Will be playing this soon with my family, and it is usually up to me to learn the rules to new board games we get. The manual left me with a few questions, and this cleared them up. Thank you very much! Also, that intro spin box move was pretty epic!

My partner has experienced too many concussions and learning new things is always a challenge at best. We were looking for something we can do together that challenges me but not lose her. Decided on a new game. After watching this she wanted to try Everdell. You sold her on it. 1st try at play through got through spring before she stared to shut off. She asked to re-watch you explain it and is excited to try again. We may not play for points for a few rounds but can see how this is going to help her and give us more time together. Thank you for being so engaging and explaining very well.

Rodney is without a doubt the best board game teacher out there. Whenever I get a game and I see he has a “how to play” video for it, I know I’m going to be a-OK. Thanks!

[ahabwolf]

You are like the Mr. Roger's of board games. Really love your videos!

Rodney’s Tactic #153: Use real berries to cause opponents to eat their own resources.

I love how every board game feels absolutely wild when you first start to learn but then by the end it's like nothing else could ever make any more sense. My group is playing this for the first time tonight and I'm very excited I can easily teach and guide the game and my friends. Thanks for such a clear and concise break down!

[benleague]

Your tutorials teach how to play games so that people can slow down from the rush and often isolation of modern life and get to know each other, bond, and laugh around a table together. We love that.

I was just wanting to play this game again, but didn’t wanna re-read the rules. Bless you, you Canadian Cowboy.

Games on my shelf unplayed, games just bought. It matters not, this is the first site I check now when I'm ready for a whirl, and this "how to" made me laugh! Great work.

An absolute treasure, the Bob Ross/Carl Sagan/Mr Rogers of boardgames. I can happily spend an evening just learning games even if I'm not about to play them, and when I am trying to play something, the videos are invaluable. I hope your life is filled with as much joy as you bring to others, cheers man

My ABSOLUTE favourite game!! All their expansions just arrived and they're so so amazing!!! I love the theme and the art and it all comes together in a beautiful game. I love it

[anabrent]

I love how clear you are when explaining how to play games. It makes me really want to pick up new games all the time, and I feel like I have a general idea of how the game works and what it focuses on thanks to your explanations.

[valsharessa]

I was reading the instructions to this game and got confused so I searched youtube and found your channel. So glad I did! You explain the rules so clearly and it made more sense to me than just reading the manual. Thank you and I’m looking forward to learning more games from you in the future :)

It’s been a while since I’ve been able to watch this channel due to really crazy and horrible personal life stuff (but no worries! Things are going SO well now!) and it’s so heart warming to see that my favorite board game channel is still going! Thank you so much for making these videos, been a fan since 2015 at least and you helped me find some wonderful games and I always appreciated your suggestions. Was curious about this one and was so glad to see you had a video on it!

Anyways, just wanted to say a big thank you for helping me through my darkest point a few years ago and so happy to see you still here on YouTube. Cheers!! 🌟

Rodney's box flips are next level.

[starshocker]

Always start your boardgame tutorials with a good box spin... Notes to myself. Btw, love this game, so cute and peaceful.

[dmckeeth]

Thank you so much. Due to an injury I don't understand written instructions as well anymore. I got this game as a gift and have been excited to play, but quickly got overwhelmed. Thank you for explaining and showing clearly. Will likely have to watch a couple more times, but excited to play now! Look forward to watching other videos you have!

[SuperGamingFamily]

just wanted to say a massive thank you, your our go to channel when first learning a game as you make it so easy to understand what to do and we never get confused, amazing content and this video just made us buy a copy of everdell the complete collection lol

[marcoabrillo]

Rodney so good at what he does that im still excited to click this even though i own and know the game already 😅

[SuraSockan]

As always excellent, whenever our group is playing new games this is one of the first thing we do before getting together. Watching watch it played! So when we meet we can hit the ground running! It’s truly cut down on rules explaining and and questions! So a big thanks from Sweden. With love. Xo
