Strip Campaign for North Africa: the game for all ages, since by the time anyone is required to take their clothes off they'll all be well into retirement.
The sad part is that if I was the sort of person who wanted to play Strip The Campaign For North Africa, I would probably actually like that rule. Did I say sad? I meant brilliant.
Those Diplomat board games were 100% made to be sold in sleazy sex shops to people too horny to apply some forethought. They'll see the cover, quickly browse over the box, briefly think to themselves "Hey, that sounds like a fun time!" without any further consideration, slap some bucks on the table, and by the time they've gotten home and cooled off they will realize it's stupid and predicates on situations that basically no one would subscribe to. By then, Diplomat would have made off with their money. Or at least, that's the idea. I get the feeling that, in the end, cooler heads prevailed and these games saw next to no success other than maybe as novelties or gag gifts. Which is probably why you can't find anything about them online. That, and nearly 60 years having passed since its release.
Just like 99% of things in those places. The only thing that is generally useful at all times you can’t find anywhere else cheaper is probably dental dams (unless CVS has them), and even then good luck finding those. You buy a movie, then realize the internet exists. You buy a sausage storage device, then realize it’s made of materials that aren’t made for reuse at all. You buy a big honking doll, and then realize it cost more than your rent and that there’s no way to get rid of it that doesn’t look like murder
@@lancesmith8298 there are some people that seek out certain porn films and don't really care about watching random people online get naked and i'm one of em.
I think adultry is the worst it's not difficult to come up with spicy things you just have to not actively shoot yourself in the foot by making the entire time awkward for most people.
Considering how long a Campaign for North Africa lasts, your version will force multiple people to endure the winter months without heavy clothes on. So, all that is left to say is... welcome to the "Games that can kill people" Club!
I can't understand why anyone would play a strip game by candlelight: you're using a light source that makes it impossible to see anything to play a game where the point is what you end up seeing.
When I was a kid, I saw an ad for Doggie Doo on TV and begged my mom for it. She said no and insisted that the doo would get stuck inside the dog. I asked my grandma for the game instead and she brought it over while babysitting me. First play-through, the doo got stuck. When my mom got home, she was _furious._ She had to use a chopstick to fish the doo out of the dog. She then confiscated the game.
Advertising as a theme works in games about fake products - Jackbox’s Patently Stupid comes to mind. Attaching real and currently running ad campaigns to a board game is just gauche.
"What shall I be" was released in 1966. By which time women had gone to space, become flying aces, taught at aviation academies, with every rational expectation that by the time the target age demographic grows up around the late 70s, things were going to change even more... But yes, "airline hostess"
Now, to be fair, the US was not really leading the charge on female career options in the 1960s. That being said, that was rapidly changing and the people who developed this game should definitely have seen that happening.
Teachers and Nurses are still the most common female occupations, numbers for airline hostesses are up in the air(hehe). Trying to find numbers for the others on google just gives me articles saying "trans people are breaking the mold" without saying what "the mold" is. I love Google. If the issue is that it doesn't reflect the lofty goals of kids nowadays, sorry it didn't have youtuber?
In the US, we wouldn't have a woman astronaut until *1983*, when Sally Ride was on STS-7. She still beat the first black American astronaut, Guion Bluford, who flew a couple months later on STS-8.
Still, it wouldn't surprise me if those were the actual top 6 most popular career choices for young girls at the time. The makers of the game obviously weren't trying to change society or anything.
I think power lunch could work with its premise if you just substitute celebrities for 'popular fictional characters' since those tend to age more gracefully. I dunno have disney make it, they own enough of everything to get a varied cast for it.
I think warner would be even better, since then you can sit the ultraviolent r@pe gang from a clockwork orange next to bugs bunny. You know, like they did in space jam 2!
Yeah, kind of like that obscure card game Slash: Romance Without Boundaries minus the whole shipping fanfic angle. Alternatively, if you don’t want the logistical headache of dealing with characters licensing issues, you could make a vast of distinctive original characters with character profiles on their cards. For example, a highschool themed game where you have to come up with scenarios for why all these wacky teens from vastly different cliché highschool cliques like jocks, preps, nerds and goths etc are sitting at the same table. I’d say there’s potential with either route though.
