You have gotten me interested in Board games. Been going through all your videos for this channel. Thank you for sharing your nerdy passions with the world, be it wrestling or Board games. Thank you Adam Blampied. You're without a doubt, my favorite TH-camr ever.
@@xxMattDankyxx Thank you very much. Been playing DnD for almost a decade now, But the world of Board games is so wide and expansive, and just so much fun that Im happy to be here :)
@@lobokujo7825 it's deffently expansive! Some time to expansive! But go to a game cafe if you have one local to you and join BGG. Just be careful on BGG with the ratings because even though games are highly rated some of them a very challenging.
I love a good simple abstract game, and I am definitely going to try this one! This might be another one to teach my duders that are into chess like games but get easily frustrated by them!
All the ways you described Shobu make me think of Go (except maybe the short turnaround time, tbh); Adam, if you ever have the chance to dig in, I think you might love it
I made a proto type / demo version with checkers pieces and printed grids to see if my dad liked it, he LOVED IT!!! So bought a copy for his birthday , great find, cheers guys haha
Oooooh, I think my brother would love this one! I bought him and his girlfriend Hive for Christmas and they texted me later on just saying "you nailed it", so I bet they'd have a great time with another less thematic but differently challenging game about moving things around!
I'd really love to see Betrayal (any and/or all), Quacks of Quedlingburg or Survive! All cracking games imo Or, maybe some small, cheap card games like 6 Nimmt or The Crew.
This game was highlighted at my local game shop in 2019 -- I think the publisher is local to CT -- and I bought it immediately. It's brilliant and accessible, and new players really enjoy it. It's like the board game version of Tak that way. So cool to see it highlighted here!
I cant wait for you guys to get Fultilty: The Game of Life. Its a new board game from the channel Good People Association and I told them to send one to you.
I love it because it looks like I could build my own for about 10 bucks, including some fancy oil to make the rope smell good. Question: what happens if you knock a piece that isn't on an edge? Is any collision a 'take'? Or do you just nudge them one square over?
No, only stones knocked directly off the board edge are removed. You can still push opponent's stones on the board without taking them off if you need to. You can in theory push a stone two spaces without knocking it off, but in practice it's much more likely you'll push one off the edge.
Thank you for this video. This game caughty attention in the thumbnail but you brought it to the next level. As I was watching I was like "I know this voice. I've heard it before but about wrestling." I'm glad to know I was right :D

WEEEEEEEEEE

If I ever travel back in time, I'm bringing Shobu with me and I'll make the current world 0.00001% happier thanks to it.
“I am white, I control the white stones on each board. You’re black, you control the black stones on each board.” - Adam
I'm beginning to suspect that Adam doesn't like children.
Really? What gave you that idea?
For breakfast
You don't say....
The fact that the stones aren't uniform gives it so much more character

Hoping Adam’s t-shirt is a BTE-esque Easter egg for a certain RPG coming back to our screens…
A board game masterpiece in the studio? This should be fun!
Also, Adam's wearing a CBW T-Shirt! CBW return to PFK Confirmed!!!
would love to see a "Lets Play: ShoBu" with Laurie. I need gameplay!!!
So about that....
Every minute Adam explains this, the more my heart beats in excitement. INSTANT BUY (now to try and convince someone to play it).
Instant buy for me too!
The hardest part is finding someone to play with when it comes to more think intensive games
This is the first time I've ever seen my name pop up in the credits of a TH-cam video. Very excited to "Be On Board!"
I love a good simple abstract game, and I am definitely going to try this one! This might be another one to teach my duders that are into chess like games but get easily frustrated by them!
Love your style.
I see that CBW tee Adam. Is this a sign of things to come?? CBW return confirmed.

Is anyone else bothered that the closing haiku is off by one syllable lol? Despite that, awesome video!
Adam: Everyone, look at the child!
Grogu: 👁👄👁
Great review! You have captured the spirit, challenge and beauty of the game perfectly.
I would be interested to hear your opinion on Go. Recently started playing and immediately wanted to dive into learning its complexities.
This seems fun, but would never buy it. I mean it’s made of stones and wood. I have stones. I have wood. For free.
Are you gonna play Nemesis in the future?
adam i hate to say this, but aren't haiku 5-7-5 syllables?
Heroquest. A classic that everyone needs to know about...for a recommendation.
How about a video on Tzolk'in or Power Grid?
Loved this review!! Hadn't heard of Shobu till this video, but absolutely excited to try it now. Thanks for the delightful energy and the haikus too!
Nemesis | Board Game Masterpieces
I'd really love to see Betrayal (any and/or all), Quacks of Quedlingburg or Survive! All cracking games imo
Or, maybe some small, cheap card games like 6 Nimmt or The Crew.
Quacks is excellent! I love having it.
Adam is one of the few people that I shall allow to make fun of me with minimal counters.
would love to see a masterpieces video about a libellud game - Dixit, Mysterium, Obscurio.
Mysterium absolutely deserves it. Haven't played the other ones, but I quess that those are great too.
So glad to see you covering this game! It’s hovering really close to my top 10 favorite games!
Why must you tease us with that CBW t-shirt?

