I like the opening lie was
Welcome to board game club, where the first rule of board game club is *SUS*
Also, could you do a tradgedy looper mini-series (Like LotB and the Call of Ctulu 3-parter) or series (like BotCT)
1:05:50 the pink rooms are still connected until next event, correct? So it should be 3 in that room and no mingling?
This is Dom's world, and we all have the luxury of living in it.
I always thought so 😅
All according to Dom’s plan
Dom? is that you?
It's his King DOM
@@DeltaEntropy Dom's Diabolical Plan
Even if Sullivan had his eyes open the whole time, his Cheese Blindness would have meant he still didn't know who the Cultist was.
That episode was so funny
Where's that from? The cheese blindness thing
Cheese thief
If Dom has million fans, then I'm one of them.
If Dom has one fan, then I'm THAT ONE.
If Dom has no fans, that means I'm dead.
Just be sure you are dead during being his fan, not before you started as his fan.
If Dom has Onlyfans, I'm ON BOARD!
if the world is against Dom, i'm against the world
If don doesn’t become king then I don’t want to be part of this world
If you're dead, Dom still has one fan: Dom.
"Don't Laurie about it!" has me absolutely rolling!! I'm aching from laughing so hard 😂
That was really great. Moments like that separate the channel from other game demos.
@robertbouley7697 absolutely agree! I love these guys and their game play! The bits and jokes are what keeps me coming back, even for games I wasn't expecting to be interested in. What a great lot of folks 💖
I imagine it the first game when the cultist comes to meet Dom in the cafeteria it's like this.
"Hey bro how's it going having fun with the killin'?"
"Dude, I told you to not come here! Listen, I'm going to pretend to kill you, and you need to just jump out a window. Alright?"
"Anything for you bro."
"Wonderful."
And then Dom actually throws his fellow cultists out the nearest window.
I love imagining him saying that. Such a fantastic visual thank you for this gift 💕
As soon as I saw who was the cultist and seer in the second game, I knew we were in for a treat. I was not disappointed.
Shouldn't they have held a vote at 1:28:13 ?
I wish I had such a way of explaining a board game as Adam and a silent group as the NRB crew while Adam’s explaining the game rules
I imagine there's a reason we don't get to see the bit when Adam explains the rules to his friends, only to us, because we can't interrupt him.
I don't get rules most of the time and it terrifies me to play board games because of this, so this channel is so so so good for that. Adam (or someone else, depending on the episode) not only introduces me to fun new games, but also makes me feel more informed and confident, if I ever were to play any of them.
@@MarbleMuseHasAppeared Highly recommend the channel "watch it played" if you want videos that are _just_ the rules walkthrough and actually 100% "complete" (since here it's more like a summary at the start and then you see the rest as it comes up through the playthrough)
But even having heard all the rules it can really help to see it in action to actually process it all, of course!
Shut up and Sit Down has a great video on how to be better at explaining the rules for your group.
As the resident rules explainer for my group of friends i absolutely loathe when it’s a semi-complicated game because no one ever listens to the first go round of the rules
I love how innocent Adam seemed when he learned that killing someone isn't like in the movies. He never even considered it might take a long while, being horrified that everyone had realized this before him.
Laurie with a knife brings such childlike glee to his eyes. Beautiful to watch!
Don't Laurie, Be Happy might be the best tagline since Eat Shit Blaire :D
Time stamp?
Dom is a legend it was clearly all his plan
Social deduction games are the best! I swear you guys have the best group for them, I could this for hours on ends.
this one is the best one !!
I swear 🙂 🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙
(Me, musing to myself as they’re covering the ground rules): “Geez, could you imagine the chaos if Dom is the Cultist & Rosie ends up being the Seer?”
(Me, five minutes later when the game is under way and the roles are revealed): “……”
This game must be very familiar for Rosie and her childhood
I also love how Rosie just shuts down after knowing she traded cards with a cultist (Dom) as the seer
29:23 for those that wanna find it
It appears that just like Among Us the cultist has a really easy time murdering everyone so you're either executing him or losing and doing tasks is useless.
