Quotes (from this video)
- I am looking for some new games to take camping.
- I would love to take some kind of outdoorsy game out there and it'd be fun to just take pictures of it and I don't know talk about it or even just ultimately play it with my family over there.
- I'm looking for any kind of recommendations that you would all have for the perfect games to take on like an outdoors/foresty area.
- I was complaining about how bad the insert is and this even though it was karma for me talking talking bad about it. You know, it just goes to show like it's just such a pain to put away because as much as I love this game, it's so hard to table sometimes because everything is so disorganized.
- I'm honestly just asking to see if any of you have some really cool recommendations or if there are any games that you would like to see me take pictures of in the wild, like creative pictures for fun, um, of any kind of game.
- comment wilderness because that's where I'm going to be in a few days out in the wilderness, taking some pictures back to how it all started cuz I did actually take I mean, I wasn't in the wilderness at the time, but I did take pictures of Avidel in a local park.

- The top 10 games are going to come from my own board game collection, and they're games I already own.
- I think this is a video where I want to dedicate my top 10 list to games that just need a little bit more love.
