  • Mmmm jam, lovely stuff isn't it? But what if it was filled with words? Well this video might not answer that question but it'll sure as hell talk about Letter Jam, a new cooperative word guessing game from Czech Games Editions.

    Hello, it's local idiot-brain Michael Whelan here. This got posted a whole day earlier than it was supposed to! So enjoy your early video and please forgive the lack of one tomorrow. We'll be back on Thursday x

      @@mpbMKE They payed it tomorrow. When you reach certain level of board gamer you can bend time, that's how good DM's get to cram a character walking 30 feet, 3 oportunity attacks, one instant action and a full blown attack in a 6 seconds turn.

    Well, if you want a Word game with an actual theme, how about Unspeakable Words? A game where you play as a cultist, playing a word game dedicated to Cthulhu.

    Hey guys been loving the channel so far! I think the different type of content is brilliant and love the inception of Today We Played! I don't know if you take suggestions for lists but I was wondering if you could do one like "X games perfect for bringing to the pub" - loads of pubs I go to have a small selection of games which is great but would love some new suggestions from you guys! All the best Conor

    Nice review and like that you try or play lots of different games so I can see how its played and maybe find a new game to add to my collection.

    Hi Guys. I'm wondering if there are plans to do videos of some games being played, similar to Johnny's D&D sessions with the OXBox crew. I enjoy seeing the interactions and banter during the games. Plus, watching actual gameplay would help viewers who learn more by doing/watching (like me) to better understand how the games really work. As you said, "We'll play one round, you'll know exactly what you're doing."

    • @arron.barnett
      @arron.barnett 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah they have a few lets plays and that, but I think you sometimes get a better feel for stuff when there's a bit more of a group rather than just the two of them.

    I realise there's a strawberry on the box, but given it's collaborative and no-one knows exactly what the end result will be due to all anagrams being valid, it feels like the correct metaphor is the musical jam.
    Good to know about a different and interesting seeming word game.

    I bet it would be incredibly difficult to play a word game in a second language, but the leniency in the rules about not having to spell the word you were given as long as you spell an English word you know seems to be made to include those who don't have as great a grasp on English, whether that be someone learning the language or a younger kid playing to help with spelling. Really cool game for the learning tools actually.

    I think I would appreciate a monthly, maybe quarterly summary of the games you have added into your rotations or the ones you have maybe stopped playing, to see about the longevity of the games you have reviewed. Maybe just a feature in a regular board game news vid or similar.

    • @SgtSupaman
      @SgtSupaman 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jam and jelly are both in the US, and they are slightly different things. Here's a quote from HowStuffWorks explaining the difference:
      "In jelly, the fruit comes in the form of fruit juice. Jelly has the smoothest consistency and is usually clear.
      In jam, the fruit comes in the form of fruit pulp or crushed fruit. This makes jam less stiff than jelly."