Are you at CTCon this weekend?
@@kev_whatev I wish! They're hosting CT FIG, which is always a blast, but I haven't made it in a few years.
Sitting in a board game themed cafe called Draughts.....then proceeds to call the game draughts, checkers. lol
Wait...do Brits not call Checker, Checkers? I'm not sure I can take this after learning the word Cluedo.
You should do an episode on chess
I cant wait for you guys to get Fultilty: The Game of Life. Its a new board game from the channel Good People Association and I told them to send one to you.
I'd really love an episode on Carcassonne.
As for a board game masterpiece to recommend, I would say Tsuro.
I just received this game for Christmas. I’m excited to play it, but the rope is far less aromatic than I was lead to expect.
Mmmm, the hemp rope smells so good and somehow familiar....Also explains the "oh, I throw a stone by accident" comment.
I wasn't into board games but thanks to this channel and Adam i am now thanks
NRB is well on its way to being the best board game channel on TH-cam.
More content from Adam is exactly what my life needs, and it needs it NOW!!!
Very good explanation about the beauty of the game. Thank you.
Love it. Bought it! Thank you Adam for these videos!
These videos are fantastic for building my board game collection. Thanks guys!
Chess.
No Adam stop it. I already want to buy too many games. My wallet cant take much more
Any communities of people that actually play this game out there??
One Punch Man and Miazaki references in the same video I am spoiled.
Any chance of a game of this on Patreon? - would bee keen to see you guys play.
i thought Cao Cao played this game in Three Kingdoms
Plz make "Push the Child" a shirt with a picture of a stone on it
It’s slightly easier to grok if you lay the boards out correctly.
You are so funny, I now listen even when not caring about the game ^^
I love it because it looks like I could build my own for about 10 bucks, including some fancy oil to make the rope smell good.

It is literally impossible to watch this channel in public 😂
Great job again! I love these Masterpiece videos!!
I’d love for you to cover Unmatched!
Adam is so damn charismatic
Adam could sell u ur own house for twice its worth
Did I just see まっくろくろすけ?
This game reminds me a little of Onitama
Loving the t-shirt. C B DUB! C B DUB!
I feel Smallworld is a masterpiece!
Can you guys pleeaaaase play Go????
War of the ring is a straight up masterpiece
Great review - and a wonderfully entertaining video! Thanks so much. Subscribed!
Adam is the High Hefner of board games. No I don't know what that means, but that robe certainly does
CBW return confirmed!
Thank you for this video. This game caughty attention in the thumbnail but you brought it to the next level.
As I was watching I was like "I know this voice. I've heard it before but about wrestling." I'm glad to know I was right :D
9:27 But now they've lost a stone because you move 1 to the right on a passive move (white board) knocking a stone off of the black board.
"would it be racist not to....?" Made me laugh out loud. Great video guys.
push the child!!!!!
You are very good at that thing you do Adam and Co.
Id take a game of Shobu now, and join a cult if youre starting one.
You should change the “Game On!” things to say “Get On Board!”
picking up stones from a beach and taking them home is absolutely un-tory
Take a shot every time Adam says the word board :)). A cracking video sir!!
I see you wearing that CBW shirt....bring it back!
About to enjoy another NRB Vidya
Adam : " Are you sure you want to go there " 😐🤔
I loved everything about this video. The humour is so amazing and British!
"massive Tory"
Reminds me of go. Best player was this blind girl. Then an ant person
A white stone going super saiyan is one of the best thing i saw on youtube. Give your editor a promotion adam!
"Push the child" really caught me off guard. Needed that laugh
This is very pretty, but I’m definitely going to just play this with a checkers set
But the rope.?.?.?.
@@joshfrench5858 Someone got it for me for Christmas! My rope is scentless 😢
@@kev_whatev lmao 🤣 hope they kept the receipt.
Is the intro Adams audition tape for John Locke in a Lost reboot?
the rules 4:55
Well, add this to list of things I must have but dont actually need.
Reminds me of Tak from The Name of the Wind. Simple to play hard to outthink you opponent.
There's a board game version of Tak that the author collaborated on!
Adam the spirited away reference with sut creatures is perfect and we all praise your editing
I like this editor. I'll take all the anime cutaway gags.
Great game, got this for christmas in 2019
I'm sold. Ordering now. Great review. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Also, please destroy that kimono thing. 😁😁😁
Pretty sure it’s a dressing gown not a kimono.
I F'N love the game ShōBu Y'all!
Love this episode! Shout out to the rope sniffing edit at 4:37
amazing job
So it starts great, but then it turns into Vogon Chess.
Video idea: How to get board game friends.
8:50 Just move the Light b2 stone to b4, then KO on the dark board, still with a threat to win next move?
Nicely spotted. I can not analyze this situation without understanding the EXACT position of the black stone on the upper right board though :)
