Next challenge: purge one game per shelf 😉
we honestly need to do that. getting full up in this place
@@TheBrothersMurph to make it easyer, start with one game per column and one per row. But no dublets.
Ridiculously, I kept thinking I need to move games around in my cubes in case someone forces me to do this 😂
way more interesting to see this version of a collection tour
I feel like there was at least one game on each shelf that I need to add to my board game research list! So many great opportunities! I loved this video
So glad you enjoyed!
This helped me add a few to my wishlist for sure
That was an emotional Rollercoaster! The hardest part for me was both GWTs still sitting there after picking. So jealous of all these new games on your shelves!
I know! that shelf was freaking ROUGH
As a comparison, y'all should make a list of the 46 games you would keep without the 'shelf by shelf' limit.
Ahh! I love this video.
I usually listen to you guys while I do my accountant work (you gotta spice that up🤣), but this was too good. Imma going to have to come back to this with my full attention.
Love it. 😁
Nice we are so happy to hear we can help keep you busy at work that's awesome!
We approached this as a mix of favorite games mixed with a rounded collection. So going in the same order you guys went my gf and I would've kept Suburbia, Honey Buzz, Spirit Island, Empires of the North, Wingspan (big choice there lol), Isle of Cats, Horrified, Welcome To, Rococo (assuming we're not counting D&D otherwise that wins), Night Cage (perfect for a more rounded collection), Boon Lake, Space Base, Hallertau, Castles of Tuscany (foreshadowing), Flamecraft, Ark Nova, Tidal Blades, Abyss, Rajas of the Ganges, Furnace, Clank (because this is what you have now and the assumption is no more games showing up before you're on that deserted Island so no Catacombs), Scythe, Pandemic, Thunder Road, Viscounts, Cobble and Fog (even by itself), Le Havre, Cascadia, Skull King, Arnak (even if you tried to hide it lol), Journeys in Middle Earth (gotta get a LOTR fix), Hanamikoji (we haven't played high society), Get On Board, Orleans, Endeavor, Stop Thief, Glenmore 2, Red Cathedral, Tekhenu, Parks (we got our Shem already thankfully), Destinies (hence why we didn't take it earlier but did take OG Horrified), Duelosaur Island, Funfair (we love this so much), Chronicles of Crime 2400 from that group of 3 (already got a T game thankfully), Quacks (narrowly), wine...I mean Viticulture, Castles of Burgundy (there's that foreshadowing), Yokohama, Bloody Inn (so gooood), Grand Austria Hotel, Kanagawa, Aliens (sorry but anything Aliens wins), The Others (hence why we took Chronicles 2400 earlier), Project L, Crew Deep Sea, and Marvel Legendary at the end for a deck builder.
From our own shelves (much fewer lol) we wound up with Funfair, Architects of the West Kingdom, Get On Board, Welcome To, Riverside, Floriferous, Gloom, Village Green, Skull King, Meadow, Cascadia, Tokeido, Lanterns (you can play with us Nick), Istanbul Big Box (barely beat Five Tribes), Vengeance Roll & Fight, Rajas of the Ganges, Hallertau, Viticulture (this beat out Burgundy by a bloody inch), Praga, Pipeline (took this over Brass and GWT), Bloody Inn (sorry Arkham LCG), Santa Monica (sorry Quacks), TM Ares Expedition, Project L, Carcassonne (new anniversary box), Flamecraft, Red Cathedral (barely beat Azul Stained Glass), COC 2400 (knocked out Destinies for the app winner), Abyss, Ticket to Ride Europe, Pandemic Iberia, Summoner Wars 2nd edition, Mansions of Madess (this killed me as it took out Star Wars Rebellion and I breath Star Wars), Ark Nova (beat out Arnak), Glenmore 2, Nemesis, and Suburbia as it's on top of a shelf alone (big anniversary box). I died a little with some of the choices made.
First of all, y’all are legends for going through the video and making your own choices for the shelves. Epic. And we agree with your choices well done!
Love your shelves as well! Definitely had to make some tough tough choices but great collection you have and we do seem to have similar tastes aka the best tastes so yay!
I'm so happy to see that **It's a Wonderful World** is hitting for you both! I've been recommending it ever since Nick first mentioned wanting that small satisfying engine builder a few years back.
