Just going to say that it is literally utter insanity what you did here. I mean I really liked Janis‘ improvements to Cascadia but the upgrades for the LOTR game just kept on giving. It looks absolutely crazy and this video just might be my favorite one from you two. Really enjoy your channel and the work, energy and creativity you put into your videos. Was a blast to watch!
Probably your best video ever. Very fun to see you both interact and the editing is good as always. After much consideration i have to say, Janis crushed it. Sorry Janis, but Janis won this one.
Huge respect to Jānis T. for such insane upgrades to the game. I hope they will elevate your gaming experience to the next level! Great job! 🤩 Also, kudos to Jānis G. for innovative ideas! 👏🏻
The sticker idea is genius!!! Will definitely make me wanna play the game more. I know the upgrades for lotr are cool, but the stickers take the cake :)
The city fitting over the mountains was **chef's kiss** but also I do love how Janis thought of the full player experience (background music, score keeping, last winner) haha great ideas
I love the ambition of T., but I prefer G.'s practical and fun approach. I really really love the sticker and sweet defeat idea and am going to do it for my Claim deckbox. Let's see how it will work with my kids. I'll never have the time or skills to do T's improvements, but G.'s are all within reach. I wonder if there will be a Dune Musical birthday card 😂❤
At first, considering there already is a deluxification of War of The Ring, I was a bit underwhelmed, but huge credit for the flags idea and the trail to Mount Doom and then, holy frig, Mount Doom itself! However, opening the box and having a theme tune play, what a delight! I absolutely have to have The Imperial March playing when opening Star Wars: Rebellion, literal chills. Also the ‘Sweet Defeat’ was a brilliant out of the box idea. Has to be a draw, and can’t wait for the next episode of Plain To Insane!
Just wow! You left me speechles and amazed! What a clever and simple (and pretty and nice) solution for setup, flags also...not to mention mountains and fortresses that fit into them, crazy good and all painted...my eyes are filled with tears of joy. Please make sure that publisher sees this and maybe create third edition.
@BoardGameHangover another brilliant (yet very simple, but hugely effective) addition was double dice set. I'm thinking about that game you made all day...
Such a cool video! My vote goes to G!!! My jaw dropped when the box played gift card music :D But man how much work did T put in, I don’t like LOTR at all but that made me want to play that game, it looks incredible. Great job guys, can’t wait for more of this series. I thought “Have you seen Dexter?” was the funniest line of the video but I actually cackled when G ate the Sweet Defeat. Please make more of these :)
Great job, you guys! Such a fun video 😂. G's upgrade had serious "I forgot there was a project due today" energy. All kidding aside, keep up the great work!
Wow! Crazy stuff! Fun stuff! Congrats!!! You might like my original collector edition wooden elven box for the pre painted minis… but honestly, they are not as good looking as yours! You should do some limited editions! 😮😂🎉
I am now afraid to take the shrink off my copy of War of the Rings..... 😉 So very cool. ... and a very fun video kicking off a great new series I hope!!
I was gonna vote for G. For the funnyness but WOW T. Put in serious work he deserves the win here. He's making me want to get into painting minis but I have minimal time to begin with bahaha. Excellent video! Subscribed to yall when you had under 14,000 people joining you, you guys have grown SO MUCH IN QUALITY AND COMFORT ON CAMERA!!
When you said you were pimping out a game, I immediately thought 3D printing. Then I saw the Ender 3 and it made me sad for you. 3D printing has come so far since Enders. There are so many awesome things to print for board games, and most of the inserts are better than those that come with the games. Mr. T went above and beyond.
This was such an awesome video. I really love the idea of DIY’ing board games to make them better. I’d be curious to see if any rule changes come into these videos as well. I’m sure there are plenty of games out there that have glaring issues and could be resolved with a little bit of house-ruling.
Holy hell that was sooo cool ; I know you made a video awhile back to improve your board game experience, but I didn't think you'd actually do it !!! xD Jãnis's upgrades and volcano were sooooo INSANE LOL , it seemed like you went all out and truly got to explore your creativity ! 10/10 video , glad to hear it was fun too!
Goddamnit...now I want to buy War of the Ring and pimp it out the same but on the same hand I really, REALLY don't want to put out all that work for a game I don't even know if I'll play and/or like. Add that I have a plastic pile of shame looking at me judgingly for months now...and I've only added to it xD
I've been thinking about ways to improve Arkham Horror 2nd edition. Fantasy Flight obviously doesn't seem to care to return to it, but I would love to see it get an Eldritch Horror treatment to make it easier for upkeep, etc. It's my all-time favorite game, but people are rightfully feel daunted whenever I suggest bringing it to the table.
Hey guys! This video is absolutely outstanding. You're bringing a broader perspective and a fresh level of interest to board game topics compared to many other video bloggers in this hobby. The ideas you shared for these particular games are really cool and inspiring. Also, a heartfelt thank you for supporting Ukraine 🇺🇦 , Janis G. (I noticed the armband on your wrist). It truly means a lot to us Ukrainians to see support coming from people in various walks of life. Keep up the great work!
How on earth did you paint WotR (and more!) in only one month of time? 😳 Im close to finishing mine, but it will have taken me like a year (ofc with some pauses) to finish it😬 But its worth the time for that beauty and beast of a game 😍 And btw: T. 🤪
I can’t wait for the next episode of Pimp My Board Game!
Mr Odd is here,no way!
@ hell ya. This is my favourite board game channel on the citadel

