I just have to say, these board game videos are my favorite from Funhaus now. Especially when they play games that involve some sort of deception like Coup or Sheriff of Nottingham.
Deception-based board games are my favourites in general. In a lot of games, you're really wrestling with the game's systems, more than the other players in the game with you. But games about player trust, deception, politics and power dynamics strip all the mechanical struggle away, and make the other human beings at the table into the most important elements in the game.
@34:27 Died at Elyse's sorrowful and disappointed "Jon" and James and Adam busting out in laughter. And at 40:28 with the interrogation and reasoning with Jon. Whew. Poor Jon. What a great gameplay; one of my faves.
Elyse: So we are just getting this for the drunk Smash thing? James: *eyes dart back and forth* y-yeah and it would be funny if you wore it and nothing else...
James is a creepily good liar. Like, he seems so genuine until the moment he wins or gets caught. It did kinda show during Coup and other games of that manner but it really shines through in this one.
Not Quite Dovahkiin what’s even scarier is he also tries to gaslight you into thinking he was mistaken. It’s for comedic effect but damn, if he actually did that for evil he can.
So Achievement Hunter just did this game also. Gotta say, you guys are absolutely stomping them in production value with the board games show. Great work. Also, the editor calling out the cheating (even if it's accidental), is fantastic.
I wanted to play this game with my friends for months. Last week I had an argument with some of them and have since blocked all of them on everything that I could think of. Now with Covid, I don't see anyone, even for school. I'm envious of how well you all get along. You all can pick on each other or make jokes but you all care about each other so much that you're still sincere about it. I know Jon was diagnosed as bipolar, so it's really nice to see that he still can feel comfortable with you guys and have fun like this. I wish I could have something like this. I love how Elyse and Adam are just nice to each other for most of the game. How James and Elyse are being wacky. How Jacob is just trying to take the roleplay to a whole other level. How Jon always tries to make the galaxy brain play. How Adam can just squeeze in one line and it makes everyone laugh. I hope when Covid gets to a more manageable situation, Board as Hell comes back right away because this was one of the things keeping me going from week to week, living vicariously through you all, but I know you guys try to make videos that a majority of people want to see, so if it's not right away, I'll just have to wait until then.
The interactions between James and Elyse during the "Five Chickens" scene were oddly heart-warming. I don't know, but it was kind of cool to see the two so close and intimate despite the humorous bit.
Pausing at 23:00 in just to say thanks to the editor. I'm kind of a big-dumb-idiot so when I watch these gameplays, while they are my favorite things you guys put out aside from those cosplay videos, I get lost after a bit or stay lost the whole time. So thanks for putting the rules on screen whenever the segment for said rules comes up. I appreciate it. Not sure what Adam did that was "sneaky sneaky" though but I'm sure I'll find out eventually and thank the editor for the sound cue haha.
Around 5 min in, James tries to pull his hair back, indicating that he once had at least shoulder length hair for a long time which makes perfect sense for james.
James was killing it this round. Tricking people into breaking alliances with double-bluffing and no facial expression whatsoever in the front of threats.
I don't have any friends to play board games with so it's always nice to watch other people live their dreams while I learn how to tie noose knots in the next tab over

Lmfao I love Elyse's disappointed mom face when John didn't have 3 apples
"I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed."
With James and Adam cackling like his brothers.
she wanted to give him coins back and he had contraband lmao
34:26
34:26
Damn. James knowing John was gonna betray him was low key genius.
27:02
Beautiful karma.
Yeah, that was a master move. James is always very good at reading the intentions of his opponents in this kind of games.
The lowest key of genius
Funhaus has really been killing it recently. Good job yall
😢
Nothing good lasts forever, I guess.

