My Top 10 Board Games: 1. Ark Nova 2. Gloomhaven 3. Wingspan (Kelly’s Favorite) 4. Viticulture 5. Pandemic 6. Powergrid 7. Blood Rage 8. Dominion 9. Everdell 10. Scythe What are some of your favorites? I would enjoy reading through what you all play ↓
Betrayal at House on the Hill is the beginning and end of my board game list. I just like the procedural generation-ish aspect. I'm not too savvy, I don't know of anything else that does that.
Some amazing games there! My fave's are Dominant Species, Reef Encounter, Kemet, Modern Art, Coup and the Initiative :D love this video - welding and boardgames is the perfect niche!
Loving wingspan a lot recently. Pandemic legacy has also been a favorite. Another game you could upgrade through CNC would be Acquire, an old Avalon Hill game that is like a much better version of Monopoly.
The variety of your builds and projects is amazing. Deluxe tokens? got it! Rebuild a fertilizer buggy? Sure! Jumbo salad bowl? No problem! Enormous retractable chandelier for a barn? LETS DO IT! It’s not just the project or the variety of the jobs, it’s the inspiration you give to others and the way you impart knowledge. Bravo. ✌🏾
I just got to this video after watching all of your other videos. I like watching people fabricating, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you have planned for 2023. The barn build-out is really cool to me.
This video is very much addressing my interests. Most of my woodworking is furniture, but i've done a few 3d printing and woodworking projects for games. Making trays and pieces similar to what you're showing. At some point i'd love to make a complete wooden box for something. Maybe for Anachrony? I'm always worried i'm going to spend all this time like that, only to find that i no longer even like the game... haha. Especially given that there are more than a thousand games amongst my group of friends, so we don't play the same game super often. Anyway, this video was very unexpected. I've been a subscriber since the beginning, and i could always tell you were a little bit of a nerd, but i wouldn't have guessed that you were into board games. Thanks for sharing this.
Your creative spirit and building talent should no longer amaze me...but they do. And on top of your farm and family dedication...very cool. Nerd or not; you are a truly inspiring person.
I definitely fall into that very small space on your Venn Diagram. And while I would love to have one of your sets, the lack of a job and a car breaking down in a permanent way means I have to put my money into necessities, not beautiful project pieces made by a talented maker. I am so pleased to have found new videos from you. Just last week I was looking to see if you had posted anything new recently and bam, 2 new videos pop up.
OK, wow, and wife and I are really into board games too, and you listed 7 of our faves in your list! As someone who likes tinkering, making projects, welding, and board gaming... wow! Greetings from Melbourne, Australia.
I think you are about to hear from every single person that exists in the union of that Venn diagram. I was actually pretty excited to see your board game shelf :)
Just received my tracker. The quality is amazing! Really excited to use it next time we play Gloomhaven. Based on your Top 10 list, I would recommend you try Nemesis. It is a cooperative sci-fi survival game set on a spaceship. It comes with a bunch of great miniatures. The base game is really fun and really hard, plus there are some expansions.
So glad you're back uploading videos. We all need a break some time which is fine so the gap is most likely well deserved. Keep em coming. We missed you
I am one of those crossovers. Amazing stuff! Edit: looking at your favorites list, I highly recommend trying out Clank! Legacy - a really great 2 player experience.
It’s definitely on my short list. It’s a deck builder, right? Or was it another in the series of clank that is the deck builder? Deck building is one of my favorite genres
Small World is a strategic board game full of quirky races (skeletons, amazons, ratmen) that receive a power at the beginning of each game to assist in conquering different lands. The next game the powers change to a different race so each game is never the same. Look it up unless you already have it. You will like it.
One of us dude - awesome to see :-D. Carcassonne is a banger - I also saw Azul in your vid which we've just got into and are really enjoying. We dig Wingspan too. Ticket to Ride is another good one and easy for kids/newbies to pick up 🙂
I really liked how you showed the CNC operation in real time before you went to high speed video. Since I don’t have, nor will I probably ever have, a CNC it was nice to see what the real time looked like. It all turned out very nice. Unfortunately, I’m one of those that falls outside your Ven diagram. Although it looks so good that it almost makes me want to take up the game.
Nice to see you back in the shop , but someone is missed in them what happened to your puppy dog 🐕 he seamed to get his place in all your earlier videos? Just wondering because you seam to not all there with out him
I just saw your "folding stairs" video and was wandering if you have any video regarding your work bench? I saw it only in a few shots but i would live a tour of it.
Justin, what a Great Idea, Wonderful design, and implementation of this project. I can't wait until we can watch your next great idea come to fruition. Do you take on commission projects?
Ark Nova is awesome. Huge, but awesome. Can't believe it just came onto the scene. I got to play it at GenCon this year and fell in love with it. Very fun. Wingspan is also my friends' favorite game as well. Gloomhaven is my favorite, but it takes a long time to set up. We an entire trip just playing Gloomhaven! I'm trying to resist the urge to transition to the digital game (available on Steam) which speeds up some of the clunky mechanics, but it would help me play a lot more! I also bought the Gloomhaven organizer from The Broken Token which really sped up set up and tear down of the game (if you can't leave it out on the table all the time this is awesome!) Perhaps you could do a wooden board with the wingspan swallow bird on it? I have a shirt like that and would die for a colored, wooden bird!
@@rainfallprojects501 We watched a 45minute explainer video otherwise it would have taken us a week as well! Who needs free weights when you have Gloomhaven and Ark Nova boxes :)
Awesome work as always! Been following since the Giant Bomb sign you made back in the day. You probably mentioned this before, but what kind of router is that? The detail you get from it is insane.
*crosses fingers* Please make a gaming table video... Please make a gaming table video... Please make a gaming table video... Please make a gaming table video...
I just got mine in the 📬! It is such an amazing upgrade. Feels great to move the tokens. So much so I will have to be careful to not fiddle with it during play 🙂
1. Have european wife 2. Have tractor (only 52hp kubota) 3. Weld when needed... and wood work, build cabinets, but not what I do for work 4. Play board and video games with my wife 5. Enjoy crafting We exist. The overlappers. There are more of you than you know. Hey from East Tennessee.
Oh wow, I would have never guessed this. I'm a HUGE board game nerd. Been working in the industry for a long long time. How do you like Ark Nova? We absolutely LOVE that 2 player.
My buddy just has to be the guy to get the treasures first even though we told him it would kill us... so ya we dont play GH anymore lol (side note tonight we will be playing wingspan, 5 tribes and our favourite power grid. PS -I have a video on my channel making a custom case for power grid and its expansions if your interested)
Been playing Gloomhaven with my wife, off and on, for over a year. I’m building my first cnc now and stumbled across your channel when looking up cnc cabinetry. Imagine my surprise to see the two worlds mixed by happenstance. Well done on both the cabinets and the tray. Have you thought about adding an axis to your cnc and doing miniatures?

