Quotes (from this video)
  • And with it being August, it's Stacy's birthday month.
  • And with it being my birthday month, I get to pick the theme that goes on the wall.
  • So, the reason that I chose these two publishers for uh the month of August for my pick the wall month is that they are easy to get to the table, which is one of my favorite things in a game is how easy it is to get into the table, how they set up, how quickly they play, and how family-friendly are they.
  • So, the excellent to start with Charming Games. And the reason I'm giggling is because not only do I love the name of the company, Charming Games, it just kind of encapulates everything that I love about it is that they're just all so darn charming.
  • And that's Otter. And this is This is It's your favorite animal if you didn't know that by now.
  • So, that's Otter. That's one of my favorites.
  • So, we will probably have some coverage for this, um, definitely on our Instagrams, and most likely we'll do something on YouTube for this one as well.
  • And the next one that I am going to talk about is packs a lot of punch in this little tiny box. And it's kind of a thinky game for me, anyway.
  • This is a little thinky. I I didn't think of this. It's little thinky for a little box.
  • And before you say the next company with the people are paying attention behind us, they might know already.
  • Love Grandpa Beck's Games.
  • So, that game is the newest one from Grandpa Beck's and it's perfect for summer. It is the ticket booth.
  • Grandpa Beck's has been doing a lot of stories on their Instagram lately where the different members of the Beck family have been talking about their memories, what card in here brings them the best memories from like their childhood or from fairs and stuff.
  • Um, I really enjoy this game. It's 321 Countdown.
  • So, 321 Countdown, that is going to get played this month.
  • August and September are really busy for me because I put in about 12-hour days every day between getting to school and then getting back from coaching.
  • Hitting the Wall, is probably one of our favorite push your luck games.
  • And in Toil and Troubles, the push your luck element is you have a stack of cards and you're placing them down into three rows.
  • Artwork is really cute in
  • The Bears and the Bees by Grandpa Beck's Games is one of my favorite games that they make.
  • It's a color-matching tile-laying game. So, I really enjoy this one. Check it out if you haven't. It's one of my favorites.
  • So, the last game that I'm going to talk about, I saved it for last because this one Now, I say they're all my favorite, but this one really is my favorite.
  • And that's Gnome Around.
  • So there is this kind of push and pull of okay, I'm going for these eights. Do I keep trying to get this third eight so I have -8 here? It's getting awful late. Stacy's got hers almost done. Do I got to pivot here and get maybe get some lower numbers in there just so I don't end up completely screwed.
  • I love the artwork. I love how simple it is. It doesn't take up a lot of space. Um not a lot of thinking involved. Just try and get negative numbers if you can. That's all you got to do. Try and get negative numbers.
  • Um every games comes with a different recipe from Grandma Beck's kitchen.
  • Cover Your Assets right here is one of my favorite ones to play at school.
  • I just love to say it so much is roll her cowboy.
  • So we will probably get some of those games at the table but the ones that Stacy wanted on the wall are the ones we talked about so you've got all these ones hitting the wall.
