I had an epiphany recently - why must I always talk about new games when there are so many older games which deserve a spotlight. But I wanted to do it in a way that is still interesting and useful to those who have already heard of that game.

So, starting with Bohnanza, here is the first (possibly last!) video celebrating a modern classic, telling the history behind the game, and sharing some "if you like this" recommendations.

I truly hope you like it, because I'd like to make more. Game suggestions are welcome.

Actually yours,

Love this new concept, great first entry as well. Makes me happy once more to recently have discovered and now support your work. You recommend the joy of playing games, and not just the next big thing. Camp Wildfire, the problem with sequels, pub and travel games; they have all been so helpful and fun to watch! Thank you. This video also made me remember Bohnanza is in fact the first game I bought from my own pocket money, which got me into modern board/card games as a teenager!

Wow, that's so cool! You clearly had great taste even as a teenager. Really glad you're enjoying the videos lately. More in this vein coming, for sure.
