This is straight up free therapy for board game hoarders 😀And man, you guys are setting the bar for humor done right - not the usual cheesy & cringe stuff. Hope to meet you one day in Essen - greetings from Romania!
I feel for you Janis, I did this recently, just because of kid is getting a room some of the games was stored in that "I played so often" :D It is hard
It's an addiction. I have 196 games and 26 I've not yet played. Kinda madness. I've got a 4' x 2' metal shop shelf 5 shelves. I polished the galvanized steel and it's deep enough to put 95% of my games in, library book style, on each side of the shelves. I don't have enough years left on Earth to get serious use out of them. all.
@@BoardGameHangover good question! I‘ve never thought about that; if my 2 double u’s allow it, maybe I’ll come spontaneously (wife&wallet) 😜 Will let you know if I attend 😊
@@BoardGameHangover good for the most part. My collection was starting to move into hording, so I'm grateful for the space. It will give me space for upcoming crowdfunding games and new games to come. It is sad that I didn't play the Pandemic Legacy trilogy, but after the pandemic, none of my friends really had any interest in diving into that journey. I wrote my purge list two weeks ahead of actually doing it. It allowed me to get comfortable with the effort. I know that sounds weird, but your comments in the video resonated with me. I'm glad other folks can get the games to the table.
This was probably the best and most entertaining board game purge video I've seen yet. Similar to you, I am also limited to a shelf, so basically forced to operate on a "one-in, one-out" system!
7th Continent needs to stay. Don’t you get rid of it! 😂 That game is huge and fun, but I reduced space with a card storage box… so storage was easier 🙌
Yeah this was such a lovely and funny and entertaining video, I feel like I learned about you two more as friends, and it was very refreshing and nice to watch! Definitely a subscriber now and not just a lurker xD Great content, and definitely relatable for anyone who's ever had to move or clean their house!!! XD
great video guys! I'd really like to see a review of some of the older games in your shelf like combat commander for example. Also liked to know what your thinking about about too many bones :)
I have a very clingy and soft spot for games I own (Board Games or Video Games). I hold on to them usually due to sentimental values, sentimental by mean my engagement with the game and to myself when playing them. This is a hard watch but was really funny 😂.
Super-duper channel! Stumbled on it while I was looking for Return to Dark Tower reviews so I’m checking out your content. I really like the high production quality with down-to-earth delivery, the informative and thoughtful opinions, and the funny quips. Either you were hiding or I just got out of the cave…
Loved this video! Guys, hands down, you have to play Hegemony. It just blew me away. Playing as the capitalist and charge way too much for food was a little too satisfaying 😅
@@BoardGameHangover It is one of my favorite comic series of all time! Although, I haven't had a chance to read anything after #54 back in 2018. Just stopped getting comics all together and haven't taken the time to find the newest issues.
Ohhh, Eila and Something Shiny I'd definitely love to see reviewed! Btw a simple equation: time available divided by number of games in collection equal how much dedication you can give to your favourite games. After realizing that, I went from 120+ games to 33. I never looked back.
What a bittersweet but liberating feeling to purge your collection. Sad to see Nemesis (I think) not making the cut. It was one of your must haves! I just got a copy and looking forward to play it. As for a boardgame review request I would like to see Hegemony or Tiletum next!
Glad to see you kept "Here I Stand" and "Virgin Queen". I'm dying to play both. Will likely never play either. The bane of most board gamers is lack of persons with whom to play the games we want to play. If we all lived near each other, things would be much easier.
Just my Imperial Assault, Armada, X-Wing and Edge of the Empire wouldn't fit on that shelf (which is why they're not on my shelves, but in totes or closets). And they're just four of my more than a hundred games.
This was hilarious and painful at the same time! 😂 you did such a better job than me, last time trying to make some space 🙈 and hence the reason, I’ve never sent a shelfie 🤣 it’s still a huge mess & I put some even away in boxes in the attic thinking „if I don’t miss them during a year, I need to let go of them for good“ - I’m always trying to find a loophole 😉 congratulations on your decluttering journey and keep up your awesome channel 🥳 PS. Your wife will probably hate me for saying this now, but I actually do think that it is a bit unfair to keep your family games, her favourite ones AND your comics in „your“ shelf 🫣 but guess that‘s the „loophole hunter“ in me 😂 I’m truly happy to hear that she was happy and wish both of your families only the best and lots of fun playing together ☺️
I think if the rule is all boardgames are only on that shelf, you should be allowed to move your comics/books off to a diffrent shelf to have those inportant few inches. also any games that now seeing the extra room you pulled back?
