A special shout out to you, Dave, for the wonderfully positive energy you always bring to the gaming table and your beautifully crafted pre-game explanations!! You're an excellent teacher.

[@thestorythusfar911]

Here's to 500 more and beyond! Love ya'll!❤😊

[@Jindorek]

100's of hours of entertainment with a room full of like minded geeks. I'm so grateful for this channel. not only is it entertaining, but also informative. Well done on reaching the 500th episode. here is to 500 more!

[@JordanFilchev]

I am from Bulgaria (Europe) and I watch you regulary. I found you years ago and since then you are my favourite Board Game Show. What I like the most is when I see you playing I actually start imagine how that certain game will be played with my game group - you are casual, you talk, you laugh, you help each other to make the best move - exactly things that I want to have in my gaming. My hook to the show was Dave and his beautiful teaching. He is soooo good at it. Thank you all!

[@dawnthurbon3359]

Congratulations Game Night. You really have achieved what Nikki mentioned - introducing many more people to the wonderful world of board gaming. And Deborah, I completely understand the star struck moment - I met Lincoln and Nikki in July and once I had plucked up the courage to introduce myself, I was lucky enough to get to play games with them. They were so welcoming, patient and fun. Thanks to Game Night for helping me avoid trawling through rule books and for allowing me to discover whether I will like a game before I spend my hard-earned cash on it.

[@hellonadia4072]

Thanks for all the great playthroughs! It really resonated when Nikki said that you like to do playthroughs instead of reviews so that people can decide for themselves if the game is right for them or their group. I love that and of course it helps that I seem to have the same taste in games as you folks do. Sooo MANY games added to my collection just from your videos and even more on my grail list. Here's to another 500 episodes!

[@kjellkanin]

I loved hearing how you guys met, I've always wondered how you know each other. You're a great group and I wish we all had a group like yours!

[@danmunch1267]

After all these years, you all feel like family to me. So immensely grateful for all the work that you've done. Here's to the next 500!

[@25thCenturyGames]

It was so great to watch y'all have fun with Green Team Wins. Appreciate your featuring it, especially on such a milestone episode. Also thank you for doing what you do. Game Night is such a joy for not just learning how to play and getting exposed to new games, but to feel like we're sitting at the table with you sharing the experience and comradery. - chad

[@boardgamegeek]

Thank you Chad! We really love the game and all that 25th Century has been doing. Thanks again for the note and for watching. -Lincoln

[@leekiel]

Because of Gamenight my bank balance is a lot lower and have a lot less storage space in my home. Thank you for making one of the best shows on KZbin :)

[@saraann8140]

I have the same cash and space problem now too due to Game Night🥰 But soooo worth it 😇

[@AhJong0]

500th?! Holy Moly what an achievement. Deborah is such a delight playing this, adds so much to the vibe. The core crew are so good, the guests are often grand and everyone just seems so comfortable. Great work GameNight!

[@Fajar.Nugroho]

Thank you for all of the past 500 episodes and I will definitely watch the next 500 episodes!

[@Gamnificent]

Congrats on your 500th! 👏🏼😃 It's been a pleasure to join you every week around the table. You are awesome 😃

[@teen-at-heart]

I loved the reminiscing….and Nikki summed up so touchingly why you do the series. Showing people this great hobby/activity and taking away the fear and/or anxiety about explaining/learning a game. 🧡

[@keithparker1346]

Imo the reason for doing the videos is to highlight the games rather than the individuals playing them. I like that it's restrained and that they are in effect reluctant "stars". Other gaming series notably Tabletop/Geek And Sundry and No Rolls Barred I always get the impression that the players are doing it more for the media exposure than a love of games

[@jennyfromthebloc]

Congratulations on 500 episodes! Thank you for inviting us into your world and sharing your passion for the hobby. I look forward to getting notifications for your new episodes and seeing who's joining you at your table. You've literally opened my eyes to the amazing world of games and I've watched my collection grow thanks to your inspiring videos. Looking forward to the next 500 🥳

[@marquonuk]

I love the way "My cups are up!" became the phrase of the game! ;)

[@topherfrog2100]

Thank you to the whole GameNight! team for continuing to put out my favorite KZbin show. Your work is very much appreciated.

[@boardgamegeek]

Glad you enjoy it!-Lincolm

[@anahi_naya_ledesma]

WHAT A MILESTONE! Congratulations! We love you and thank you for all the fun times and amazing games you have shared with all of us.

[@TPH250290]

Congratulations on 500 episodes, an incredible achievement.

