That is a true statement. in many social deduction games you kill to confirm even if you think they might be on your team. Sometimes it's most important to just kill to confirm either you or the person you killed
Laurie has a HUGE tell. When he was the Kingpin, he was calm and quiet, with a determined, cool poker face. When he was a simple crooked or good cop, he was animated and very active in the conversing, accusing, and all around jokery. 😆😆😆
Dom: "The only way I can feel safe is if I have a gun!" Me, an American: "You've been talking to too many Americans." Sully: "It's the American way..." Me: "Thank you, Sully."
I love the idea of these good and bad cops coming together trying to find out who's on whose side, and immediately they are all pointing guns at each other before saying anything.
I love the headcanon that, after a dozen or more cases at his previous precinct went unsolved because everyone ignored him, Laurie finally transfers out and immediately goes deeply deeply crooked. Ravenswood Bluff PD created this monster.
This was an absolute mess of a game, and an absolutely hilarious episode of BGC. And if there is one person who would be the kind of individual to be the Kingpin three times in a row.... well we all know exactly who that would be don't we?
Number of games Adam won : 2 Number of games Adam lost : 18 Games played total in 2022 : 22 Number of times Adam WILLINGLY chooses yellow: 3 Number of games Adam wins BotC: 2 (won't count to win score) Number of games Adam's wins in other series: 2 (won't count to win score) Number of games Sully has broken his resolution to always win: 16 Number of games Laurie has won BotC in 2022: 0 Has Adam played Diplomacy with Dom yet? Yes: No: ✓
In retrospect: Adam's card says the player who is shot is shot a second time; Laurie's equipment does nothing, and the Kingpen should've been killed immediately.
"I don't think you're going to get a medal" "Does everyone get a medal apart from me?" Got a distinct Dick Dastardly and Mutley vibe from this part of the video 😂 EDIT: The whole video!
Watching this and Dom’s ‘forty years on the force bit’ made me want very much to see him play Sheridan Whiteside in Man Who Came To Dinner so much. He would be perfect in the role.
Having run a TTRPG youtube channel for a while so knowing how we recruited, and from the context cues of multiple of them being aspiring actors..... yeah you recruit from the local Uni either directly or through friends of friends. Not all acting students are good at improv (oh yeah, recruit improv people ideally) but they come with a lot of understanding about camera presence, audio levels etc etc.
I absolutely love that Rosie explained the entire process of playing the game, ultimately ending on a note akin to "I have no clue what to do". Exactly the process of these games. They are great. Buy them all.
Dom is absolutely me in board games when I play with my friends. Just bring the chaos and at whatever opportunity, be petty. Someone did something that negatively affected me in a previous session? Welp looks like you aren't having fun this next one lol
Oh it's the same cast from last recording! I wonder if Tilly can weather this craziness...or perhaps reveal she's worse than Adam, Dom and Rosie combined!
For the thousands in attendance, and the millions watching at home...llllllllet's get ready for funnyyyyyy! Love you folks, keep up the awesome content!
I adore social deception games. My friends and I are obsessed and own way too many. I’m only 5 minutes in and you’ve sold me. This one I’m adding to my collect for sure!
Spoilers for first round: I like to imagine Laurie and Rosie just goes: Eh, this crime lark is getting boring, lets just frame adam and join the force again
Adam's goal for the year was 22 wins, right? He's 4 away from 22 losses. I hope Laurie or someone else could secretly arrange a big 'thing' for when he reaches that threshold. I know they film a few in a group, so maybe when they film their next one (Assuming they haven't already) they could bring out a big cake or something to celebrate his 22nd loss of the year.
Watching their series has really revealed that they might be tabletop gamers, but definitely not card gamers. They frequently do things out of stack order and fail to use abilities at specified times. When Adam is shot in game 3, he draws the equipment to also shoot Laurie, but the card specifies you have to use it when you’re shot. By the time he draws the card he had already been shot, the shooting had resolved and it had moved to the next phase where he draws, the same thing happens earlier when Adam is shot, reveals that he is the agent, and only then does dom choose to use the riot shield to protect him, but at that time he had already been shot and injured so the shield cannot be used. These might appear to be minor gripes but the game would have played out very differently had they not broken the rules like that
I love that Adam just makes a new accusation every turn, just wildly throwing titles AND claiming them if he feels like it, even if people know he's not in that very first round. It's just chaos and I LOVE it. I also love how everyone just picked up a gun first turn. It's always really conflicting when everyone turns on Adam, because for one I really like it for the entertainment value, but for another I'd really like him to have a win at some point because I do like him too xD I do prefer it if Adam does something to draw their ire or just made a suuuper stupid play or something, but sometimes it's just because it's more fun. Though I did feel bad for him when it was him against literally everyone there.
I had to go back but Laurie mentioning Springfield police almost sent me off the bed laughing. I live in Springfield Massachusetts so that amused me greatly! I love this episode it made me forget the pain my finger is causing me. Great job and I don't think I've ever seen Tilly so I'm happy to 'meet' her!
I would love to see some vignettes on each of the NRB crew that shows who they are as people. I feel like I know something about each of them but it would be great to learn more, if they're okay with that of course.
When Dom switched Tilly's agent card for Adams crooked card she was technically still good because Dom already switched all Adams crooked cards to be honest and honest to be crooked
Are you allowed to use the riot shield after a player reveals their cards? I think the riot shield probably requires using without knowing what the player you're using it for has as cards.
A LOT of reactionary equipment being utilized after an action results in information, which then reverses the action that would have provided said info. Riot shield being one. Gunshield was also drawn as a result of action and then PLAYED against the action that caused the draw? Are either of these legal moves? Equipment being used to reverse, rather than prevent an action seems weird. Equipment used to respond to the action that caused the equipment to be drawn is weird. This game is all over the place.
@@Phyrre56 A bit hard to call it a rehash when it came out in 2014 (same year One Night Ultimate Werewolf was released by the way). Night of the Ninja came out in 2021. This feels like a rules interpretation mistake, but I don't have the game / rules so I can't confirm. The card says "Use when any player is shot", whereas they used them sometimes after the player had already been shot. It definitely doesn't sound to be in the spirit of the game to be able to decide to block a shot after the shot has revealed that the player is the Agent/Kingpin, or for the Agent/Kingpin to be able to block a shot with the equipment that they got from being shot. It seems a case of just not being strict on the rules for the sake of entertainment and keeping the game going, rather than the game being at fault.
It's a rehash ? but they are nothing alike ? and even if they were, night of the ninja is the far newer of the 2, so wouldnt that make it the rehash of this game ?
My very favourite thing about this game is that (tested with 6 players, idk if it works for other numbers) it is absolutely possible for the leader of a team to be the ONLY person on that team, eg: A (h) (h) K (h) (h) (h) (c) (c) (h) (c) (c) (h) (c) (c) (h) (c) (c) Here the agent would be the ONLY good player! Isn't that fun!
By far the game that has caused the biggest fights in my game group. And it's not even close. Objects are OP and someone just basically complained that they aren't supposed to be played the way I and rules said ....never again in our group.

