Do you watch playthrough videos to evaluate games? (sh.itjust.works)

When I consider a game for buying, I look for playthrough videos, more than reviews. Do you do the same thing, and what are your favorite channels?

I don't have the patience for playthrough videos. I usually try to find a text review and read the parts where the reviewer talks about the general feel of the game, what they like and what they don't like. If I find the concept interesting, the art good, and the cons not too bothersome, I go for it.

Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!
