Quotes (from this video)
- i think at this point i sort of stopped using the bottled citadel sort of varnish because i've kind of bounced around the marshes that i use

- don't call it magic though
- i hate metal
- this is like a molten rock monster with this giant cannon
- the silliness it's great there
- this guy peeled off his own face and then stuck it on his belt buckle
- this guy's pure blades running around so yeah he's dedicated
- i don't really want to because you could really mire in and you could get super detailed with this stuff
- this is just all super dead quick you could go back in here and do some details i don't really have the inkling or desire to do that
- i'm not going to paint 20 doors worth of detail
- i really like this big sigmar statue there that's pretty cool
- he's like a little illithide or mind flare kind of guy

Quotes (from this video)
- The people who bought it really enjoyed it were like oh this is very cool and I like this and I'm very proud of the book as well because I think it's a cool rule set and I also think that the layout on it went very well took a long time but I really enjoyed the way that it came out
- Majestic 13 did not sell all that well
- Death Wizards has been out for a month and a couple of days and it has sold more copies than Majestic 13 has which came out 13 months ago
- it's an indie game made by enemy spotted studios
- so the games are shorter
- it is a very highly tactical game
- players must rely on their widths precise positioning and equipment to win forget about special rules rules in Army building in blackout it's all about raw tactics
- we're kind of out cuz you talked about our our our game in your video recently and we are out of product now
- kill team 3.0 better be good the whole obstruction line of sight has God awful
- I would like them to change kill team drastically and make a third version and see how that works out I would kind of like them to go back to the old ways but I know I'm the only one who thinks that
- Kingdom Death is a great example of a boutique game versus any that I've named so far
- quar such a fantastic game love their minis
- Fallout is the wild west of ips for me something I really can't bring myself to care about
- it's the bombs dropped in 2077 which means that we like got to where we are now here in 2024 and then decided you know what's cool the 1950s let's go back to that and make thing and I'm like why did this happen
- it's alternate history kind of Fallout is yes it's the future you know the bombs dropped in 2077 but the reason we got to that point was because the transistor was never invented so it that's that that's why things are different is because it's alternate history which never had clicked with me the entire time I've been playing those damn games
- I am definitely interested in Fallout tactics
- it was it was too board gamey for me frankly like that was the problem
- I'm liking death Wizards a lot I'm currently working on building up some minis so I can play it nice

Quotes (from this video)
- I don't not every game needs to have deep lore Some people just want to play fun games Some people want to take the lore from game a and bring it into a game B where they like the rules better
- lore is interchangeable so you know one of my favorite games out there is space weirdos it has literally no lore it's fine I make up lore on the Fly
- I like the fact that they're giving you options to play with the models you already have without having to go through and go geez I don't know what are they trying to get a point like what is this again you're like well these guys are supposed to be tyranids oh well it didn't come across as tyranids or whatever I have a whole bunch of tyranids and so I should use this
- the rules are generic not the lore
- Are they officially model agnostic I mean sure yeah you can use whatever ever models you want I mean to be fair every game is officially model agnostic even if they don't say it is it is
- I just don't like moving them in a chunk I like being able to move them separately I don't like that that just here's a thing and the the type of play where it's like well this part has to wheel over and do this and then then you're attacking from a flank
- rivenstone is the game that you're talking about
- the problem is this well it's not the problem here's the most recent answer they still haven't produced the stuff yet but the most recent email I got from them which I think was in July was them saying another company is basically buying the game from us and they will do the production and the the Fulfillment

