2021 BGG Holiday Gift Guide: Top Heavy Games

While BGG's 2021 Holiday Gift Guide features more than 100 titles from 19 categories, today wraps my video coverage of select titles from the guide with brief summaries of a handful of heavy games.

Partly I thought these videos could serve as an experiment to see whether they have any use for folks outside the BGG environment. BGG has a larger percentage of heavy game fans than the population at large, but plenty of heavy game fans have never heard of BGG, so maybe they'll come across this video — or those about family games, party games, and two-player games — and discover something new.


Should you care to explore the remainder of BGG's Holiday Gift Guide, you can do so here, with this link automatically forwarding to whatever the most current gift guide happens to be.
