SUSPECTS: Claire Harper Takes the Stage | Solo Playthrough
My son in law, aka my game buddy, has been super busy finishing out his junior year of college, so I've only played 1 game in the past 2 months and that was a solo of Dune House Secrets❤😢. I snatched up a copy of botany that everyone is super excited to play once the holidays calm down. 😊
Well Todd, you may not have gotten the first post, but at least you got mentioned in the video. 😂
Nice haul.
I completely forgot to bring up Stalk Exchange! Right after I recorded I was like oh shoot!! Also I have Anno 1800 wrapped in shrink for you but I'm awaiting a box to come that will fit it 😆
What was the setting you were on? Did not catch that
Hi Amy! We had the app when it was still in prototype so the options are a little different in the final production copy. We just played with everything on I believe when we played. I hope you enjoy the game!!
@ Thank you.
Meaning the original song from the movie?
When you hear the 15 second sound clip, is it the song from the movie? With or without lyrics?
It plays with the lyrics/vocals as well!
@ Do the licensing rules allow you to use 15 seconds, but not a second more? Maybe same with dialogue “sound bites” too? I know this licensing stuff is a huge issue
I'm actually not entirely sure how they worked it out legally, but I do know 15 seconds the sweet number on social media most of the time, although now their are longer clips allowed as well. Definitely not an expert on that front. 😊
@ That is kind of the front I think. A big confusing front of Copyright Law and mostly, Universal Music Group, for so many You Tubers or other “creators” dealing with music.
i think i have only 15-20 plays of this. my problem is i don't log my plays. i try to remember all of them. not a good thing! i am old and forgetful. but game is very enjoyable. i hope all is well and have a great holiday!
@@travelinwithTODD record those plays!!! It's fun to look back at the stats. I've even been trying to enter scores now too in BGG. I record them all there and then sync my bg stats. I hope all is well with you!! I have both of your games you sent me on my December to be played list so I'm excited to finally get around to draft and write records and also onitama! I bet Wyatt loves onitama.. he is sure to crush me lol. Such a quick play time too I'm like oh could it be a new go to once we try it?!
@botanyandboard I have my scores on countless sticky notes though. Lol. Not very organized. Very excited to see how or if you like those 2 games. You should do a live play or premier of either one. I could tune in and watch and chat. The last time was fun.
@travelinwithTODD that's a great idea!
Such a warm and cozy game! I am not far behind you with about 74/75 plays. It is a great game to play after a day at work. Just pull it out put on some good music and enjoy the game. I have recommended this game to so many people because it is so easy to learn and so chill. Hope you and Wyatt and the dogs are having a great December! Lovin' the vibe of the recent videos. So nice to listen to while playing along.
Thanks Greg!! 🤗 We are having a good December so far - it's honestly flying by! I hope you guys are as well! Hooray hahahaa someone else who caught the obsession 😆
have a great holiday Greg.
84 Plays! WOW! Thank you so much.
I love it!! If you can't tell 🤗😆
I missed seeing this drowning in year ends and trying to figure out Christmas gifts last week!! 😩 This and A Gentle Rain seem like great stocking stuffers. Sheena is always struggling to figure out stuff for me. I really should do better making wish lists from neat stuff like this. You have lots of good ideas of things I don't know about otherwise without watching your videos. I used to do lots of sudoko puzzles too. I still have my big book stuffed in a bin in our coffee table, but the last while I've been going for crossword puzzles. Sheena found a crossword puzzle book at the dollar store that I have been obsessed for the last two years because of its difficulty (but a fun level of difficulty). Maybe I should grab the sudoko book. It's always satisfying to complete one of the harder ones. I just wish I was smart enough to know some of the advanced techniques 😵💫 I feel like I could solve them faster and easier if I did.
Oh I'm super slow at solving them lol, I don't know any advanced techniques either. I should get a new book, I don't have one anymore. Oh crossword puzzles!!! I LOVED those when I was growing up. Now I'm going to have even more hobbies 😂 Well thank you for saying I have good ideas - that was very nice!! 🤗 I feel you on the year end business. It's been a crazy time over here as well! I luckily filmed all three of these videos all in one day and edited the next otherwise I would have been missing my weekly upload. haha
I may not have been playing but watching this was a nice calming time out from the rush of year ends at my workplace ☺ This is on my radar for the next game order I place. It's back in stock and looks like there are lots of them. But I have nothing else to add to an order yet to make shipping worthwhile. I'm going to keep this comment short because I see there's another new video of yours I missed and got to go watch it right now 😃
You definitely should get it! If you are like me you won't regret it! 🤗
Love this. Another game I need to add to the collection.
It's such a easy one to get to the table!! Definitely worth the purchase! 😁
try linjaa
Is that another game? Called line? Or do you mean try to do a line as a strategy
@@botanyandboard linjaa is a tile laying game. Each tile has lines with angles or end points. It's not on bgg but can be found from shops in NL. I;m not aware of a translation, but the game is language independent. Kind of like Metro, a Queen game of old.
