You can see how Dom just delights in being a character actor in everything he does. And I know from having friends like that that sometimes it’s a bit annoying and you wish they could dial it back a bit; but if they did you would not have the amazing opportunities and experiences that can also come from it.
The funniest thing with Sully complaining about all the easy cards that Holly had, he would have had those cards should Holly have been able to set the foundation properly herself!
Laurie is the true antagonist of No Rolls Barred. First he overtook Adam and then he forced Sullivan to lose to Holly? Who knows what will happen if he wins Lord of the Board...
@@longing_for_rainy_days Nah, while Holly did get the best cards she still only screwed up 2 times while all the others did so 6 times which is a bit more then just luck. Holly just played better then Sully even if you don't count the luck. Everyone involved here have dex as their dump stat. Dom is the true bad guy, his manic laughter beats everyone and Tom is the only one who at times might be a challenge there. Nah, poor Laurie is more the big brother who have to suffer all his younger siblings shenanigans.
I want to take a moment to acknowledge Dom's heartfelt exclamation of "RIght in the gooch" at 19:18, because nobody around the table apparently noticed...
"THAT'S A LOAD-BEARING CORPSE!!" Meanwhile in my head the worker's corpse is lying there repeating under his breath: "part of the site, part of the crew" "part of the site, part of the crew" "part of the site, part of the crew" As the girders slowly become one with his body. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think he usually laughs and chats, but his dynamic with Adam is very competitive and bitter, and their rivalry has taken up a lot of the spotlight in prior episodes, but Adam isn't in this one.
I also feel like Adam just overall talks and and takes more of the spotlight when he's in videos. Not saying it's a bad thing he just tends to be a bit more out there.
I love that Laurie consistently gets within millimetres of placing his pieces, then suddenly reconsiders and starts all over just to try to put them back exactly where he was trying to place them initially, sometimes three times in a row.
Poor Laurie trying to place that last brick while Dom was blathering absolute nonsense as Laurie got more and more wound up had me legitimately in tears 😂😭 Poor Larie omg
Great game for this group. Laurie and Dom are perfect options for this rage inducing game where you feel so powerless as your hands just can’t do what your brain knows it needs to.
Oh fridge magnets! Wow, this episode was probably the best I've ever watched, I had a blast from the first minute to the last, I just kept laughing all along. And Dom, the main character, made it a thousand times better
Could it be because Adam isn't here? They seem to be naturally enjoying themselves more it seems to me. I like the guy don't get me wrong but it's something different from the usual
@@Shift12without Adam they don't seem quite as competitive, so there's more room for levity. But having Adam as enemy number one brings more chaos, and that's more fun to me
@@Shift1299% of board game club is people naturally enjoying themselves regardless of the exact make up of the group. Unless you think the previous 142 episodes which Adam has been in have had them faking it
@harveyholmes9533 maybe I didn't express myself correctly, yes I know they're having fun, no I don't think that they've been phoning it in or faking it for the past 140 odd episodes, but I haven't really seen Laurie relax and go with the flow as much as this last episode, no need for extra calculations on how to have fun but also mess with Adam at the same time
Every accident you have, you lose one of your safety certificates. If you lose all three certificates, you dissappear. If Stalin comes around and is satisfied by the work of one of your commrades four times he visits, the rest of you dissappear, the 'winner' is taken away to be 'honored' for their hard work to the state, and they may or may not dissappear.
Dom - "What are we trying... what are we even trying to build here?" It's a block of flats, Dom. "The tenants arrive in the entrance hall here, are carried along the corridor on a conveyor belt in extreme comfort and past murals depicting Mediterranean scenes, toward the rotating knives. The last twenty feet of the corridor are heavily soundproofed."
after watching the channel for maybe a month, ive managed to convince my family into board game nights. card games, BOARD games, we play it now! a favourite’s got to be herd mentality. thanks a lot!
I love the whole nrb crew. Thank you for making me laugh and showing my family and me new games we have never heard of. We have a list of games we have seen you guys play we plan on purchasing. I miss Adam but Laurie is awesome as a substitute teacher. And Sullivan is hilarious and Holly and Dom. And Teri cracking up in the back ground. Always puts me in a great mood. Thank you so much for all your work.
