Nope, still sounds too daunting and overwhelming for me haha. But that's a great video though, I haven't watched much board game reviews since Inside The Box got cancelled. And I guess I don't play much board games in general anymore these days anyway.
Daunting? I've taught go to dumb-as-rocks people in 5 or 10 minutes. Playing Go is simpler than anything.
Now, playing well requries a lifetime of dedication, but nobody's throwing you in a pit with a grandmaster. There are people of all levels in https://online-go.com/

This and the crokinole one are ones I return to sometimes. I love bewildered Quinns

I hadn't heard of Crokinole. The same reviewer did a video on it and I have to say, that looks equally as compelling.

Go and crokinole are one of the very few games from before the 20th century to be top-ranking on BGG!

It really does. Kinda destroys other abstract games after you learn it, 'cause they pale in comparison..

Classic Shut Up Sit Down is the best. I also loved Inside the Box. Modern SU&SD is good, but Matt and Tom are just no Paul and Quinns.
