The constant board gamer’s struggle of packing more games than you’ll ever actually play and yet feeling like you’re missing a game you should be bringing 😂 Enjoy the summer!
Can we PLEEEAAASSSEEE for like 1 every 2 months a video of Renee roasting your choices ... It makes for an EMMY worthy episode. Also, every time you talk about Dorian, I think of Dorian Grey.
There are a lot of games and nice to know which are your choices. Thanks for the info.❤
I love your packing / purge videos!
I agree! These are some of my favorites with the deliberations.
Every one should have a shelf of games that equate to fine china, games that only come off of the shelf for truly special guests like you might pull them off the shelf if the queen comes for a visit.
Oh man, you packed waaaay more games than I thought possible into the second bag!! I woulda prioritized Heat over some of the heavier games, but you have a great variety of games for every occasion. I look forward to the recap video at the end of the summer!
The cut to Canvas and Incan Gold 😂
Loved having her comments. Made me laugh..
Anytime I've packed games for a trip or convention, I never end up rly playing much of them. That's probably because I have a kid so my time is very split. On my recent cruise I realistically only played Railroad Ink and Arkham Horror, when I packed probably 6 more games on top of it. Did I need to pack those extra games? No. I've never historically played more than one or two I bring on a trip. Will I continue to pack my entire shelf as if I will? yeah probably 😂
Am amazed how you can play this many while away plus how you manage to convince people to play with you outside of your partner baffles me. Most people CBF or aren't willing to try.
Oh btw Chris... I've backed your Neighbors game and will be joining your group but! Thanks for putting it together. 😅
I absolutely love Rococo! Also, hope you add canvas later 🤣
Thank you for not disappointing with the Final Packdown / Final Countdown riff!
Bring on a Rococo review!!! I've commented before how interested I am in it and still have not had the extra to pick it up. Hard to justify a game with a $100+ buy in and maybe a review from you would help me really decided if I should continue to pine after it or move on. So glad that you love Dutch Blitz as well! My family love it and it never gets any coverage from reviewers. I was completely unaware of the purple expansion and just added it to my wishlist. Really hope you can get through a good portion of these games! Safe travels!
Dune Imperium is so much fun and one of my favorites. I got to play the 6-player team mode of Dune Uprising a few weeks ago, and it was epic!!!
Also, playing as a Commander really changed up my decision making as a lot of my choices focused on boosting my teammates. The Maud'dib team leaned into combat and won most of the conflicts, but the Emperor team got a lot of influence and won a couple key conflicts along with getting plenty of intrigue cards and solari and was able to squeak out a come-from-behind one point win even though a Maud'dib player got to 10 points first.
I feel so much better about myself. LOL, Thanks friend, Great video!
Welcome back to Halifax! Don't forget Boardroom Game Cafe is here in case you have a hankering for a particular game 😊
GAH is 3 max. Strongly discourage 4 player. Especially if they are new. Have a great summer. Hey... I know Dirk!
Coup is my favorite board game to play with non-gamers; quick to learn, quick rounds, only kind of subject to luck since you can bluff anything you want, and in the same vein it isn't a game that can be "solved" so it is really balanced between new and experienced players (albeit there are sometimes "best moves" like always claiming contessa or calling BS if your last card is about to be assassinated). Probably the only negative is that you really need 4+ people for it to be really fun; 2 is horrible and 3 almost always ends up with "king maker" moments.
#Cysmic ... especially after update 10 holy crap what an update !!
I totally get the struggle for packing games. I took a dozen games to my college reunion and ended up playing 2. My friends really enjoyed Deadly Dowagers and Ra.
How could you forget the great Night Cage?!
I couldn't survive a summer without Cascadia, Sagrada, and Marvel Champions now. I could purge a fair number of heroes and villains in MC to save some space.
a 37 minute clip about Chris packing terraforming mars?
I thought distilled was quite good. Played it twice at bgg spring and liked it a lot. Super tight economy.
Sky Team, Star Wars deck builder for those intimate 2p sessions
Great video Chris :)
Reflection of me every 2 weekends when I go to my hometown visit family and friends :3
That second bag was a board game bag? Seems a bit bigger than usual. What brand is it?
Cheers
It's from a company called Crafting Kingdoms. Honestly I've stuffed both bags too full that the straps have broken on both, but to be fair to Crafting Kingdoms that one was just a prototype bag of theirs that I kept and not the real thing
All great choices. No notes.
You ask "What did i forget to pack" while a copy of Spicify is _in frame?_
Two thumbs up for Grand Austria Hotel, Cascadia, Rococo, and Avalon. Rear Window, Distilled, and Ra are also solid choices. If you don't include the The in The Red Cathedral, I will beat you silly. Swap out The Hunger for Heat. Others from your collection worth considering: Beast, Codenames, Revive, and I'm sure you can find room for Scythe.
Beast was already in Halifax with Verdant haha
@@RoomandBoardReviews Well played! 😄
How many games did you throw in the slow cooker?
This is great! We are leaving for 2 weeks next week and I’ve been wondering what to bring. I need small box games and I have my list. I’m so curious to see what you end up choosing since I’m at the beginning of the video right now and see what lines up with what I chose.
The two games I’ll be adding to my suitcase are 20 strong and reviving Kathmandu. Totally forgot how big those games are in such small packages. I’ll also be getting a copy of Dutch blitz because I keep forgetting how much you love it and we will have the free time to learn how to play
I bought Dutch blitz using targets buy one get one half off sale and we played it last night. My wife loves this game so much and she celebrated this pick. We had fun with 4 people. Is the extra 4 packs worth it in the expansion to play with more than 4 people? They were reluctant to add anyone else but I think it would be chaotic and exciting with more than 4.
@@HeeeeySteve I think it's fun with more and it's cheap enough just to have or when the cards wear out. Definitely chaotic though
I’m also packing for a trip and want to bring a game or two but the whole purpose of the trip is not games or fun so it’s don’t want to pack anything *too* big. IDK. Maybe Coup and Telestrations or something? Sushi Go Party?
This list is absolutely wild. I'd bring a few big boxes (ie TTR size), but Im very much about best bang for your buck. Rising Sun and Rococo deluxe are absolutely wild takes to travel with. Is your trunk dedicated to all the board games? Im only halfway through the vid too!
Haha had to bring Rising Sun, it's my favourite and my friend hasn't played it yet!
Noooooo. Not Heat. 😢
He Chris, Love the bantering between you and Renee. I love the fun you both seem to have. She sounds like a Canadian UA-camr called GeminiTay (not her UA-cam-voice though). Are they somehow related?
Well, hope to hear more of Renee comment you realtime in the future, and good luck on the job!
She says "She IS a Gemini....."
@@RoomandBoardReviews Well that is at least something and explains everything! 😄
@Chris How did you get a copy of the way out of print T&E? One of Knizia's GOAT! So good!
I've had it for a long while :)
1:24 Tapestry you say? 🤔
TI4 😉
Is that a copy of Morels on the shelf behind you?
It is, Renee loves that one
@@RoomandBoardReviews lol. I was sure I wasn't the only person that owned a copy, I just wasn't sure where the other person was.
So to be clear, René has confirmed, it's the size that matters?
That seems to be what she's saying!!
Hello! We have sent you an email asking about a review. Could you check your spam folder and let us know if you're interested?
We hope you didn't forget about any important games! :D
So very specific and helpful to know what game it is as well!
@@RoomandBoardReviews Ah sorry! I was sure I'm posting from the publisher account! It's Two Acorns Games and the game is a dungeon crawler roll and write.
