Two conventions in two weekends? Yup! We’re talking about my fantastic time in Chicago at ShyCon - the Button Shy Convention. I had an absolute blast - met great people, ate great food, and played lots of great games.

I love this so much! Your story on how you ended up in Chicago by making a silly video a couple of years ago! Life is so crazy! It is shaped by the decisions we make in the moments and its an amazing journey. I am so glad you and Billy decided to make that video! You both have made a such positive impact on so many for many reasons! I can't wait to meet you guys at a Con one day and play some games ! I will be at Dice Tower West in March, put it on your calendar 😊. Oh and you guys are the ones that really fueled my addiction to that little Button Shy game wallet with 18 cards! I have so many 😁! Keep up the great work!

Thank you so much. We are so lucky to have met so many amazing board game friends even if we haven't met them all in person...yet!

The intro changed! ShyCon looks like so much fun. I really would love to be closer to ButtonShy.

It did change! Thought it was time for an update! I am very lucky to live close to Button Shy!

Always love a good Parks and Rec reference! Sounds like Shy Con was a great time! I need to get Forest Sky.

Forest Sky was definitely a happy surprise! Parks and Rec is one of our all time favs here!

Might have to put ShyCon on my list! Nice video. I am so excited to get my Gamefound soon - i backed Forest Sky and Circle the Wagons.

Had a great time! And you chose two of my favorite games. Can't wait to hear how you like them!

I agree I wasn’t a fan of Lasagna Pie when I was in Chicago. Give me a greasy NY slice any day!

New Jersey pie is the way to go!

I have never played any Button Shy games. I hadn't even heard of them a few weeks ago. But now I'm REALLY interested in getting Desert Pack and... The Galapagos one. Was it Exploring Galapagos? It's good to see that you had fun in Chicago and a more relaxed weekend than the week before. I'd love to visit Chicago myself one day. I want to see a Bears game and try deep dish pizza.

Yes. Exploring Galapagos. Such a pretty game. I love Button Shy. I can always throw a few in my bag and then I have games everywhere I go!

I put a lot of intense thought and strategy into In Vino Morte. Works well with new players, not sure it would fool an experienced Button Shy crew.

I am fairly sure you could fool me 😉🤣

My Father’s Day request this year was to go to the OPH in Uptown Dallas and get a Dutch Baby! Soooo goooood Did you play Forest Sky with the Open Air expansion cards? I’m a fan of the nests!

@SecondStartotheLeft 10 ай бұрын

I have the Open Air expansion here but we didn't use it at ShyCon. I am going to have to try it out! And that dutch baby was a perfect Father's Day request!

Great look at a bunch of games. I'm trying to get into some solo games. Any from Button Shy you can reccomend?

@SecondStartotheLeft 10 ай бұрын

ButtonShy has a whole line of Simply Solo games as well as a number of others that an use an expansion to be solo. I would check out Numbsters and Food Chain Island to start. I made a solo games video you can check out as well if you'd like!

@kkfowler87 10 ай бұрын

Thanks for this video - I just found out about Button Shy from Jamie (Foster the Meeple) when she mentioned it in one of her Gen Con videos! While I've only been into the hobby couple years or so - I've never heard of them. Are there one or two games that you would recommend getting from Button Shy as a start? Thank you again!

@SecondStartotheLeft 10 ай бұрын

Button Shy games come in all genres! If you like solo games, check out Numbsters, Food Chain Island, or Skulls of Sedlec (although you need a small expansion or the Dig and Write card to play Skulls solo). For 2 player, Circle the Wagons, Skulls of Sedlec, Tussie Mussie (which also has a solo expansion!) There are so many to choose from!
