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!

It’s pretty cool that people were playing board games all the way back to the Dawn of civilization.

I did not expect to sit through that entire video in one sitting completely enthralled but here we are. I also didn't expect Tom Scott to be upstaged by someone in a video in terms of entertainment and playing for the camera, but I guess even he is no match for a literal wizard.

Great watch, and really makes me want to buy one of these boards!

That was really cool. I love the different way of using dice to end up with a distribution curve, rather than a linear distribution of results when you roll!
