Great tips here! A great video for people new in the hobby (or for people who just want good reminders of those early tips that we sometimes forget about when trying to help new gamers).

@RubyRevolution2015 Год назад

A most welcome video! I have found that many modern games expect players to spend a considerable amount of time learning and revisiting the rules. This can be an off-putting hurdle for many people who thought that they could join the hobby by choosing an interesting looking game with the expectation of playing as soon as they open the box. Some game designers are now actively working to create an easier onboarding experience with innovative tutorials (such as Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion). I recommend choosing such a game if this has been a pain point for you or the people that you would like to play with. Once you play a few well constructed games, the mechanisms and rule types start to become more familiar.

Seriously awesome video, the try before you buy tip has led me down a rabbit hole looking for ways to play games on my wishlist. tabletopia, board game arena, and tabletop simulator have been excellent resources

@khiarastales2091 Год назад

Thank you for making this video. This could be helpful for anyone in my circle or family who might be interested in this hobby. I've been in this hobby for just 2 years. It feels like discovering a brand new world. At first I'd just buy some cheap boardgames, play BGA, or printing out PnP games to try a boardgame. But thankfully, the hobby community in my country is generous enough to give some games for free or offer games to be traded.

I had never clicked on More on BGG, good to know! Thanks! 😊

Catan looks plain, but it was so engaging and easy to learn at the game group. It has many mechanisms that are present in other games.

G'day friends What are some of your tips for anyone who is new to the modern board gaming hobby? Write your tips below and share your helpful hints. This is a safe space to chat Cheers Danny :)

TIPS: 1. Watch videos online of the ones you are interested in. 2. Don't buy whatever you just came across with, if you have the chance to watch a video or try it on a friend's table... go ahead!!! Ask as many questions you have. Remember mechanic and dynamic don't meet your expectations sometimes. 3. Visit Game Board Shops with a friend, then... alone... You and your friend might have different taste. This is a way to find the perfect type for you, evaluating board games with friends and alone. 4. Not all groups work the same. You can have party game friends, euro game friends, ameritrash game friends... so evaluate if purchasing a game can work for you, not your friends cause at the end of the day this new board game will remain at your home. 5. Don't believe what BGG says... it could be rated as the worst board game; however, it could be the number one for you! 6. Lean on the mechanic you feel more comfortable with, but not forget to try other options. 7. Download the rulebooks of the games you are behind. They are free and they can help you to understand your doubts and if the game is made for you. 8. Try at least once a solo game board. Playing with yourself is something can make you feel fearful. On the other hand, it can make you understand what you need.

Thanks for explaining BBG! I'm not a beginner but found the site to be overwhelming! I know what I'll be doing tonight 😅

@BoardGameSanctuary Год назад

yes! its a very handy feature when browsing the site!

@Perchpole 11 месяцев назад

Great info but I wish you’d name the games we got a peek of during the video. That plant game in particular looked interesting!

@BoardGameSanctuary 11 месяцев назад

Yes. I'm sorry. It was an oversight. The plant game is called Planted by Phil Walker Harding. I will remember to put labels in the future. Let me know if there were any other games you wanted to know more info about.

@masan.4211 Год назад

So good, Danny! I actually felt understood. I'm sure a lot of newbies (like me) will find these series very helpful! Can't wait for more videos. :)

@BoardGameSanctuary Год назад

yes more beginner videos in the works!

@BoardGameSanctuary Год назад

Thank you! I am so glad you liked it!

@Naru-Maki Год назад

Another great video!

@terry3733H 11 месяцев назад

it's common to play video games solo (before online social gaming exploded)...surprisingly BG solo is viewed as weird 😅

@sherlockhomeless7138 Год назад

Wow, thanks so much for pointing out the option of 'fans also like'. That's very useful.

@unlimitedrabbit Год назад

I would point out that this is a video for beginners and the tip is for those unfamiliar with BGG.

@sherlockhomeless7138 Год назад

@@unlimitedrabbit Sorry, did I sound sarcastic? I meant it. For me it's useful :)

@unlimitedrabbit Год назад

@@sherlockhomeless7138 D'oh! My apologies. 😔 There's so much sarcasm out here in RU-vid Land that I jumped to the conclusion.

Buying games based on rating is chump's work

great

@johns6177 8 месяцев назад

Useful video. Thank you

@BoardGameSanctuary 8 месяцев назад

You are most welcome!

@terry3733H 11 месяцев назад

I check ratings with comments, status "own" vs "previously own". I'm wary of 8-9 rating for upcoming games -- anticipation does not translate to good game play 😅

@conradledebuhr1765 11 месяцев назад

What is the game @ 5:58? I'm getting into board games (as one might be able to guess since I'm watching this video) and that looks like the perfect thing for my girlfriend and I (She's a gardener) to try.

@BoardGameSanctuary 11 месяцев назад

Its a gorgeous gateway game called 'Planted' by Phil Walker Harding. You can get it from Target if you live in the US or you can get it on Amazon. :)