2 types of school projects lol. Great video!!!
This is your all-time best video! I hope you do many more just like it.
Probably your best video ever. Very fun to see you both interact and the editing is good as always. After much consideration i have to say, Janis crushed it.
Sorry Janis, but Janis won this one.
Oh my god, this was incredible. I hope you get bigger and bigger sponsors so you can go more and more insane.
Incredible, the best video you have made. At the beginning I wondered if I would watch the whole 21 minutes but they passed so fast!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Huge respect to Jānis T. for such insane upgrades to the game. I hope they will elevate your gaming experience to the next level! Great job! 🤩
Also, kudos to Jānis G. for innovative ideas! 👏🏻
The sticker idea is genius!!! Will definitely make me wanna play the game more. I know the upgrades for lotr are cool, but the stickers take the cake :)
This was fantastic. Great work Janis
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a great video, you should definitely do more of these. "It's okay, it's only the whole internet watching" made me lol.
More to come!

I wanted to vote for G, just to make T wear the shirt, but that painting and 3D printing upgrades speaks to my own collection. Loved them both though!
Yo i actually got chills at the end, thats crazy! The music, the over the top volcano, and the genuine joy on yalls faces was awesome! 🙌🏼

Lol great video.
One upgrade to rule them all!!
Best video ever! I loved it. Thanks, guys! You should enhance Nemesis.
Best video you have ever made folks! We need more!
Already working on the next one! :)
Brilliant video! So many cool ideas, I'm totally going to borrow these for pimping out some games
This is really good content. It adds more variety to your channel, less hair on T's head and makes your channel to stand above others'. Subscribed!
Great concept for a series!
One of your best. J.G. was very inventive with his ideas.
Wow! Crazy stuff! Fun stuff! Congrats!!! You might like my original collector edition wooden elven box for the pre painted minis… but honestly, they are not as good looking as yours! You should do some limited editions! 😮😂🎉
That was a really fun video, thank you both.
Great job and I'll be printing those WOTR upgrades immediately!
This was great! Would love to see more videos like this
This was great, the minis look great! And I love the upgrades for Cascadia ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
I am now afraid to take the shrink off my copy of War of the Rings..... 😉
So very cool.
... and a very fun video kicking off a great new series I hope!!
You guys put a big big smile on my face, thankyou!!
Great videos. Super creative and great quality! Love how you two break down the content of each video. Inspired me to get into board gaming

ive an ender3v3 ke and its perfectly fine for anything boardgame that is not a mini

