  • Thanks Scott!

  • Thanks for all the video. They have helped me to buy (and avoid) games.

  • You deserve a standing ovation for your work. Thank you. I think you will return one day!

  • Thanks for everything Scott and best of luck!!!

  • I LOVE U SO MUCH THANKS FOR JOINING OUR CLUBB WE ROCK UR FREAKING SOX

  • But... Twilight Imperium!

  • Hey Scott, you had a good roll.  (pun intended)

  • scott, go for 100 episodes! We all miss your reviews so much.

  • I may not have been as impacted by your reviews like everyone else but you were a big part of helping me discover new board games and for that I say, thank you.

  • You helped me discover a love of games. Thank you so much for all the work and time you put into your reviews.

  • urgh, just as i discover your cool chan, i learn you will nolonger be producing reviews. :/ but at the same time i'm really interested to hear your more academic pov on bgames. i have just began to take an interest inbgames mainly because of the ordered systems they represent. i understand video games well but im only just beginning to contrast video games with board games. they are quite different. i look forward to your future vids and will head on over to boardgameinfo.

  • Scott,I just wanted to thank you for all you have done for the boardgames.I was kinda addicted to videogames and it was thanks to you that I discovered the world of BG.I actually bought some online and found a world I never thought could be so much fun.Also,on a personal note,thanks for your tip on Arkham Horror!I bought it,loved it so much,play it a lot.Also managed to get some Lovecraft books in my country and it was all thanks to you.THANKS SCOTT!

  • well hope you find a game you love and you come back to review it

  • It's a pity, but we all respect your work youve already done! I wish you the best for your new "Boardgame-Life" :D Have fun!

  • Scott you are awesome at reviewing games so I will ask you to reconsider your decision in quitting the industry of reviewing board games. Here are a few reasons why:

    1. Board games that you don't like are MORE of a reason to review them. Share why and help consumers avoid them as well.

    2. Other board game reviewers aren't as good as you are. You are amongst the few board game reviewers that are actually good.

    3. You are only at 70 reviews. Make it to 100 :)

  • I guess you outgrew board gaming to some extent...

  • I only recently discovered your videos, but I've really enjoyed them and they've opened up some new great board games to check out.. Thank you.

  • I just discovered your videos. It's quite sad this show is ending.

  • Hi Scott, thanks for all the reviews and hard work you've put in this show.

  • P.S. - I thought you might enjoy this clip from New Scientist about the "Gamification" of the world. 

    Well, it's not wanting to let me include the link to the story, even though it's on YouTube. You can try searching for video _JXlf_z_px4

  • Hey Scott. Thanks for sharing all your time and insights with us. I'll be interested to see what you find in your research. Give your cat a hug for me. :-)

  • awww, hate to see you go, just today I watched your Long Shot review on BGG...and an hour later ordered the game (like I need ANOTHER game). Thanks for all the clear, concise reviews. Gregory is cool too.

  • If you need a local playtester, I would jump at the opportunity! After all this time I had no idea you were in my backyard.

  • Gregory is like, "Leave me alone." hehe

    Alright, Scott, you know people love your stuff, so lemme say this: I sincerely hope that you'll keep on doing your videos. Not necessarily about that new and exciting game that's just come out, because you said you won't talk about it, but those about gaming theory, game design and whatnot. Those are the ones I'm looking forward to.

    Haven't got the urge to go listen to the onboardgames podcast yet, because... well I think I just prefer videos instead.

  • Will miss your show Scott! I really appreciate all the work you've put into this series, you've expanded my board game collection a fair bit, everyone I know who is not my wallet thanks you :)

  • You perfectly summed it up. You made my fun better.

  • I'll stay subscribed, and listen/read/watch your other media streams. Thank you so much for all the effort you spent to inform and entertain us.

  • Good luck with your future endeavors.

  • A small part of me just died...I think it was my uvula.... :(

    Scott, amazing job. It has only been 3 years for me, but you really helped me get into this hobby. Oh, and I have got my whole family pronouncing Agricola correctly now.

    Good Luck in your new endeavors.

  • I would have LOVED to see you do a piece on Killer Bunnies.

  • What the hell. I just now discovered your youtube videos.  sad face.

