      My wife is 4' 11", so she is the small box banger in our relationship.

    Nice list. Knarr is my favourite new small box game. Great, quick, viking themed engine builder with awesome art

      I love knarr. Got it same time as vaalbara. Only issue I have is they should have made 4 tracks on the board for tracking reputation. Oh and the colour choices while fitting are fucking stupid.
      Both form over function.

    I am very grateful for videos like this. Quick, punchy reviews of games that aren't in the hotness and pique my interest. Finally decided to subscribe.
    I have played a couple of games of Faraway and really liked it. Both games went very differently which makes for great replayability. Love that you can go for a high risk, big score or play a for a more reliable score. Good mix of strategy and tactics, with little downtime which gives you a lot of game in a small box. The game has a South American theme, but seems to be set in some mythical world.
    EDIT: FFS, right now only Faraway is available in Australia. Castle Combo is likely to arrive soon, but no word on 2022's Vaalbara or the very recent Kronologic series.

    Love Vaalbara's art!
    Love smallbox games for bring-it-anytime practicality and environmental friendliness reasons.
    I also love Dragon's Hoard, and humbly recommend the fun The Mind and Hanabi and the little bit thinky Fallen Angels for those who like co-op games; other than those, Biblios! Sunset over Water is sweet for those who like a relaxed game and can even be played solo; on the other hand, Fluxx is zany but still good😂
    I tried Flip City but too math-y for my brain😢 and I believe each of Dominion series (which is nice) could be a smallbox game.
    Would like to try Megaland sometime!
    Hope some of these titles could be good recommendation for BG Bollocks people everywhere.

    I bought Vaalbara some time ago, mainly because it looked decent and I needed something to add to my order to get free shipping😂 Well, turned out its a excellent little game. For us it felt like a "Libertalia light". It scratches a similar itch, yet its shorter, simpler, but nonetheless very entertaining.

    Splendor duel, colossus (French solo game damn near impossible to find), Macaron (trick taking betting game), surfasaurus max, thief’s market, air land and sea, elawa, oh my goods….
    Haha I couldn’t pick 4.
    Honorable mention is flickfleet - damn good dext space game from uk

    I don't know if you always have said, "We don't do unboxings" but I love that you don't. I don't get unboxings. I don't understand why anyone wants to watch anyone else unbox a game. If you backed it or plan to buy it, wouldn't you prefer to experience that for the first time? Do these people like all their movies spoiled? Are content creators desperate for content? I'll never understand that and I appreciate that you don't do them. Out of principle.
