Why do you tempt me so
I was about to write that I can watch a 4 hours video of you guys playing, until I saw this comment. Makes sense, you guys need to make a living. I like (mostly) your party games sessions, but I love watching those heavy games ones. Announce an Eclipse Second Dawn session, and I'll toss a coin to my witchers. A Dune (gale force 9) and I'll throw the whole wallet. Probably my favorites playthrough to watch, love the chemistry between you all and the humor.
This game is very similiar to Battlestar Galatica. One of my favorite games
@@readilium3432 just judging by the few times I played BG it seems more balanced. Each time I've played winning and losing the game has came down to one dice roll.
Confirmed that the deep ones are NRB fans. They definitely got onboard.
ADAM: Huge pop.
Joke of the day!
@@NoRollsBarredthank you adam, very cool
Jon is great role-playing in this game. He really is committing when they have to lose sanity.
He’s so good he’s getting type cast at this point.
In this episode Jon truly captures the slow descent into madness that is a hallmark of Lovecraft.
To be fair, Jon seems to do that with every game played on NRB
I have really come to enjoy the crew playing these more complex games lately. The party game episodes are gems of course, but these more complex, beefy games show so much more tension and insight into everyone else's psyche. Love it so much.
100% agreed
Same. Party games aren't really my thing, so these bigger games are great.
100% on board
I love both types of games so it's really nice seeing a mix. NRB are awesome.
Same. Love some thematic board games
Adam: Jon, do you trust me to do the thing we all have been setting me up to do?
Jon has flashbacks of all the times he's trusted Carley, and others in Blood on the Clocktower only to be betrayed: Yeah Adam I trust you.
Excellent to give us a chance to 'play along' and not know who the traitors were until the reveal. Great fun!
Brooke and Laurie looking at each other at the same time was gold that was hilarious
LAURIE: Team Rocket is blasting off again…
People having unintentionally brilliant comedic timing in sync with each other will never not be amazing.
Jon Gracey loosing his mind after being betrayed is so entertaining. Poor Jon can't catch a break being betrayed by Carley every game in BOTC and by Adam and Laurie here. Loved this game!!!
Laurie vs. Jon is always great content.
LAURIE: It is one of life's great pleasures to poke this easily aggravated bear
with the help of isaac saying “laurie is my demon”
@@raventrunite6459 true
Laurie has literally become my favorite 😂
Sully FTW LMAO
Literally?
Hell of a heel-turn from Adam. That's a wrestling reference, Jon, in case you want that in your pocket.
"Or should we say, Fishmael" - yep, Brooke just won BGC! The outcome of the rest of the game doesn't matter!
I feel like Laurie's playing most of this game by attacking Jon's sanity directly. 😂
Laurie should write The Art of War for Boardgames. "If your enemy is of choleric temprament (or Jon), seek to irritate him."
I've never watched any of your videos before, but holy shit the production quality of this is insane. Now to get completely lost in the backlog of videos you've got for me to catch up on
Been waiting for this! Unfathomable and Nemesis were the games I was most looking forward too this year. Thanks so much all! Your game sessions are always a delight.
LAURIE: Which was your favourite?
@@NoRollsBarred Nemesis has the edge for me, but they both have the same kind of “flavor” to them… fun stuff
Bro this episode was so freaking brilliant. Adam's reveal was obviously epic but also starting at 1:50:20 when they all start railing on Laurie and he's adamantly denying it and everyone just starts yelling at each other had me literally crying from laughter for a good 5 minutes. omfg so hilarious
I recently got gifted this game, as it's basically a remaster of one of my favourites, Battlestar Galactica.
I loved this episode, and I honestly didn't catch Laurie as a bad guy until that important skill check (I did get a read on you though Adam!)
Minor rules clear up. I don't think these would have made a difference though.
1: Laurie, while not starting with any cards in his hand as the first player, should have drawn some cards at the start of his first turn. You don't skip that part.
2: Revealed traitors no longer draw a mythos card at the end of their turn. So the one drawn after Adam revealed would not have happened.
