It should. That's like...a free action...right?

[@edwardrhoads7283]

I don't have problems worrying about keeping anything mint. My two kids tear up so much stuff I have learned to not bother...

[@lukepickles5099]

Amazing stuff - I look forward to the mid year review and seeing how many kickstarters you’re hidden by!

[@mella4376]

Damn Paula repping Godsworn Hunt? As always an inspiration to us all.

[@jamescartwright1150]

Excellent stuff as always Paula 🙂

[@PaulaDeming]

glad you enjoyed it!

[@eepinpang4407]

Living your best life Paula! Resolutions be damned!

[@kasperkenthpetersen4528]

You are the female version of me 😂 ... Your just better looking.

[@fireant202]

At first I thought the tissues were just to manage people's tears of pain at having to learn Tapestry.

[@bearhustler]

Uncle Jack loooooved Kickstarters 😢

[@danielnutting6028]

2:28 - Yeah this is why I prefer co-op games.

[@GaryRoseCO]

sounds like a lot of useless resolutions to me 🙂

[@adamholt5395]

2:20 This shows me in it and I don't appreciate it. IF I HAD MORE TIME I WOULD HAVE WON!!! Great video as always

[@PaulaDeming]

just a little longer to think!!!

[@Skarpo89]

I didn't get where this was going at the beginning, but the twists were so fun 😂

[@tmon6219]

Excellent video as usual Paula!!

The lies we tell ourself.

the struggle is real😅

I'll be fine. I'm so fine. Super fine.

@@PaulaDeming I don't believe you. 🤪

I'm impressed! You made it all the way to Jan 31👍That is something to celebrate 🍾 You deserve to back another Kickstarter 👏 Great video and sorry about your Uncle Jack!

[@benitodee3274]

Pardon me, Paula...but WHY are there TWO Exit games on your shelf of shame??? Edna Mode voice: "Explain yourself!"

[@benitodee3274]

PS-Is there a way for you to sign a shirt if I were to order one?

[@tryhardmyass]

hey illusion is a masterpiece! Works with adults, with kids, with elderly, works with gamers and no gamers, works with people that didnt feel like gaming at that moment :D
