      i'm not a coffee drinker but i have a friend who is...gave them the site and the code which they ended up using...and many worlds sent them a personalized video thanking them for their order...never heard of any company doing that before...certainly makes them memorable

      Well this explains why I didn't see meeples in the coffee bag being ground up. I was expecting to see that with the punchline of you pouring a large cup of coffee and calling it a "Meeple Grande".

    4:19 I went with you on that journey of the mysterious "red" cube. I was there for the confusion at the beginning. I was there for the height of potentially finding its matching game. I was there when I saw that it wasn't the same red cube. I felt that pain. When you said "damn", I too said damn. Such a moving piece of work that you have done.

  • @tzgardner

    Brilliant video! If my shelf of shame had all the games I taught a rule wrong for... well, I would just call it my board game collection!

    The real reason that Calico belongs on a shelf of shame is that the publishers apparently know that cat's exist but don't know what they look like. Every time I see that cover, I wonder why it's not named "Tabby."

    NGL, you had me in the first half. I was like hol' up, how can you possibly have 7 Wonders: Duel on your shelf of shame. It is like the best 2 player only game ever. Clearly you aren't the gamer I thought you were if you never played 7 Wonders: Duel. Turns out I was played and unlike some of the friends mentioned in this vlog (I assume) I don't mind it. :)

    A game which I lent the rulebook to a friend to get them excited to play the game with me and then I moved and they never returned it, and now I forget how to play :(
    The boxes for Dominion and all it's expansions, but they're just empty boxes because my brother took all the cards, says he "plays the game more than me," except for Alchemy, nobody ever plays with Alchemy :( :(
    All of my Warhammer 40k miniatures from when I was in college. It was a phase...

    At the end of our game night playing black orchestra during the critical die roll (regarding the killing of Hitler) one dice (the deciding dice) rolled under the sofa and we were too exhausted and afraid to decide if we roll again or if we look if the dice under the sofa was a success or not.
    To this day we didn't look and every time someone is cleaning under the sofa or tries to move the sofa for some reason everyone is screaming STOP and we say as an insider joke "don't wake up Hitler".
    Maybe some day we are ready to look if we played 3 hours just to fail on the last die roll or if the whole game night was a success. But for the moment we are just cowards and decided to "look the other way".
