Going Cardboard (2012)

Knowing next to nothing about the "board" games that have been coming out recently, I thought this documentary would enlighten me.

The film started out well, as a history of the new board games, which apparently were a big hit in Germany to start with, and rather hard to come by in the US.  It also was interesting to hear about the problems faced by some individuals as they attempted to get their games published.

Unfortunately, once the film passed the middle point, it seemed to break down into people merely stating how great they felt various board games were, without giving any reason for the enjoyability of those games.  Also, the game play of any game was never explained, leaving reason for the popularity of these games still a mystery.
