29.03.2023It's good but Jeff looks more holiday season
Joe Don
29.03.2023I am so thrilled that y'all mentioned smile! It is such a great introductory game into modern board and card games. I took it with me to Thanksgiving dinner and introduced it to people who were not into board gaming at all and they really enjoyed it!
I like a lot of the ideas and maybe I'm just a little bit slower than the average bear. On my list for this Christmas is creature comforts but I was talking to some friends of mine last night and I feel like it's definitely a little more thinking than it looks. Admittedly it is adorable but I don't think I would want to give it to anyone under the age of 10. Just my opinion. I've also only played it once but I absolutely adore it!
I also bought ready set bet and played it for the first time last night and everyone had a good time.
Hope to see you all at pax unplugged!

29.03.2023How easy will it be to find well balanced wooden dice? I've never looked into it but it seems like it could be difficult
Brian B
29.03.2023Is the solo version of Skulls of Sedlec an expansion you have to buy, or is it included in the base game?
Dominik Garbauer
28.03.2023I can really recommend State of Playing when it comes to boardgame art. Really beautiful stuff.
Jon Tripp
28.03.2023{reads title} "I bet #1 is an oodie."
Nailed it.

28.03.2023Love the festive outfits
Whitey Senior
28.03.2023It’s 37 deg celsius here. Don’t think I’ll be needing an oodie anytime soon.

28.03.2023Well, you can tell Jamie edited this video, the "foster the Jeff" was so small lol. Great video thank you
Alyssa Scanlon
28.03.2023Go Bills!!!
Kyle Hynes
28.03.2023What a great holiday gift guide video. Had me dying in knots a couple times. Much love from across the pond , Newfoundland Canada
Richard Keeling
28.03.2023Jeff making me want a remix of “Great Balls of Fire” and “Wipeout”. Where the DJs at 😂😂😂
Nick Creson
28.03.2023You forgot to mention that Tussie Mussie is from Elizabeth Hargrave, of Wingspan fame.
Vesper Von Lichtenstein
27.03.2023Well, my husband is getting a long list from me.
For younger kids I want to also suggest "Hiss" such a fun color matching game. Its super simple but I use it in my 4-5 year old after school classes.
And maybe it's a cultural thing but Cash 'n Guns just… doesn't hit me well as a American in the education system. >.>;
Scott McFarlane
27.03.2023SOOO glad you played OucH! soo good my 6 year old LOVES It! Woodworm ugghhh….to expensive for no reason, you can see that on their web site. They are not about gaming, just wood working with CNC ugghhh
Scott McFarlane
27.03.2023longshot the dice game is better then Ready set bet. AND WAY CHEAPER and no app
Dennis Donetti
27.03.2023I have had a lot of success with key to the kingdom and dragomino with my 6 year old. I would recommend either of them for a kids gift.
Listan1
27.03.2023Really great list. Love how you have so many non-board game items on your list, which were all super ideas. Reminded me to ask my in-laws for a dice tray!
Justin Walsh
27.03.2023Had to laugh at the mention of a nice deck of cards. My further exploration into board games started with my deck of card collecting hobby.
Leanne Silvestro
27.03.2023I backed the deck of cards on the wonderlands war kickstarter because I wanted a fancy set of cards! Good call!
aaron taylor
27.03.2023Someone wanted to confirm they got the right game. They ment to text my wife but texted me. so now I get to be excited to read cloudspire getting ready for christmas.
Ryan Huff
27.03.2023I’m starting to think that Jeff is my spirit animal. I frequently have people think that I’m a grump because I cross my arms and have RBF. I can’t help it! It’s just my face! I’m a very happy person inside, I just don’t always outwardly show it.
thecultofpop
27.03.2023Fancy decks of cards are great, but if you start to collect, you end up not wanting to play with them. A good looking bicycle deck is great for playing many games with.

24.03.2023The Steeped Games dice trays are nice. Got a train themed one at SHUX, perfect for Loose Caboose!
thecultofpop
24.03.2023Highly recommend game art! If you've seen any videos on my channel, I had my own canvas art made and everyone who sees them really likes them. Made jumbo sized tiles for Carcassonne, Lanterns, Karuba, Roll for the Galaxy, Alhambra, and Cacao.
Daniel Gossman
24.03.2023Board Game Merchandise would be great if retailers offered Tall sizes for their shirts otherwise it results in the shirt shrinking too much after one washing or plumbers crack anytime you bend over… no one wants either of those things to happen
Ted Howell
24.03.2023oooh I just bought my wife an oodie for Christmas so I was excited to see how cozy y'all look
Leonardo Alese
24.03.2023Thank you for the good vibes you two sprinkle! And for the game suggestions 😉
James Brazeal
24.03.2023Maybe it is a Fat shark 🦈 🤔 Jeff. I got watercolor art from Clementine from Floriferous.
Michael Darling
24.03.2023So many interesting categories I never would have thought about. Thanks for the fun video with ideas way out of the box that my wife would love! You've expanded my brain!
Matt Stow
24.03.2023My suggestions for Stocking Stuffers/Secret Santa/For the Kids would be: Coloretto, Crossing, Dobble, Exploding Kittens, No Thanks, Point Salad, Railroad Ink Challenge, Regicide, Super Mega Lucky Box & Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza
Diana Davenport
24.03.2023Hi. Thank you for your entertaining (and informative) content. I never miss an episode. And thank you for introducing me to the Oodie. I’m giving them as Christmas gifts to members of my family and was even inspired to write a song to accompany the gift, “Have Yourself an Oodilicious Christmas.” I’m sure it will be a big hit 😂. Thanks again and Happy Holidays.
