GLA #17: How-to GeekLists
This GeekList Aggregator deals with How-to-GeekLists. Many geeklists serve as a little how-to guide. Most of them are serious, some others just pure fun and they cover a broad range of topics. One How-to list covers the game rules and nicely connects BGG images and text, some others investigate how to manage and categorize game collections and another one is focused on how to best explain the rules.
Pretty thought provoking stuff *g*, all collated in GeekList Aggregator #17: How-to GeekLists.

I find this a very interesting and innovative way of using a GeekList as it nicely visualizes the rules of a game that you have never played. It helped me to visualize the rules more vividly. I would certainly like to see this type of How-to-Play-GeekList more often...
