A board game channel with a video every couple of Mondays.
The first Monday I do a Top 10 based around a different board game topic, a review-style vid, convention coverage or something else board game related.
On the third Monday I release a 'how to play' video which you can use as a rules refresher or as a rules overview rather than a rulebook replacement, they're pretty quick but very concise!
Also, check out my Insta ( jestatharogue) and Threads (www.threads.net/@jestatharogue) to stay up to date with what's happening with the channel.
I also blog at jestatharogue.com where I review a game every Tuesday.
Enjoy and remember to like, share and subscribe and of course, leave a comment!
Thanks!

1 - As a refresher, if you haven’t played the game for a while and need a reminder of the rules

How to play Dead by Daylight: The Board Game
So, basically you just love terra mystica
Yeah pretty much. Don’t get to play it much anymore sadly.
But how do you know if someone has a specific card or not? Or is it just called out in the group?
Just ask for it, ‘Anyone have a Popcorn?’ It can get hectic :)
Nice video! This game really sounds like something I would enjoy. Dungeon theme and fast gameplay. NOICE!
Thanks! Have a look at Welcome to the Dungeon and Rumble in the Dungeon too!
Nintendo should make a Mario Kart board game, I think it would be pretty fun. Same with Mario Party.
There are some Mario Kart clones (good and bad) and Party Panda Pirates was inspired by Mario Party but I agree, official Nintendo ones would be great.
What is your favourite board game? ⭐️
Hi Beth! It’s Terra Mystica!
Hello, ive lost a piece of the advanced building tile, much appreciated if you could kindly answer if I could still play the game with one missing tile piece <3 Thanks!
Hi. Yeah should be fine!
@@JestaThaRogue Thank you very much for your swift reply
Massive fan of Saboteur2 for a large group. might be one of the most fun games I've played that's simple enough for folks who aren't super into boardgames, but with enough strategy to keep it interesting, and super interactive with each other.
I played too much of the first one back I the day :)
@@JestaThaRogue oh man, the first one is good, the second one is fantastic
Thanks!
No problem!!
Great video once I Slowed playback speed to 0.75!
Thanks Franz
We were SO lost reading the rules and this saved us, thank you so much 🙏🙏
Thanks Carolanne!
What a complex board game 😔 . We tried many times to play and we got bored of trying to understand it!
It is more complex than it needs to be! Get cards with symbols, move up on the matching symbol tracks. That’s all it is but the way you get cards and score is a little odd.
No through the ages in the entire list though it should be number 1? Its the only game, save maybe sentinels of the multiverse that is actually better to play in pc than in a table.
Not according to Steam :)
@@JestaThaRogue Thats what I get for skipping the intro, lol
😂
Thank you for this awesome summary! I always come back to it when preparing to teach this game to newbies.
Thanks! I started making them so I could use them as a reference :D
Already a massive The Resistance fan, need to try #7. Cant believe #4 is that high, the one round is all aspect of it just doesnt hit the same for me. #2 looks very interesting but not sure i can get that big of a group consistently. Gonna spring #7 on my friends this Friday if it arrives in time lol
I think #7 adds that extra something. I really enjoy #4 and the variety shorter games adds. Thanks for the comment!
Feel your frustration. I'll believe them when I get my hands on my copy. So many projects do so well in their communication. I never back/buy FunForge again. Nice video.
a little too rushed
It was one of my first videos.
I don't own it, but I used to play games of Shadow Hunters for hours at Uni. It did take too long, so I threw in a house rule whereby you would draw two items and give one to another player at the location. It just meant that more items, more information and Bob actually stood a chance at winning.
Good idea :)
Thanks for the video. Never heard of #1 so now on a quest to hunt it down! For latge groups we played conversational games a lot, like Sounds Fishy, wavelength. We also merge two copies of Charmeleon. Saboteur and 6 nimmt both accomdate 10 players IIRC. Tumblin' Dice is the best large group dexterity game we had ever played.
Nice! I haven't played Tumbling Dice yet but I see there is a new edition coming out soon.
@@JestaThaRogue I'd recommend it if you could get a copy. We house rule it that if dice land on a borderline the score doubles, also we play 4 rounds - left hand throw, right hand throw, flick, and eyes closed. Bought a full pack of extra dice and play with like 15-16 people at a time, absolute carnage 🤣
Sounds great! But I’ve just seen the price so I’m out :D
@@JestaThaRogue ah just checked, £77 at Chaos Cards. Hopefully they bring the price down with new edition. I was lucky to get a second hand copy so do keep an eye on it! 😅
Will do!
