I have a collection of three hundred games and the only one I have from this “ shelf of shame” presentation is the Santorini expansion. 🤣🤣. So many games! This weekend I played two ( new for me) games: Project L and The Whatnot Cabinet. I enjoyed them both. 👍
We have played Black Angel since we filmed this, and we would agree - really fun game! A bit surprised you don't hear about it more. Thanks for watching!
I love the ambition of playing every single game you showed after you finished the video 😊. Also, Board Game Co said that Valor and Villany is a pretty long game, so I wonder if that was an estimate of 25 minutes per player?
Haha we started this weird joke where we said we’d “play it today” then just rolled with it the whole video. It likely was 25 / player you’re right. Makes sense given how long it took us to play in the couple sessions we did.
Hey guys! Another solid video. You shelf of shame makes me feel terrible with my unplayed games, it’s so embarrassing. I love Jeff’s response to some of the games, “I have no idea what this one is about.” Then, “...we are playing this one today.” Love you guys and your content. Just catching up with stuff now that I’m back from vacation.
Welcome back Jazz! I really ran with the "we will play this one today" bit. We did not in fact, play most of them that day. Sometimes I think I am funnier than I am haha. Yeah the shelf of shame is real - we thought it was way smaller then it was until we started pulling games off the shelf.
@@FostertheMeeple this episode I was rolling laughing. I love the comedy. At least you played some games. I would have said I was gonna play them and then something would have come up, I’d look at my watch only to see that it was almost midnight and got nothing played.
Definitely try Betrayal if you like horror... I love the exploring the haunted house part, but there are also 50 scenarios to explore, so definitely great if you can get a group together.
Some great titles there. Have fun exploring your opportunity games. By the way, I have determined I am part of #TeamJeff (I do not play Co-op games either).
My wife and I love your channel. Great videos and keep it up. Some of our favorite 2 player games from your shelf are: Back to the Future: Back In Time (it is just like playing the movie and is very difficult but fun). Tiny Towns Fortune should just always be combined with the base game. It is a great addition. Black Angel is medium weight and takes a bit to get the hang of but is really rewarding and cool.Quest for El Dorado is a great racing and deck building game. We love this one. Those are some of our favorites. I hope that helps. Enjoy and happy gaming.
This is amazing!! We actually played Black Angel right after this video was filmed, we had a really great time playing it! Jamie really wants to play Back to the Future but the difficulty level certainly has us hesitating. Really appreciate you watching and the recommendations!!
Thought the Blackout Hong Kong board was sorted out in the 2nd edition, which I believe is what you have?... Anyway Covid has certainly put a damper on the game playing for everyone so I understand . I have quite a few that have not seen anything but solo play this past year as well. Looking forward to more social times soon hopefully. Thanks for another great video!
You are probably correct on the board! (we haven't even opened the box yet haha) We have a tendency to gravitate towards games we don't have to learn - but we are trying to get better at playing these games! Appreciate you watching!
@@FostertheMeeple I'm sure you could get it done in one but we played it after the kids went to bed. If you get it played you'll have to let me know how it goes! Haha
I know I am a bit late to the party, I am rewatching your videos. I really enjoyed this one. Betrayal at house on the hill and Arkham Horror LCG is great and Istanbul I also like. Most of the other ones I have not played either.
Thank you for the kind words! Virtual friends it is! We are looking forward to getting in to playing some of these games. We really appreciate you watching!
I own about ten games I havent played. I have fair excuses for most of them, so I'm honestly not that ashamed. Still would like to play a bunch of them.
By the way, if you have all of the games for the North Sea Trilogy, I recommend picking up the North Sea Runesaga which is a meta-game that consists of playing all three games in the series and as you progress through the series, players earn runes which confer benefits to bring into the next game. At the end, there will be an overall winner of the Runesaga as well.
pictionary air....😏...the shake weight of board games..come on...how did someone from marketing not go..."uhhh...guys, we may want to rethink the packaging on that one"
I want to get Dune to the table. Waiting for vaccinations of friends... apparently it really needs the full compliment of players to shine. I hope you enjoyed Black Angel! My wife and I pull that out decently regularly. Also, Arkham Horror LCG is amazing!! The base box isn't as good as the next cycle, but it's a lot of fun even still. I like it best at two with dark ambient music. Be prepared to fail miserably 😄 Ooh!!! Mage Knight is amazing. Worth a try, but it is a bit of a bear to learn. It won't be for everyone, but I love it! It has a tutorial game to play through, so that's nice at least.
Yea as primarily two player right now, like yourself - we may leave Dune until we can play with others. We really like Black Angel (we played it since filming) we are going to get another play through soon - we liked it a lot! Arkham horror needs to be played, just so much push from viewers to get into that one!
The differences between TI3 and TI4 are mostly cosmetic with a few rules changes. The main differences is TI4 has all the races from TI3 and the two TI3 expansions in TI4's core game... and the changes to how the tech tree works and the Strategy Action Cards were revamped. Overall though, how you play the gamea is identical. You need at least 4 players, lots of table space, and some suckers... I mean players... willing to play for 6 to 24 hours (not really 24 hours, more like 8 hours) and experience the greatest sci-fi board game space epic ever designed. Oh, and watch a few reviews and some gameplay.
Let me try to remember here!!! Black Angel, Valour & Villainy, Back to the Future, Tiny Towns Fortune, Small World of Warcraft, Quest for El Dorado, Marvel Villainous! All knocked off the list. Thanks so much for the kind words!
Some definitely are but a lot have left the collection. Ones we still have that are not played off this list: Mage Knight TI: 3 Star Wars Rebellion Blackout: Hong Kong
@@horoshiHT we have played it a handful of times and have a ton of fun each time. Definitely recommend it if you get a chance to play it. (We also love clank) I really want to try out Dune Imperium. I loved the book. We have regular Dune but it’s not yet hit the table.
We did! It is called Ermahgerd Berks, we post over there very infrequently - it was most active many years ago. We don't read as much as we used to, but still certainly enjoy a good book when we can!
Heat the house or buy more games.......a choice was made! Also, I thought you were real gamers but if that small list of games is all you will play today you clearly aren’t serious about this hobby. 😜
Haha can confirm, we were unable to play them all. We DID however play Black Angel. SUCCESS! Who heats a basement when there are so many games to buy right? Thanks for watching!!

