Top 10 Board Game YouTube Channels | Antonio's Favorites

[@BoardGameDave]

First comment! 🥳 Thank you so much for the shout out, Antonio! I'm very honored to be listed alongside such incredible channels! ☺ It was so great meeting you at WSBG and as soon as Hannah and I started watching this video I told her how nice you were in person! Some of my favorite channels (that you didn't mention) are Foster the Meeple, Board Games for One, and ThinkerThemer!

[@boardgametotears]

I hope you keep making content for years to come! I've watched those channels you mentioned and I'm hoping to talk about a couple of them in a future video.

[@BoardGameDave]

@@boardgametotears Thank you again, Antonio! And I hope you do make another/more videos like this showcasing other board game content creators! There are so many amazing ones out there! ☺

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for the kind words Antonio, thanks for taking the time to share some channels you've been enjoying. We're in a fortunate time to have so many options, and congrats on your own work right here!

[@boardgametotears]

You guys are great! I will be watching you for years to come. Just so you know, John who is with our channel wants you to know that Antonio has you too low because you are his number 1 favorite!

[@WatchItPlayed]

@@boardgametotears So many great creators, being anywhere among those you enjoy is a real compliment!

[@Pickleeater34]

Board Game Hangover needs to be on here. They have such a clean and interesting format for reviews, way more accessible than many longer review channels!

[@LegendaryTactics]

Hey Antonio! It is very kind of you to include us amongst such incredible Board Game KZbinrs. I appreciate many of the same creators as you, but you also introduced me to a few more channels. I hope you keep producing your Strategy From a Champion series. Great work!

[@boardgametotears]

Yes I have enough footage for at least 5 more videos from the World Series of Board Gaming and have more interviews lined up for future videos. Two kids and a job get in the way of getting it edited faster, but it's coming!

[@LegendaryTactics]

@@boardgametotears Pesky kids! I have 3 of them as well.

[@jimalexander687]

Tabletop opened the door for me, leading to the Dice Tower, and everything else. In addition to those you've mentioned (all but one of which I've watched), Joel at "Drive Thru Games" is also very good, as is MarcoOmnigamer (formerly Marcowargamer), and the channel I most recently discovered (last summer), Board Game Hangover from Latvia. Those guys are hysterical and give excellent reviews.

[@boardgametotears]

Yeah, Drive Thru Games is good! I'll have to check those other channels out. Thanks for the suggestions!

[@danacoleman4007]

Great video!!! I'd really like to see the other 30 channels on your list!!!!!

[@thaynepeterson7896]

My favorites that weren't mentioned - Quackalope, Alex at Board Game Co, Rahdo Runs Through, Tabletop Toolson, Brothers Murph, Tantrum House, Liege of Games, Grant Lyon - and my favorite - Room and Board. I never miss his Kickstarter reviews. Maybe you need a top 50.

[@boardgametotears]

It's looking like a top 50 could be feasible now. All of these are great channels. Except I don't know Liege of Games. I'll check them out.

[@thaynepeterson7896]

i can't believe I forgot Game Night! - I normally don't watch playthroughs but they are an exception.

[@boardgametotears]

@thaynepeterson7896 Yep. The Board Game Geek channel is one I watch from time to time. I've skimmed through a couple of their playthroughs. I just don't have the time or interest in full playthroughs. The only ones I watch are competitive games played at the highest level such as the World Series of Board Gaming @WSBG

[@curtisrobinson7962]

The Brothers Murph.

[@markwhitmore4547]

Super topic and a great list! Thanks for the great content!!

[@boardgametotears]

Thanks for the feedback! I hope to keep doing more of these in the future.

[@bibleboardgames]

Thank you for the video! You got some of mine, plus I'll look out for some others you mentioned. Here is my current list based upon my number of watches over the past couple of months but thanks to all out there who help keep the industry going. It helps tremendously when I am looking for gifts for family, playing with friends, or just wanting to relax and think of board game design. 11. Honorable mention: All Aboard 10. Tabletop 09. Watch It Played 08. Rahdo 07. Actuallol 06. Shut Up and Sit Down 05. Board Game Co 04. Monique and Naveen - Before you play 03. Game Night 02. The Brother's Murph 01. The Dice Tower

[@boardgametotears]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing your list with us. I enjoy all of these channels too. However, I haven't heard of All Aboard so I'm headed there now.

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Thank you very much for the Honourable Mention! It is indeed a great honour to be mentioned amongst all of these great channels. Great video Antonio and we wish you all the best with your channel!

[@seanbester1465]

Liege of Games is my current fave. Does reviews, news, top lists, etc.

[@boardgametotears]

I'm gonna head over and check it out right now.

[@LegendaryTactics]

Congrats on hitting 100 subscribers!!!!🥳

[@boardgametotears]

Thanks in part to a shout out by you guys!

[@GameNightPicks]

Hiya! Thanks for including Watch It Played on your list. We're all glad to hear that you've been enjoying the episodes. Be sure to say "hi" in the video comments, and keep in touch! 😀

[@antoniostoryteller]

Hey! We got a comment from Chaz! woohoo. We will be sure and say hey on the channel.

[@boardgametotears]

Yes I definitely will! Thanks for watching our video too.