I love Sudoku so will look into picking this up. Thanks
@@jamesbrazeal3847 hope you had a great thanksgiving James!
This looks like a lot of fun. I used to LOVE doing Sudoku! I could do those for hours on end. This looks like a good puzzly fun game that is now on my wish list! That sweater looks so cozy warm! I like the color as well. It's a nice tone on you. Just heard the dogs barking and growling - so hello pups!!! 🤣😍
😂🤣 they can't make it through a video without having a part in it. The camera shaking at the end... They were playing with toys by the camera cord and it was wiggling the overhead cam 😑 can't take them anywhere 😆
@@botanyandboard 🐕🐕🤣 I thought there was a little extra wiggling going on over there. I though you were just getting a little "festive" early. 💃
@greg_herhuth 😂
i need to buy this game. it is always front and center at my local BG store. just waiting for me to buy it.
Taunting front and center always gets me!
@@botanyandboard they do it on purpose i think. i have no willpower.
well... i bought it tonight. i was on my way home from work, drove by the local BG store... now its mine!
@travelinwithTODD 🎉🎉🎉
@@botanyandboard playing Town77 and Adulthood right now. Fun night
my favorites : Sky team and Turing Machine
I love love love Turing Machine!! 10/10! I haven't played Sky Team but have heard good things so I might have to get myself a copy someday!
Bodacious Baley's self play tips🎉🎉🎉
Well. I am late to the commenting again. You have the 3rd vote for the music. I like it. I am a rock and roller, but i listen to a lot of muslc in my time. And smooth mellow jazz and jazz fusion is right up there. My favorite musicain of all time is Frank Zappa. I have listened to him for 43 years. He has all kinds of genres mixed into his music. So I've listened toa lott of music. The only music i dont like is country. Blues, rock, lots of heavy metal, jazz, I'll listen to it all. Ok, back to the video. Love the opening. Keep it. Keep the chill music. You are doing everything right! I have Honey Buzz but haven't played. Now i need to get the expansion and fet it played. Looks fun. I had my Thunder Road Vendetta kickstarter exspansion deliverdd yestersay so i am going to mess around with that this weekend. And i am playing Lands of the Mesozoic at the moment.
@@travelinwithTODD so I don't like country music either!! It's my one genre I'm like nooo lol although 90s country I love. John Michael Montgomery, Clint Black, George Strait that hey day. The only other thing I hate is mopey music... It makes my ears bleed 😆 I actually have two of your games on my shelf to be played!! Draft and Write records and Onitama! I also still haven't played Rock Hard 1977 despite reading the rules lol.. now it's been so long I'm going to have to reread them 😂 I have been meaning to get out fit to print again as well. It always feels right in the fall.
@@botanyandboardi read Rock Hard 1977 also, but a while ago. So I'll have e to read it again too. And that game speaks to me! I wanna rock!
So I have to agree with Chris, I am loving the ambient music playing. You have managed to take an already cozy game and make it even moreso. =) We love this game but admittedly we haven't played it recently. However, you have inspired us to get it to the table. SO thank you. The art is super cute and I love all the honeys and squishy fruits! Reminds me a lot of the Squishy Poops in Bark Avenue. LOL. The little animals are so freakin' adorable. Oh, I also like the graphic overlays you are using to highlight things on the board. Very nice. Great playthrough, great video!
Also, very pretty sweater. My daughter wants one. =)
It's so comfy I bought it in cream and that tan color lol. 😆 They were having a buy one get one free for Black Friday so I was like don't mind if I do lol.
@@botanyandboard at the risk of sounding like my parents, that's the time to do it - when they're on sale. 🤣 Very nice though. Looks so comfy!
We just need Todd's third vote and the ambient music could be here to stay for all the videos haha. Todd is probably like can you up the tempo with a little rock please 😆 I hadn't gotten it to the table either and now that I have I remember how fun of a game it is! Thank you for appreciating the graphics 🥰 I edited this game and cafe Baras on the computer I used to edit on so I found all my old graphics and transitions I used to use so I've been enjoying some throw backs!
@@botanyandboardi like it. Keep it. Hi greg.
