    New video, new style. I worked with a talented videographer called Bart (instagram.com/_by_bart/ ) to film this video, which is why it looks better than usual, and added some music. I hope you like it! As always, there are links to buy the games in the description.

    Great selection - I've played all but the lemonade game down the pub and can confirm that they all go down great. High Society is one of my all time favourite games. Oink's 'Insider' is another game that works really well down the pub.

    • @eswift8318
      @eswift8318 Год назад +1

      Both are classics. I've found that for some reason For Sale is hard to ... sell ... to my friends. I think it looks too simple. But it is subtle and tense, but easy rules. High Society is a true classic from 1995. The new reprinting looks great. You might hear people disparaging it because there was a previous reprinting that was lower quality. Often, the quality of the bits makes a huge difference.

      I've personally made 9 or 10 board/card drinking games, mostly for friends who where "testers" (ha!) on finding a good balance between "fun", "challenge" and "drinking amount" :D I don't really like the standard "what can I do with 2-6 dice, or a deck of cards" I want my games to be a little more crazy with challenges, dancing and shouting :)

    I run a board game group that travels to different breweries around town. Skull is the first game I normally throw at people. It prepares them for the lying and bluffing that will happen at some point in the hidden roll games that are also in the collection. Secret Hitler is definitely the most played game in our collection.

  • @cwb95k
    @cwb95k 3 года назад +1

    No Thanks keeps coming up. I might have to give that one a solid try one day. High Society and Skull look interesting as well. I would love to you get a copy of Turin Market to review just to hear your thoughts. What was that British ale you consumed? It looked like an ESB to me judging by the color and the light bouncing off the glass.

  • @seizan88
    @seizan88 Год назад

    Skull is amazing. Granted people are a bit confused when you explain it at first. I usually just say it's kinda poker and let's just play one round and see how you like it. Since the game doesn't take that long, it's a big commitment. And people are usually hooked after one, realizing it is quite simple. Yet, it does have more depth than you might think.
    My fav pub game is chess tho. You can only play it with 2 people. But you can easily go to your local pub alone with a chess board and you will find someone to play with. Makes getting to know more people a lot easier tbh. It's also very funny to see when you are in a game and a small crowed gathered around the baord discussing who's winning and whatnot.

  • @eswift8318
    @eswift8318 Год назад +1

    Not played the lemonade game, but those are some prime choices. No Thanks is always in my game bag. I might get the new High Society just so I can keep it with me too. (Ahem. I have the original version, which is much too valuable to let commoners handle). And Llama is a great game if you're meeting pub friends who might be willing to try a game, but aren't gamers. Simple to teach by giving everyone a hand and starting play. And rounds only take a few minutes.

    • @actualol
      @actualol  3 года назад +1

      I never want to say "you should own this game", but I do think they are fairly distinct from each other. Both auction games, sure, but I don't find the experience to be similar otherwise. It more depends on how much you would play this type of game, as to whether it would be valuable to your collection.

    • @aowoodworks2408

    @rexgoodheart3471 Год назад +1

    I can attest that For Sale and No Thanks are great fun. Of the two I prefer For Sale. But the biggest problem with taking those to a pub is finding third and fourth players. It always amazes me how squeamish some people inside those bars can be about having a little mental fun.
