"You planned a sacrifice game" 😂

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

Haha, I admit nothing! (But maybe...) 🤣

[@mazman9355]

13:10 "....because you care" 🤣🤣🤣

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

That's Billie 🤣

[@michellecioppa9152]

Have a great beach vacation! This video is totally me when I’m packing for the beach. You never know what you’ll want to play!

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

Exactly! You need options!

[@gachzorge]

I always like to pack my game bag when traveling. I usually bring the big version of Azul, with all the components in the bag and the boards in a stable area of the bag. Then I like to fit more games in one box. For example I have Codenames: Pictures, Bang the Dice Game, and Sushi Go Party all in the Codenames box. I also brought Heat over the summer by putting all the cards in one box, and the rest of the components in a separate area of the bag. The boards were together with the Azul boards. Magic Maze is also a good game box that I like to stuff with other small games. Each box gets really heavy though!

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

You have to use all your space wisely! Sounds like you have a good system.

[@malvinafis6907]

Beach house sounds fun! My family never wants to play as much as I want. But that's ok. I can do Sudokus with my mum.

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

That sounds fun too! I always bring more than we play lol

[@corinnajuras-tabletopsavants]

We recently went away to a lakeside cottage for a week with family (aka nongamers) and we brought a literal tub full of games (25, most of which were mid-weight bigger boxes and only one was a button shy), we also bought 5 while on the trip. Never too many games!

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

It's even more important to have choices when you have non-gamers! You need to see what mood they'll be in!

[@jamesbrazeal3847]

ButtonShy games .... count as 1? They take up the space of one but each game can be very rich and fulfilling. So I think each ButtonShy should count on its own.

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

I agree that they're each full games! But if I argue that they're "one" because they fit in one bag, I get to bring more!

[@sroswell22]

Omg this is me. I’m going to Disney where I will obviously be too tired and too busy to play a single game. But I currently have about 15 put aside to be packed 😂

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

You always need the option to play! When are you going to Disney? We're going soon as well!

[@sroswell22]

@@SecondStartotheLeft this weekend! What about you?

[@jonathanantscherl]

Man I bet Chicken! Really screws with your packing situation lol.

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

Tubes! They don't fit as well 😃

[@tlpint]

LBI? Spent my summers one block from the Custard Hut. Haven't been in a few years, but need to get back. But I feel like Beacon Patrol is on my "must bring" list.

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

Beacon Patrol seems like the right choice to me! We have been going down to LBI for the last 25 years or so. My husband always went as a kid. Love it there.

[@H2G24life]

Great video. Im with you Michelle, you need options for any mood. We went to Nova Scotia for a week and filled half a suitcase, played only Azul travel but still worth it.

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

You only played one but you had choices!

[@H2G24life]

excatly! have a lovely beach week!@@SecondStartotheLeft

[@stacie_everdell]

The debating between you and Billie is so funny! I feel your pain, Michele. I gotta say, I NEVER feel like I packed too many. I have felt like I back too few....just sayin'! 😆Bringing games to learn is always fun, imo, when traveling/vacationing. Billie's 'push your luck' at the end...love it! Did it work?

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

Even though we only played about half, I still argue that we brought the right amount! 🤣

[@stacie_everdell]

Absolutely, no doubt, 100% agree 😆

[@sarahschreffler5407]

I'm learning Spanish. Here's another language. "Gracias por ver"

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

🧡

[@sarahschreffler5407]

I took three days on a two night campout. I played one and brought two out (Turned out to be too tired to learn new rules for SUper Slopes.)

[@sarahschreffler5407]

(The game that actually got played is Grove --sequel to Orchard -- which I was really surprised not to see.

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

It's always funny to see what gets packed and what gets played!

[@dennisdonetti1675]

How did you determine where to put the battling with Billie time stamp. That could cover most of the channel.

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

It is tough to choose 🤣

[@Poiuytrew.Q]

Ohh what was the deck box you used for Lorcana?

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

Those are lovely deck boxes that are made by someone at our FLGS
