Приєднався 26 кві 2021
Hi, my name is Phil Gardner and welcome to Fun with Boxes!
This is a channel all about the wonderful world of Board Games - and you will find a range of videos here from overviews, unboxing videos, full How to Play videos and reviews.
You will also find some, I hope, humorous videos, that will make you smile, plus a ton of short board game quizzes that you can try.
My unboxing videos are all stop motion videos - why stop motion you may well ask, rather than just filming opening the game boxes? Well this is because I have Essential Tremor, so opening things and physically showing them to the camera can be quite difficult for me to do. So I had to come up with another way of doing it to hide my shaking hands!!
I hope you like the content I produce, especially the Stop Motion Animation, and also the how to play videos - I hope you find them helpful.
Thank you so much for popping along to watch Fun with Boxes :)
Please take care.
Phil

Calling you our friend is an honour. Your new credit card friend story was hilarious !
@@BoxedMeeples love you guys 🤗🥰 and Fenn of course 😍
Another Game that features penguins!
@@BoxedMeeples you got to love penguins 🐧 🥰
Sorry to hear about your journey and the issues with your credit card, but glad you had a great time :)
@@johnsherman2733 We always have an ‘adventure’ with our journeys 🙃 The credit card issue was a new one though. Not had that before. But it was all funny to look back on 😀 We had a great time indeed thank you! 🤗
It was so great to meet you both and it was such a nice surprise to run to you at the airport. I wish I would have had more time to talk to you during the weekend. We should meet again outside of a convention some time. Glad to see you had a good time in Essen!
It was super awesome to meet you! Next time we must try and meet up for a game or two 🥰
Was good you compared the production compared to the original. Sadly we were too slow at Essen to get out hands on a Copy. We will get it when it gets a UK release
@@BoxedMeeples yeah Lisa pre ordered ours and we picked it up. Lucky we did!!
Thanks Phil! I didn't even know this was coming, now I'm looking forward to a UK release!
@@paulcatley9788 It’s only small but great to have 👍

@@Meeplewood 🤔🤗
Really helpful review! And love the hat! 🙂
@@Meeplewood-h4d Ha Ha!!! Thanks 😊 I told you it was now my favourite hat !! 🥰
This a review and less of a how to play.
Thanks for the feedback. It was meant more Rules Overview than a full on detailed How to Play. I will change the title to 'Rules Overview' and also update the thumbnail when I get back from AireCon West at Telford.
I love how varied these all are despite the size and the shared components. I do love how imaginiative solo games are becoming
Me too!!! I’m looking forward to getting to try these out 👍
I heard there a single player mode in chomp can you explain that please.
Yes, there is a solo mode. I’m currently travelling back from Essen and get back home in a few days time. I will check the rules and get back to you 👍🤗
Подскажите, пожалуйста, где можно купить
@@ойёйёй-ь1с I’m not sure where you could get it. It’s published by Taiwan Board Game Design and also by Good Game Studio. Try one of them. Good luck 🤞 🤗
What an excellent video! Thanks for such a thorough breakdown and explanation. I feel a lot more confident about running an adventure for my friends next week

@@catherineblackburn7659 🤣🤣 Yes indeed!!
Great F games! Have you played the 'Ketchup' for Food Chain? We have some Final Girl movies on our must buy list for Essen 😀
@@BoxedMeeples We have The Ketchup Mechanism expansion. Read the rules. But not had chance to give it a go just yet. One day!!! Ahhhhh excellent. Final girl feature films. Nice. You guys are going to fill the plane with games on your way home. Leave some space for us 🤣🤣🥰
Fantastic List! I so want to try Food Chain Magnate. Have you played Fantastic Factories?
@@alexcannon-microdot Thanks pal 🥰 Ahhh Food Chain Magnate. My Nemesis 🤣 We have Fantastic Factories. But not played it. (Though I think we may have played a friends copy a long time ago ….. I think 🤔)
@@thefunwithboxes We did. Mr Peebles introduced us to it, then I instantly bought a copy which has sat on our shelf ever since 😂
@@bracketslisa ahhhhh I was right!!!! ( our shelf of shame/opportunity is starting to bend under the weight 😬)
I just got this game, seems awesome! Thanks for explaining!