I've been wanting to try #2 for ages!! Blood on the Clocktower is another brilliant one but better with at least 8+
#2 is very fun. :) My experience of Blood on the Clocktower has been ruined by experienced players making new players play a certain way. Took the fun out of it for me. Still won both games :D
@@JestaThaRogue ugh that’s the worst, these types of games can be very group dependent, shame on those people (but yay for the wins!!:)
The components make this look friendly to my 6 to but I worry the rules are too complex.
They make more sense once you’ve played a round or two and it settles in.
Thank you for this important meaningful warning sign lesson learned video
Thanks Ron!
This is definitely the most complicated game I ever played and probably the most intimidating. I wasn’t expecting a Borderlands board game to be so much more complicated than the actual video game
Yeah, games with movement and line of sight are usually more complicated than the by need to be. It’s a shame they didn’t follow the way some other games work to keep the rules more streamlined to focus on guns and loot :)
@@JestaThaRoguethanks for responding. I played it at least once with family and it was hard keeping track of everything even though I have reread the rules several times and watched several video play throughs. Maybe it is because this is the first time I played a board game like this though. Your video on it did help though, I watched it several times and I would still catch things on repeat viewings that helped clear up things I was confused on. 😅
@@gabrielzeroswe was like that too, but we played the first scenario until we grasped the game and now we’re pretty solid on the rules and the game feels simple now.
Eh...you are being way to nice about it. They got more than $200 from me several years ago. All I have gotten I lies about delivery. I do love Nimiji. But what they did to us with Monumental is unforgivable.
According to other comments I’ve been too harsh :) I just don’t want to get angry and rant and rave. The day after this vid and BoardGameWires second interview they posted their first update in 9 months so we’ll see what happens. :)
fantastic well spoken quick tutorial. Saving me many words to read. Cheers mate!
Thanks!
You are going way too fast to learn this game.
Not for everyone. Please read the description, thanks!
You could slow down the playback speed you know....
It's absolutely fine
thanks
No problem
Do we get income in the first year aswell?
Yes, it’s just the turn order bonus you skip in the first year.
It’s only a game. I’d rather wait a while than have some people lose their jobs
People have lost their jobs at Funforge.
@@JestaThaRogue then let’s not make it harder for these people. The Pandemic was a once-off tragedy. But we won’t die if our games are delayed by 2 years.
@IosifStalin2 are you kidding me? 3 years late for starters. Constantly making false promises and without this video, and boardgamewire and others we wouldn’t have had an update this month. Also, the game isn’t ‘late’ it’s ‘undelivered’ with no reason to believe September this year is realistic based on how many times they’ve said ‘it’s coming’ and it hasn’t.
@@JestaThaRogue it’s just a boardgame. Most of us have many other boardgame distractions. We should give all of these poor folk a sympathetic Pandemic break. In normal times, this would be unacceptable.
@IosifStalin2 it’s not just a board game, it’s a principal. You and people like you and this attitude are why they don’t bother delivering.
Thanks for the video, but.. Come On? It's "see-mon", right?
Not according to them.
As a backer, I am happy that they have produced the games and have come to an agreement to deliver them to backers. Communication was terrible but they never asked us for more money. Perhaps they should have done so. Hopefully they will all get delivered.
Well, I’m in the UK so they might (and probably will) still ask us to pay more which sucks.
Thanks so much for this video! For some reason the rulebook wasn't doing it for me, but this greatly helped!
Thank you!
Great quick explanation. Thx
Thanks Larry!
This both makes me feel less bad and terrifies me about LSG and their handling of StormSunder and Wild Assent... If you aren't following, they are at the point where monthly updates are still coming about gameplay mechanics but they no longer have a schedule for the projects and stopped commenting in forums and discord the end of last year... I'm basically just waiting for the updates to stop coming.
Hmm, might need to do a video about other projects, I’ve got a couple. Ore I backed worth mentioning :)
I so nearly backed this and then nearly late pledged it. Glad I didn't seeing how this has all transpired. I managed to get a copy of the token edition on deep discount from my local game store and its a good solid, fun game, so I hope if it ever delivers you all enjoy it. Although having been on the end of a few mismanaged kickstarters I know first hand the desire to play the game can wane when you have been messed about for so long. Just hope it gets resolved soon.
Thanks Michael. I think we’re lucky that a lot of us got the base game in the first Kickstarter so we have been able to play and not have it ruined by this experience :)
I must have been lucky so far. I have not run into a mismanaged project.
