Thank you for watching! And thank you for all your comments, I love making videos for you all!

If you're new to Actualol, my name is Jon Purkis. My two passions are writing comedy and playing board games, so I decided to combine the two in this YouTube channel.

I make all my videos on my own, in my flat in London, UK, with the help of a diverse selection of wigs.

That little side-quip about the GoT show was probably a little closer to reality than you might have expected or wanted.

[PablowingUrMind]

I just got high and watched about 8 hours of Top Board Games lists on YouTube... yours is for sure the best so far.

[GeneralDibs]

"That elusive but oh so sexy long piece" was my nickname in highschool...

Oh who am I kidding. It was "stubby T".

[captainspoof]

Holy smokes. Amazing video my man. I want almost all of these.

2 quick cents: As someone who multitasks while listening, it would help if you kept the title on the screen while you talk about each game. Sometimes you say something that intrigues me, but I have to rewind to find out what you're talking about. But if I'm the only one, you can disregard. :) Great video, by the way.

I, oh, so enjoy your humor. Had to pause the video many times to get a grip from all the laughing. "And Goldilocks went town on it" got me waaay too hard - I love you for it!

[Jaaskle]

"if you skipped ahead to see number 1, youre not gonna get this joke"
he pegged me 100%

[puckebd]

Your delivery is so intentional and clear that when you make a joke it almost sneaks up on me and I end up laughing even more a few seconds after you say it.

[daveculling]

Great stuff Jon as ever! And some particularly fruity innuendoes slipped in with your customary nonchalance! :)

[infernoblayze]

Great video Jon! Had me chuckling several times. And yes, Marmite is great.

[RonnieLunn]

I really think this was your best written episode yet man! I actually lol’d.. hey, now I get the channel name!

[loaf]

"Nostalgiagasm" is my new favorite word

[WolfusMandrago]

Detective really is great. We'll be moving on to Chronicles of Crime after we finish up the Sherlock Holmes blue box (Carlton/Queens Park). I'm happy to see that you share the love of crime solving games!

[IainMabbott]

Nice list Jon. I completely agree on Detective, it's not perfect but it was sooo much fun.

[MrTravolta]

After 10sec watching your video i gave thumbs up. Finally someone said how many games they played when they do a Top something. It’s important because if you do a Top15 and don’t say how many games you played I don’t know how good they really are. Imagine if you said you only played 20 games in total, that would be completely diferent.

Are you going to do a 2018 party games video? 👀

I love your jokes, great video 😂

[diastoleny]

Great review of Detective but I don't have access to a cell phone. Gonna try The mind. Thanks.

[vanyaserra]

Well the one thing I learned from this video is we have completely different taste. None of these would have made my list. In fact a few would have made my worst games list. Glad you enjoy the games, shows there is a nice broad market out there. This will hopefully encourage the board game makers to continue making all sorts of games, because love them or hate them I love trying new games out, just so i can find the hidden gem among the hype.

Finally played Pyramid of Penqueen that I bought solely on this video. It was very fun and everyone loved it.

[anthonyhaigh]

Awesome guide John! I have a list of at least 8 games to try! I’m hoping my game cafe has them so it does not cost me too much’ lol thanks
