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

Don't have the patience for full playthroughs so I usually watch 3-Minute Board Games. This guy from New Zealand does reviews of games in 3-4 minutes. That's his whole schtick!
He does a good job explaining the basic rules of the game and his thoughts on it in a very succinct manner.
I can usually get a pretty good feel for if I'll like a game or not after watching one of his reviews and I've discovered a lot of lower visibility gems I normally wouldn't have otherwise considered from his channel!
