I don't know about anyone else, but as soon as I see a new Games Night video, life just becomes a little brighter! Great video guys, really enjoyed all the banter.

[@ForChitsGiggles]

Lincoln always seems like he's challenging himself to finish the ending script more quickly than the last time! :D

[@dkoudrin]

Scored 156 in my play along, got all the spyglass symbols by end of round 2 and just concentrated on getting 3 villages in round 3.

[@shawnrynearson6114]

I always get the sense that Nikki is reluctant to run the game introduction, but kudos you did it well! Great episode!

[@lemiless]

She does seem to struggle a bit.. but I was rooting for her!

[@shawnrynearson6114]

@@lemiless wouldn't change a thing, hope she keep doing it.

[@savasyn]

Haha, you guys were in quite a mood today. Very playful! :)

Lincoln wearing a Daredevil shirt, when there's a cast member of a Daredevil project in the room. Top Tier Nerd.

[@rojocuarzo]

Your videos are so awesome! Thank you for share them! Nikki explanation of the rules is perfect 🙂 I laughed out loud in minute 33:28 , when Lincoln said: - "I guess it´s Yeti time", and Deborah start with "Chewbacca time" instead (or ChewYeti, as Lincold said...). It´s so funny! You´re great!! 😀

[@marjiewendt9221]

Ooooh I like this one too, probably gonna try and teach to my group. Also, love the sinergy between yall in this vid, with all the quotes and singing, keep the good work! :D

[@jean-paularends4535]

Always a pleasure to watch you guys play!

[@olivierjodoin2283]

This game is a super fun flip and write. I have played it during lockdown last year with my 5 year old son and my mother-in-law remotely and it works really well.

[@rachsounds]

Played along! :) I had 114 and tons of fun

[@cwilkers22]

"SO...MUCH that it-it, flame-flames...FLAMES on the side of my face..." 🤣

[@HomestarRunner20X6]

Great video guys! Nikki is the best

[@wimscheenen3535]

Fun playthrough! Another game to put on my list.

[@robertanushafedele7847]

There are at least two great ideas out of this episode: put this game on the wish-list, and name a kitty Yeti. Thanks for keeping us soloists in mind, too 😸🎲

[@HammersHomeVideo]

For real. I've always wanted to name a cat Pennywise. Now I need two cats!

[@FranckLefebvre]

Hey Guys! I noticed that you’ve set up the game for 5 players so I joined! Hope you don’t mind ;-) I’m afraid I cost Jennifer 5 points by stealing The E village 2nd bonus BTW Thanks for another great video!

[@HammersHomeVideo]

Ive watched for a while but haven't ever commented. Very cool, as always. I have to thank Lincoln for inadvertently turning me onto GeekyJerseys. I saw the Donley Kong one and went down a rabbit hole looking for it. Grabbed the Orko jersey and recently the Daredevil one Lincoln is wearing here. Hoping they put out a Moon Knight jersey! It's neat seeing Deborah in this setting. The game seems pretty fun. My daughter and I like to play On Tour and this seems similar but also different enough to fit in as something slightly different. Might try to pick it up. Thanks to all you guys for doing these videos!

[@boardgamegeek]

I'm sorry to have gotten you started on Geeky Jerseys :). Look out, I have far too many (and spent too danged much). Thanks for the note and for watching.-Lincoln

[@HammersHomeVideo]

@@boardgamegeek Haha. I'm sure it's easy to do. I almost ordered Miskatonic and Bowser but held off to see what comes next. I'm not too overboard yet, lol.

[@anahi_naya_ledesma]

53:33 Even though it wasn't a live stream, I was still able to "play" with you guys. I got my sheet and I was marking the paths and sites along with you guys. I was also able to connect B to B, but both of the Goals cards for that route had already been taken away. However, I got D to D and luckily I was able to add the 4 Bonus points to my score. In the end, I got 109 points in total, just ahead of Nikki. Not bad!

[@schoko-fan4370]

Looks really neat - reminds me a bit of Explorers by Ravensburger, which came out in autumn '21

[@Capricorn_IV]

Highlight of my day watching your videos ☺️

[@seanmayer1695]

Deborah is the highlight!

[@TheSludgeMan]

@@seanmayer1695 for sure

[@benanddaniellereviews]

Go Deborah!! I go to try this for the first time last week. I hope it’s more widely available soon!

[@atomiccritter6492]

Nice to see Nikki doing the teaching for a change

[@nolaabroad1514]

wow. this game looks great. I might try a modified version for my high school esl class.

[@adamr7305]

45:44 and 31:50 Deborah connects the wrong terrains

[@SuperCaxii]

True, but it wouldnt change the score tho. :)

[@adamr7305]

@@SuperCaxii Sure! I only found out because I was thinking along with her. Great video as always.

