Join me each week as I take a dive into board games, old and new alike!
Each week I'll be posting a new video on a board game topic, such as: Great games to start your collection, Anticipated Games you should try, or even tips on new games to replace old classics. I will occasionally be posting "How to Play" videos, specifically focusing on games that I love, that don't seem to have a "How to Play" or are in need of an updated video.

Great Board Games, I NEVER want to play again
มุมมอง 2.1K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Here I talk about TEN board games that I really enjoyed, and I think they are GREAT.... however, I really have no desire to every play them again. Maybe there are better games out there, or just maybe the game doesn't hold me captive as it once did. For whatever reason, I'll pass on these games.

Top 10 Most Anticipated Games From 2020
This is at too low a level. You should have started at a high level then worked your way down, listening to you drone on and on about discrete details when I have no understanding of tying these details together into a strategy was a waste of my time.
Thanks for the great tutorial! I'm playing for the first time on BGA w/ a friend who's a big fan of the game and your teach. Whoah, lot of moving parts in this one!
Thank you ❤
This is a complicated game, especially with the intricate rules, the worst is: a normal battle is not described in one place (attack, agents, surviving pieces, winning king/ turning card) - thanks a lot for the effort
Must all the attackers go into the targeted location? (Nobody in battle can go home?)
The kickstarted version is better with the minis
Great tutorial
Thanks for a great video! Is there any chance you have a summary of all the rules you display (in red) in the video? They seem to reflect the situation fairly well
He said "the Kingdom of Aragorn." This is not Lord of the Rings.
That mic stand on top of that player board... such chaos
Thanks - this was super-helpful!
that was a lot of help. thank you.
Nice to see the little Sheburashka on the miniature 😉👍🏼
in a 2 player game i can choose that this game we are getting 1 or 2 florins for starting trade route?
your game, do whatever you want
What a great video .. thx..
Thanks for the easy teach and tutorial. You explained it so well. Subbed
I thought when a farm was damaged it downgraded from 2 production to 1 production. Destroyed if already at 1 production. Then the granary lets us upgrade or reinstate if destroyed as it were.
thx for the recommendations
Thank you!
Great tutorial! Big thank you!
Very clear and sharp explanation! Well done!
Excellent vid. Thks
This was a great help. Thanks.
32:44 Regime change: "If you cause a Regime Change in an Empire that has Repressed Tokens, even if they did not fight in a Battle, you may move any or all of the Repressed Tokens from the Empire Square onto its Map Location (into either empty Cities for Rooks or Knights, or into its empty Borders for Concessions)." - so IT IS AN OPTION (YOU MAY, NOT MUST). 33:30 also You can place a Pawn between Papal States and Holy Roman Empire. It is important if You want to do a peasant revolt.
Great tutorial!!!! Please make a how to play SOLO video!
What an excellent video tutorial. It cleared a lot of the confusion I had with the rulebook. You've got a subscriber, sir !.
Amazing list and videos!! Thanks!
Why Cheburashka is on preview?
What an excellent explanation of the rules! Thanks
I've gone through probably hundreds of board game tutorials on the TH-cams, but your tutorial is easily the best tutorial for any game of this level of complexity that I've ever seen. Liked and subscribed, and hope you are able to produce more.
Great video
Perfect explanation. I didn’t realize that I get my wall blocks back when I upgrade or get damaged
Is he dead?
Amazing video, hands down the best Learn to Play for Pax Ren 2.0
Great tutorial, thank you
This was an excellent explanation and I feel ready to play tonight, thanks!
One of the best how to play videos I’ve seen
One of the very few physical Pax Ren 2E tutorials on TH-cam. Great job.
I seem to have been living under the stone because I have never heard of this game but, After the Empire seems to play exactly the same as The great wall, except instead of everyone defending the same wall each player has his own castle to defend, that brings me to the next question ... Because each player has his own castle what is the wait/downtime like? do players have to wait long for their turn in the combat phase, also is each section of the combat resolved for all players at once? I am considering of getting this game but people in my gaming group hate games with long downtime, and because of that, For example, even though everyone loves The Euthia no one wants to play it because the player's combat turn is so long that 3rd and 4th players literally fall asleep waiting for their turn... I am also not clear on movement bonus tokens, is it one token per 1 solder to move or one token can move/ re-arrange any amount of soldiers? Great video thank you for taking the time to make it ...
54:07. Why is the attacking knight lost when there is no defender? I thought it was 1 for 1 loss in a battle. This should be a a win for the knight with no losses.
Great video! I would enthusiastically recommend a video for solo play and/or a video on strategy based on your experience.
Thank you very much for the tutorial! I found it very informative and helpful!
53:54. The word is ‘lose’ not ‘loose’.
Great teach. Lots of inspiration from Watch it Played it seems 😉
This was awesome! Thank you!
Very good explanation
Ethnos, good but kinda ugle game that deserves a second edition with updated graphics
Seeing those pictures, kinda feel like playing Troyes again
Thanks, this solved some questions I had from the rulebook
Warhammer Chaos in the old world > Inis > Blood Rage > Rising Sun
Better alternative for Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition? Race for the galaxy! So the newer game was replaced by an older one for me. Why? Read this review on BGG: "Simultaneously below my hopes yet almost exactly what I expected (Comparisons to RftG + a Solo perspective)"
