[@TheBrothersMurph]

First of all, way to be spot on with the impersonation of us. It was like looking in a mirror. Second, it's like 65 degrees in my garage and I'm literally dying right now. SO COLD. Ok now on to my pick for winner. I meaaaaaaaaaaaan. This is tough. There are arguments to make for either of you winning. On one hand, I like Jeff's picks but then, ya had to throw Twilight Struggle on there. Boyeeeee you out. Jamie wins.

[@FostertheMeeple]

DING DONG YOURE WRONG

[@TheLobbyOfHobbies]

I just started watching. Already knew what Jeff’s #1 was going to be, but of course Jamie in typical Jamie fashion hate drafts it with her #1 pick!!!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Of COURSE she did

[@wayner7263]

Lol

[@Paper_Smith]

Just watched Jenna and Francis do this on the board game garden!! They carried around their dog for most of it haha next video you gotta carry your big ass doggo for the whole thing 😂 work those biceps lol

[@FostertheMeeple]

Hahaha that would be a sight

[@MrJossVideos]

Dominant win for Jeff. Baseball and Root all the way.

[@FostertheMeeple]

LETTTSSSS GOOOOOOO

[@JonTripp115]

"Who uses the #1 pick to hate draft?!?!" -Jeff, like 2 years ago. Shoulda been prepared for that maneuver.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Preach my man, preach

[@rekakristo986]

Hey Jeff, both your cubicles were great, too bad Jamie did not want to participate in this challenge! 😁

[@BillyIndiana]

I usually try to support you Jeff, but Jamie got Res Arcana and Brass! I don't think I can let that slide. You almost got me back with LOTR: Confrontation but Wingspan Asia and Cascadia then One Ring... she crushed it👍

[@FostertheMeeple]

Billy. You’re tearing me apart

[@christopherleary7934]

Going with Jeff as #1 but Jamie's choice of a standard deck of cards was fantastic. I'm super impressed with how much y'all stuffed in each of your shelves.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Haha honestly, I’m impressed too

[@TheBrothersMurph]

K-lax you guyyyyys life's a beach anyway

[@fpsthepr0468]

Jeff.. and the only reason is that clutch move on the LOTR Confrontation! I must say tho.. Jamie killed it on her picks! You guys rock!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Haha thanks!! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Also we absolutely did not go to the wall we stayed in the cube Jamie out here blatantly trying to cheat

[@FostertheMeeple]

Her lack of integrity knows no bounds

[@billable1861]

16:07 I wasn’t expecting the taunt response in song

[@anbattisti]

Loved Jamie's singing of the Arthur Song Jekyll and Hyde! Not many people know that song!

[@FostertheMeeple]

That one and “library card” are staples

[@erictighe2381]

This video was awesome but Jeff takes the cake! LoTR the confrontation, Root and Baseball Highlights!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Slam dunk really

[@JakeJackPot_]

YESS! I was really excited for this one the moment I saw the Brothers Murph do this. The moment Jamie opened with Res it was a good video, loved it all!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Haha she weaseled me Jake

[@shawnhilliard]

The eye brows at Jeff's "gives us another inch!" 🤣🤣🤣

[@FostertheMeeple]

Hahaha I died when I saw that

[@arkastit]

ohh i felt that res arcana for jeff

[@kylehynes2888]

This was highly entertaining. I died laughing the whole video especially at your nick and Mike Californian impressions. Both of these cubes would be a great collection. I'll side with Jeff on this one. Much love to both of you and appreciate all that you do!!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks Kyle!! Appreciate you!

[@josiahcarranza6181]

I'm surprised Jamie did not pick Villainous at all!

[@wesstover3135]

Jamie has the best overall shelf IMO. I did think Jeff packed in some decent play with hanabi, 6 Nimmt and town 66

[@HkJimmy]

Gotta give it to Jeff! Cartographers and Confrontation with Alice is Missing is big combo. I think Jamie would have one with a racing game but Jeff wins by a nose!

[@FostertheMeeple]

YESSSS LUIS

[@TheWalkerhm]

Gotta give it to Jeff! Love the video! Do more of these, they were fun to watch!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Glad you enjoyed it Don!

[@malvinafis6907]

This is a close one, but I think I have to give it to Jamie. I am so hyped for Turing Machine. And Res Arcana, Cascadia and Brass are amazing. Also, ROVE and Friday are great. I am sad that I missed out on Food Chain Island though.

