The origin of sea shanties is an interesting one, they would use the song not only to boost morale but to keep in time when it came to working the rig. If the team wasn’t in the same time, catastrophe was inevitable, so they used song to keep in rhythm.
The scoring system seems heavily imbalanced. Money is worth so much more score than anything else. Every 100k in cash is worth 100 points, whereas every health/knowledge/wealth attribute is only 20 points. Unless you are competing for a crown in one of the areas, you should never spend 100k for 2 attribute points, as you will lose 60 points in the end score (100 potential points traded for only 40). For retirement, unless you are only 1-2 points away from claiming a crown, or if you have a crown and want to keep it, pension is much more effectives, gaining at least 10 points per round, with a chance of 100 points. While bucket list has a chance at a crown, and only 20 points maximum per round. The crown itself is worth 400 points, or 400k in cash value. The easiest strategy seems to be to invest fully into cash making, and claiming 1 crown, knowledge being the easiest it seems like, with guaranteed stop zones that give the attribute points.
To be fair, in the original everything was determined by the amount of money you had. They're kind of extending that. That said, the attributes don't give enough money to compensate that I suppose.
So, there IS such a thing as 'space shanties', if we count 'Filk' music. Back in the.. mid 60's I want to say, when sci-fi conventions first started happening, there were a lot of people who loved to make music involved, and so they started writing and recording themselves singing made up sci-fi folk music, which ended up being called 'Filk'. The arguably best known example of this is the album Carmen Miranda's Ghost. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filk_music
Loving your playthroughs of this game :) definitely want to see the other maps. Also thought it was funny that rik was 3rd to finish but complained most about high rolls 🤔
All i've learnt watching this, is never ever go bucket list. At the end, each of those hearts/knowledge/material items is worth 20 points. so each turn, you have a 50% chance of getting 20 points, or 0 points. If you go money, you get either 10k or 100k. Each 1k is worth 1 point. so... 50% chance of getting 10 points, or 100 points. The ONLY 'advantage' of bucket list, is if you are trying to get the most in a type for that 400 point bonus. But unless you are trying to keep that, or gain one... NEVER go bucket list.
I wish the themes would have continued into the spouse, children, and action cards. Just imagine marrying a slime monster and having vampire children. I like their idea of having trophies that they collected when they landed on actions tiles and maybe upgraded the cars that way as well.
I'd like to see more maps of this game. It's really fun watching you guys play this since I can't play it. Also, it's my wind down youtube show after work hehe.
Odds are actually weighted toward spinning low numbers---this is true, not because of any programming, but because faster numbers lead to a faster finish of the game. 2 comes up more than 10 during the course of the game on spins because the game is longer if you spin 2. It is possible to have longer streaks because of this.
There should be different actions depending on your map. Like for the spooky map go trick or treating for a heart. Or on the fantasy map learn magic spells for 2 knowledge points.
Did you guys not read the rules you can go negative and get bank loans. You can afford everything and just pay it back throughout the game . There are actions to pay back loans.
Cash is far more valuable in this game then any other attributes, at best if you spend 400k you get 80 points to 480 (only if you are lucky and get the crown). At retirement you on average get 55 points per spin where for bucket list you get 10 points on average per spin. (with the possibility if you are lucky and close enough getting 400) Seeing as cash directly = points you have the greatest chance of winning by strickly taking any opportunity that gets you more cash with out the other players getting anything. The 100k for 1 or 2 points in experiences is going to be a net lose as its 100 points to get a 20-40 return.
I am SO here for Ash singing and Price defending sea shanties! Let's just hand the steering wheel for coolness over to Gen Z already, there's a lot of real good kids that I'd be happy to let take over the future and all that comes with it!
All the marriage and kids/pets are good for is the hearts you get. Whether or not you have the money, you can choose to pay for the double attributes! If you don't have enough you just get debt/loans. Each loan gives you 50,000. There is a chance to get rid of your loans, but it is a small chance. It will happen if you land on an action space, but I think its a 10% chance to get it or something like that. Otherwise the game will deduct the loans from your total score at the end of the game. Also if you don't choose the married path, there is an opportunity if you land on an action space towards the end to get married.
Just a theory, I think if you do the spin where the pointer is in the high numbers, you will get a low number, and visa versa if you do a full spin in the other region.
I just realised at 5:47 you get 1 heart for being married. You get 2 hearts for buying TAKEOUT. You must really love that Chinese place or just hate your partner.
I thought this last time you played but now I. Going to say it the bucket list should have been balanced so that blacks were a chance to get one thing and red was a chance to get two things so that you didn't lose out like that. It just seams like it is messing with you to give you nothing if you roll red multiple times in a row.
Same. Actions should be unique too instead of providing a point or money. For example maybe "Go on a road trip" could let you move 1-5 spaces forwards.
Ash singing sea shanty's give me life!!
Why did the scarecrow get a promotion? Because he was outstanding in his field.
That’s so bad and good at the same time
this is so good
HAHÆHAHÆ
now listen here you little shit... i got nothing, you made me laugh, but it was still bad!
The origin of sea shanties is an interesting one, they would use the song not only to boost morale but to keep in time when it came to working the rig. If the team wasn’t in the same time, catastrophe was inevitable, so they used song to keep in rhythm.
Remembers that one youtube video of a guy with no rhythm playing a rhythm game.
Well he’s definitely going to be tossed overboard.
I really enjoyed when Price took on the persona in the first game.
I love this game, please play more!!
Seconded!
I love this game, please do more. I'd like to see Rik win one.
Same

Yeah... it's kinda messed up. Thank you for doing the math
Money in this version is actually very nerfed from the original
Please upvote this so Stumpt sees this.
To be fair, in the original everything was determined by the amount of money you had. They're kind of extending that. That said, the attributes don't give enough money to compensate that I suppose.
Might be worth it feels like if you can snatch the leader position
Also having high knowledge for better job would be good too
The developers did a good job with clue and this game of life. Excited to pick it up.
Werewolf groomers requiring a college degree raises some interesting implications.
Werewolves have high standards, mind you.
Please play this one more! It's so much fun to watch. I love it when you guys play digited board games. ❤️

Ash: aight imma start singing sea shantys cause my boat is bigger
Me: WAY HAY AND UP SHE RISES EARLY IN THE MORNING
Rik: Complains about rolling low
Also Rik: Complains when he rolls a ten
Love the content Stumpt! Big Fan!
please keep playing this game i really enjoy see you guys play this game!!
Love it when y’all play these types of board games!