[@mrpole4458]

Congratulations for 500 episodes! I remember watching your first one, king of Tokyo. You've been a great source of entertainment for all those years, especially during the pandemic. Thank you so much 😊

[@shazammy]

FIVE. HUNDRED. This is epic. Moving to Texas has been great for a lot of reasons, but missing being on Game Night is definitely one of the worst things. Oh yeah, 500 episodes means we get royalties from syndication now, right?! I like to think that Deborah would have managed to get on this show without my help, given her rampant love and enthusiasm for board games and storytelling, but I am SO GLAD I WAS ABLE TO BE A SMALL PART OF THAT❤! Love you all, and keep up the amazing work!

[@cardboardconjurer]

Everybody wins with 500 episodes of "Game Night!" Thanks for taking us down the rabbit hole of this amazing hobby with such an experienced and fun group. I look forward to the next 500 🎂🎉

[@burglekutt23]

Far and away the best channel on KZbin! My favorite episodes are the ones with an extra hearty round table discussion such as this one.

[@-S4UERKR4UT]

As others have said, you guys feel like a family to me. There is no one I trust more when it comes to boardgames. Seeing your wonderful group having so much fun playing boardgames has convinced me over and over to add a new boardgame to my collection. I hope there will be many more to come. Love you and your videos, congratulations with your 500th anniversary!

[@MattzuFF]

Congratulations and Thank you gamenight! This is simply the best format to get introduced to a new game. Watching all of you interact is a treat. Now with 500 episodes, GN has become an essential resource for all of us in this awesome hobby. Raising a meeple to 500 more!

[@starcloak]

Finally got to seeing the whole video, happy 500 GameNight episodes and congratulations to everyone and those who couldn't make it. Keep up the great work guys.

[@DekuLord]

It's clear that Deborah and Mike are the only two true gamers at the table with the answer to the most frustrating video game level question.

[@mjnickoloff]

Yes, we had the correct answer. 😂

[@EnterMyNameHere]

Mos Def. I was laughing so hard as how Deborah defended her answer and then when Mike talked how he can't fit any more games in his house 😂 Then again, sheep win this game haha.

[@shawnrynearson6114]

What's funny is that they were all thing what I was thinking which was "Mario".

[@ClockworkWyrm]

Nah, the correct answer are any escort quests/levels! But that wasn't on the card of course because it's too obvious.

[@EnterMyNameHere]

Well, of we're reeeeally trying to get to the real answer, I guess it would be auto-scroller. It has to.

[@bkwestman22]

What a fun thing to watch! I love Game Night! I've watched almost all the episodes, and it was so fun to reflect back with all of you. Congratulations on 500!! Some things just make you happy, and you guys do that! Keep it up!

[@fccwebmeister]

Congratulations on D episodes. I was on holiday in Maderia when I discovered your channel. You were into about three series. My early game collection was based on watching games you demonstrated. Thank you !

[@VeggieGamer]

I know I am a week late, but I love the discussion at the end! Honestly, boardgames are something I do find a bit intimidating, but watching you guys play is always such a pleasure! Sometimes the games go over my head a little, but you have a really good way of introducing them and playing them at a pace I can understand. Thanks so much for doing these playthroughs, they are such a fun escape after a busy day!! Here is to the next 500!!

[@mjnickoloff]

We try our best!

[@dkoudrin]

Nice one - always good entertainment for a friday.

[@tomcrane9448]

Dave, Lincoln, Nikki, Rusty, Mike and Deborah you are all National Treasures! Great work on now over 500 amazing and entertaining episodes - you probably don't realise it but I think you keep a lot of people going and happy with all the fun you create.

[@boardgamegeek]

Thanks so much. We are happy you are enjoying the show! -Lincoln

[@estherscott7379]

Congrats on your 500th episode BGG. I’m new to this channel so have missed a lot of games. Found it by accident while looking for Ticket To Ride tutorial. I watch all the time now. I’ve added games to my collection that I would never have considered before watching your play throughs. When others explain the rules that I find confusing and can’t get my head around, it makes a huge difference, so thank you so much for all the work that you do. I’ve less room in my house and very little money in my account but I wouldn’t change a thing. Here’s to many more.

[@AndreasKungl]

You guys are singlehandedly responsible for allowing me to reboot my passion for board games. I had been playing tons in the 90s, but at one point all that Real Life™ stuff got in the way. Stumbling to your table, I was astonished to find such a rich and fertile environment of concepts, ideas, wit, and art, that makes up contemporary games. Add, that your presentation is interesting and humane, your personalities are enjoyable, and your company is giving me the deep feeling of kinship - I feel grateful for that. I have learned about so many games that I wouldn't have known of, not a few of which I now happily own. Let's get another 5000 rounds!

