Both of these are very respected players and in this video they do a very good job of explaining the game. It can feel a little drawn-out at times, but only because Barry discusses his own introduction to the game, but this does go someway to helping new players to better understand OFC and to learn how to play it themselves, so every minute of this video is good.

This video is quicker and more to the point, and it involves only Shaun Deeb, who is assisted by a presenter.

You could even watch this video first and then check-out the others to get a better understanding, but they will work in any order.