@@lfwj hope you enjoy it 🤗
@@thefunwithboxes Yeah we just played! The rules were a little unclear though.
@@lfwj There is just the card with the rules on. Which is just a few lines. So long as you literally follow what each card says hopefully you will be ok. Especially after you have played a couple of games 👍 if there is anything I can help with. Please let me know 🤗👍
@@thefunwithboxes Yeah sure thanks!
We just played a 5 player game. 1 aspect I don't understand is what determines the "back of the queue". Since the board is a circle there is no end, so it gets very confusing determining what the back is and therefore which player's turn it is
Ahhh I see what you mean. We never encountered that issue as we only played two player. It’s an interesting point. I guess you would need to use some sort of marker to keep track.
@@thefunwithboxes The issue for us wasn't so much the keeping track, it was more not knowing what the game wanted us to do. We ended up having to just make us what we thought made sense. If the player leapfrogs everyone, then they were now the first player. Any player that went in front of the first player was now first player .etc.
Great idea to show the rules overview text for each section. Great video. Thanks.
@@antgerfitz Thanks very much 🤗 Glad you found it helpful.
It was lovely to meet you guys last year in Essen!! And thank you very much for supporting the LUDOS series, and the video really is great ✨ That stop-motion! Well done. Thank you again 🙏 Krisztina & Tamas
@@lemerygames Thank you so much. That means a lot 🤗 It was so lovely to meet you guys 🥰 The games are truly something special. And the game box. Oh my. Breathtakingly beautiful 🤩 Good luck with the kickstarter for volume 2 ….. so excited to see what will come next …. Take care, Phil
I love seeing those small box game videos. I do not often get the chance to discover hidden gems in small boxes. And Pocket Samurai seems to be one of those. I like the artwork and the gameplay seems to be interesting enough to give you some strategic choices. I have never heard of Pocket Samurai before but I'll definitely keep my eyes open for a copy. Thanks for the video Phil 😊
@@Skyrodin I really love small box games 🤗 especially as they do not take up so much space!! This one is well worth picking up if you see it 👍 I will be bringing it to Essen 🤗
I mean... how could I not want to get a game you are in when I can support an animal charity at the same time? The game seems to play similar to Space Days - and I guess the other X Days games as well. I will definitely go and look at those games in Essen. I think their booth is kind of next to the one where I will be working if I remember correctly.
@@Skyrodin Yes they all play similar but each one plays slightly differently, matching the theme. I’ve enjoyed them all and I think Dino Days may still be my favourite but now with Space and Pirates that may change!! That would be cool if your booth was close 👍 Not long for Essen !!! 🤗
Today was a bit of a Phil Day for me. So this is the third of your videos I watched today. I have not yet played or even read about those X Days games even though I wanted to check out Dino Days since I love dinosaurs. This one looks like another fun filler game with a bit of an interesting puzzle. I should really check out this line of games. Thanks for your overview Phil!😊
@@Skyrodin Dino Days is my favourite. But that’s because just like you I love dinosaurs 🦕 rrraaaaaa 🤗 Farplace will be at Essen and they will have this plus the next “Days” game to buy there (video coming soon) plus they will have all the others there too 👍👍😎
I'm slowly but steadily getting more interested in Button Shy games. Libby just told me that they are available in Germany but I think I'd prefer getting some of the original ones. I think the ones I am most interested in are Revolver Noir, Death Valley, Numbsters, At the Helm, Desert Pack and Wildtails: A Pirate Legacy. But Aqua Rove looks cool as well. It's fascinating how much game you can get out of 18 cards.
