As a total board game nerd, I loved this video! I’ve always loved The Babylon Bee, but knowing that they know board games, makes me love them even more 😘🥰😍
We never played monopoly at my house probably for that reason. However me and my brother played chess every once in a while and lost one of the pawns after someone lost and then we decided we wouldn't play that anymore
Six cousins sitting around the table playing Monopoly... the oldest was at perpetual war with his younger brother and he would always be the banker and slip money under the table to the rest of us...
I hate playing with people who take it as a personal insult when you do something to cross them in the game. "Oh nooo, how could you do that to meeee, I hate you!" My gamer group treats it as a matter of course that everyone will always take the path doing the most possible damage to opponents. We all nod approvingly and remain the best of friends 😅
When someone lands on your property in Monopoly, the proper response is to gleefully shout "MINE!" and declare what they owe while extending your palm toward their face. Another classic is to play Uno in pairs and become combative with your teammate about who goes out first. "Uno, make it GREEEEN!!!" [sends death stare across the table]
Wow, the Bee are even cooler than I thought before. It's always a pleasant, unexpected surprise to find Tabletop gamers with traditional morals and values.
I have to thank The Bee and it's article (not a quote) "Board games that are really from Satan" some years ago for introducing me to Deliverance. I was hooked right from the start. Beautiful and incredible in every respect. Bursting with a genuine love for scripture and christian "lore". Plus it is teaching me to pray more 😊
1:32 Excellent choice of game for needing to pay attention to when your turn is. For anyone who doesn't know the game, it's a numbered deck of cards 1-100 (or maybe 1-99), only a handful are dealt to the players, and you have to put them down in numerical order without any sort of communication. So you have to pay close attention to when you think is the right time to play your lowest card, and depending on the luck of the draw, one person could end up emptying their hand before anyone else needs to play a card.
Extra tip, smashing pieces is especially helpful with table top games, really "hammers" home the point when you're character dies and everyone is happy to spend an extra several hours and $60 on a new character model.
For a legit tip: If you have very competitive people playing, never ever bring a game that forces people to decide who they go up against (such as Risk) or even worse, make alliance against 1 specific person. It'll always cause drama!
These tips will give you a mostly peaceful game night the same way the 2020 riots were mostly peaceful protests!😄And Deliverance sounds like a neat game; we‘ll check it out!
My Ex-Wife had a wine induced freakout after I won at Catan. I thought she was going to flip the glass dining room table. Our friends promptly left and never came back.
I have a game called Trial By Trolley where one plater is a conductor and the other players lay people down on a track and you pick which group to run over. Like, one side will have a preschool class and the other will have a box of kittens. Such wholesome family fun there.
Sleeping, commenting on others mistakes in a very besserwisser way, eating snacks and licking and sucking your fingers loudly before you put your hands on game pieces, cards and dice. Farting is also good.
FFG had a Game of Thrones version of Diplomacy and I thought that'd be great for a game night at the student veteran club. We had a lot of fans of the books and the show there (pre-season 8, lol). It nearly ended in a fist fight. I was hoping you had swapped out the genestealer model for the hammering but then you zoomed in on it. Ouch.
In monopoly, my brothers and cousins would do this thing with a fork, where once you went bankrupt, we'd take your piece, put it on the end, and slam our fist on the prongs to send it flying into the next room and thats how you left the table... To go get it.
I wouldn't think Deliverance would be a game like that. I was thinking a role playing game like the movie. Very wholesome. I saw 1/2 of it and there's nothing like a good ol' camping trip on the river.
We played Dungeons and Dragons first freaking edition way back in the day and we had a couple of the guys who were so generally boisterous that when they were "attacking the orc" they didn't just say it, they got up and starting doing it. Man, these boys would put on the moves, they would cut some capers. D&D first edition was always a good time with those wild men onboard.
I remember playing first edition way back when. I was so mad my thief was eaten by a Gelatinous Cube. To this day I'm still in morning over my halfling thief 😢
@@Joreel One of the guys was married and didn't game with us as much, but when he did he always enjoyed the herb that was being passed around. He tried DMing one night but got so high he would go from one book to the other and just kind of wonder what he was doing. A new guy was there too but he got bored with the lull in the action and asked us if the dice that were on the table called "hit dice". We said they were. So he started picking up the dice, throwing, and "hitting" our stoned-rookie-married DM with them. Our DM was being hit with the hit-dice. It was such a good idea we all started doing it.
I know it's not possible to do a 3 play checkmate in chess (4 moves is minimum), but I have done a 3 turn win in Risk with 4 players. It's all about killing people for their cards and continuing the raid party, to invade at least 1 territory any continent that is maxed so they can't get extra reinforcements on their next turn. Take their cards before they turn in. If you really wanna nerd out on Risk read the MIT paper on Risk Game Theory... Start in Australia if you can.
That was funny. Now, I actually do have some serious points for board game nights: 1. Food needs to be involved. - It might be everyone brings a snack to share, it might be ordering pizza, it might even be homemade food with some of the people cooking right before gaming starts. In whatever case, food makes game nights better. - Match the food to the type of game. This doesn't mean an Aztec dish for an archaeology game; it just means that tacos, soup, and messier foods are poor matches for games with lots of sudden activity (ironically, this means that you don't want to combine soup and spoons if you mean the game 'spoons'). 2. Scheduling may be the most difficult thing. - Finding a time when 4-6 adults have mutually compatible schedules is rough. If it's a regular group, then it might be possible to have a specific time that the people know in advance to not plan other things for. 3. If it's a more complicated game, take time to get people's questions on the rules or start out slowly. -It will seem to move at a snail's pace when you've been doing it for years. Helping people find the right number on a sheet to add to a roll gets tedious after the dozenth time. Still, that's the only way they'll learn.
I'm afraid I was mostly captivated by the Stater Bros jacket. Used to shop there as a teen in California, could even get comic books there back in the day. Not here in Arizona though. Pity.
My favorite version of monopoly: Democrat Version. No one pays rent, you can burn down other people’s houses and hotels, and the banker can use the money however they want. Also if you have over 2000 dollars you don’t have to go to jail because you’re rich.
explain the logic of your decisions, as the group may fail to see the intrinsic brilliance of yourself and so explain it to them in detail, even taking the move back and going over it in slow motion complete with showcasing how the coalescence of the multiparametric decision drivers were used in both game historical contexts as well as behavioral/probabilistic future winning strategies this helps the group not only play well but live well - they are needy for you! step up!!
I need one of these but for cards games - like 10 Tips to be the best at MTG/Yugioh/Pokemon/other TCG examples - after winning tell your opponent "They are a third rate duelist with a fourth rate deck" before shaking hands, spit in your palm to assert your dominance before the round begins if your opponent is close to victory, threaten to flip the table, or if its already too late...you already did
No way. I was just about to comment, "Step one for hosting a peaceful game night: don't play Diplomacy," But y'all already beat me to the punch! I didn't know that anyone else even KNEW about Diplomacy!
Not being a purveyor of legacy media content I thought the fiery but mostly peaceful protests was just a joke. Then I saw the clips. I was stunned. In a country where people spend lots of money on bloody, dead things to decorate their yard for Halloween I guess it really shouldn’t surprise me. I can’t understand how people don’t question these news headlines or decorations of death, among other things. A worldview definitely makes a difference.
You forgot about joining a group with an unfamiliar game, lose at it, then throw a fit that the game isn't inclusive and make up rules because it's equity to your shortcomings.
If your Board Game Night is peaceful, something is wrong. Most people would think Board Games are boring, but we know that they will turn into the sweatiest shit you have ever seen. It isn't about winning a game, it's about proving your mental superiority.