These last two videos have made think that a tournament bracket should be done but for worst theme and worst mechanics seperately. So it's fair since comparing a bad mechanic to a bad theme is a lot more subjective.
@@tarotsport1451 I dunno I don't get the intense hate for War. There are worse crimes than being boring, just don't play it. Oy Vey is a crime just sitting on the shelf
This topic reminds me of the Titanic board game I used to play as a kid, where you raced against your family and friends to make it into the lifeboats before them, leaving them on the sinking ship.
Hey man, I just gotta say your writing on these scripts is incredible. You could describe the contents of my backyard and I would probably be entertained as long as you had enough time to write a script.
The Diplomat games are crazy to me because they also just dont consider outfit differences at all. Some outfits will total like 3 pieces of clothing at most, and others will have like 8 or more, depending on how players count it
Oy Vey was aimed at a specific demographic, probably the children of the stereotyped Jewish mother. This kind of thing runs through so much Jewish humor, though not so much today as the family structure has changed. I can imagine my warped sense of humor would love the game. Also, overthrowing a HOA sounds fun.
There’s this really weird game me and my friends played last year called “redneck life”, which is basically the game of life if it hated (poor) southerners. The winner at the end is the person with the most teeth left and there’s spaces that give you… babies from hooking up with your cousin. If it’s not already on ur radar i’d love to see a video on it!
Before watching all the way through this video I thought you were just calling anyone who likes board games nerds. I think I would like to go back to this time in my life.
It was still considered a mental illness in 1969 USA....if you were LGBT in a 1969 TV or movie you were either a criminal or un-alived yourself "in shame" (w/very rare exceptions mostly in B or "foreign art" movies). But yeah what a lame sex party game, restrictive, uptight & limiting doesn't sound like a sex party to me.
@@Luigi-Board LOL, well that's embarrassing for me! 🤦🏻♀️ ....this is what happens to you when you don't play any proper "party games" for fat too long 😜
I still think the claim of Adultery being a crime game is silly, no one's getting arrested for adultery in 2024 in the US, and some of the states that have laws against it are repealing them (Minnesota and Idaho did in the last couple of years, and New York is in the process of it), and unless you're in a very fundamentalist country I doubt it'll result in much. But still, it looks like more of a novelty joke or a gag gift than an actual game, for the reasons stated in the video. I guess there might be some people who could be into the strict rules as some sort of kink, but even then there are much better ways to do that lmao
You are aware Charm School was a thing that existed right? You know the stereotype of there being all these extra etiquette rules for rich people like eating with the right silverware, the books on the head thing for posture, sitting properly and all that? Charm school is where they taught those things.
love the video but the 1 frame stuff is bothering me. its not at an exact second in the video so i cant pause the video and click the timestamp. i have to go to 0.5x, click 8:30, spam play and pause button and miss it by a few frames every time. i dont understand the point of including information in a video thats nearly impossible to read. cant you just put a link in the description or put it on-screen for more than just 1 frame. its frustrating having to continue the video knowing i missed a piece of information
you can use , and . to go back and forth one frame at a time while the video is paused. This makes it way easier to read these things. Just for anyone who didn't know that information since it's not readily available.
I remember someone from my high school that had a copy of PIMP: The Backhanding. We were dumb teenagers then, so we never gave the controversy much thought or consideration.
Unfortunately none of Diplomat's games seem very mechanically interesting. Maybe fun for the right group, but it you have that group, is the game actually adding anything?
I gotta say, going through your history of videos, it's been really interesting seeing your evolution from depicting yourself as a simple cartoon man, to only having your arms and hands on camera to illustrate a physical board game, to being fully on camera to do more involved bits and jokes alongside your explanations. it feels like you've become a lot more confident with yourself as you make more videos, and I think it just makes each one better than the last. You're doing a great job and I appreciate all the work you put into the channel!