[@msmilder25]

I've seen all, or maybe all but a couple of your videos, many of them I have seen 2-3-4 times, especially if it's a game I am considering buying for myself. Thanks for sharing your love of board games with the world.

[@NathanThornton_SCG]

Thanks so much for playing Green Team Wins for your special anniversary ep! Such a blast to watch you playing it, and it made it special for me too. Congrats on a great 500-show run. Looking forward to hundreds more!

[@boardgamegeek]

Thanks Nathan! We really love the game. Thanks so much for the note and for watching. -Lincoln

[@ClockworkWyrm]

Incredible! Thank you all for letting us join you and making our gaming lives so much richer.

[@jessekakaka2791]

Thank you for the 500, I think I've watched nearly all! And some have helped me through very difficult times. Can't wait to watch many years more, much love all!

[@masonite2005]

I have been watching for years and look forward to Thursday! Thank you for taking the time to make the videos. This channel has renewed mine and my husbands love of board games. When we introduce new games to our board game group we have the group watch your videos to learn to play so we can enjoy playing the game without having to teach the game.

[@Yogington]

Congrats on the big five-oh-oh! Consistently the best board game show on KZbin

[@user-io1ko6up1o]

500! You all play an invaluable role of the hobby, for the reason Nikki said - a great way to see if a game is for me or my friends. And, as an amateur designer, a way to see what's out there when 'cause I'm unable to play everything out there. Plus, your personalities and interactions are simply a joy to watch. I've rewatched certain episodes multiple times just for the hang and look forward to Thursday nights for all the new stuff. Thanks for all you do! Looking forward to the next 500!

[@dimleaf]

Yeeey, congrats on the 500th episode - can't wait for the next 500! "Green Team Wins" looks like a very fun and chill game, an excellent choice!

[@nickymd]

Congratulations on the big 500! I suspect I’ve watched almost every episode as you were my guides through my entry to board games and I now have old episodes playing at my desk while I work from home ❤ Thank you so much for the hours of entertainment. In all the episodes my two favourite memories are: - How brutal Tiny Towns got 😂 - Rusty being the embodiment of Hooper in the Jaws playthrough 😂

[@shinyhappymeeple]

Thank you so much for all the fun you've given to everyone over your 500 episodes. Your videos are one of the reasons I got into board games and I'm so grateful for everything you've done!

[@QuynhTran-cz3ef]

You guys are the best. I smile watching your videos.

[@saraann8140]

Awesome - Episode 500 🥰 Gratz all on a stellar show thats tons of fun and really teaches how to play a game 🥰 Love everyone on the show, ty ty all of ya so much for all the fun, games, and laughs 🥰 Even on a bad day I can watch any episode of Game Night and feel lots better in no time 😇 May you be around more than 500 more 🥰

[@hamer4667]

Congratulations on your 500th episode!!! There are many games I have because of watching you all play. Thanks for all the fun you provide!! I oftentimes hear the "Lincoln jokes" a half second before he says it!! Lol!!

[@MaricrisVillareal]

Congrats! You're my favorite channel on YT.

[@EnterMyNameHere]

One of the best channels out there and one of the best shows with the best people. Congrats, you deserve it. Love to you all. PS: a not so crazy idea: make an episode just talking your experiences on the show. Besides, you gotta give Aaron and the others the chance, right?

[@mattp620]

Love this so much and congrats!! Your work is incredible everyone is so friendly and inviting it’s like sitting down with friends you’ve never met. See you all along the way to 1000!

[@wyatth2992]

This game is currently being delivered to me! I plan on taking it on the family cruise next year. It looks like it will provide some good-natured fun onboard😃

[@thelupishow]

Just wanted to say congrats on 500!! I've been watching from almost the beginning and love what you guys do, You've also been responsible for many many of my game purchases through the years and helped shape me as a gamer. So thank you for all the amazing years of content and for all the love and joy you put out to the world. ♥

[@seanmolloy4636]

The first thing I do when I get a board game is to see if you guys have played. Like Nikki said reading and teaching the rules is a tough skill so you folks make it so easy on us! Thank you very much!

[@jerseyj2]

Congratulations on 500 shows!!! I’ve loved this show for years and this is easily now my favorite episode! I love the open conversation at the end. After watching so many episodes, you’ve sort of become “friends” and it’s awesome to learn even more about the people you are. Thank you so much for all the effort these shows take!

