If you do record a solo playthrough and have any questions about it, please tag me (I'm one of the co-designers of it). Have fun with this gorgeous new edition.
New subscriber here and YES I'm all in for this game. CoB was the 2nd game I played when I joined my game group a decade ago. It has and will be in my top 10 for a long time.
i've never played this game, but have heard so many great things about it, that I ended up backing it. I only got the special addition, but part of me regrets not getting the special tiles, acrylic and/or terrain. Hopefully they'll be available for purchase as standalone in the future
Backed and looking forward to getting it along with all the bells and whistles, here in New Zealand. So impressed you managed to hold off opening it for so long!
Great unboxing vid. I do like the side camera. Totally agree you need another light. In fact, you need two to three times as much light as you currently have. The lighting in all your vids is a bit muted.
In general I do wish this video had more light. I agree. I think I had my camera on a weird setting and I do apologize. The re-boxing later this week will be better, I promise! 😊
Hi Jenna I would love to see an organization video. I can't see how everything would fit into one box. If you have extra time, a solo play through would also be awesome. Take care
Hi Jenna, what a coincidence.. Last night I watch the playthrough of the prototype of Castles of Burgundy, that you and Francis played and was on your other youtube channel. And here you are with the updated and final edition. Excited to get my hands on my own copy, also here in Canada (across Lake Ontario).I really like those acrylic components and 3d tokens. I didnt back the ultimate box, and seeing the final product makes me reconsider my earlier thought, but it is what it is. Have fun playing this special edition and please share your thoughts on this channel.
Did not back in time. Did pick it up from Game Steward. Unfortunately they'll ship till the end of Q3 😢 Loved seeing your smile and excitment as you opened, it IS my favorite game, cannot wait to get it.
I've watched several unboxing, they are all pretty similar. A reboxing/organizing would be way more interesting. Seeing different priorities, styles, & ideas is very enjoyable.
I believe the base game was about $140 CAD. All in pledge was about $400 CAD. Quite pricey but worth it if you really enjoy The Castles Of Burgundy and deluxe board game components! 😊
I don't know if it's just your camera but if you watch other unboxings the blue dice look grey, if you look at other unboxings the dice are really blue.
Just curious, what is considered the “stretch goals”? Is that only what’s in the standard box? (Metal coins etc) or would stretch goals be the acrylic tiles?
I don't know, but I would like to paint those minies (castles, cows, ships...). I think it would be nice (especially if not trying to make every copy identical to each others, but make slightly variations). Anyway, I must confess that I never heard before of The Castles of Burgundy... and it is even more confusing, that by searching I can find 20th anniversary edition of the game. I probably will look more about it, and may buy it later in this year. (And who knows, maybe the minies for it, so that I can paint them?).
I don't think it is! It is definitely not as long but might be slightly taller. It's probably closer to Gloomhaven than Everdell Complete Collection. 😊👍🏻
Gosh, the production of this edition is sooooooo good!! The Castles of Burgundy is also one of my favorite games so I'd love to upgrade it to this version, but definitely struggling with the price point 😥 maybe someday! Great unboxing video!!
I'm going to say the same thing here that I said over on your reboxing video...if you're going to do two cameras, make one of them a close-up camera so that viewers can see the detail of components that you keep holding up to show us!!! Currently, when you hold something up for the camera to show close-up detail all we see is a blurry blob. Have you ever thought about recording an example and then watching it yourself to see how good or bad it looks before publishing something on TH-cam?!?! Also, your lighting is horrible!
In general I do wish this video had more light. I agree. I think I had my camera on a weird setting and I do apologize. The re-boxing later this week will be better, I promise! 😊
I would love to see an organization and re-boxing video. Those are so relaxing to watch :)
Coming later this week! 👏🏻

Awh! Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! Can't wait to play. 😊
I'm anxiously waiting for my huge box to show up on the doorstep! and YES Jenna - would love to see a solo playthrough :)
New subscriber here and YES I'm all in for this game. CoB was the 2nd game I played when I joined my game group a decade ago. It has and will be in my top 10 for a long time.
Yes, please do organizing back into box video. Hoping it all fits in one box.
I would love a video on how to organize the box! Would save me a lot of time when mine arrives
Yes! I definitely want an organization video, if you have the time.
Absolutely! 🥰👏🏻
Can't wait for my copy to arrive! Yes please for a solo playthrough.

Great job Jenna! I would like to see an organization video and I liked the side camera, but agree a little extra light would be useful.
i like that Alea usuall goves refresher notrs in the rule book, glad Awaken Realms dod that too
Looking forward to receiving my copy. I just got the classic edition and added on the acrylic hex tiles.
First! Waiting for my copy 😊😊😊
Also would love to see a reboxing - looks like some creativity/compromises to get the acrylics to fit.
Great unboxing thanks so much great job as always 😊
Would love to see a reorg video. For new game owners, and especially games with e tensions, this helps a whole lot with organization.
Hi Jenna
I would love to see an organization video. I can't see how everything would fit into one box.
If you have extra time, a solo play through would also be awesome.
Take care
Ordered it can’t wait!!!
I like the different angles
Solo play through would be so good to do😊
I cannot wait to get mine in. I ordered the acrylic tiles, but nit the minis, so will only get the 3d Castles 😊
Looks like everyone will receive the paper tokens in their main box, even if they choose the acrylic ones. That would be nice
Can’t wait for my copy!!!😮😊
Can't wait to receive my copy!!! =)
I'm so hoping Awaken Realms have some of these available to purchase at the various conventions this summer.

23:56 That sound! Oh the horror!
We'd like see a organize reboxing video too
Backed the 2nd print. For everything except the terrain acrylics, too much work for those ;)
Will you do a play through video with this edition?😮
hi thank you for this good videos .HOw much is this special edition ? i never play this game and yes want to see a solo :)
I believe the base game was about $140 CAD. All in pledge was about $400 CAD. Quite pricey but worth it if you really enjoy The Castles Of Burgundy and deluxe board game components! 😊
@@TheBoardGameGarden OUF ! ok thank you :)
I don't know if it's just your camera but if you watch other unboxings the blue dice look grey, if you look at other unboxings the dice are really blue.
Kinda wish they didn't print what it is right on the box. It's gonna show up while I'm at work and everyone will know that I'm a mega nerd 😭
Should have backed this! Now to wait for retail.
Sadly I don't think it will be coming to retail. I could be wrong though!
@@TheBoardGameGardenYou're right. Oh well :(

Very cool, I would love to see a solo play
Is the box bigger than the Everdell complete collection box? Or is it Gloomhaven size? Funny how Gloomhaven isn’t the biggest game box anymore.😂
I don't think it is! It is definitely not as long but might be slightly taller. It's probably closer to Gloomhaven than Everdell Complete Collection. 😊👍🏻
Solo playthrogh please!
I'd prefer top down!
Good to know! Thank you! 😊
This video needs to come with a FOMO warning tag for the sad people (read: me) who neglected to back this ;)
I am so so sorry! I hope you will have the opportunity to play it at some point! 😊
Backed it with everything except the 3D terrain pieces, could not justify the extra $200ish Canadian.
Playable at Level Up Retreat?
I'm sure someone will bring a copy! 😊
