Excellent jokes here, Jon. I started teaching Decrypto the other day and folks were looking very confused and then I realized the game is super easy to just teach whilst we play, so I did that instead and it worked great. Always nice to be able to explain the game as you go, which a lot of games don't accommodate.

you know what i hate even more than rules? waiting so long for another actualol content

Thank you my girlfriend’s family “hates learning games” and having something I can do a quick teach like sushi go has always been successful.

The sponsor section was hilarious, actually laughed out loud

I came for the board games, I stayed for the jokes. An absolute gem on YouTube! :o

That's a "funny in a different way" video for me, cause I love rules! Reading the manual on the day before and teaching the game to new people always makes me happy. A a fixed set of rules that makes a bunch of mecanisms work togheter in inumerous ways and entertain people just brings me joy to experience. Nonetheless great video as always!

You take my standing ovation, here sir. Splendid jokes from start to finish. And great recomendations as well. You made me add a couple to the wishlist. Thanks!

Yay, new Actualol! Perfect timing… (first ever non-family game night with neighbors tonight!!!)

In my experience, the easiest game to teach is Kingdomino (even with the expansion!). The perfect gateway game.

My favorite for people who don't want to play "those fancy games with all the hard rules" is No Thanks. There's only one choice on your turn - put a chip on the card or take the card and all the chips. And runs of cards (they're numbers) go together and only the lowest one counts for scoring (Cards bad. Chips good.) It also helps that the game takes 15 minutes, so you plan to play at least twice. Once so they can learn it, and once so they can play while knowing what's going on.

"...maybe you're just ugly." LMAO!

Wow @ the Las Vegas rhyming rules! Well done!

[andyfarrow]

Great angle and gags. 'Does it make you sad?' 'No. But I am hungry!'

Santorini! Move your worker to an adjacent tile, build on an adjacent tile. You can go up one level or down any levels. Domes and workers block tiles, whoever reaches level 3 wins, whoever can't move or build, loses.
... And that's the rules. It's also one of those rare breed of games nowadays, where people actually interact on the same board, instead of singleplayer everything and then compare scores as most games nowadays do.

[AhJong]

This is an absolute smasher of a list - love the variety - not all dexterity or party, throwing in something like Blue Lagoon is a winner. Hilariously funny stuff as well :)

Great video! I’m the ‘rule guy’ in my board game four-some. I even have to read the rules for games I don’t buy, so I appreciate where you’re coming from here. Hilarious as always.

[Coyotek]

I'm partial to "Ra!". On your turn, you either pull a tile or start an auction (where each person gets one chance to bid, using 'sun' tiles they begin each round with). Gameplay is very simple; scoring is a bit more complicated, but it's fairly straightforward once you get past the initial run-through. This is a 'gateway' game that I'll always be happy to teach and play.

No, Jon, don’t go to Wyoming… come to Utah! I’d love to meet you! I promise we’re nice, and there are lots of pretty places. Let me know when you and your wife book tickets for your next holiday 😉

The talking Wyoming card was simultaneously utterly terrifying and ridiculously funny.
