Ep 128: Crumbs!: A Sandwich Filler Game
11:42 you forgot to move 7 to the bottom of the stack 😊
Oops! Thanks
Great video! Love the overhead look. Seems like a neat game! :)
Thanks. I really like this one.
Because of you I learned about The Bloody Inn and was so excited! But then immediately crushed because it's out of print. I did score Deadly Dowagers though! You've made me a subscriber :)
Aw thank you! Hopefully you can find a copy of Bloody Inn around one of these days. Hope you are enjoying Deadly Dowagers!
This Top 50 definitely had some turns along the scenic route. Good job!!
There are always some twists and turns 🤣
Your videos always make me smile so much.
@@kovray Aw. Thank you🧡🧡🧡
Thanks for helping me decide to get Ugly Gryphon Inn! Recently played Unsurmountable and Food Chain Island and very much enjoyed them. 🙂
@@bitsandbiology I'm so glad you like them!
This looks fun!
@@pamd9834 we're really loving it🧡
I love your banter and this game looks so fun and chill. Going to check it out on KS now... :)
Thank you! We really are having fun with this one
Great video thx
@@jeffbiss515 Thanks for checking it out!
A Nice cuppa is fairly forgiving of not being able to think ahead.
Good thing for me! 🤣
This looks so charming!
It really is!
Seems very much like a fishing lessons and numbsters combo
It does! I really like this one. It's moving up my list quickly
Im a big Scott almes fan. Can’t wait. Does remind me a bit of fishing lessons.Billie roasting you is always the best part of the video though lol
If it is anything like Fishing Lessons, I am sure I will love it.
We love Scott Almes! I think Billie heckling is her favorite part too 🤣
Great video, looking forward to trying this one.
Thank you! We love this one
I love tea, solo games, Scott Almes and Buttonshy, So this is a get for me. Eventually
Sounds like a perfect fit!
I've been looking forward to this game on Kickstarter! Great video overview! Thanks!🫖☕️
@@teaNgames I knew I'd love the theme 😉 but the game is really good too
Another great Simply Solo video! I got to play test this one quite a bit and it has shot up to being my #1 favorite Simply Solo game so far.
Thanks! It really is a great game!
I have to say this and Gentle Rain are amazing rainy day games. This one has a great weekend morning vibe that is indeed great with a cuppa.
Gotta love cozy weekend games 🧡
Reminds me of Elevenses for one, but more complicated.
I love Elevenses! The rules of this aren't complicated but the decisions are puzzly
Yall are the best and have GREAT game taste!! Great job with this list, it was a fun watch and I'm sad its over!
Thanks for watching them all! Miss you 🧡
I love storytelling so I would love to try this game. But I think the amount of fun you have is highly dependent on the group you play with. Thanks for the short demo of the game. I wouldn't have known what to expect without it.
It is absolutely group dependent!
Sounds like it would be a very tricky game for me. I am not a big storyteller.
It's a balance of those things. It's great fun but I can see how it night not be for everyone.
Where should you start with Button Shy? Ep. 43!
Thanks!
Yes, Top 10 BS Games!
We're definitely working on it
Honestly, some of the best choices here! Honey Buzz, Maximum Apocalypse, Three Sisters, Castle Party, Azul... Yall have great taste! ❤
Thank you! If only we lived closer!
I’m loving your videos, you have such great presenting skills! You are super fun too. I will now obsessively binge your content in about 2 weeks 😂 Just FYI, part of your charm is that you are an American doppelgänger for a fantastic and hilarious UK presenter and radio host, Liza Tarbuck. Not sure if anyone has said that to you before? 🤷🏻♂️
Thank you!🧡 I just looked her up. That's crazy 🤣
Great video, and thanks as always for the shout out friends!! Wild Tiled West is a BANGER of a game.
@@Tablenauts It really is!!
I'm pumped to have some time to catch up on these!! Yall are a delight and we miss you 😭
Miss you too!!
Kinda cult of the new list?
Perhaps a bit. Most are a couple years old. I think it might also be that we are better at recognizing/purchasing games that fit our gaming style and preferences. It's a snapshot. It will be fun to see how they hold up next year.
Great top 10 list.
Thanks! It was very fun to make!
I’m watching the back catalogue and immediately went and downloaded the PNP versions of two of these! Loving your channel
Thank you so much! Hope you love them as much as we do!
Love your shirt!!! I bought gentle rain and castle party this week thanks to you two! Love your videos…always excited to see them pop up. I liked your book shirt too…maybe do some bookish videos sometime??!! 😊🎉congrats on three years!
Thank you so much for taking the time to go back through some of those! I hope you lo e those as much as we do. Maybe we'll figure out a way to bring books in! That would be one way to use my Lit degree 🤣 We do have a book channel on the Discord. Maybe we should do a book club!
@@SecondStartotheLeft that would be awesome!!!
I’m late to the party, but happy anniversary! All of these sound so fun and I actually haven’t played a few of the top 😅 boop intimidates me because I’m TERRIBLE at chess and chess like games. Am I worrying for nothing?
