A home for my most in-depth game guides and written takes, all focused on the board games I genuinely enjoy.

How to Play Keeper: Full Character Guide • Grimcoven

In this video, I walk through how to play the Keeper in Grimcoven, covering the character’s strengths and weaknesses, playstyle, unique mechanics, evolution cards, corrupted side, and more, including builds focused around Craving and Hunger, and how these mechanics shape the overall flow of the character. This isn’t meant to be the definitive way to play the character, but rather a beginner-friendly guide to help you better understand how Keeper works and what makes the character unique.

How to Play Rogue: Full Class Guide • Gameplay Tips & Strategy • The Elder Scrolls: BotSE

In this video, I walk through how to play the Rogue in The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era, covering class abilities, how to upgrade to master, stat allocation, racial synergy, starting and additional skill lines, and practical gameplay strategy. I also share how I approach Rogue in solo Expert campaigns, including survivability, positioning, and how to make the most of the class’s strengths.

A conversation with Neon Gorilla • Think Gaming at The Board Game Secret Show

I recently had the pleasure of joining David from Neon Gorilla for a long-form conversation about board games, YouTube, and life in general.

We talked about my journey from immigrating to the UK and rebuilding my life here, to finding your own passion and purpose, the behind-the-scenes reality of running a YouTube channel, why I tend to treat Think Gaming more like a library, why I still haven’t filmed a review of The Elder Scrolls yet, and plenty more along the way.

It was a really thoughtful conversation and I genuinely enjoyed it.

If you’re curious about the person behind Think Gaming, this is probably the most personal interview I’ve done so far.

All Ironclad Rare Cards • Tier List & Analysis • Slay the Spire: The Board Game

In this video, I rank all of The Ironclad’s Rare cards from Slay the Spire: The Board Game, based on how often I tend to pick or skip them in real runs rather than their pure theoretical power. I go through each card one by one, talk about what makes it work (or not), which decks it tends to fit into, and how it contributes to damage output, defence, scaling, or overall deck synergy. The goal isn’t to label anything strictly “good” or “bad”, but to give a practical perspective that might help you make better decisions during your runs.

Black Marsh Explained • Endgame Setup & Rules • The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era

In this new series “Province Explained” for The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era, I take a closer look at one province at a time and break down what makes it unique. In this video, we’re covering Black Marsh – including its overland mechanic, delve feature, Native enemy skill, noteworthy towns, and Endgame setup and rules. The goal of this series is to help players better understand how each province works, what to watch out for, and how to approach them more confidently during campaigns.

How to Play Technomancer: Full Character Guide • Grimcoven

In this video, I walk through how to play the Technomancer in Grimcoven, covering the character’s strengths and weaknesses, playstyle, unique mechanics, evolution cards, corrupted side, and more, including both Fire and Lightning builds, as well as the Technomancer’s strong support and utility toolkit in group play. This isn’t meant to be the definitive way to play the character, but rather a beginner-friendly guide to help you better understand how Technomancer works and what makes the character unique.

The Elder Scrolls vs Too Many Bones – Which Game Is Right for You? (In-Depth Comparison)

In this in-depth comparison, I put The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era and Too Many Bones side by side across 11 different categories to see how they really compare. From art, theme, adventure, character building, combat, complexity, and more, I break down where each game shines and which one I personally think comes out ahead in each category. I tried my best to keep the comparison as objective and grounded as possible, while still sharing my own perspective after spending a lot of time with both games. If you’ve been trying to decide which of these massive Chip Theory Games titles is the better fit for you, hopefully this video helps.

All Ironclad Common Cards • Tier List & Analysis • Slay the Spire: The Board Game

In this video, I rank all of The Ironclad’s Common cards from Slay the Spire: The Board Game, based on how often I tend to pick or skip them in real runs rather than their pure theoretical power. I go through each card one by one, talk about what makes it work (or not), which decks it tends to fit into, and how it contributes to damage output, defence, scaling, or overall deck synergy. The goal isn’t to label anything strictly “good” or “bad”, but to give a practical perspective that might help you make better decisions during your runs.

Light Armor Explained • The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era

In this video, I break down how the Light Armor skill line works in The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era, introduced in the Valenwood expansion. I go through each of the dice, explain how the abilities work, highlight common rules points, and share practical tips on how to use Light Armor effectively for your characters. Whether you’re considering building around it or just want to better understand how the skill line functions, this guide should help clarify how it plays at the table

How to Play Gunslinger: Full Character Guide • Grimcoven

I’m starting a new series covering Grimcoven, with the goal of eventually making deep videos for every character, every boss, and plenty more strategy tips along the way.

In this video, I walk through how to play the Gunslinger, covering the character’s strengths and weaknesses, playstyle, unique mechanics, evolution cards, corrupted side, and more. I also include unlockable content from the Personal Stories expansion, which I marked with a spoiler warning in the timestamps in case you’d want not to reveal that part.
