Plus a giveaway if this video hits 1000 likes, because why not. Dying for that amazing Wingspan insert, dice tower and deluxified bits? Today's the day.

My granddaughter would love the Wingspan bits. Thanks for making this video.

[@eliSBSCSD]

I am enjoying this series. A member of my gaming group bought a 3D printer last summer and we have been experimenting with upgrading some of our gaming experiences. I love how deluxification enhances the tactile feel of board games.

[@BoardGameCo]

I just got a 3d printer....so that will be it's own little episode at some point :)

[@threhane3492]

Chai Tea For 2 has definitely been added to my list of games to watch! Thanks. I'm always looking to upgrade the games that I enjoy. Great video!

[@michaelJ34]

Who doesn’t love a deluxified board game?? It just makes the whole experience better.

[@kl1thedominion]

I love the way deluxified components, done correctly, just add so much table presence to a game

[@tymoore253]

I love the deluxification of games! I actually bought a 3D printer just to do upgrades and it was totally worth it!!

[@Mr47the]

What printer did you buy? What qualities are necessary for board game 3d printer?

[@TomerK]

The Wingspan ones look amazing,and they DO blend nicely with the theme and art of the game.

[@BoardGameCo]

Yes!

[@AmstradHero]

Deluxified components are fantastic, and I do like seeing these cool things you've gotten for various games!

[@BoardGameCo]

Thanks :) And yep, it's fun to see what's out there.

[@Tyfighter247]

BoardGameCo continuing to kill it with these videos! Always manages to peak my interest.

[@BoardGameCo]

Thank you :)

[@yvetterodriguez4387]

I love watching your deluxification videos. Seeing a picture of them is not the same as watching you handle them in your videos. It makes me want to make my board games more pretty. :)

[@jdthiemann6927]

I’ve recently gotten into upgrading components in games I really love. It’s hard to describe how nice it feels setting up and playing with “classed up” stuff!

[@jaydestone54]

LOVE Wingspan! It took a bit to get my game group into it, they don't care for Solitaire-esque engine builders. They prefer more player interaction, but eventually they gave up the fight and now we enjoy reading the facts on each card as the birds join our aviaries.

[@marybethboyd]

Those dice trays look super nice! We love our neoprene ones from Chip Theory!

[@johnathanrhoades7751]

Chip theory has some crazy nice production...love their Too Many Bones!

[@zacharyhale4235]

Deluxe is just one of those words that suck me into buying things I don’t need but I love it.

[@Steezishxx]

Like #992! We are so close fella! I am not one to comment on videos but I would like to say that you have become one of my most watched board game content creators this past month. You tend to pick interesting topics that nobody else is really talking about and I appreciate not watching the same video through 10 different content creators eyes. I am all about deluxe board games so the two videos surrounding these have been great and I look forward to more. A large part of the experience of board games is the tactile experience. Any time a deluxe game is shown I am automatically interested. Keep on keepin' on 🤙

[@marek7696]

It's either the breadth, or the depth. More different games, or less games, but more deluxified, the ones you deeply explore. Can't have both. The judge is table time. Greetings from Poland!

[@murph-4]

Nice vid! I like seeing new dice options and stuff, and wingspan looks super fun

[@stevevids1]

Thanks for sharing the Wingspan upgrades. It's my wife's favorite game, so now I know what I'm getting for her birthday!

[@zincmessenger]

Enjoying the variety of videos!

[@boardalmighty3843]

Love the backlighting in the shelves behind you!

[@sylvieroets4214]

Great review about deluxified components. Since we have already a nice collection of games, I also started to deluxify the games we play most, so it is nice to see more bits and inserts. Greetings from Belgium

[@BoardGameCo]

Greetings!

[@shaunpentecost]

Those wingspan bits are purty 🤩

[@lordfood]

Thanks so much for taking the time to put put all your soooo valuable content and sharing it to all of us!!!

[@valerieglee]

Really like these series of videos!! I love the deluxification of board games! Thanks for the content

[@jinx8279]

Nothing like a nice Boardgameco video to start the day. Have a great weekend Alex!

[@fabianmugny2428]

I am intrigued by the Chaï two player game, those dice trays look awesome! Can't wait to hear your review.

[@GabeLogan202]

Another great video by one of the best around. Thank you Alex for you dedication and passion. Bravo.

