My channel aims to fix all that. Each one of my videos concisely covers all rules of each game, while being hosted by someone who isn&#8217;t a nerd (me).<\/p>\n<p>I am planning on making a &#8220;How To Play&#8221; video for every board game that exists, so if you get a new game, please wait until I make a video for it before attempting to play.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Here is a very short five-minute tutorial on <em>Carcassonne<\/em>:<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DJ2Si2sjHNY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>Viewers, I wasn&#8217;t aware I wanted a niche\u00a0<em>Look Around You<\/em>-esque take on boardgame rules tutorials in my life, but now I do I want a ton more of it.

Jeff absolutely nails the measured tone and presentation of this sort of thing &#8211; it&#8217;s probably about 30-45 seconds in you start to realise it&#8217;s not what you think it is, and the tutorial is even funnier if you&#8217;re aware of what he does with the source materials.