I happened to be on YT when this dropped and got to be view #1 🤓 I was very interested to see this because I haven't played my Fall Flavors yet. It was good to see it in action before I try it out. And look at that beautiful board and all the cute critters 😍 I think visually this is one of the nicest games out there, especially with those squishy fruits. I'm surprised they included stuff like that in the regular retail version. Solo looks very easy to operate. I'm penciling in potential solo games for my Christmas break and it looks like I should add Honey Buzz to the list. I'm really liking the background music you've been using lately. It's really fitting. Calm vibes. I needed this break from the day, especially with year ends, because as it's going I might not make it to Christmas 😅🤯
Hahahaha I know the feeling!!! 😂 Let's hope we both make it!! You should definitely add it to the list! I really like it solo because I can think however long I want without any rush. Oh good I'm glad you have been enjoying the ambience. I have been really into ambience music in the background while I read lately so I was like oh I should put some of this on my videos since I've been playing some fall cozy games figured it hits the holiday vibe so I'm so happy to hear!! I had to edit it like three times lol I kept having one issue after the other and would find it after I upload. But I recorded and edited three videos all yesterday and today since I had the days off so now I'm getting ready to start None of This is True on audio and finally get back to my plant puzzle! I have to work tomorrow to do accruals since they are due next Monday at noon I was like welp looks like I will be working this week lol but I'm feeling accomplished at least now that hopefully I can just relax and read and game and whatnot the rest of break after we get back from my parents for Thanksgiving.
The game though is sooooo pretty 😍 the board and all the components are just top notch even at the retail version it's so nice!! Even the box kids are nice quality 😆
I was just thinking about doing a solo marathon video and your video popped up! I guess it's a sign to do the video. 😊
Please do and I'll go watch!! 🤗 I didn't realize you had a channel as well I just subscribed 😁 I hope you have a great week!!
@botanyandboard 🖤🖤🖤 Thank you!!🖤🖤🖤
I am so behind on my video watching. Happy birthday!😊
Thank you Kelly!! 🤗 I hope you have an amazing Thanksgiving and have some relaxing time off!
The best part about youtube is posting a long comment and having none of it go through. It's so much fun! Of course I don't have any wity things to say now so I'll just leave a short version. I like the opening. Always enjoy when you 2 do playthroughs. I like this game. Have only played it solo. But the variant on BGG is very good and easy.
😭 why does it keep doing that!!! I'm so sorry!!! 😔 But I didn't even think to check for a Solo mode on BGG I will have to try that!! Practice up in solo so I can beat Wyatt next time 😆 I hope you have a great week Todd!! 🤗
Where to start... Hmmm. First, love the intro with the hexes and sign. Second, glad I could help you with an even better score Wyatt. And also, sorry Baley! I should have warned you that my ability to pick the winner of any game is terrible and should not be trusted. I love Wyatt's statement at the end about him appreciating the optimism, but.... 😂😂😂. I think you both played great, but Wyatt's end game scoring really helped him a ton. Lily and Luna are so adorable 🥰😍🥰. Glad to see them. Café Baras is a great game. I would have to say that out of the two cafés, I would have to visit Baleys. Though with no deserts.... Hmmm. I might have to think about that! 😂 We really enjoyed this video. Fun to watch, great humor from both of you, and a wonderful game!
Thanks Greg!!! I'm so happy you guys enjoyed it!!! 🤗🥰 Aren't they just the cutest? I mean annoying at times... and don't really listen,... but other than that 😆 adorable they sure are! I can offer milk in your coffee, but no desert. It would be cute if they had little mini seasonal food expansion packs. Like a pumpkin spice latte for Fall, and maybe egg nog for Christmas. I really like the game as well! While light and straight forward there are plenty of decisions to make on each turn that it feels like a good level of planning and strategy. The Cape Baras and the artwork was also adorable. It's a definite hit. I need do do a little review graphic for IG. I keep telling myself each game and book as I play and read to just make the graphic... but I can't ever seem to get into the groove of right in the moment. New Years goals haha.
@@botanyandboard😂😂😂 I get it. I have plenty of graphics to make as well. I guess I am just procrastinating. I love that idea to do themed expansions. That would be awesome. Christmas Tree decoration, seasoned food and drinks, themed cafes (modern, rustic, retro decorated cafes cards). Oh that would be awesome. #ktbg I think the girls (Luna and Lily) are worth it. My wife says I am annoying at times and I don’t listen but she keeps me, so…. 😂😂😂
@greg_herhuth 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Game play vids! Game play vids!
Like the snazzy new opening! And great playthrough! Tough to pick which cafe of yours to visit because I like that Baley got a board game going on at her but Wyatt has cake. Caaake! But nobody got the arcade cabinet. That might have been the one to make the decision 🤔 We just played Cafe Baras again ourselves. I also beat Sheena really good cleaning up on the special guest points.
