One year I will go to PAXU! have so much fun and enjoy meeting your amazing community members <3
So excited 🎉this is my first one.
I got to try molly house on TTS recently, it was so good. I can't wait to play it in person or just replay it. I thought the game was going to get an interesting story telling range, and it then exceeded that range on the very first play. Truly wonderful game
I developed Watches and Clocks, and I think it's a REALLY neat game. Lots of unique stuff.
Is there going to be a villainous tornamant this year?
Where is matching hat, in different colour! You’re such a cute looking couple…
I marked that I will be there in the discord, of course, Nancy needs to be counted too since she doesn't do discord (or any social media really).
Have a great time, nice set of games. Excited for Clank Legacy 2. Can't wait to get my copy, but looking forward to see more pictures of it. Hehe, don't they know us Nova Scotians are very friendly.
This video gave me soo much PAX fomo! I hope everyone has an amazing time:)
Got to play Pirates of the High Teas at Rincon in Tucson about a week ago. It was a very cute light weight game. Emily Vincent said Kickstarter planned for March. Propolis sounds right up my alley. Ooooh My Shelfie Dice is going on my list!
Your sweater has thumb holes 😱 please tell me where I can get one😊🩷
I wish I was going to be at PAX-U so I could say hello!
Played inferno at bgg con. Thematically amazing game, rule book isn’t the best. Seemed longer than it needed to be. worth the play but not sure it’s worth adding to collection
lol you guys are so cute with the matching even if it isn’t intentional!
Not to be negative at all just curious. I am kind of shocked the elf creek games will be there for the dickory dock one. Which looks incredible! I just hope and pray when the Kickstarter does fulfill for the dark road that it is them making it. They are by far such a wonderful company and quality mixed with art work it through the roof. Hoping for good thoughts!
Big fans of the channel! Going to PAXU! My husband and I are I’ll try to drop by the meet up! I wanna show Jamie my Gaming Advent Calendar envelopes! 😂
I backed the three music games and super excited!
Ooo propolis looks great
Then there’s watches clocks and hickory docks… I need to check the preview list. And you keep showing more and more good ones. I can’t comment on them all.
Ooh, I got a promotional copy of Flip 7 at Gencon but haven't broken it out yet, sounds like I might need to rectify that.
The Bitewings Jazz set was a Kickstarter project. I backed it. No clue when we are getting them. The three are Cat Blues The Big Gig, Shuffle and Swing, Bebop Shuffle.
This will be our first convention and it's looking to be an awesome one!
My most anticipated game is Video Game Champion. When I read upon the game and seen game play of it. It made remember my childhood when I used to rent games back in the day lol
My 9yo: We'll never meet them; they live in another country.
Me: They go to board game cons.
My 6yo: They go to Gen Con. Mommy, can we go to Gen Con?
I am surprised to hear of Watches and Clocks of Dickory Docks by Elf Creek Games mentioned due to their current situation. I know they currently have a Kickstarter out that nobody has heard any updates about as well. Its sad to see a company like Elf Creek Games going through this when they have such good games. Hopefully, something positive will come of this for the company, because this game looks phenomenal.
Dying laughing only 5 seconds in.
Unfortunately, I am volunteering for Wise Wizard and unable to come to meet you guys. I hope you have a great con!
I play tested both Shuffle 'n Swing and Bebop. Both are excellent, but if I had to pick one, it would be Bebop. Also, one of my favorite covers in years . Finally, I would say it's more tile placement, not worker placement, the dice just randomize the instruments. I hope you get to play and enjoy both.
You two are great. Thanks for the vid and hope you have fun at Pax.
Some fun looking games. As always your passion and excitement gets me interested in games that weren't on my radar. I already have a big backlog and am looking at some older games that are on sale. I guess I will just have to add a few more to the list, KAY!
Crafting the Cosmos caught my eye! The cover alone looks unreal ♡
Classic Jeff – comes to the video shoot wearing exactly what Jamie is already wearing.
Hi! This is my first time going to PAX U and though I won’t be able to go to the meetup as I am enforcing, this seems like a good group!
We had Christopher Westmaas on for an interview and it has me even more hyped to try and demo Lairs at PAXU.
Sadly I'll be running games of Galaxy Trucker during the meetup time.
My wife and I purchase the same hoodie in different colors when we travel places just for the plane ride home, but a a few years ago we had a funny coincidence. I was going up to take her to lunch and run errands in the town she works in. She got up and got dressed and went to work before I was out of bed. When I got ready I went to grab one of the hoodies we got when we were in London and then at the last second decided to choose the other one. and it ended up being the one that she chose for the day as well.
I wish I could afford to go to PaxU to meet you guys and play games in person and not just on BGA.
Lairs looks so good. KTBG hits for us as well.
I've never heard of the Silver Games but I'm intrigued by the look of them.
I'm sad that we're missing PaxU this year, but I hope you both have a blast! I'm also very excited for Lairs (backed it), Flip 7 (bought it as a stocking stuffer), and of course any new Unmatched. I got to playtest the Witcher sets; they're going to be awesome!
The intro reminded me of this week's WWDITS. I just imagine Jamie-as-Laszlo, "Where did you get that sweated shirt!? What a remarkable garment! I must have it!" 🤣
See you in 9 days OMG
Marked that I may be there, since I haven’t received my enforcer schedule and am not sure that I can make that specific time. But super excited to possibly run into y’all during the con!
I've only gotten to play Everdell Duo solo (yes, I recognize the irony) but it's a lot of fun! Probably even better playing with a partner. 🙂 Hope you and everyone going to PaxU has a great time!
Ive got you guys on my schedule and Im hoping to come to the Meet Up!
Thank yall for featuring Holiday Hills!! 😊 can’t wait to meet at PAX and show you the game. Also, SO many amazing games on this list! Fromage, My Shelfie Dice, and others are also on my list if I can swing the time to pick them up 😅. Much love from Memphis!
One day I'll be coming to PAXU…. Maybe…. I hope you all enjoy your time.
A friend of mine was supposed to demo for Elf Creek, but they reached out to him to cancel because they said they're no longer going to be attending 😩
Yall are the sweetest. Thank you guys 😭 can’t wait to see you!
Coming to your meet up at Pax Unplugged. Any chance your going to have any Foster the Meeple merchandise ❤for sale ?
Going to PAXU this year for the first time! I plan on attending the meeting up with my plus one. We can’t wait to meet everyone! Thanks❤