I bow my head in deep respect. Incredible video, having great ideas for both sides. (Stickers and qr-codes)
Great videos guys! 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it!
This video was just insane. Looking forward to more improvements in the future.
Please do more of these, best thing I've watched in ages!
Cool idea. And even greater execution. Loved the video. You guys rock.
Great video. Amazing content. Love the interaction, the ideas and the fun. Bravo!
This is probably the best video you guys ever made. Good shit!
Great video idea please make more!
you guys are unique and amazing!
I loved this idea!
Nailed the War of the Ring! 🤩
Sorry Jānis, but Jānis took it to the next level. 😂 But seriously good job on video, such a treat
Thanks 😅
I said it on your other video, but I love your innovative ideas for topics. You guys always get me excited to click
Holy hell that was sooo cool ; I know you made a video awhile back to improve your board game experience, but I didn't think you'd actually do it !!! xD Jãnis's upgrades and volcano were sooooo INSANE LOL , it seemed like you went all out and truly got to explore your creativity ! 10/10 video , glad to hear it was fun too!
Glad you liked it!
You guys are beyond good. Excellent production and sense of humor. 😂
Awesome video, i will love to see a whole series on this!
Goddamnit...now I want to buy War of the Ring and pimp it out the same but on the same hand I really, REALLY don't want to put out all that work for a game I don't even know if I'll play and/or like. Add that I have a plastic pile of shame looking at me judgingly for months now...and I've only added to it xD
Watched the whole thing! Love your chemistry!! Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That is one seriously pimped out game now! (But I bet the set-up and tear down actually takes longer with so much bling to put out and put away!)
What a great video! Keep them coming!
Loved it so much 😂 can’t wait for the next episode!
I love this new series! ❤
Excellent job guys... Congratulations 🎊
I think the most innovated was cascadia and then i see the volcano 😂 great job both of you! I love so much this video i cant wait for the next one 💖
Amazing job! You just invented the board game remodeling subgenre. I’m in!
Good fun as always - thanks!
This was a super-fun video😂. Please do more!
Wow! Amazing! Off to paint my minies... :D

Love the QR code idea.
Absolutely amazing job. Love the video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very awesome video guys! 🎉
Thanks for watching
This was amazing!would love to see more
Nice video!!!
this was so funny! would love to see more for sure
Loved it, amazing!
T you went far and beyond! Curious about your Eldritch suggestions
Absolutely great video format!
See if a manufacturer would do a preorder for the winner! (War of the ring!)
You guys are insane 🎉😂 best duo out there
Now I want to get a copy of war of the ring just to make this my years long craft project
The flag idea in War of the Ring was genius.
That WOTR is insane. That's not a deluxe edition, that's Kickstarter all perks.
Great video!
Thanks!
How did the Treat of Defeat, err..Sweet Taste of Defeat...errrr...Yeah, how did it taste? 😜 A great idea, by the way. 😜
I love the idea of the animal tokens for Cascadia but it kind of defeats the point of blind picking from the bag.
You still pick the regular tokens from the bag and replace them with animal ones once they are out of the bag ;)
Literally had goosebumps

This looks so much better than the Collector's Edition! Please invite me for a game! :D
This was AWESOME!!!
Gotta upgrade that corruption bag to glass gems. T really half arsed it.
Fantastic! More please!
One of my favourite videos of yours.
Realized I had not yet subscribed. This video made me discover that mistake. Great job. Very fun.
Thanks for the sub!
Guys , if this video came out in 2020 the sanitiser upgrade would blow up for sure 😂🔝🔝🔝🔝
How on earth did you paint WotR (and more!) in only one month of time? 😳
Im close to finishing mine, but it will have taken me like a year (ofc with some pauses) to finish it😬
But its worth the time for that beauty and beast of a game 😍
And btw: T. 🤪
SUCH A COOL CONCEPT. AND GAMES I LIKE :D
This is such a good channel
How did you paint the minis in a month? It took me 4 months almost painting everyday for 1 to 3 hours 😂
This was Great!!
How many times do inserts not allow for sleeved cards...?
Espetacular!!!! Nice!! Perfect!!!!
I was excited for Cascadia upgrades, and this guy didn’t even take it seriously what a shame.
Thanks for the video! Is there a link to the template for the war of the ring stickers to ease setup?
Here you go - boardgamegeek.com/filepage/291194/setup-stickers-for-the-war-of-the-ring-board
What a fun idea!!
