[@coyotemoon722]

I've been bitten by the button shy bug. I keep collecting and playing them. They're so great.

[@xmac21]

You should 100% record a video where you and Jeff play every single one of these. Like a Button Shy Games Marathon

[@FostertheMeeple]

I love this idea!!

[@redsable1434]

Would love to see 👀

[@TravelingForward]

So glad you are enjoying the games Milan and I have designed together, Jamie! Our next game is a slightly bigger (but still family-weight) board game from 25th Century Games, “Agueda: City of Umbrellas”, coming to Kickstarter next week!

[@malvinafis6907]

ROVE is really great and thinky. I love it!

[@rolling.reggie]

Sounds awesome! I love Skulls of Sedlec, played it on the beach in Punta Cana during my honeymoon 2 months ago ❤

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks for making awesome games for us to enjoy!!!

[@rolling.reggie]

“Button Shy full on game day” is a MUST. I’ve played 3 out of my 4. PS as your favorite resident birdwatcher, I definitely need to get Forest Sky.

[@christophersimons8900]

Our favorites at 2 player - tussie mussie, circle the wagons, hierarchy

[@MrRudyRiot]

Great video! Been waiting for this one. I really need to take the plunge a buy a few of these.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Yes!! The best part is they are so affordable!!

[@roberttsikretsis5014]

Never heard of these games. I am super interested as I have a huge collection of board games which take an enormous amount of shelf space. These games look very interesting with minimal shelf space required.👍👍👍

[@drewhead1292]

Thanks for showing the complete collection...I now have 39 button shy games on my wishlist... :) you helped me add a few extras today. I jumped on the Numbsters campaign too so I have that, Food Chain Island, Skulls of Sedlec, Ugly Gryphon Inn, and more coming my way soon!

[@FostertheMeeple]

LOL Love it!! You have some of the best ones already!

[@newguy2878]

Great video thank you

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks!!

[@sharonp1460]

Wonder Tales and Moving Pictures are awesome!

[@FostertheMeeple]

I have Wonder Tales on the way!! Moving Pictures is one I'm really interested in too, maybe that will be my next order ha

[@bettermoodboardgames]

I'm here for when you do the Button Shy Binge!

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

There's never enough Button Shy!

[@redsable1434]

Totally agree !!!!

[@FostertheMeeple]

NEVER ENOUGH.. NEVER NEVER!!

[@paulaperry4193]

Thanks Jamie, just ordered UGI, Rove, and Wildtales and their expansions. Can't wait. Oh and just got Friday to play today, on Friday Have a great weekend!

[@FostertheMeeple]

AMAZING!! I hope you love them all!!!!

[@moo422]

"Why I Otter" ( why, i oughta ... ) is the first game, followed by "An Otter One" (an other one)

[@gcanceko]

Love your videos! My current favorites are ROVE, Royal Limited, and Tussie Mussie (solo). All three have outstanding art, very different and thinky gameplay, and lots of replayability. I'm excited to try Ancient Realm, At the Helm, and An Otter Won (non-solo!).

[@FostertheMeeple]

Hope you enjoy them!! Let me know!

[@ScottPetersonPhoto]

Try Moving Pictures. It's a 2 player coop game that is puzzly and feels like it's a relative of The Mind or The Game

[@kimoro9643]

you’re missing Stew, that’s my favourite one! I also have Tussie Mussie but would love to add more :)

[@FostertheMeeple]

It's been sold out, but I really want it!!!

[@dizzyduck1725]

I placed an order with Button Shy after watching the Twitch stream this past Saturday. I can’t wait to get it!

[@FostertheMeeple]

YAY!!!

[@natrc4593]

I think you would like Circle the Wagons too!

[@Warriorking.1963]

Living under a stone, I only just heard of Button Shy about a week ago, but I really love the format of their games. I've sent away for Mint Julep and its expansions, hopefully the postie will be bringing them tomorrow, because I really enjoy horse racing themed games. You had ordered Mint Julep when you recorded this, did you play it yet, and if so, thoughts and opinions would be much appreciated. You have a really nice collection there. and it's probably grown since, and those bags are a great way to store them. I wonder are they available on their website? Great video, really enjoyed seeing your collection, and hope you've posted a few playthroughs of some of them.

[@jenadams3026]

I ordered Ugly Gryphon Inn today. I’m hoping it arrives before I leave for a cruise on Saturday.

[@jessismith]

Button Shy is difficult to get where I live, so I’ve downloaded the PnP version of Food Chain Island today. Looking forward to playing, such a cute little game. Thanks for the inspiration. ❤

[@FostertheMeeple]

Hope you enjoy it Jessica!

[@dannyp3333]

Great video

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks!!

[@Thebrad11984]

I don’t think I could play en vino morte without quoting Princess bride incessantly. Inconceivable!!!

[@FostertheMeeple]

😂😂😂

[@spielmill1755]

We love Button Shy!!! We've been patreon backers for years and have most of their games. We were inspired by you to work on our button shy shelf, or rather box, of opportunity!

[@spielmill1755]

I went and made a list of all our BS (hehe) games and expansions after I commented and we have 125! Stared working through them with Squabbalin Goblins and Forest Sky last night!

[@FostertheMeeple]

amazing!!!

[@FostertheMeeple]

@@spielmill1755 125???!!??? I'm so jealous!!! haha

[@malvinafis6907]

Fishing Lessons looks so fun. I really liked the stream and would love to gove it a go.