“Shooting people is the best form of social deduction.”
- Dom, 2022
Shoot first, ask questi-oh wait, we can’t question a crook with a bullet lodged in their uvula
"You always win, unless you lose"
-Sully, 2022
That is a true statement. in many social deduction games you kill to confirm even if you think they might be on your team. Sometimes it's most important to just kill to confirm either you or the person you killed
And now it is confirmed, ge really is Stalin
There’s something wholesome about Dom and Sully working together after a generation of Dom hunting Sully down.
Tilly is outstanding with the dry sense of humor. I feel like her and Tom should have a podcast. Drier than the Sahara at noon in August
"Please Consider Listening with Tom and Tilly".
@@Hawkeye26 I totally agree with you, John and Adam.
LOVE Tilly
I love how this has just degenerated into.."How can we screw Adam over this time?"
at the end when he was already screwed they went for 2nd available option, the bo to the brown XD
Oh are you talking about the whole of the year 2022?
Laurie has a HUGE tell. When he was the Kingpin, he was calm and quiet, with a determined, cool poker face. When he was a simple crooked or good cop, he was animated and very active in the conversing, accusing, and all around jokery. 😆😆😆
"Will our players be bobbies or bobbins" ... you were exceedingly proud of that one, Adam.
Dom: "The only way I can feel safe is if I have a gun!"
Me, an American: "You've been talking to too many Americans."
Sully: "It's the American way..."
Me: "Thank you, Sully."
Me, also an American: I see nothing wrong with this.
@@SquallLionhart409 Me, still an American: I definitely do.
The only way to stop a bad Dom with a gun is a good Laurie with a gun.
😊😊
12:23 12:41 12:41
I love the idea of these good and bad cops coming together trying to find out who's on whose side, and immediately they are all pointing guns at each other before saying anything.
Don't worry Dom. You just have to wait 2 more episodes, then 3 prequel episodes, then another 3 episodes and you'll get your medal.
Are you suggesting that Dom is a Wookie?
Big fan I like the addition of Tilly.
Agreed, I want Tilly and Tom in every episode!
The calm people on this show are a pretty good contrast for the energetic ones, and therefore needed.
@@Niemandnpmwho is Tom?
The Blood on the Clocktower roleplaying host.
Tilly’s sad little “no 🥺” is so funny
I hope y'all keep bringing Tilly back because she's fantastic. Good energy and quite humorous
I love the headcanon that, after a dozen or more cases at his previous precinct went unsolved because everyone ignored him, Laurie finally transfers out and immediately goes deeply deeply crooked.

