I love this channel so much. There’s nothing like watching Jeff attempt to cling to sanity in a wide range of different hats.
Hahah glad you’re enjoying the content Andrew!
Watching Jeff use logic as an argument against Jamie and continually get frustrated is hilarious. Hahahaha. Rookie husband move. #TeamJeff
Haha I’ll never give up
Poor Jeff. Jaime was extra savage today. Lol
She’s getting more confident in her shenanigans
I got so excited at the beginning of the announcement as I’m only an hour away from you guys in Halifax and I was like I’M THERE!! I have only played a game online ONCE. Kingdom Builder, I lost soooo badly…
I think I will follow suit and invite some people over on that day!
Yes please do!!!
HUUUUGE Announcement! So excited to tune on the 4th! As someone who joined the AYCB crew for their 24-game-a-thon my best tip would be to drink a lot of water throughout and eat GOOD FOOD. Minimize the junk and you'll CRUISE through it! Looking forward to it :).
Also ,I love me some Anomia AND Codenames.... come at me Jeff
Hahaha if we are ever in the same spot, we will duke it out
This was a blast, laughing the whole video. I've been binging your videos and love your content! I need to get a gaming group going...
Thanks so much! Glad you’ve been enjoying the content!
A feast for Odin-Amazing
Bloodrage-Good
Western Legends - neutral
Codenames - bad
Anomia- unplayed
Sounds like where I'm at. But Anomia also sounds boring to me.
Lol Jamie okurrr!! So excited about the Game-a-thon! I need to play "Welcome to"...its just sitting there on my shelf desperate for love! ---- I've only played "Codenames: Duet" from your list and I like it! But...on the other hand, I wouldn't be heart broken if we had to get rid of it.🤷♀
I would love to participate in Game-a-thon!
Shoot Jamie a DM!
Always love the banter. Life's too short and there are too many games to "force" yourself to repeatedly play a game you dislike. I say twice at most and three times, if for review.
Haha we also love the banter!!
Enjoyed this vid! Fun to see some people who don’t like the super complex top games that everyone holds in such high esteem.
Jeezy Creezy, this got tense. I thought the big announcement was that you were never going to talk to each other again! 😱
We build it up for the audience ;)
You mean everything I see on the internet isn't the God's honest truth?
This channel is goated, your content is always hilarious. Love the ‘little bit extra’ you add too. Keep the content coming!
Thanks Tom! We try to get better little by little! Thanks for the kindness and the support!
Jenna and I are with Jeff on Codenames. We played it a few times and it didn’t click with us. We gave our copy away lol
You get it Francis
100% agree with Jeff on Codenames. It has its place - my sis used to play it with her kids for vocabulary lessons - but it is no party game.
It sounds like I need to sit you two down in a Board Game Cafe and do some game counseling!!
Haha you will just be part of the arguments ;)
Awesome job guys! Love the back and forth.
Thanks Nick!
I’m with you, Jamie, re Codenames and Duet is the best of all the versions. Let me know if you ever want to pay virtually! It’s thinky and one can be so clever.
You guys are so much fun to watch ❤
Thanks so much!!!
Love the hair Jamie! Thanks for keeping the content flowing 😍
She said thank you!
I love the raw rage Jamie has at times and yet won't let you speak Jeff, absolute classic!
Typical Jamie amirite?
#TeamJeff all the way. What a great video. That is the most I have ever laughed watching the two of you banter. I had to pause the Feast for Odin part because I was laughing so hard and did not want to miss anything, lol. Such a fun time!
That’s what it’s all about!! Happy we could produce some laughs!
Codenames Duet is our most played game! I can see where you end up with a bunch of unrelated words and can only knock off one at a time. I have Feast for Odin, but haven't opened it yet. Intimidating!
It’s not!! It’s actually pretty star right forward once you play a game or two!
Hahah never change! The most genuine and real board gamey people/ channel around!