Such a good game
Hey guys I loved this video and really loved Jenna's too! Would still like to see your favourites from A-Z revisited, or maybe something like 1 roll and write, or 1 game of a particular theme or mechanism? You guys always bring the joy :)
No GWT!?!?!😱 I couldn’t believe it. Some of the pics I guessed right away. I was surprised that you didn’t choose Feast for Odin too. I also love how Nick says he’s choosing in Mikes favor to make Mike feel bad😂 classic brother banter. Great challenge! Oh and who loss the coin toss to put all those games back?
I really enjoyed the video - along with my own little mini game of trying to use my BM knowledge skills to guess which game you’d pick for each selection 😅
Oooh taking the video next level with the predictions!
That was awesome and painful to watch. We were just talking about only keeping 50 games when we downsize in a few years.
Part of me really wants to do that. Like really get for reals about the games you want to keep and play and keep things lean and mean. I mean we do this for a job so I think there's more of an argument we can make (or convince ourselves of) for keeping a wide variety of games like that but if it was just me and I was just doing this as a hobby, I'd love to keep that collection size way down.
It isn't the lack of space that is the issue but some games are so awesome they deserve additional breathing room.
No love for Praise Be, Phil Walker Harding!? I thought for sure that Cacao would get the nod over Pagoda, but excellent choices all over the shelves! Love the content - keep ‘em coming.
We panicked in the moment!
I love this video. I have at least 70% of the games you have chosen (and some that luckily I found in second hand stores).
That’s awesome!!
So many games I haven’t played. Definitely a cool way to see what other kinds of games are out there.
i love videos like this where you get to learn so many new unfamiliar games that don't get much hubbub!
This was such a fun watch! Your final collection was still larger than my collection, though!
That's how you know we have a problem right there
Loved that. I hope you do it again in a year or 2 to see what might change. Only thing I would have picked instead was GWT. Otherwise I largely agree. Great stuff.
Great video!
Great recommendation on Honey Buzz. If you're a "play it for the theme" gamer, then this one is sweet (like honey).
The Jack Black reference from "Saving Silverman" was epic.
Such an underrated quote
@@TheBrothersMurph
Lol. I just love how indignant Steve Zahn is, but then Jack Black responds with that nonsense. It's hilarious.
I got culled twice, then redeemed with the Duelosaur Island pick! This is such a fun experiment and I'm gonna try it with my shelves next.
Had to make sure we kept some Dino love!!
You passing on power grid genuinely hurt my soul... 💔
Thoroughly enjoyed this video... Woke the kids up screaming at the screen though.. thanks a lot 😑😂
It was a tough thing to do for sure
It was impressive how quickly you made your decision for each shelf 😄
We figured it was just best to rip the band aid off each time and keep moving forward. Otherwise it gets too agonizing haha
I'm not sure 600 shelves will fit in my house.
Love this approach over top 10's. Would be interesting to see the next level of this. Out of the pile you have there, What would you trim down for the short shelf, which one would be a display and which one would you play next?
Oooh interesting idea! Very cool
@@TheBrothersMurph Displays to me are always the - "I wish I had more time games." ie War of the ring. Super awesome and wont remove but I'm not playing it every-week.
Oh my! On the top of my shelves are Arachrony: Infinity Box, Scythe big box, Ark Nova, Lost Ruins of Arnak w/Leaders and Mechs vs Minions.
Oof yeah that shelf is gonna hurt to choose from
That is true! a nacho is still a nacho no matter how the cheese fuse it!
If I pull up the entire plate because it's melted, That's my nacho. and now my plate
That's....half the number of games in my collection. I feel proud.
Great gaming memory: playing Welcome To with you guys on Twitch.
Such a fun game. We need to do that again.
Really interesting idea … I might need to do this but my current decision to have one of my Kallax shelves be my spotlight section will cull so many of my faves unfairly. Also, I love Sierra West too, you’re not alone!
Yeah that's the only bummer you might arrange stuff in such a way that one shelf is just devastating. there were a few in here where you're like "well there goes half my top 10 games of all time..." haha but it's still a fun experiment
Maybe your game will be to pick one shelf per kallax ;)
Abomination always gets dissed.