[@jahniedez6834]

I've got plenty of nerdy, board gaming moments but one of the most recent is my home brewed version of Mmm! by Reiner Knizia (your playthrough video helped out IMMENSELY). My version was Adventure Time themed and it was all about rescuing candy people. The board hung on the wall and the pieces stuck to it via velcro. I would love to see Lincoln's home brewed Survive copy... Anyway, great episode guys! Man, the Big 500!! I've been following this channel from its earlier episodes and it makes me so happy to see it continue and grow... how about another 500 ;-) ? Congrats everyone!

[@badlands9991]

500 episodes 🎉🎉🎉 thank you and congrats!

[@joelface]

1. I have come to absolutely LOVE watching GameNight. My first episode watching was TEN, a game I was very drawn to but needed help understanding how it actually felt to play, and searching for a "Let's Play" came across the channel. You were all so warm and inviting and I was soon hunting through your channel for other games that looked fun. I am definitely late to the party, but so proud of you all for this momentous occasion! 2. Green Team Wins -- I wasn't sure I'd really like this game, because it doesn't seem totally fair -- and simply trying to write "the most popular answer" seemed a little boring. I actually like that you have to try NOT to do that in Just One. However, seeing you play it here, I got it. I would love to give it a try now! And you're right that you almost have to realize that the game is the experience, not really the winning or losing. Same is true of the game Wavelength, I've found. 3. I LOVED seeing Deborah on GameNight after she joined the Dice Throne Missions play-through recently, and here she is again tonight... and I just have to say, she shines so vibrantly and her love of games and of "fun" is so contagious and reminds me so much of why we're all so in love with this hobby. What a special person, and I'm so happy to see her here!

[@KrashmanVonStinkputn]

Congrats! Thanks for helping fill up our game shelf.

[@RobotButlerJ]

Congratulations on 500!!! I am such a huge fan of yall!! I cannot wait for the next 500!

[@raynbow10]

Congratulations to everyone at Game Night!!! It's by far my favorite biard game show! I found your channel during the pandemic and now have my own board game collection and introduce my favorite games to my own group of friends. Its been fun introducing my friends to board gaming and using your videos to teach most games!

[@boardgamegeek]

Awesome! Thank you! -Lincoln

[@catherinetaylor556]

Congratulations and thank you - you have all really added to my enjoyment of the hobby and I have loved watching all the videos. I discovered hobby games in 2017 and have been a fan of the show pretty much since then.

[@boardgamegeek]

Thank you very much! -Lincoln

[@deathsyth27]

Wil Wheaton got me to in this hobby with his Table Top Show. But I have added more games to my collection after watching your videos than any other show. Your video format is better than anyone else. Congratulations on 500!

[@chaddy0101]

Congratulations on 500, you have no idea how many games I have bought from watching you all teach and play. My absolute comfort series, I look forward to every Thursday for a new release. Hopefully many more to come. Here's to many more. Well done on 500 🎉❤

[@Kamakazeh]

thanks for 500 wonderful episodes. and thanks for all the live streams too. bring on the next 500!

[@samtanner3748]

Congrats on 500! You all are amazing for all the work and time you put into all of this, and we're all grateful! So many good times, games and people 😊

[@m.g.9537]

Thank you so, so much for all the joy, silly games and true show of friendship. You are the BEST!

[@diegonarambuena3225]

I love this show, lately didn't got the time to take a break and it makes me missing a lot of the incoming things like Deb show on Demiplane but I think you are doing an amazing show presenting boardgames like you do, is really thrilling and hope soon I got more time to buy the ones I fall in love with and play with my game group, big love to you all and congrats for your 500th episode, Abrazos enormes desde Chubut Argentina

[@Warriorking.1963]

Congratulations on reaching your 500th episode. And what a good one it was too, I really, really enjoyed it and also the reminiscing after the gameplay was over. I would share this bottle of Champaign with all of you to celebrate this great achievement, but seeing as you're in LA (right?), and I'm in Northern Ireland, I'll just empty this bottle myself on your behalf! 🎲🍾🥂

[@bayareamasto]

Lincoln, you got me over here crying my little eyes out. Keep up the awesome work!

[@JohnRock176]

Thank you guys for so many hours of fun. it's comforting to watch your videos, you're like friends already 🙂🙂

[@tjholm]

Just found your channel a couple weeks ago and now I’m like Deborah how she was a big fan of the show and was binge watching only!