  • liked for "Puerto Rico Poo Poo Heads"

  • liked for "Puerto Rico Poo Poo Heads

  • sorry muddy...but i dont think someone should donate when your ending your video series of board games.

  • Awesome. Thanks Scott. You've made a huge difference and the work you've done has been so important. I certainly appreciate all you've done.

  • Thank you so much for all your time and effort. You are / were legendary.

  • Goodbye, Gregory!

  • Bravo, sir. It's been a great 5 years! Thanks for your contributions!

  • No, I'm right with you, Scott. The last couple years have brought us the same old, same ol', as far as I'm concerned. Re-used mechanics, exhausted themes (medieval trading games, yay) and re-published old games with new components. There's simply very little coming out of Europe that I would consider "new" and that is incredibly sad. I started the Euro thing in '99 and went along for the ride for a while, but interest waned about two years ago.

  • Learned so much from your videos. Thank you! and miss you!

  • Thank you for sharing your passion in an intelligent and interesting way. As a lover of board games as a child you haven given me and friends a renewed pleasure in what is sadly a dying art form. You bring together a traditional social pastime which, historically, dates back centuries and can be easily forgotten to the majority of us (the general public).

    I see your contribution as a window to an artistic and stimulating recreation for friends and family. This is priceless. Thank you.

  • I will really miss BGWS! You have done a great job, Scott!

  • Well, that's shitty. You were the first person that I subscribed to while looking for suggestions of board games. This was before I even knew about BGG...

    I literally had no idea what kind of games were out there and so I purchased To Court The King.

  • You are great. Thanks. :)

  • Thanks for the awesome series!! Your show is definitely what pushed me over the edge from casual Monopoly player to Puerto Rico fiend

  • Many thanks for all the fine videos you've been casting these past five years! Know that you've inspired me to pick up my own video podcast where I review games in my native language (Swedish) and I really enjoy doing it :) Hopefully I'll be able to keep it up for as long as you have. Take care!

  • half of me doesn't believe you ,the other half of me wanted to get rickroll'd

  • Thanks for all your work and I hope you'll post some more videos about game mechanics, learning throught games etc. Great series, great work, great thanks Scott!

  • I feel bad clicking "Like", but you're right that this is the best way to end the series. Thank you for all your time and effort!

  • thank you very much scott - feel free to resume your show sometime in the future ! greets from germany

  • Great videos over the years! Many thanks!

  • I would write some long comment about how much you changed my look on games and how your reviews shaped my board game "pallet" as it where. But that is summed up by saying. I wana get all your reviews on DvD....no joke.

  • @Herfer A few years ago, I did release a DVD with the first 10. Search for Board Games with Scott on Amazon!

  • Thank you Scott.

  • You're a Pioneer Scott. Love the humor that you gave to board games and the many interesting ways you went out presenting them. Agri"Cola", Blue Man Group and the 18XX reviews were my favorites for sure. Always watched all your casts on everything and I hope you enjoy you're time away from the spotlight and keep on playing!

  • I remember when I created my YouTube account. It was to be able to thank you for your time and help. Just one note: many people feel 'weird' about using their credit cards online and/or don't like PayPal. I STRONGLY recommend some PO Box or address where we can send a check or money order. Seriously, that's the only reason I never donated. Also the fact that we often don't realize how many resources are used to make up such videos! Thanks for everything, Scott! Yet another professor!

  • Thank you for all the good time

  • Godspeed Scott.

  • Awesome job with the series Scott, I really enjoyed it. I'm going to miss your reviews!

  • Thanks Scott, for your show . Nice revenge thou :) and ending. I hope to see you in other videos.

  • Man, thank you for all the work you've done to keep us informed about BGs. Thank you!

  • thnaks fora ll the great videos

  • thanks for all the effort, sadly, I cannot donate to you. This series has opened up my intersest for board games, and you realy helped me learn learning if you get what I mean. Thank you for putting the time for making a final video telling you are finished, so that i wont be looking for your never to come videos. Bye!

  • Thanks for all the effort scott! I will keep watching.

  • Thanks for all the videos Scott!

  • Thank for all the videos that you made so far. Have fun in the future.

