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 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
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!
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!
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
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!
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
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.
I loved your Shobu video and want the game, but bothlinks yield nothing available. Is there another manufacturer I can get one from besides Smirk & Dagger?
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.
as someone who hasnt read or written a haiku since my 7th year of school and had to google it to make sure YOUR haiku was correct, good job Adam. You're a regular Yosa Buson.
The worst part about being addicted to your content is that I have no one to play board games with. So I will live vicariously through A. Blampied's videos.
ADAM: You can pick up a copy of SHŌBU using our Amazon Affiliate links here: US: amzn.to/3C18CwE // UK: amzn.to/3A69PCo
WEEEEEEEEEE
~ Boris Johnson
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.
The fact that the stones aren't uniform gives it so much more character

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 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
A board game masterpiece in the studio? This should be fun!
Also, Adam's wearing a CBW T-Shirt! CBW return to PFK Confirmed!!!

Great review! You have captured the spirit, challenge and beauty of the game perfectly.
would love to see a "Lets Play: ShoBu" with Laurie. I need gameplay!!!
So about that....
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!!!
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!
So glad to see you covering this game! It’s hovering really close to my top 10 favorite games!
“I am white, I control the white stones on each board. You’re black, you control the black stones on each board.” - Adam

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.
Love it. Bought it! Thank you Adam for these videos!
Very good explanation about the beauty of the game. Thank you.
These videos are fantastic for building my board game collection. Thanks guys!
I wasn't into board games but thanks to this channel and Adam i am now thanks
Great job again! I love these Masterpiece videos!!
I would be interested to hear your opinion on Go. Recently started playing and immediately wanted to dive into learning its complexities.
I loved everything about this video. The humour is so amazing and British!
Adam the spirited away reference with sut creatures is perfect and we all praise your editing
Hoping Adam’s t-shirt is a BTE-esque Easter egg for a certain RPG coming back to our screens…
Heroquest. A classic that everyone needs to know about...for a recommendation.
A white stone going super saiyan is one of the best thing i saw on youtube. Give your editor a promotion adam!
Is anyone else bothered that the closing haiku is off by one syllable lol? Despite that, awesome video!
I see that CBW tee Adam. Is this a sign of things to come?? CBW return confirmed.
"Push the child" really caught me off guard. Needed that laugh
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
Take a shot every time Adam says the word board :)). A cracking video sir!!
Adam: Everyone, look at the child!
Grogu: 👁👄👁
I'm beginning to suspect that Adam doesn't like children.
Really? What gave you that idea?
For breakfast
You don't say....
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.
Love your style.
You are so funny, I now listen even when not caring about the game ^^
I'd really love an episode on Carcassonne.
Great review - and a wonderfully entertaining video! Thanks so much. Subscribed!
Are you gonna play Nemesis in the future?
Great game, got this for christmas in 2019
I’d love for you to cover Unmatched!
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.
Mmmm, the hemp rope smells so good and somehow familiar....Also explains the "oh, I throw a stone by accident" comment.
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.

Adam is one of the few people that I shall allow to make fun of me with minimal counters.
Any chance of a game of this on Patreon? - would bee keen to see you guys play.
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.
Damn I love this channel
How about a video on Tzolk'in or Power Grid?
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.
I see you wearing that CBW shirt....bring it back!
amazing job
Loving the t-shirt. C B DUB! C B DUB!
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.
Adam is so damn charismatic
Adam is the High Hefner of board games. No I don't know what that means, but that robe certainly does
adam i hate to say this, but aren't haiku 5-7-5 syllables?
Love this episode! Shout out to the rope sniffing edit at 4:37
Is the intro Adams audition tape for John Locke in a Lost reboot?
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.
About to enjoy another NRB Vidya
Adam : " Are you sure you want to go there " 😐🤔
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.
I like this editor. I'll take all the anime cutaway gags.
Can you guys pleeaaaase play Go????
War of the ring is a straight up masterpiece
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.
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 :)
It is literally impossible to watch this channel in public 😂
"HAHA LOOK AT THE CHILD! PUSH EM! PUSH THE CHI-"
Why must you tease us with that CBW t-shirt?
I feel Smallworld is a masterpiece!
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!
picking up stones from a beach and taking them home is absolutely un-tory
"would it be racist not to....?" Made me laugh out loud. Great video guys.
as someone who hasnt read or written a haiku since my 7th year of school and had to google it to make sure YOUR haiku was correct, good job Adam. You're a regular Yosa Buson.
It’s slightly easier to grok if you lay the boards out correctly.
One Punch Man and Miazaki references in the same video I am spoiled.
Nemesis | Board Game Masterpieces
This game reminds me a little of Onitama
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.
You should change the “Game On!” things to say “Get On Board!”
You should do an episode on chess
The worst part about being addicted to your content is that I have no one to play board games with. So I will live vicariously through A. Blampied's videos.
As for a board game masterpiece to recommend, I would say Tsuro.
I F'N love the game ShōBu Y'all!
Well, add this to list of things I must have but dont actually need.
CBW return confirmed!
You should add these reviews to BGG
You should look into Tak.
It's in his 10 great abstract games list
Plz make "Push the Child" a shirt with a picture of a stone on it
the rules 4:55
Video idea: How to get board game friends.
i thought Cao Cao played this game in Three Kingdoms
Reminds me of go. Best player was this blind girl. Then an ant person
I really hope "look at the child" becomes a running joke
Smell the rope as well.
Did I just see まっくろくろすけ?
If we’re taking Masterpieces, I submit Ticket To Ride. The world’s most accessible Eurogame, and a gateway drug for millions of board game players