Why thank you! Wyatt has gotten me that hex light so I was like well why not record a quick little intro . I can just stare at the lights in fascination lol. Well now Sheena can know she's not alone in forgetting to focus on those 😅 I actually got the arcade cabinet on Saturday so I'm taking that as a win for my cafe 🤣😂
I love that Baley got the board game! 😂 Perfect! I also agree that the Arcade Cabinet would have been nice to see in someone's cafe! (Looking at you Baley). Those Special Guest cards have been my downfall many times. I usually pay a lot of attention to them, but when I don't it seems everyone else does and gets all the points. 😢😂
@@greg_herhuth 😂
I couldn’t wait to get to my computer today to see your vlog! Looks like you had a really good birthday week. Lots of nice food. I need to get into better shape too. I really don’t want to have to buy all new pants but I’m just teetering on being unable to fit in 34s. Not good. So I’m joining you on the getting back in shape program. Having to clean up leaves and do all kinds of outdoors chores lately has helped with that. Oh, those two girls are sure giving you a look 👀 I get that look often, exact same look, except with a chihuahua head and occasionally a hairy cat head if she isn’t napping, is actually up and alert, which is rarely. You have a lot of nice trees in your area! For some reason I pictured it as a little more prairie-like, but I guess that’s more west of Kansas. Funny that we were also missing our fall wreathes. I never doubted that Wyatt was innocent in your missing decor. I’m convinced you have a case of gnomes, just like we do here. I can’t otherwise explain how our decor tends to get mixed up, no matter how hard we try to organize it, fall decor somehow ends up mixed with Christmas decor and the only way I can explain it is that there are little gnomes running around when we aren’t looking. I often call it soup-eh, a bit of a play on French since that’s how the French side of my family always called it. I tend to use what we call Franglais terms for many things, mixing the French and English words. Lots of really nice looking plants in your vlog. I’m making that comment watching some bits of this a second time. I really don’t want to go back to work. It’s year end time. Lots of stress. It makes me sad to hear you’re always stressed. But I get it. We're in the same situation. Always stressed. No comment on Wyatt and the jiggling 😅
🤗🥰🌞 that makes me so excited to hear you were looking forward to watching my vlog!! Yesss!! so you understand where I am at completely! it was all fun and games until my pants were getting uncomfortable and then I was like no Baley you don't buy bigger pants you figure it out 😆 . I did however buy two new pairs of pants one size up.. and even those are feeling snug soooo I was like okay I'm going to tell YT everyday so ppl help hold myself accountable. And with Thanksgiving and Christmas around the corner I'm going to have an uphill battle haha. Yes MO and eastern KS have a ton of trees! However you are spot on Western Kansas is just flat, no trees in sight, tons of windmills lol. You are total right I must have inherited your gnomes through the screen and are running amok and putting Fall in Christmas totes! It was the VERY last tote we looked in lol. OMG that's right! you said you are from Canada... French Canadian that makes total sense!! Hahaha I will say to Wyatt next time "what would you like for soup-eh" and see what kind of reaction I get. 😆 My Dad's name is actually French, Jon'e (pronounced Sean/Shawn)... and I'm honestly not sure why his was French leaned into so much now that I mention it 🤔 Hopefully one of these days you and I aren't stressed! Retirement perhaps? Knowing me not even then lol, I can't seem to help myself. I feel you on the year end though! Ending one, setting up another, shorter months from the Holidays... accountants "dream" LOL.
I love the color changes on the trees. Living in michigan is so awesome for that. Up north and in the UP, the a photgrqphers dream come true. Great video, as always. Wyatt's vibrating ass was quite desturbing. But i did watch it a few times! Not on purpose, though! I know what i am having for "dinner" tonight. A BLT. Sounds so good. And yes, i say dinner, not supper.
you should definitely have a BLT... so so good. We have been going to this same place for probably two months in a row lately and I get the same BLT + egg every week and fries... hints my need to get to working out lol 😆 hahahahha it's hard to look away from it. I never know what Wyatt is going to surprise me with lol... he's something. I love the Fall trees so much! I just wish they lasted longer, and didn't require leaf bagging once they fall hahaha.
@@botanyandboard wait, egg? a fired egg on top? if so, that sounds even better. a fried egg on anything is good. a fired egg on a shoe would be good.
@travelinwithTODD 🤣😂🤣😂 I actually agree! I freaking love eggs! And yep a fried egg on top and it's just perfection.
Wow, the scenery and beauty in your area!!!! Gorgeous! And of course, hello Luna & Lily! You played some great games and read some wonderful books and puzzled a beautiful puzzle. I have yet to play Haunted Mansion, but I would love to try it. And OMG Witchcraft is so awesome, thank you again. Love the Sunday Scaries shirt! Power Plants is also a fun game! Pretty fun solo as well.
And since I hit the send button accidentally, the shirt looks great! I am so happy you like them. I might have another surprise coming your way soon. Not too soon, but soon. 😂
@greg_herhuth, that shirt looks great, greg!
I have been playing Witchcraft almost every day last week. It's so fun.
@travelinwithTODD thanks Todd. Love the sign you got for her. Perfect!!!
@greg_herhuth, i got Wyatt a Lions hat. But I assume you could get your ass beat for wearing that down there! Lol
Damnit! Now I am tapping my foot and want to break out and dance How do you like the game? Is it solo? Are you wearing the hat, watching the Lions?
Hahaha you dance Todd! We really like it!! I love the competitive nature at two. I haven't played it solo yet but it does play solo! The chiefs played yesterday too so we had our Chiefs stuff on instead but when they play the lions later this season I might have to wear the lions hat 😆
@botanyandboard, the chiefs are killing it this year... every year! As a Michigander, I am still shocked by how good the Lions are. Most of my 58 years have been disappointing as a Lions fan.
