What are board games all about

There's a 14-part video series on youtube called "Board Games with Scott", in which different board games are presented and categorized in debatable categories. I found this very useful as an introduction to board games and the board gaming subculture in North America.

He frequently refers to the BoardGameGeeks community. There's also a forum for board game developers, that - in comparison to video game development forums - has the distinctive feature of focusing a lot on gameplay itself, and not so much on story and technology.

its "board games". how do you not know?? anyway,its a game played on a cardboard square with spaces. like Monopoly.