The "do a no-no" card in bumps and grinds is probably a smart reference to ULTRAKILL where a +NO-NO style bonus is awarded for killing an enemy with a chainsaw
Okay that final joke really hit for me because me and my friends have been joking about Campaign for North Africa being the "Perfect Orgy Boardgame" for a few months now
Goddamn the end got me. Imagine a 15-year game of stripping. Do you have to stay stripped over those years or do you just have to roll up to your friend’s twice a month and throw off clothes at the door from the previous sessions like “hey guys I don’t remember where we were in this game we’re gonna have to backtrack”
You forgot “Juden rauẞ”, a board game that was OBVIOUSLY created and sold in Nazi Germany, but then the SS was like “ooohhh no no no noooo, you have to leave that shit to UUUSSS!!” And banned the game for “challenging their movement” because of the goal to capture the “Jews” and place them in the various “collection points” until six “Jews” are captured by the first person to do so.
The funniest part about pimp: the backhanding is the fact that it follows the same naming scheme for the world of darkness and chronicles of darkness rpg's
I think a rerelease of Power Lunch with "timeless" celebrities or notable people like Elvis, Albert Einstein, Shakespeare, etc. would be a really solid party game.
Surprised there was no mention of Brenda Romero’s “Train”. It’s a board game about getting as many passengers on a train as possible, it’s also about the holocaust.
The Pimp game reminds me of the Italian game Squillo. Its essentially the same thing but its longer. Too long and it also has 2 expansions one that adds gigolos.
"So you have an idea for a board game for me?" "No sir, I don't. My ideas are dogshit. I'm here to be a janitor, see i was fired by the movie producer guy from..." "...wait wait wait what did you just say?" "...i'm here for janitor job because i was fired..." "No, before that" "My ideas are dog shit" "WOW WOW WOW WOW! Let's go with that. You're hired"
The NBC game's premise reminds me of "Trivial Pursuit," a game I have never, ever played, despite the fact that I love trivia and would like to be on _Jeopardy!_ someday. Hardly anyone is going to remember who won the silver medal in swimming in the 1980 Summer Olympics, or who co-starred with an obscure actor in a TV show that ran for three seasons in the late 1990s. Sure, they can update them, but most of the stuff is pretty obscure.
The thing about Adultery is that it was probably made to be played with a polycule rather than a game group. I can see a bunch of consenting people doing this on a boring night - note the word "consenting".
My favourite defunct trivia question is the who wants to be a millionaire question that is unsolvable because it had Robert Patterson as the only person of the 4 answers not to have played batman before
Appreciate the fact the makers of Adultery knew that every good polygamous group of three or more friends of mixed genders has a token non-binary Asexual willing to mediate between their romantic escapades. Like they forgot about gay people but at least they managed to include a Homestuck reference in their game exactly 50 years before the webcomic started. Which honestly does feel like a plotpoint that *would* be in Homestuck, so good work there, boys!
Got a real dumb idea here that I wanted to put down. You know how TCFNA:DW:40-43 is so damn long? Of course you do. Well, why not put what is basically two Chess AIs and have them play a game so you know how it's done?
Me with my five shirts, two jackets, three pairs of shorts, two pairs of sweats, 7 hats, 12 total socks, 6 gloves, and 20 watches on: hey let's play strip tac toe
Just remember there was a 2000's "ghetto monopoly" game called Ghettopoly that got the creator sued by Hasbro, was once sold at Urban Outfitters before being pulled for racism, and apparently made the creator $8.9 million if Wikipedia is correct.