Other than that, great episode! This is the one thing my partner and I have subbed to on patron and we don't regret it in the least.
Another great game entertainingly played by the BGC gang! This series continues to be the highlight of my week. However a few weeks ago Twilight Imperium appeared atop the kallax in the background, proudly surveying our heroes... and now i watch each video hoping to see that glorious space lion appear in the vault!
LAURIE: It would have to be for a special occasion if we ever did it. It would just take too long to play - we normally film a couple of games a day!
That would be fantastic. TI4 is my number one game of all time.
@@NoRollsBarred 100,000 subs?
I have literally watched this video ten times, but I will always come back for the reveal. The look on everyone's faces is amazing.
The heat between Laurie and Jon is so entertaining lol
First player is suppose to start their turn by drawing cards according to their character skills. So, in this game the captain should have some cards to play on the first mythos crisis. At least that what I understood by reading the rules.
Definitely, That's why the first player gets no cards in the setup as they are about to draw them at the start of their turn. Then all players can be involved in the first skill check.
1:40:43 😂😂😂 Brooke and Laurie looking simultaneously is so FUNNY!
Jon roleplaying the loss of sanity to perfection.
This was easily one of the best BGC episodes. Thanks for the opportunity to not know who the traitors were because that really helped get me invested in the game.
Hell yeah boys more board games! Unfathomable's a brilliant game at that!
That was a hilarious watch. Pretty sure we were a few steps away from a full Jon head explosion there at one point. I will say (spoilers for the end ahead)...
This game seems veeeery difficult to win as a good player. With the game itself constantly leaving the good team on the back foot with few options and almost half your team working to make it even harder, I'm not sure how the humans are supposed to get a win. As soon as Adam joined team BadFish, everyone else was already screwed. They just didn't know it yet. Looks fun (and beautiful), but I question the balancing.
Based on BSG plays/watches, it is a brutal game. But if the humans figure out who the traitors are, it gets much harder for them to negatively affect things.
Jon and Sully played suboptimally. The good guys did not attack the Deep ones for several turns, a critical mistake.
This game seems hard enough to win without traitors, im guessing winning as a human is a huge accomplishemnt
I played a solo game, using 3 characters, with no traitors, to help me learn the rules. I lost! 😒
I was one track away from winning and then lost due to all the creatures getting on board but it was almost my first human win after three games!
Can't believe I just spent 2 hours watching other people playing a board game but I have to say... fucking brilliant. Have a new subscriber to your channel. Jon is hilarious and Adam makes a great host!
Thank you Jon for the laughs. Genuinely funny when Jon semi loses it...
The least Laurie deserves after nearly winning an unwinnable BOTC, everyone always suspects the poor guy though 🤣
1:40:40 is a perfect comedic timing.
Timestamp 1:50:00 Jon's decent into madness is complete. 🤣🤣
Bucket list updated; if I ever find myself in London, to sit at that table for a game with this crew. You folks are epic!
Adam playing the most tori character is everything 😂😂😂😂
That absolute sync at 1:40:41 is amazing! And with the face Brooke makes it's like they're muppets! xD
Once again my favorite part of the week, SULLY and friends. Love this channel
My board games to buy list grows after this episode. Question: how complex is this game, it looks like there’s a lot to do?
Also with Jon’s vast knowledge of wrestling will we see him on Quizzlemania?? Lolol
LAURIE: The rules are actually pretty streamlined for this - so you can get going pretty quickly and then consult a separate rules reference booklet for specific situations which might come up
When you leave Insmouth to see the world, and on the journey back the family tries to eat the stowaways
Laurie finally gets a win as a baddie!!!
LAURIE: Absolutely chuffed to giblets
My roommate has been longing for this game since it came out. I feel like this episode will be the final rocking of the boat that will push him over the edge lol.
So Adam’s character is…Adam. Tory.