@@travelinwithTODD what if the first game the chiefs lose is to the lions? Wouldn't that be crazy?!
It will be a playoff game. Cause we don't play them in regular season. Unless I'm wrong.
From The rules: put cards face up (living side faceup) at the entrance stack. Now you can plan a bit ahead every round 😊
Oh whoops!! Thank you!! That will help see what's coming!
Too bad of the mistake in the last round, but you madenotes of it. 👍 But good game. The solo game is not too difficult to manage but i also get lost sometimes in my own thoughts and forget for example if i just payed my wages for my accomplices or not and that sort of things 😅
@royvalstar I forget things all the time! In all games! hahaha having a channel and seeing the recorded mistakes is a really humbling experience 😅😂
From The rules: put cards face up (living side faceup) at the entrance stack. Now you can plan a bit ahead every round 😊
i am going to get "We Used to Live Here" on audiobook if they have it. that sounds really good. and "Sleep Tight" with the serial killer sounds good. anything with serial killers or mafia, i am down for that. 10:43 are those ghosts behind you? 12:19 plant to the right with the light colored leaves and the green inside is very cool.
Yesss my Ficus Tineke! It's one of my favorites!! My lower leaves some of them have been getting a brown mushy outside and I have looked it up but there seems to be lots of potentials with what's going on but ive just tried to be very consistent with my waterings and haven't had any browning on the new leaves for quite some time so 🤞🏼 I love love loved it!! It's the very last ending for me that sealed the deal! If you have Spotify it gives you basically an audiobook and a half a month with your subscription. Which is cheaper than buying one audiobook most times although you can listen again and again if you so wish. Sleep Tight also was so so good!
A lot of interesting spooky season games! We don't have very many. I was thinking we needed to get some more. Lots of good ideas here! I picked up Power Plants thinking it might stretch to a spooky season game but I don't think it's going to make it to the table in time. Texas Chainsaw Massacre looks interesting. You had me at bag building! But I wouldn't be allowed to bring it home 😅 Will you be handing out candy this year? Do you get a lot of trick or treaters? It's going to rain here on Halloween evening. I don't think we'll get many. I hope not because our dog goes crazy howling, not just barking but full on howling like a wolf when anyone shows up at the door. I'm not looking forward to that 😵💫It's always exciting to knock off a bunch of new to me/you/us games off the list 🙂 We've been working on ours, but no matter how hard we work at it the list always seems to get longer 🤔
Hahaha I take it Sheena isn't a fan of horror movies 😆 I love bag building, it makes it a ton of fun to anxiously pull out the next token. As if I need my anxiety increased 😅 We actually have never gotten a single trick or treater... which this year is actually a good thing because our front door hasn't opened for about a month..... I'll just let that sink in 😂 We live in a 1940s Tudor home and have already piered the foundation once, and yet here we are again. Day by day.... lol. I have been feeling a little stressed the last two years honestly lol so I am finally like okay I think if I got some of my shelf of opportunity played and knocked down I would feel better! So I'm trying that method, and trying to shush Shoulder Baley from telling me to buy more games... although she has been in my ear a lot about backing Madcala.. so here we go again 😅
@@botanyandboard Yeah, horror movies get a big no from Sheena, but I like a good scary-creepy movie here and there. So they have to be man cave movies for when I go work on my puzzles. I’m thinking of starting a new one today, although I should go out after work and empty my plant pots before the frost cracks them. But it’s just starting to snow a bit. I really don’t want to go out there… Wow, big wow, I’m surprised you don’t get any trick or treaters, seeing your vlogs I would have thought there’d be some kids around. We get about 20 each year. Some of my coworkers think it's crazy that we only get 20 because they get hundreds. Just non-stop for hours, lineups of kids. Oh, that sounds like some major shifting to stick a front door like that. We’re still debating if we buy an older home or a new build for our next step in life. There are lots of older century homes for sale on the Atlantic coast, but I’m sure they come with many quirks of stuck doors and other things. Our place is just about as old as yours but it has generally been solid minus the vaulted ceilings causing big ice dams in the winter because there is basically no insulation in them. I’m trying to break out of buying so many games. It gets silly sometimes because we don’t have enough time to play them all yet I still buy and buy. Perhaps we really do need to move because our FLGS is literally just a 5 minute walk away. I can’t really go anywhere without going by it. Way too convenient to stop in! But I just decided to pass on a few KS campaigns, either to not get them at all or wait until retail. We might win over shoulder Baley!