The cultist has an easy time murdering everyone because nobody is being as careful as they should be about mingling with other players. If everyone made a point of not entering spaces where other people are alone and was more aggressive about sussing people who did, the cultist would have a much harder time of it. Though it's also awkward that if the cultist is luckily one of the last two players on Round 1, he gets an autokill.
I've won several games where crew finished their tasks
Nothing gives me as much joy in life as Teri wiggling her hand in front of the camera.
Just starting the episode, I figured out the cultist from a social read before they even did the whole "everyone close your eyes" shtick. (When Adam described how to determine if you are a seer, it was a little fuzzy so everyone double-checked their token -- except for Dom...)
This game seems heavily in favor of cultist win or vote win, how in earth do you avoid mingling so long that you actually get to 12 points?
Agreed. I think the game has a bit too much going on and maybe could’ve benefitted with stripping out some of the mechanics to focus in on the importance of social deduction.
in that sense, its more akin to Among Us. Since out of all the games I won as a Crewmate, 9 out of 10 times was with the imposters getting voted out (5 short, 2 long, 2 common tasks, the average lobby).
In order to earn a task victory, something has to go wrong on the side of the imps. Since there is always that one player who takes 5 minutes to do a singular task.
Bugs me that the cultist can get a free kill without having to do anything if they're last or second to last in the turn order in the first round.
I wonder if houseruling that mingling uses Thing-esque rules of "Give out two death cards, if you're a cultist then one is good and one is death, if good both are good, mingler takes one of them" meaning that any attempted kill is only 50/50 would help alleviate that?
Having the books being pointless makes sense with the Among Us inspiration. My issue is having the game start with the cultist job 1/4 or 1/2 done for them already. No one should start dead, which would probably eliminate the need for a seer. The exchanging when you have left alone due to turn order also really stinks since it forces a mingle in the first round. It is notable that they added that to Among Us and made it worse for it.
I'm so excited to see cool Maanuv back.
Cool of Maanuv to help out Dom in the first game.
Cool Maanuv helping Dom in the second game too.
This was fun to watch.
Could we have the T-shirt “Don’t Laurie, be Sully!”?
i think a lot of people are missing the point of having the alternative win condition with the task. The point of it isn't rlly to get the win through that means, it is more so used as a way to stop the imposter from stalling the game. If there was no alternate win con, then the cultist could just kill once every 10 turns and make it basically impossible to figure out who the cultist is, or even never kill, making the game pure guess work on voting. the game can literally be endless without an alternate win con for the investigators
Sully's joke of the day went over my head...
Almost hatlike
It wouldn't have done if you were wearing a hat
That's because it's a hat.
@@nicholasengel9823 It hat something to do with that room
had*
Oh my god, they did it. They finally did it. They actually made among us in real life
They made real life in real life?
yeah - it works as good as it shall !!
The real life among us is the friends we get along the way
Dom is everything
WOOO LETS GO!!! ITS THE BEST TIME OF THE WEEK!!! ITS BOARD GAME CLUB!!!
A new episode just dropped. I can finally stop being productive and watch this. I LOVE this channel
Gotta say, I agree with Cool Guy Maanuv's playing style: was he on the good team both times? Yes. Did he accuse the shit out of people for no apparent reason? Also yes. Reasoning out loud in a game where a Seer type exists is a great save for them, since it gives off the vibes that you're just trying to educate other players into the correct line of thinking since you're frustrated they're not getting it right. Go Maanuv!!!
... also a mandatory "Dom is my favorite being and I would die for a chance to get killed by him" comment. He's simply a delight
I actually agree with Dom. He talked to Manuv in a way that he would think that Laurie being the Cultist was his idea, thereby getting everyone to think it was Manuv's idea instead of Dom's.