I’m sure 99.9% are either well managed or at least within an acceptable level of service even with delays. But yes, you’ve been lucky… so far :)
Unfortunately, you saw the one campaign FunForge executed well on. Tokaido Collector's was well over a year late, with a whole bunch of issues. Sucks, but there are so many backers and actual retail channels that seems to be selling FunForge games that this'll eventually get to you. The company looks like it'll remain solvent.
Most have delays and many have issues, it's part of it, things happen. It's when they go silent for months I worry.
You are a taking a risk when you gamble foolishly on KickStarter. That's on you. You need to understand how KS works. You can lose your money, every time, with no recourse (outside of bitching about it, like you are doing here).
Foolishly? Watch the video first before putting on your big boy pants and getting mummy to type for you. People like you and this attitude are the reason Kickstarter is the way it is. If you had a brain cell you would see that and not let them walk all over you. Also, because of me ‘bitching’ and a couple of others ‘bitching’, Funforge have updated for the first time in 9 months so at least I’m doing something and not just moaning in the RUclips comments like a sad little baby.
If they delivered on a previous campaign, why would backing a 2nd campaign be foolish?
@TheDonovanFisher that’s why I questioned if they watched the video :)
You must be a christian.
Atheist, but close. :)
The day you post this Boardgamewire releases another interview. This time, the CEO literally says he doesn’t care. Never ending mess.
He says nothing of the sort. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I decided not to back this, but there's nothing nefarious here, just "poorly managed company is managed poorly." Nothing he says in that interview is particularly outlandish or unusual. Small companies of all kinds struggle with liquid asset management and underestimate shipping costs on the regular. Doesn't mean you shouldn't be annoyed at how long delivery has taken, but there's no conspiracy or scam here. Just poor planning and bad luck.
Yeah agree. He doesn’t say he didn’t care. But at this point anything he says should be ignored until action is taken.
@@JestaThaRogue"I will let people chit chat and explain how some other great companies are doing so well on KS and how bad we are. *I do not really care.*" - FunForge CEO Philippe Nouhra
@EvanGMan he doesn’t care about what was said, but he doesn’t say he doesn’t care about delivering.
@JestaThaRogue That's true, but to show no regard for optics and PR? That's bad strategy for any company. There's a lot he could say to alleviate the situation. There's a lot more he can be doing to be more transparent. He's chosen instead to disregard criticism. So he should not be at all surprised that people don't believe that he has a desire to see this project delivered.
I'm just glad I didn't bite on the Titans add-ons, though I really wanted them.
I did! :D Funforge have logged into the Kickstarter today finally so hopefully there will be an update on the way.
I backed the minis African Expansion and the Titans foolishly. I caved and purchased the retail African Expansion on Amazon last week while it was $35. I guess I can proxy out different minis if my kickstarter version never arrives.
Titans, yeah...and there is a nicely painted retail(presumably) example in Images! Cheers.
I don’t think the Titans went to retail but they had some at conventions.
I was tempted by the titans but felt they were way overpriced.
I had not even had a chance to play the first game when they announced the expansion. Was almost glad they initially didn't want to make a token version because then I decided to opt out. Unfortunately FOMO won out when they announced they indeed would make a token version. Annoyingly enough, this is the version being sold, so if I felt like sponsoring this company I might have bought one. New update article today though on boardgamewire.
Thanks, this was helpful and succinct!
Thanks!
It's available on digital version, maybe that can make it a little easier, but it's clear that has a lot of rules. Great video, the board version looks great.
Thanks! I think I’d miss the look and feel of the game digitally. It will try and give it go anyway.
Formula D/De (for its simplicity) and Steampunk Rally (with plenty of choices) would both make it onto my list.
I only played Steampunk Rally learning it out the Rulebook at a board game cafe but it was good fun :)
No wonder the game is balanced poorly
I don’t think it is
This video was amazing. I love this game so far, but was disappointed that the rule book didn’t really give you a “how to play” section. Sure it has lots of info, terms and definitions, and such, but it doesn’t exactly walk you through setup very well, nor a turn. Six minutes into this video and we had a grasp to get us through several missions without needing too many trips to the book. Thanks for your hard work in creating this video.
Cheers dude. Helps showing the kids
Thanks Ross!
Thanks so much! This was a really helpful explanation.
Thank you!
Think I asked in a different video, but forget which one. Where did you get that Rogue shirt?
It’s a company called Gametee. They have a lot of black and white RPG shirts. I’m hoping to design my own some day :D
Loved the efficient format of the video ❤
Thanks Kaytee!
