Hey guys! It's your captain speaking!
Turns out I have a lot more board games than I thought. I swear I don't need an intervention. I just really like them.
In this video I go through my collection of 20+ board games and whisper talk about them, I open up most of them and explain how they work. Some light tapping and the occasional sipping of my tea that I kept forgetting I had. I do my best to give a quick overview of each game in case anyone else out there in also interested in board games and looking for some new ones to try!
If you want to read more about any of these games I took the time to put Amazon links to all of them.

If you're unfamiliar with ASMR, I'll do my best to explain.
ASMR (Or Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response if you want to sound smart) is the given name for a tingly sensation felt in the scalp triggered by soft noises like tapping, whispering, light scratching, clicking and so on. I've found it helpful to use nails on a chalkboard as a good example of a strong physical feeling reacting to a sound, just imagine the polar opposite of that. Instead of a very harsh terrible sound shooting chills up your spine, ASMR is a very pleasant tingle starting on your scalp and moving down your spine as a reaction to very soft, quiet and gentle sounds.
However, not everyone can experience these ASMR "tingles" (theyre reel giys, i sware.) In fact its been estimated that roughly only 10% - 20% of people can experience it. Whether or not it can be developed or is just something you were born with, no one can say for sure.
For those that can't experience it, I'm sorry friend, it is a very nice feeling.
However, a large portion of ASMR viewers cannot actually experience ASMR. Or maybe at one point could, but can't anymore. (See: ASMR Immunity) They watch the videos because, tingles or not, the videos are always centered around being calm and relaxing. They're perfect for watching when you're having trouble sleeping. They can effectively take your mind off of everything, and lull you into a sleep.
Its pretty neat stuff! Hopefully this all makes sense, whoever you are. Thanks for being here!
