The amount of work you put into your videos is astounding! And the brilliance of it is how you mesh humour with characters and still offer a super clear explanation of the core mechanics of each game you are reviewing! I have been binge watching your videos since I discovered your channel. In my opinion you take the number ONE spot in board game reviews!
OMG the puns in this video are AMAZING! !!
Yes! They were pun-derful !
I think we now know where all the puns from "No Pun Included" have gone to...
Hav very funny, Booth of you.
I really like videos like this, The genre specific options you give are always some of my favorites and I appreciate the time you take to explain the strengths and weaknesses of each game to help us make well informed gaming choices. Cheers!
Thank you for your comment, I'm glad you enjoy these videos.
I'm glad little Timmy showed up again, he's always very entertaining. A great run through and list as always. Well done!!
I can't believe how you keep dishing out witty and funny videos. I hope you never stop making these. Also whitechapel sounds great!
Love all your videos and really apreciate the effort you put in making them so enjoyable. thanks a lot!
Your witty banter (with yourself) is hilarious. Keep the videos coming. Oh, and I actually do like the board game content as well.
This is a refreshing change to the geeky reviews I'm used to, it's clear a fair bit of work goes into these.
Fair play, keep up the good work!
Awesome video John!! Your opinions on certain games is truly brilliant... love the different characters in this one.
With so many board game reviewers out there, it's really amazing how you manage to stand out. Good work!
Love your hilarious take on boardgame reviews. Looking forward to the next one!
I love these megareviews. Keep up the good work!
Great video, I love hidden movement and I hadn't heard of specter ops before, looks like a ton of fun. Keep up the good work I always enjoy your videos!
really like your comments, especially witty introspection of games. keep up the good work Jon!
Another great presentation. I had not considered a hidden movement game prior to this, but now I am contemplating White Chapel.
I really enjoy the production you put into these videos! Keep it up!
Also, :-) Letters from Whitechapel would make a nice addition to my small collection! It's a genre I've never player before.
Great video and topic. I like that you got outside. Definitely going to search these games down.
I really like the sound of Letters from Whitechapel. Great video and well done wearing the Timmy outfit on a bus. That alone should net you a 10,000 subscribers.
+pgtmg624 Yes please! It was the selfie in front of St Paul's Cathedral that had the most onlookers. There's a reason I've never filmed outside before!
I just played Letters to Whitechapel for the first time on Table Top Simulator on Steam and it was a lot of fun. I was my first introduction to hidden movement games. I'm considering buying the board game copy. Great Video.
I like your sense of humour, all the different characters you invented and their hilarious banter as well as the many (pop)cultural references you make. In short: I enjoy your videos a great deal!
Location shots!! Sweet! Keep up the great work!
Always wanted to try Letters from White Chapel! I love your videos, they must take so much time to create.
+Dennis Luk Yeah, this one took a while. Roughly 10 days :/
Love watching your videos in the morning before work.
great and fun review! was hoping to see Last Friday in the review but letters from whitechapel is surely on my wish list now!
Hello.
I've been following you since the last few days and I'm really glad I found this channel. I love all your videos, and I really appreciate the effort you put into each and every single one of them. It must be a lot of work putting these scripts together, but please keep them comming. You seem like an amazing guy and I love your sense of humour.
I'm a really big fan of this genre, and I recently bought Letters from Whitechapel. Easily one of my favourite board games.
Thank you for being amazing.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a nice comment. I really appreciate your positive feedback, it's comments like yours that make me want to keep making videos.
Actualol Timmy for president
😁
Woo! Great Video! Love the on-location shots :)
Love your videos, can't wait to see what you make next!
Dear Boss,
thanks for this vid, I'm sure your humor will bring more people into the hobby.
Well made and entertaining as always.

I think this was cleverly written and entertaining. A lot of effort going in to making all of these - well done.
"Thou shalt not learn... it's in the US Constitution--at least I think it is... I haven't read it." And the "kiddie fiddler..." You're videos are hilarious! I've been considering my Christmas game acquisitions based on your videos. Thanks for your humorous analysis of these games.
You are dangerously good at making me want more board games, even when I know I don't have enough time for the games in my collection alone! Thank you for your wonderful content!
Excellent video based on this theme. I've been thinking about getting a hidden movement game. I've picked up games based on your previous reviews and have yet to be disappointed. Thanks!
