Your collection overlaps with my collection more than any other I've seen (we have, like, 50% the same collection). Looking forward to future videos since we have such similar tastes.
Thanks Andrew! We love Castles and play it all the time on bga. The only reason why we haven't gotten it yet is because we got the special edition from awaken realms and are waiting for it to get fulfilled. Also, we like some GWT just haven't pulled the trigger on it yet. Finally, Spirit Island is not my (Devin) cup of tea. I've played it at least five times, and it just hasn't clicked for me. I see the appeal of it, but for some reason, it just doesn't land for me. Thanks for the comment and supporting the channel!
Great collection. Only 8 Shelf of shame / Oppertunity. Well done. I probably have 80-90 unplayed. But have been playing and collecting games since 1999 (I purchased myself my first "hobby game" bought from mass market store) X-men Under Siege
Man! You must have a great collection with that many shelf of Shame games. Also, it’s awesome to hear that you have been in the hobby that long and still have a great passion for it! Hopefully, we can remain just as passionate and for just as long. Thanks for the comment, we greatly appreciate it, and it is really encouraging!
There's a jump between liking games and collecting games LOL look forward to seeing your journey - just saw you also did Mind MGMT will watch that one next 😉
I wouldn’t say I’m a board game collector, I don’t have the money for it 😢. Here’s a board game that you may have not heard of before. This is my favorite game I bought years ago, it’s a deduction game, called Fury of Dracula 3rd edition. They have a 4th done by Wizkids or something which is going to be cheaper than the 3rd. I absolutely love playing Dracula in that one 😏
Yeah board game collecting is definitely really expensive. If it’s going to be your main hobby, then it pretty much got to be your only hobby. It’s not for the faint of heart. Lol 😂 I want Fury, but I’ve heard it’s out of print, so it’s hard to get. I love a good deduction game. Thanks for the comment! Love reading it.
i love the collection, and i would reccomend getting The Red Dragon Inn, it is a very cool game where you play as a character from a dnd world, the game takes place at a inn after the adventure where the characters you play as are drinking and gambling together and it is a great time and would highly reccomend.
@@pickinguppiecesBC well of course, this is the game that got me into board game collecting myself. it has lots of different characters that you can play as too that can add their own little twist to the game. Hope you enjoy it if you do pick it up!
Yeah, games that get us into the hobby always have a special place in the heart. Thanks for the comment! We loving interacting with people who watch the video.
There is something special about folding into becoming board gaming collectors. We started a couple years ago and really started getting those games that were staying popular over time. We recently got to play underwater cities from 2017 and it is right up our alley. I will definitely subscribe and hope you two do well. Thanks for the content!
So fun to watch a couple newish to the hobby talk about their collection! You’ve got lots of great stuff already! I started playing modern board games in 2006 and fondly remember those first few years of collecting all the then-popular games. I’m now more into curating than collecting because I don’t have room for more games. 😂 And your shelf of shame/opportunity isn’t bad-I think my unplayed games number 27 right this second… “More games, less problems.” YES! 🎉
It’s great to hear that you still have a fire for board games after being in the hobby for over a decade. I love hearing others stories. But we are also at the point were we are running out of room. Haha 😂 We live in a tiny condo so there is not much space. We about to have to throw out our mattress and sleep on some board games. Lol
We’re in a “normal” sized house now, but when we lived in a tiny condo, my husband put shelves up near the ceiling, all the way around the living room, and they held about 150 or so games. It looked nice and gave me a lot of storage that was out of the way and didn’t take up our living space. Now everything’s in the spare bedroom in kallaxes. 🤓
Excellent collection, you two! We have a lot of games in common :) my wife and I have been in the hobby for about 3 years now and our Shelf of Shame just keeps growing and growing haha great video, keep up the great work!
Tuscany Essential Edition is great if you like Viticulture. Still one of my wife and I's go to games. Haven't played Marvel United yet, but some games just don't hit. When I first got into the hobby, I got Marvel Legendary and Betrayal at House on the Hill, both games people love, but they just weren't for us.
Yeah I’ve heard once you play that expansion, you’ll never go back. The Tuscany expansion and the leaders expansion for lost ruins of arnak are my top two expansions on my want list right now.
Dice Throne - same here with a B&N sale. Couldn't pass it up for the price and ended up getting 3 boxes. Instant favorite, much like Radlands (which we love, Wife says it's her 2nd favorite game) with more decisions per turn. Looking forward to more from you two!
I don’t blame you! I was so tempted to pick up more boxes on that sale. Yeah, Mary Kate and I are huge into competitive one on one games. Also, thank you for the support, it’s encouraging to read your comment.