[@lukepickles5099]

Well… guess I have some new board game content to be following. Awesome stuff you guys! Love the vibe between you two

[@FostertheMeeple]

Ehhhh thanks for the kind words!! Happy you found us!

[@lukepickles5099]

@@FostertheMeeple happy to be there! SO to the Murphs and Rodney for pointing the way!

[@andrewjohnson5550]

Very good back and forth banter. Couldn’t decide who to give it to…was leaning toward Jeff and then Jamie closed the video out with a little JB tune so the winner is Jamie! 🎉 Excellent and entertaining you 2!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Glad you enjoyed it Andrew! Thanks for watching and commenting

[@WalkSteady]

It was close, but if I had to choose a collection as my own I’d choose Jeff’s by a hair. Fun video. Thank you!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Woohoo!! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@boardtoplay]

Jenna Rose needs to take note! Jeff droppin the rules, you can’t take all the button shy games😂

[@FostertheMeeple]

We will make sure to tell her!

[@clairemack2750]

Jeff's little boxer dance before the first game is chosen gives me the giggles. He says, "I got this, I got this."

[@clairemack2750]

Also, Jeff's sneezes are apparently hilarious because now I have two small boys fake-Jeff-sneezing in the next room 🙄😂

[@clairemack2750]

Now for the vote... I'm split because Jeff took Cartographers and Scout, but ultimately I'm going to have to side with Jamie because I'm just not into the war and conflict games. If the three of us were marooned on a desert island, Jamie would get a yes more often than Jeff. Sorry, bud.

[@FostertheMeeple]

You have two very intelligent boys who likely picked me. As for you picking Jamie Claire? I’m not mad. Just disappointed.

[@clairemack2750]

@@FostertheMeeple Yeah, I get that a lot. Sorry, Jeff. Stop picking war games ;)

[@natrc4593]

haha I love how Jeff was already outraged at Jamie's first pick 😂 you both picked some great games but I think I have to vote for Jamie's shelf!

[@FostertheMeeple]

She was being a demon! RES at 1!! WEASEL move

[@BoardGameBlitz]

I loved the hate drafting! This looked super fun! It's hard to pick which shelf I like more but I think I might go with Jeff's. I wanna see what I would fit in a Kallax shelf but that requires clearing out a Kallax shelf first...

[@FostertheMeeple]

Do it!!!

[@nataliejohn4243]

I think I’m gonna have to go with Jamie’s on this one. 😍 Too many faves in there!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Disappointing choice, but I understand

[@thisvampireheart1]

As a Californian I approve the impersonations lmfao

[@FostertheMeeple]

Haha glad we nailed the accent

[@boardtoplay]

Jeff won it for me! Some top tier drafts there👌also bonus points for roasting those sweater and toque wearing Californias when it’s tshirt and short weather there! “It’s liikee 80 degrisse out”😂

[@FostertheMeeple]

You get me. Thank you

[@GabeInTheTube]

Love the picks… but where’s Silver Bullet ??? Weird shape box but could have been the killer pick ! 😃

[@jamessmith1274]

Jamie has the better shelf for a wide variety. Jeff has a lot of great games as well. Loved this video!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Glad you enjoyed James!

[@skiswope]

Such fun to watch. Tough call. Jeff ekes it out.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Great choice Matthew!

[@dannyp3333]

this is an interesting video concept

[@anikdoucet6240]

Jeff looks super pump for that challenge 😄

[@FostertheMeeple]

Like rocky!

[@ericcorson1436]

Whoa! At Jamie’s first pick I knew she was up to no good. Res Arcana? Jeff, I felt the pain from that back stab. Before I watch anymore I suggest you just pick Disney Villainous.

[@DioneN]

I know she likes Res Arcana but Brass🤔 I will have to see how the rest of this pans out ha.

[@FostertheMeeple]

SUS

[@LePinkCanary]

#1 is Jamie's - there are just more games I am interested in playing. But Jeff's shelf is a perfect reflection of his style. We don't have Kallax for our games but now I want to see what my game choice would be if I could only keep what fit inside a medium moving box.🤔

[@FostertheMeeple]

You should do that! Haha

[@EM-pn5kq]

I thought I would be voting Jeff, but I think I have to go with Jamie

[@matthew_w_]

This is super tough! Jamie has Brass (my favorite game of all time), but the challenge is about the whole collection, so I'm going to have to give it to Jeff (by the narrowest of margins).

[@FostertheMeeple]

I’ll take it!