[@TheJonesturtle]

Thanks for the contest. Love all your videos, especially your focus on value

[@vukovlahovic7076]

Really appreciating the upgraded setup you have! When you lift the tokens to the overhead camera, and seamless editing of transitions between cameras, very smooth. Well done!

[@erikhoog8961]

Really like your video’s Alex, keep up the good work! Love what you are doing for the community.

[@beneisen6982]

Deluxified components really do add to the immersion of the game. They usually have a nice tactile feel. I think Vast did a wonderful job with giving players the choice with meeples, standees, and minis for all the components by the same creator.

[@rafelsv4844]

Wow! I love your channel! I see the amount of effort you put into your videos!

[@ericgershon9495]

Thanks for sharing the various upgrade components!

[@PhlioNihm]

Wingspan is one of the family favorites in our house!

[@BoardGameCo]

Nice :)

[@liamrobinson6226]

Great video as always. Those wingspan upgrades are 👌

[@boardgametime3727]

My goodness I need to get my hands on those deluxe wingspan components. So so pretty. Thanks Alex!

[@oliverjest]

Looks amazing! I would love to give this all a go.

[@cheise79]

We love playing Wingspan! These deluxe upgrades would make our experience even better.

[@aric5530]

Great highlights of deluxe upgrades and components.

[@RAPHBENOIT]

Always love the deluxification of board games; please keep these sort of videos coming!

[@aguilarc62]

I've played Pandemic and Wingspan 1-2 times. My friends weren't into those themes. I'm not into the hobby as much now. It's still nice to watch these videos every now and then.

[@ryangilmore3678]

New to the channel and new to board gaming, but I'm hooked! You provide excellent and varied info that's very helpful to the newer gamer getting into this world.

[@do_hickey]

Yesss keep making these videos. My rapacious consumerism and desire for nice things greatly outpaces my salary, so these videos allow me to live vicariously through you.

[@basukijuwono295]

Loving the upgrades!!

[@mark.physique9119]

Those deluxifications for Wingspan look awesome! Keep this kind of videos coming! :)

[@SideGameLLC]

Ooooh the resource bits are so nice. I love when these components elevate the art.

[@stacie_everdell]

Love seeing 'deluxification'...especially for Wingspan. Thanks for this video!

[@ricardp60]

Great video Alex. Thanks to bringing our attention to game upgrades. Love the fact that you put timestamps and links to various pages related to what you mentioned.

[@popsycle3352]

Thanks Alex! I like adding deluxe components to my favorite games. Great work! I enjoy watching your videos and they’re very helpful. Hope you get a thousand likes!

[@emilbermanec1235]

Those wingspan bits are adorable! Especially the little worms :D

[@JonoNZBoardGamer]

Great video as usual Alex!

[@nathansutterfield]

Love the idea for the Deluxifaction series. Keep up the great work.

[@Jamehz]

We've played 100s of Wingspan games - it's awesome, and 3D printing bird tokens instead of cubes as well as food holders makes it all the better.

[@dirtcarver9990]

I always love seeing how wooden inserts fit into their boxes, it's just so cool how creative people can get with the designs! Personal favorite is the broken token's Gloomhaven insert.

[@Sebastian-rt9qf]

Those wingspan meeples are quite an extra. Really, those replacement tokens are truly tasty.

[@BoardGameCo]

They're excellent :)

[@jacksonmillard7598]

Great video! Really appreciate your insights and opinions.

[@djaydre2003]

You have been my board game guru and i started into the hobby a little before the marvel United KS and have been going strong because of you ! Thanks

[@chrispoon933]

1K likes - done! Loving the high quality, thoughtful content, man. Keep it up!

[@BoardGameCo]

Awesome :)

[@nishant_kumar]

The wingspan bits look absolutely gorgeous. 😍😍😍

[@danielshanks8297]

Love these videos! Like quality upgrades :) good to know what’s out there.

[@katart90]

Awesome! I usually deluxify my games when cool upgrades are available. I think those dice trays look great!

[@stevemeekins1543]

Backed this project… Great to see some of the products.

[@mindyfranke5279]

Hadn't seen Chai for 2 before, but I'll definitely check out the review. Nice dice trays in them. Loved this upgrade components video. Good luck to everyone if the giveaway happens. Have a great weekend!

[@crunkfist]

I bought Roll Player with the Monsters & Minions expansion from your store and was super excited to find that it came with a custom box organizer! I’ve played it several times already and I’m sure it’s because of it being so easy and fast to set up and put away. Thanks for the great content, all of the board gaming KZbinrs have really helped with getting me back into gaming and curating my collection of new games!

