@@OfficalFlameInc and that is bad why exactly? :/ they all have their quirks and thats why they are soo entertaining. For me sully will forever be the greatest captain ever, and laur the moppiest of all moppys! They make a great team.
Couple of rule clarifications for anyone interested some that would of potentially changed the game: Kennel card only goes into the deck if there are dogs are in the kennel. The blood bag tokens get discarded and drawn face down. You only reveal it if you use it for a blood test. (allows thing players to hide or discard good ones) If someone is in green suspicion they don't put out tokens in a contagion check. They still draw 1 of the other players. If you don't draw a token in a check(from another player being green suspicion) you do not move up the suspicion track. They will still move up track from grabbing one. So two green players won't do a check at all. No contagion checks are performed in the dormitory. Laid down characters do not participate in checks or encounters and you lay your character down when you enter the dorm Also end game to get on rescue helicopter would be during phase 4. It would of been after new Alien phase 3 and a round of movement encounters/contagion checks.
Interesting. The only thing that would’ve been different based on your clarifications though is that Carly & Sully wouldn’t have had an encounter in the dorm so they wouldn’t have had the tense ending. Otherwise I believe the rest I’d the game was functionally the same.
@@courtney-ray The other thing that would have changed is the aliens would have got to do something after being outed but prior to getting on the helicopter. Since I don't know the game I don't know if that would have possibly changed anything, though.
The rulebook is a mess and some of the rules have been "clarified" or "errata'd" and it isn't always clear why. I absolutely love the game but but I don't agree with some of these clarifications; I am going to keep playing with the dorm still doing a contagion check because I can't think of a good thematic or mechanical reason why you shouldn't.
"Should've given me a gun. I could've shot the clouds!" The most appropriate joke to make while sitting next to Rosie "How Does Thunder Work?" Nichols 😂 OMG, Carly not realizing the "Daddy" bit was meant to be like actual children, and saying it all sexy, is the funniest thing since Teri's explanation of "Came" on Rude Scrabble 😂
@@maxwellcorbin4764 To my knowledge, Sully and Brooke are the only onscreen couple. I definitely know Blair has a boyfriend that's not Adam, I *think* Adam also has a girlfriend but I could be wrong. No clue about Laurie and Rosie but I doubt it
@@maxwellcorbin4764 No worries. If you're new to the channel, it's understandable that you don't get why I described that moment as "wholesome" because it's more about who they are as personalities (played up a bit for the camera, because basically all of them are trained actors XD). Laurie is essentially the channel grump, and Rosie is prone to random (but hilarious) cloud logic, so the pair of them having fun at the expense of Adam's long explanation was just a great little friendship moment.
@@maxwellcorbin4764 Highly recommended you stick around and keep watching the games that sound interesting to you... because once you start picking up on their dynamics and in-jokes, you see that what really sets this channel apart is the wonderful cast. They've made board games I never thought I'd enjoy watching absolutely hilarious!
The ending for this one was fantastically tense. Great job to everyone. Sully played especially well; I genuinely couldn't tell if he had been infected or not.
You can tell when Carly is good because she’s sad about it. If she’s good then she’s sad and stressed and apologetic. As soon as she seems confident, she’s definitely evil.
@@TehGamesaver To be fair, she masks Most of what theyre saying yes, but not all of it. Its much clearer to a viewer sure, but she stills behaves deppressed and apologetic when good, and balls to the walls no care in the world confident when evil. She only is unsure when they dont know exactly what to say and that is a universal about her not a good/evil split one. I know i have multiple little quirks that make noticing details like that much easier to me than a neurotypical person, and so am not surprised most of her fellow players can't distinguish these qualities when she plays BotC, but I can affirm they are still present and potentially readable to the most astute people readers.
Since it's the last video of the year I want to wish all at NRB a big thank you for the year's worth of fun videos and exciting board games to try. Here's hoping 2023 is just as awesome.
"Every week we gather a group of our friends here at Draughts board game cafe in London to play a game to show you how much fun you could be having if you had any friends to play board games with."
I feel sadistic saying this, but I love how emotionally taxing these kind of games are for this group. Peak entertainment. Thanks for everything. I'm so glad I found your channel this year. Here's to another!
Especially since it's the win condition of the traitor/monster. Usually they have to kill or convert everyone. That is probably the smartest win condition. Just lay low,, don't do much trouble until you can get away from the isolated place, then start snacking. And that applies not only to games but also to horror movies. How many monsters would've won if they just kept a low profile.
