Great to hear it! Thanks for taking the time to check out the video - do feedback if you ever get around to trying it :)

Yay! It's well worth giving a try on BGA if you're able. It's one of our favorite 2-player only games for sure 👌

Nice! the original 7 Wonders is one we want to try one day :) We're working backwards 😅

Yay! Thanks so much for taking the time to watch. We're planning to keep playing Voyages before bed some nights, so I am looking forward to when we get around to the new maps and the different ways to play :) And yay! our cat Nanina is too cute not to share with the world. Hope you both have a happy New Year! 💜

@@Board_Game_Beans Happy New Year to you two as well! May 2025 be an especially good one!

Oooooo, Nice thanks for the heads-up 😊 I don't think we'll mind if it takes longer than expected - even more value for money that way 🤣 thanks also for the feedback regarding the VO videos :) Happy holidays to you too!

For just two players would be perfect for us 🥰 one day we will get hold of it ☺️

Yep! Communication is allowed and encouraged, sorry we could have made that point a bit more clear in the video :) It could be a fun challenge to play with limited communication though, maybe as a homebrew "faulty comms" expansion 😅

@Board_Game_Beans Thanks! We like co-ops that allow communication! Your "Faulty comms" idea would be a good way to make the game harder, though! 😆

Fair enough to your reasons why you wouldn't want to play this game - which other co-ops do you enjoy instead? :)

@Board_Game_Beans We probably play Horrified more than anything, but we also like games in Forbidden series (Island & Desert especially) , Switch and Signal, the Captain Is Dead, and Robinson Crusoe. Last Christmas the family gave us Scooby Doo The Boardgame and we've had a silly amount of fun with that, too! 🤣

@@teaNgames Amazing recommendations - Thanks! we will check those out; I recall you talking about The Captain is Dead before, it sounds really interesting :)

@@Board_Game_Beans A lot of the appeal of The Captain Is Dead is the theme😆 I also really recommend Switch and Signal, a co-op train game. Hard to get in the US, but you might have better luck!

Good spot! We never noticed that 😊

That's made our morning reading that; thank you! 😊 We weren't sure if this new style would go down well so it's nice to hear positive feedback. This approach makes it a lot easier for us to put together and edit 😅

We have a couple of those to try! ☺️

Thanks! Hope the new format is ok - we decided to change some things up which and I feel this will allow us to meet a more regular upload schedule :) Crystallo looks interesting! Not heard of that one before 👀

Yay! So glad you liked it - thank you! We decided to try a different format for this one and will be applying it to our Reviews and First Impressions going forward; it'll allow us to make videos a bit easier and also upload at a more regular schedule 😊 We're big fans of this game already with only one game played - so I've already gone and printed maps 2 and 3 😅 Hoping we can get some more rounds in of this first map over the weekend 👌 Thanks again for taking the time to watch and comment on this :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to check out our video 🥳 Burgle bros is one we have on the wishlist, looks like the gameplay is really fun in that one 😊

We play one level away from the Skull and Crossbones 😎 Haha joking aside we usualy play Normal but have tried the others a few times. I find the difficulty comes more from the initial tile placement? (The Waters Rise! Cards too, as Joana loves to draw them) but often times we find the map tiles can lead to an easy/clear path. I know it's random but I wish there was a way to control that better - because half way through a game if we see it's near impossible to lose (even if we get flooded) then it takes away from the enjoyment a bit. Maybe we really do need to play one level away from the top just to feel that constant fear 😅 Or perhaps we could try and only put the treasure tiles at the edge of the island with the helipad in the middle, so we're forced to move around more :)

@@Board_Game_Beans The characters you play also impact the difficulty. Because we play at 2 player we choose our characters. I might go with random roles in a 4-player game because we'd end up with a good mix of skills. The alternate layouts look tricky; I wouldn't push the starting level up the first time you try them!😉

@@teaNgames True! :) Ahaha yes I'm not prepared to try the alternate layout (Especially the bridge one) without a Diver on our team to cross the gap when that middle tile eventually falls 😅

Yay 🥳 Thanks for checking out the video :) Absolutely do try out Pandemic if you can, we're big fans of that one and the challenge it presents.