I feel like the base concept of Power Lunch, where a bunch of miscellaneous wacky characters are placed at different tables and players have to come up with fun scenarios for why they’re there, could work well re-skinned with more relevant characters. Not just modern day celebrities and politicians, but maybe even fictional characters. Imagine a game that’s a hodgepodge crossover of pop culture characters and real word figures and players have to figure out why, I dunno, Princess Celestia from My Little Pony, Jack Skellington form Nightmare Before Christmas, former President Abe Lincoln and Dyneres Targerian from Game of Thrones are sitting at a table together. Kinda like the lesser known card game Slash; Romance Without Boundaries minus the whole shipping fanfic angle. Alternatively, if you don’t want the logistical headache of licensing issues, you could come up with a wholly original cast of distinctive characters with thier own profiles on each card to pair together on a table. Like, for example a highschool themed game where you have to figure out why some of these original high schooler characters form different cliche high-school cliques like the goths, nerds, preps and jocks etc are sitting together. I’d say there’s potential.
Any theme based on controversial political issues should automatically be in the running for the worst just because of the game creators never attempting to handle it well.
I have a lead for you. Toons is a GURPS system RPG where you all becomeblooney toon like characters. It was nitch as heck but still got a couple of expansion books. I think you would find it fascinating. I have the game book if you want pictures of it.
Adultery is immoral sure but I don't think I've ever heard of it being an actual crime before o.o at least not in the US. Looked it up, it's actually a felony in three states and illegal and some others but not a crime at all in most of the US.
On the topic of games with UNHOLY theming. You could look into the most sbsurd ttrog, RaHoWa. That stands for "Racial Holy War". Its a game literally designed by neonazis where every character is a negative racial stereotype. On top of that, because these were nerdy skinheads, the game's also a needlessly complex mathematical mess ala FATAL. Yknow, FUN. Oh and btw RaHoWa and FATAL are also connected in that the internet knows them as 2 of the 3 games which together form the trinity of terrible rpgs. The 3rd part of this trio is HYBRID. A game so ludicrously complex that it needs a calculator with LOG10 for CHARACTER CREATION, where the rules are just dumped on you loosely organized with no narrative thread. And the enemy statblocks are broken because the author forgot to add the headings to the tables, so they're just massive piles of needlessly complez, seemingly random numbers with nothing to tell you what they even mean. Just... that game's a trip.
The problem with S#### Tac Toe is that it uses the Tic Tac Toe foundation, Tic Tac Toe is garbage, they should've done Chess instead. Introducing Chexx, it's just like Chess, but with a twist. Everytime you take the opponents piece, the opponent takes removes an article, everytime you check a king, you do something with yourself, you know what, and whenever you get a checkmate, you are the one on top and do the activity with all the remaining articles still on. A perfect game to play with your love one.
When I saw the games from Diplomat, I immediately thought "Those look like games you'd see on the shelf at Spencer Gifts." I checked Wikipedia, and Spencer Gifts opened their first retail store in 1963.
glad youve been riding the wave of subs from the tournament with so many new videos. it's been very smart on your part and ive really enjoyed the content. keep it up 👍
Just found this channel yesterday, and have already watched most of the board games videos (still have yet to watch the tournament). Glad to be along for the ride!
Was hoping you'd mention the toilet or fart themed games, that are just kids' Russian Roulette, with no real gameplay or strategy! In fact, that would be good as its own video, all the games like Pie Face, Toilet Trouble, or Gas Out, that are just RR!
If you wanna talk about games that can kill people, look into the awful drinking games. A lot of them either encourage you do fucked up shit or drink so either a lotta drinking or doing shit like streaking of having mystery sandwiches made up of ingredients by other players.

Strip Campaign for North Africa: the game for all ages, since by the time anyone is required to take their clothes off they'll all be well into retirement.
"All ages"
Yeah nice try Epstein
And also probably skeletonized after removing their clothes, skin, undergarments, sinew, glasses, and internal organs
It’s more like slow burn for North Africa
Strip The Campaign For North Africa is just FATAL: The Board Game Adaptation.
Imagine rolling for potential pasta circumference
Nah, at least CfNA’s systems actually like… interact with each other and mean something to use.
unlike FATAL, TCFNA has more than one playable team
I wonder what the FATAL equivalent to CFNA’s air combat is
NOT FATAL LMAOOOO
In Strip The Campaign For North Africa, Italian players have to strip twice on upkeep due to the infamous pasta rule.