Remember that instead of playing a card from your hand, you can discard your hand and play one from the deck. It's risky, but better than a guaranteed sabotage, and Norris (Jon's character) can draw two from the deck and pick one.
After being subjected to a game of Monopoly over Christmas, I finally understand Adam’s suffering. I never thought I would be happy that he reached his 22 wins until now
Fun fact, monopoly was originally designed to be not fun, it was supposed to teach people the issues with late stage capitalism, but the game made a bunch of money so they kept making the game
wow. this was INCREDIBLE!! i don't think i'll ever find enough friends this dedicated to working out such an insanely complex game, but it was just as enjoyable to watch everything unfold like a movie - the tension!! the debates!! the betrayals!! just wonderful!!!
Suspected her right at the beginning and stayed on her as soon as she forced the encounter with Sully bc that totally felt like a Thing move to do right of the bat.
What an amazing Christmas present! Can't wait for the Rosie and Jon chaos. Thank you for a fantastic year and for getting my friends and me addicted to board games!
This has got to be my favorite episode of No Rolls Barred thus far. Without spoiling the ending, that final debate and the tension throughout of the Thing's endgame being to make it on the helicopter was absolutely insane. 10/10, can't wait for 2023
1:16:58 Poor Laurie was so uncomfortable in the Daddy roll call & I don't blame him (shudders) 1:24:14 NO Laurie, you must resist the Daddying! 1:37:48 STAHP! STAHP! The awkwardness! It buuuuurns! 2:20:32 Awww, Carley having the little trust moment with Adam is so sweet. 2:24:10 See, this is where all that Daddy talk gets you. 2:32:45 Aww man, the wholesomeness!
2:21:47 is the most stress releasing frame ever posted to youtube. shock, grief, terror, joy, a new appreciation for life... all in one shot edit: I watched the next minute and I've been betrayed. I will never move on from this betrayal
After how well Carley had bamboozled everybody historically in BOTC (especially John), I'm surprised that final vote went through as easy as it did. A Christmas miracle!
As someone who will never get enough people together to play this game, thank you for playing it! Amazing. I can just live through you. The movie The Thing is a favourite and this game matches it so thematically.
They must have repaired their relationship after what Brooke did to Sully when they played Western Legends and how she kept screwing with both him and Adam. "Why you wid me, Wild Bill?!"
I have the attention span of a tangerine and yet I couldn't get my eyes off the screen for two and a half hours of exhilarating entertainment!! I'm so glad my brother introduced me to you guys 😀 off to binge watching hours of board games playing I go 😏
What a delightfully stressful episode. I wanted to drop a heartfelt thank you to all the NRB crew for all of their hard work. You’ve brought a great deal of joy and comfort to many people and helped diminish my bank account buying games that brought joy and comfort to those dear to me. It’s a joy every week seeing fun people enjoying and spreading this fun hobby. Happy new year, nerds. 💜
I was so surprised that Carley wasn’t the thing at the end I thought as soon as she started taking control and big braining everything she was for sure guilty
Two observations (SPOILER ALERT): . . . . . . . . . 1) The looks of "I knew it!" and "Well, well, well!" that Adam gives when the Things are revealed. 2) The people that wanted to be Thing the least ended up as it! 🤣 A fantastic episode of Board Game Club to end 2022! I'm so glad I found this channel on RUclips! Happy New Year to the NRB team! 😊
Literally bought the game today and was going through your channel, seeing if you played it, when I received a notification of this upload.. You guys are the best!
I've only recently started watching this channel, but it's by far my favourite board game playing bunch. Adam makes a great, personable and knowledgeable host, and the kind of guy you'd be more than happy to spend time gaming with. The rest of the group seem great too. What an absolutely brilliant episode!
Holy cow what a video! A feature-length episode that was so tense all throughout. Those last few minutes were the things dreams are made of. An amazing end to an amazing year of Board Game Club. So glad I'm on board.
I need more Thing in my life!!! Like this game can be played so many different ways that I need multiple run-throughs of this on the channel! Especially just to see the fun thing mechanic!
