This is straight up free therapy for board game hoarders 😀And man, you guys are setting the bar for humor done right - not the usual cheesy & cringe stuff. Hope to meet you one day in Essen - greetings from Romania!

[@BoardGameHangover]

We will be there this year, so who knows, you might get a chance.

[@davidautinify]

my own "not enough room, must purge some games" existential crisis rapidly approaches, so i felt this.

[@BoardGameHangover]

Good luck friend! You will need it.

[@michaldurovic]

This was one of the funniest videos of the year. 😂👏 I will watch it again in the evening, you made my day, thank you. 🙏

[@BoardGameHangover]

Thank you for the great comment ;)

[@michaldurovic]

@@BoardGameHangover You are welcome. 🙂 Any chance to meet you at Essen Spiel this year?

[@JTilaks]

​@@michaldurovicYes! We'll be there and are planning to maybe do a supporters gathering if there are enough people interested:)

[@michaldurovic]

@@JTilaks That would be awesome! 😁 I will be there the first 2 days. Will you make some post about it or should I go to Discord?

[@JTilaks]

We'll make a community post when we agree on the details :) @@michaldurovic

[@ashe666]

Now that the collection is more tidy, we need a Janis board game tour!

[@BoardGameHangover]

That is a nice idea, we will consider it.

[@ashe666]

@@BoardGameHangover I understand if he is still too emotionally devestated.

The new shelf looks soo good 👌🏻 Very impressive, Jānis, bravo! 👏🏻

[@BoardGameHangover]

Thanks.

[@moncilu]

Fun video, love it! Lovely home and hard task. We all need a JT in our lives to help make the tough decisions.

[@BoardGameHangover]

Indeed we do!

[@RamyASMR]

This was one of my fav videos this year!! Can‘t wait for the next vids!!

[@BoardGameHangover]

Thanks for the support and great comments.

you guys are the most fresh and entertaining youtubers about board games, keep up the good work! Greetings from Argentina!

[@BoardGameHangover]

Thanks so much! And greetings from Latvia ;)

[@RTYB]

Ahhh, the classic "I have to play it one more time (to fully understand it and then decide)", made me laugh so much 😂.

[@Sarefus]

Loved this video! Guys, hands down, you have to play Hegemony. It just blew me away. Playing as the capitalist and charge way too much for food was a little too satisfaying 😅

[@Jsleezy_2000]

So funny. I’m going through the same thing. After watching this I guess I have no excuses. I might start this weekend. 😒

[@BoardGameHangover]

Be strong! ;)

[@SaintSpenstar]

7th Continent needs to stay. Don’t you get rid of it! 😂 That game is huge and fun, but I reduced space with a card storage box… so storage was easier 🙌

[@sborbu]

Amazing video! One day is going to be my time, and i am feeling that moment is closer!

[@IndianaGeologist]

I loved this video. Keep sharing any purges you guys do

[@BoardGameHangover]

Thank you! Will do!

[@andredavids9324]

You guys are awesum! Love all your content. Top notch like always with so many funny (but true) moments!

[@Ivytea]

now we need a run down of what games you kept!

[@reksilog]

12:05 laughed out loud 😂 funny video and so relatable

[@kelvindoang1228]

thats best friend right there playing devil's advocate saving him the divorce

[@stacie_everdell]

This was so painful to watch. You can see the sadness on Janis' face and in his body language. I feel bad when this happens to people. Being forced to cull their beloved game collection because others don't appreciate the hobby. Games are such a joyful and happy experience for me, it would feel the emotional impact if I was forced to get rid of them.

[@BoardGameHangover]

In the end it was not so bad. I mean, I freed space for new ones ;)

[@juvigoat2168]

Super-duper channel! Stumbled on it while I was looking for Return to Dark Tower reviews so I’m checking out your content. I really like the high production quality with down-to-earth delivery, the informative and thoughtful opinions, and the funny quips. Either you were hiding or I just got out of the cave…

[@BoardGameHangover]

Welcome! It might have been us in the cave ;)

[@juIesWRLD]

great video guys! I'd really like to see a review of some of the older games in your shelf like combat commander for example. Also liked to know what your thinking about about too many bones :)

[@benjaminbaker4168]

Good on you! I feel like I need to do this. But, man alive does it seem tough.

[@philzphil]

😂😂😂 Gorgeous!! Best video you ever made!! 😂😂😂

[@BoardGameHangover]

Thanks so much!

[@thebluemeeple]

What a bittersweet but liberating feeling to purge your collection. Sad to see Nemesis (I think) not making the cut. It was one of your must haves! I just got a copy and looking forward to play it. As for a boardgame review request I would like to see Hegemony or Tiletum next!

[@regor1124]

you guys are too damn funny! This also made me realize my shelf space is almost maxed...eeek!

[@perspicacioussimpleton7288]

Damn, seeing Concordia there hurt, but I understand if it's not your cup of tea.

[@academychamploo758]

I'm loving Janis G.'s haircut! Looking good dude!

[@BoardGameHangover]

Thanks so much! And now excuse me while I blush. /Jānis G.

[@ВолодимирКоробка-п5р]

This is the most cruel video on the channel so far😂 Feel the pain with every game taken from the shelf😅

If only you were closer in the US, I’d buy sooo many of those you were getting rid of lol. Actually, probably a good thing you aren’t lol

[@DeepFriedDave]

Wow, got rid of Concordia eh?

[@Musashi0777]

Verrrry nice🎉🎉🎉! 😂 Now get rid of 7th continent, it is funny and well designed … but playing it is boring with thousand of better board game you would rather play without the heavy heavy cards admin and the absence of narratives … and get back Star Wars rebellion!!! It is sooooo better! 😜 (needs to go back on the top ten 2player games of alllll time!)

[@BoardGameHangover]

Will do :)

[@RAPHBENOIT]

Review Hegemony!!

[@RAPHBENOIT]

oh, and TMB : Unbreakable!

[@BoardGameCo]

Marvel United hurt. Not gonna lie.

[@BoardGameHangover]

It just somehow did not latch onto our gaming tastes. I am very sad about it, but the good news is, it now is going to someone who can appreciate it more.

[@mikemczeke]

Keep the wife happy!!!!

[@ASADcz]

Did you guys get rid of Nemesis? HIW dare you?!?!?!?! 😡😆😐

[@fazdeone]

Maybe this is just me, but I wouldnt be happy with that Alien Board Game sticking out on the edge. Perhaps thats just my OCD but that is not neat in my books. Needs to be replaced guys....!!!

[@jimalexander687]

Glad to see you kept "Here I Stand" and "Virgin Queen". I'm dying to play both. Will likely never play either. The bane of most board gamers is lack of persons with whom to play the games we want to play. If we all lived near each other, things would be much easier.

I have a very clingy and soft spot for games I own (Board Games or Video Games). I hold on to them usually due to sentimental values, sentimental by mean my engagement with the game and to myself when playing them. This is a hard watch but was really funny 😂.

I totally get that, some of the games I have kept are exactly for those reasons.

It's an addiction. I have 196 games and 26 I've not yet played. Kinda madness. I've got a 4' x 2' metal shop shelf 5 shelves. I polished the galvanized steel and it's deep enough to put 95% of my games in, library book style, on each side of the shelves. I don't have enough years left on Earth to get serious use out of them. all.

My one year anniversary in the hobby is coming up and it has to be the day I also stop buying games. I must have at least 30 unplayed games and I have about eight kickstarters coming over the next year and that’s more than enough.