A few games that I have, and highly recommend - Potion Explosion, the components are really fun. Camel Up - a fun betting/racing game, I also must absolutely recommend Meadow - the artwork is beautiful, another fun 2 player card game is Stellar. Must also mention Isle of Cats - a fun polyomino game, Parks. I also recommend Qwirkle, and if you like Qwirkle, I really think you should try Azul: Queens Garden. I know you said you didn't REALLY love Azul, but Queens Garden is a very think-y game combining the mechanics of Azul with Qwirkle. Admitted, I like Azul, but I think Queens Garden is probably my favorite of the Azul series. Also, much love for y'all! Gatlinburg is where my wife and I had our honeymoon 17 1/2 years ago. Very special memories! Some, which I'd rather forget (such as missing our connecting flight in Houston, due to not knowing the luggage just carried over automatically)
Yeah so many awesome recommendations! I want to try potion explosion a ton. Also Qwirkle was one of my childhood games! I’m (Devin) nearly undefeated in that game. Lol not to brag 😂 Also, good to know about queens garden being really different than Azul. I’ll definitely be more open minded going into it! That’s awesome you guys went to Gatlinburg too! Mary Kate and I are coming up on 4 years of marriage. Also, I hear ya on wanting to forgot some stuff. lol My groomsmen at my wedding spray our car down with string and wrote on it with “washable” marker. It was nearly impossible to get out, and we had to go to a car wash on our honeymoon where a few professionals had to really clean our car to get it almost back to 100%. I think there is still residue on the car to this day. Lol
Seriously, my wife and I were just talking about this yesterday or the day before yesterday. I want to get heat (you know the new hot thing lol) or Jamaica. Mary Kate wants to get cubitos or Flamme Rouge.
We felt the same way when we bought Bitoku, a little intimidated to learn it, but it’s not that bad and once you start playing you will learn the iconography as you go along. Super fun game, we really love it! Highly recommend! Enjoyed the video 😀
Great video you two! I enjoy your personalities and candor. I'm in the same stage of the boardgame hobby... (your the one with the problem - you don't have any board games to play! :) Keep up the good work, I look forward to hearing more about your board game journey.
Hi! Yeah for Orléans! You can pronounce it any way you want lol. And I'm a French person so there 😉. Very nice collection with some very good games (Viticulture, Honey Buzz, Wingspan, Everdell, Horrified. I am waiting for Obsession to get there. It will be the French edition and I am really looking forward to it. Have you played Project L? It's a Tetris-like game with beautiful components. And if you enjoy Splendor then you should try Splendor Duel. I will never play Splendor again at a 2 player count. Duel really brings it up a notch. And go buy 7 Wonders Duel! Best 2 player game, bar none 😀 Congrats on your new channel. I love your enthusiasm.
Awww! Thank you for all the kind words and your recommendations. We definitely need to try project L, splendor Duel, and 7 wonders duel. And Especially since you said you’ll never go back to regular splendor for two players again. Additionally, I appreciate you giving me permission to say Orleans any way I want! Haha We’re going to cite you if anyone ever gets on our case about it. Lol 😂
@@pickinguppiecesBC Please do cite me 😁. Indeed, Splendor Duel is way more intense with the new rules. You have to choose between 3 different winning conditions and there is a new mechanic when you want to pick up gem tokens. It is a great game!
wonderland war is a better game to quacks, absolutely wonderful and so much interaction. nemesis is so fun, i would recommend splendor duel, Planet unknown , wondering towers, heat: pedal to the metal, kingdom rush, Astra, Trickerion (amazing theme but super heavy) Machina Arcana (get it second hand) if you like spooky narrative dungeon crawler (can be done in one sitting) Wolves, Gorinto, mythic mischief
I actually have the special edition ordered from gamefound. I am so excited for this game! I loved playing it on BGA and can’t wait to play it in person. Great recommendation!
I’m sure we’ll tell the story at some point. It’s not even that big of a story. But got to keep you on the edge of your seat. Haha 😂 that’s how cliffhangers that don’t pay off work right? We do love us some unmatched and restoration though.
That’s awesome! We plan on doing a video listing off our personal favorite unmatched fighters from less to best out of all the fighters in the next month or two (as long things go to plan). We’ll most likely tell the story then. But, if you really want it sooner, you could email the channel’s email pickinguppiecesBC@gmail.com, and I’ll relay it there.
Yeah, I definitely need to give it a try again with more of the content. I know a ton of people love it. I just got to find people with all that content. Haha 😂
I can see you are pretty new on RUclips, so this will come with time, but first impression is important, so try to make the intro more snappy. It felt a little forced/not practiced. Good luck on your journey
30:08 “if it sounds like I’m being cocky… I am” haha learned that playing Carcassonne with you.
Hey I wasn’t too cocky. Haha 😂
0:01 "and we're paying our pizzas". Yay! 🍕🍕 I must be hungry... brb
haha You getting that Hawaiian? 😆
@@pickinguppiecesBC ewwww! 😖
Your collection overlaps with my collection more than any other I've seen (we have, like, 50% the same collection). Looking forward to future videos since we have such similar tastes.
That’s awesome! Also, I’m glad to hear that someone else has the right taste in board games. Lol 😂 Thanks for the comment and the support!
Great video. Highly recommend Castles of Burgundy, Spirit Island and Great Western Trail x