LOVE this episode - one of the best playthroughs yet.. however Carly’s constant talking over everyone and quarterbacking the entire game added so much time and took a lot of table talk away from the other players. Apart from that, thanks for an amazing year of content and can’t wait for the next 🎉
This is the best early birthday present a person could ask for. What a rollercoaster! The reveal of who the thing was, and that intense ending, had me on the edge of my seat. Board Game Club is always the best time of the week but this feels like a special one, definitely one I'll be revisiting a lot in the future for all the drama and to see little details I might have missed
Unfortunately that is unlikely to happen as her and Sully are touring their show for part of 2023. So will probably be missing both at times I would imagine.
I found this channel this year and I've been watching old episodes, longing for new episodes and laughing with every one! I've found new board games thanks to you guys and I can't wait for more amazing videos next year! Keep on the good work and we'll see you next year!
I've watched this twice ... thank goodness for this playthrough from NRB... Rule book Very confusing and this has really (really) helped to clarify rules and gameplay. Many Thanks for sharing
This is my favourite episode of board game club so far! It would be awesome to see an episode with the thing coming out and causing massive carnage! Keep up the great work guys
Absolutely loved the video. Well done, well played. You all are a joy to watch. I just bought the game, and now have a much better understanding of the gameplay and flow. Never watched any other RUclips video of such length before, and I'm glad I did. Thank you!
@@sierrahtims8595 Last week's BGC Adam was the only one wearing a Christmas jumper and there was a conversation about how Adam had brought the spider man one for Carley. Thus knowing it's Adam's if you didn't remember or watch that one. And I don't want to assume and I could be wrong, but a lot of little things and jokes lean towards them being together.
Fun game :) Iirc, Sully was partially right on the first turn. He can be given the use card, use his ability, use helper to get one more damage token, then the helper can go to sleep instead of him. I remember it felt strange, but iirc that's how rules say. I don't remember who decides on that (who goes to sleep) though.
This last year i started getting into boars games and because of that i found this amazing channel! An amazing year of gaming and lets hope there are more to come. Hope one day i will ne able to play with you guys!
I love how the best social deduction player is the one in the spotlight. However, I have worked out her tell and if you know it, you knew she wasn't lying at the end. If you want to know Carley's tell, it's when she's not telling the truth, she talks out the side of her mouth more.
My one humble suggestion NRB is that you should make it a "The Thing" trifecta and play "Who Goes There?". A Thing based board game that involves crafting, custom character skills and cool "infection clickers". Check it out!
@@mawillix2018Each character has unique skills they can unlock through learning points. Clark can unlock a dog companion, MaCready can unlock extra alcohol which means that he is better at surviving outside etc
Holy 💩...all that was the best playthrough of this game EVER....and I'v seen all the playthroughs on social media.....Carly gets an award for being pulled like taffy at the end and not having a complete breakdown....🤣🤣🤣....you guys and gals nocked the 💩 out of that communication room just like in the movie....man this game delivers on every level the movie portraits.....A+ Pendragon.....great game gang I know you all won't forget it and I dare say I now have to become a Patron
Wow, that was an episode. Yay everyone! Yay Blair's "Eat Shit Blair!" Yay Carly's ridiculous plans and the final save! Yay random bleeping of John but also god no please no more "Daddy/Mommy" bits! You all are awesome, was tons of fun, hope Carly and Rosie can be around for more BGC in the future too! ^_^
Guys, now that was such a ride! I´m glad you played the game, since I bought it last week and had some issues understanding some of the rules. Now that my game party is going to have a go on it tomorrow, and having watched your play through (which turned out to be a real treat), I´m even more excited about it. Cheers!
The thing is my all time favorite film I have seen it hundreds of times I wrote essays on it in collage and it breaks my heart that I will never have enough people in my life that would play and enjoy this game with me. It looks like such a fun game, not sure which thing game I think looks like more fun to play

Tbf both Laurie and Rosie said it in a sexy way. Only Adam stuck to the concept

I must admit, a hidden role game where one win condition is to help everyone escape alive is very devious.
Especially since it's the win condition of the traitor/monster. Usually they have to kill or convert everyone.
That is probably the smartest win condition. Just lay low,, don't do much trouble until you can get away from the isolated place, then start snacking. And that applies not only to games but also to horror movies. How many monsters would've won if they just kept a low profile.
Remember that instead of playing a card from your hand, you can discard your hand and play one from the deck. It's risky, but better than a guaranteed sabotage, and Norris (Jon's character) can draw two from the deck and pick one.
Good mention; I think they all forgot about that.