Thanks Ty! We certainly are ourselves on camera haha
Loving these videos! You too crack me up. can't wait for the game-o-tron.
Thank you!! Hope to see what you get up to!
Codenames is an excellent party game, I also have Codename Disney, which is a huge hit. Also, March 4, we have a game night at our house once a month, which is on that night. How I do anything with that? I don't know. Stream your game-a-thon at our party? Maybe....
I love the dynamic between these two!
Really appreciate that! We do too ;)
@@FostertheMeeple my wife stopped playing competitive boardgames with me because she didn't like the anxiety and fighty stress and arguments that were EXACTLY LIKE THIS. lol.
@@jamesabele we don’t really have stress though. It’s just in jest.
"Who's h'orse is t'hat?" ...ahhh always love the rando tt sounds lol
Haha Jamie loves them too
Loving Jamie's new hair! I look forward to tuning in on March 4th!
She said thank you!!
Great hair! Fun video! Thanks!
I love when Jamie dyes her hair and doesn't even mention it. lol Also: 100% agree with Jeff-O-tron on Codenames, one of the only games I've culled because it does get bland after a few plays imho. And I think with A Feast for Odin, this is a similar issue I encountered recently trying to introduce Meadow to people and not doing a thorough enough teach of it. It's hard when you love a game so much, but if people are confused it becomes not fun for them and it's really hard not to be defensive of the game you love. I went to great pains to handhold Rich through Castles of Burgundy because I wanted him to like it so badly--and I succeeded! At the expense of my own strategy, though. But it's a sacrifice you have to be willing to make sometimes to offer peeps some training wheels on heavier games sometimes.
Really good points here. I think games like AFFO also struggle with players getting trounced. I think the teacher needs to be VERY careful during the play and not run away with it. Maybe try a different strategy or play sub-optimally as to not deter new players from wanting to play again
@@FostertheMeeple It's hard with a game like that, for sure. I really hope you can convince her to try it again, because I think she would like it, but I might suggest one of the "cookie-cutter" strategies to her, just to give her a little more direction. I can understand her feeling like it was less of a sandbox and more like quicksand. lol
Looking forward to the marathon! Really fun idea 😊
Hope you can participate somehow!
24-hour stream sounds like a blast! Make sure you nap beforehand, o-kurr!
Naps are key always
My question, who gets to sleep in the game room???
Haha whoever wants to!
😂😂I was meaning after all the arguing 😂😂
I’m only a second in but I have to stop and comment on the hair!!! It’s awesome!! 😍
She said thank you!
Don't like Blood Rage or A Feast for Odin? Boggles my mind... xD Love both. I'm on the strong opinion that it's not that complex of a game, while there's a lot of choices, essentially you have a few obvious choices each turn.
Really enjoying the content from this channel. Look forward to the next video! 😊
Thanks so much Angel!
Anomia has a special place at the bottom of a pile. Would love to never have to play it again, but we own it...
I FEEL THIS ENERGY!
I hate games that induce anxiety. Timers, quick reactions. I was so excited when Myst got released a billion years ago. Just wander around an look at stuff. Nobody's chasing you. No earth-explodes-in-5-minutes. It's a personality thing. Totally agree with Jeff.
But I do love Codenames Duet. Wife? Not so much.
Yea I feel that Kevin!
Let’s get ready to RUMBLE!!!!!
Hahaha we should add that in
The first time I saw the blood rage box, I thought the viking was a giant ant. No idea why my brain saw that, but now I can't unsee it and it makes it hard for me to want to play this game 🤣 no logic to this, just my weird brain
Hahah I can see it!!
our friend just got CodeNames Quebec and so far we like it as one of our openers to game nights: it's quick , simple and just sets the table for bigger more interesting games.. however I wonder how much language (French vs English) makes a difference in this game. For reference, I believe Cards Against Humanity is A LOT funnier than L'Osti d'Jeu (same concept) because the way sentences are built makes it a lot easier to play in english..
cheers from Quebec!