Wyatt hates scary movies as well.. I had him watch Poltergeist last night because I hadn't seen it and when we were getting ready for bed he's like "well thanks to you I'm sure I'll have weird dreams, when can we watch a hallmark" 😂 Also after watching the Poltergeist I understand the Final Girl feature film much more haha. OMG SNOWING!!! It was 81 degrees in KC today and super super windy, I hope we aren't getting that weather moving our way haha. When we bought our house I thought we would have trick or treaters, and we moved in literally the week of Halloween so I went crazy and bought sooo much candy, and absolutely no one came lol. Our road is a pretty busy road though, so I think kids must just stick a little more inside the neighborhood streets. My parents live in the country as well, so we never got any growing up either. Although my friends are having kids these days so maybe one of these days I'll just make them baskets or something and ask them to be the only few that come by hahaha. Hundreds would be insane!! I'm like it sounds amusing and fun for an hour and then I would be like okay house is closed. I know there is sometimes no winning with houses, people who have new builds seem to think they aren't built like they used to be, and then mine who was built "well" has a little more settling and cracking than is desired lol. 😅 We can start a movement against shoulder Baley 😂 That would be super dangerous only 5 mins away.... although maybe you should use that as you only go and buy one game at a time and then come back home and play it before you can go back. 😆
@@botanyandboard Hallmark always wins over scary here 😄 That's our standard thing when playing games inside, is having a Hallmark movie playing in the background. If one of us takes a bit to play their turn the other can catch up with the movie. I just wish they were still playing fall movies instead of Christmas. Too early, I think! Although I think there might be some fall ones in the on demand section. I should look next time! The problem with my FLGS is its rather small, so if there's something I might be interested in it's a buy now or never kind of situation, because they don't have a lot of stock and don't tend to get restocks. Shoulder Baley seems to thrive on scarcity 😅
@chrisb2129 hahahaha she's like the perfect scenario.. meananicingly twirls hands and whispers in your ear you would hate to have another mists over Carcassonne scenario wouldn't you Chris"... 😂🤣 Oh I agree they go from maybe a few new Fall and then boom it's Christmas! You will have to let me know if you find any good releases this year! My mom used to dvr all the new ones and tell me what was good to watch and which ones to skip.
Great list of games. I need to get The Bloody Inn. I did get witchcraft, so I'm looking forward to playing that. I always love playing Welcome To. Such a fun game. And now i have the collector edition which has everything. I am playing Texas Chainsaw on halloween. I like that game. And being a fan of the first film makes it even better. Jessica Biel version.... i was almost 40 when that came out. HOW OLD AM I. OMG. I grew up on the original! I posted a video of all my recent game buys. I have an addiction!
I just watched it!!! I was like omg that was a ton of games!!!! You will be busy!! I counted my shelf of opportunity and it's at 53 games 😅 so I'm like a buying ban is probably in store for me lol.
@botanyandboard I went and checked out a new board game store in Detroit on Saturday, so I got a few more! I don't venture into Detroit to often!
@@travelinwithTODD when you do, do you wear a lions hat? 😄
Okay, just finished the video! It was awesome! I must say thank you for hugging the tripod the entire time for the raw footage of Welcome To! 😅😅😅 Power Plants is pretty good solo. I enjoyed it enough to play solo again. Thank you SO much for the copy of Witchcraft! OMG that game is amazing. I have played it 10 times and it just keeps impressing me. I am not very good at it though. Elder Sign I enjoyed but there's a lot to remember and the pieces are so tiny. Ugh. Don't they know some of us have big hands?!?!? 😂 Finally, hello super cute pooches! They are adorable 😍🥰! I totally want to see a playthrough of Witchcraft by the way!
Omg 10 times already?! That's amazing!!! Did you go to the campaign or just the standard rules?
@@botanyandboard just good old standard rules. I want to do the campaign soon though.
@@greg_herhuth there is so much replayability with all the different witches! I'm excited to start the campaign!!!
@@botanyandboardI agree. It's awesome. I am excited to start the campaign too. I like that they included it.
Okay, not done watching the video yet but I had to give you props for dropping something out of the Dracula vs. Van Helsing box and not even flinching. The show must go on 😅.
🤣😂🤣
@@botanyandboardGreg leaves 2 comments to my none. I am such a bad subscriber
Hahaha oh Todd you could never be a bad subscriber!!!
Hi greg!
@@travelinwithTODDhey Todd!
I need to stop watching your videos. I keep thinking, “oooh, that looks cool!” Today it was, “wait, Goonies what now?” I have *so* many unplayed games as it is I do not need inspiration to buy more! Wait, maybe that’s my real hobby. Maybe stalking to find deals and then purchasing is my superpower? But then, my superpower really should be being able to answer the question, “where the hell am I going to put all these?” in the most efficient manner!
Ahahahahah 😂 I too am out of space these days so I'm like okay what to do now.. stop buying would be the easy thought but who wants to do that 🤣 buying them and getting packages in is half the fun. I made a list of 15 games I have that I haven't played yet for Fall and I've been making my way through but I'm like will I get all 15 played.. doubtful haha. We did play the goonies yesterday morning and it wasn't my favorite at 2. Since one person is the game master I felt like a bigger group would have been better so it probably wasn't the best purchase for me. I liked the theme though and ppl who have a bigger game group would probably like it but two not so much.