What a collection! Hard agree on cooperative games being where it's at. Pandemic has a cthulhu reskin that's the current go-to on game night
Twilight Imperium BECAUSE I HATE MYSELF :)

Yup, what he said....
Wow, gone for 10 months and then two videos in a week. Sweet!
Well, Gloomhaven takes quite a bit of time to set up and clean up lol
There must have finally been some rainfall
@@benmartin4788 I live in Oregon near him. Can confirm. Rain started about a month ago.
Been missing the content. Though not a fan of board games, I'm still amazed with the creativity and professionalism with your projects.
I just got to this video after watching all of your other videos. I like watching people fabricating, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you have planned for 2023. The barn build-out is really cool to me.
Christmas comes early......2 videos from Rainfall Projects. I am so glad you are making content again!
I really liked how you made the tokens! Thanks for sharing some of your more niche content!

I don’t know, even if the game doesn’t get played much anymore, I bet you would still be proud to have a custom box on your shelf? I think I would be.
2 rainfall projects videos in a week, now thats the only Christmas gift i need
Being able to carve the lettering at a constant depth was crazy!
Your creative spirit and building talent should no longer amaze me...but they do. And on top of your farm and family dedication...very cool. Nerd or not; you are a truly inspiring person.

Ive seen every video you have posted to this channel, and never once thought you might be a board gamer. Glad to see you play too.
I'm really happy to see you uploading! Great project, and I love the variety of projects you do.