Thanks for the insights Mathieu! I didn’t even know there was a codenames Quebec!
With no sand!
Love the game a thom idea! I’ll play Codenames with Doolin😂
You should!!
Jamie you need to make sure Jeff is awake for all 24 hrs WE MUST KEEP HIS EYES OPEN ON GAME DAY 👀
It’s not gonna happen. I’m like a cat. Sleep for 20 hours a day
Codenames is meh. If word association isn't your bag, and you don't 'jive' with your partner's brain, its a slog.
I believe Jeff’s personality came back as a goose.
The Giants/Bills joke was a 10/10 🙌
She’s VERY happy you said this
@@FostertheMeeple 🙌
1. Blood Rage - neutral, since played only once and need to play more before can form an opinion. 1st game was underwhelmed as rules teach wasn’t great. 😅
2. Codenames - totally on Jeff’s side! Haha, think party games don’t really match me. 😢
3. A Feast for Odin - Jamie is totally wrong here! Jeff described the game so well! I think this has to do partially with Jamie’s distaste with Uwe generally. 😂😂
5. Western Legends - Yet to try but sandbox games doesn’t seem to attract me that much. Vindication was good but seems to finish fast if players wanted to. Waiting to try Forsaken when it arrives. That’s about all I know about sandbox games. 😊
I'm with Jeff 100% on this one! Blood Rage, A Feast For Odin & Western Legends are some of my favourite games anyway, but also Jeff is very logical in his arguments... I think Jamie and my dear wife were probably twins separated at birth, they argue just the same! And it's soooo frustrating! #teamJeff
YESSSSS LETS GOOO
A lot of games that I don't like, at least I can appreciate why other people do. That's not the case for A Feast for Odin. I've won 2-3 times out of the 4-5 times I've played it, but I have no idea how or why. The last time I was so far behind the other three players, I gave up and fucked around the last two rounds and won by a landslide. Most games, win or lose, I can see where I made a good or bad move, or why my strategy succeeded or failed, but with Feast it just seems like everyone does a bunch of shit for a very, very long time and then someone wins in the end. If there's any strategy behind it, I fail to see what it is.
A lot of eastern Europe has viking lineage. Check out info on the Rus. 😉
I was gonna say I was team Jamie here but then, Feast for Odin. Jeff, you right. We mad. Mike is straight up hurt. Feast for Odin for life.
#downwithjamie
Jeff is correct about Anomia. I do really well at it and still don't like it. The brain slowness is something that applies to Spot It as well. Both games have the annoying logistics of flipping cards fast and people always complain they can't see when you are flipping. My least favourite games.
I'm definitely in Jeff's corner on these games. While the only one I've played is Western Legends (Jamie, how can you not like it?), I really want to play A Feast for Odin. Like all of the other Uwe games, I'm sure I'll love it (Currently Caverna is my favorite). The only one I'm not sure of is Blood Rage, I think I would like it, but haven't felt the need to buy it with all the other games I still need to get. I'm sure Code Names would be fun once in a while, but I'm not really interested in it. As far as Anomia, I got bored just listening how to play. Great video guys.
Thanks for watching Mark & sharing your thoughts!
Love the hair Jamie! You guys are hilarious!
She said thank you!!
I actually agree with Jamie on Blood Rage. It’s ok fun and sometimes epic moves and effects happen, but it’s too long 😅
…but I love love love Agricola
You won me back with the Agricola comment. I was coming to fight.
Yeah I was honestly a bit underwhelmed by Western Legends. If I'm going for a western themed game Colt Express is my game of choice. It's tons of fun, check it out!
Colt express is VERY good. Agreed
Omg I thought I was the only one with a loathing for all versions of Codenames. I’m with you Jeff, it’s a combo of my brain not working that way and usually some dingus in the group who loudly disagrees with your clue giving 🙄 I absolutely hate that game
THANK YOU ERIN! I knew we were best friends
@@FostertheMeeple absolutely. Best friends don’t bring Codenames to the party
I cannot stand Anomia!! I played it once and it was so loud and chaotic that it wasn’t fun at all. It just got louder and louder with people screaming over each other. Never again.
