Videos introducing and teaching board games as well as interactive board game tutorials are often great ways to be introduced to or learn new games. The number of such videos and tutorials continues to grow.
This Geeklist is to assemble an up-to-date list of English language online streaming videos about board games as well as English language online interactive tutorials for board games. This list is intended to evolve and grow and additional content is added. If you are aware of others which should be added to the list, simply add the link to the comments and I will set up another entry.

The online tutorials are designed primarily to teach board games. Perhaps the finest example of these tutorials is Professor Easy, which can be found at http://www.catan.com/profeasy.html.
The Games Rule Show which is compiled by the Vienna Gaming Academy at http://www.spieleakademie.at/1/13_1e_fenster.asp contains many fine Power Point tutorials translated to English. Thanks Goodsound for this information.
SoftBoard Games: Free Computer Version of Board and Card Games with Computer AI (Artificial Intelligence) Opponents with Screen Shotshttp://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/8323 This geeklist directs people to places to play various games, which allows people to learn the rules to games because you are forced to play correctly.
Rating Videos and Tutorials
If there is more than one video or tutorial per game, there will be multiple entries for the game with one video/tutorial per entry. If you like the video/tutorial, please vote by giving it a thumbs-up. If there are broken links, please let me know. If a video should be pulled down for any reason, please let me know.
I have embedded the YouTube videos, but do not at present know how to embed the others. If you know of a solution that works on BGG, please let me know.
I will be adding and pruning from the list. The games are sorted by Title.
Because of the nature of this list I have been getting a lot of comments that a video doesn't play etc (which often is a temporary situation) and they only serve to clutter the list and make it less usable. As a result, I have decided to turn off user comments on the list. Please geekmail me if you see a problem with a video that needs to be noted or corrected. Subscribe to Geeklist For Updates
This list has grown considerably, which makes it difficult to determine what new videos have been added. If you want to keep up to date on changes to this geeklist, simply subscribe and then you can scroll through only the new entries as they are added.
