Watch It Played is a board and card game-related video series created and hosted by Rodney Smith. Originally intended to be used as a resource in a play-by-forum game of Mansions of Madness, the videos received significant views as well as positive feedback. This encouraged the creation of a channel dedicated to teaching and showing the games played.

In each season, Smith, usually accompanied by his son Luke and his daughter Andrea or co-hosted with his friend Pep MacDonald, will do a full play-through of a selected board game. Instead of reviewing, the show focuses on how the game works, thus allowing viewers to understand it in a practical level, helping them decide for themselves whether or not it would appeal to them. Another key aspect of the show revolves around the interaction with the viewers, usually allowing them to participate in the game by having them submit different choices at the end of each video.

The show's first episode was uploaded on September 1, 2011. Since then, several more episodes have been uploaded, usually with two or more episodes uploaded per week.

Table Talk

On April 30, 2013, a new segment was added to the show called Table Talk. In the first video, Smith poses a question to the viewers about a gaming-related topic. The second video (initially called Table Talk: Talk Back and later shortened to Table Talk Back) consists of responses from the viewers, including written responses and video submissions.

Pep Talk

On December 14, 2016, a new segment was piloted, called Pep Talk. Pep MacDonald covers some basic tips and tricks for general game concepts and strategies related to certain genres of table top games.

Fundraiser

In 2012, a fundraiser campaign to allow Smith full dedication to the show for at least three months raised $8000, $3000 more than its target.

Plaid Hat Games partnership

On March 24, 2012, it was announced that the show would partner with Plaid Hat Games (owners of both Dungeon Run and Summoner Wars, games played in the series), in order to develop a video rundown of Summoner Wars rules, trying to facilitate and complement the sometimes tedious process of learning a new game.