You get it! Thank you.
I’m with Jeff on Codenames - for a party game it’s way too quiet and intense! I’m with Jamie on Western Legends - I’m looking forward to Forsaken, Western Legends but good. 😊
Spicy take!
You guys need to get the western legends expansions. Wont play without them.
Hopefully someday!
best news yet, can't wait for twitch streams!!!
Haha I’m sure it will not be flawless but we will give it a go!
@@FostertheMeeple we'll be here for it 100% no matter what!
Who doesn't like codenames XD? It's so funny and perfect for a party game night
This guy doesn’t! Haha
Blood Rage is probably my least favorite Lang game. Much prefer Godfather, then probably Rising Sun. Jeff, usually I feel like our tastes align pretty well, and so I always pay close attention to your recommendations, but I was shocked, nay, flabbergasted when you compared Endless winter to Feast for Odin. I am with Jamie on Feast for Odin, I found it over laborious and of little fun. Endless Winter I found aesthetically pleasing and crunchy for all the right reasons :)
Hey everybody is wrong sometimes ;)
Jeff. Yep, Jeff.
I’m going to have to go with Jamie, only because of the bills. Going to have to get you some pats gear.
But I’m with you both for anomia, we always have fun playing it, but my brain doesn’t work that way either and I’ve never come close to winning.
PATS GEAR?!? Get outta here. Gross
Your hair looks good Jamie. Your hat looks good Jeff. Great video 🫡
Ok but which is better
@@FostertheMeeple the hair 😶🌫️
@@chandlermcgowan2038 booooo ;)
It's proven I'm the fastest made me laugh. Great video J&J.
Thank you!!
I like Codenames but it is def not my favorite word party game any more. My problem is just that one team takes the lead and in the games I’ve played the other team has a very hard time coming back. Fun little puzzle though.
Yea that’s a good critique!
I'm with Jeff code names I will have to try so clover
Yea for sure!
New hair Jamie is sassy💁🏼♀️
Hahah old hair Jamie was also sassy
viking are from the north nor the east, imagine some track suit wearing slavs raiding and pillaging lol
Hair looks great!
I guess the response depends on who is reading this comment, but I have to agree with Jeff on Anomia. I've only played it twice and the second time was under duress. It just makes me feel stressed when I have to think that fast.
You chose wisely ;)
Regarding codenames. Have you played Decrypto? Many people who have the same problems Jeff has with codenames enjoy that one a bit more. @Jamie, there is Codenames Harry Potter which is like Codenames Duet, I think you will love it! Maybe you can catch @Jeff with the theme here
Just registered for the Game-a-thon. let's see how much I can do
We have played decrypto but only once, I did prefer it to codenames but still wasn’t a love
LOL I have never played Blood Rage but I would basically say everything Jamie says.
BOOOOOO
I agree with Jeff, I hate playing Codenames
Jamie changed her hair color?? I didn’t notice as I can’t take my eyes off of Jeff’s hat.
HAHAHAHA this made me laugh a lot
Codenames Peasants… pedestrians… LOL!
Bystanders 😂
Have you tried Duet yet? Jeff may like it better!! Edit. Ok. I heard that he did NOT like it. Lol
BYSTANDERS!!
It just sounds like the theme of the game is one of the things that affects Jamie’s enjoyment of the game. Same with everyone, just to different degrees. For example, even though both games Pret A Porter and Obsession are mechanically designed extremely well, I have absolutely no desire to play them based on theme.
With approximately 150k of games catalogued on BGG, I think there should be no reason people can not find several games in common they can enjoy playing together without feeling tortured doing so. So Jeff should not be forced to play Codenames ever again (I agree. I’m no a fan of party games).
Makes for a fun video discussion though.