Big fan of No Rolls Barred now. I use your recommendations for most of my board games now. It's hard to get a normal group for games going for me though. If only I could play with you guys. T___T
I'm in the same boat man, but I started showing my dnd group some of them and they enjoyed it
I have enjoyed 90% of all the BGC episodes, but this one seems to have blown all of the previous ones out of the water! Yes, pun totally intended. The best 2 hours of 2021, easily.
Yo, great show. From many play throughs of bsg back in the day, you can inadvertantly reveal your loyalty if you say how many or how big of each type of skill card you put in to a skill check. We stuck to saying whether we can help a lot or not much.
Jon coming apart was the funniest thing
Loving the more complex games between party games!
LAURIE: It is a BIG month for complex games!
It's funny how you guys are playing a game I just got myself. But yeah I'm loving all the games ya'll end up showing off. Can't wait for the inevitable Chinatown episode and fingers crossed, VERY CROSSED that even this table can handle ECLIPSE (which is probably my favorite 4x game)
Laurie had me in stitches with his constant denials, so great! Love these videos!
Finally! Have been waiting for an upload from you guys. Looking forward to your next masterpiece video, you manage to convince me to buy the game every time… you are a marketing genius.
Is the Mallory family at all related to the Fairmonts?
Perhaps there was a Mrs. Mallory (neé Fairmont)
Ooh another accent I LOVE! Sully's the man!
Honestly with this and the last cotb episode, I've never seen John so angry!!!
Clocktower on the Blood? 😂
@@brandonvangieson8087 Clock on the Bloodtower
Ain't no club like a Board Game Club, cause a Board Game Club don't stop!
I had no idea about this game. Battlestar Galactica is my favorite board game and I have to thank you guys for introducing me to this reskin of it. I bought it - any excuse to play more battlestar is a good excuse lol. Just need to break my nasty habit of calling all the cards by their space equivalent names and get used to playing without an airlock to throw people out of again 😂
With No Rolls Barred and the Sammy vlog both being released I live for noon on Tuesdays. Y'all gotta get SRS on a blood on the clock tower sometime. Can you even imagine the bits he would produce? Him, Jon and Carley together would wreck utter chaos even if they were all on the good team. Oh the beautiful chaos. 🤣
Vlog Crew fan huh? Always nice to run into people of culture down here in the comments.
Nobody going to appreciate that Paul Bearer set a fire in the boiler room? Nope, OK then 😂
I lost everything on the Green Ranger flute theme 😂😂😂😂
Absolutely bonkers show, so good!!! I had a feeling, along with Adam, that Laurie was up to no good! Glad I chose to keep my eyes closed during the reveals; definitely more exciting that way. Keep it up and can't wait for Dune, aka "Movie tie-in Cosmic Encounter"!!!
For those who don't know this game is a reskin of the Battlestar Galactica board game. The designers licensing rights ran out so the game was re-released as a eldrich horror reskin with almost all the same mechanics with some small slight changes. I own both and they are great games, though I do recommend if you can get your hands on a original copy of the Battlestar version then do so. It is slightly less complicated.
I love that in every boardgame set during the turn of the 20th century, Adam always draws some upperclass twat to play as. Talk about type casting.
The captain should have drawn 5 cards on the first turn. The first player doesn't get the opening 3 cards, but they still draw their 5 at the beginning of their turn
Honestly it probably helped them since he couldn't do any screwing over for an entire cycle.
Had already liked it, went to like it again after "Wrestling facts with Jon Gracey"
"shut the F up yoda" made me giggle xD
1:51:03
The traitor reveal from Adam was the most beautiful play I have ever seen, especially since it took everyone at the table by surprise.
The buildup starts at 1:46:13.
20 minutes in I have no idea what’s going on but I will watch anything with Sully!
Jon you are wonderful
When I saw a 2 hour episode I went "off, thats a lot of minutes" but then I watched it and never noticed how time flew by.... Good show chaps! I liket that one, although it does seem way to easy fro the traitors. I think in my personal dilema between this one and Nemesis I'll have to go with Nemesis as the next addition to my collection. Needless to say hyped for the Dune epsiode... I'm loving the flow of some beefier games being played by you lot. Don't get me wrong I like a party game but the episode feels a lot more meaningful to me when there's some meet on the board game bones we chew on for entertainment. Keep them coming lads!