I love how in every BOTC episode Holly is some evil mastermind, and in every BGC episode Holly is just doing their absolute best, they're really trying I swear they're just having a hard time right now.
I don't know what was for breakfast at NRB before filming this episode, but this was one of the funniest Board Game Club episodes I have seen so far. 10/10 would build again.
I believe I'm not breaking any rules as a Patron here but they mentioned in their recent podcast that they are all going on vacation in these couple of weeks, so I believe it is his time rn.
@@grog3514They made a post about it on patreon and social media. I am not aware of all the details but in summary: credible allegations of abuse of power/station, this isn’t the first time (he was removed from a different wrestling channel for similar issues), the initial quick look into it wasn’t great and while an investigation is ongoing he and the channel have parted ways. I am others can give much better context than that. I didn’t realize it given it always seemed like this was his channel but he was apparently brought in to be host and the others were more so the creators of the channel. Laurie is acting as current main host and honestly without Adam there Laurie has opened up so much more and went from someone I didn’t have a strong opinion about to a favorite cast member. I really think the constant ribbing and treating him like he was mean type cast him into a role in videos. He’s so much funnier and has great charisma with the others when he isn’t being cast into the role of “angry backstabbing tattoo guy” that in hindsight was being pushed into him IMO.
I sincerely hope that there’s an affiliate link situation in the works - I’ve purchased one or two games from seeing these videos and would have happily bought through an NRB link.
Stalin’s version of this game is The Mini Gulag Construction Set. All the beams are the same color and all inconsistently made so some are made of rubber, others will crumble if not fully supported, others are made of solid lead. You must achieve round by round height requirements that eventually become unobtainable. And you must ensure all the accidents and deaths are hidden whenever the inspector shows up, or you simply bribe them. Push the workers too hard and you’ll have to spend turns brutally putting down a rebellion.
New heights of evilness from Holly. All her life, she's been playing dumb, hiding the fact that she has good dexterity, in order to coldly finish off her unsuspecting opponents! What other scary secret talents is she hiding???
Laurie made a reference to Men At Work… He’s previously made a reference to You’re The Voice - John Farnham… Bloke is pretty much one of our own now 🇦🇺😂
If you enjoy this game, here's another suggestion; Menara, which is a cooperative game in which you build a multi-story temple using platforms and multi-coloured pillars. It's very tricky!
When Dom was handed the hook I really wanted him to pull his mini hammer from communopoly and cross it with the hook and say the power of Stalin compels you while pointed at the workers
In this episode of NRB, we have 4 Brits being British, have a great laugh and providing sublime entertainment. Anyone else want to see an episode with Teri playing in the game?
1:07:40 This is a fine example of the Plank Gag, where a person carrying a long plank knocks over others, oblivious to their presence or the havoc they're causing.
I feel like playing this game with the goal of running out of a certain/many ressources could be an absolutely hellish concept for an episode of house rules
I don't know how long after Communopoly this game was filmed, but I love that Dom still has the Stalin-stache.
He might be waiting for the four player version.
@@joshkaid I am wating for the notification of when the video is up..
@@joshkaid As are we all...
He makes it look good to be fair
Dominic Allen is a man made to have a moustache. It looks so good on him
Dom is at the centre of the most popular video on the channel... So, yeah! Main character confirmed!
Oh wow it actually is. I couldn't believe it overtook guess who
Exhibit B: time-stamp 1:00:00 is him punching the tower.
You can see how Dom just delights in being a character actor in everything he does. And I know from having friends like that that sometimes it’s a bit annoying and you wish they could dial it back a bit; but if they did you would not have the amazing opportunities and experiences that can also come from it.
"Load-Bearing Corpse" would have been a fantastic title for this game.
Load bearing corpse is me holding McDonalds rush hour together when were short staffed
Dom saying "LOOK AT ME" is the hardest I've laughed in a while 😂
I'm kind of getting the Stella vibe, albeit all the seductive-tension filled Dom radiating a lot.
52:00