[@mattfikes9680]

As I've gotten older I've come to appreciate having fancified games. My first one was TtR 10th Anniversary, a gift from my wife. So if anything, I can blame her for putting me on this path!

[@edwards2011]

I've just started to appreciate deluxe games. Thanks for the content!

[@Rufiy0]

Thanks for doing this deluxe component for Wingspan!

[@timcheetham2953]

A regular run through of deluxe bits for games is definitely something I’d watch

[@markpenna7403]

I agree! I like this addition to the other regular content.

[@pedrozuchetti8413]

Oh boy! Deluxified pieces are everything!

[@nighthunterz00z45]

Oh my word!! I love these deluxe pieces for wingspan! We’ve never been able to justify a full all in deluxe style pledge for a game. But a wingspan one would be awesome! Thank you Alex!!

[@fabulisa1229]

Meeplesource has the best upgrades bits. Thanks for putting these on our radar.

[@aaroneastwood9789]

It is satisfying to watch and hear all the bits fall

[@MrJake193]

Gotta love deluxe peices! Great video.

[@Allanq69]

I love that wingspan copy! It looks so beautiful!

[@Appleknees]

Thanks for covering the wide variety of subjects behind board games and the Kickstarters around them.

[@15vamps]

I do enjoy these deluxification videos - keep them up :)

[@dannyverbraeken7729]

When upgrading your games with some deluxification, they give a new experience when playing. Abstract shapes become more meaningful.

[@Onyxinka]

Coffee - READY Headphones - READY Your Video - READY Good, now to have a good time :)

[@BoardGameCo]

You had me at Coffee.

[@ELMQ]

Mom's spaghetti

[@Viragomp]

Great, entertaining video as always and I'm watching during lunch at my preschool, lol. 😄 I am way too into component upgrades and your Wingspan set is gorgeous!!! 👀

[@andys9576]

Always nice to watch your videos, thanks

[@guandjs]

Very cool segment! I do love cool items esp metal coins and beautiful shaped elements.

[@JosephDeRubeis]

It always impresses me just how much deluxified components can improve the whole experience. I have a hard time resisting upgrading a game to the best version of itself.

[@kal033]

Keep up with the discussion videos on this immense hobby!

[@Cornchps827]

Upgrades for games that look beautiful already seem to actually add to all the visual and textile feel to a game. Especially one like wingspan that’s really just a tableau building game. Love the channel Alex!

[@andydb5512]

Glad you finally got round to the deluxe component video. Hope it becomes a regular section 😎

[@eortli1]

I wish I could afford more deluxifications. Your love for the games you own shines!!!

[@samh62695]

Ohh those wingspan bits look so good!

[@kheleb42]

Been loving your videos and was just looking at my Marvel Champions and your timing on showing off the Marvel Champion upgrades is perfect!!!

[@CarlosMartinez-rt3qt]

Those Wingspan bits look awesome! We are just getting into board gaming and my little girl loves playing Wingspan. She always makes the birds talk to each other. I can only imagine what she would do with actual bird shaped tokens.

[@MrMikythewar]

Well, i love those wooden inserts, and also the bird tokens OMG

[@BoardGameCo]

Yep :)

[@ea_gaming]

Love deluxification, and meeplesource makes great stuff! Their provisions for the west kingdom games and their tokens for dwellings of Eldervale are awesome

[@kelseyjohnston1071]

Component upgrades really help games IMO so I appreciate you covering them more. :)

[@tupile]

Lots of beautiful components

[@annaison2245]

Love your channel, love deluxification (so hard to resist) - Wingspan looks awesome ;-)

[@cgrice1971]

Great video as always, thanks!

[@marshall4311]

Those Wingspan bits look great. With these bits and the Wingsong app, this game could get even better than it already is.

[@mrjspancakehouse]

So I’m primarily solo and have a small collection since I’m new and let’s face it how many solo games can one have! I’m just starting to slowly deluxify my “forever games”.

[@danielkeim8558]

I LOVE WINGSPAN. Thanks for the giveaway Alex!

[@Ravnkel25]

When I first got into the hobby, I never thought I would ever upgrade a game, instead of buying another game. Now I'm nearing 100 games and start to understand the reason for the upgraded parts market.

[@kukurukuru04]

Love Wingspan!!! And man that insert would help it get to the table even faster!
