I have twin boys who have played a lot of board games, and I've made video overviews for some of the games they've played. Here is a video compilation of many of the games they played (by the rules) when they were 4 years old. I've also made a list of 5 of their favorites. Check out videos from other years too!

I have twin boys and I've been documenting the games they play at different ages, starting at age 2! Here is a video compilation of all the games they played (by the rules) when they were 2 years old. I've also made a list of 5 of their favorites. Check out videos from other years too!

Do you want to learn how to play 18xx games? This is a quick and comprehensive video that teaches you how to set up and play Shikoku 1889, which is my go-to game for introducing new players to the genre of 18xx games. The game and upgraded money cards were provided by the publisher Grand Trunk Games.

I received a review copy of Tragedy Looper: New Tragedies. Tragedy Looper is one of my favorite games of all time, but does the reprint do it justice? I read through the rulebooks and components (minus the spoilers) of both games to compare the versions in this video! Read my written comparison for more details & photos.

When my twins were a little over 2 years old, they started playing some board games by the actual rules! Before that, I had introduced them to board games and they liked playing with the pieces. I blogged about some of those experiences in my Training Games series. But when they started playing games by the rules, I started making overview videos of each game we've played. Here's the playlist on YouTube of all the videos I've made about children's games. I've also got pages linked below with compilations and all the overview videos grouped by how old my kids were when they first played the game by the rules. Those pages also have list videos of 5 of their favorites each year.

In 2020 I started getting into print-and-play (PnP) games, specifically ones that are available for free. These are games where the files (rules and components) are made available online for you to print out at home and play! Sometimes you'll need to provide things like dice and counters, but most board gamers have some of those! I've made overview videos of a bunch of the games I played. Most/all of the games are available for free to print and play (or they were at the time I made the videos), and they're also playable solo. Here's the playlist on YouTube of all the videos I've made about free PnP games. The links to each overview video in the playlist are also below, grouped by type. Here's also a video on how I make PnP games.

Additionally, I made a list of some of them that I felt were worth it to print and play as a beginner to PnP!
