I'm new to board gaming, played less than 20 games (but watched so many videos about them...) and I can say two things: 1. This video was very helpful, with plain and simple explanations for every mechanic. Thank you! 2. There are MORE than 15 game mechanics?! Damn... Now I need to find more videos like this... :)

Thanks so much for your lovely comment. Welcome to Board Gaming btw! Yes there are tons more mechanics than the ones listed. I tried to cover the most common ones. So much to explore. :)

what a terrific job, thank you for taking the time to post such a jam packed useful video👏👏👏 When you talk about drafting cards you mentioned the style of drafting where you pass a small hand of cards around then folks take one and pass the remainder. Are there other types of drafting or am I thinking of a mechanic that's actually different? For example in Ticket to Ride you have the face up cards that you can pick from, is that another another type of drafting or is that considered a different mechanic entirely? thank you again!!

I still think that market drafting still comes under the drafting mechanism category. It still involves picking cards using the information that is shown to you.

I think it should also be noted that 'drafting' doesn't just apply to 'cards'. You can draft tokens/dice/cubes. Anything really :) I think the most common form of drafting is as you mentioned with games like 7 Wonders being so popular but as i get more and more into the hobby I'm seeing all sorts of clever and inventive ways of drafting. My most favourite recently was the game 'Museum'.

You used some great games as the examples. I really need to try Sushi Go Party. Ok what happened right before you filmed the Gloom bit lol Worker Placement needed more jazzhands. Great list and the explanations were great as well.

this is just what I was looking for, though I think the original ticket to ride is a better introduction than Europe that is deeper and more complex.

Yes it is a great game to teach to new gamers. There is more blocking and constriction in the original, but it also has less rules!

For a new board gamer, I think this is good to see if any mechanics interest you. Then you can search that mechanic for more detail or a list of popular games that have it. For a game developer, this is useful to be reminded of the different mechanics when choosing one or more for a new game. As you were counting down to #1, I was getting nervous that you might leave out worker placement, but there it was!

Yes! sometimes people might like a board game that features a certain mechanic which is the reason why I created list. Some mechanics people might not even be aware of (eg. Rondel) and this list can hopefully help people find a starting point for other games that they might like too. Yes I love Worker Placement! I can't forget that one!

Hidden Roles/Identity is one of my favorite mechanics. For examples, Spyfall, Secret Hitler, and Mouse Cheese Cat Cucumber. It is also combined with logical deduction and asymmetric missions in Inkognito.

i'm old school, i don't know much about modern games, but if you equated these to an old milton bradley or parker brothers game, i'd know exactly what you mean, e.g. the area control mechanic is just 'risk,' or deduction is 'clue,' and that i understand instantly.