Such a clutch call from Adam at the end there to test Blair before Jon. Very well reasoned.
Hilarious in retrospect now that Blair and Sully said they wanted to be the thing least at the beginning
Literally my new favourite channel on RUclips
probably my favourite one currently too

Cant add a timestamp, as it happened multiple times. But yes, very much true.
I was mopping my brow, and perturbation was occurring.😬
Carly's wink before the close your eyes had me suspecting her the entire time!
I was suspecting her due to her “accidentally” messing up the suspicion vote twice, but I wasn’t entirely sure
Same here. Spoiler-kind-of-alert, lol.
Suspected her right at the beginning and stayed on her as soon as she forced the encounter with Sully bc that totally felt like a Thing move to do right of the bat.
I love when you do the "close your eyes" thing in videos for games like this. I get to play as an unknowing bystander along with you :D
Adam's rundown of the weapon cards off the top of his head was really impressive
What an amazing Christmas present! Can't wait for the Rosie and Jon chaos. Thank you for a fantastic year and for getting my friends and me addicted to board games!

Holy cow what a video! A feature-length episode that was so tense all throughout. Those last few minutes were the things dreams are made of. An amazing end to an amazing year of Board Game Club. So glad I'm on board.
NRB is the only reason I keep track of the days!
I didn't know the game was so colorful. Very festive look. Fitting for a year finale.
I need more Thing in my life!!! Like this game can be played so many different ways that I need multiple run-throughs of this on the channel! Especially just to see the fun thing mechanic!
Love it! The Thing has long been one of my favorite movies and this quickly became one of my favorite board games.
This must be the new longest video we’ve gotten? What a Christmas treat!
I think the Nemesis videos are longer cause it really two videos of a couple of hours each
@@andrewpark7242 That's true I suppose. Still, it's very nice to have
Anybody else notice Laurie start to smirk when Carley said "Doggie action?"
LOVE this episode - one of the best playthroughs yet.. however Carly’s constant talking over everyone and quarterbacking the entire game added so much time and took a lot of table talk away from the other players. Apart from that, thanks for an amazing year of content and can’t wait for the next 🎉
I love to see the meatier games pop up on the channel- congrats to the winners! You earned it, and happy new year!
Rosie and a flame thrower. *Grabs popcorn 🍿 *
I was just thinking, where was my new NRB fix! And here you are!!! Cant wait to see what happens in this one, love you guys so much
This is the best early birthday present a person could ask for. What a rollercoaster! The reveal of who the thing was, and that intense ending, had me on the edge of my seat. Board Game Club is always the best time of the week but this feels like a special one, definitely one I'll be revisiting a lot in the future for all the drama and to see little details I might have missed
Carley and Adam's marvel-themed christmas sweaters look so fckng comfy. I'm jelly.
"Sully is the ONLY person at this table who knows about this"
Sully: 🙂
Love how the one person who hates getting evil roles keeps getting them. Not spoiling exactly who, but it’s so funny
I mean in that group there are only two who realy hate being evil so I suppose that spoiler is a bit telling
SPOILER

.It’s funny because they both raised their hands at the beginning saying who LEAST wanted to be the Thing 😂
@@courtney-ray And then what was the first play by the Thing? Yuuup...
What an episode to end the year on. That end was nerve wracking.
Petition to have Rosie on every episode of BGC and BotC
Rosie is fucking awesome.
Seconded!
Unfortunately that is unlikely to happen as her and Sully are touring their show for part of 2023. So will probably be missing both at times I would imagine.
Rosie said she didn't like the pressure in BotC so she won't be playing
16:55 Wow, I skipped the setup and who is The Thing, but a person's first action made it obvious.
Thanks for the amazing year of content and for the super sized finale for 2022!
Here's hoping 2023 is even better... and maybe slightly sexier.
I found this channel this year and I've been watching old episodes, longing for new episodes and laughing with every one! I've found new board games thanks to you guys and I can't wait for more amazing videos next year! Keep on the good work and we'll see you next year!
I've watched this twice ... thank goodness for this playthrough from NRB... Rule book Very confusing and this has really (really) helped to clarify rules and gameplay. Many Thanks for sharing
This is my favourite episode of board game club so far!
It would be awesome to see an episode with the thing coming out and causing massive carnage!