[@PlayerOnYourLeft]

Congratulations on 500 episodes, team. You guys are my go to for learning how to play games - and you always make me feel like I am right there at the table with you! Looking forward to 500 more. :)

[@EnterMyNameHere]

- Tell me you're not a gamer without telling me you're not a gamer. - Lava levels are worst than water levels. 😂

[@scottdumont5935]

Thank you guys so.much for putting these out. What Nikky said really hits home for me. I was no longer able to play video games (they now make me nauseous for some reason) and I thought maybe board games could replace them. I was SUPER intimidated by the "smart" people who are board gamers. Somehow I stumbled onto you guys on KZbin and immediately felt more comfortable. I have since found a local group and we get together on a regular basis. Here's to MANY more episodes!!!

[@themattanda5458]

"This should be a really fun hobby and more people should do it and not be afraid of it" - Nikki That's exactly what this show has done for me! Encouraged me to pick up so many new games and try them out with my family! Thanks for making it so accessible, enjoyable to watch and fun! Congratulations on 500!!

[@arvydasXIII]

The greatest show on KZbin. Never stop.

[@jamesshaw5847]

Great show guys. Love watching from the UK. You have helped me navigate the hobby and I’ve purchased too many games because of your shows!! 😊 Keep up the great work.

[@ThomasLiljeruhm]

I've bought many games after watching your episodes, including Just One, The Mind, Next: Station London, Inside Job & Sides. I also really appreciate the Deborah episodes a little extra.

[@fredrikjonasson5529]

Is it really 500? 😮 Amazing! You guys are doing a great job! 🎉

[@netbreed]

The thing that makes GameNight stand out for me is that it's just a bunch of friends playing games together; no hammy bits to camera, no manufactured tension, no grandstanding. The show is a relatively recent discovery for me having gotten back into proper board games only this year, but it's clear you only play games you're interested in, and only with a group you're interested in playing them with. We buy collective family presents every year for us all to enjoy, and thanks to GameNight there'll be a bunch of board games rather than Harry Potter Lego sets under the Christmas tree this year. Congrats on 500!

[@BoardGameCasualChannel]

Great playthrough! When I saw this game on sale for $7 on black friday, I bought 6 copies as gifts/stocking stuffer for people! 😄

[@princeflame295]

Thanks so much for all of your content. I’ve discovered so many board games that I play with my friends due to you all! You’ve also helped me during some lonely moments in life by making me smile and laugh. Here’s to 500 more!

[@harleygrattan2851]

Congratulations on 500 episodes. It’s clear, Game Night Wins!

[@antonette8009]

Congrats on 500! lotsa love from Canada. so much fun to watch and I've learned so much about games. and have been able to play and introduce others to the games I've seen on here (I pretend I'm like Dave when I'm teaching the rules :P) . amazing stuff tbh

[@boardgamegeek]

Dave is the best. Thanks for the note and for watching. -Lincoln

[@JimmyWorld]

Thanks for all the entertainment over the years 🙂

[@zinho73ninguemperguntou]

Oh, boy. What to say? Thank you guys for all the fish.

[@schoko-fan4370]

27:25 I am with you Dave - OMG I am old 😂

[@marquonuk]

Here's to the 1000th! I'll definitely be along for the ride. Thank you all - those there in studio and all those away - for creating and participating in GameNight, which I know will involve far more work producing each edition, before, during and after, than we viewers will be aware of. Long may it continue, as you never fail to brighten my day. :-)

[@acpudman]

Congrats on your 500th

[@adrienned1yt]

Congrats on 500! I've enjoyed watching you all and love the format of the show.

[@boros55]

Thx very much for every of 500 episodes! you are just great crew. I am looking forward for next 1000 or more! 🥳

[@jocathyn]

I love you guys! Keep on doing it for more and more! Long live Game Night!

[@markp1359]

Congratulations. Love the show, the interactions, rules explanation, they way you all help each other during gameplay, makes me feel like I'm there

[@lindseyziegler9869]

Definitely thought of red five standing by as well!

[@efratb4058]

Congratulations! What a milestone Love watching you every week, and looking forward to more great episodes

[@1truechic271]

Just watched this, looks so much fun to play and a great mix of BGG folks. And congrats on 500 streams! So enjoy watching your videos.

[@lucasvalente3175]

It would be really cool to see this wonderful group playing "A Fake Artist Goes to New York", published by Oink Games, just like they did with "Deep Sea Adventure", from the same publisher. Hugs from Brazil! 🇧🇷❤

[@sonyal3212]

Yeah for 500 episodes! 🎉 I have loved them all! I’m so excited to see more. I have purchased so many games from watching you guys and the fun you all have playing.

[@jeffyoung5923]

Outstanding. Have loved all we’ve watched. GameNight! and DateNight have all been enjoyable. I’ll be a geek and say congrats 🎉on your “D” episode. Look it up.
