It's here!

This is one of those video topics I've always wanted to tackle - talking about all the benefits of playing board games and why I love it as a hobby. I hope it resonates with you, and helps you spread the joy of this hobby to others.

And what better time - yesterday was Actualol's 10th birthday! It's been 10 years since I released my first video, a review of Funemployed, and look how far we've come! I had no concept back in 2015 that I'd end up making videos like this about the wider hobby, and I'm so grateful to your support along the way while I found my style. I would have given up long ago if it wasn't for you all, so THANK YOU!

I love that I can pivot to making something more ambitious like this, and then get back to recommending some cracking games in my next video, until inspiration strikes for something different again.

I'd love to hear about the way board games have improved your life in the comments.

Actually yours,

Jon

Awesome video. Very thought-out insights on the topic. Planning on sharing it to motivate some friends to take me up on my offer for games. Minor note: As a viewer of all your videos for the last 4-5 years, I was not a fan of the extra formal b-roll for some reason. May be because I was raised on your awesome multi-personality skits you would do for those moments.

Great video, Jon. Especially great to see something positive, heartwarming and humorous on this day in the US. 😳 You make a lot of great points, and have inspired me to try to reconnect with some board gamers again - whether go back to a former group (it was a lot, and had combined with a singles group - I'm not single) and/or start my own "older ladies" group. Right now my third space is my D&D group that meets in person a couple of times a month - at a board game cafe. 😉 I have a games group with some 3rd (now 4th) graders, all on the autism spectrum that has been going on for several years. I taught them how to lose in first grade, much to their parent's relief. Other teachers have complimented me on what good sports "my boys" are. It's a good skill to learn. And I love that book "The Game Changers" - I might need to pull that out and reread it, so many great stories in there! Keep up the great work!