They do have the signiture Kingpin hair and outfit going on, plus they are generally evil in games so I'd agree with that statement.
Laurie: "Why are you aiming at me?"
Adam and Rosie: "I mean, you ARE a ginger."
Tilly, Sully, Dom, Rosie, and Laurie!!!!!! What a treat!!!
Oh Adam's there too.
Poor Adam. I like him.
@@Human_Earthlinghe plays the character of villain but I think most people know it's just for fun and he's a necessary addition
Dom and Rosie have really taken over as my favorites. They also have the best episode of lord of the board.
Ahh yes, the pair that we've all been waiting for. A pair more powerful than Team SullyTom. Team Dolly.

Thank you for keeping this updated, I very much appreciate it each time I come into the comments section.
“I’m good at board games!”
-Adam Blampied
@@tobythenpc7040 Blood on the Clocktower.
what a turnaround I guess?
Them immediately creating a situation where only Adam loses is hilarious.
I feel like by Adam declaring he will win 20 boardgames, he became the official bullying target. That final match was brutal
The "i saved you f'ing life" reminded me of the call of duty meme, the guy with the most damage, vs the guy with 5 damage but 7 kills. "We're equal!"
This channel makes me wish I'd got into board games...and...um...that I had friends....
So excited to start watching this one. Haven't seen Jon in a while. I miss his paranoid antics. Hope he's doing OK
I think he's on his honeymoon
@@deedracollinwood9045 Oh wonderful ❤ With the world how it is unfortunately I assume everything is bad 😫 Congratulations to them ❤
he was in Australia and got married over there.
@@laurabenham9468 Yes, he was just posting about his flight back home the other day. We’ll see him soon.
In retrospect:
Adam's card says the player who is shot is shot a second time; Laurie's equipment does nothing, and the Kingpen should've been killed immediately.
"I don't think you're going to get a medal"
"Does everyone get a medal apart from me?"
Got a distinct Dick Dastardly and Mutley vibe from this part of the video 😂
EDIT: The whole video!
Watching this and Dom’s ‘forty years on the force bit’ made me want very much to see him play Sheridan Whiteside in Man Who Came To Dinner so much. He would be perfect in the role.
Sully’s meltdown at the end when he had to go honest. 😂😂😂😂😂
Not at all surprised Sully had a gun pointed at him halfway through the first round of the first game, just surprised it wasn't Dom holding the gun
Tilly's voices are amazing! How did they get such a great network of personalities to be part of NRB? My friends aren't nearly this much fun...
Having run a TTRPG youtube channel for a while so knowing how we recruited, and from the context cues of multiple of them being aspiring actors..... yeah you recruit from the local Uni either directly or through friends of friends. Not all acting students are good at improv (oh yeah, recruit improv people ideally) but they come with a lot of understanding about camera presence, audio levels etc etc.
I’ve watched this and the Comunopoly. I can confidently say that I love Dom.
There are so many wonderful members of the team that any episode of BGC is worth a watch. So glad i got on board with this channel!
Plausible deniability knocked on Tilly's door and she told it to go home for the night. Legitamitely made for some hilarious moments
57:42 “40 years on this force, and my 42nd birthday soon.” Dom entered the force at the age of 2
This episode feels like Adam's face turn. Battered, outnumbered, but still fighting with a smile on his face.
I absolutely love that Rosie explained the entire process of playing the game, ultimately ending on a note akin to "I have no clue what to do".
Exactly the process of these games. They are great. Buy them all.
Dom is absolutely me in board games when I play with my friends. Just bring the chaos and at whatever opportunity, be petty. Someone did something that negatively affected me in a previous session? Welp looks like you aren't having fun this next one lol
Just imagine a procedural sitcom involving this crew! 🤣
One of my favorite games. It's an excellent blend of party and strategy, not too much of either to demean the other.
@5:48 I had no idea Dom was American.
Oh it's the same cast from last recording! I wonder if Tilly can weather this craziness...or perhaps reveal she's worse than Adam, Dom and Rosie combined!
They are wearing the same clothes so it most be recorded directly after the last recording!
@@LillaJag Oh that certainly must be the case. One of the first things I noticed
God I love Dom. :D He's the person at a board game group that you always want to have fun antagonizing for the best results (respectfully).
51:13 Oh Adam, you had him. It doesn't specify that the gun has to be POINTED at him. Just that the PLAYER is shot a second time after he's shot once.
Don’t correct him! He’ll include you in his next comment reading!
For the thousands in attendance, and the millions watching at home...llllllllet's get ready for funnyyyyyy!
Love you folks, keep up the awesome content!