Spector Ops was my first hidden movement game and I have loved playing it. I am hoping to try others you have mentioned soon. Nuns on the Run has me the most intrigued. I think my family would really enjoy it.
Another great video, not had a chance to play Letters but played Scotland Yard on the iPad/iPhone with the Mrs before now. She seems to like the hidden movement games. Recently got a copy of Nuns on the Run but not got it to the table yet.
I have to say, i haven't really had much experience with hidden movement games, but the experience i have had with them is pretty entertaining, I recently played my first game of "Escape from Aliens", and it felt just so suspenseful, up until the point i realized I was the only player anywhere 4, and had managed to convince everyone, mainly through some very lucky card drawing, I was on the other side of the whole map. Easily one of my favorite boardgame moments I've ever had. Great video and review, and your comedy is really good! keep up the good work!
Thanks for the video! I've played Scotland Yard (fun but a bit light) and Dracula (way too long for me) and love the idea of hidden movement but haven't found my sweet spot. White Chapel and Specter Ops look like they should be next on my list. Thanks for the give away! Very generous of you :)
I like your reviews. The way you and Shut Up and Sit Down look at games is different than dice tower and gets me to consider games I normally wouldn't.
Once again great video! Had me laughing the whole time. Spector Ops looks like a blast. My Best friend has been trying to get me to play White Chapel for a couple years now but since we live in different states it makes it difficult.
Awesome video as always. Your writing is amazing!
Nice selection of games.
Great production as always.
I like your style of video. It's informative but humorous and entertaining at the same time.
This is one of the best channels
Please make videos more often!
I've wanted to try Letters from Whitechapel for awhile now. I don't mind long games and I love the theme. Your videos are great :) very entertaining! Keep up the great work!
Love your videos! Hidden movement games are great. My favorite so far have been SpecterOps and Fury of Dracula. At some point I will need to try Letters.
really fun to watch, very nice selection of game!
Love your videos man! Keep them coming.
I really love your Sherlocks and Frank Justice.
So good to see Timmy again! I have been eyeing Whitechapel and Mr Jack for sometime. Thanks for clearing up some mystery... Half. I should be less lazy, but I have enjoyed everything you have recommended so, I trust you more.
Mr Jack is a decent 2 player game, but it's VERY different to Letters from Whitechapel. Mr. Jack doesn't use hidden movement in its truest sense, as seen in these six games. It's a much more puzzly, abstract game.
Awesome video as always! I've played letters from whitechapple. It's fantastic!
Loving watching your videos! You are always putting new games on my radar and hurting my wallet...haha! Specter ops looks the best out of all of them
Another great video, Jon. Keep it up!
I'm a fan of Scotland Yard, so it's good to see some more modern takes on the game style to try out. Thanks for the video!
Love your reviews, keep it up!
i had just learned Letters From Whitechapel last night. it's brilliantly designed. so easy to learn and to teach. i own Specter Ops and have played Fury of Dracula which are also great games.
Thanks for the reviews. Keep up the good work.
Oh no! I posted before knowing about the copy of Letters from Whitechapel! So here I am again... now for the game! (and to say that I love your channel)
Another great one, jon. Really excited about FoD. Have a copy on order.
Genius! Please continue to make these kind of videos!
I've always thought I would like more hidden movements but I've never known where to look. Thanks for the video!!!
Love seeing Great Museum Caper referenced. It's a fun (despite dated) hidden movement game, with a theme that is inoffensive and easily understood by all.
Yeah, I love the theme. In fact, I think I prefer it to all of the themes in this video, except perhaps Nuns on the Run. Rumour has it, Renovation Games will be bringing it back - I hope they bring it up to date and give us a less massive box!
Actualol That's super exciting news.
4:06 The fact that you included this joke so that the 7 people who live in Australia could guffaw just a bit too loud while watching this is why you're a bloody ripper mate. May Jon the ripper be as infamous in a hundred years as that Jack fellow who seems like a lovely bloke.
Enjoyable as always. I was expecting a few two player hidden movement games as well.
Scotland Yard was a family favourite growing up, can't wait to try out some of these newer takes on what feels like an old classic.
great video man, love your reviews.
Great reviews as always!
Yes, Letters from Whitechapel! I loved this game!! I bought it for my brother as a birthday gift and I've been wanting my own copy every since.
