Islebound Board Game - How To Play [With a Review]

[@CassyCZ]

This is definitely the most unique board game tutorial I have seen (and I've seen quite a few😄). Fantastic work!

[@aarondovauo1471]

Just picked this up, quite taken with Ryan's games. This was a great look at the game, made the rulebook come to life. Looking forward to getting this to the table!

[@GregoryCornell]

Thanks, Aaron. I hope it gives a good overview without being too complicated.

[@aarondovauo1471]

This is perfect for the new players in our group, engaging video and doesn't overwhelm them. I appreciate it for the work put into it, great work!

[@GregoryCornell]

Cool! I hope to provide a somewhat clear overview for new players. More detailed explanations can follow. Thank you!

[@Boues91]

This video in quality and also in didactic is outstanding! Definitely new sub. 🎉

[@GregoryCornell]

Thank you so much! I hope future videos will be coming soon, and will live up to these high expectations. Cheers!

[@andreojuegosyestrategia1266]

I couldn’t focus on the rules while thinking how did you the stop motion video. Seems like A lot of work!! Awesome

[@GregoryCornell]

As a matter of fact, it WAS a lot of work. But the results are usually worth the effort. Thanks for the nice comment.

[@andreojuegosyestrategia1266]

@@GregoryCornell Definitely it was worth it! Keep it on! I love how you even animated the figurine as he was explaining some rules! You rock!

[@FlyByFry]

Quality video and very good explanation! Not many How to Play videos are as understandable, easy to follow and well constructed as this one. Great work!

[@dhanigar]

Great and super creative video! Teaches the game clearly and the animation is fantastic. Love it.

[@rebeccaflores3560]

Love your stop motion video with Stikfas! I just won this game at our Christmas party and your video is easy to follow and thorough! 🎉 Thanks a bunch! Happily subscribed.

[@madlydash]

This is an amazing video. Thank you for all the effort put forth into this.

[@redravengames1625]

My heart was brimming with joy as I watched this video. Exceptionally well done, you are so talented Greg!

[@GregoryCornell]

Thank you so much, Andrew. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It truly is a great game.

[@thinusconradie4297]

And a well-deserved congratulations to Ryan from Red Raven games for making Islebound. Islebound was my first RR game. I recently acquired The Ancient World 2nd Edition.

[@frizzlebarr]

Yuss I was hoping you'd make for Islebound. Honesty your how to play videos are without doubt my favourite. :D

[@GregoryCornell]

Thank you, Sam! That's some pretty high praise, being that there so many great ones out there.

[@Big_Dai]

Great editing

[@SeanArmitageMusic]

Really neat idea and much more interesting than reading the instructions. Keep at it, I'm sure the views and subs will follow.

[@GregoryCornell]

Thanks for saying so. I hope my videos help new players.

[@riverOfWinds]

This was amazing. Subscribed and hope to see more of this awesomeness.

[@GregoryCornell]

Glad to have you with me. Hopefully soon I'll be able to get back at it.

[@Robbulous]

Incredible stop motion. Instasubscribed!

[@GregoryCornell]

Thank you, and welcome to my channel!

[@callmemich]

Subscribed just so I could see more of your cool How To Play videos. Looking forward for more. Also think Im gonna buy Above and Below because of you :D

[@GregoryCornell]

Cool! I’m glad you enjoy them. I will make more.

[@Andy457]

I'm finally getting around to getting this off of my shelf and I have to say this is such a great video and a wonderful style

[@GregoryCornell]

Thanks!

[@Hanuman120]

Great video, as always!

[@GregoryCornell]

Thanks a lot!

[@CapturePlay]

This is incredible!

[@GregoryCornell]

Thank, Tyler. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@thinusconradie4297]

Are you still making videos? I subscribed, but could not find anything new. I literally watch this video every time before I play Islebound - just in case I forgot a rule. And I basically bought Islebound on the basis of this video. I hear the music in my head whenever I play.

[@GregoryCornell]

That's cool to hear - thank you! I have put a pause on new videos because I am very busy at work these last couple of years. I do intend to get back to it this year again.

[@TwitchyTale]

I really liked above and below with the exception of the story mechanic so I'm hoping islebound will do it for me.

[@KennethBurgener]

Nicely done!

[@JoseMedia2421]

Great video! Thanks

[@GregoryCornell]

You bet!

[@kevinrsnow]

I enjoyed this very much! Thank you!

[@theearlyresetband]

I still love this teach video

[@GregoryCornell]

Thanks!

[@boardgamedungeon432]

Very well done, lot of effort :)

[@GregoryCornell]

It was a lot of effort, but I enjoy the results. I'm glad you enjoy it.

[@NellaArabrab]

Fantastic!

[@linusottosson5425]

Great job! Many thanks!

[@vitosmashstudios1354]

I missed Stikfas,and I heard MadBalls already came back and it would be cool If Stikfas would come back.That would been perfect

[@narsil0420]

What's the music playing, I like it!

[@GregoryCornell]

There is a music credit in the end credits along with a website where you can find all of his great music.

[@69columbus]

Hi.. great work. you have a new subscriber!. as a person just getting into board gaming, how accessible is this game? Is it easy learn and then teach my wife and my 10 y.o to play? one more question. In your opinion which should is the more "family" game out of the 3 ..A&B/Islebound/N&F? Thank you.

[@GregoryCornell]

Thank you! This game is slightly more accessible than A&B in my opinion, but it doesn't have that great story aspect which Above and Below has. It really depends on your family's gaming experience if they'll be able to grasp this game quickly. I think the goals in this game are a little more clear. I haven't played Near and Far yet, but what I've heard is nothing but great reviews, and there's a lot more story there.

[@DCARROCERA]

this video convinced me to buy the game thanks :) . Is their any other game similar to this game thanks

[@Rik77]

Maybe Istanbul has some things in common, but is more streamlined in some ways and has a clearer strategy.

[@dinahfromkabalor]

The legacy game Charterstone has some of the same mood.