  • Noooooooooooooooooooo!!! This is sooo sad!!! I can't believe it over!!!

    I loved your show, Scott. You did such an amazing job. Good luck on your other endeavors. If you ever pick up the series again someday I'll be watching.

  • Congratulations on a great series and all the best with your future endeavors!

  • DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLL­LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLS!!! Gonna miss it, mate. It's been a blast.

  • i'm going to miss you spinning poi man!

  • I must say thank you scott for a beautiful series. I recently discovered it a few months back and you have motivated myself and a small group of friends to do some of our own vidoes (currently in production). So your series has both brought to us much joy and inspired us as well... thank you.. and may God Bless on all of your future endeavors.

  • I agree Scott, the board game scene seemed a bit dull in 2010. I'd interested to hear more about your pedagogical approach to board games.

  • I discovered board games and your channel too late. I enjoyed your reviews.

    Can you mention in your channel here in a written form what are the URLs where you can be followed again?

    Greetings from Estonia!

  • Oh blast.. Well, thanks for all the episodes. I wish you luck in your future ventures. So long.

  • Thanks Scott! Your videos got me into the hobby in earnest, and I've enjoyed your thoughts on games and game design. We'll miss you, but I'll be on the lookout for your other stuff. Godspeed.

  • The real reason why Scott is leaving because he is going Gung Ho with Cataclysm...right scott! TELL US THE TRUTH.

  • Thanks! Have fun first!!!

  • Hi there, bye there :(

  • Thank you Scott for all the great fun you've spread!

  • First thought of the title was "omg i have to get a dislike this video cause i like him i dont want to end". After seen this video all i have to say to you is BB Scot thanks for everything but mostly thank you for having FUN. I hope you have fun at your life what ever you do from now on.

  • ...and unsub

  • Thank you for all the videos and have a happy New Year! :)

    And do your best in the future, whatever you'll do ;)

  • Goodbye Scott and thank you very much for all your videos, opinions and humour. HOWEVER:

    If you ever run into another board game that you find you absolutely love, please dont forget about your fans :)

  • Good bye old internet friend

  • Scott, I just found you last week. I've looked forward to checking out your previous episodes as well as ahead too. I will look you up in the places you mention in this episode. One tip I have for you is to check out a few research papers and such on "Epistemic Game Theory" which is not the economics Game Theory. I'd be interested in what you think of it and your applications to the use of board gaming toward educational purposes. There are old episodes to keep me going for a while. Best 2 U

  • Good line at the end. Having fun during the game is always the best part. If you're playing with 4 people odds are against you winning anyway.

  • I was directed to your videos by my FLGS when I was deciding whether or not to buy Pillars of the Earth. Since then I have watched every video and spend hundreds of dollars purely due to your reviews. You also made Agricola significantly easier to learn. Thank you so much for all the effort you have put into BGWS.

  • Well done Scoot. Thank you for your service. You brought a lot of joy to me because I was able to enter the world of board gaming running. I think your courage to move on and possibly disappoint others so that you can do what truly moves you is wonderful. I look forward to what's next....

  • Happy New Year.... I didn't know about the book, at Major book retails?... the cat is like " go away im napping"

  • Yep, what a bummer for the new year?!?!?

  • Uh wow. My New Year's just got pooped on. :\

  • Awww - thank you so much for making some really interesting, in depth videos - I've really enjoyed them. I look forward to seeing whatever you produce with your shift in emphasis - I really enjoyed the 2 video seminar you delivered on game design. Thanks again - you've done a GREAT job.

  • I am glad you had BGWS, and I am glad you had this show. I will look forward to your mew upcoming video!

    Thank you so much!

  • :'(

  • I won't unsubscribe, but I can't help but say I'm bummed. On that note, I'm inspired to support a different blogger who I don't want to burn out.

    Happy new years.

  • wow... SUCH an unclimactic end to an EPIC series ='( ..... I'm really really really sad right now ='( .... this is too fast and sudden....SCOTT!!!!!!!!!!! oh well... I hate to do it but I guess I'll support you in your decision... thank you for everything Scott!

