I am genuinely shocked to hear that you would be recieving abusive comentary. You guys are wonderful and on many many occasions you've made me laugh until I have tears streaming down my face. I cannot imagine that any of your videos would actually upset anyone enough to then go to the lengths of actually publicly lashing out at you on your own channel - in writing. What is wrong with people? Anyway, I love you both and I wish you (and all of your beautiful pets) a fantastic festive season xx Thanks for all the hard work you do
- I think y’all have discovered a new series! The fans demand one of these a month. It’s just so hilarious to see how mad people get. I absolutely agree with “ I don’t understand people sometimes” - “dumb baby game” is straight up hilarious and should be part of our common vernacular - I do have to agree with the honey buzz take though. Such great production and I just can’t get behind the gameplay. It has been collecting dust since my first play and breaks my heart. - and that Res review was ridiculous lol but DRAFT VARIANT IS KING
We love your channel! It’s always a family affair to watch. I think it would make your fans/community mad at the negative comments. Don’t give the haters another thought
Reading negative comments are one of my favourite videos :) imo laughing at it neutralise them a bit! Taking screenshots is a good plan :) Maybe do "Reading Good Reviews of Our Least Favourite Board Games" :)
Wonderland’s War does have some fiddly rules around madness and busting. It took us a few plays to get them down, but the flowchart covers everything nicely. As far as setup goes, it’s a game that you prep when you put it away. Tokens go in a tray, and Wonderlandians only set up when needed. Otherwise it is a lot. So it must have been their first play because it’s such a great game.
Sometimes I wonder if people even like board games with the things they say in these reviews. There are plenty of games that are not to my taste, but I can usually see good things in them and understand why they can be someone's favourite game. Dumb little baby game is hilarious as I often joke about games being this, when I pull out a lighter game to teach. This video format was very fun. And the games you picked made even better, seeing your reactions. As for a video about negative comments, I can't fathom why people would want to post negative comments. And I don't even know what people would say on your videos. You are always positive and just having fun with board games, what is there to say, KAY?
Love this! Such a unique topic idea and ya’ll are so interesting! Love all the unique board game topics you guys come up with, I have so much fun listening.
The outrage of the reviewers coupled with your reactions made this video HILARIOUS. More, please! I'm reminded of that series online where celebrities would read mean comments people had tweeted about them. Some of them were very funny.
I absolutely love GAH-it's a 10/10 game for me and easily in my top 10. But I have to agree that with 4 players, especially if you're using the original snake turn order, it can drag since a single die can lead to so many other actions. That said, I think I'll forever refer to it as a 'dumb baby game' now 😂. Great video!
Fun video! I need to try Final Girl. I hope that in some way/shape/form it reaches my country some day I would totally add that to my collection. The fact that Jeff knew the second Jamie started talking about Red Arcana made me lol 🤣
How about doing a positive player review then a negative review guess. I also have to mention great job on the blurry game with the question mark. That was so much fun trying to guess the game. Love your content and looking forward to see you at Pax unplugged.
*giggles* Okay, the absolute WIN is how offended Jamie got about Final Girl. (And Jeff's reaction to her utter disgust with that review.) These were pretty funny. Enjoyed this video! And nope, zero interest in the idiotic comments from haters for you guys.
This was so fricken funny and awesome. You two make me laugh, your responses are absolute gold. 😂 People are so ridiculous. I strongly dislike Final Girl, sorry Jamie, and I predominately play solo. But I still would rate it a 8, and say it’s a very solid game. I just suck at dice rolling so getting whomped every game, kind of sucked for me haha. Please do that video for Patreon. I would love to see the dumb stuff people have to say about you two.
4:52 "that person might not play many games"... Maybe, but would someone who doesn't play many games be using terms like "overproduced" and "table hog"?? Me thinks not! (but good on you as always for giving them the benefit of the doubt ✌️)
BGG reviews really hit the two extremes: People who take is seriously and so very detailed reviews, and ignorant people who just write drivel like "dumb baby game" that has no value. Wish BGG would move to a Steam format of thumbs up or thumbs down, and show both historical results and current results, as it helps identify review bombing or improvements in a game.