I grew up driving about an hour away to the mountains where my family is from to go apple picking. Was dirty and tedious and we’d leave with about ten bushels and had a ton of fun. Now it is one of the biggest tourist attractions in the state with tours, bounce houses, and you get to pick a bagful (!) and it is just not the same. So I go to a different part of the state and buy direct from a self-growing farmer that supplies most of his area farmers markets. I actually get sick of the fruit after a while, especially since my favorite variety isn’t in season for a bit longer. But I just love to put apples in salads, chicken recipes, middle eastern dishes, etc. enjoy!m
Oh I love that!! Ya we definitely didn't make it all the way through our apples before we were kind of over them haha and we only had one bag!
For the life of me I just cannot develop a passion for Carcassone. It is preferable to Catan for me, but not by much! (And yes, I am almost 2 weeks behind in my video watching. Work is kicking my behind lately!)
I have won numbsters twice out of lord knows how many games. Both times with a 9, go figure. 👻
How funny it was with the 9 both times! I had thought I won with a 13 once but then I realized it was on the wrong side of the mouth 😔 so no wins still over here. But it's always fun to try! Work has been kicking my behind as well!!! And I do appreciate that instead of just skipping you are going back to watch! 🤗 That makes me so happy 🥰 I hope your work starts to slow! I have next week off so I'm over here making my off work to do list 😂🤣
@@botanyandboardam jealous of your time off! I think my next break is an extended Thanksgiving week. Off Wednesday through Monday, and already have a half dozen things in my 'I need to do this when I am off' list. . . .
@@kelly_kpb glad I'm not the only one who overloads her time off lol I'm always like why do I do this to myself 🤣
👻 I want Mists for next spooky season!
I highly recommend it!! I loved it!!
👻👻👻
omg. you tube and not posting my comments. i am going to start ToddTube. Stronger, faster, ad free, and one hell of a company owner! i here Todd is something else! ok, ill repeat this yet again. wait... are you crying? great games all around. i need to get Witchcraft and Foundations of Metropolis. i almost order Foundations yesterday, i guess i have to now. i just got Under Grove yesterday! i have bought so many games in the last 2 weeks! lol. and a few of my Kickstarter games are starting to show up! when is your birthday??? this occasion deserves a gift! be right back...
Where shall I submit my application to Todd Tube?! 😆 I really do need to call them again and get to the bottom of it that irks me! It takes a long time to write and comment for it to just up and disappear 😡 don't bring out mean shoulder Baley YT. 😆 I'll reach out to them next week I have time off!! And my birthday is the 22nd but absolutely no gifts are needed you already gave me one and I haven't played it yet so see if I do that on my birthday it's perfect 🥳 Lol you have no idea how much I was crying I sneezed three times back to back I literally had to wipe tears from my eyes before the cut I was like they are going to think I'm having a breakdown 😂
Also another question! When I call them lol did you post a comment on my Fall Vlog from Sunday? Bc I didn't ever see it if so and so I'll tell them that too!
@@botanyandboard yes i did, i think i tried twice.
@@botanyandboard Shoulder Baley is gettin' angry! no gifts. well, i would never do that. if you tell me no gifts, then there will be no gifts. BUT, i cant control what Todd does!
😡😡 I wonder what is going on!! It took me like 10 hours to edit so I was excited for someone to watch and I was like no Todd comment 😟 YT!!!! 🔥
Nice haul! I have a lot of those games as well. Except Witchcraft! I really want Witchcraft! 😢 I can't wait to try Cafe Baras and Honey Buzz Fall Flavors. Undergrove was good. I think the others enjoyed it more, but I enjoyed it. I couldn't help but notice that guy walk by in the background with all the dogs! Lol😅 Oh, and I really like your shirt! However, the backdrop doesn't seem as Spooky as years past. 👻 Looking forward to some playthroughs.
I love how similar our tastes are! I will have to let you know about Under Grove and see if I fall into your feels as well on it. Hahah I noticed that in editing! He's my neighbor down the street and those dogs are so spoiled he walks them everyday and sometimes multiple times a day! And three all at once I have two little 12 lb dogs and they drag me down the sidewalk half the time so his ability is impressive to me lol I know I didn't spooky up my office at all it's just as regular as any season... Maybe I should bring up some lights 🤔
@@botanyandboard I do like that we have similar tastes as well. That way I know if there's something I am interested in and you have it and like it.... well, it gets added to my collection. Those were some pretty big dogs! I was kinda hoping something funny would happen back there. 😂 I think your little girls are the perfect size. Though I did just picture them dragging you down the street. 😂😂😂 So have you played Septima solo? I am curious to know how that plays. I have got to find Witchcraft!
