About
I’m Rob (aka Jesta ThaRogue), just a guy from England that loves Games, (Board, Card and Computer) Sports, TV, Films, Pro Wrestling etc
Videos are available on the Youtube Channel, check them out. Also, I occasionally stream on Twitch. You’ll also find other board and non-board game-related stuff on Instagram.
So what will you find on this site?
Written First Impressions
This is an overview of the games I played for the first time. Some I own, most I won’t but I give a short overview of the rules and then look at the game based on 5 categories: Theme, Setup, Components & Artwork and Ease of Teaching plus the Final Summary.
How to Play Videos & Written Reviews
I’m reviewing ALL the games in my Board Game collection.
Once I play them enough to get a good idea of the game itself I record a comprehensive “How to play” video and a smaller round-up with my thoughts and opinions.
The How to Play videos are not meant to be a rulebook replacement. They are a quick overview for those that want to see if the game looks interesting. Maybe you’re playing the game for the first time and want a quick overview before sitting at the table. Or maybe you haven’t played it for a while and need a refresher.
Convention Coverage
If I play games at a convention I just do a written review as normal. But if I’m invited as press I do a quick video overview of the board game convention and the games I play in video form ranking all the games I played.
This will replace the individual review videos I used to do that no one watched! 🙂
Top 10’s, Fave 5’s and Solo Playthroughs
In other words, all the other stuff! These are fairly irregular but can be found on YouTube.
The board game top 10’s are the Top 10 of a particular large subject based on my opinion. Fave 5’s are my favourite 5 things within a board game, different from a Top 10 in that it focuses on smaller subjects… got that? 🙂
Solo Plays of board games are rare as the game needs to have an OFFICIAL solo variant and, more importantly, fit on camera which rules out quite a few of the larger-sized games. 🙂
I hope you enjoy it! (Feel free to comment)