[@atelier.paulaanjos]

I noticed too

[@lucianocasanova1903]

I played with you guys, I got 139 points 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@achang101]

This was fun. I have to buy this game now.

[@johandanielsson6209]

When doing the village set up in the beginning each person is supposed to write their letters offset by one village to the right. So that each island is different. Also when playing with four players or less you only play with the bonus cards labeled #1. Great game and great video! Thank you.

[@scottsmartky]

They explained the first point as they were doing the symmetry variant thus didn't do that. Probably to make it easier to follow and a good idea when starting out so you can make sure no one makes mistakes.

[@johandanielsson6209]

@@scottsmartky I must have missed that. Thank you!

[@the_luggage]

This one reminds me a lot of Karuba. Good teach and entertaining play-through, thanks, folks! ...but you're in the wrong seats :p

[@neverboardofgaming]

Excellent how to play Nikki!

[@caseys.7804]

Great job explaining the game, Nikki. I really hope you all will play Picture Perfect.

[@Sajatzsiraf]

I was playing along and though the bonuses obviously impact the score a bit, I managed to crawl up to 158 with some super lucky final flips. :) I like this game a lot, such a shame that it is super difficult to get this where I live.

[@AllyStevenSeveri]

Great game. We played it during a zoom meeting.

[@cianomahony6916]

Thanks Nikki, looks interesting. I think if possible it would be nice to see Mark, Kevin,rusty, Jacki etc back on the show. As much as I like seeing Deborah, she’s been so much recently and it’s nice to share the games with the other contributors. Good video as always though

[@Therisktaker3]

Not that i do not enjoy other contributors, but my personal favorites are Dave, Nikki, Aaron, Lincoln, and Deborah.

[@cianomahony6916]

@@Therisktaker3 agree with the top 4 for sure but I’d probably put Kevin before Deborah for most game types. I think the puzzle games with Dave and Deborah work well but apart from those I’d have Dave over Deborah for most games. Again she’s great so not knocking her at all though but when the main gang can’t meet up, I go back to the “variety is the spice of life approach” and mix up the fourth player. It’s still the best board gaming show on though.

[@boardgamegeek]

Cian, Kevin no longer lives in California where we film. We will have him on when he is in town again at some point. The others either have been asked or have been on recently. Hopefully we will have them on again soon. Thanks for the note and for watching.-Lincoln

[@cianomahony6916]

@@boardgamegeek thanks for the update Lincoln. I’ve grown used to watching your videos and streams over the last few years - it’s a great source of relaxation after work. Definitely appreciate how difficult it can be to organise the logistics of getting people together also though. 👍 keep up the great work

[@JuiceFlicks]

Yeah Nikki!

[@fvizeus]

Reminds me of Avenue

[@Sajatzsiraf]

wait... Nikki is in a different seat... you may have just caused a rip in the space-time continuum!

[@guylevenbroun520]

Nikki is not in her regular place. I got dizzy

[@scottsmartky]

I started channeling Sheldon Cooper at the start of the video. People can't sit just anywhere. Then, I got over it and enjoyed the game.

[@Therisktaker3]

I know the teacher is always in that seat and threw me off since Nikki and Lincoln are pretty much in the same seats every video.

[@vikassaini5392]

Hi karen☺️

[@thanhnguyen-yo3ys]

Nice video

[@Sin4Profit]

@9:38 When Emperor Palpatine supports environmental consciousness.

[@dkoudrin]

Deborah was making weird moves left and right and claimed A-A when her left side A was not even connected?

[@DysonTony]

It looks fun, but I don't like the scoring system. Having Deborah getting 30 points in round 2 made it nearly impossible for others to catch up. It can be frustrating to continue to play if somebody is that far ahead half way through.

[@kevinengel2134]

How did Deborah get connected with this channel? I’m still confused how this happened?

[@Therisktaker3]

She explains it in one of the Wilson Wolfe affair play thrus. Essentially she started watching all their videos, really wanted to be on the show, got in touch with the pr guy for geek and sundry, and was able to get her on the show.

[@kevinengel2134]

@@Therisktaker3 thanks! it has just confused me for a long time lol

[@konstantinwendt3385]

It is a great game indeed but I have to say games play very much the same every time. after spotting the "right strategy" you will play rounds pretty similar - as long as you compete for the win never played the expansion tho

[@FonWin]

And.... it's not available.

[@boardgamegeek]

Randy, I think it's coming back into retail channels because we couldn't find it for a while and then found the recent printing in a game store here in town just recently. Plus you can pick it up from the Matagot Games site. Thanks for the note and for watching.-Lincoln