@@Skyrodin yeah it’s incredible what they come up with just 18 cards. Incredible. There are soooo many good titles to recommend. We played Death Valley the other day and it’s awesome. We signed up to their Patreon so get a game plus extras like expansions every month 👍
This looks like a pretty fun filler game! I'm really bad at dexterity games but I think I would still play it and laugh a lot. I just love penguins. Oh and I take my hat off for your performance as a penguin holding the game box - it almost rivals Danny DeVito, who is my favorite penguin in any movie :D
@@Skyrodin 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you!!! 🐧 I’m obviously terrible at dexterity games but that won’t stop me playing them. So much hilarious fun 😁
@@Skyrodin 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you!!! 🐧 I’m obviously terrible at dexterity games but that won’t stop me playing them. So much hilarious fun 😁
So happy to see that Electropolis is still in your collection!!!!
Of course!!! It’s a wonderful game 🤗🤗 we love it !!! 🥰

@@geurt681 yes we did 🤗🤗 very happy memories. So happy to have met you and get to know you. ❤️
Looks great ! Thought Lisa would be better after all her beaver stacking !
@@BoxedMeeples 🤣🤣🤣 I know!!! I think I got lucky 😊
Hey Phil. Thanks for your list. There were many interesting games on it at always. I played one Exit game so far and had a great time with it. I didn't know there was a Lord of the Rings one. I think that's one I should get. Everdell was the first game I bought after getting into the hobby and will always have a special place in both my collection and my heart. And Endless Winter has been on my list for quite some time now as well😊
We love the exit games. I still can’t believe we have not played the Lord of the Rings one. Soon I think 👍 Endless winter is awesome. Hope you get to play it one day 🤗🤗
Great explanation! Thank you!
Thank you very much. It’s a great game 🤗
Hi Phil! Arborea looks beautiful. Well the board seems a bit overwhelming. But still beautiful. It sounds like a lot and I don't know if I would be ready for a complex game like that yet. I wouldn't say no to playing it and trying my best. Thanks for your helpful and informative overview 😊
Yeah it really is beautiful. The board when you first see it can blow your mind. But when you’ve played the game the board actually makes sense and is very easy to use. The player turns are very straightforward. But the complexity is all around just what paths you choose to trigger the icons that will work the best for what you are planning to do. It’s a great puzzle of a worker action game 🤗 perhaps we will get to play it one day 👍😎
Thank you for covering this. I haven't played it yet [got too many other games on my "shelf of shame"] but this is very helpful info. Subscribed!
@@tyrroo Thank you 🤗 ahhhhh the shelf of shame! We have many many games sat on ours. Going to make an effort to get some played soon 👍👍

Phil this series is such a great watch! I’ve only just found your channel, but am genuinely so pleased I did. Your energy and excitement is so lovely to see! I’m very intrigued - you have 149 games beginning with C - how many do you have in your entire collection?!
@@tishdollamore5637 Wow. Thank you sooo much 🤗🤗 we have far too many games 😬 there is no room in our house!!! But we keep buying more 🫢

@@tishdollamore5637 Thanks so much 🤗 You are very kind 🤗
Good video. Well explained! 😊
@@SuperRadetzky Thanks 🤗
How replayable is it? My concern with narrative/story games is that once the story is done, there is little incentive to return.
I've not had another play through yet to have a feel for that - but it does have something like 13 endings - so there is re-playability built into it. I really enjoyed playing it and would definitely replay it a few times - but as you say with something like this there will be a point where you have gotten all you want out of the game. Well worth a look though 👍
I LOVE Batman and this game looks so cool. It's something I most probably will never own but just looking at it is amazing. I mean... the artwork? Perfect. I would even enjoy reading the rulebook! So much stuff IS quite intimidating though. I don't know if I would be able to play the game at all. Still... great purchase! I hope you have tons of fun with those boxes 😊
I'm really looking forward to playing it properly now with the revised rules - I think it's going to be an awesome game!!!! 😀
Had to do my own list: 1 Adventure Games, the Dungeon 2 Aeon's End 3 Anachrony 4 Abandon All Artichokes 5 Aquamarine 6 Architects 7 Azul 8 Alien Frontiers 9 Alhambra 10 Anomia
Abandon All Artichokes! What a fun little game. Great list. ❤We’ve played most but a few we haven’t. We’ve had the Adventure Game: Dungeon sitting on our shelf for a while, we’ll have to give it a try as we love the Exit Games from KOSMOS. ❤
Great list!!! As Lisa says we will have to play your number one game - we have had it on a shelf for many years. I like Aeon's End - have you played the Legacy version??
