Some games are 'light.' This might mean that they are short, simple or light-hearted, but they are just as deserving of love as the denser, more strategic games that we play.

Board Shorts is a vodcast series that takes a quick look at one of these games to discover what it is that makes them great - in 4 minutes or less.

Each episode, I show you how to play one game that (usually) takes no more than 30 minutes to play, is quick to set up and understand, but that has a nugget of gold embedded within it. They might be called 'fillers,' and 'gateways' but they're more than a little bit of fun, too!