Yeah it just didn’t sing for us
IKR, such a good game!
On the second shelf, Rajas would have edged out Honey Buzz for me. I love Rajas. Of the ones I haven't played on that shelf, Honey Buzz looks the most interesting. This isn't the only time something that I haven't played would edge out some solid games. A lot of these shelves are just games I've never played. I thought about watching again and playing along with you, but that would have been one long frelling post.
Love this idea! I see that you have stickers on your shelves. How to categorize your shelves? What is written on the stickers?
During our last KS people adopted our shelves and got to name them so they are the shelf names :)
Great video! Glad you picked World’s Fair! Surprise you didn’t picked 7 wonders duo.
I knowwwww but Nick just isn't as big of a fan of 7 Wonders Duel so Mike iz sad now
@@TheBrothersMurph i understand. At least you are not really culling the ones not chosen! 😊 What I really love about this video is a chance to see your very impressive collection! 💕 Glad you chose to keep many of my favorites too!😊
I call fries that are stuck together a "king fry".
I just realized I have my Quacks and Kanban EV on the same shelf. Looks like I need to move one of those to a different shelf.
Ooooooh I like it!
wooo! survived the shelf 😅
Heck yeah!
Great video! Im shocked there's no Nemesis. Is it hiding with Lost Ruins of Arnak on the back shelf?
I think you need a follow up episode where you talk about what might be missing from your collection with those choices? Mechanic? Theme? Player count? Complexity level?... Then talk about a game that could fill that need.
Also, I want to point out that if I did this challenge it would hurt more because my shelves are larger, and almost all my small box games are on one shelf, which would stink!
Haha that's the problem with those small games you stuff so many on one shelf! And love the idea of really trying to round out a collection with filling in "missing" elements. Logging that away for a future video for sure!
@@TheBrothersMurph sweet!
Should have gone kallax - smaller cubes = more shelves = more games kept. Game the system!
galactic-strats
Shill out for Ark Nova! lol cannot wait for the day i get the opportunity to play lol
Nick, your right pant leg at the beginning of the video was confusing me as much as the term "eagle-eyed eagle".
My internal monologue: "Wait, is he wearing shorts? No, he has pants on. But wait, they DO look like shorts! Or is that a big hole in the knee, but only on one leg? It's not much of a tasteful rip in the jeans, it more looks like you took a box cutter to it and made a big slice. It's probably that...... Or, could he be wearing zip offs and only has one leg partially unzipped?!"
We gotta keep you guessing!
@@TheBrothersMurph You're a quarter of the way to having some sweet khaki cut-offs, my guy
bargain quest is great!!
Oh, this is why everyone uses Kallax shelves. Only have to eliminate 2 or 3 games per shelve. My shelf of Hanabi sized games would be a real challenge though, probably 30+ games on that one.
But I also tend to group my Kallax thematically so I'm staring at Cascadia, Meadow, Wingspan and Sonora just dying inside.
@@nickvanee916 That's an easy pick: Meadow. Finding someone who owns Wingspan and Cascadia is super easy.
yeah that shelf would hurt
Oof
@@TheBrothersMurph Just counted and there were 60 games. There is no way I would give up Comic Hunters though. Not sure why I have it on that shelf, I need to reorganize.
Fun challenge. Now the harder challenge...putting everything back. (But I guess you could just watch the video back now.)
There were definitely a few “where does this game come from?” Moments after the video
I’m really upset about Shakespeare you guys got me on to that game and it took me two years to find backstage :)
Hahaha oh no! Well we just played it this weekend and we are reminded of how much we love it
JUstin Beber board game or War of the Ring? if you were forced to choose :). Great video, making me reorganize my shelves.
I think when faced with that decision I'd just retire from gaming completely so I didn't have to break my own heart choosing
So who else reorganized their shelfs after seeing this just to split up your favourite games just in case someone challenged you to do something similair? Of course my collection is nowhere near as big as these guys but still :D
IMO War chest shouldn't have stayed there and you guys should play this this week, it's just amazing !!!
I know we really have to get to that one
Did not think your collection could possibly get any more Euro than it already is 😂. This hurt
Oh yeah we’re all in on the beige I’m afraid
Fun challenge! Though I have my 200+ games on only 12 shelves, so... it would at least be a short list.