Hey Phil. I still have my "problems" with GMT games. This might be because I have never properly played one. I just know that I'm very bad at tactical strategy computer games and I assume it's the same with board games. That being said Rebel Fury looks really interesting and I guess you'll have lots of fun with it. Maybe I'll play one of those games one day and understand the excitement better. 😊
I don’t play many computer games so I’m not sure. But I sure do love a GMT Game 🥰👍😎 Yes hopefully one day you will get to play one and enjoy. The COIN games are awesome and can be played solo if that’s a thing you are into 👍
Thanks for your video! Did you find or have the rules in English anywhere? Cheers!
@@GabryHell Thanks 🤗 Yes we had the English rules with the game 👍
@@GabryHell I just checked and you can get the English rules on BGG (Board Game Geek) 😀
Hi @@thefunwithboxes , Thanks! Found them on BGG but they are just a black text on white background. Can do with it but I just thought I'd ask in case there was a proper version of the rules in English floating around :p Thanks!
@@GabryHell try looking at the publishers website. Perhaps they will have them? Good luck 🤞 🤗
Very clear and concise explanation. Thank-you!
@@seanwilde8971 Thanks very much 🤗 I hope it was helpful.
Your enthusiasm is contagious loved watching this video always great to see you and Lisa flashing those badges, and even playing some games together! Thanks for teaching Vale of eternity will be keeping my eye out for that one. 🥰❤
@@TjTommytj Thanks Tommy 🥰Always a pleasure to see you and flash our badges 🤗🤗🥰🥰
Was fab-laas to see you and Lisa at AireCon NW- thank you so much for my Welsh cakes and whisky - they were delish!!!
@@georginam3618 yay 🙌 Fabulous 🤗🥰 So lovely to see you again 🤗🤗
So glad you had a great time at AireCon North West. I saw you around but didn't get a chance to come over and say hello. Perhaps our paths will cross at another AireCon. Thanks for a great summary video of ACNW. I'm off to play Dancing Queen on my Kazoo 😉
@@MissElby awwww you should have said hello it would have been lovely to meet you. At the next AireCon perhaps 🤗 Dancing Queen 🤣🤣🤣🤣 we still have our Kazoo’s 🤗🤗
I just love videos like this. Seeing how much fun you had just makes me happy 😊 I would love to play Comic Hunters. This looks really cool. And the beaver game reminds me of Men at Work. I am quite bad at dexterity games but I think trying it would be fun. Also... this video gives me an idea. You'll see. And one day... one day I will make it to one of the AireCons. At least that's what I hope.
@@Skyrodin Comic Hunters was great. Looking forward to picking it up one day. You have to play with Lisa’s beavers 🦫 we will bring them to Essen 🤗 yes!!! Please come to an AireCon 🤗🤗
Do I know Libby and Julian? Maybe... 😂😂😂 This video was different but I still loved it. Like I told you Rock Hard is one of my most anticipated games this year. The theme is... chef's kiss! The art is phenomenal and the fact that it is designed by a musician I like very much makes it even better. I love how immersive this game seems to be. And still there is enough... sugarcoating... to make it more family friendly. You kind of surprised me as well. I didn't know you were a musician. Not that I wouldn't believe it but I never thought about it as well. So... Rock on! 🤘 I am currently a bit obsessed with Draft & Write Records so Rock Hard is definitely a game I MUST try. I think I'll get it in Essen if I can manage to buy it before it is sold out. Also can't wait to meet you there and chat a bit in person. PS: Nice Pink Floyd reference there. 😊
@@Skyrodin Draft and write records is awesome!!! I have it on my list of games to do on the channel 🤗🤩 Really looking forward to meeting you and glad you got the Pink Floyd reference 😎🤗👍👍
Loved the Rocking out!! So glad you enjoyed playing this one- We had a blast at Draigcon, you guys were, as always, fantastic hosts! ROCK ON!
@@BoxedMeeples And you guys (and Fenn) are fantastic guests and awesome friends 🤗🤗🥰
