[@HachetteBoardgamesUSA]

Thrilled for Looot and Seaside! Also, thrilled for the pup-appearance 🐶

[@eepinpang4407]

I burst out laughing at the Paula photo. Inspired!

[@eepinpang4407]

Also, didn't expect the existential crisis that should exist in every boardgame review

[@WatchItPlayed]

_"didn't expect the existential crisis that should exist in every boardgame review"_ Some would call that our specialty around here. 😉 -Chaz

[@jamescartwright1150]

Stewart!!! The real power behind the WiP throne. I'm now eagerly awaiting Squeaky Chair: The Board Game by Chaz.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Development on Squeaky Chair: The Biard Game is delayed indefinitely because every time I sit down to work on it, I keep getting distracted for some reason. -Chaz

[@afrank525]

Stewart is more cult-of-the-new than me. But I love that Stewart shared with us!

[@WatchItPlayed]

It's true. Stewart is always down to crack the shrink on the latest cardboard curiosity. Ollie (the other, goofy looking dog) on the other hand, nearly has a handle on Checkers. I'd say within another three months she'll understand not to eat the pieces. #Progress! -Chaz

[@SupremeDistraction]

Sad you got left behind, Chaz, but thank you for delivering laughs (and even more board games to add to my cart) 😆

[@WatchItPlayed]

Forsooth, it is with glad heart that I see my toil never-ceasing goes not unrecognized. (Sorry, I was bitten by a radioactive Shakespeare this morning.) -Chaz

[@25thCenturyGames]

Thank you so much Paula and Chaz for including Color Field.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Heyhey, our pleasure! Paula was excited to share it in this episode. Thanks for taking the time to watch and share a comment with us. 😀 -Chaz

[@gagnonjoel2]

Thanks for the good words on Seaside! 🐚🌊🦀

[@WatchItPlayed]

My pleasure! And I got a chance to play Seaside last weekend, and we all enjoyed it. :D -Chaz

[@morgaknightgames]

Stewart's sleepy excitement is me this morning. Also there with the squeaky chair distraction 😅

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks! And if there's one phrase that best describes Stewart, I think it is "sleepy excitement". LOL. You nailed it. :) -Chaz

[@Leron...]

My new headcanon is that Chaz refers to himself as "Ace" quite often.

[@WatchItPlayed]

To make your headcanon completely accurate, also have me believe I'm a detective. -Chaz

[@lukepickles5099]

Nice job taking on the work of everyone else, Chaz! If you ever need a supporting act, I’ll dust off my Rodney costume I left in AireCon

[@WatchItPlayed]

How's your East Coast Canadian accent coming along?

[@lukepickles5099]

@@WatchItPlayed I just can’t seem to get “cards” right - even my phone autocorrects!

[@zippy5131]

For one Chaz needs a holiday somewhere quiet, two, just registered for the upcoming expansion to Northgard.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks, Zippy! And I hope you enjoy the upcoming Northgard expansion. I'm hoping that, like its computer game counterpart, we see quite a few small to medium sized expansions for it. :) -Chaz

[@DenisRyan]

I got my all-in Kickstarter for Galactic Renaissance in May. It looks so gorgeous. Inis is my all time favourite game, so I knew I was going to be backing this one. Haven't had a chance to try it yet though.

[@WatchItPlayed]

I hope you get to play it soon, and enjoy it when you do. I've got to play it a couple times now, and have really enjoyed it. But (in a good way) it always leaves me wanting more -more Specialists! more unique planet powers! more surprises to discover! I hope the expansion that was mentioned in the episode eventually comes to pass. I'm already looking forward to whatever else is released for it. :) -Chaz

[@teaNgames]

Apologies for misgendering Stewart the Dog in a comment on another video🙂 Glad to see him again, though he doesn't look all that happy with the picks. Did you leave his pick off the list *again*?? Excellent selections this week! Some interesting stuff for me to look up!🎉

[@WatchItPlayed]

Good question. Yes, Stewart's picks were left out because, for the thirty-seventh week in a row, they were Dog Park, the "New Tricks" expansion for Dog Park, Dog-opoly, and Twilight Imperium. -Chaz

[@henriwhitehead]

Great Video! Galactic Renaissance looks great.

[@WatchItPlayed]

I've played it several times now, and have really enjoyed it. I think you'd like it, too, Henri. It's not as meaty as a COIN game, but it has some neat cardplay and strategies to consider. :) -Chaz

[@henriwhitehead]

@@WatchItPlayed I’m a big fan of Inis, so I’m sure I’d like this one too.

[@HALOX30]

I think i am lost in this wilderness.... Can someone play a card. I need to get back. Help!! Chaz? Steward? Oh look...a squirel. Hello mr Squirel.

[@WatchItPlayed]

DON'T WORRY, I'm here to help and I brou-- hey, yeah, a squirrel! Look at his cute little hands. Uh... now, where was I going? Uh-oh. Can someone ELSE play a card now? -Chaz

[@travisbowersox8586]

Let's see Eclipse Second Dawn!

[@ocrow8079]

Stewart looks more interested in a nap:)

[@WatchItPlayed]

You know it. That dog's whole life is spent resting up in preparation of his next nap. -Chaz

[@elainetyger]

Does the dog complain to his friends about your breath?

[@WatchItPlayed]

I've seen the things that this dog _enjoys_ sniffing. So, if he complained about _my_ breath, I don't know if that would be a good or bad thing. 🤔 -Chaz