Keep up the great work guys
Absolutely loved the video. Well done, well played. You all are a joy to watch. I just bought the game, and now have a much better understanding of the gameplay and flow. Never watched any other RUclips video of such length before, and I'm glad I did. Thank you!
It’s very cute that Carly is wearing Adam’s Sweater
Are they together? Or just lending it
@@sierrahtims8595 It was Christmas, probably just a gift from the crew, Adam said last episode that "they" bough her a sweater.
@@sierrahtims8595 that's what i was wondering, don't know much about the guys
@@cottagebirder from her posts, I think they could be
@@sierrahtims8595 Last week's BGC Adam was the only one wearing a Christmas jumper and there was a conversation about how Adam had brought the spider man one for Carley. Thus knowing it's Adam's if you didn't remember or watch that one.
And I don't want to assume and I could be wrong, but a lot of little things and jokes lean towards them being together.
Y’all make Tuesday my favorite day of the week
Fun game :) Iirc, Sully was partially right on the first turn. He can be given the use card, use his ability, use helper to get one more damage token, then the helper can go to sleep instead of him. I remember it felt strange, but iirc that's how rules say. I don't remember who decides on that (who goes to sleep) though.
This last year i started getting into boars games and because of that i found this amazing channel! An amazing year of gaming and lets hope there are more to come. Hope one day i will ne able to play with you guys!
Love this so much I watched it twice and really want the game. Now a regular viewer for this awesome channel. Keep it up ☺️
I love how the best social deduction player is the one in the spotlight. However, I have worked out her tell and if you know it, you knew she wasn't lying at the end.
If you want to know Carley's tell, it's when she's not telling the truth, she talks out the side of her mouth more.
Sitting at work bored out of my mind and then boom this popped up. The true Christmas miracle.
My one humble suggestion NRB is that you should make it a "The Thing" trifecta and play "Who Goes There?". A Thing based board game that involves crafting, custom character skills and cool "infection clickers". Check it out!
Custom character skills?
My favourite of the 3 games :)
@@mawillix2018Each character has unique skills they can unlock through learning points. Clark can unlock a dog companion, MaCready can unlock extra alcohol which means that he is better at surviving outside etc
Holy 💩...all that was the best playthrough of this game EVER....and I'v seen all the playthroughs on social media.....Carly gets an award for being pulled like taffy at the end and not having a complete breakdown....🤣🤣🤣....you guys and gals nocked the 💩 out of that communication room just like in the movie....man this game delivers on every level the movie portraits.....A+ Pendragon.....great game gang I know you all won't forget it and I dare say I now have to become a Patron
I'm imaging the people in the cafe downstairs wondering what was happening with "Cozy Rosie".
Wow, that was an episode. Yay everyone! Yay Blair's "Eat Shit Blair!" Yay Carly's ridiculous plans and the final save! Yay random bleeping of John but also god no please no more "Daddy/Mommy" bits! You all are awesome, was tons of fun, hope Carly and Rosie can be around for more BGC in the future too! ^_^
This is the best board game video ever, we need a round 2!
Guys, now that was such a ride! I´m glad you played the game, since I bought it last week and had some issues understanding some of the rules. Now that my game party is going to have a go on it tomorrow, and having watched your play through (which turned out to be a real treat), I´m even more excited about it. Cheers!
Absolutely incredible! Had me hooked all the way through. Here's to another incredible year ahead!
Probably my favourite boardgame club episode to date? It had everything in it, and I mean everything😂
Omg the matching marvel sweaters on Adam and Carley. Love it
i could watch a million more hours of this and never get bored
Saw the Twitter post about this and have been hyped since! Excited to watch this in the car on the way to see extended family
This was an absolute gem of a game. Would love to see you play it again!
This was a powerful episode. The ending was amazing.
Hell yeah! Now I’ve got something to watch during work. Cheers!
this channel is perfect to have in the background cause it's just banter
The last Thing board game was amazing, can't wait to see how this one goes
The thing is my all time favorite film I have seen it hundreds of times I wrote essays on it in collage and it breaks my heart that I will never have enough people in my life that would play and enjoy this game with me. It looks like such a fun game, not sure which thing game I think looks like more fun to play
One of the best episodes ever. Beautiful!
This was bloody awesome!! Thank you guys for everything you've done! Kept me chilled and at ease through a difficult year
Yippee! Just got home from the sushi buffet, now to veg out while watching some incredible folks play a cool game!
