*ABOUT UNDISCOVERED GAMES*
Welcome to my YouTube channel dedicated to lesser-known & forgotten board games. My mission is to create video content for old and forgotten board games to archive them so they don't get buried and lost in the past, to share my favorite discoveries with the world, and to help others research these games easier. This is still a relatively small channel trying to build an audience who appreciates these hidden gems and older games. If you want to go on this journey to discover the undiscovered, please subscribe to the channel, share our content, and consider becoming a member or giving a small donation to help us grow.
*EPISODE 85: Commissioner Keepaway* features a full tutorial and review of the most underrated, underappreciated, and overlooked game in the entire Alea Big Box series. It amazes me that such a banger went totally unnoticed. In fact, until now, I could not find a single English video about this game! This auction gem is packed with meta-game subtleties, player-driven gameplay, tense battles for limited spaces, war-of-attrition auctions, and more. I can't figure out why it has such a low BGG rating of 6.0. Perhaps people did not spend enough time with this game. The rulebook is long and wordy, and the game is quite dense and opaque at first. Give it 3 plays with the same group, and I think it'll become one of your new favorites... if you like cutthroat auction games that is!