Awesome! We really enjoy project L. Very fun little puzzler
I like Black Angel a lot. Lots of moving parts to get used to but pretty fun.
Black Angelllllll is best !
We have played Black Angel since we filmed this, and we would agree - really fun game! A bit surprised you don't hear about it more. Thanks for watching!
I'm subscribing because you said you're playing so many games in the one day...
Can confirm - only played one haha. But we did try....and failed! Thanks so much for subbing and watching!
@@FostertheMeeple hahaha I thought you were aiming high! I know a lot of those games take a decent amount of time + learning too haha
I love the ambition of playing every single game you showed after you finished the video 😊. Also, Board Game Co said that Valor and Villany is a pretty long game, so I wonder if that was an estimate of 25 minutes per player?

Lots of great games there. Black Angel is excellent! Back to the Future is fun. Enjoyed the video as always.
Thanks a ton! We are going to try to get BttF to the table soon. Black Angel has been knocked off the list since filming, agreed - excellent game!

bring your own book is so fun, and you can even play it over zoom. The odder the book the better the source material.
We have been chatting with some friends and we might do it over zoom! Thanks for this!
Some great titles there. Have fun exploring your opportunity games. By the way, I have determined I am part of #TeamJeff (I do not play Co-op games either).
One of us, one of us, one of us
Thanks for watching! Welcome to the best team, the winning team, #teamjeff

A lot of awesome games, I would love to see you guys do a play through of Istanbul. Thank you so much 👍
Thank you for watching! We will add Istanbul to the playthrough list!

Star Wars Rebellion took us four days to play and it ended with my Death Star getting destroyed :'( haha Great video again guys!!
This does not entice me to play Rebellion one bit. However, a 4 day epic battle where I reign supreme over Jamie? Sign me up!
@@FostertheMeeple I'm sure you could get it done in one but we played it after the kids went to bed. If you get it played you'll have to let me know how it goes! Haha

