    Great job on the reorg. I saw Thurn and Taxis in this video. It’s such an amazing game. It may be too beige for Jamie but I promise it’s fun and in a way it’s a racing game. I hope you like it.

      We just got gifted that one! It’s one we’ve wanted to try for awhile! Thanks for the feedback on it

      I recently played it with my daughter after not playing it in years. I thought it would go on the cull pile before playing, but we both had a great time with it. Really nice gateway game-oldie but a goodie!

    My favorite game is Disney Villainous. My favorite villains to play are Prince John, Dr Facilier, Yzma, Pete, Gaston and Madam Mim. I would love to see how good you guys are against me lol 😂

    time for a Tablenauts raid as there is a LOT of culling material to be seen - ripe for a giveaway / charity raffle!

    Where do you sit on storing games on their sides v's flat? I prefer flat because i worry about components getting damaged with boxes on their sides

    • @FostertheMeeple
      @FostertheMeeple  Рік тому

      We are pretty much exclusively on their side. It’s easier to access games that we want to pull off the shelf!

    We just got done with The Adventures of Robin Hood! It is in our top 10 for sure! Where did yall end up putting the board game table? Love the space!

    I did this a few months ago now... but that was a 100 games ago 🤦‍♀️ it's due to be done again 😭

    • @FostertheMeeple
      @FostertheMeeple  Рік тому

      Haha funny how that works! Make space for games, buy games for the space - repeat

  • @dougwarr9459
    @dougwarr9459 Рік тому +1

    I can help you with some space. Just throw Windward in the garbage!! There!!! You have more space and don’t have to play that terrible game. You’re welcome!! 😂

    • @FostertheMeeple
      @FostertheMeeple  Рік тому

      We tend to like mostly everything so I’m sure we won’t mind it haha

    • @sarahschreffler5407
      @sarahschreffler5407 Рік тому

      Honestly--agreed. We have a LOT less games and Windward is one of them and I was just last night asking my son (Whose game it is) If we can get rid of it. It causes arguments in the house so we do not like playing it and now we basically play Wingspan all the times we used to pull out Windward. But my 15 year old is hoping to find another group that likes it and wants to hold onto it in hope

    …so I did a little rough math… There’s over $10k worth of games. It’s probably closer to $20k Canadian.

    For some reason I'm watching this over again and I busted out laughing at "if you guys enjoy watching people trip over board games while trying to put it on shelves..." 2:52

    Nice Job, Jamie! Looks amazing. Too bad Mosaics is too fat

  • @ottowah
    @ottowah Рік тому +2

    You might want to start off by using that available outlet for any sort of backlighting you might be thinking of, as it's a pain to have to take things out and set it up once it's full.

  • @clairemack2750
    @clairemack2750 Рік тому +2

    Are you sure you didn't lose a couple shelves in the move? Maybe the movers misplaced them? 😇

    • @FostertheMeeple
      @FostertheMeeple  Рік тому +1

      You know what? That’s definitely it. Let’s ignore that I moved everything myself. Definitely the movers ;)

    You did such a good job! Categorizing board games is a nightmare! Speaking from experience haha

    An actual Shelf of Shame area is cool idea, love to see it and get updates on it.

  • @snowchamp
    @snowchamp Рік тому +1

    Seeing your organisation also gives a good idea of all the games you own! Fantastic collection. Only a few games appear to be missing! You’ve almost everything good. 😂
    The biggest miss are the T-series games by Daniel Taschini. Some Uwe hits like Feast and Le Havre. Then finally Luciani games namely Grand Austria Hotel, Marco Polo II, Lorenzo il Magnifico, the guy who did Barrage.

    • @FostertheMeeple
      @FostertheMeeple  Рік тому

      We’ve played Teotihuacan, and Jamie’s bro owns it so no need to add it to our collection. Feast for Odin we’ve played a ton of and it’s hard to find in our area - Jamie doesn’t love it so unlikely to be added. Grand Austria Hotel is definitely one we want to add though!

  • @petergross7235
    @petergross7235 Рік тому +1

    Wow....that's a lot of games. I just moved as well and I am also short on shelves. Come on IKEA! I organized mine sort of like the grocery store. Premium top tier (my favorite) games get the eye level spots. All the way down to the unplayed and rarely played games at the very bottom. I didn't organize in any other way but tried to fill the cubes completely (I also hate those gaps and wasted space). Good idea using the drawers for the small box games....mine are all over the place I was wondering how to store those.

    • @FostertheMeeple
      @FostertheMeeple  Рік тому

      Ohhh I like the grocery store idea!! I think we kind of do that subconscious anyway haha

  • @HiddenKeep
    @HiddenKeep Рік тому +1

    do you ever consider consolidating boxes or do you want to keep all expansions in their own box? for instance you Unmatched would all fit into 3 boxes instead of 6

    • @FostertheMeeple
      @FostertheMeeple  Рік тому

      Depends on the game. Unmatched is one we like having all the boxes for. But we consolidate ones we don’t care to keep boxes for

    • @snowchamp
      @snowchamp Рік тому +1

      @@FostertheMeeple I would have placed the bigger boxes of Unmatched behind the smaller boxes of Unmatched and have Unmatched basically fit into a single Kallax cube. Feels better together and you can still see the bigger boxes behind anyway which is cool.

    You might want to start putting rectangle boxed games on their sides so you can fit more games on a single shelf.

    I like how you consider "overflow" to be a neatly organized shelf in another room, rather than the dozens of landmines carpeting the floor.

    • @FostertheMeeple
      @FostertheMeeple  Рік тому

      Hahahah that’s a good point. But the landmines were temporary