The sad part is that if I was the sort of person who wanted to play Strip The Campaign For North Africa, I would probably actually like that rule.
Did I say sad? I meant brilliant.
I would unironically play a Coupe game set in an HOA. That sounds so goofy
I block your foreclosure with my Contessa.
I would ironically play it
I’m sure there’s a HOA that hired an assassin at some point
isn't that the plot of Hot Fuzz?
I feel like that would take off as a parody version of Coupe once people already know of the game's reputation. Like licensed Clue or Monopoly
Give Diplomat some credit: They released two of their sex-themed games in the best year possible: '69.
It certainly helps how that was a key year in the free love movement.
Nice.
niiiiiiice.
Holy shit it's board game Scott The Woz
fr
You should've seen him when he was board game Sam O'Nella
Reminds me more of Huggbees than Scott The Woz
Wench! is basically just a card game version of The Guy Game (only, at least the former doesn't have anyone underage in it, I hope)
That's what I thought too lol
Full marks for the "Yu-Gi-Ho" joke.
Competitive Strip-tac-toe tournament struck with tragedy as player dies of heatstroke under 37 layers if clothes

0:15 WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SHIT THEMED BOARD GAMES
Id assume the logic is toilet humor appeals to most kids very easily?
Well, everybody poops.
"Nobody poops. It's only you. Feel ashamed".
The idea of a games company that just exclusively made games for swingers and polyamorists is amazing
Unfortunately none of Diplomat's games seem very mechanically interesting. Maybe fun for the right group, but it you have that group, is the game actually adding anything?
I gotta say, going through your history of videos, it's been really interesting seeing your evolution from depicting yourself as a simple cartoon man, to only having your arms and hands on camera to illustrate a physical board game, to being fully on camera to do more involved bits and jokes alongside your explanations. it feels like you've become a lot more confident with yourself as you make more videos, and I think it just makes each one better than the last. You're doing a great job and I appreciate all the work you put into the channel!
The "do a no-no" card in bumps and grinds is probably a smart reference to ULTRAKILL where a +NO-NO style bonus is awarded for killing an enemy with a chainsaw
OHHHH that clears up so much
So you have to kill one of the players with a chainsaw?

Hammerhead's logo should probably be a guy hammering himself in the head after playing one of their games.
Okay that final joke really hit for me because me and my friends have been joking about Campaign for North Africa being the "Perfect Orgy Boardgame" for a few months now
Strip For North Africa has a better ring to it and without context sounds like an activism thing
I can't lie at 4:16 knowing who Oliver North is makes this actually potentially funny
what is it?
Diplomat presents: Biogenics could just become a game of "make a board game baby, then make one for real"
I mean Adultery sounds like a good game for the worlds most dorky swingers
Goddamn the end got me. Imagine a 15-year game of stripping. Do you have to stay stripped over those years or do you just have to roll up to your friend’s twice a month and throw off clothes at the door from the previous sessions like “hey guys I don’t remember where we were in this game we’re gonna have to backtrack”
You're wrong, Coup but with the Homeowners Association would be magnificent, "For The Greater Good"
You forgot “Juden rauẞ”, a board game that was OBVIOUSLY created and sold in Nazi Germany, but then the SS was like “ooohhh no no no noooo, you have to leave that shit to UUUSSS!!” And banned the game for “challenging their movement” because of the goal to capture the “Jews” and place them in the various “collection points” until six “Jews” are captured by the first person to do so.
guys i think diplomat may have been an alien social experiment to study human sexuality
Maybe
The funniest part about pimp: the backhanding is the fact that it follows the same naming scheme for the world of darkness and chronicles of darkness rpg's
Why did they decide that a candle was integral to the gameplay?!?
Romance?

Stripster exists!
I think a rerelease of Power Lunch with "timeless" celebrities or notable people like Elvis, Albert Einstein, Shakespeare, etc. would be a really solid party game.
