Board Game Youtubers
117Board games have been around for a while, much longer than us, and so we're going to delve deep into the youtube landscape and our history with the board gamers on it. Ashton definitely has much more nostalgia and street cred when it comes to tabletop youtubers though since he watched a bunch of them while growing up. Wil Wheaton's Tabletop really left an impact on him and led to him delving deeper and discovering creators like Tom Vasel from The Dice Tower, and even Shut Up & Sit Down while they were still on Vimeo. On top of all that he frequented boardgamegeek and r/boardgames, so he was really on top of new releases back in the day.
We probably would've never gotten into board games if weren't for Tabletop, The Dice Tower, SU&SD and the like, and so in this video we're taking a deeper look at where we come from as well as the current youtube landscape pertaining to board games. Classics like Catan and Pandemic are giving way to new titans like Gloomhaven, Wingspan, and Root, and the board game selection of today is absolutely incredible.
Here's to the new generation! And don't worry, we got a huge review and a special video coming soon!
