From Bandpass Design, the Dresden Gaming Table is a purpose built table to facilitate tabletop games. I've had my table for over a year and I wanted to share my thoughts.

Pax Pamir 2nd Edition Promotional Video Demo
spamton we know its u😭🙏🙏 stop tryna be slick
Board Game Bliss just dropped the price from $50 to $22! I was hesitant at the original price, but it looks like way more bang for the buck now. A must buy. Excellent video. Very easy to understand, without getting bogged down in the fine details. It moved along very smoothly.
Good deal!
Nitpick 1:51. Opponents card has a combined value of 7.
No ego and concise. Thank you. 🙏
How do I buy it?
Super video highlighting a terrific game.
Could the narrator please slow down his explanation of the game?
Excellent explanation👌
is this the exact same game as the one called "King's Tricktakers" ?
No they are different, but related. KINGs Tricktakers had a more granular draft.
I have the old Ravensburger edition and it's indeed a fantastic game! I would love to buy this new edition for the small box size! But I can't seem to find it anywhere...
If you are in the US, Tanuki Game sometimes has copies in stock
I always liked how John Clouds and Small Box Games prefers to do a 10 day crowdfund over a more ostentatious campaign. I have Reign of War Omega edition and also the Kolossal Edition (Fires in the East). It is interesting to see what game intentions are prioritized in each iteration! Interestingly, he bought back the rights to the Omen IP this year so that he can solo-publish again! I feel like Small Box Games is the cream of the crop of "indie" board game publishing
I really love that you're producing these great looking videos and showcasing lesser appreciated games that might not have gotten a chance to get an appraisal of this quality! Have you considered doing a behind the scenes video to show your filming process? Some of these shots are really interesting!
Thanks for watching. I haven't really considered that. I wish I had more time for it.
Just discovered your channel as a new fan of board games, especially city building board games. I'm astonished at the production quality of your videos and the thoroughness of your reviews. Subscribed!
Another must for you to check out is TOKYO TSUKIJI MARKET great game imo!
Those legs just look like they are going to shatter after a few months. I much prefer the modular gaming table from Wyrmwood. It feels so much sturdier and secure, but I know it is probably much more expensive. EDIT: Holy heck I thought the MGT was more expensive but this table starts at almost 4K!. I got my MGT and a ton of accessories from less than 3k. Yikes.
The design of this is much nicer than the mgt in my opinion. And I like that everything is built into this rather than a bunch of accessories
we love our Dresden! Another benefit is if you are playing a really long game and run out of time to finish, you can put the topper back on over the game and come back to it (in most cases). We are parents to a 1 year old, and this is the only way we are able to play games anymore: for an hour or two here and there after she goes down for the night which is not long enough for the big complicated games we like! And the amount of customizability means you don't really have to make any sacrifices on your home's theme or aesthetic for the sake of having a gaming table.
When are you going to review Bear Raid? :)
I'd love to, but so busy right now 😭
Great video - I subscribed
I like this review a lot. It gives me a good overview of the rules without getting too deep. And I enjoy your calm voice and concise opinion.
Thanks for watching!!
There's no compelling reason to like this game (a hodgepodge of mechanics, pasted theme, ugly art) but boy, do I like it. Just the stress of trying to put it all together
I'm hoping another publisher picks this up for broader distribution. My wife loves Uwe games and I'd love to try this one.
Great review! How would you rank the Uwe games you played? Especially interested in your 2 player experiences. Thanks!
Ooh, that's a toughie. I think I still hold Agricola at the top then it would be Le Havre and Ora & Labora fighting for second place. And a special mention for Bohnanza. Thanks for watching!
@@BottomShelfBG Just discovered your channel, already viewed a couple of your reviews. Superb quality, good job. :)
This was a great video subscribed!
Solid review, man! Potsto Man has been a hit for me. I'd one ofthose i considered chasing down an old copy of for a while, so I'm glad it's back in print.
@@DTChrisYi now I just need the money and the power. That's how this board game video thing works, right?
Nice game, where can I buy it? I can't find it anywhere!
It's a great game. There was a Kickstarter campaign for a reprint earlier this year. Hopefully it will be more available once it delivers
Great game, great vid.
Thank you! Very helpful short review. I like the format.
awesome review!
Great stuff as always, Alex!!
Now I want to play it!
Let's do it!
One day this potato boy will grow up to be a potato man.
You'll always be my potato baby
Great overview and thoughts! Love the breel and the dynamic shots this time around! Some new layouts in this one!
Love the legs and design on this but dislike the leaf joining and the odd cutouts for the dice bins etc. Have you had much trouble with fluids going through the leaves of the dining table onto the gaming surface?
I love this channel. Great work, brother.
Love you more! Thanks for watching ❤️
Epic video, love the names on the scorepad
Thanks for watching!
Love it!! Such great video production, as always!!
Great review!!! Really like how it's 8 mins. Thanks for the prep!
Thank you so much for watching!
Great review!
Boardgames have really gotten so pretty. The theme isn't very exciting, but the artists did a great job of making it enticing to look at.
This channel needs at least 20k subs !
How can I buy this?
I imported it from Japan, but there will be an English reprint heading to Kickstarter later this year.
@@BottomShelfBG Whoa, this is great to hear!
Thanks for the review and the beautiful footage!
Thanks for making a fun game!
Your videos are amazing. You are my #1 favorite boardgame reviewer on youtube.
That's very kind of you. Thank you so much for watching 💖
I am in awe of your cinematography and editing
Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
I have a couple of issues with this review, and it is not about the opinions. It sounds extremely "scripted" and just read from it. Not natural at all. Also the background music doesn't help at all. So, I recommend for you to make your next reviews in a more natural way. I hope this is taken as a constructive criticism.
Fantastic review! Well shot and choreographed, and I'm very interested in this game now. That's awesome, I hadn't heard of it until now.
Thanks so much for watching!
Love this game, and I hadn't seen this production before, but it looks absolutely fantastic. Thanks very much for an excellent overview and review.
It's a gorgeous production. Thanks for watching!
was the spamton pun at the beginning intentional?
I don't know what that is. It was a quote from O, Brother Where Art Thou? Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the link to BBG!