Humble main character Dom 😇
Dom is a treasure
43:28 That look to the camera, of course he killed Sullivan.
So excited!! Have been binge watching NRB's videos all week :D
Same i just started binging Blood On The Clock Tower lol
@@dwyane23 Yees i watched the newest one from a couple days ago too! the games still pretty confusing to me but its fun to watch!
@@xmarshmilox9955 if you watch all the way from the beginning it's a really good way to learn :)
@@Pauavi thank you for the tip! :D
I love social deduction games and also love that this genre suits this group so well. I don't think I will become a big fan of this game but it was great to watch it played! Sully's hat joke made me laugh more on the second time, then even more on the third re-tell xD
A great lineup of players on this one. it was really cool of Maanuv to let Dom use him as a Seer bluff; he’s so 😎
Knock knock…It’s mingle time. THAT needs to be a shirt
This game really feels like it has far too much going on. Not beyond saving with a solid set of house rules though. Most of the best games have the least going on so I'd strip a lot out to simplify and speed things along. As we saw in this, even they got confused with the rules at times and took 2 hours to do 5 rounds.
So my house rule version would be:
1. After you move, perform your action immediately.
2. No events
3. No sabotage or book cards
4. No route cards
5. All rooms start with their max amount of books.
6. Rooms must be investigated once before you can start searching
7. There is only 1 dead player at the start of the game
8. All coloured rooms are connected
9. The last 2 players remaining in the starting room of the first turn are not forced an encounter
10. No Seer
Below I explain my reasoning behind these but I did think of a fun twist while writing it to give the book and sabotage cards some use - but I don't know how many come with the game so may or may not be viable. Because the idea is, everyone gains a hand of shuffled cards containing mostly books and a single hand's worth of sabotage cards and, upon mingling, if you are not a cultist you must hand a sabotage card to your opponent if you have one, facedown (The cultist can choose to give a sabotage card or a book card). Then give the cultist an alternative win condition of "ultimate sabotage" having a full hand of sabotage cards. Given the cards aren't marked sabotage you could even rename the whole thing to good books and forbidden books and the win condition would be completing the big ritual (you know, give some thematic reason for them actually being a cultist instead of just a random murderer...)
1. The whole "move phase", "action phase" - make them one phase where you move and perform an action at the same time, because as far as I can tell, it's completely unnecessary to split them up and just slows things down. (even if you decide to kept the sabotage card mechanic)
2. Events, unless there's far more interesting ones in there, throw them out (we only saw 3 unique in 2 hours and a mention of a 4th)
3. Throw out the hallway cards and by extension all the sabotage cards. Because - The sabotage mechanic is clunky at best, throw it all out. (I have to assume there's some actually significant sabotage effects after the 3 cultist tokens are dealt with but a game's never going to go that long and the mini cultists are just arbitrary skip your turn crap, same with the power outage event and the game's already too slow)
4. Throw out the route cards, you already have three mechanics to encourage moving: the forced move, other players and once a room is cleared it's done. This bad mechanic caused pointless turns and suicidal play.
5. Since sabotage is out, players don't have to clutter their hands with those so we may as well get rid of books as well , set all rooms to their max books (if this makes the game too fast just slow it down by adding no effect sabotage cards to the piles)
6. But have the tick token gate the room initially so you spend a turn "examining the room" before finding books, that would mean the game would end in 5 rounds, 2 more than any of these games went to.
7. The starting dead - "necessary to avoid the cultist being instantly ousted", but why can it be 1 or 2 death cards, how does RNG making it easier for the cultist help anyone? Make it a guaranteed 1. (although it could be argued you should be handing out more life cards and not instantly trying to murder everyone, but majority don't want to play a long game)
8. Have that secret hallways event active constantly because the game really needs more movement options.
9. The last 2 in the starting room should not be forced an encounter, obviously.
10. The seer's a neat idea but giving the cultist a 1 in 5 chance of winning when they lose stinks, you could be obscenely aggressive, get caught immediately but still win on a guess.