When Sally said "one more job and you can live with your wife" it gave me flashback to the fiasco game.
1:16:46 Adam is a social construct, people like shooting the idea of “Adam” rather than Adam himself.
I had to go back but Laurie mentioning Springfield police almost sent me off the bed laughing. I live in Springfield Massachusetts so that amused me greatly! I love this episode it made me forget the pain my finger is causing me. Great job and I don't think I've ever seen Tilly so I'm happy to 'meet' her!

Adam got absolutely shafted the entire episode. 😂😂😂😂
THIS WAS BEFORE SULLY GOT SHAFTED BY TILLY OMG
This seems like it would be absurdly fun but also destroy friendships
Right up my alley
King Dom is ALWAYS welcome
I appreciate Adam's 60's R&B reference.
When Dom switched Tilly's agent card for Adams crooked card she was technically still good because Dom already switched all Adams crooked cards to be honest and honest to be crooked
Are you allowed to use the riot shield after a player reveals their cards? I think the riot shield probably requires using without knowing what the player you're using it for has as cards.
Tilly should be on everyone from here on out! Dream girl
53:56 I see the communopoly is retribution for this moment
Loving the Tilly '2002 Brock Lesnar push'
Janice Jonson-Johnson-Johnson-Jonson: the board game.
6:48 Wow, Communopoly was prophecied this far in advance?
I would love to see you guys play love letter, I think with this crew it would be both a hoot AND a hollar lol
Tilly switching Sullivan over to the good team was bloody brilliant.
I think Dom made it thru this one without unraveling
Let’s go! It’s the best time of the week!!!
MORE TILLY!!!!
Go on Adam, you can win!
Very entertaining watching y’all at 1am in my time zone talking shit and being evil and causing mischief! 😂

Omg! The cards are 2 shields! I’ve been seeing them as a peanut shell the whole game 😂😂😂😂
Look, they're just beat cops, Adam! It's not called "Good Detective, Bad Detective."
Just noticed Dom has tiny hands. No I mean TINY hands. Like baby small hands. Now I can't stop looking at his hands.
Welcome to the world of promotions Dom, that's just how they do it
Tilly is a great addition!
More Tilly please NRB crew! Excellent addition!
I fuckin love rosie. What an agent of chaos :D
Ooh one of my favorite game!! This'll be fun!
now is there a rule about what happens if you end up with two crooked and the agent or two honest and the kingpin? do you just kill yourself?
Dom started working at this station when he was one year old they called Him office baby in fact they still do it's rather hurtful
I feel the flavor of the baton implies that equipment like that can be used after a shot is declared to change who is being shot....
I can't wait till they all have to play monopoly with adam
All the evidence needed for thw court case in Doms inevitable murder trial
"Shooting people is the best form of social deduction". - Dom.
It's Tuesday night(for me at least)! And you know what that means!
Dom is hilarious !
My very favourite thing about this game is that (tested with 6 players, idk if it works for other numbers) it is absolutely possible for the leader of a team to be the ONLY person on that team, eg:
A (h) (h)
K (h) (h)
(h) (c) (c)
(h) (c) (c)

Here the agent would be the ONLY good player! Isn't that fun!
sullys mob voice is on point tho can we take a moment to appreciate it
That final round was Pure Chaos
dom is so fun to watch
Brilliant, this channel is amazing - good work!
Mustard is a sauce
sully and rossy mis there highfive makes me smile every time
This game looks like an immense amount of fun.
By far the game that has caused the biggest fights in my game group. And it's not even close. Objects are OP and someone just basically complained that they aren't supposed to be played the way I and rules said ....never again in our group.
Turn order in this game makes absolutely no sense but it was so fun to watch anyway lmao
@6:50 The foreshadowing here to communist monopoly is incredible haha
Exactly! He was born for it
