Really enjoyed this! Glad you engage with the community so much. I like both live Q&A's and filmed, so would be cool to see you do both from time to time. Obviously live is more chaotic, but not having to worry about editing is always a plus.

[@srebme2]

Thanks for answering my question. Woot! Woot! Excited to have the chance to meet you at Level Up!

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

I'm so excited! 😊👏🏻

[@vayuhezequiel]

Thank you for the great Q&A! And for the reminder to look into Hadrian's Wall, Concordia and Tapestry! xD

[@rolling.reggie]

Fun video! So great to learn more about you. I am around 120 games and think 200 ish is my cap too

[@anikdoucet6240]

Anik from Wonderworldgames 🙋🏼‍♀️ thanks for answering my question ☺️ so fun getting to know you through those videos ! Your videos is my guilty pressure after I put my son to bed hehe!

[@tfpp1]

Please let us know your in-depth thoughts on John Company when you get around to it. I've been obsessing with the notion of possibly maybe getting it, but I can't decide if I'm ever going to play it or not haha

[@ThymeKeeper]

Thank you for answering my question :). I was totally referring to people on the Internet treating you with kindness. I know it's healthy to ignore that stuff, but it does make me sad when people who are trying to bring happiness to others get crapped on by the Internet.

This was so enjoyable ^^ I relate to so many things you said! We have way more things in common than I thought lol. I hope we can run into each other at a convention one day! Do you ever go to conventions/events in the US?

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it Belle! 🥰 I will be going to two US conventions! Level Up Retreat and Gen Con! Would love to meet you one day and play games! 😊

[@TimChuon]

YASSS I was waiting for this one!!!🎉

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

Did my answer surprise you? 😏😂 Thanks for the question Tim!

[@TimChuon]

@@TheBoardGameGarden HAHA! Tapestry (even if it isnt first first) kinda did but HW YES i was definitely expecting that one! love it 👏👏👏

[@annacox27]

Omg I thought you looked familiar! When I used to do more planning back in the day, I watched your main channel!

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

NO WAY! 🥰👏🏻

[@shadowops62]

Get yourself an airbrush so you can prime minis indoors during the winter months.

[@FostertheMeeple]

If you need me to help you set up some airtable stuff you just let me know! ha I thrive on being ahead of schedule 😂

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

I started using it once I saw your vlog actually! It's been a game changer! Thank you for introducing it to me Jamie! 👏🏻

[@theGreenKnightXXVI]

Have you considered giving the "A Song Of Ice And Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game" (aka ASOIAF) a try? Although technically a miniature game, I think it can crossover into boardgames because pretty much everything you need for an army comes in a starter box. If you decide to review ASOIAF, that would be cool!

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

I have not but I will definitely have to look into it! Thank you! 😊

[@kevinmace]

What is the Marcus Aurelius quote?

[@Roy-mx2bz]

I think it's this one: "You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength."

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

Roy is correct! 😊👍🏻

Hi. Maybe I missed it but what do you do for work? Are you working in the board game industry?

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

Currently I am trying to focus on this channel full time! Would love to eventually get into the board game industry though. 😊

There is an Animal Crossing Monopoly.... I own it

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

I've definitely considered buying it! 😂💕

[@kimh8907]

@@TheBoardGameGarden : I think it’s one of the lowest rated board games I own on BGG a lol I didn’t think it was that bad. Definitely some Funko and Harry Potter games I have that are so much worse.

[@PwnageEngage]

oof dat bicep. You work out?

[@shortydancer]

It’s just naturally like that from lifting heavy Kickstarters