If you ever need some extra space I would happily take that Mechs vs Minions 😂 Idk if you are Warcraft fan, but this episode reminded me of The Culling of Stratholme, or should i say The Culling of Janis 😂 hahahahaha
Will I wake up tomorrow and think ‘What did I do’. When all he had done was move them around a bit and said he was keeping them all 😂. My one year anniversary in the hobby is coming up and it has to be the day I also stop buying games. I must have at least 30 unplayed games and I have about eight kickstarters coming over the next year and that’s more than enough.
This was so painful to watch. You can see the sadness on Janis' face and in his body language. I feel bad when this happens to people. Being forced to cull their beloved game collection because others don't appreciate the hobby. Games are such a joyful and happy experience for me, it would feel the emotional impact if I was forced to get rid of them.

This is straight up free therapy for board game hoarders 😀And man, you guys are setting the bar for humor done right - not the usual cheesy & cringe stuff. Hope to meet you one day in Essen - greetings from Romania!
We will be there this year, so who knows, you might get a chance.
you guys are the most fresh and entertaining youtubers about board games, keep up the good work! Greetings from Argentina!
Thanks so much! And greetings from Latvia ;)
This was one of the funniest videos of the year. 😂👏 I will watch it again in the evening, you made my day, thank you. 🙏
Thank you for the great comment ;)
@@BoardGameHangover You are welcome. 🙂 Any chance to meet you at Essen Spiel this year?
@@michaldurovicYes! We'll be there and are planning to maybe do a supporters gathering if there are enough people interested:)
@@JTilaks That would be awesome! 😁 I will be there the first 2 days. Will you make some post about it or should I go to Discord?
We'll make a community post when we agree on the details :) @@michaldurovic
my own "not enough room, must purge some games" existential crisis rapidly approaches, so i felt this.
Good luck friend! You will need it.
Fun video, love it! Lovely home and hard task. We all need a JT in our lives to help make the tough decisions.
Indeed we do!
The shelf looks so nice now! 👏🏼 also, I spotted Darwin's Journey on the review pile... Yes please!
Thanks and maybe in the future we will do a review of it.
This was one of my fav videos this year!! Can‘t wait for the next vids!!
Thanks for the support and great comments.
Super entertaining and some hard decisions for sure
Thanks.
I feel for you Janis, I did this recently, just because of kid is getting a room some of the games was stored in that "I played so often" :D It is hard
Ah, it is, it is so very very hard. Be strong.
It's an addiction.
I have 196 games and 26 I've not yet played.
Kinda madness.
I've got a 4' x 2' metal shop shelf 5 shelves. I polished the galvanized steel and it's deep enough to put 95% of my games in, library book style, on each side of the shelves.
I don't have enough years left on Earth to get serious use out of them. all.
Now that the collection is more tidy, we need a Janis board game tour!
That is a nice idea, we will consider it.
@@BoardGameHangover I understand if he is still too emotionally devestated.
Ahhh, the classic "I have to play it one more time (to fully understand it and then decide)", made me laugh so much 😂.
The new shelf looks soo good 👌🏻 Very impressive, Jānis, bravo! 👏🏻
Thanks.
Damn that's Brutal (yes with a big B). That's also a pretty small shelf, especially for a board game channel 🤣😅
Very nice shelf in the end though.
Just at 0:40 but already wanna say: I‘m proud of you JG. You did, what many men before you have tried but failed.
3:41 how much for fast & furious? 😊
6:00 have you reviewed Eila and something shiny yet? Always wanted that game^^
@@RamyASMR not yet, but it will show up in one of our videos for sure.
@@RamyASMR any chance you are going to Essen Spiel this year?
