Quick Video Reviews of Board Games

7.00

These Reviews are geared towared college students and new gamers. I don't go into depth on rules but usually summarize them and if people are interested I encourage them to log onto boardgamegeek for more info.

Over the past 6 months these reviews have aired over our local television station KBVR TV CH.26. The show has had a fairly good viewership due to the fact that we mostly review video games while boardgame reviews piggy back onto the huge video game following (I think boardgames are far superior even though I love to play video games aswell

)

I hope you guys enjoy them.

Great review, it made me really want to buy the game. I think it looks like something even my wife would enjoy.

TTFN,

Very nice, very clear introduction. Intrigued by the ending though...

I think they changed the rounding rules from what the rulebook says. :shake:

I'm very impressed! As a review, I got to see 'inside the box', heard about the play of the game, and got your impressions. Nicely done!

This was my favorite review. You could really see the game pieces, and the camera wasn't panning so much. Great job, and another game I must get...

TTFN,

Great review
I just got Ticket to ride PC Game and your review was almost as good as the "bonus" CD that came with the PC Game. I really liked seeing the size of the units and the layouts of the board. Who has this game and how do they like it?
I think my 6yr old son would just love this game. He enjoys Ticket to ride and is crazy about Stratego which he just started playing about a month ago. I am thinking about getting this one for his 7th B-day.

This is a great game for all ages and people, even my girlfriend likes this game because it's easy to play and games last no longer than an hour.

Right on Stefan! Great job! I had an idea about making videos of games regarding rules of the game. But, it'd be more as a hobby versus any type of commercial profit (I know, this isn't commercial profit). But, sometimes people would prefer to watch and hear the rules that way versus reading off a piece of paper or rules booklet. Anyway, major kudos on this and job well done!

This is a really great little feature. The clips are informative and fun: the scripts are clean and crisply delivered, the visual illustration of game components and play very good. Very good job and thanks for listing them.

Great stuff. I'm looking for it now, but maybe I should just ask... do you guys have an RSS feed for this? I'd like to get the videos via FireAnt like I do with Board Games with Scott.

I found the feed! Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/rss/user/SStignei/videos.rss

There's a problem, though, I think it's on YouTube's end of things. Subscribing via FireAnt doesn't automatically download the video, it downloads a kind of "shell" of the video. To watch, I think it's still probably best to just go to the YouTube site: http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=SStignei

Maybe you guys would consider posting your videos to Vimeo or Blip.tv so iTunes and FireAnt users could subscribe to your videos? That is, assuming you're planning to release them semi-regularly.

Good work overall!