Nice call out to Diplomacy. The most stress inducing game of all time!
Even more stressful than Candy Land.
Now with 100% more backstabbing
Never tried Diplomacy, but it looks interesting. If people want stress and betrayal, I would recommend playing Paranoia to fulfill that.
I was told my whole personality changed when I played Diplomacy. No, the ruthless part of me was always there.
2:04 a moment of silence for the poor piece that sacrificed itself for the sake of comedy
Many life was lost.
Yeah, I was laughing along until that moment. Then I stopped, as though the joke had gone too far.
Constantly taunting your opponents actions with the phrase, "Worst Move Ever," said in the voice of the Simpson's Comic Book Guy is always a winner.
I hate playing with people who take it as a personal insult when you do something to cross them in the game. "Oh nooo, how could you do that to meeee, I hate you!"

They are everywhere, but they don't usually get television shows or popular RUclips channels.
02:02 - Oh my god, he actually smashed it! The mad lad!
The mad lad actuallly did it.
You even slow panned the camera so that we could see the smashed little Tyranid.
The sand timer is cruel, but necessary. Alternatively, you can pointedly play games with time limits when "that person" is there on game night.

What are some other ways to increase your popularity while playing board games?
Sleeping, commenting on others mistakes in a very besserwisser way, eating snacks and licking and sucking your fingers loudly before you put your hands on game pieces, cards and dice. Farting is also good.
