Mom, Tom is Arcs-teasing again!

I can confirm that we (Arcane Wonders) are bringing ito to English markets later this year!

@@blakwngbrd Awesome. As someone that loves Wavelength, this looks like a perfect small-box version that has just enough of a wrinkle to make having both in a collection a great idea! Feel like it could benefit from having a second sheet of prompts though!

Looks super fun, looking forward to it! 😉

For the sake of efficiency I'm going to start storing all my board game components "loose". Who needs boxes anyway, let it all hang out on the shelf, exposed and free as nature intended.

Free range board gaming, no boxes, no confinement. Just meeples being free as some god intented them to be!

If I did that with my copy of Eldritch Horror + expansions, I'd be finding lost bits of that game for the next 60 years like the glitter I spilled in the second grade.

the sky team experience: *looks at co-pilot with smile of pure horror. places a 6, while shaking head* *co-pilot attempts to correct for the 6, looking back with a mix of confusion and frustration* *continues smiling and shaking head. places another 6*

Dropolter is a game where people are like "ya I guess we can try that", then hours later they are insisting on just one more round.

What a burn, especially since Tom Vasel is on the record that he would save these guys in the apocalypse. 🤣

Glad to know I'm not the only one who very carefully arranges my shelfs not alphabetically or by genre, and not randomly, but by where the boxes best fit

Neither Gloomhaven nor Frosthaven play ball with Kallax whatsoever. They've basically got a cubby each (though Gloomhaven has a file organiser for the map tiles that lives with it). Both are just a little too big to really share space with any other full-sized board game box. You'd get little ones in with Gloomhaven (sans file organiser), but you'd struggle with all but the dinkiest of small box game alongside Frosthaven.

That feeling of dread/excitement you get when you go into a list video knowing ypu own NONE of the boxes in the thumbnail

Watching you stuff unboxed components into the crevices of your shelves was simultaneously one of the most horrifying and most fantastic things I've seen in a video in a long time.

"The kind of humor we're into isn't really wacky or winking to the camera. It skews somewhat dry and absurdist. Now excuse me while I take sip from this Omega Mart glass."

Absolutely in no way a remixed "top five small box games" list video with a slapped on theme to justify it I can't see what could possibly have given anyone that impression.

Tom now outsourcing table shots to hand/arm model!

Can someone make a gif of the "moment your friend realizes you have a lot of board games" please?

The loose storage of big top is triggering my anxiety

SMH. I would have expected more from my husband’s favorite KZreadr. You detail out the gaps in the beginning so well, getting my hopes up for some OCD satisfying gap filling action. But then your video devolved into an actual game review. Where’s the before and afters of the box fittings? The zoomed out pictures of the perfectly filled gaps! The slow mo shots of boxes sliding in and out of perfectly fitting holes in your shelf? Don’t even get me started on the tragedy that was your Spectral fitting!! Expectation: that feeling of satisfaction when you eliminate four rows with a perfectly timed Tetris straight piece Reality: chaos and frustration

As if there were gaps in my kallax. I'll have to buy another kallax to have gaps to fill with these games!

Small box games are always good... When they are... Good! Some little ones working well here and in holidays or hiking trips! -Hive -Crypts of sedlec -The game -Jekyll VS hide (or VS Scotland yard) -Alice's garden -Jaipur Cheers from belgium

Went straight out and bought Dro Polter. Looks great.

Dropolter is one of my most played and loved partygames! Great filler and so much fun, with cheers and laughing! Highly recommended!

That Guile's Theme is a perfect ending track.

Love the gremlin look after “dice tower review” 19:55

Great review Tom! FYI on sky team. It's 0,1,2 spaces on the engine. Freaking great game :)

Whose arms Tom? Whose arms? Amazing tattoos!

That Big Top shelf-placement. Bravo. Bravo.

that arcs tease is mean

With this sneak peak of your collection I'd love to see an update of it from the last 2 years one!

Deep Sea Adventure is definitely my favorite small box game. So much game in such a tiny box.

Tom bringing a new twist of getting food in the board games that has made SUSD board game review mavericks- by putting games into his food holders

10:55 SIXTEEN METRES BY TWENTY EIGHT METRES. That's a Big Top indeed.

You really gotta add Durian to the stack of cannonically good Oink games.

4:03 THAT WAS AN ACTION BUTTON REFERENCE OH MY GOD YES

Arcs on the shelf... Stop making people jealous! :D

Sky Team sounds really fun!

SUSD's overview got a few minor details wrong, but yeah, Sky Team is excellent. A great "couple's co-op", to put it one way.

Amazing video!! Love the picks!!

Nonchalant showing his Arcs. I really like a video. Can't wait for the delivery.

I, too, love the taste of Lao Gan Ma! 😂

intro hits close to home XD

Guile's theme, if it goes with a board game review, then, you might just say... ... it goes with everything

These seem really fun :D and certainly good gap-fillers xD thank you for sharing

That Lords of Vegas briefcase. ❤You don't even need to talk about it. It will never fit in your Kallax. It will just sit there, saying "Take me down and start an mean, unseemly takeover war with your best friend."