Boop isn't scary at all (even the Halloween version 🤣 ) It is more like advanced tik tak toe. Plus, the games are so short that you can just try again. It's a lot of fun and not a lot of stress even when you don't win!
PAX Unplugged will be my very first board game convention so I'll keep my eyes peeled for you just so I can tell you in person how much I enjoy your videos!
That's so kind! And you are gonna have fun. PAX Unplugged is a great convention.
@@SecondStartotheLeft I'm looking forward to it. Let me know if there are any pro-tips to attending PAX Unplugged because I know nothing. Going in blind.
@@JymmiF I will!
I remember playing Once Upon a Time. My friend was like, 'She opened a door (Slams card on table), then found a frog (slams card on table), who was a prince (slams card on table), who had a goblet (slams card on table). The end. Guess I won. It was really funny.
Hahahaha see? Billie would have been cranky 🤣
@@SecondStartotheLeft the strategy is to overwhelm your opponents with efficient storytelling. It's not your fault you're a natural.
@@JymmiF 🤣🤣🤣
I agree tgat the Crew sucks... spicy outtakes I agree with. I am excited for "The Gang" Poker twist coming from Kosmos.
Glad I'm not alone in my feelings on The Crew!!
What a fun journey, thanks for sharing your top games with me. 😊
Thanks for watching along!
Happy channel anniversary. Being there along the way is sooo fun. Comments on the games on the list are coming to discord again.
Thank you 🧡
If you like Fit to Print, I have a game getting announced in August that I bet you'll really like. It's not realtime, but stay tuned. :)
Oooh! Can't wait to hear about it! You know I'm a fan 🧡
Happy channel anniversary 🎉 Great list! Some surprises 😮 Loved it!
Thank you 🧡
When we're done watching Battlestar Galactica with our 15 year old, we will do another watch through of Buffy/Angel. It's my all time favorite series, and she enjoyed it the first time so this will be the first time we watch a series with her a second time.
@@RichardLearnsGames That is very good parenting 🧡
@@SecondStartotheLeft 💚
I haven't done a proper rewatch but last time I watched Buffy I found it so weird that I'm now older than both Giles and Buffy's mom. 😂
Hihi, I bought Botanik because you loved it so much! It didn't disappoint 😊
Me too
So glad you like it!
It's such a great little game!
I've been busy over the last few days. But I will (hopefully soon) post my list and comments on discord. Thanks for sharing your lists
Thank you for sharing all your thoughts on the lists! It's fun to read them
Great lists! Thanks for the videos. I am so happy that I found your channel.
Thank you for taking the time to watch! We had a lot of fun making them.
Fit to print is the best!! 🎉 Billie I haven’t played your number one but it looks very fun! Congratulations on 3 years!!! ❤❤
Thank you! 🧡🧡
I've always wanted to try Mythic Mischief. It's great to see Land vs. Sea and The Grand Carnival are getting the love that they both deserve. Great list!
Thanks! They deserve lots more love!
And here it is. The big one. I was very excited for this video. I think it is appropriate to say "happy anniversary!" Or did I get this wrong? I really like most of the IV games but somehow Mythic Mischief hasn't really clicked for me. I understand the mechanisms and I like them but the theme is... mid for me. I love Sea Salt & Paper. I was kind of obsessed with the game on BGA last year. I'm not really good at it and most of the time it's painfully obvious what I'm trying to do but I love it. The Fox and the Forest is on my wishlist. Not only because I like foxes, I swear. Evolution and Oceans are games I REALLY want to try. They look so beautiful. I had one of them in my hands so many times but I never bought any of them. Maybe I finally should. Grand Carnival looks very interesting as well. I think I'll have to add it to my list. And I think it is my highlight of the video since I think I already wrote my thoughts about Fit to Print. We talked about Unmatched in the last video? The one before? I'm still very interested and the co-op version is at least as interesting. Obsession is getting more and more interesting to me. I wasn't really high on the theme but I hear so many good things about it and now want to play it very much. I just lost another game of New York Zoo. I'm a bit sad that they made it premium on BGA bc now I can't actively start a table. But luckily enough I can find a game most of the time. P.S.: I really don't like The Crew.
Thank you. Always happy to play New York Zoo. And you're right about The Crew😉
“You eat Swedish fish all the time” without missing a beat killed me. Love your picks! So many incredible games here!
She cracks me up 🤣
Ahaha, so I own all of the season 1 and 2 Final Girls (as well as the minis and extras and just... all of it) cause I love it so much and yet I have NEVER won. I am so bad at that game and somehow it is still a top 5 game for me.
Glad it isn't just me. If only games I won were on my favorites list, that list would be pretty short 🤣
You are both my favorite content game people. I only look forward to your videos. I do watch others, but it is more of when I get around to it and don’t watch them all. I watch all of yours no matter what even if the game doesn’t interest me.
That is so kind! I'm glad you watch! We have a fun time doing them
