Summoner Wars is great. I own a copy of the Second Edition of it.
Love this series, keep it going!
Thanks, Chaz. Awesome. Really looking forward to get a chance to play Khora. Also SeaStead by WizKids looks exciting!
“Buy land, ‘cause God ain’t making any more of it.” — Tony Soprano — Thanks for featuring MONOPOLY: The Sopranos. 💙
I like the idea of this. Hope you keep it going.
Excellent new series Chaz, keep up the good work 🙂
Wonderful series for us non Kickstarter folk! Bless you!
220? Holy crap! Lol
Hey Chaz. First, I have always loved your light hearted delivery style and the effort you take to make it so. I love the buyers guide.. keeping it short. Just a bit of insight and some humor to keep it fun. Keep them coming!
I have really liked this video, especially the Chaz's Eye catchers segment. Thumbs way up!
This series is a great idea. I love the format. I hope it will continue.
A wonderful new series! Thank you for the great video, Chaz!
Keep this series up. Really liked the content and found a couple games I didn't know about.
Thank you so much Chaz for putting that game back on the correct shelf! I almost booked a plane ticket to the States to do it myself. Please be careful with these kind of jokes, it can cause mental health issue with some people and nightmares. 🤪
I'm torn on that Among the Stars recommendation. On the one hand, the game is pretty great with the spatial component that 7 Wonders didn't have, and integrating it with the resource management aspect is really interesting (although Fields of Green did that better). On the other, as far as I remember there wasn't that much game in the box before you need to add in expansions, and integrating those in was a chore.
Yeah I want more of this series
I love this series!
I just want to mention I don't really have anywhere to share this to, so…I'm sharing my thoughts that I enjoyed this video.
Excellent idea for a video. Way too many videos that say something along the lines of, “I love this game, but you can only get it for 300% over msrp.”
nice one! Whats in Store great way of promoting FLGS around the world…….a contributor section..maybe?
Love this idea for a new series !
This is a great series for me. I have to travel an hour to get to big retail stores, or even my favorite game store, so knowing what is coming out or what's already in store is an invaluable resource. A conversation with the Brothers Murph a few weeks back had a similar effect, when they informed me that a game I was looking to buy and found to be quite expensive on Amazon ($80) was available at Barnes & Noble for $40…so I really appreciate the heads up when games are widely available.
You completely fail to mention both Red Rising, a Stonemaier Game and Arboretum which both are heavier card games.
If speaking about party games potential of deterring future players, the games you lack to mention deter me from this video.
I liked the new format. Going to Targets to show what’s actually available is genius! The monopoly minute is hilarious. Good job, looking forward to the next one
Love this series start! Being able to know what’s good and available right now to buy is incredibly useful!
A couple thoughts:
Terms found in the comments to help beginning gamers or gamers like myself that I had no idea what FLGS was. (Maybe add these in your very useful video description)
FLGS = “Friendly Local Game Store"
OLGS means… “on-line game store”
Gateway games = n. A game with simple rules that are easy to teach non-gamers in order to attract new players into boardgaming as a hobby.
If you focus on visiting a game store maybe have 5-7 categories of different games like strategy, deduction, party!, involved/intense/advanced, large group, solo, 2-3 player, kids, non-gamer (gateway games), etc. that the store tells you their recommendations.
Lastly please spend a little time on Horrified American monsters! I just taught the original game Horrified to a couple enthusiastic non-gamers where we played during two nights. I was finally able to find a copy of horrified American monsters and we all thoroughly enjoyed the new version as well!
Note: Still putting out hope that they do an official expansion to horrified.
so bloodborn is zombicide vampire edition?
I would like to see something like this only “everything new hitting the shelf’s this month”
I'm a big fan of this series idea!
6:02 I'm glad the kids are finding the dragon these days and not chasing them
Got a copy of Roll in One at my flgs! Can’t wait to play!
Massive thumbs up for this new segment. Thank you Chaz for the most comprehensive presentation about what is currently out there in our amazing world of board game goodness. You really put a lot of work into this and I eagerly await the next installment, thank you again.
Enjoying this
Thanks for this awesome video! I learned about some new games and I also get some chuckles in!
Love this idea! Thanks Chaz
You showed the wrong boardgame for Durian Dash – that's Durian by Oink Games. They're different boardgames, not even a reimplementation or re-skin.
Love it, love everything about it – even the hos…. well, love most things about it.
I like this series. I hope to see more.
Love this new idea. Glad to hear what is worth keeping an eye on keep it up.
I just played Dark Souls, I’ll keep an eye on Bloodborne
Quite enjoyed this new series. Keep it up!
Great new video, keep the excellent work up. It's great too see new games that otherwise I'd never know about.
Just getting around to watching this. I loved it!!!! Please do one every month!!!
I was literally thinking today how all the games I'm looking at lately are old. Damn Google for reading my mind….but I appreciate it this time…
Oh how sweet to hear that old WiP intro song again! A walk down memory lane 🥲
Makes it nine minutes into the video. Already bought three games… Yeah, it's a successful new series.
Ooozing alien ectoplasm on my shelf….. there is a sentence i never thought Chaz would utter.
Thank you for making this video!! Please keep making this series!!!
this was fantastic ,so many new games that i've not heard of but am keen to add to my own wish list. the only downer was seeing your target with so many games and so cheap compared to Aussie stores
I really like this idea as a new series… but my wallet doesn’t 😂
I’m interested in the My First Adventure thing, but it seems to be completely out of stock. Where might I get one?
