You make insanely great content please don’t quit making content,I believe that the algorithm will eventually bless you lol. Especially with this professional level of video making skills, genuinely underrated

Where can I get this board?

5:29 hmm what exactly is wrong with this move? It leaves a window there, but is that really worse than the possibility of being hit in this case?

I have yet to see anyone talk about the Crisloid "Champion" backgammon boards. They are medium in size, and reasonable-medium in price (cheaper than any of the crisloids you have talked about I believe, but more expensive than the budget boards you talk about here) and boy do they look good in the photos! Do you have one of those?

Dude with the gunmen shirt on looks like he needs to pee bad.

I never liked the look of a orange Crisloid until NOW. That checker combination is sweet

Nice! I like that last one. I'm waiting for an antique board (15 inch, Lowe) with a cork surface. Hoping it's not garbage :D

Great video. Friendly guy, too

In part you two have inspired me to study the game more seriously and to go to the Madison tournament. I had entered in the novice division next month. Played backgammon with a friend today and we are interested in getting a local club going as well. As you say a good way to build some social connections as well as having some fun. I plan to bring water and snacks to eat while playing for sure.

Love this channel. You have a long way to go. But F...... love it. ❤

I bought 140 board as well I have not played in a few years.

Just found your channel and being a fellow Wisconsinite Im obliged to sub. Was about to ask if you ever checked out the Milwaukee club until I saw you in a picture on their Facebook 😅

Does the leap fit inside a board?

I live in the Quad City area (Davenport, IA, Moline IL) and we have no club here. I am wondering how the Madison club got started? The club in Madison and Peoria, Il are the closest to me. I have relatives in Madison and I may've to come up and play with the club like you did just to have the experience. I am entering the Madison tournament as a novice just to experience that as well. Your videos have helped to push me into studying the game more. Thanks for doing them.

UPDATE: I followed up with Crisloid via email and they responded right away that sometimes custom checkers take a little longer. Only two days after this original post we have our board and we are supper happy with it. It was worth the slight extra wait. We’ve had a less timely and less communicative interaction with Crisloid. We’ve been waiting almost three weeks now with no word on when the board has even shipped. I had to reach out to them to make sure they got the payment after almost a week. They are responsive to email communication when you’re designing your board but once you put the order in our experience is that they are less communicative once they have the payment. At this point we have no idea when we’ll receive our board.

Great video as usual!

Another great video! For the price, the quality assurance needs to be better (though props on BG for good customer service).

@blunderblots Hey i played this game on App and it's very addictive. Now i want to buy my first board, but i can't chose between the 16 inch and 19 inch models. Mainly i want to use at home, but sometimes if i go to my friends or i go to holiday i want the perfect size board. I don't want two boards, just one. Can you help me make a decision? What do you suggest?

Another great video, Jason! You really manage to capture the magic of Backgammon. Looking forward to your next one. Cheers for now...

Hope you know how much your videos are appreciated! I’ve watched on and off since your first video and now as I get back into backgammon again I absolutely love the way you film and edit, your passion for learning the game, and how you share the game with your significant other. Please keep this up!

Thanks for this; I just bought a leap clock and this helped very much. Happy rolling!

Well, I am learning like you and your videos are well done in terms of content and technically. I am currently going through Marc Olen’s book How to Not Suck at Backgammon. I live in the Quad City area and there is not backgammon club here. There is one in Madison, WI and in Peoria, Il. I am working on getting my wife to play as I would rather play in person than online, but may have to go online to get more playing in. I am wondering about getting a club together. Any recommendations on that?

Amazing quality of your videos. Thank you!

This is a Crisloid board correct? Tournament or Champion size? The tournament size looks large to me and would prefer something a wee bit smaller. How does the travel size work for you? That seems to be a bit small (I Saw your videos on that),

Game of luck not like chess for legends sorry facts🙂

Congratulations on a great UA-cam channel, the best Backgammon channel by a country mile. Refreshing to see you & your good lady having so much fun playing & filming Backgammon. Keep up the good work, and Thank You.