But just got Castell (mostly due to your guys' glowing praise), so it would get to stay by default for not yet being on a shelf? Right?
Of course! That game has immunity 100%
If you were really culling games this approach was brutal. I have started culling my collection by using a sports tournament bracket. Take an entire shelf, lets say 32-64 games, then put them in a bracket using bgg rankings. Then choose the game you would rather play for each match up. The first round you discover the games to cull because they are eliminated. Finish the bracket to discover your favorite games.
Daaaaaang that's pretty rad
Still watching but had to laugh at 2:45 (it's called Pingyao btw)
We clearly are good friends for getting right to that game you gave us.
@@TheBrothersMurph lol, to be fair, it is a prototype and the board is in Chinese. It's still totally playable though and it's a weird economic game, so y'all should try it at some point.
Do you think that Feast of Odin will be revisited somewhere soon to get upgraded art or rules?
That’s a great question! I don’t see that happening anytime soon at least on the art front as the game has done quite well for itself but I can absolutely see a day in the future where they do a big box anniversary release where they include all expansions and stuff. Maybe at the 10 year mark?
Love the dog.
Have interest in Tiny townes or power grid.
Love Destines. Want play horrified games.
Parks I love.
Want play first rat
Where did you find that Meepleton shirt? I need it!
A buddy of ours made it :) hoping he sells them one day!
WHAT?! Castell stayed on a shelf.......noooooooo I thought it was a guaranteed pick
I knowwwwwwwww :((((
Destinies twice? Or is it the Base Game, and an expansion?
Base game and expansion
So, I played along. If there was nothing I would take, then I didn't list the shelf and I'm suggesting that you burn everything on it.
2. Sagrada
3. Spirit Island
4. Quest for El Dorado
5. Wingspan
7. Horrified
9. War Chest
10. Telestrations
12. Small World
13. Villainous (or burn it!)
19. Wonderland's War
21. Clank!
22. Scythe
25. Micromacro
26. Unmatched Redemption Row (if it's there)
30. War of the Ring
31. Journeys in Middle Earth
33. Fox in the Forest
36. War of Whispers
39. Tiny Town (or burn!)
41. Search for Planet X
44. Western Legend
45. Quacks
46. My Little Scythe
49. Lanterns
53. The Others
I think that ends up being about half the size of your pile.
Ha! That’s awesome. Love seeing what others would do with our collection
There's something so entertaining about watching you struggle to pick your favourite child...
If you could only pick one shelf out of all of them what would you pick? I also saw a video of you can only keep games that fit on one shelf that was a pretty enjoyable watch
Ooh good question we should choose our best best best shelf!
I love Call to Adventure, sad you didn't pick it..
Yeaaahhhh had to make some tough calls
Love this video, a real sofie’s choice😅
Now, having played Planet X would it make the cut?🧐
definitely would be a contender for staying!
FEED ME SEYMOUR love this!
Why don't you have your Quirky Circuits boxes combined into one?
because we dummmmmmb
How dare you not choose [insert favorite game name here]!!! Worst video ever. 0/10.
Jkjk great video. This was such a fun concept I loved it.
Pandemic because want to play it.
World's fair I like it.
Go with city builder one.
Really the quirky game I just for my kid but interested in crime lab one too.
Not played unmatched yet.
Rawr n write want.
Blue lagoon looks fun.
War ring like to play.
Lord of rings would like also.
Star wars love letter and Railroad ink both sound good to me. Love Railroad ink.
GET MORE SHELVES!!!! 😂 😂 😂
This right here!
I can't do this challenge. If I did, I'd put all the games back in the wrong spots and Missy would get mad at me.
Not gonna lie, we struggled to remember where things were supposed to go...
Quote " why are we doing this to ourselves"?😂
This would be so hard to do
it's rough
curious as to how do you organize your games?
so each of our shelves have been adopted by someone and they got to choose one of the games on the shelf and after that we sort of filled in based on size and efficiency. at times we put games by the same designer together but it's pretty dang random.
How do you rank the West Kingdom series?
th-cam.com/video/DktiQlAGEis/w-d-xo.html blam there ya go
6:35: "S" Tier shelf...is that a nod to Solo Leveling???