Quotes (from this video)
- ooh that looks tasty welcome folks to the hungry gamer
- is back with the first video of the 2024 BH the board game dog game of the year tournament competition
- and some people who watched the first video weren't aware that Harrow county has added a prize to the pool as had an all in aridia
- so here is the bracket and two things I'll say one I accidentally managed to leave off one game right here I know what game it is that got left off and up against deep shelf
- so deep shelf's just going to get a buy to the next round for anybody who left it blank on their form or I don't know wrote something else in I'm just going to adjust it on their form to deep shelf so you won't get a penalty
- the other thing I'm going to do is today I'm doing all the playin rounds meaning all of these along the far edge of the bracket
- and anybody who still wants to enter I'm going to leave this open for another day or two after this video posts if you would still like to enter you can make sure you put the games in that already won I guess and I'll just start your scoring from the next round
- so some bonus points if you were already in that feels fair to me and the more the merrier is my thought on this
- now with that said as a reminder I can only send a prize to someone they're 18 years or older I don't know if that's legally true but I'm being safe
- second of all it will be free shipping in the Continental us if it is outside the continental US I will pay the cost of the shipping of what it would be from California to New York whatever that is and then you'll have to cover the rest
- so those of you that are in another country that might affect what game you pick you might not want to pick the 30 lb aridia if you win knowing that you're going to have to pay probably a lot of shipping overage and there may be customs duties or whatever again if your country has those that is not something that I will be paying
- so unfortunately because I'm in America it is a little bit leaning towards a prize for Americans though there it is possible that some the games will be inexpensive to ship and some of the and for those that are not in my personal possession right now it might be able to be shipped from a different Hub but just do keep that in mind
- whoever winds up with the highest score at the end through various tiebreakers that I have you'll get your first choice of those four prizes you'll get your first choice of those five prizes and then whoever's second will get next choice and so on and so on
- now with that said we're going to go right to it this video is only going to be the playin round of all the ones on the very far sides of the bracket
- again if you still want to get in you still have a chance you'll be at a slight point disadvantage but points ramp up as we go so you still do have a chance
- so with that said let's see what beatric is interested in from the 2024 selection and here we are with the first round debris versus kire dell
- and victory for kire Dell
- and next we have the fog and the Venice and the Venice with the victory
- and next up we have dinogenics versus mind space and mind space it is a bit of an upset you would think she would appreciate the Beast of dinogenics but she is a smart dog and goes for ly space
- and next up we have factions of Soul versus abduction and here she comes coming down and oh right for factions of Soul apparently she can be the only cute creature in this tournament abduction is out
- next up we have fake Forge versus Relic blade and here she comes coming down and immediately for real blade not interested in fak Forge looks like the indie game wins this round
- next up we have lunar versus Evergreen and no question right for lunar that makes all play with two out of two today
- and next up we have survival of the fattest for city of kings and here she comes coming down and she goes right for city of Kings once again proving she is the only cute animal allowed in this tournament
- next up we have dragons down versus Elemental stones and looks like oh oh she's not sure and she goes for Dragons Down
- next we have Earth Under Siege versus Invincible the deck building game and here she comes and looks like she's go she's going around the other side and going for invincible that is a first she mixed it up this time
- next we have AP are versus cre Manor we all know Jamie STM is a big fan of B the board game dog let's see if she returns that love and oh she does she does straight for apiary and she's looking she's looking for that other blueberry and there it is she found it little confusion there but AP moves on
- the last match of the play around we have wild Gardens versus super snipers and here she comes and wild Gardens it is which does make sense she does love outside
- and there we have it that is the end of the playing round
- that is the end of the playin round I hope you enjoyed watching it I enjoyed doing it beatric enjoyed making it
- and one last time if you want to get into the tournament you still have a chance follow the links down in the description to get your brackets in
- you will find that the submission folder is completely empty or would be almost empty right now because all the people who are already in I've moved them into another folder so they get their bonus points
- all right there you have it folks as always if you enjoyed this video please like subscribe share maybe become a channel member
- as always thank you so much for watching have a wonderful wonderful day

Quotes (from this video)
- Still just don't really like the newest edition of War Cry or sorry not War Cry, Killteam.
- It seems like it's not about trying to kill the other guys. It seems like it's more about just like it doesn't seem like a war game.
- There's also a lot of tokens to keep track of and stuff like that and that seems to get even worse in um Shatterpoint.
- Infinity rules are free.
- This is the essentials start here box and it's like 40 bucks and it comes with six models, three per side. It comes with six dice. Evidently, there's a ruler in there. There's card stock or cardboard chipboard like uh terrain, printed terrain. There's a card stock mat. Uh, there's cards. There's also the fancy book about how to get started and all that stuff. And uh, it just seems like it's a really good deal.
- Just started playing Notorious, which is really easy solo RPG. Basically a Star Wars bounty hunter uh hunting targets on a planet based on Ronin.
- Uh subscribe to Vince Venturella on YouTube. Vince Venturella and Sam Lens. Sam Lens artwork. I would definitely subscribe to both of them.

Quotes (from this video)
- it is a crime against somebody that this game has not been just been picked up because people that have played this game, I still have the game and and you know, they love it.
- overrated, I'm going to probably get hated for this is I'm just going to say Magic the Gathering.
- it really elicits a lot of the interesting feelings of the movie.
- Now Urban Sprawl is like a city building game. Like think of SimCity or something like that. But, it's a little bit more I would say mean, but the players aren't really mean to each other.
- But, the combat everything else that happened in that round and in previous rounds and what might happen in the next round informs that moment of fight, that moment of conflict.
- it abstracts it in such a compact way that everything else in the in the system is is important and that's what actually where the combat is. So, the fight isn't where you think it is.
- it really just got me into the hobby, like learning about mechanics, reading reviews and all of that and then like really sitting with the game strategically and thinking about stuff
- his boards are seamless. Like it looks like an actual landscape and then the spaces are there as opposed to like, you know, drawing a border or a box.
- but they're they're written the best I've ever seen a like piece of flavor text or a paragraph written in the board game space
- Tales of the Arthurian Knights. It's beautiful game. The reason this is the top one for me is because the the level of care and craft that goes into the story entries
- they're written the best I've ever seen a like piece of flavor text or a paragraph written in the board game space.
- I will lose myself in the paragraph and feel like, oh this is like a good snippet from some ancient tale or something written in the 50s or whatever, you know, and or the 1800s.
- Rangers of Shadow Deep, which has been like my number one game for the last couple of top 50s that I did.
- it's a solo co-op miniature skirmish game that has a really vast expansive narrative campaign.
- It gives me that D&D sort of taste cuz it's a D20 system and it's very like miniature scape world building type of thing.
- it's just great. It's it gives you the chance to just play with all of your toys and play with all of your your terrain and your models and your your creative thinking, your world building cuz you can still kind of be a game master for yourself because the the game lays out like a narrative thing and then there's some like deck of card things that sort of change up the scenarios if you play them more than once. And so there is sort of a game master there, but the game master's kind of like left the table by the time you get there. They're gone. They gave you the outline and then you're there to kind of game master and play at the same time.