Like Among Us, winning on either points or tasks seems like a near impossibility
yup! Its just a timer for the cultists
Thankyou guys, because of this channel we've discovered a new found love for board games. so far we've bought Ticket To Ride Splendor, let the collection begin!
the most violently british way to describe a cafeteria: the teacup room
Adam is very very good at explaining rules
Sometimes I get sad… and then I remember that I get to be alive at the same time as Dom… ❤
I feel the book part of this game is almost a non-entity, unless the cultist plays extremely slowly and for me to be _that_ slow doesn't make sense.
It's an interesting game, but because of that flaw in trying to acquire all the books taking too long I feel it needs some alterations to make it a bit more worthwhile the exploration.
Some good old facts about strangling:
When you strangle someone, they almost never die because their airway is closed but mostly because you close off the arteries providing blood to their brain. That’s why it takes not as much time as if someone would just hold their breath.
why does sully sound like the “how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop” owl at 1:03:45
it was great to see this gameplay. the same comments, the same laughter and the same surprises as in our testgames of "AMONG CULTISTS" !!!
I love this game !!! 🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙
1:07:28 “It’s a Hat” Comedic Sullivan Timing at its finest
OH MY GOD LAURIE ACTUALLY JOINED THE CULT
Please someone make me a gif of 58:46 to 58:47! Best pure evil laugh I've ever heard.
That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said. Thank you!
The Maanuv is cool meme is one of my favourites in recent days!
Adam: "no one's had an encounter with me." A wrestling RUclipsr who also runs a board game channel? How is that possible? I'll be back later in the video for more sarcastically personal attacks because that's how I show love.
At 50:58, the oracle should have pointed at the killer. The oracle knew who would be opening their eyes, that he was innocent, and he could deduce the who the oracle was and that they were pointing out the killer (since everyone else was supposedly abstaining).
the votes were revealed afterwards though. if the oracle voted for the cultist it either wouldn't have been very remarkable (and therefore not helpful) or would have made it quite obvious to the cultist who the oracle is (even less helpful). or it could have cast suspicion on the oracle as being the cultist.
One lone cow in the field next to my house, at 3am: "It's time to MOO"
So glad Dom was the cultist.
"It's a hat."

OMG 2 awesome games! Thank you so much for all those magic moments with laughing & backstabbing. cheers from Godot Games 🕵🏻♂️🐙🖤🖤🖤
This game is a great idea, but seems badly executed. The amount of randomness is insane, considering that cultist may get an early free kill AND start already with 2 Bruce Willis points.
I think the group really needed to check who was alive much more often
It lost fluidity , most of the game was Adam having to explain the rules and what people could do , so it was stop start and I lost track , not the best game for me to watch tbh
Also, how do you complete it by collecting all books? I don't think that's ever going to happen in a normal game, so that mechanic just looks a bit pointless too.
The poor execution was by the players, not the game.
Nothing's forcing players to go to a room they can do an action in *every* turn. It's much more important to pair with others, check each other often, and limit the number of *unique* people you encounter as much as possible.
Meanwhile in both games, team good was just blindly going around opening books, giving the cultist basically a free pass to just kill whoever they run into.
Imagine playing Among Us, but everyone is so focused on their tasks that they just ignore dead bodies. The outcome is clear!
Such a fun game! You guys are amazing, I love to watch you playing this kinds of games. Keep up with the good work!
Great Sully jokes and then chocking facts straight from Darth Vader's diary. So many emotions in this episode 😂
Dom, winner. Final Boss.
What a bloody great episode!! Well played team, well played!
Bruce Willis was dead the entire time in Armaggeddon?!
Gonna be honest the guy sitting by the window of draughts in the first frame will forever be in my head. I dont know who you are but i will never forget you
Ouch! Teri hit me in the nose!