I have heard people say they won’t play Grand Austria Hotel with more than two because of the down time of it being a snake draft. If you are first or 4th in the draft you have 6 Draft turns in between your picks when not picking twice in a row. Ive never played so I can’t comment for myself.
Sometimes bad reviews are the best. Like for romance novels when a reader is super offended about open-door you-know-what scenes. I had a one star review by an offended reader who didn’t like that the hero self-pleasured in a scene. Yeah, because *that’s* such a rare event!
I used to own Grand Austria Hotel and I liked it but got tired of constantly referencing thr rulebook to figure out what the hell the various cards did and that alone pushed me to put it on the chopping block. Now do I frequently look at copies of it on BGG? Sure... perhaps I shall own again one day. Not quite the dumb baby game it was labeled as lol.
That is a legit complaint. The original reference wasn't even in alphabetical order and in a weird illegible font. There are great fan made references on BGG that are essential to print if you ever pick it up again.
I had fun playing along trying to guess the game by the blurred out box covers. Some were easy, some not so much. Knew Final Girl immediately and was just waiting to see Jamie's outrage. 😂
Oooh this is a fun video idea, I love reading 1 star reviews on BGG ! There's a game I personally despise and I cry-laughed when I read some of the reviews, anyone wanna guess what it is? 1. "I had a growing fear that I was stuck in a sort of time loop of which I couldn't escape, and I would be stuck in a purgatory in which I would be forever damned to play *** ." 2. "Boring antiquity for nolstagic gamers that miss the old days." 3. "Misery Farm."
I was wondering if Res Arcana woukd be on here. My bad review of it would be why would I play it when I could Empires of the North or Everdell and play a better game
I’m very surprised, and yet not, on the Distilled review as I can see where someone might derive each of those comments but I think they work together into a great gateway thematic game. The KS overproduced statement is inaccurate. The wording I would use is overinflated as the shot glasses, coasters and other drinking paraphernalia should’ve been Add-Ons since they are useless to the gameplay.
Not to nitpick but I've seen you criticize high play counts for Grand Austria Hotel in previous videos -- And rightfully so! The game can already be prone to AP. It definitely shines at two players.
i dont care what people say Honey buzz is so good !!! i even backed the expansion Honey buzz fall flavours.. and i cant be more happy. and Calico ugly ? what HAHAHA
I understand if the issue is a person makes an unnecessarily mean comment, but many of the reviews that were read simply sounded like an opinion. I would think that a forum dedicated to a hobby that literally sees hundreds of new games a year, would show a bit more understanding towards others who do not share your opinion.
Hey! This video is just for fun, we disagree with their opinions in the same way they would clearly disagree with ours and that’s okay - that’s the whole point!
@FostertheMeeple I respect that, but in my opinion the difference is the reviews you read were from people speaking about a game, not another person's opinion. I apologize if I sound harsh as that is truly not my intent. I certainly recognize the positive impact you both have and I commend you for bringing joy to others. If it matters at all, my opinion is motivated by the fact that I often feel many games, especially those released in the past few years, are overly hyped or presented in a way that does not always provide an honest representation of the game due to other mitigating factors. But again, that is just my opinion.
I am genuinely shocked to hear that you would be recieving abusive comentary. You guys are wonderful and on many many occasions you've made me laugh until I have tears streaming down my face. I cannot imagine that any of your videos would actually upset anyone enough to then go to the lengths of actually publicly lashing out at you on your own channel - in writing. What is wrong with people? Anyway, I love you both and I wish you (and all of your beautiful pets) a fantastic festive season xx Thanks for all the hard work you do
Haha we appreciate you! I wish I could say you’re right and people don’t get upset by our videos. But I would be lying. The internet is a tough place.
This video was hilarious. My favorite Jeff quote, "How smart is your baby?" 😂
your baby is dumb lol
"Here, have a box of toys, kid."
- *Me Giving my child all the Final Girl Meeples*
Your videos and just y'all's personality brings me so much joy! I also love the light hearted of this video and how much laughter it brought! ❤❤
Wish I could like videos twice. Already love it and I'm like 1min in. Great idea for a video!
Great idea, very entertaining and even overly negative bad reviews from people who didn't understand the game can sometimes be informative somehow..
- I think y’all have discovered a new series! The fans demand one of these a month. It’s just so hilarious to see how mad people get. I absolutely agree with “ I don’t understand people sometimes”
- “dumb baby game” is straight up hilarious and should be part of our common vernacular