Loved playing Fury! Whitechapel looks like another great addition to the genre.
I've only tried a couple of these. Great video!
Another great list. Keep it up.
Thanks for the review, based on your video I bought letters from whitechapel and I can't wait to play it
Another great video! Keep up the good work!
Great review video. I'm excited to play Fury of Dracula now.
Great Video! I love the Hidden Movement Games!!!
definitely the mechanic that i never knew i wanted to play... great video as usual!!
very entertaining videos man, keep'em coming
Always love your videos!
Actualol needs to get more attention in my opinion. Board games and humour = great channel
+Watch Videos Thank you! :)
I actually-loled
Great video! Very entertaining and insightful.
With all of the hubub over Dracula when the new edition came out, it made me start looking into hidden movement. This was an entertaining and informative look into alternatives, since I really don't think Dracula would work with my game group.
Appreciate you making a video focused on Hidden Movement games. I've been into modern boardgaming for about a year and I have yet to get a game of this genre.
I'm going to try to check out fury of Dracula this weekend. Thanks for the review
These all look fun. Thanks for the video!
Dying right now at your American (?) accent. "Rat Bastaad" hah, love it.
I picked up a copy of Spector Ops a few months back and I really enjoy playing it. I feel like it balances really well between the hunters and the spy. Also playing with one secret traitor on the hunter team mixes things up in a really fun way. Its fun watching the hunters tear each other apart with suspicion trying to figure out which one of them is the traitor.
+Ian Whitley Yeah, I really want to try the traitor version again. The rules are really underwritten for it, but I love the idea.
Actualol that is true. It could use an extra page of just clarification on the rules. Although I realized after playing a game called Warrior Knights that I much prefer underwritten rules to overwritten rules, that game had pages and pages of verbose explanation for no reason and made it hard to keep track of what the actual rules were.
I have wanted a good hidden movement game for a long time now. I finally have a list of some to get!
I'm a huge fan of family board games and Ticket to Ride in particular, i will be sure to check out the others you mention in this video, thanks!
I've always enjoyed Scotland Yard, but now you mention Letters from Whitechapel it sounds so much more awesome!
"Oh, no ... church!" - LOL
Exactly!
I grew up with Scotland Yard and Clue: The Museum Caper, both of which are largely responsible (along with Sleuth) for my immediate interest in later years, when I heard that board games were in a renaissance. I own Specter Ops and Escape the blah-blah-blah-horrible-name, and I've played Whitechapel once or twice. Specter Ops is by far my favorite. It's just so tense and exhausting. With the 5-player traitor game, the tension is on both sides of the table. Great great game.
Thanks for another fantastic video. I always look forward to your next offering.
Thanks for sharing! I really want to play Specter Ops again with the traitor, it's certainly a nice twist on the genre.
I come for the games but stay for the writing. Your stuff is so entertaining!
+Ser Capelli Thank you!
Thanks for you videos. They really are entertaining.
Going out in public dressed as Timmy must have been interesting 😄
Great stuff as always!
I love your videos. This one was very informative. The only hidden movement game I've played is Nuns on the Run. Obviously, Letters from Whitechapel and Spector Ops have very different themes.
I've only played Specter Ops out of all of these, but Letters from Whitechapel looks very interesting.
Excited about the contest!
I originally was trying to decide if I wanted Letters or Fury, but now I think I need both.
Colin Mancini Fury of Dracula is one of those Games Workshop/Fantasy Flight games. And their business arrangement is ending soon, so you might want to try to pick it up sooner rather than later.
Always look forward to your videos, thank you sir.
I've still only ever tried Scotland Yard out of these, it's about the only game i had as a kid i would still play
Is it just me, or are these games extra gorgeous? Letters, Ops, Fury, and even Aliens all might be some of the most visually pleasing games I've seen.
+Stephen Hager Yeah, completely agree. The board for Specter Ops is stunning and the Whitechapel one isn't far behind. The Nuns on the Run board looks very dated in comparison.
Someone somewhere did a comparison between the Whitechapel map and a map of actual Whitechapel at the time and it is spot on! I think the mood set by the Specter board is perfect for the gameplay as is Fury. Nuns and Scotland Yard do seem dated but still enjoyable to look at (I guess I've got a thing for maps/building layouts)!
Thanks for the video(s), love the way you showcase games!