I would genuinely wear a shirt or hat with Laurie's face that says don't Laurie about it
Don't Laurie about it! It's the new motto 😂
So this is among us meets the thing meets werewolf. Amazing
I lament any young person ever being able to watch _The Sixth Sense_ without having had it spoiled for them by people like Adam.
I am going to the hat room......now that's a hat. 😅
Man this week is awesome Monday got to work on pinewood derby cars watch a banger of Monday Night Raw tonight get to go to the movies to see Jon Wick Chapter 4 watch this video right here cant wait to see what else happens this week lol
Hm. This is first time I’m coming away from BGC disappointed. Unfortunately I don’t think this game is for me despite my love for social deduction and hidden role games. Mostly because it suffers the critical failure of Aeons End where the alternate win condition is significantly easier than the main objective. Both games the good team had 1 book before the game was over after only 2-3 rounds of actual gameplay. Unless the good team figures out who the cultist is quickly and executes them early it just feels unwinnable for them
Among Us almost never ends in task wins either.
Although even that is a little slower
@@Moleoflands I’ve never played Among Us but that doesn’t surprise me. I need more balance in games like this or else I won’t feel fulfilled. I can be doing everything right and it just doesn’t matter because my team never stood a chance from the beginning? I don’t like that
The good team played absolutely awful in both games. They had no idea what they were doing and basically were walking around blind.
It's not supposed to be easy for the cultist to kill people. The good team should be constantly checking each other and avoiding encounters like the plague. Focusing so heavily on the books actually makes the game end extremely quickly, typically in favor of the cultist.
Instead, they all just ignored whether anyone was dead and mingled like it was a party. Is it any surprise the cultist ended the game quickly?
Maanuv!!!!! This is officially my favorite group of players! The nostalgia from
the pandemic days 😅
>Dom is revealed to be the cultist
I mean, yeah, it couldn't be anyone but him.
Red is sus... Dom is wearing red...
Dom and Sully are soulmates. No one can convince me otherwise.
WE WANT LAURIE SHIRTS NOW!
Cool man Maanuv is back!
Yay! Rosie and Dom episode!
Sullivan O'Brown and Dominik Allen is my favourite characters of this show. love it. Needs more Jon too!
This is secretly a game about social distancing
I'm glad Rosie is back! She's so chaotic.
1:38:10 Adam actually has a really intresting decision her maybe assuming he can vote for him self as he can tie the vote 2:2 although i guess any vote that isn't 3 for lorry has the same effect.
When he said "it's mingling time" and then mingled all over the place
I’m currently not 2 minutes into the video and I thought Adam said “like Bruce Forsythe, start the game dead” 💀🙃🤣
To add to the strangling discussion
Depending on various things, it can take up to a few minutes for them to pass out from loss of air.
However long you can hold your breath, add about half again before you actually pass out. And if its let go at that point, you'll regain conciousness in seconds
After that. It takes about 3 minutes before Brain damage starts to occur.
With every second after that causing further damage.
It can take up to 10 minutes without air to fully kill someone
And there's documented cases of someone 'drowned' in freezing water, being recovered after 20 minutes, and being actually fine. No brain damage, guy suffered no long term effects from it.
All those things where someone's strangled for a second and is stored in a box for the rest of the day.
Either they crushed their windpipe, so they suffocated after they left.
Or they woke up a second after the guy left
Staying unconscious for more than a minute is VERY worrying
The " I have" was so badass.
Love to see you guys do a three or four player game of Dice Throne.
Yeah fav time of the week
If no one makes an among us joke I will be surprised.
Edit: Adam does it immediately.
Didn't quite click with rules so I was somewhat confused but still entertaining as always.
The way they talk about checking is like STD testing
A year ago! A year ago! On the NIGHT of the Night episode on the shelf behind Rosie, was a game call LAST FRIDAY. I have not seen an episode where yall played it yet.
this week were playing AMONG US (my brain filled in the rest prematurely)
The "That's A Play On Words" animatic took me out xD