@@tbotalpha8133 couldn't agree with you more!
Their Secret Hitler boardgame vid is hilarious.
Elyse when she caught Jon with his "apples" gave that *I am not mad, I am just disappointed* "Jooon..."
Cookie Chocolatechip I’m pretty sure y’all are confusing James and elyse
Every sunday now I keep looking forward to these videos.
@34:27 Died at Elyse's sorrowful and disappointed "Jon" and James and Adam busting out in laughter.
And at 40:28 with the interrogation and reasoning with Jon. Whew. Poor Jon.
What a great gameplay; one of my faves.
Every few months I come back to watch that moment, it will never not be funny.
Id love to see David Bowie play some board games.
Just have the entire group playing life in the characters but bruce gets skipped every other time lmao
They could play the old Labyrinth board game and all be different versions of Bowie.
What year do you think it is?
Judging by the stuff Funhaus talks about. 1997
Ì'm convinced James is actually Bowie in hiding. Everyone knows he's not dead anyway, the only way david bowie could die is with a bowie knife... duhh
Adam did great this game. Tricking people to open his bags.
Yea but he cheated so he came last despite his money
@@RandomNirvanaSXE id hardly call discarding extra cards in 1 round 'cheating', especially when he seems unfamiliar with the game
So now we know why they bought the fox costume.
It was all an elaborate scheme to give James an excuse to get his yiff on
Elyse: So we are just getting this for the drunk Smash thing?
James: *eyes dart back and forth* y-yeah and it would be funny if you wore it and nothing else...
2:36 elyse.exe has stopped working.
34:28 James and Adam syched up.
Hey, when you spend enough time together with someone, sometimes you just Maze Runner.
@@P0rk_Sinigang I see what you did there
These games show that James is an evil genius for how skilled he is at dishonesty and predicting people
those are some weird looking chickens
James fucking REVELS in dishonesty in games like this. I love it.
god todays been one of the best days for content i loved the band manger "gameplay" and board as hell is my favourite series. YOU GO WILLEMS
*Willems
*Wilhelms
*ziggy
@@TomThorn4 😂
It’s always a pleasure to see Elyse playing games. She’s such a sweetheart.
Even when she’s swindling you out of your money for some apples.
Man I wait all week for board as hell.
Also 34:26 is gold
Disappointed mother
A disappointed mum, finding cigarettes
Uroboro z
James and Adam breaking down is the best part because it's so immediate
James played the shit out of Jon, that was hilarious. 27:02 to 28:00 was gold.
That was some god-tier anime "You think you've won BUT" shit, lol
“What do you owe him?” “An apology first and foremost
James is a creepily good liar. Like, he seems so genuine until the moment he wins or gets caught.

Dear God this is the only channel i watch on YT.
At least it was a good choice
God is not in this place
Funhaus and best of Funhaus videos are all YT needs.
Jacob and Jon, what a treat.
And Jon wasnt constantly shat on this time
Adam has a great Andre the Giant impression
What movie was that from
@@Joehawk88 Princess Bride
Next time I get pulled over for speeding: "I thought it was a chicken"
“Jacob...we both know there isn’t five bread in here.” She sounded like a disappointed mother and it was hilarious.
why does the word sheriff look like shrek
IKR
SOME-
Rationalace99 okay I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that read/saw it as shriek
I know, it's the same layout and the exact same color, it's so weird that the creator choose those...
I know what you mean lol
I don't think it's fair to call Adam a cheater when he only learned the rules 6 minutes ago
19:30 James: "that's why i triple checked the bag.. to make sure i put the contraband in it"😂
Adam is almost Buff up as Jimmy Hollywood. James better watch out. Just noticed the sheriff font is almost like the Shrek font.
yeah i thought they were playing a shrek game lol
I love the cheating shame edits these videos have had lately
I am a firm believer that Adam, at any given time, of any day, has little to no idea what is happening.
So Achievement Hunter just did this game also. Gotta say, you guys are absolutely stomping them in production value with the board games show. Great work.
Also, the editor calling out the cheating (even if it's accidental), is fantastic.
Secret Hitler is coming back? Featuring Joel?! It's gonna be great!
Elyse pecking James was the best part of this video

