Anybody else watching this after finding out it was the inspiration for Decked Out?

[Klamageddon]

Your videos are seriously fantastic, exceptional production quality, super clear, no bias, just very very good informative instruction videos! They're such a joy to watch because they make something that could otherwise feel very complicated feel so straightforward. Keep up the great work!

[DanielVanDyck]

This has got to be the most wholesome content on the internet! It's just, nice! In fact, I've recently started watching a fair amount of gaming content and the board game community is just very wholesome in general, a nice change from what the internet is usually known for!

[tylorlilley]

It's been ten years since I first found this channel when looking up how to play Summoner Wars as someone new to the board game hobby in college. It's still my go to place to learn how to play a new game - often over even the official rulebook! Your smile and your calm, positive demeanor was relaxing then and it's still relxing now. Thanks for all you've done all these years on Watch It Played!

[nqeron]

Clank is currently my favorite deck-building game. I really like the push-your-luck angle.

[alexsherry]

I've been watching you back when it was just you and a steady cam, and I LOVE your editing now. Super smooth and easy to comprehend everything. whenever I play a new game now, I go first to watch your videos, then read the rules, and if ever an issue, your vids clear it up in no time flat. Keep up the good work!

[Shoggunik]

Well this is another time that I get to save myself an hour or two going through rules and then trying to look them up during first game thanks to watching your video. Thank you very much for that. It is hard to find that good of a quality of content on the internet!

[stevepruneau]

Never seen this game played. It's on my to-buy list for a little while now. Love deck-building games :D

[foxqc]

Damn, only at 8 minutes of this video and i am looking to my favorite store to get this game, thanks for that!

[Teremei]

Love that there is an app for solo mode! It shot up my list after that.

[bryansweeney]

This may be the best tutorial video I've ever seen. Clear, well-structured, and leaves nothing out. Well done!

[AdamSparkes]

My least expected, but well-loved, game from the past year. Great video, as always, Rodney!

[jestermask]

I've played Clank like 2 years ago and loved it. Last week I got it as a gift for my birthday so this tutorial was quite refreshing. Didn't remember some stuff. Merci Rod!

[keitha]

Rodney, you're a national treasure. Thanks again.

[Fever]

Your how to play videos are the absolute best! What a stellar and thorough job!

[rgdouglass]

I played a 4 player game tonight with my kids. My kids have played before and they taught me the rules but, after watching your video, I realize that we made a few mistakes. We're going to play again tomorrow night and adhere to the rules. We had a lot of fun.

[randallD]

I love watching your tutorials as they make learning new games so much easier. Thanks.

[randeknight]

Thanks for this. The supplied rulebook I found quite lacking,

[JoeyS]

English is not my native language. There are good 'how to play' videos in Dutch. But yours are always so complete. I try to watch one in Dutch first (if there is one) so that I understand everything. And then I watch yours to be certain that I heard all the rules ;-) So thank you very much!

[SiliconSicilian]

Great video! You clarified a number of points I wasn’t sure about during my second play such as being able to carry 3 artifacts if I bought 2 backpacks.