@greg_herhuth don't get witchcraft! Email me your address I'll get you a copy and mail it!! I owe you for always being here for me! 🤗 Lol wouldn't that have been hilarious a whole debacle out the window that I don't even know is happening until editing 😂🤣
good evening Greg, how are things?
@@travelinwithTODD hey Todd! Going pretty good here. How’s everything with you?
Great game haul! 😍I just read the Cafe Baras rulebook at noon today. We’re going to try it very soon. I’d like to get Honey Buzz going too but Undergrove I might also kick to the spring. We’re thinking alike! But I wasn’t thinking like Wyatt with Hagrid because truthfully I didn’t even notice your hair through my game tunnel vision 🤓 I'm totally clueless with anything like that anyways 😄 Hopefully you'll get to try some of these for your birthday next week 😀 Happy advance birthday!! 🥳🥳🥳 Your wish was much like mine when Sheena asked if there was anything I wanted to do, I said just play one of my favorite games and that's it. I could really use a buy ban now too. A game Sheena wanted came in stock on the weekend, so I thought I'd order it for her and get a couple off my wish list, and Sheena then did a really good job of enabling me and encouraging me to get some of the games I was on the fence about 😑😅 I ended up getting Power Plants among them. Sheena caught sight of it and really liked the idea of it. We might play it fairly soon too. It could be seen as a spooky season game, maybe, with wizards and magical plants 🤔
Magical plants you are so right that should qualify!!! Enabling/encouraging 😂🤣 I mean if Sheena agrees who are you to argue you don't need that game 😆 I am finally about out of shelf space so unless I get myself to cull some games I'm not going to have anywhere for new ones anyways and let's not forget all the stuff I've backed that isn't in yet lol 🤣 games galore over here, but a fun problem to have! Thank you for the early birthday wishes!! If things go as planned I should have a very productive gaming week next week! I took the whole week off on PTO so I am the only reason if it doesn't happen lol
Oops! I commented before I watched the whole thing. 🤣🤣🤣
Cool! Thanks! I will be looking forward to Honey Buzz. Lol. I got my copy of Undergrove recently, but haven't played it yet.I thought about Cafe Baras, but didn't get it, and will probably wish that I did. Have you played the solo game, Witchcraft? I'm thinking about picking that one up.
You are still here!!! Yay!!!! 🤗 I was like she might have given up on me 😂🤣 but I didn't forget you!! So I will let you know soon about witchcraft bc my goal is to play it with you this month so it will be in my October wrap up that fingers crossed I will have ready to post on Halloween. Cafe Baras I will probably get to in November and can let you know then my thoughts!!
@@botanyandboard *She 🙃I've still been around. Lol! Sounds good! I think that I am going to get Witchcraft this week. I have some stuff on hold anyway from Game Nerdz, so I may as well add to my order.😂~ Sharon
Might as well indeed Sharon! It sounds like a lot of us are going to be playing Witchcraft here soon. Also so good to know a name!! - looking at usernames is always confusing!!
@@botanyandboard I bought it, so I am hoping to get it next week! 😄
@@turtleeye4 I just played witchcraft once today and did really really like it! I'm wanting to play through the campaign that comes with it after I get a few plays under my belt.
Ooo, apple picking! I haven't done that in a long time. What a fun way to spend a fall day! Looks like you have a very happy little apple picker there 🐶 We have a little chihuahua sized "apple picking crew" sweater our dog goes out with now to keep her little chihuahua body warm in the cooling evenings. What has Wyatt been eating if he hasn't had a turkey leg in 20 years?? Well, my record might not be much different come to think of it 🤔😄 Oh, those gloves make Wyatt look like a pro turkey leg eater. He knew exactly what he was going for when your bag was packed 😎 Looks like a fun fair! Now holding my breath watching that guy try to step out of that hoop while balancing on the roller thing 🤭 I sometimes can't even balance on a firm level surface so that profession is out for me! Hmm, I think Hocus Pocus is on Sheena's watch list for the coming weeks. I'm pretty sure that's the movie. Lots of nice dog pictures at the end 😍 You're going to have a really nice lifetime souvenir from this! You really did a great job putting together this memory reel! Our fall has been very uneventful so far. We were asked to go to some fairs and passed. We haven't gone on any bigger fall color outings yet either. Maybe this coming weekend, but our dog is a major pain in the car because she whines a lot, sometimes constantly. She kind of discourages us going out on longer outings like we used to.
Apple picking crew dog sweater 😍🥰 omg that is adorable!!!! Lol I had no idea he had packed things in my purse so I was like what is even happening right now lol 😅 also hilarious it was like an industrial going to mix concrete type glove 🤣 Wyatt keeps like entertaining I do say. Well staying in and playing some new games and watching hocus pocus sounds glorious to me!!! Oh I know I couldn't do even one of the things in isolation that the juggler was pulling off! It was part comedy part magic show and I found I really liked the comedy to pair with the magic! We have a good time!