Wait a minute, this isnt the four player Communist Monopoly!
Hurmph.
At least we have Dom's mustache. Almost breathtaking in its presence.
let us not forget Sullivan’s calves, equally stunning
@@blunderstruck1 Breathtaking.
In fact I haven't breathed for the last 2 hours.
There would have to be 5 people for Communopoly, because Dom-Stalin isn't an active player
Its coming though 👍
I love the way the designer self inserted herself into the game, rewarding players for taking risks in her game, well done.
oh that is so cool; I did not realize that.
Dom saying “I have the power of life and death” made me BURST out laughing 😂 😭
The "We put Stalin in charge of workers and he's already killed all of them" had me dying
And in the first 10 minutes, Holly Musgrave has somehow shown what it's like to be my last remaining braincell.
@@joekerr1607 Truly a role model for all last braincell individuals everywhere!!!
Holly is our collective braincell
Enthusiasm. Ambition. Confusion. Despair. Holly.
Holly is the powerhouse of the braincell
"THAT'S A LOAD-BEARING CORPSE!!"
Meanwhile in my head the worker's corpse is lying there repeating under his breath:
"part of the site, part of the crew"
"part of the site, part of the crew"
"part of the site, part of the crew"
As the girders slowly become one with his body.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The cast for this video
Tickly Hands
Big Hands
Silly Hands
Starlin
That whole fridge magnets breakdown might have been the funniest thing I've ever seen on Board Game Club 🤣
It was nice to see in this episode that laurie seems to be genuinely relaxed - I don't know if its just me seeing him laugh and chat more?
I think he usually laughs and chats, but his dynamic with Adam is very competitive and bitter, and their rivalry has taken up a lot of the spotlight in prior episodes, but Adam isn't in this one.
@@MKisFeelinSpicy that's the perfect way to word it!
He’s the host, so naturally that would make him more talkative.
I also feel like Adam just overall talks and and takes more of the spotlight when he's in videos. Not saying it's a bad thing he just tends to be a bit more out there.
@@gamerTAANK because he’s the host and has to explain stuff to the audience and guide the players, no? Is he not also the main creator of the channel?
Dom is the perfect heel, its good to seem him find a medium to express his natural talent.
He is Iron Sheik level heel
Just want to say, Dom is slowly looking more and more like a villain each time he shows up, love it.
I love that Laurie consistently gets within millimetres of placing his pieces, then suddenly reconsiders and starts all over just to try to put them back exactly where he was trying to place them initially, sometimes three times in a row.
And then Dom talks about ghetto blasters
New GIF of this session... 52:02 Dom screaming down at his builder meeple: "Look at ME!!!!!!"
Poor Laurie trying to place that last brick while Dom was blathering absolute nonsense as Laurie got more and more wound up had me legitimately in tears 😂😭 Poor Larie omg
Great game for this group. Laurie and Dom are perfect options for this rage inducing game where you feel so powerless as your hands just can’t do what your brain knows it needs to.
Dom legit is a cornerstone of NRB's most popular video, give him the respect he deserves, lol.
All hail Dom! ✊✊
Oh shit, Communopoly beat out the Guess Who video? Wild!
ALL HAIL
@@MezephelesArtI had to check too! Well deserved though, it is a great video after all.
Everyone squeaking and giggling at Dom's antics as he yells at his sons/meeple is just golden ❤
Thank you so much for playing my game 😘😘😘
Thank you for making such a charming, fun, nerve-racking game
Where can I purchase? 😊
Oh fridge magnets! Wow, this episode was probably the best I've ever watched, I had a blast from the first minute to the last, I just kept laughing all along. And Dom, the main character, made it a thousand times better
Every video is better for having Dom Allen in it.
"That's a load bearing corpse!" sums up this game quite nicely.
I didn't expect it based on what the game was but this is the hardest I've laughed in a long time
Could it be because Adam isn't here? They seem to be naturally enjoying themselves more it seems to me. I like the guy don't get me wrong but it's something different from the usual