[@malvinafis6907]

I wish I could get one of the baggies. And a bunch of more games. But they are kinda expensive to import. :(

[@FostertheMeeple]

It's really fun and adorable!!!

[@redsable1434]

My favorites include circle the wagons, sprawlopolis, at the helm, food chain island , arcane bakery clash, wondertales, skulls of sedlac, tides and tussie mussie. I store mine in ammo cans it fits about 35 wallets . I have 3 of them full lol.

[@FostertheMeeple]

I really want At the Helm but it's been sold out 😭

[@heatherdash5815]

I'm already up to 15 button shy games... They are so addictive

[@FostertheMeeple]

They REALLY are!!

[@erinholt5420]

I’ve become such a big Button Shy fan thanks to Michelle and now you! My favorite is Food Chain Island and Sprawlopolis. I can’t figure out Unsurmountable lol I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong or if my brain just doesn’t get it lol

[@FostertheMeeple]

It actually took me a little bit to get that one too!!!

[@thecultofpop]

I have 6 games and zero overlap with you (except one you have coming). Shows how many good Button Shy Games there are. I have Circle the Wagons, X Files Circle of Truth, Ahead In the Clouds, Suplex Wrestling, Anthelion, and Potion Class (which you have coming).

[@gurnblanston2848]

I bought my first Button Shy games at PAXU in December (I also got one of those sweet little pouches for them), and at the time, felt like I was buying a lot with the 8 I picked up. Ever since, I've been kicking myself for not buying more. If we make it back to PAX this year, I will be buying every one they have that I don't already own. ROVE and Food Chain Island are my favorites so far.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Oh I know!! I think there were like 5 I didn't get and I have regretted it ever since 😂

[@dabruuzer]

Just tried Shades of Ink. Pretty amazing experience!

[@FostertheMeeple]

It was really different and interesting!!

[@JonTripp115]

I'm just testing the Button Shy waters; I only have Death Valley, Rove, Skulls of Sedlec, Sprawlopolis, and Tussie Mussie. I've only played solo Sprawlopolis so far, but it was quite good. Looking forward to trying the others!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Ohhh you got some really good ones!!!

[@jamesmorgan1967]

Jamie, have you not played the classic Circle the Wagons? Has great replayability. I also love Skulls of Sedlec (you should try the solo mode), Sprawlopolis, and Death Valley.

[@FostertheMeeple]

I have played Circle of Wagons when I visited Michelle and it was great! I need to get it!

[@sroswell22]

You NEED to be in their board game of the month club. I just got numsters and it’s amazing!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Unfortunately I can't be because I'm Canadian 😢

[@sroswell22]

Omg I forgot they only do the us. How tragic! Maybe you could have it shipped to an American friend and they could send it to you or you could pick up when you visit? It’s very worth it for the discount if nothing else when you’re an addict lol.

[@matthewzahnzinger]

I'll be really curious to see how you feel about Wildtails by the end. My partner and I played it together, and LOVED the first... roughly half of the whole legacy campaign. The later levels for us got a little mean and a little arbitrary compared to how it started out, and the upgrades didn't feel like it brought an equal amount of mitigation, and ultimately soured us on the overall experience. But, hoo boy, did it start strong!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Ohh interesting!! I'll have to give and update when I finish

[@jonathanantscherl]

As with all of us Jamie - the collection expands at a pretty exponential rate when the cult has indoctrinated you lol. Would highly recommend at the helm and revolver noir out of the ones I don’t think I caught during my watch/listen. Have a cracking weekend! J

[@FostertheMeeple]

I really really want At The Helm but it's been sold out 😭

[@robrattley3902]

Definitely play skulls of sedlec solo. It plays pretty much identically to the mutliplayer game. Loads of variety with the different structures you have to build and rules that can trip you up!

[@FostertheMeeple]

I loved it at 2 so I just assume I will love it solo too!

[@cashliam]

My fav is Circle the Wagon

[@FostertheMeeple]

That's a great one! I don't own it but I have played it!!

[@brianb5145]

Naturopolis? I'm waiting for that kickstarter campaign to fulfill soon.

[@FostertheMeeple]

I missed out on that one :(

[@sroswell22]

I feel like you two would like arcane bakery. We like it a lot! Kind of mean short little two player game.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Mean short 2 player game?! I'm putting it to the top of the list 😂

[@misterjerkface]

I have my Fluxx-sized games stored in an old CD tower!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Such a good idea!

[@newguy2878]

How many games can you fit into one of those bags?

[@FostertheMeeple]

I think around 15ish!

[@amandahector7675]

Where can you buy the bags from?

[@FostertheMeeple]

Jamie got them from the convention!

[@davidweatherbee808]

My top 5 Button Shy 1) Skulls of Sedlec 2) Revolver Noir 3) Tides 4) Circle The Wagons 5) Death Valley Haven’t played Battlecrest yet and a honorable mention Moving Pictures

[@FostertheMeeple]

Amazing! I'm really excited to get Tides and Revolver Noir, they should be here soon!

[@krystalfromny]

Have you played the x-files one yet? What are your thoughts on it? We have it but haven't played it yet.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Not yet! But we are hoping to play a bunch of our unplayed ones soon!!

[@weaktoad]

I blame Jamie for why it's taking so long to ship my Button Shy games! 😜 I just wanna play them so bad!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Merited!

[@seraphiccandy21]

" This is how all the games come, in a little wallet" Except that in Europe none of them come in wallets and just in small boxes that are to big for them. And the cards rattle around sadly...

[@FostertheMeeple]

Dang! I guess it’s good we don’t live in Europe