"I want to get a kid so my boat expands" ~ Ash
Would love to see more of this so Rik can get another chance.
I wish the themes would have continued into the spouse, children, and action cards. Just imagine marrying a slime monster and having vampire children. I like their idea of having trophies that they collected when they landed on actions tiles and maybe upgraded the cars that way as well.
That's what I've been saying. Actions for the spooky map could be like "Go trick or treating"
You guys are amazing I’ve been watching for 5 years now you guys rock
20:34 I love y’all so much lol
Rik, as someone who enjoys both sea shanties and swing music, I am offended sir.
You can in fact go into negative money in this game, you end up taking out a loan that you have to pay off by the end.
oh my god I love you guys for singing Whalers on the moon!
Once again Price has a spider buddy and it needs a name. But also this game is super adorable
They should have like a scapbook at the end with all the events that you've been through
Aww Rik! Don't hate on the sea shanties! The wellerman is excellent! But also is Renaissance and PIrate festivals. Good memories and fun times.
Man I love it when y’all play board games!
OMG i love your videos thanks for insiring me to create a yt channel so much thanks!!!!
Please play this more! I love this game and want to see the other maps!
Recently just watched your previous video on this and I was looking for more! Thanks for this :)
This game reminds me of that party panic mode you played with kakujo years ago I don’t know the style of the map reminds me of it a lot
Hi you are one of my favourite youtubers and I subscribed
I want to clarify this for Rik, the crown would result in you having an additional 420 points. While that might seem a lot, you’d still be last place
I’m really enjoying the content, let’s see those other maps!
I'd like to see more maps of this game. It's really fun watching you guys play this since I can't play it. Also, it's my wind down youtube show after work hehe.
Can't wait to see more of these type of game!
Yay! Spooky Town! Thanks for playing this one Stumpt! Great episode😉
Love to see the other maps
I’m just waiting for Price and Ash to just belt out “Randy Dandy O” at this point, every time I hear a sea shanty I get flashbacks to Black Flag

Rik said a Parks and Rec reference and I finally understood it!
GET AN ALPACA!!! omg love how they play this game)
There should be different actions depending on your map. Like for the spooky map go trick or treating for a heart. Or on the fantasy map learn magic spells for 2 knowledge points.
I really like this game. Keep it going guys
Thats also how it was in the original game
Retirement is the safe option while the other option was more risky.
The Basketball Rivaly continues on lol
Who needs a job when you can hustle Ash out of money?
Just wanna say bless your days and nights 💮
Did you guys not read the rules you can go negative and get bank loans. You can afford everything and just pay it back throughout the game . There are actions to pay back loans.
1 symbol yield 20 points. 100k yield 100 points. Leader in symbol X yield 400 points. Loan yield minus 100 points.
Please play more, this game is awesome!
I love sea shanties, been listening to them for years :)
👏👏👏 Top tier Space shanty lyrics
Just saw at 18:38 you can choose a masters level job in the top right over a baby/pet
just a weird bug

Shanties are wonderful

The game of life mirrors life: take it slow, look for opportunities, and never settle with one career or one location
Yep. If you rush through life, you will lose in the end. If you take it slow, you will find yourself in an Enriching Finale.

What do you need friend
All the marriage and kids/pets are good for is the hearts you get.

Also if you don't choose the married path, there is an opportunity if you land on an action space towards the end to get married.
Love the series
Just a theory, I think if you do the spin where the pointer is in the high numbers, you will get a low number, and visa versa if you do a full spin in the other region.
cant wait to see vr board games XD
I just realised at 5:47 you get 1 heart for being married. You get 2 hearts for buying TAKEOUT. You must really love that Chinese place or just hate your partner.
the regular mode has online course jobs
Sea Shanty's never left.
this has been fun
Love this game
They play mysterium in game of life with all this Medium job.
price said he don’t need compewitchin 😂😂
filk music is the closest thing to space shanties right now
This game just teaches you that flying through life doesn't win in the end.
Yeeees, I've been waiting for this.

When are you guys going to play monster camp. If you don't mind me asking.
JAZZY IS SOMEHOW A BOY AND LOVING BOYS !
-$ = loans = negative score
Yes this good
sea shanties are the most cool
Did Ash even talk in this game? I feel like he just play and let his friends do the talking
I miss the Jobs having special effects
Same. Actions should be unique too instead of providing a point or money. For example maybe "Go on a road trip" could let you move 1-5 spaces forwards.
So what do you do for a living? I play Ash in basketball...
well price's house was *unfortunate*
I say this much Rik shouldn’t bought cruise as there no way he could catch up ash and take his crown.
100k is worth 100 points a crown is worth 400 and 2 attributes (such as hearts) is worth 40 points though.
orange purple
Will team stupmt vs team rash happen? P.S. love you guys and gals
Nobody is gonna say anything about the cliff house from "series of unfortunate events?
We want see douse maps
Rik how DARE you talk bad about swing, thats my life blood! ; A;