Surprised there was no mention of Brenda Romero’s “Train”. It’s a board game about getting as many passengers on a train as possible, it’s also about the holocaust.
To be fair, I wouldn’t be surprised if in the 60s models did go to charm school, I think it used to be much more of a thing back then
The Pimp game reminds me of the Italian game Squillo. Its essentially the same thing but its longer.
Too long and it also has 2 expansions one that adds gigolos.
The adult themed ones reminds me of that one random giant adult-themed monopoly board found underneath someone's floor.
"So you have an idea for a board game for me?"
"No sir, I don't. My ideas are dogshit. I'm here to be a janitor, see i was fired by the movie producer guy from..."
"...wait wait wait what did you just say?"
"...i'm here for janitor job because i was fired..."
"No, before that"
"My ideas are dog shit"
"WOW WOW WOW WOW! Let's go with that. You're hired"
*" B R O T H E R . "*
My same thoughts exactly.
The NBC game's premise reminds me of "Trivial Pursuit," a game I have never, ever played, despite the fact that I love trivia and would like to be on _Jeopardy!_ someday. Hardly anyone is going to remember who won the silver medal in swimming in the 1980 Summer Olympics, or who co-starred with an obscure actor in a TV show that ran for three seasons in the late 1990s. Sure, they can update them, but most of the stuff is pretty obscure.
The thing about Adultery is that it was probably made to be played with a polycule rather than a game group. I can see a bunch of consenting people doing this on a boring night - note the word "consenting".
My favourite defunct trivia question is the who wants to be a millionaire question that is unsolvable because it had Robert Patterson as the only person of the 4 answers not to have played batman before
Appreciate the fact the makers of Adultery knew that every good polygamous group of three or more friends of mixed genders has a token non-binary Asexual willing to mediate between their romantic escapades.
Like they forgot about gay people but at least they managed to include a Homestuck reference in their game exactly 50 years before the webcomic started.
Which honestly does feel like a plotpoint that *would* be in Homestuck, so good work there, boys!
It's us man. The baby was us.
Got a real dumb idea here that I wanted to put down. You know how TCFNA:DW:40-43 is so damn long? Of course you do. Well, why not put what is basically two Chess AIs and have them play a game so you know how it's done?
Me with my five shirts, two jackets, three pairs of shorts, two pairs of sweats, 7 hats, 12 total socks, 6 gloves, and 20 watches on: hey let's play strip tac toe
2:42 What? Why? Lepracy is really quite exiting -- waking up in the morning, hoping everything is still in place; and so many betting opportunities...
5:37 I love how half of the "personality traits" aren't personality traits
Ah yes, the greatest flaw in my personality; overweight!
10:13 must say the art style is so 2000s it carries a certain charm.
Just remember there was a 2000's "ghetto monopoly" game called Ghettopoly that got the creator sued by Hasbro, was once sold at Urban Outfitters before being pulled for racism, and apparently made the creator $8.9 million if Wikipedia is correct.
Of fucking course it was Urban Outfitters…
You're telling me a trivia game released in 1962 is out of date? No flippin' way!
you want to be the one who gets the doo in doggie doo? I thought it was you didn't want the doo
I feel like the base concept of Power Lunch, where a bunch of miscellaneous wacky characters are placed at different tables and players have to come up with fun scenarios for why they’re there, could work well re-skinned with more relevant characters. Not just modern day celebrities and politicians, but maybe even fictional characters.
Imagine a game that’s a hodgepodge crossover of pop culture characters and real word figures and players have to figure out why, I dunno, Princess Celestia from My Little Pony, Jack Skellington form Nightmare Before Christmas, former President Abe Lincoln and Dyneres Targerian from Game of Thrones are sitting at a table together. Kinda like the lesser known card game Slash; Romance Without Boundaries minus the whole shipping fanfic angle.
Alternatively, if you don’t want the logistical headache of licensing issues, you could come up with a wholly original cast of distinctive characters with thier own profiles on each card to pair together on a table. Like, for example a highschool themed game where you have to figure out why some of these original high schooler characters form different cliche high-school cliques like the goths, nerds, preps and jocks etc are sitting together. I’d say there’s potential.
