Not really a board game enthusiast but looking at the production, editing of your vids you guys DEFINITELY deserve more views than this. Its up to par with other board game channels out there.

[@BoardGameHangover]

We really enjoy creating videos and reading comments like yours is the best reward we can get! Feels great! thank you!

[@Wrycon-Inc]

More gentle velociraptor shrieking in the reviews is always appreciated. 🦖

[@BoardGameHangover]

More to come!

[@joshuawestlund]

You two are hilarious. Genuine friendship chemistry + rapid fire jokes + insightful commentary + great taste … many wictory points to you both ❤❤❤

[@chrisdotter5127]

Have you guys ever considered recording you two (and maybe friends) playing some of these games?? I know us, the viewers would LOVE it

[@BoardGameHangover]

Hey! We've considered it for a while, but are struggling a bit with time and finding the right way to create them. We'll hopefully be able to upload some playtroughs next year :)

I laughed so hard at the screaming letters joke. :D :D :D

[@verdynius]

Your videos are the highlights of my weeks recently. Like back in the days, when each week you waited for your favorite series to continue on TV. Keep up this awesome work you are doing!

[@BoardGameHangover]

Glad you like them! We love making them :)

[@manovega29]

Thanks for the awesome breakdown, glad you liked it! I was scared to depth it was going to be too simple ;)

[@BoardGameHangover]

Hah, good one ;)

[@veryclevernick]

You guys are hilarious and quickly becoming one of my favorite board game channels!

[@BoardGameHangover]

Thanks Nick, glad to hear it.

[@mirkosrndovic]

I laughed so much and this is so Must Have review. Btw, still singing the "You can't shave on Mars, there's no technologeyey" song! ❤

[@kmontzka]

Lots of good laughs in this one 😂 Thanks for that and another solid review. Just saw this at my FLGS and it looks even better in person. Adding to the holiday wishlist

[@BoardGameHangover]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@thebeehive23]

Thanks for the awesome review!

[@BoardGameHangover]

Thanks for watching.

[@mitari8690]

What a great review format! So funny

[@BoardGameHangover]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment.

[@mike9139]

YOU ARE BOTH AWESOME! ❤❤❤

[@KPiccolo89]

Great review. I'll have to get this when my niece and nephews come to visit us. Looks really nice. Looking forward to dead dragons.

[@BoardGameHangover]

The dead dragon expansion gives quite a twist to the game... :D

[@Rominil]

I was in the fence about this. But now I’m 100% in! This looks so fun!

[@BoardGameHangover]

It's really simple yet has tons of choices. A great family game!

[@171QA]

I just played it recently after getting the standard edition for my birthday and everyone had fun.

[@BoardGameHangover]

We did too! :)

[@lorelielomaloma6569]

the screams of the dying letters…

[@ewok-breath]

Word challenge for you 'twelfth' 😉 Great review as per usual, good to see Janis sing this time, and cracked up with the sound of dying letters 🤣

[@BoardGameHangover]

I'll make sure to challange Janis in one of our podcast episodes for sure! /JT

[@janisbernans6541]

Fantastic game, maybe even a must have! This is going to be at least a nominee for next year's "Spiel des Jahres" (or Kenner spiel), calling it first :D I understand why Janis said that you should get the deluxe game, because it does look nice. However, I disagree that you have to get it, because, in my opinion, it's not worth it. As a family game, you don't want it to be crazy expensive. But deluxe costs more than twice the retail. My first Flamecraft game was with a deluxe game and oh boy, it looks amazing, and I was afraid that I will have this "missing" feeling about my peasant (retail) version at home, but I don't. The retail version is awesome as well, and when playing you don't even notice that components could be fancier. Of course, it's nice to have cute minies, wooden tokens, and coins but, the game looks fancy even without them. Great review, keep it up!

[@BoardGameHangover]

Agreed! If you're ok spending more to have fancier pieces then go for the delux, but it's not necessary to have a great time with this game

[@ewok-breath]

Another Janis?

[@xeferial]

My Kickstarter copy came today, I'm so excited to play it!

