I love phase 10 too!😊
15:19 I am the opposite. I will watch a How To Play video and/or some playthrough videos – and then I will read the rulebook before playing. I feel like I need to read the rulebook, otherwise I would not be able to easily answer questions about the game. Reading it is the best – because then I would have the familiarity – I can recall from what I read – what a particular paragraph said about the topic – and I would know where to go to answer the question. My problem is that I am a very slow reader, so it takes me forever (depending on the length of the rulebook, it can take me hours or days to finish it. Of course, I work, too, so I don’t have the time to routinely go through with reading rulebooks all the time, either).But at least I would have a basic understanding of how to play by watching the video(s) and I watch a lot of Board Gaming content on YouTube anyway.
Really enjoyed getting to know you both better! Very much enjoying people doing the Tabletop Tag. We did it over on Rolling With Two.
WOW. The callout from the 3-0 day HAHAHA.
game of life left
Jeff looks like the blond Winter soldier! 😂
Nice video! such a fun tag, a great way to get to know other creators out there 😀
I tried TWICE the other day to post a comment, but it never posted. Does Youtube hate me? I'll say again – as I did the other time – Jeff's quick, monotone "board games" and "board gamey things" is a trademark move!! You CAN'T mess with it!
P.S. Blue and Purple are MY favourite colours too! #twinning
I AM SO HAPPY YALL DID THIS!!! 🥺🤍🤍
I watch a good bit of board game Youtube content but it's been a struggle finding which Youtuber's game style/preference I match as I build up my collection. This whole time I thought it might be Jeff, until I found out he typically picks the red character. May not be relevant, but it certainly puts his judgement into question! Loved the video as always
Nice to learn even more about you. I'll add my answers later, I already did the list.
Peanut M&Ms are objectively the best board game snack. Yellow is my meeple color of choice. Mechs & Minions is the game based on a league of legends right? Can’t wait to see content for that. It’s my most played video game aka addiction.
Great video. I really enjoyed the Q&A’s. Congratulations on getting your version of Mechs vs Minions! Wooohooo!!!! That is such a fun game. I introduced it to a couple of friends last week. They’re coming back with another buddy to play that specific game tonight. It struck a cord. Building/coordination a strategy amongst the players, action sequence programming, stellar production value, the variation in the missions. Sooooo good. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Essen 2023, let's make it happen!
I have to find you at Essen then. I'll bring the Swedish sour candy. And liquorice, obviously.
WOW! Jeff w/o a Hat…. Love the Hair! 🙂 Keep up the Amazing Vids!!!
My bf and I also play phase10 a lot 🙂 haha it is weird but we are also getting into the hobby. We continued with games like patchwork, Villainous and Radlands thanks to you guys and we are slowly getting more games. Thank you for this content! Fun to get to know you more!
Biggest pet peeve when people bend money or cards uggg ruine it or poor sports
PITCHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!
BIDJAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
ASL is a classic, and everybody was 18/F/CA
Finally decided to look up where Halifax is. I live in Oklahoma and the maps app says that would be a 34 hr drive. For some reason anytime someone says they are in Canada I always assume the Montreal or Toronto area, but y’all are way over there.
Also, happy July birthday Jeff. Mine is the tenth and I’ll be turning 38.
And I always play green now because the wife and kid fight over red and blue.
We also played Trouble, the "pop-o-matic bubble game!" 🤪 For the record, I too snack while playing games and play games so I can hang with people. I think that's why I like your channel so much…we share a lot of the same values!
When talking about mechanisms, Jamie says “I don’t really like beige games” 😂😂😂 oh I love your one liners! Can we have a book with your one liners Jamie??
Don't say "sorry." say, "sorry." Jeese, you guys sound so Canadian.
asl? lol. good old AOL chat rooms. thanks for the memories.
I'm excited to hear that you'll be at PAX Unplugged this year! My wife and I will be there, too, and it will be our first ever board game convention. It would be great to see you there and get a chance to say hello!
I prefer Jeff’s new intro. Just needs a dance flourish. Maybe some jazz hands?
Trouble had the pop-o-matic to roll the dice. My favorite childhood game was Aggravation.
I'm young like Jamie but I remember a/s/l.
I don't usually have candy but now I want M&Ms for board game night! That's the perfect snack for board games!
Just saying… Jeff, if you decide to bring back the energy I think a lot of people would like to see you dressed up as Michigan J. Frog (the Warner Bros. Frog) doing a hop-trot across the screen with a top hat and cane singing, "Board games!" and "Board-gamey things!". Just an idea.
Mechs vs Minions nice I just got that as well. Programming is the mechanism
At 32 I'm used to everyone being younger then me so I'm suprised because yall look so young. I like the less enthusiastic intro. It hurts my head less.
Great video! I've been enjoying watching all the #tabletoptag videos, such a great idea👍
ASL could also mean Advanced Squad Leader… fitting for board gamers. 😉
SOARY is a children's classic in Canada.
Did you see Black Flag (Trifecta Games) at Dice Tower West?
I love Phase 10 – I could get my family to play that game I still have it but have not played it in years!
Yah, another Jamie and Jeff utube!!
You are the best!! But think I have said that before!🤣
Absolutely LOVED the video guys! 🥰👏🏻 thank you so much for taking part and continuing the tabletop tag! It has been so much fun watching and learning more about the amazing people in this community! CLEVER GAL! 🤣😏
Jamie have you tried the pretzel M&M… yum!!!
you guys look 25 maximum.
what was this game at 22:03?
Yes someone else agrees with peanut m&ms! That’s the only thing we ever eat during board games and we go through so many!
That was so nice to watch. I hope the channels you tagged get on board…..ha, did you like that pun!😁