Wow, what a cool board! And you’re so lucky to have played with so many great players that I’ve NEVER played against: Nick Blazier, David Todd, Ben Friesen, your wife (😂). Great stuff, thanks for your ongoing series of videos!

Fun video to watch. Congratulations on the baby

Awesome job Jason. Enjoyed rooming with you for the week and looking forward to seeing you again in Chicago

Great video and review. Not to forget your channel. I'm a subscriber now. I've been looking at the adventure boards from Backgammon Galaxy for some time now. I haven't pulled the trigger yet because of the price range. I love the boards, especially the popping colors and the sound of it. Congratulations with your new board. Been looking at the Crisloids as an alternative, but I'm not a fan of the cork inlays. I much prefer the softer inlays, such as on the adventure board. Anyway, I found another alternative - the Mini Nature board from FM Gammon for $250. It's the same size, the same inlays. The checkers looks amazing. The white and brown finger dished checkers reminds me of capuccino and macchiato - will fit perfectly in at a cafe or beach bar. Haven't received it yet, but expected to have the board in the coming days. Will post a comment later if I find any flaws. But from earlier experience with Backgammon Galaxy, I haven't found any flaws with my purchased producs. I've purchased some precision dice, the tempest game clock and the prototype tournament sized Nova Board (purchased for only $127). I was expecting flaws with the Nova Board, but couldn't find any - all 45 mm checkers looked really, really good, and the playing surface looked and felt really good. And I agree, Sir, the sound of the soft inlays with the wooden frame is simply unbeatable. It's my favourite combo, without a single doubt.

Welcome back, Jason.

👍

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 great coverage Jason. The highlight style of this video was very enjoyable. I actually didn’t catch much of the stream, so this was perfect. Thank you. Having the commentary audio over top was great too. Keep up the great work! Let’s go Patreon lol 🎉

Great editing for the final match! Got my heart pounding!

I must have missed my name when you mentioned "giants of the game?" Oh... you were talking about backgammon skills and not waist size... never mind , ha ha ha. Great meeting you Jason... see you again soon! Bill

Very cool. Keep it up! Wish there was something like this in The Netherlands... And congratiulations with your little one. Cherrish even the sleepless days 😂

Or... now hear me out. Just go straight to FM Gammon and pick one up for 250. It's not the same colors, but i dont think the color is worth paying double.

Another great vid from the BB team. Always top notch! Not a critique, but in most all BG content why is prize money never discussed in the coverage of these events? Gambling is not the taboo it once was and I think a spotlight on the action side of the game could really help it to grow. Take that with a grain of salt, I’m a poker player.

Super video always feel like im right there :) in my case loosing as normal :P

Always capturing the energy of these tournaments like none other. The variety of commentary, stream footage, interviews, and vlog-style shots in this one really sets it apart. What an impressive piece of work! Cherry Blossom was one for the books. Shoutout to the entire team. See everyone again next year. :)

Great video! It was interesting to hear the players’ thoughts as they progressed, and everyone seems so friendly. Congrats on the baby!

Nintendo Switch Board 😂 But for the price... the quality of the checkers should be perfect.

Loved your video. Awesome board! Excellent choice in picking out the checkers, dice, and shakers!

😂😂😂😂

Love that you enjoy this as a couple, my wife and I have been getting into backgammon after finding a cheap used set at a thrift store. We’ve been trying to play a few games each day since then. Thanks for sharing this content!

I tried XG and became convinced it’s rigged against the player. Prove me wrong.

I'm Ga Ga for BG & love the colors - sounds of these boards in spades! Yet another Great Blunder Blots video Jason & Bree!!!

I’m a musician who’s recently discovered the joys of backgammon. Clocks don’t scare me, I think of them like “metronomes” for games. And I’m very used to using a metronome. 😅

1:51 - That’s a Marc Olsen move! 😁
