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!

Nope, still sounds too daunting and overwhelming for me haha. But that's a great video though, I haven't watched much board game reviews since Inside The Box got cancelled. And I guess I don't play much board games in general anymore these days anyway.

Daunting? I've taught go to dumb-as-rocks people in 5 or 10 minutes. Playing Go is simpler than anything.

Now, playing well requries a lifetime of dedication, but nobody's throwing you in a pit with a grandmaster. There are people of all levels in https://online-go.com/

Classic Shut Up Sit Down is the best. I also loved Inside the Box. Modern SU&SD is good, but Matt and Tom are just no Paul and Quinns.