[@Tablenauts]

Big vote for Jeff’s shelf. I was pleasantly surprised by the Innovation pick! But though it’s pretty, it’s a bigger box than the ugly version 😂 Jeff fumbled the bag by picking Twilight Struggle early though. Gotta hate draft MORE. 😂

[@FostertheMeeple]

I’ll take the nod. HOWEVER. Ding dong you’re wrong on TS

[@runraggedrhino]

I was ROOTing for you Jeff, but I'm gonna give it to Jaimie here (though I do think you should check again if the bank of her games are touching the wall!)

[@FostertheMeeple]

BOOOO RYAN

[@FostertheMeeple]

I should have also haha

[@Paul-hm8dd]

I had a thought going into watching this video that "wouldn't it be funny if someone included a standard deck of cards?" And, so Jamie's cube wins for versatility alone.

YAY!!! It’s so good

[@MrNorthwestern]

I haven't had the chance to play any of the games you drafted, but Jeff got more games that are on my list of desired games & Jamie had a number of solo games which I'm not really into, so Jeff for the win!

[@FostertheMeeple]

YESSSS Eric. SOLIDARITY

[@Thebrad11984]

I think so clover and brass tipped it for Jaime for me. If Jeff would have gotten brass he’d have taken the crown for me but the snake strikes fast, strikes first

[@malvinafis6907]

Lovely challenge. You are always so much fun to watch. I really need to do this challenge at one point. Sounds interesting.

Didn’t fit!!

[@boardgameblackhole4015]

Sympathy vote for Jeff!

I don’t need sympathy! My cube was by far the superior cube

[@deenahitchens6531]

Jamie's cube shelf collection best in general 🙋‍♀️

[@gurnblanston2848]

This is a tough vote. How do you go against Fantasy Realms, Scout, Cartographers and Awkward Guests? Then again, how do you go against Innovation, Turing Machine, So Clover, and Res Arcana? For me, one game tips the scales. Jeff has Unmatched. Jeff wins.

[@FostertheMeeple]

YOU CHOSE RIGHT

[@JonTripp115]

Jamie started out strong (to Jeff's chagrin), but I think she transitioned into "whatever fits" too early. #TeamJeff has the better collection.

[@FostertheMeeple]

JON. You chose well friend

[@scottmeister9882]

Jeff has root for the win

[@FostertheMeeple]

YESSSSSS

[@matthewvince8138]

Jeff has the Root. Can’t go without

[@FostertheMeeple]

Agreed!!

[@axétério]

Tough for me to call as I would’ve chosen games from each of their picks by it I gotta give it to Jaime; even tho Unmatched almost won it for Jeff singlehanded

@@FostertheMeeple Haha fair enough! Credit goes to Jeff for the best use of space, period, with Scout. I also had never heard of Alice is Missing and am excited to try it. Love the channel! You should do this video idea again and say no-repeat picks.

@@appleseiter15 hahah I’m sure we will do it again sometime!! If you have the right group, Alice is Missing is top notch RPG

[@marcbennett9232]

from what i can see of your collection, my list would be wonderlands war, res arcana, root and whatever small games would fit after that but i must have those 3

[@FostertheMeeple]

WW would take the whole cube!

[@Poiuytrew.Q]

Jamie! For Wingspan, Cascadia, Tussie Mussie, So Clover, the One Ring rpg and Turning Machine.

[@thetenorguy1]

Jamie wins, because she got one extra Button Shy in. She wins by the width of a button.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Hahaha that’s fair

[@ryancombs2722]

Both so good but I gotta give to Jeff for his Root pick!

[@FostertheMeeple]

My man Ryan

[@DireMcCann]

I’m usually for Team Jeff, but the versatility from a deck of cards… so cheap of a pick, it shouldn’t have been draftable, but that dang deck put Jamie WAY ahead in my book! This was a fun challenge! Took big box crowdfunders right out of the running!

I thought FOR SURE I would side with Jamie on this one; consider we tend to like a lot of the same games. But there was hardly anything on her shelf that I recognized. What surprises me; is Jeff's choices! Unmatched is one of my favourites - Cobble & Stone being my favourite set. But Jeff managed to pick so many games that are on my "game play wish list." In spite of him adding Twilight, 🤮Baseball, 🤮and Root 🤮to his shelf - I've got to give the win to him.

I would rather have Jeff's collection with Root, unmatched, scout, and TS on it but honestly Jamie almost won it back with very consistent solid picks.