[@BoardGameHangover]

you're gonna love it!

[@kevinfer6253]

I love the "deluxe" of the game and this video. Thanks for the content, I love all the de_th you guys provide. De_th...depth! 😁

[@BoardGameHangover]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@3LANCER]

I think this game will be a big hit among jrpg fans due to its lovely art. Just got my copy and couldn't stop "awwww"-ing at all the illustrations, and bits, and cards, and that rollout map!

[@BoardGameHangover]

Visually it's really stunning, you're right!

[@jadedjames7584]

Hello boys, another awesome video that was very helpful and funny. Has inspired me to pick this up but now I’ve seen a deluxe version………… I feel a pronunciation segment maybe required! Lol Thanks boys.

[@BoardGameHangover]

Thanks for watching and commenting ;)

[@eastargamemanufacturing6914]

Thank you for the introduction to Flamecraft, of course, in my opinion, it is indeed very suitable for family members to participate together. In addition, it is also a particularly healing game for children.

[@BoardGameHangover]

Indeed it is.

[@ameenpirasteh333]

Just got this game as well! We love it!

[@BoardGameHangover]

So wich one is your favorite dragon? Chonkers is already taken!

[@ameenpirasteh333]

@@BoardGameHangover potato! It’s one of our dogs names so I am biased towards that. Chonkers is up there though!

[@thesolitairegambit2556]

You guys are so amazing and funny! Love your videos. Flamecraft is definitely a great family game and a good game to introduce to non-gamers. I actually disagree with you guys about the Deluxe edition not being necessary, for this game, it does make a difference 😍

[@BoardGameHangover]

Thank you so much! No doubt the delux version adds a lot to this game

[@moncilu]

You guys are the best.

[@BoardGameHangover]

Awww, shucks. Thanks so much.

[@MrSu13lime]

the letters erasing 😂

[@bestatstartrek2179]

On the fence about this one. Could be a play twice and done game like boonlake

[@BoardGameHangover]

In our experiance it's not the case. It's so light yet challenging that after all these plays we still want to go back in. But it always will depend on players preferences and also the alternatives you already have at you disposal

[@jeffcarrier9808]

Had to look up the game, Base game 37CAD, not bad! How about the premium items? Coins 18CAD... Dragons 18CAD... resources 18CAD... Ouch. It's nice to have the choice I guess if I can get my hands on perhaps Just the dragons.

[@BoardGameHangover]

Delux version is nice to have, but is not a necessity you'll enjoy it either way

[@craigandrews7544]

Thoughts at 2 players gentlemen?

[@BoardGameHangover]

It's best with 3, but 2 players is great as well. No real complaints :)

[@thebluemeeple]

Haha, Flame..crap? You don't want to mistakenly spread a meme do you? :)

[@olivierjodoin2283]

Batteries not included 🤣

[@soundsgood9417]

😂death!

[@rolandoa.valenzuela2756]

STOP KILLING THE LETTERS!!!

[@kosterix123]

No

[@BoardGameHangover]

Why not?

[@kosterix123]

@@BoardGameHangover you can't proclaim FC to be the best bg for families. It's too messy for the average family that struggles with Rummikub. I played FC with gamers and I found it an okay game. But for what it was, moving your meeple (that looked like a dragon but wasn't called a dragon) to add cards (that weren't a dragon but were called dragon cards) and gain fiddly tokens to complete cards that require fiddly tokens on a central display, where you're delivered to luck and what other people blocked is not something that I'd call addictive. For a kickstarter, which is usually crap as first edition it is well produced. But for set collection Ra would be more of a success, because it looks simpler. FC isn't particularly cute w.r.t. everdell for example. I won't say ED is a good game, it's a single deck with all the problems that come with that, but it's more pleasant to look at and has more wooden meeples and is richer yet accessible.

[@danacoleman4007]

I feel like this is not your best work, gentlemen.

[@BoardGameHangover]

No worries. Can't hit the mark everytime! Let us now what we can improve upon

[@evgenidimitrov7790]

Game with zero theme, and average gameplay which is relying on the art.