  • If I give this vid a thumps up, cause I like you, doesnt that mean I thump up the end of BGWS? O_o' What should I do?! - I enjoyed the episodes all these years and wish you the best :)

  • Booooooo I loved your reviews.

  • You helped me play and teach Die Macher Mr.Scott. Kudos.

  • that cat looks like you :) plus its sad to see you go (in a way) but you made so many videos that i was surprised there was so many board games out there that are good.... anyways i would check those websites every now and than and good luck :)

  • Actually, let me correct that. They ARE amazing.

  • Ahh, too bad. Your videos were amazing!

  • Damn. Your videos were the best I've seen on BGG.

    But at least you are doing something you like still.

    Happy Gaming!

  • it's been a ride.

  • ummm wtf is this shit

  • I forget how I first stumbled upon your show way back when. It's hard to believe so much time has passed.

    You've provided the clearest, most viewer-friendly video series on board games that I've ever seen, and I hope you continue to be an inspiration to the next generation of potential Scotts out there who will take up the mantle.

    Thank you.

  • That's a bummer. I'm looking forward to seeing your research videos though and maybe I'll see you at a convention.

  • Too much WoW, Scott. j/k

    You made some great videos, Scott. Both the reviews, and the looks at specific game mechanics.

    You're great guy, Scott. I wish you well, Sir.

  • You had some great game reviews!

    Thanks to you I've been played lots of boardgames lately. It's sad that you quit making reviews on Youtube but your things will live on. :)

  • Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

    But wait! No more Videos means more time for me to play boardgames! YES!

    Thank you Scott for your videos. I really enjoyed watching them.

  • Booooo. I literally just found your videos yesterday when trying to figure out Agricola. After spending hours trying to understand it, your 30 minute video was perfect. I have looked at your other videos and it let me know if I would enjoy other games I have looked at. While I wish you luck with your new endeavors, I wish I would have found your videos sooner.

  • well i hope you have a great year. sad to see you go,but i understand. i hope you can enjoy the designing and maybe find some games that interest you next year. i always sent people to your site when i was at work and people wanted to know more about what games they would like to get their family into games. and I will contune to send people to watch your stuff as i think you are one of the few who do a great job telling other about board games.

  • Thank you for all your videos and game reviews. Will be interesting to see what you put out in the future. I'm not much of an academic anymore but every once and awhile I like to learn things ;)

  • Love love love all of your videos, i probably rewatch a handful of them daily. Definitely going to try to follow your future endeavors. There might be others doing what youre doing, but as far as im concerned nobody does it like you do.

  • I've really enjoyed the series. Your reviews have been a major influence in my decision whether to buy certain games. Thanks for everything!

  • i just subscribed...

  • I like this. Most people just stop uploading without leaving an explanation. You're going out like a true G. May you and your beard have a Happy New Year!

  • Final Episode? But why? There are so many board games out there that needs to be reviewed :(

  • Sad that this series is over. Thanks for all the excelent work you have done.

  • I loved your shows. I would like to thank you for providing all of these very informative videos. Especially the Puerto Rico video because I watched a couple before yours and the made it seem really confusing. But yours made it very clear and understanding. So thanks again for making all of the videos and I look forward to see what's next. :D

  • Thanks a lot Scott. I loved all of your videos. :D

  • So sad :(

    Thank you for all this episodes, I wish you luck in your new projects.

    I have also noticed that your introduction video about The Game Professor is only accessible by having the link, are all your videos going to be like that or they will be public so we can follow you better?

  • Your episodes will be missed Scott. However it's nice to see that you'll still be around. I salute to your fine work. *Salutes*

    And so does my cat. :P

  • good luck

  • Thanks for all the fun an informative videos.

  • Recently stumbled upon this podcast and loved it. Sorry to see it end, but it sounds like some really exciting stuff is on the horizon. Best of luck!

  • Thanks for everything Scott, you really taught me some things over the past years.

    Good luck with your new projects, I will stick around.

  • thank you so much for the hours of entertainment Scott, all the best in your new adventures!

  • So depressing. But, I'm looking forward to what new things are on the horizon. Thank you for making these videos over the past five years. I've been plenty educated throughout the many videos.

    Good luck in what's still ahead.

    Awesome cat. lol