Unintentionally maybe!
Where’s the clank catacombs impressions or review? :-)
Don't have it yet :(((((
I have 16 kallax squares and over 80 games. This would be a hard one for me
Oof that's rough
Where did you guys get these selves from? Are they the IKEA Billy shelves?
Yes they indeed are
the look when Clank is not chosen ... so sad..
Womp Womp some heartbreakers happened for sure
Fun video. Wait till you play The Search for Planet X. 😂
We finally did! literally later the same day we made this video. It's AWESOME!
@@TheBrothersMurph it’s probably my favorite deduction game. And it has staying power. We pull it out every couple months and everyone mentions how great it is. We like that you can adjust the difficulty rating which makes it nice to introduce beginners. I do not think it got the buzz it deserves. Looking forward to your review/play through.
okay so that means you will sell me Shakespeare right? RIGHTT? RIGHHHHHHHHTTTT?
great choice on Dead Reckoning, but right after that you picked Teotihuacan over Western Legends, big mistake partners.
Well looks like we’re gonna have to meet at high noon to duel it out over that one partner
Here’s the thing. Haha.
Y'all try War Chest yet?!
Yes indeed Mike actually just tried it this past week! Really interesting game
With a collection that's being culled hardcore to keep it's size - it hurts when you skip over one I own :) But also surprisingly many of mine are being chosen. Gotta drop by for a game sometime :D
PS: Not picking Forgotten Waters is a crime and you're both going to bg jail!
Does bg jail at least have board games to play? Even just a deck of cards. YA GOTTA GIVE US SOMETHING IN THERE!
@@TheBrothersMurph They have Monopoly McDonald's edition with half the houses missing and too little money.
I had a hard time watching you pass on circadians first light
We had to make so many tough decisions
I built my own shelves. I decided to make 3 floating shelves 12 foot long each. I would only have 3 games left if I did this.
Oh no!
As someone who lives local to Stratford ON, I am all for you keeping Justin Bieber! LOL
yaaaassssss
Cora quest and library game. Lol. Waiting on CoraQuest to come.
Flipships want to play so bad.
Quaoropolis want to get.
Laterns like to play.
Adventure land want to get and Return to Dark Tower.
Want get Japan art game. Write name might spell it wrong.
Planet looks fun.
Love Cartographers alot. Like crew lil but need figure out still.
Lord rings exit game sounds fun. Laterns games like to play.
Legendary like try it out.
Viva la Klask!
What was the game that won over the 7 Wonders Duel?
It's a game called Project L
@@TheBrothersMurph Oh thanks so much! Just looked it up and found it in my local board game shop (only 3 left) looks very interesting (and 7 wonders duel is our favorite game...we'lll see). Thanks again and this was such a good video, you two vere torn apart like choosing favorite kid.
No D&D?!?! Clearly I failed you, lol.
That was a rough one! like dang there that went I guess
@@TheBrothersMurph 🤣
How many shelves do you have in total?
56
Draftasours I love. Honey buzz does look fun.
Forgotten waters want so bad. Do like ticket ride games.
Empires north interested in. Love Wingspan. Just got isle of cats.
Rhino Hero is great. Want horrified and calico.
Marvel United rocks.
What about the games you didnt pick? What is gonna happen to them?
Incineration
How many games do you even own? The games you would keep are still way more than my entire collection... (to be fair I'm just getting started)
We have around 300 I think in total? IDK too many probably haha
Haha if I did this I would have less than 10 games total. Out of about 80.
That'd be brutal
King Dimono origins want to play and terracotta Army.
Wreak Raiders want get soon. Interested in underwater cities.
Space base want to play.
Codenames duet love.
I had that 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea game when I was a kid. Got it at a garage sale I think...it wasn't new. The game came out in 1975, I think we got it in the early to mid 1980's. It didn't make it out of my childhood...the board didn't at least. I think I still have the spinner top (that yellow thing) and the little Nautilus boats in the bottom of some toy boxes someplace. Can't believe you have that game on your shelf! Call me impressed.
shouts out to some collector keeping the game nice all these years so I could snag it! The little pieces in that game and the spinner are honestly super cool still!