First Dom saying Ghetto Blaster and then Laurie breaking down is up there with the funniest moments of NRB board game club. 😂😂😂
crying laughing at the dom yelling at the builders/sully immediately jumping in with his little sad boy voice dynamic
It's always fun when Dom is around.
laurie’s prick-hter scale joke has gone thoroughly under-appreciated
this is not the episode i would thought of being one of the funniest for such a simple game lmaoo
The little comments by Teri are great, she needs a credit for commenteri
Ayyyy nice
Dom and Sully will always be the perfect duo no matter the situation. They just bounce off each other so well
Dom is such a treasure. I hope he becomes the next Stalin, but better and British. Truly phenomenal man
Look at that glorious moustache. Long may Dom reign as our Lord and master 🙏
Every accident you have, you lose one of your safety certificates. If you lose all three certificates, you dissappear.

I needed this episode good. Thank you, team, thank you, A- I mean, thank you, Laurie.
I had tears in my eyes from laughing probably half a dozen times in this episode. Fridge magnets it was good!
Dom - "What are we trying... what are we even trying to build here?"
It's a block of flats, Dom.
"The tenants arrive in the entrance hall here, are carried along the corridor on a conveyor belt in extreme comfort and past murals depicting Mediterranean scenes, toward the rotating knives. The last twenty feet of the corridor are heavily soundproofed."
Incredible! What a great comment!
I loved how much fun they were clearly having throughout this one
this one feels more like a house rules episode because of how unhinged it is, i adore it
Babe,new No rolls barred video just dropped!
Wake up
❤❤1❤❤111
I swear there must be something in the air at the new studio. The quantity and absurdity of the bits since they moved there has been outrageous.
Laurie being hilarious and Dom being evil is what I need in my life.
“9.5 on the pricktor scale” well done Laurie. I’m using that one.
after watching the channel for maybe a month, ive managed to convince my family into board game nights. card games, BOARD games, we play it now! a favourite’s got to be herd mentality. thanks a lot!
So I’m a man at work watching men at work playing men at work
Dom saying "LOOK AT ME" is the hardest I've laughed in a while 😂 XD
Dom you are a legend you truly are the main character I was roaring with laughter the whole time !!! And can we please get 4player communopoly !!!
I love the whole nrb crew. Thank you for making me laugh and showing my family and me new games we have never heard of. We have a list of games we have seen you guys play we plan on purchasing.

Holy binbags that was such a fridge magneting funny episode
Domrade is such a perfect combo for Dom!
I vote for Domrade!
God he did a monsterkill with the white one!
52:39 Along with the maniacal laughing in the background, this is the darkest timeline fever-dream.
hope adam’s doing alright! everyone needs a break at some point. dom is a great substitute though.

@@MeonLights He will be back for the Lord of the Board stream surely?
That’s not til September, so I’m sure he will be. They wouldn’t do that without him 😊
@@helgecko wait what? Whats happening on Friday then?
“Oh fridge magnets” is now a permanent part of my vocabulary 😂. Good god I was in tears laughing at Doms breakdown at that part
Had no expectations for this game, so very pleasantly surprised, the foursome did wonderful together

This has been the best, least hinged episode of Board Game Club. Holy fridge magnets.
1:16:15 to 1:19:40 - From 'Oh Fridge Magnets' to utter destruction
Laurie's Geppetto joke was great at 52:55 😄
Dom getting mad at everyone because of the fridge magnets thing, then laurie getting mad for a very similar thing was gold.
Dom is absolutely unhinged in the best possible way!
That was a truly fridge magnetic gehto blaster of a game. Top shelf. 😂🎉
“Shake hands with danger.
Meet a guy who oughta know.
I used to laugh at safety,
Now they call me… Three-Finger Joe.”
Fan of RiffTrax, or just industrial safety horror movies in general?
"That's a load-bearing corpse!" is a sentence that should not be funny in any way, and yet, here we are lmfao 56:26
This episode was so unhinged I was crying laughing by the end, has to be one of my favorite episodes so far
Well, we don't have any blueprints Dom because all the architects were blinded.
Nice callback 😂

the hogs that died in the second world war will never be forgotten. i mean black sabbath did make a song for them called "war pigs" so there is that

I just cannot pick a favourite part of this episode, but I think around 3:15 through 1:37:21 is the best best bit : )
Can't believe the double brick workers weren't immediately christened 'Stanley two-brick'
Inhale, exhale, then hold your breathe at the natural pause. That’ll help steady you
I've been crying laughing this whole time. This is the most ridiculous episode.
I forgot it was Tuesday until I saw the video pop up. Happy first Tuesday of the month, all!
I feel like playing this game with the goal of running out of a certain/many ressources could be an absolutely hellish concept for an episode of house rules
We often put the crane in the middle of the building, they are modular, they can be taken apart.
Dom and Sully definitely played on hard mode here, having to reach from the long side of the table!
Me: oh this game doesn’t seem all that interesting really but I’ll watch anyway
Me, ten minutes later: buying this game
🎶come with meee
and you'll beee
in a wooorld
of OSHA violations 🎶
"That's a load-bearing corpse!" Immediate cut to Dom.
I do like the facial hair, if Dom was on the fence about it.
