    I played My City on BGA and really liked it. Playing through My Island now. I’m playing one game with my friend and the other with my husband as it comes with four boards. So very worth it for me. Lots of fun. Congrats on 5 years! Celebrating by watching your video while reading a rule book with my cat on my lap. Does that count lol.

    Do we always need to use all four dices at the end of every round? Because we had already all green lights switched on after the 5th round. So in round 6 and 7 it seemed we had to much dices left. Thanks for help ❤

    Wow, 5 years goes quickly! I've been watching you since near the beginning. Congratulations! I'm taking it easy this weekend, and I'm going to play some board games on the deck with my spouse. However, that has more to do with it being a long weekend for Canada Day (July 1st). Maybe we can play Arboretum because that's the first game I watched Monique's video of.

    I have Paladins and I love it! I love the videos I've seen of the other two games and they're on my shopping list. I play solo, and I really appreciate the fact that Shem doesn't just use a copy/paste system for the solo variants, each is different and each really fits with the game. I have a question about the Tomesaga though, are you able to integrate it into a playthrough of all 3 games as a solo player?

    Congrats on the five years! I found your channel through your Calico video because it came out at the same time I was searching information on the game. Did not end up loving Calico, but found legends like Ark Nova and Pipeline through your playthroughs. I am trying not to buy every single new game so your channel is the number one way for me to get to know new games.

    They should make a game with a large map using hexagons to move and have different terrain to effect movement. Use pistols 1-3 points of damage and rifles 1-6 points of damage. use ammo like regular or silver bullets against cryptids like the Dogman, Bigfoot, Gillman, Lake Monster, Jersey Devil, Mothman, Ropen, Wampus Cat etc. You could have 1-6 players and one player playing the monsters.

    Oh, Congrats! Wow, five years is a long periode of time! I find the channel this year, by the serching of Vital Lacerda games. The funniest moment was, when I looked a episode about Sky Team and Naveene hold on to keep the box in the camera and I asked me, if they had paid you both for standing models for their cover. So similar. The best moments were, I fell in love with Rococo and Lisboa! 💕

Anyway, what an accomplishment and here's to the next five years! 🥂 Is it time for another game of Knarr on BGA, perhaps? Naveen, we need to unseat Monique as the reigning champion. It's a tall order, but if we don't try it will never happen! 😂

    Love Knarr! the art is great and it's very easy to teach. My ONE complaint is how tiny the player tokens are for the reputation track. they're a bit tricky to stack but otherwise a 10/10 for me.

    I just finished watching this play through, because I have just purchased this very old title. So I am late on both counts......lol. In fact as I am writing this, the parcel has arrived. I love your teach, very smooth, excellent work. I don't mind long games as me and my friend used to spend full days on any type of game, although that is mainly due to my friends extreme AP..........lol. It has never bothered me though as I have always loved the experience. I purchased this as I thought it was well out of print. Great work to you both and well done on excellent videos. Sorry, I've gone on a bit......oooops.

    Complete game world beginner here ! I’m so glad I came across you guys’ channel! I’m wanting to start game nights with hubby but both of us were hesitant in learning all the components to games like these. Your videos are EXACTLY what a beginner needs, explanations were slow and understandable; proceeding with a play through is the icing on the cake. Really appreciate the time, effort, and creation of your videos!

    At 34:30 ish Naveen cheats with his movement, isn’t he supposed to follow the arrows? Moving his Viscount up the down path as far as I could see. At 1:30 ish Monique does the same thing.

    Maybe it’s because you’re sitting side by side, but removing and handing back tokens constantly seems annoying. But I think sitting across from each other and the figures being upright will make it better