There’s been a lot of love thrown to Istanbul - it likely will hit our table very soon.
@@FostertheMeeple Enjoy! We need to bring it to the table again also with the expansions.
Still have soooo many games on our Shelf of Shame!
so many great titles I really want to play. I wish I was you guys friends to play them all! but I am from Brazil, haha.
Thank you for the kind words! Virtual friends it is! We are looking forward to getting in to playing some of these games. We really appreciate you watching!
I own about ten games I havent played. I have fair excuses for most of them, so I'm honestly not that ashamed. Still would like to play a bunch of them.
They can add up quickly! Try to stay ahead of the curve for sure!
Curiosity wonders how many of these games of shame you have played since doing this video. I have 38 games on my shelves of shame myself.
We have gotten through a fair amount - not sure the number but we’ve made a conscious effort to get through them!
By the way, if you have all of the games for the North Sea Trilogy, I recommend picking up the North Sea Runesaga which is a meta-game that consists of playing all three games in the series and as you progress through the series, players earn runes which confer benefits to bring into the next game. At the end, there will be an overall winner of the Runesaga as well.
Oh cool! We had heard of this concept for the Architects trilogy, did not know it existed for the North Sea as well! We will check it out for sure.
How do I get in on all these auctions? It’s nice seeing some fellow Haligonians in the board game space on UA-cam!
#teamhalifax!!
Mariner Auctions is the local one we check out time to time. It’s online, should be easy to find! (Pickup location is in Dartmouth).
You really have to play Istanbul. It is such a great pick up and deliver game. There lots of expansions that really add to the game as well.
This is the second reco for Istanbul! We are going to try it out this weekend! Thanks for watching!

It’s more than likely something I will have to play without Jamie. Not sure there’s much there for me to sell her on - but I’ll keep trying!
So what did you guys end up playing? Love the channel keep up the great work.
Let me try to remember here!!!
Black Angel, Valour & Villainy, Back to the Future, Tiny Towns Fortune, Small World of Warcraft, Quest for El Dorado, Marvel Villainous! All knocked off the list.
Thanks so much for the kind words!
@@FostertheMeeple Wow you went through many more than I imagined.. Cool.
@@dultanur haha we are making an actual effort to get through this because they keep getting replace with new games!
I was the one in the comments last time suggesting Arkham Horror LCG. I'm still going to suggest Arkham Horror 😅😂
Haha we are vowing to get this to the table soon, in honor of your suggestions!
I’m watching this for the first time and I’m very curious to know if any of these are still unplayed after a year?
Some definitely are but a lot have left the collection. Ones we still have that are not played off this list:
Mage Knight
TI: 3
Star Wars Rebellion
Blackout: Hong Kong
@@FostertheMeeple your list of unplayed is doing a lot better than mine. I don’t even think I could list them all haha
You guys gotta do a marathon and try to knock out half the list in a day!
Oh boy that is a tall task - but I think we are up for the challenge! Great suggestion!
Have you guys checked out Dune: Imperium? It's worker placement/deck-building and I really enjoy it!
We haven’t tried it yet but it’s on the list! We heard it’s fairly similar to Arnak? (Which we have played)
@@FostertheMeeple I haven’t played that, but it’s by the same guy who created clank!
@@horoshiHT we have played it a handful of times and have a ton of fun each time. Definitely recommend it if you get a chance to play it. (We also love clank)
I really want to try out Dune Imperium. I loved the book. We have regular Dune but it’s not yet hit the table.
You guys are amazing!
This is too kind! We really appreciate it, and thank you for watching. We are loving the support from everyone!
Arkham Horror is my favorite game...so much depth. Get a 2nd Core and then start working through the different stories. Play with friends!
We know! We really have to get into this game!
Omg my boyfriend has Starcraft Risk taking up valuable space, I thought it was just us
He has GREAT taste! It will hit the table someday, Jamie doesn't like risk though.
Black Angellllllllll Huraaayyyyy :)
We have played it since, such a great game!
Where in Canada are you guys?
Halifax, NS!!
So I forgot to ask, how many of those games did you actually play today?
Haha we got to one (Black Angel) - we set ourselves up for failure!
@@FostertheMeeple 😂 👍🏻
do you have a booktube channel as well?
We did! It is called Ermahgerd Berks, we post over there very infrequently - it was most active many years ago. We don't read as much as we used to, but still certainly enjoy a good book when we can!
@@FostertheMeeple cool! ever consider doing a match a book with a board game video?
@@craigtyler7235 We haven't but this is a great idea!
It would suck to live in Canada with the ridiculous restrictions
Why do you have so many games unplayed? Are these all new to the collection?
In most cases they are either new games, or games with a steep learning curve that we are intimidated by! haha
Or stolen from Zachs collection. ;)
Your heating system is broke :)
Haha no - it is just forever cold down there, especially in the winter! We have a wood fireplace but then it is too hot!
Heat the house or buy more games.......a choice was made!
Also, I thought you were real gamers but if that small list of games is all you will play today you clearly aren’t serious about this hobby. 😜
Haha can confirm, we were unable to play them all. We DID however play Black Angel. SUCCESS! Who heats a basement when there are so many games to buy right? Thanks for watching!!