Rising Sun > Blood Rage; jep I said it I'm here to represent it :D
Hey I don’t think you’ll get too many disagreements from us
You two argue about games the same way my husband and I do.
Me: There's just too much! It's overwhelming!
Him: THAT'S THE FUN PART.
Later, different...
Me: I LOVE THIS GAME THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO AND THE PUZZLE IS AMAZING.
Him: And yet, you S on FFO...
Me: A word game? Yesssss! Scrabble Brain: on!
Him: OMG this is so boring and hard and I want to scratch my eyes out.
Also, Jamie, your pink hair is #goals
She said thank you! And yes, very same arguments haha
Very entertaining video indeed. My wife and I enjoyed it.
Awesome!! Happy to hear it Roberto!
Blood Rage is a top-10 game for me! I don't see what's not to like.
Fair! That’s games though. Some work for people some don’t!
Your hair looks great Jamie
She said thank you!
no way! blood rage is my no.1 game of all time
A whole video of sass! Like the hair colour Jamie but for games I'm team Jeff on this one!
TEAM JEFF LETS GOOOO
Ya'll are hilarious. I was also back and forth on who i agreed with, and have strong opinions too lol.
1) Blood Rage is one of the most FUN dudes on a map games and converts many. its beloved for a reason. And the Norse theme is good, Heimdall and Loki are household names now. If you like fighty and card drafting...srsly Jamie, why don't you like this??? no, really, if you dont like conflict, Id get it. But...srsly, wtf? Being contrary or really dont like it? ps: only you guys and tom vasel like Rising Sun more than this! its interesting but eh....Rising Sun is my least favorite of his cmon trilogy (and I want to play Ankh more in 2023)
2) I agree Feast of Odin is too much and the epitome of point salad BS i'm so over. I've played it once, just because it has dwarf and beer pasted on it vs dour mediterranean traders, it still feels like rando abstract mini game BS that keeps me from being immersed. and feeding your people is a pretty buzzkill mechanic if too harsh, not my favorite mechanism. I started when Agricola was all the rage, and it was TOO tight for me ugh, but i get its appeal. Caverna and Feast of Odin are too loose and big for my preference in contrast? Jaime, you say you like Uwe, but you dislike the games I have tried too and I had thought were synonymous with him. What will I like if i'm just hard out on Feast of Odin? ps: In terra mystica, the abstract purple bead action point stuff making zero sense and feeling like random gamified bs made me totally never want to play again too for same reason Feast was a dud for me, if that makes sense?
3) codenames is fine. its great to get people interested in games, but Ive played it so ,much now I'm pretty done with it too, though willing to play with right group. I'm trying new party games over this myself now, and some folks freeze up or it misfires, yet its still a "party" game. any party game i don't hate is great, it was a great SdJ winner and good for hobby. and lets choose something else, though not without as big a frown as Jeff. But its better than cards against humanity, and im great with folks that liked that firing it for this for sure!
admission: i have so clover on its way to me solely from hearing yall mention it a few times...
Whooooaaahh!!! Love the hair!!!
She said thank you!
I’m with Jamie on Blood rage. It’s one I thought I would like but after many plays it just doesn’t work for me. Both my wife and I dislike the game a lot.
Hey fair enough! I’ll argue with Jamie not you ;)
For this episode of Foster the Hat Journey, I’m a solid Team Jeff. #sombrerojeff
There’s more to come!
Yay! More FtM!
Hope you enjoy Richard!
I married a narcissist too I know how it feels😂
Btw funny board game arguments in the vid lol
Haha it’s what we are best at
LOVE THE HAIR 😍
She said thank you!
It’s obvious you guys are married Lolol! 😂
Hahah isn’t it?
What a fun video lol!
Haha glad you enjoyed it!
I love your hair!
She said thank you!
I don't like it when mommy and daddy fight. :P
Codenames peasants, LOL. They are bystanders. Jamie must be too posh. :)
If Jamie just wants to pick up and deliver cows, she may like Great Western Trail.