@@BoardGameHangover good question! I‘ve never thought about that; if my 2 double u’s allow it, maybe I’ll come spontaneously (wife&wallet) 😜 Will let you know if I attend 😊
12:05 laughed out loud 😂 funny video and so relatable
This was hilarious 😂 I had to do the same recently, so I feel you!
But it does feel good afterwards, right?
Love the video!!! But Awww poor Janis! Heres an emotional support hug! 🫂
On the flip side, the shelves look great!!
So funny. I’m going through the same thing. After watching this I guess I have no excuses. I might start this weekend. 😒
Be strong! ;)
Congratulations! I purged an eighth of my collection earlier this month.
How do you feel afterwards?

Id love to get Hegemony! Love what you guys do thanks!
Move your Saga comics to another shelf! That'll give more room for a board game!
You guys are awesum! Love all your content. Top notch like always with so many funny (but true) moments!
Nice job, will wait topic with all these games for sale :P
This was probably the best and most entertaining board game purge video I've seen yet. Similar to you, I am also limited to a shelf, so basically forced to operate on a "one-in, one-out" system!
Ah, the good old "one-in, one-out" system ;)
This was actually hilarious to watch! You earned yourself a new subscriber 😄
Greetings from your northern neighbour!
Amazing video! One day is going to be my time, and i am feeling that moment is closer!
7th Continent needs to stay. Don’t you get rid of it! 😂 That game is huge and fun, but I reduced space with a card storage box… so storage was easier 🙌
If only you were closer in the US, I’d buy sooo many of those you were getting rid of lol.
Actually, probably a good thing you aren’t lol

I totally get that, some of the games I have kept are exactly for those reasons.

I'd like to see your review on Circadians First Light
I loved this video. Keep sharing any purges you guys do
Thank you! Will do!
You mean to tell me it's possible to have too many board games!?
I feel the pain with the war games. I also haven’t played most of mine. Also Saga is phenomenal👌🏻
started the hobby early this year and I was surprised to get a rush of anxiety watching this...
Love all the Saga books on the shelf 😍
Have you read them?
@@BoardGameHangover It is one of my favorite comic series of all time! Although, I haven't had a chance to read anything after #54 back in 2018. Just stopped getting comics all together and haven't taken the time to find the newest issues.
you guys are too damn funny! This also made me realize my shelf space is almost maxed...eeek!
Man this was a great Video, one of your bests, loved it!❤
Thanks so much.
You are a brave, brave, brave man! Good on ya!
Thank you!
Ohhh, Eila and Something Shiny I'd definitely love to see reviewed!

I'm loving Janis G.'s haircut! Looking good dude!
Thanks so much! And now excuse me while I blush. /Jānis G.

Good on you! I feel like I need to do this. But, man alive does it seem tough.
😂😂😂 Gorgeous!! Best video you ever made!! 😂😂😂
Thanks so much!
wow, crazy how many games went out, good video
Glad to see you kept "Here I Stand" and "Virgin Queen". I'm dying to play both. Will likely never play either. The bane of most board gamers is lack of persons with whom to play the games we want to play. If we all lived near each other, things would be much easier.
That would be great indeed. Where are you from? /JG
@@BoardGameHangover Pennsylvania, USA
Not quite close enough for a commute.
Really love that gmt row! 😉
Great video. ... Review Sub Terra II... Please!
"I think i'm gonna have space left over for new games!" was the realest thing I've heard.
Hope it lasts.
Just my Imperial Assault, Armada, X-Wing and Edge of the Empire wouldn't fit on that shelf (which is why they're not on my shelves, but in totes or closets). And they're just four of my more than a hundred games.
Hegemony looks looks like a really interesting game to review
Another review request and counting ;)
This was hilarious and painful at the same time! 😂 you did such a better job than me, last time trying to make some space 🙈 and hence the reason, I’ve never sent a shelfie 🤣 it’s still a huge mess & I put some even away in boxes in the attic thinking „if I don’t miss them during a year, I need to let go of them for good“ - I’m always trying to find a loophole 😉 congratulations on your decluttering journey and keep up your awesome channel 🥳
PS. Your wife will probably hate me for saying this now, but I actually do think that it is a bit unfair to keep your family games, her favourite ones AND your comics in „your“ shelf 🫣 but guess that‘s the „loophole hunter“ in me 😂 I’m truly happy to hear that she was happy and wish both of your families only the best and lots of fun playing together ☺️
Would love to see a review of hegemony!