[@tomvermeulen8003]

This was an original top 10! I have 3 channels that i watch regularly that are not on this list. 1) Board game bollocks, i really enjoy this guys no nonsense style. It is bloody unique and a breath of fresh air in this community. 2) Board game hangover, they have very nice produced video's, a very fun synergy between them two. I also like the way they review games. They can really grasp the essence of board games and make me know in advance if i will like a game or not. 3) No Pun Included, they make surreal video's. You never know in advance if they are for real or not. Efka does a great job in storytelling around a game. Its a pure joy to watch.

[@boardgametotears]

Thanks! Board Game Bollocks certainly speaks his mind! I have watched No Pun Included also. I'll have to give BG Hangover a watch though.

[@danddjacko]

Love Board Game Bollocks and No Pun Included

[@BrunoBaronet]

Good list!

[@thewynnersgameroom]

Seems like we share a lot of our favorites!

[@boardgametotears]

Thanks! I've been enjoying your top 123 games series too. Any other channels besides these that you like to watch?

[@thewynnersgameroom]

@@boardgametotears thanks I appreciate it! I also enjoy Quackalope and Boardgameco’s channels. Rahdo is a bit all over the place in his videos but I use his channel to watch a bit of a play through before finalizing if I back something

[@powertopeople1]

I like chairman of the board ,I find his taste in gaming are close to mine.

[@boardgametotears]

Nice. I just started watching his channel myself.

[@rhino451]

I really like Jarrod Carmichael of 3 Minute Board Games. Jon Purkis of Actualol is genius and very understated. If I had the cash I would build a gaming empire around his review style.

[@boardgametotears]

So you are gonna wear wigs and do voices, Demetrius? JK. You should just make some review videos. His early stuff was nothing fancy. And I will check out 3 minute board games too.

[@jamesmorgan1967]

Other channels I enjoy that weren't mentioned in your video: Foster the Meeple, Before You Play, and Thinker Themer.

[@boardgametotears]

All these channels I've enjoyed too.

[@ButOneThingIsNeedful]

I could include many, but will take this opportunity to mention a couple newer board game channels that are small but top-shelf in quality: Man Seeking Meeple & Undiscovered Games. Others not as well-known as bigger channels, but just as good or better: The Cardboard Herald, SidegameLLC, Father of Games, & AllAboardGamer. Two Brits who are first-rate are Gaming Rules! and The Broken Meeple. Oh, and one more: Ali Plays a Lot (EN).

[@boardgametotears]

Yes! I love some deep dive discoveries. The only ones I've watched from your list are The Cardboard Herald, All Aboard, and The Broken Meeple.

[@ButOneThingIsNeedful]

@@boardgametotears What's very confusing is that there is both All Aboard Boardgames and AllAboardGamer.

[@boardgametotears]

@pnutbutrncrackers You're right. I was probably thinking of the other one.

[@ButOneThingIsNeedful]

@@boardgametotears That's weird that your last comment (to me) says "@pnutbutrncrackers" -- Where did that come from? Do I not appear as "Hop" with the Colorado Avalanche avatar on your screen? Just curious.

[@boardgametotears]

@pnutbutrncrackers I see the Colorado Avalanche logo. Sometimes your name is different than your user name I'm guessing?

[@tabletalkreviews]

If you ever extend this list to 500, I'll gladly take spot #500 😝 Foster the Meeple and Kovray are two other channels I enjoy that have diverse content related to board games (i.e. not just reviews).

[@boardgametotears]

Spoiler alert. I guarantee you'll be in the top 500.

[@tabletalkreviews]

@@boardgametotears Subbed and can't wait to see it 😉

[@peterkarlsson1825]

No Pun Included and Chairman of the Board.

[@jimalexander687]

I've only discovered "No Rolls Barred" in the last month, and they are truly hilarious. My only fault with them is that they are almost always vulgar.

[@boardgametotears]

Yeah. That definitely is a detractor for me also. They stopped bleeping their videos now so I haven't been watching them as much.

[@markwilliamson3043]

One Stop Coop Shop is the top of my list. I game solo and those guys playthroughs, especially Colin, is what kept me in board gaming. Rolling Solo is also a great channel. I used to like watch it played back in the day but its too corporate for me these days. Lost all its charm.

[@boardgametotears]

I haven't seen either of these. I'll check them out.

[@christinebrown8586]

Check out Board game Dad.

[@boardgametotears]

I definitely will. Thanks!

[@Coyotek4]

I'm giving a shout-out to the following YT channels: * No Wonders * Up Ur Play * Nithrania - Game in a Nutshell

[@boardgametotears]

I love Up Ur Play. He has great Lost Ruins of Arnak and Great Western Trail strategy videos.

[@djoseph5072]

BoardGameBollocks, Foster the Meeple.

[@boardgametotears]

Thanks for sharing. These are two channels I've checked out myself.

[@danddjacko]

No, never really warmed to Becca Scott, but TableTop was excellent

[@boardgametotears]

After I recorded this video I learned that she is headlining a new tabletop news show. It is live on kickstarter right now. Looks interesting, but I'm not sure we need another board game news show. Becca took a little while for me to get used to, but I do like her energy.
