You have to know alot about swallows when you're king. Such a great movie.

[@leovincent6461]

Thinker Themer is great and so is Before You Play - very cool that you kind of have a community of board gamers - sounds like living the dream! PS - this episode was a little hilarious - thanks for that. PPS - I most looking forward to Floe and Set a Watch - which already came out.

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Yes, all awesome people, and awesome creators! 😁 Thank you for watching 🥳

[@lionheartxiv]

I really enjoy your videos. I appreciate how real you are. It makes me laugh.

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Thank you so much! It’s fun to be able to be myself and then have people enjoy it 😀

[@RainwaterGames]

You are so fun to watch. You have such great chemistry. I love you guys so much!

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Thank you so much! Means a lot 🤩

[@greglevy4770]

Maybe one of those games is coming by European Swallow, instead of the more robust African Swallow. Always enjoy your videos. Interesting look back to what you were excited about at the time and how it played out - at least for those that DID arrive.

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

I am still excited about all the ones who didn’t make it yet 🤩 Glad you’re enjoying our weird little board game corner on the internet!

[@nchlsrdmr]

Cool video but will be better when you've played them all! My most anticipated games of the last year or so: Barcelona - so-so Darwin's Journey - so-so Nucleum - so-so Federation - amazing Ezra & Nehemia - not yet received Zhanguo - bad Nova Roma - so-so GWT NZ - excellent So I've mostly been disappointed! But I feel I'm getting harder to please these days, haha. But there have been some surprises from games I didn't expect that were fantastic: Shipwrights Redux Ra

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

I agree! Maybe we’ll have to do another one in a year 😂 Sad to see you didn’t like some games I love, but as long as you have great games you do love, I can accept it 😂 We just played Ezra and Nehemiah for the first time, and enjoyed it! Will play more, and then get out a review!

[@nchlsrdmr]

@@BoardGamingRamblings yeah I saw on your insta. Looking forward to seeing the review!!

[@theSolemnBard]

That pigeon business was hard to swallow

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Hahaha 😂

[@aricin6180]

Haven't you heard? 😧The cake is a lie... 🍰😬 Also, I would love to see the pigeons carry Frosthaven! 😄🙈

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Now I want to play Portal again! 😂

[@St_M_]

My biggest surprise in this one was... how Sunniva is apparently able to curl only her pinkie finger when counting to four. I'm pretty sure that's illegal somehow.

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Haha, I had to try this after reading your comment, and it is indeed impossible!

[@thijsschipper6406]

Wait, that's not standard?

[@KennethChile]

15:26 hahaha :) my list is the exactly the same too, but a little different: 1. Frosthaven 2. Darwin's 3. Horsless Carriage 4. Septima Never played el burro :(

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Hahahaha! 😂 El Burro is great! I reccomend it!

[@nirszi]

The best game to me on that list is Darwin's Journey, my second overall favorite from last year. I have Septima but haven't played yet and I want El Burro mostly because of your excitement of it. Horseless Carriage is my biggest disappointment. I also played Pampero once and even though it wasn't bad, I'll sell my pledge without opening it when it arrives.

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Sad to hear that about Pampero! Fingers crossed we’ll like it better! Thank you for watching :D

[@steliospapadopoulos4099]

What about a list of anticipation of games that you didn't play? Would like to see for 24

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Great idea! I will keep it in mind! :)

[@La_Segua_Games]

Septima relates to 7, btw. Not 6 🙃 6:20

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

When I watched it back, I was thinking «Septima has to be some kind of number» 😂

[@guisshe]

Love u guys! Colombia say hi ❤

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Hello back! Thann you for watching! 🤩

[@El-gu2hi]

my unconscious mind wants cake

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Hahaha! It should get cake!

[@emmalind4484]

You haven't won Darwin's Journey yet, huh? ;)

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Haha, I think I did once 😂

[@Mokkel73]

Or Mindbalonely!

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Even better!

[@rafiweiss3915]

Spoiler alert about the number of spoiler alerts in this video.

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Hahaha 😅

[@Mokkel73]

MIndbalony!

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Haha 😂

[@icex7312]

Resorting to “not, not” jokes now? Was that the only ad-lobbed portion of the post? I love Splotter, owning five of their wonderful games, but it’s usually just me & my wife, so Horseless Carraige is out (as was Bus before that). Looking forward to more “scripted content”.

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

We never ad lib for real! Everything is scripted! Bob wouldn’t want it any other way!