That is quite a popular demand.
I think if the rule is all boardgames are only on that shelf, you should be allowed to move your comics/books off to a diffrent shelf to have those inportant few inches. also any games that now seeing the extra room you pulled back?
I will have to do a shelf cleaning of my comics books then ;) Yes some are, for example Descent Legends of the Dark
Eila and Something shiny still available? maybe it's way too late now 😅
You guys are amazing!
now we need a run down of what games you kept!
This video is so funny!
Love your guys content
Thanks so much.
this was SO FUN!!!!!!! I laughed many times! :D:D
This is so difficult to do. My wife keeps asking me to get rid of games too. But no ultimatum yet. 😂
Great video! Sad to see Concordia go tho..... :(
Yeah, can't seem to get my family to play that. However the ones I can play with already have their own copies.
Would love Holotype to be reviewed. Been in the fence in getting it
We might feature it in one of our videos.
but SAGA is not a game. Move that to a different shelf immediately 😂
Oh man, that means I will have to start dealing with all the books ;)
See that is a life choice and the choice is also BOARD GAMES. The family that plays together stays together.
Indeed they do!
I enjoy your videos so much💯💜
Thanks so much!
A Janis G purge? This should be interesting.
I hope it is.
@@BoardGameHangover You two never disappoint.
Great video so funny. Are you going to do a video to show us which games you got rid of? Or too painful? Lol
Lollllllll laughing out loud watching this 😂
I now feel like I need to get rid of Concordia
thats best friend right there playing devil's advocate saving him the divorce
Hilarious! Good job
Thanks so much!
If you ever need some extra space I would happily take that Mechs vs Minions 😂
Idk if you are Warcraft fan, but this episode reminded me of The Culling of Stratholme, or should i say The Culling of Janis 😂 hahahahaha
Heh, no MvM is staying for now, my son and wife like that one ;) I have played all three RTS games.
I felt your pain. Review Tiletum Please.
You have to review hegemony pls 😘
Did I see nemesis in the getting rid of pile?!?!? Say it isn’t so?????
What was the “best kids game ever” that you mentioned?
That was quite the cull! You guys still taking submissions for shelfies?
Hegemony review please!!
I'm not sure that's fair! Your wife and family insist on keeping a game, and you have to put it on your shelf! 😂
Awesome. Period.😂
Dibs on Witness!
If I decide to sell, I will let you know ;)
My Stomach hurts, you guys are hilarius,
Damn, seeing Concordia there hurt, but I understand if it's not your cup of tea.
Please review Hegemony!
Concordia Gone? How?
The only kind of cleansing that one wants to watch 😂
Review all the war games.
Please review Hegemony!
So many requests for this! I guess we will have to comply ;)
Will I wake up tomorrow and think ‘What did I do’. When all he had done was move them around a bit and said he was keeping them all 😂.
My one year anniversary in the hobby is coming up and it has to be the day I also stop buying games.
I must have at least 30 unplayed games and I have about eight kickstarters coming over the next year and that’s more than enough.
where can I find that shelf?
That’s exactly what I want to know!
Which shelf is that?
@@BoardGameHangover The one you put the „games to keep“ in. Is it self-made?
Oh, that one ;) It was custom made for a local board game store and when they were switching to newer ones I got it from them.
+1 for hegemony review
Another request and counting.
Only respect for your GMT collection Janis! Cried a bit with SPQR 😢
Yes indeed. On other hand, it has been 10 years I have had that game and 0 times played it.
This is what lofts are made for 🙃
This was so painful to watch. You can see the sadness on Janis' face and in his body language. I feel bad when this happens to people. Being forced to cull their beloved game collection because others don't appreciate the hobby. Games are such a joyful and happy experience for me, it would feel the emotional impact if I was forced to get rid of them.
In the end it was not so bad. I mean, I freed space for new ones ;)
1 wife vs so many games... hmmmm, easy choice ;-)
Dude cmon, it is not easy. I do love my games.
hegemony review!!
Another request and counting.
