While the "out" player sets up the next game on the other side. That way each of you plays 2/3 games. Everyone gets breaks. Someone can keep the food stocked. Breaks for bathroom without issues.

[@LightandFire676]

This is an awesome challenge, and insane. My game collection is under 100, and I would consider it an achievement if I played every single game in a year. Some questions, though: You mentioned having to be in rule books a few times, but 203 is a TON of games. Did you do a lot of rules study before hand, or are you that familiar with your collection? When covering your whole collection in a week, were there any surprises? Games that you realized you need to play way more often, or ones that could maybe be dropped from the collection? Is 203 just the count of 2-player possible games? If not, how do you not own any games that require min 3 or more people? And if so, how many games were left out because of this requirement? Anyway, this was a really cool vid that turned me on to yall's' channel.

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Hey Light! Thanks for the wonderful comment! Ok so to answer your questions: 1. We spent around 2 months prepping, which was presetting games, and refreshing on all our rulebooks that we needed to. Though we are generally familiar with all our games. 2. We wouldn't say any "surprises" just a lot of "oh man I LOVE this game! It's been a while since we've played it! We need to play this more!" And nothing that we really felt the need to cull afterward. 3. There were around 12-15 games we couldn't play due to player count if we recall correctly. Thanks again for the awesome content! Welcome to the family!
