15.09.2024I’m a teacher…I never thought to use my laminator in this way. Genius…😂
@EightRyan
04.05.2024love the laminator idea
@gottimighty
03.05.2024Like the new hairstyle 👍. To be clear, I'm referring to Jamie's, not Jeff's 😂
On a side note, have you guys heard of Toil and Troublez from Grandpa Beck's Games?? It's a card game with really nice artwork and has a similar mechanic to Town 66 as you can't have the same color next to one another and numbers must go in ascending order. Throw in a few wizards who can summon cards from opponents, "vanish" cards from other players trove, and ones who can "cloak" other cards.
It's a great little push your luck game that has replaced PUSH for me.

03.05.2024I got the UV colourful insert from Poland games / e-raptor for Lost Ruins of Arnak, and I freaking love it. Highly recommend
@reaper2r
03.05.2024new hair is 🔥
@conniepatterson6811
03.05.2024Great ✨✨ 🧡🙏🏼
@EduTerp
03.05.2024Great video!
You two look so cozy, had to get an Oodie.
Shouted you out to them as a referral.
@darbyl3872
03.05.2024Hooky is the perfect gift for almost everyone. I have 3 copies to give out for Christmas, and I may end up buying more.
Button Shy games are fun. Spaceshipped is a neat solo game by BS, along with At The Helm. Revolver Noir, Naturopolis, Tides, Skulls Of Sedlec, for 2 player BS games.
Scout is still the greatest Oink game, and it's not as thinky as Hooky, so it's actually the best gift for any level of player (in my opinion).
@mereditha4363
03.05.2024Jamie! Your haircut is sooooo super cute!!
@ms15583
03.05.2024Video ideas: a game night based only on a selection of games that you can fit in the pocket of your Oodie at the same time 😂
@runraggedrhino
03.05.2024Given the theme of this video, I totally thought Jeff's oodie was festive! It took me way too long to notice that Gengar's red eye and white grin weren't, in fact, Santa hats! 😮
@jeffa6841
03.05.2024You're recommending games you don't remember anything about? O…k….
@robertaustin6302
28.04.2024Jamie your hair looks awesome dooooood! 😊
@jessismith
28.04.2024Love the hair @Jamie. Super cute!
@jamessmith1274
28.04.2024Town 66 is similar to quirkle. I love our new dice tower. I feel like the rolls are so much better and quality. Heard you mentioned Black Fleet❤
@Arrowsmith86
28.04.2024Vagrantsong has a plushie that has components to the core game
@shinjial
28.04.2024New hair looks great, Jaime.
@sdpam3463
28.04.2024Thats a great Christmas gift list!
(Btw, beautiful hair Jamie!)
@dannyp3333
28.04.20242 seconds in what a cozy shot
@ChristinaPlans
28.04.2024I love laminator as a gift idea. I laminate everything.
@linguiststravelbug
28.04.2024Hey Jamie do you think North Pole Nightmare will make it to Canada retail pre-christmas?
@paulaperry4193
28.04.2024Jaime, Love the new do! Jeff, love the hat! Great gift suggestions!
@jacforswear18
27.04.2024I was kind of hoping this was going to be another unhinged theme list (like the Fall games) because that was a blast, but this was just a solid list of gift ideas! But I’m still anxiously awaiting what I’m sure will be an extremely creative list of games with a winter/Christmas/snow theme 😅😝
@sterlingpike
27.04.2024Stockpile is so underrated tbh 🔥
@Sreehammer
27.04.2024I played Mountain Goats and it was some dice chucking fun similar to Can't Stop with a King of the Hill mechanic – great for families!
@HomeschoolwithRachel
27.04.2024I was randomly thinking of your old booktube channel from years ago and thought, whatever happened to her? And OMG you have a gaming channel! How fun. You always made me smile 😊
@ninjac8866
27.04.2024We'll be playing Telestrations on Christmas day. There'll be 8 of us round the table and some are total non-gamers. I made Halloween themed cards which were great fun this year so I'm going to make some Christmas ones as well.
@S-May
27.04.2024👍👍❤️❤️❤️ looove your 'new' hair Jamie
@NoThankUBeQuiet
27.04.2024Oodies are just snuggies. Never owned one never will
@tyrroo
27.04.2024The sound is waaaay too low. I have a quiet home [no little kids] and even with both youtube and pc volume at max, I can barely hear you. I'm guessing that you're saying good things I would enjoy, but can't tell. 😥
Also, why are you wearing shoes? I thought you were Canadian???
@manonfire4jc
27.04.2024At the end of every video, I have to say" Later Days" in sync with Jeff 😆 🤣 😂.
@corinnajuras-tabletopsavants
27.04.2024Nana is so good, I love that the rules are on a single sheet so anyone can pick it up! For secret Santa we love giving any of the wooden gigamic games because they look good on display and nearly everyone fiddles with them when they pass by
@gcanceko
26.04.2024Gengar is also my favorite Pokémon!! 💜
@gurnblanston2848
26.04.2024I really like the laminator and game inserts ideas. Adding them to my Christmas list!
@heatherhoenig7659
26.04.2024I LOVE THE HAIRCUT! Looks super cute on you!!
@SpinierVirus
26.04.2024At GenCon this summer, my kids and I stumbled on a card game called Scram! from Bezier Games. We played a demo and bought it right away. It's easy to play, super fun and has adorable woodland animal artwork. It immediately became one of our family's favorite games. Scram! is a team game (4 or 6 players on two teams) where you try to clear out cards from your camp and your teammate(s), but most of the cards start face down (even your own). And you can't talk about those cards, so you have to play action cards to peek at them or flip them over. Oh yeah, and you can steal cards from your opponents. Or put a skunk in their camp.
@pamd9834
26.04.2024Bought my first button shy games at PAX because of recommendations from you and from Second Star to the left. They are so great!
@skylynn8217
26.04.2024Love ….LOVE the hair
@shannonpepitone4920
26.04.2024Great ideas. I got my gaming buddy upgrades and an insert!
@brianfoley1805
26.04.2024Mr. President is OUT OF PRINT right now
@getgaymin
26.04.2024I love Print & Plays, so a laminator is def high on my list (rn I just not so surreptitiously use the one at work). That, and an actual color printer. I threw my last one out in a fit of rage.
For Solo Button Shy, Jamie, you should def check out River Wild & Ancient Realm. Sooooo good