Love the finchy shirt. Too the fools

Michael.

NO THE CUDDLE ROOM RETURNS AFTER ALL THESE YEARS DEAR GOD I DIDNT NEED TO BE REMINDED.

I wish all game reviews/summaries including box size and also approximate tabletop size (that you need to play, especially if there is a board). The latter should also be on the side of the box, along with player counts, age range and duration.

Talking about Arcs when?

Retry T-shirt!!!! Yay!!! ✌️😊❤️

Ito looks like a mixture of Wavelength and The Mind. Looking forward to the reprint

Guile's theme is so good!

"It's not the second coming of Christ", hahahahaha you made me laugh.

Every time you guys take a jab at the dice tower it kills me 🤣🤣

love the doom 1 shotgun sound effects

Been waiting on my copy of spectral for a while! Still haven’t got it yet!

Small box game? Pax Renaissance 1st ed.

I've been really wanting to try Ito for a while, and now I have to add Dro Polter to that list! For people interested in Ito, I very highly recommend Eye My Favorite Things btw. It's the same idea as a trick taking game and is easily the best conversation starter I've ever played.

"Top 10" is a more streamlined version of ito from the sound of it. or more partyfied? Only have cards from 1 to 10, prompts are a bit longer and wordier, but it works perfectly. And its in stock. Here in germany at least.

Are we not going to talk about Shark & Bus just sitting their flexing your impeccable taste 💪😤🔥🚌🦈

I'm currently in the process with my manufacturer of determining the size/shape of the box for my upcoming board game and watching you puzzle through fitting things on your shelves was a well timed treat! 😅🥰📦

Nice to see a new video from my fav Tom 😊

Nice monstera funny man

The only thing that I just learned is that I have been using my fridge wrong for years. I guess the game recommendations were helpful as well...

TY for this! The family's been looking for some smaller, faster games to complement behemoths like Betrayal and Caverna.

I really appreciate the Omegamart Water glass.. Very good also sky team is great

Use of the doom shotgun sound for sky team doomed attempts. Perfect.

Bonus points for your delicious jar of Laoganma

But, but, but... how does Through the Desert FIT IN THE KALLAX !!!???

Tom! Omega-Mart!?!? We got the same glass! I hope you stood up to the corporation. I love it and I love this video!❤🎉

for 4:10 it's 0, 1 or 2 spaces, not 1, 2, 3

The friend I play it with and I have the same problem. I say 0, 1, 2 removing the end of turn 1 space move cause it's inevitable. He says 1, 2, 3 cause it's inevitable

Heresy! Where is Insider in the conically good oink games!?!?!

I thought the Spectral shelfing was amazing until I hear "2 by 1 oinks". I almost woke up my kids because I laughed so hard

Great video

I want to love Sky Team so much. Yet I know I can't buy it because my wife has a paralyzing fear of flight, and only manages to fly if she is mentally holding the plane up in the sky the entire trip. This game would cripple that for her.

I appreciate the Doom shotgun sounds :)

I have no problem cannibalizing board game boxes to repackage games into tighter fitting boxes in order to maximize shelf space. I just cut the title off and glue it to the new box. It was painful at first. But now I’m looking at over 125 games on one shelf, and I’m pretty proud of that. And I still have space for more mwah ha ha ha. It just wouldnt be possible otherwise.

That Doom sound effect somehow got a chuckle every damned time

Genuinely gutted that the video name changed

Putting the cards in the refrigerator to set…next to something with pectin 😎

Dro Polter sounds like a blast!

4:10 In Sky Team you don't move 1, 2 or 3 spaces but 0, 1 or 2. And you move on the approach track, not the altitude. Did you read the rules 😅

Loving those Doom SFX

Does anybody know where one can get the metal coins that are shown in the Big Top review? Thanks!

We have those exact jars in our fridge too. Though I'm struggling to utilise the chili crisp. Don't know what to use it for.

People see me in my true little goblin form when they see the living room table half covered by the ongoing sleeping gods campaign.

I think Avant Carde is my current favorite small box game. It just came out and I'm addicted! Think if uno was a deck builder.

I've been looking for Spectral and for the life of me can't find it anywhere. Is it out of print?

How did you know I watch your videos while washing the dishes?! 😊

Just imagine what the pieces feel like on a convention demo copy of Dro Polter. Go on, I dare you.

Nice Doom 95 shotgun sound byte.

A trick to fit small games with lots of games in your Kallax is to insert individual cards between other boxes, they fill the gaps really nicely.

What was the Oink game on the bottom of the stack???

They’re too small! My sasquatch hands will crush them like dry noodles resisting the fate of a hydronic press!

17:54 - imo, your "good oink games" set is missing insider and maybe also maskmen? i haven't decided how i feel about maskmen yet. i've only played a partial game so far and it was interesting, but half the round was spent correcting everyone about how they could play various wrestlers, so...

I really like Troika, people sleep on it.

your sample game is on point

Ito sounds extremely similiar to Top ten but with more cards representing range. (which could be both good and bad I am a little split on that) Still it might be good alternative for people who are interested in it as it is hard to find.

the casual Arcs box.