Any theme based on controversial political issues should automatically be in the running for the worst just because of the game creators never attempting to handle it well.
It’s also guaranteed to be horribly offensive or just horribly outdated a couple years after release.
you are the board game equivalent of scott the woz
I have a lead for you. Toons is a GURPS system RPG where you all becomeblooney toon like characters. It was nitch as heck but still got a couple of expansion books. I think you would find it fascinating. I have the game book if you want pictures of it.
Toon was its own system, no connection to GURPS except for the same publisher. Well, okay, and it only uses d6s, but not in the same way GURPS does.
Adultery is immoral sure but I don't think I've ever heard of it being an actual crime before o.o at least not in the US.
Looked it up, it's actually a felony in three states and illegal and some others but not a crime at all in most of the US.
it’s also illegal for anyone in the military (and commanders take it very seriously)
@@Podzhagitel Did not know that!
Frank Sinatra, back in the 30's, was charged with ''Carrying on with a married woman!''
@@trevorblue4531 Huh, did not know that either!
20:22 you forgot the best part--the game involves drinking! So it's all the fun of a fire hazard with all the clumsiness of being drunk!
On the topic of games with UNHOLY theming. You could look into the most sbsurd ttrog, RaHoWa. That stands for "Racial Holy War". Its a game literally designed by neonazis where every character is a negative racial stereotype. On top of that, because these were nerdy skinheads, the game's also a needlessly complex mathematical mess ala FATAL. Yknow, FUN.
Oh and btw RaHoWa and FATAL are also connected in that the internet knows them as 2 of the 3 games which together form the trinity of terrible rpgs. The 3rd part of this trio is HYBRID. A game so ludicrously complex that it needs a calculator with LOG10 for CHARACTER CREATION, where the rules are just dumped on you loosely organized with no narrative thread. And the enemy statblocks are broken because the author forgot to add the headings to the tables, so they're just massive piles of needlessly complez, seemingly random numbers with nothing to tell you what they even mean. Just... that game's a trip.
The Career Girl board game is actually pretty cute. Love those old illustrations.
I agree! That retro art style is so charming.
It doesn't look bad or anything, it's just... Airplane hostess

The problem with S#### Tac Toe is that it uses the Tic Tac Toe foundation, Tic Tac Toe is garbage, they should've done Chess instead. Introducing Chexx, it's just like Chess, but with a twist. Everytime you take the opponents piece, the opponent takes removes an article, everytime you check a king, you do something with yourself, you know what, and whenever you get a checkmate, you are the one on top and do the activity with all the remaining articles still on. A perfect game to play with your love one.
I love the stock footage of the businessmen fighting in an abandoned warehouse. They didn't bother to make it look like a single blow actually hit
When I saw the games from Diplomat, I immediately thought "Those look like games you'd see on the shelf at Spencer Gifts." I checked Wikipedia, and Spencer Gifts opened their first retail store in 1963.
If you ask Oliver North why he was having lunch with Ted Koppel and Helmut Kohl, he'll just say "I don't recall"
Why do you have to use that 1-frame "trick"? It's not funny, it's just annoying for people who actually want to pause and read.
So the algorithm doesn’t age restrict the video
The Comma and Full Stop keys allow frame-by-frame searching.

Thank you for checking out the stuff!
Was hoping you'd mention the toilet or fart themed games, that are just kids' Russian Roulette, with no real gameplay or strategy! In fact, that would be good as its own video, all the games like Pie Face, Toilet Trouble, or Gas Out, that are just RR!
6:20 Oy vey indeed! This game is quite the joke I tell y’a what! Oy vey affirmative!
If you wanna talk about games that can kill people, look into the awful drinking games.
A lot of them either encourage you do fucked up shit or drink so either a lotta drinking or doing shit like streaking of having mystery sandwiches made up of ingredients by other players.