Your intro
I thought you were gonna say:
"With your hands"
And that was basically it 🤣
What a twist
Haha that’s hilarious. 😂

70 games? Hmmmm.... sounds like a nice haul size! Oh you mean the entire collection? Oh you young padawans.
Yep got a long way to go. ❤️ These other people putting us to shame. 😭😬 also, teach us your ways! Haha
There's a jump between liking games and collecting games LOL look forward to seeing your journey - just saw you also did Mind MGMT will watch that one next 😉

Thank you so much for the encouragement! Also, so glad that you’re getting into the hobby and watching our videos.
Nice to be a part of watching this collection grow and playing games with you! Love the channel! Keep up the great work! Love you guys!
Awww. Ashley we miss you guys so much and love ya. Just move back KY. Lol All are welcome!
i love the collection, and i would reccomend getting The Red Dragon Inn, it is a very cool game where you play as a character from a dnd world, the game takes place at a inn after the adventure where the characters you play as are drinking and gambling together and it is a great time and would highly reccomend.
Thank you. We’ll have to look into The Red Dragon Inn! We’ve never heard of it, but your enthusiasm got us intrigued.

Some other great 2p games - Grand Austria Hotel, Air Land and Sea, Fjords, and Circle the Wagons
I’ll need to look into these games! Thanks for the recommendation. We appreciate the support.
There is something special about folding into becoming board gaming collectors. We started a couple years ago and really started getting those games that were staying popular over time.

Thank you so much Seth. We really appreciate the support and hope all is well with you and your family!
Yo for real we own the same games! xD so much crossover, that's awesome! I'm jealous of a few games you own that I don't like Everdell and My City !!
Love to hear it! It’s so cool that we got the same games as you.

Great collection! A lot are on my wishlist. Ares Expedition is great (I haven't played regular Terraforming Mars). But I like Ares Expedition a lot.
We definitely got to play TM: Ares! It looks like so much fun!
Excellent collection, you two! We have a lot of games in common :) my wife and I have been in the hobby for about 3 years now and our Shelf of Shame just keeps growing and growing haha great video, keep up the great work!
Yeah, we’re not looking forward to the never ending growth of the shelf of shame. Haha

Great video! Agree with you 100% about Fort. I wanted to love it because of the theme but I just didn’t.
Yeah, we wanted to like it so bad. We are still holding out hope that maybe with more people it will be better. Also, glad you enjoyed the video. 😁
What a fantastic collection you have !
Hey, thanks guys! We appreciate it. It doesn’t really hold a candle to your collection. Haha 😂
But congratulations on having so many views so quickly. You deserve so many more subscribers !
Thank you so much! That means a lot. You guys are doing great at your channel! Hope all is well with you.
@Picking Up Pieces thanks so much. 2 years at it now! Did you watch our top 10 ?
Can't help but notice a lack of Root in your collection !
That being said if you're not a fan of Fort...
Nice collection!!! Try some racing games they're always fun
Seriously, my wife and I were just talking about this yesterday or the day before yesterday. I want to get heat (you know the new hot thing lol) or Jamaica. Mary Kate wants to get cubitos or Flamme Rouge.

We definitely got to try. I’ve been itching to play a new worker placement game.
nice collection!

@@pickinguppiecesBC the expansion completely changes the game. You both should try that some time as well.

Machina Arcana (get it second hand) if you like spooky narrative dungeon crawler (can be done in one sitting)
Wolves, Gorinto, mythic mischief

Marvel United base game is pretty basic. You need to have the variety of heroes and villains to make it pop.
Yeah, hopefully we can play someone else’s copy, so we can experience more of what the game has to offer.
Marvel united gets way better as you get more expansions. They get much harder and more fun
Yeah, I definitely need to give it a try again with more of the content. I know a ton of people love it. I just got to find people with all that content. Haha 😂
No fort is said and don't get the cats and dog's
I can see you are pretty new on RUclips, so this will come with time, but first impression is important, so try to make the intro more snappy. It felt a little forced/not practiced. Good luck on your journey
Thanks for the tip! Also, hope all is well with you.
Damn, true but yeah
Man you should stop buying and play some of those games little more. You can’t really enjoy a game with only one play.
