Hey Dave, it was great meeting you. Thanks for taking the time to play a few games with me, hope to see you at the next one.

[@BoardGameDave]

So great meeting you, Adam! And I'm so glad we got to play a few games together, too! ☺️ Do you have any other conventions lined up for this year?

[@adamjc9167]

@@BoardGameDave Unfortunately, nothing on the horizon. Hopefully Level Up does another event in the summer again close by I could attend.

[@garytheosophilus]

Nice upgrade to the set 🎉 Great gift for a loved one Hannah. Love the reaction Dave.

[@BoardGameDave]

Thank you so much! It's so nice, right? ☺️ And it was such a wonderful and meaningful surprise from Hannah! She's the best! 🥰

[@karenpatterson2651]

Looks like you had an amazing weekend full of lots of gaming adventures and fantastic conversations. And Hannah has created a perfect recording space for you. I especially love the colour of the wall and the lights.

[@BoardGameDave]

Thank you so much for your comment! It really was such a fun, encouraging, and inspiring weekend! ☺️ And she did such an amazing job, didn't she? I love the wall color so much, too-I couldn't have picked a better color! I'm still shocked at how "legit" the videos look now! 🤣

[@DaleKeefer]

My wife just walked in at the end and excitedly exclaimed "Heyyy Board Game Bob!" (she's not good with names)

[@BoardGameDave]

Hahaha! 🤣 That made Hannah and me laugh out loud! I take no offense! ☺️ Thanks for checking out the recap, Dale! Wish you could have been there!

[@DaleKeefer]

@@BoardGameDave haha that's great! Glad you had a good time. I can't wait for the next board game con.

[@BoardGameDave]

@@DaleKeefer It was awesome! When will I see you next, do you think? You doing GenCon this year? PAX Unplugged?

[@DaleKeefer]

@@BoardGameDave definitely origins. I might skip gencon this year just because timing is tough. I'd really like to get back to WSBG again.

[@BoardGameDave]

@DaleKeefer Nice! Origins is tempting because it’s during the summer so I don’t have to take off I’ll look into going this year! ☀️ WSBG was fun, too!

[@howiedoit6494]

I can't believe you have never played so clover before. I think you and I played monikers that one time at Rock Lititz with some people. You were a party gaming machine at this convention. Brownie points for Hannah.

[@BoardGameDave]

Isn't that crazy? It's such a good party game! 🍀 And I do remember us playing Monikers at Rock Lititz-I think my sister was there, too! You've got a great memory! 🧠 And yeah, I think I'm often more inclined to play the shorter/lighter/party games at conventions as opposed to the heavier games just because of the setting!

[@allison2525]

Great job, Hannah! I love the paint color. Thanks for the video, Dave, glad you had a good time!

[@BoardGameDave]

Right?? I love the color, too! It makes for a fantastic accent wall down in the basement! 🎨 Thank you for your comment, Allison! I appreciate you checking out the video! ☺️

[@lincolnhoffamn5103]

I love lost ruins of arnak probably been in my top 5 for over a year. I will say its one of those rare games thats best with expansions

[@BoardGameDave]

Nice! Yeah, I'm not typically one for expansions but after playing the base game five times now I'm really eager to see what the expansions have to offer! Sounds like I'll get a chance to play with the expansions with my friend Gary soon! ☺️

[@dimmok8344]

Lost ruins! We definitely need to play it with the expansion. You can borrow my Wyrmspan for the comparison. And yeah the set looks great and definitely beats the white background. Great Job Hannah!

[@BoardGameDave]

Yeah, I really want to play it with the expansion(s) now! I'm a big fan of Arnak all of a sudden-isn't that weird? 🤣 And that would be amazing if I could! I'd like to show Hannah and maybe some other friends who have played Wingspan before! (Maybe I could reimburse you with the metal coins? I'm assuming you didn't get them?) 🐉 The background looks SO good, right? She did an amazing job!

[@Melsboardgameroom]

New setup looks great

[@BoardGameDave]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@polifonica_]

I love your hability to comunicate, so sweet and clear. Great great video! ☺️

[@BoardGameDave]

Oh goodness, I really don't know about "sweet and clear" but I am trying my best! Thank you for the kind words-I really appreciate that! ☺️

[@polifonica_]

@@BoardGameDave Haha, maybe those words sound weird, ‘cause my main language isn’t English (is Spanish, I’m Argentinian) but hopefully you get the message 🫣☺️🤭 love the new set, Hannah is amazing.

[@jamesbrazeal3847]

new set looks fantastic

[@BoardGameDave]

Thank you so much, James!! ☺️

[@jamesmorgan1967]

今度レベルアップに行ってみようかな。。。🤔 Sounds like a fun weekend! Maybe you and your content creator friends should do a biannual meetup or at least a zoom call so that you can talk shop more often. I know from personal experience how enriching and helpful that can be. But...can we talk now about that space? It looks really sharp. I like the color choice for the wall because even though it's a darker color, the lighting (and the style of the fixtures) make it feel cozy and inviting. (Good job, Hannah!) I'm curious about the objects on the wall. (Is that a retro camera behind you?) Do they have personal significance for you? And...since it looks like the rest of your basement is unfinished, I had an idea: You could build a giant arena and have some mega Strike matches down there. Think of all the fun! 🤪 Anyway, thanks for the recap; I really enjoyed watching this one.

[@BoardGameDave]

ジェームズさん、ぜひ今度レベルアップに来てください！☺️ It was such a great weekend! And you're right-having a regular meetup or Zoom call together would be so much fun! Like you said, it's really nice to talk to other people who can understand the same sort of struggles and challenges in a way other people can't! And thank you for the compliments regarding the studio space! Hannah did an absolutely fantastic job-you're right! The objects on the wall are a mix of odds and ends from around the house but the camera is a recent addition! It is a retro camera that Hannah found while she was out thrifting this past weekend! 📷 I love the idea of turning the entire basement into a Strike arena with giant dice! I actually have a 6" or so giant die I got at Five Below... it'd be expensive but so much fun to get a bunch of them to actually play Strike with! 🎲 Imagine going "all in" with an armload of giant dice! 🤣

[@garyhuber6325]

Hey Dave, love your channel! Quick question where did you buy your original backdrop? I’m looking for something for my channel/social media posts. Thanks!

[@BoardGameDave]

Hey there, Gary! I got the original backdrop on Amazon and it worked out pretty well for a few years! ☺️ Here's a link to the exact product: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KY8MQG9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