The sanctity of Board as Hell has been ruined. First Elyse, now Adam? Will the cheating ever stop?
Well Elyse "cheating" was actually just her screwing herself over.
Adam you beast, thank god someone tried it.
20:40 "a..pple.." ʕ￫ᴥ￩ʔ jon is such a great addition to these episodes !! such a fun boy
James just sticking to the "I thought that was a chicken" story the entire game.
What?!? No one said 'as the cards dictate'?
Bruce wasn't playing
31:09 Adam finally figures out the game.
Elyse the puppet master showing her true powers
I love Adam's "Bread Giver" voice.
2:37-3:00 Elyse looks like she is having an existential crisis haha
Ok. This is epic
14:32 - "Oooh jingle-jangle!"
Elyse and James are the dominant board game couple of the universe
Why is Adam's giant voice so good
I’m from Nottingham, and I thought the funniest part of this video was when James called it a ‘law abiding town’
I am pretty sure Elyse got most of her money because Jacob just gave it to her
Can we take a moment to talk about how good looking Jon Smiff looks in this video???
24:15
me watching pre-scandal: I dont like that he kinda cheats...
me watching post-scandal: . . .

Pausing a minute and 30 seconds later to say "bah gawd that cheatin' willy!" Thanks again, editor, you're a saint.
Because of this show I'm now a massive board game geek. I've never been happier but my wife is annoyed at our non existent shelf space ha
Glad I am a first member! That post show defiantly makes the first membership worth it.
Defiantly?
Denafitly?
How long is that? And what do they talk about? I may subscribe to first if interesting.
@@tirullow6313 He's joking, James said at the end of the video that the winner was going to have sex with the fox in the post show.
Preganante?
James and his "chicken's" take this show if you ask me. I was dying laughing every time. Thank you Funhaus.
James's first lie was amazing. It really got me good
Stop watching as much for a couple of months but the last couple of weeks have brought me back to refreshing daily for new videos!
That John vs James moment was fantastic. 27:40
57:00 James with the Last Dragon theme, one of the best 80s flix there is.
Knew someone else had to get it!
Love the board as hell series!!!
Everyone was really on point in this episode. Firing on all cylinders, consistently funny
“Gotta sell some stuff, bang a fox”
“Is that it…?”
“No we’ll do a real intro”
Amazing
I like how Elyse says "if you're going to open it just open it" then she herself does the whole countdown bait thing later.
34:20 I love how Elyse said that like a disappointed mom. I was laughing my ass off
Thank you Funhaus!
1:11:17 im so happy to see this
Eylse wearing gulf Wang merch?
god i love the board game show shenanigans, it's always just a lot of quality interaction
I want cowchop to play board games like this with you guys, idc whether its on this channel or on cc 😭😭
Around 5 min in, James tries to pull his hair back, indicating that he once had at least shoulder length hair for a long time which makes perfect sense for james.
These board game videos are by far my favourite funhaus videos aside from some of the inside gaming chaser stuff
I love every time James tried getting "chickens" through. 😂
I love James’ “thats not a chicken?” Joke, its so good
24:19 that did not age well.
That James play was genius!!!
34:28 I like how Elyse talked to John like a disappointed mother.
James was killing it this round. Tricking people into breaking alliances with double-bluffing and no facial expression whatsoever in the front of threats.
Its always fun watching James lead a game and fucking up multiple rules with such confidence.
Adam: “Pay the toll!”
Me: The trolls toll??
This has to be the best Funhaus series, keep it up!
James wilems is my spirit animal
GOD A PERFECT MAN
These board game vids make my week. THe board games themselves are fun but also the interactions. Best thing on an already great channel
I am truly grateful for Funhaus and all the quality videos they put out on a regular basis
Digging the double buns elyse. Underrated hairstyle imo
Did anybody else just assume the thumbnail said “Shrek” because of the font lol🤩
I don't have any friends to play board games with so it's always nice to watch other people live their dreams while I learn how to tie noose knots in the next tab over
Jon's been in more and more videos lately and I always love him. That majestic beard.
Goddamn Penguino.
I want Bruce and Lawrence to play this one!
One of my favorites
jon and jacob in one video!! instant click and loop
The best new year present - another Board as Hell episode
This has to be one of my favorite Funhaus vids.
This is pure gold 34:28
I'm not mad Jon, I'm just disappointed
been working sick with the flu all week and I get to come home to this glory. thanks, love you guys Xoxo.
"Offspring, ever heard of it?"
Why yes I have! I stole that album from my dad when my parents got divorced because I didn't want to lose it!
Disappointed mom Elyse
Jesus James is too good. The bamboozle of jon
"YOLO... Fuck!"
Story of my life right there.