- and that Res review was ridiculous lol but DRAFT VARIANT IS KING
I have been thinking about add Honey Buzz to my collection because of the solo play. After reading your comment I may be rethinking it.
@ TBF I haven’t played it solo! Nor have I played the expansion. Maybe check out a gameplay video first :)
We love your channel! It’s always a family affair to watch. I think it would make your fans/community mad at the negative comments. Don’t give the haters another thought
Jamie's offended face after every reveal is simply amazing. You guys are so fun!
I think this is a great way to introduce new games to people and address some of the negative comments at the same time.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was such a fun video! Looking forward to seeing y'all at PaxU!!
Reading negative comments are one of my favourite videos :) imo laughing at it neutralise them a bit! Taking screenshots is a good plan :)
Maybe do "Reading Good Reviews of Our Least Favourite Board Games" :)
I like this idea about reading good reviews of the games you don't like!
Wonderland’s War does have some fiddly rules around madness and busting. It took us a few plays to get them down, but the flowchart covers everything nicely.

So it must have been their first play because it’s such a great game.
This video had me cracking up. Thoroughly enjoyed it ❤
More of these please! This was a fun watch and you guys seemed to enjoy making it
We had a blast!

“Dumb baby game” is my group’s “in joke” that basically means “I lost my first play and I am
Slightly incredulous and salty about it.”
@@fwj777 this is the way
This was hilarious and entertaining. More of these please 🙏
You had so much fun shooting this video. Wonderful vid.
The outrage of the reviewers coupled with your reactions made this video HILARIOUS. More, please! I'm reminded of that series online where celebrities would read mean comments people had tweeted about them. Some of them were very funny.
I loved this video! I laughed so hard at your reactions.
Fun video. Thanks for the blurry covers, that helps with guessing.
Best part are your reactions to hearing the name of the game 😂❤ loved it! Great time!
I absolutely love GAH-it's a 10/10 game for me and easily in my top 10.

This is a hilarious video! Thanks for giving me a mental break from the chaos world🥰
Loved this type of video. I’d enjoy a part two or even making it a series.
We just might!
Fun video! I need to try Final Girl. I hope that in some way/shape/form it reaches my country some day I would totally add that to my collection. The fact that Jeff knew the second Jamie started talking about Red Arcana made me lol 🤣
I hope you get to try it too!!
This was super entertaining! You guys are great
Have you played GAH at 4?
The snake draft takes FOREVER! so much so that they had to introduce a variant where you don't snake.
This was such a great video and concept.
Thank you!!!

-Now I want to see the video of the idea you got from _Shadows._ 😬
-The delivery of "Kickstarter _obviously"_ killed me.
“Dumb baby game” 😂😂😂 that was so fun! I would definitely watch series on this!!
This was so fricken funny and awesome. You two make me laugh, your responses are absolute gold. 😂 People are so ridiculous.

Just watching Jamie's reaction when the game is revealed is priceless! Yours are, too, Jeff. But I'm used to yours!

Laughed so hard at Res Arcana LOL - and Jeff guessing so fast :D
Fun game guys. Always love participating/playing along. I'd suggest not just fogging out the cover, I was able to guess all through the blur. 😊😊😊
Madness. Res Arcana has genuinely great card art!
I have heard people say they won’t play Grand Austria Hotel with more than two because of the down time of it being a snake draft. If you are first or 4th in the draft you have 6 Draft turns in between your picks when not picking twice in a row.
Ive never played so I can’t comment for myself.
fantastic video idea! this was fun
Thanks for watching!
This was a great idea. Please do it again.

Who would complain about COSMIC FROG?!?!
Entertaining for sure!! I am really looking at getting Rez Arcana Duo. Any chance you are going to try?
More than likely yes!!

@@RichieTrnr Oh! Was that fixed in the new edition? Thanks for the feedback!
My favorite negative review of one of my games called it "bland and toothless."
Maybe they meant Toothless from how to train your Dragon? He was pretty cool.
I had fun playing along trying to guess the game by the blurred out box covers. Some were easy, some not so much. Knew Final Girl immediately and was just waiting to see Jamie's outrage. 😂
3:50 Wonderland’s War!!!!
Paetron. We don’t need to give those negative review clowns more screen time.
Dumb baby game had me in stitches 😂😂😂
Same!!
Oooh this is a fun video idea, I love reading 1 star reviews on BGG ! There's a game I personally despise and I cry-laughed when I read some of the reviews, anyone wanna guess what it is?
1. "I had a growing fear that I was stuck in a sort of time loop of which I couldn't escape, and I would be stuck in a purgatory in which I would be forever damned to play *** ."
2. "Boring antiquity for nolstagic gamers that miss the old days."
3. "Misery Farm."
The highlight of the video is at 00:06:48
Jaimie: "I don't know why I'm looking around here"
Jeff: *looks away* "👀👀👀👀"
"Dumb baby game" BWWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. i'm so using that as soon as i possibly can
Sad to hear people leave mean comments, but I did enjoy the review version of this video.
I love this idea : )
“You probably played it wrong!” 😂
We are very qualified to say that too because we often play games wrong! haha
RoasT! Roast! Roast!
And Wonderland's War is fantastic, but I do wish it was shorter, but all the other negatives mentioned are pretty silly.
You guys clearly had fun with this video.
So much fun! Haha
How smart is your baby?! 😂😂😂
hey this is such a fun topic! i also do that a lot haha
I was wondering if Res Arcana woukd be on here. My bad review of it would be why would I play it when I could Empires of the North or Everdell and play a better game
@@foodpoisoning2 I mean. You do you boo-boo
@FostertheMeeple That Cubitos review was straight wrong though. Cubitos is a top 5 game, so I agree with you there 🤷♂️😂
I’m very surprised, and yet not, on the Distilled review as I can see where someone might derive each of those comments but I think they work together into a great gateway thematic game. The KS overproduced statement is inaccurate.

Picker of nits
Hahah Reading mean comments would make me sad.
i dont care what people say Honey buzz is so good !!! i even backed the expansion Honey buzz fall flavours.. and i cant be more happy.

Honey Buzz Fall Flavours is amazing!!!!!