Doesn't seem talked about all too often, glad we discovered it through BGA when we did though. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! 😊☕

Thanks for checking it out! :) Ahaha, you'll probably get Arnak back to the table and mentioned in a video before we give it a proper go 🤣

💜 The board game community is better for you folks being part of it :)

🤣 - there are dozens of us! DOZENS! We keep trying to get it to the table and it still hasn't happened. Instead of learning it a few days ago we ended up learning/playing 7 Wonders Duel 😅 Thanks for checking out the vid and the sub! Appreciate it :)

Absolutely deserving of a shout out - thanks for checking out the video 😊

Thanks for checking out our latest video 💜 It really is a good size for travel - we're very happy with it 😊

@@darbyl3872 Good idea 👍

Yep they have an English rulebook on BGA :) I believe the game is coming to Barnes and Noble for you in January, as part of their game of the month? Thanks for taking the time to check out the video :)

@Board_Game_Beans Ooo...I'll have to look for it! Thanks!

Thanks for watching! SETI does indeed look amazing! Only reason that one didn't make this list is because we had seen it previously; but we'd love to get that or Tea Garden as our first game from Tomáš Holek. I'm still struggling to find Tea Garden anywhere so it might be SETI that we can play first :)

Yay 🥳 That makes us happy to hear; thank you so much for watching and the feedback :)

Our Ecosfera is on the way - lost in the delivery network somewhere 🥳 Oh nice, We will take a look at Fox Experiment, thank you! 😊🎲 Thanks for taking the time to check out our video!

Ahaha, Susan, Tea Garden is literally your game. It was made for you 🤣 The tea game could only be better if it was in space lol (Now there is a cool board game idea)

@@Board_Game_Beans Outer space tea with aliens!🎉🫖🤣🤣🤣

Seems well deserved! I'm not sure on the shipping status of ours, I just know it's coming someday soon from their warehouse in Poland. I hope it's one of the mysterious tracking codes we've recently received but can't match to anything in our records 😅

@@Board_Game_Beans Not to mention Reiner Knizia was doing signings for one day at the booth. But like you, I am waiting for my copy.

🤣 It do be like that, sorry you feel that too! 😞; thanks for taking the time to check out our video :)

Haha yeah I think next time we might allow sales... it was just to make the challenge a little more tricky but I don't think that's very beneficial to the viewer in anyway - next time we do this we can allow sale prices; but also include the normal MSRP for reference :) Thanks for checking out our video!

Yay! thanks so much for taking the time to check it out. Oh nice we have Waypoints too I think, just not printed yet :)

Do you have a favourite? ☺️

@@Board_Game_Beans Voyages is my favorite of the bunch at the moment.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by! :)

It's a lovely game isn't it? Indeed, it would be great fit for breakfast gaming! :D Might have to do just that tomorrow morning! :)

Haha - yeah we dipped in a toe with Forbidden Island, Pandemic, and Wingspan, after a couple of games we were all in :) Thanks for taking the time to view and comment :) We'll have more Fika videos soon! (Not all of them will be this this exact "round up" format, nor as long in length) 😴

Our pleasure! Sending love back from Portugal! 🇵🇹🛬🇨🇦

@@Board_Game_Beans ha ha, love it

Thank you so much for the kind words! To hear that you think our audio is great makes me so happy because that has been one of the largest pain points for me 😅 I hope we can continue to improve, we'll see how it goes in the next video because I will be learning a new tool (DaVinci Resolve) as Final Cut gave me so much grief in exporting this (Probably all those pesky info cards). We'll continue to try and get better :) Again things will change over time and I already have new plans for the title/chapter cards, which I hope you'll like just as much if not more. Great video suggestions! The first one might not make such an interesting video out of us only because we plan to literally heave the entire Kallax into a van and take the whole thing with 🤣 Maybe it'd make a fun short though 🤔. Great idea too, to show a mini-tour of the collection - something we'll consider to do soon. Joana is very happy to learn she's not the only one that leaves a sip of drink 🤣 Thanks again for the lovely comment, wishing all the best to you for when you start with the board game content! 🥳

You're welcome and thank you so much 😌 I'm so glad we managed to get this one exported and uploaded in the end 😅 here's hoping the next video goes smoother 🤞

Thank you 😊 It's a really nice one, I'm looking forward to playing it some more this weekend! I've ran out of laminator sheets though so we might have to play it on a tablet :(

Aha, we're going to use this series of videos as a reason to print and play them on a more regular basis :) We've yet to find the perfect system for us to organise them too... I have various PnP games in different folders scattered around the office 😅 Thank you, we're both feeling much better now :)

Its a really nice one :) Small and easy to take with you out and about. Thanks so much for checking out the video - I'm not sure if these let's play videos are what folks want to see, but we had fun anyway :)

Thank you for designing it! We both think it's brilliant and have enjoyed it even more since this video. We're looking forward to order The Lone Gun expansion when it releases 🥳 Also, I hope I pronounced your name ok? 😬😅

Thank you! Aha yeah those garden chairs are good to chill in - not so great to film with though as we were bouncing around and so far apart 🤣