Fellow nerd checking in, sir. Welder, woodworker, D&D player, gave up on Gloomhaven because it was too complex for my simple mind to figure out, lol!
Great to see you back! I really enjoy your videos!
So glad to see these vids. I'm more traditional in my board games, Monopoly, Stratego, Risk, Trouble, Chess, Chinese Checkers.
I was so confused at first, seeing you making board game content, but I love it!
Awesome collection btw!
There are dozens of us. Dozens!
Really nice job. Super impressed with the token update.
Keep up your great work! We miss you here on RUclips!
What a great video!! You have been missed and it is awesome to see you back at it!!!
I am one of those nerds!
Super cool build man. Really love it

Yep, Gloomhaven player here. Awesome build.
This guy is everything youtube should be. Love this channel! I don’t even like board games 🤠

this is sweet, loving the vids are back!
I like the approach to the tracker. I assumed you’d make slide slots for each element, but I actually think I prefer this approach more… nicely done.
One of us dude - awesome to see :-D. Carcassonne is a banger - I also saw Azul in your vid which we've just got into and are really enjoying. We dig Wingspan too. Ticket to Ride is another good one and easy for kids/newbies to pick up 🙂
Great videos! I enjoy whatever you publish

Nerd here! Great to see you back.
Cross over may be small, but I am very fond of it. Looks great!
Good to see you back!
As a fellow nerd of a similar but different variety, keep it up Justin! Always making or doing something cool and always super well put together
You should of added a Neodymiane magnets to the bottom of the board that way the pieces don't go flying if the board gets knocked.
Glad to see more videos from you!
Very nice job. Keep making. God bless.
If your friends live far and wide, the steam version of gloomhaven is pretty cool too
Rainfall season has begun!
Keep ‘em coming! Been needing this!
Two vids! Xmas treat!? Awsome!!
Just beat the game a couple of weeks ago. That is just amazing.
I'm not a board-gamer, but I can appreciate a nice project. Great upgrade. 😀

Cool! Ill have to pick this game up. Lets have a game night if we ever meet up.
A couple like you? There are dozens of us. Dozens!
Your content is just fantastic
It really tickled me how when you were using the circle punch that they all kept flipping onto your thumb
Cones of Dunshire is hard to find, but amazing. 😉
yes you're back again!!
Great. Now ive got to buy gloomhaven, and make the board on my cnc. Thanks a lot!
really nice cnc work
Not into the games as you are, but still cool to see a maker at play.
Gloomhaven player and welding enthusiast checking in. We do exist.
Justin, what a Great Idea, Wonderful design, and implementation of this project. I can't wait until we can watch your next great idea come to fruition. Do you take on commission projects?
I thought this was a great video! I'm lucky I fall into the overlap on that venn diagram

Ark nova took me a week to get the rules down, but fell in love with it on the first play through. Just so many good choices on every turn.
@@rainfallprojects501 We watched a 45minute explainer video otherwise it would have taken us a week as well! Who needs free weights when you have Gloomhaven and Ark Nova boxes :)
very cool.
Awesome work as always! Been following since the Giant Bomb sign you made back in the day. You probably mentioned this before, but what kind of router is that? The detail you get from it is insane.
Well that was awesome
Awesome, dude.
Do they make a CNC sander end for fine sanding? or flat sanding final finish?
Our family loves this game
Cool! Would love for it to be a family game for us one day in the future, too. A family that dungeon crawls together, stays together right?
Where is your dog at?
Justin, you ever need a few more bodies to play a good game of Catan we are 10 minutes down the road. 😊
cool
Gloomhaven is amazing! Are you going to play Frosthaven??
I would love to pick it up one day, but I still have a lifetime of scenarios left with jotl and the original gloomhaven haha
Awesome! Definitely a cross-over here! Good job, man!
Love reading all these comments supporting you.
Now we’re either going to get another video in a couple days or 11 months 😂
I did not see any Carcassonne?
I’ve played it and liked it, but don’t have it for some reason. I’m adding it to my Xmas list!
@@rainfallprojects501 Make sure to get a version with the River included.
I'm all in if you're going to be doing more nerdy shit

Five tribes was #11 for me, so that’s a heck of a game night. Cool I’ll check out the vid!
I’d love to see your take on a Crokinole Board. Perfect job for a CNC unit like yours. I’ll be your first sale. Easy shipping, I’m here in the Valley
What are your thoughts?
Love it! What a great upgrade from the cardboard!
Flat out awesome!!!!
Board games + machining + woodworking... Yep youtube algorithms working JUST FINE!
... There might be a few nerds like me...*cough* *cough* Love the project!
Upgraded components make every game better! We’ve been playing Space Station Zero lately. More of a minis game but still an awesome co-op experience!
Two videos in three days, holy cow what is this Christmas!
well done. Board gamer should have used magnetic board andctiles at least.
I'm in that diagram... Work for ESAB and love board games 🤘🏻