FISH FINGERS MY ASSSSS! Absolutely wonderful episode. Y'all are tip top.
The confessional commentations were sooo damn funny this episode!😂😂😂
27:27 That reverence to the Green Ranger's flute song was perfect
I would love to move to England JUST so I could play boardgames with these wonderful people.
Did Adam just summon the dragon zord at 27 minutes in?
Well thank you. Now I need to update my wishlist, and hope my letter to Santa gets there in time. This game looks fantastic
I so hope daddy Ben from there blood on clocktower, can come join in on some boardgames in future
Came here to watch a play through before possibly buying It. Big Arkham Files fan. First watch, subscribed straight after and have watched many vids now. Great channel, quality content, hugely likable crew and a stunning gaming table! Thanks guys. Jason, Ireland.
1:00:51 Everything in the water "GETS ON BOOOOARD!"
Played this as Edmund Mallory. didnt leave the galley until the last turn, just constantly drawing cards to pitch to fortunate son. seems real strong
The captain being able to make this game way longer really makes it kinda crummy!! Really wonderful video as always though!
First thought is Jon is sitting in the wrong seat!
I'm not sure if the gang got the "or" cards wrong or if my playgroup has - at 19:01, I believe Edmund chooses whether to do the top half of the card and resolve the skill check, or do the bottom half of the card and skip the skill check for a smaller penalty than failing (there would still be lots of treachery in the chaos deck, but he wouldn't be defeated in the process).
These in person playthroughs have really inspired me to crank out a few of my old favourites (Cosmic Encounter, Chinatown, For Sale), and get Unfathomable back to the table as well. It's easy to see why the Battlestar Galactica game it was based on was so beloved.
I think you guys would love Spartacus: A Game of Blood and Treachery, it's another old beloved favourite and recently got a reprint. I advise playing to 10 or 11 points though just to keep the playtime snappy. I can see everyone having a blast trading gladiators, scheming against one another and gambling on the hilariously entertaining dice-chucking arena fights.
Laurie's face at the Goldust fact cracked me up.
Ah, Edmund Mallory. Unfathomable's variant to Preston Fairmont of Mansions of Madness.
(spoilers) ... wow what a great game, but ....
I have no idea how good would EVER win here. Laurie played basically for the good team the entire first part and still they already lost all chances at the half way. I even would assume that the might have failed the 17 check without any traitor... It feels even harder than Battlestar with the "jump" also killing the passengers
I haven't play unfathomable but I have played arkham horror the card game (which has lots of similar mechanics and concepts) and what I've learned from that game is you don't need to win every skill check. Look at the downside, work out if you can survive it and then just don't commit any cards. Actions in this game seem really powerful but they were constantly committing them rather than taking 1 sanity for example. You also had Jon not trusting his gut and letting laurie get away with being evil all game. He could have checked him and sent him to the brig and then laurie would have had a terrible time as a traitor.
LAURIE: I played along with them, but I didn't help them much, which burnt through a lot of their cards. As James said below you've got to take a few skill checks on the chin and be proactive in traitor hunting. Other things to do are use the galley to get a mix of cards and dig out items from the cargo hold which are SUPER useful and nobody did. But with an evil captain from the off they had a really uphill battle
Laurie did not play for the good team. To begin with, he made a rules mistake when he started the game with no cards in hand.
The other important mistakes by the good ones were not being agressive enough against the Deep Ones and trying to pass every skill test. Finally, Jon and Sully in particular wasted time playing in suboptimal ways. Look at how Jon used his free action or his spell book only one (!) in the game.
BSG 2.0 does seem a lot of fun, very few rules that didn't make sense to a BSG vet. Great videos guys
Social Deduction Cthulhu... Sign me up
love the dropkick murphys referance
Reminds me of the Cones of Dunshire sequel review in Parks & Rec: "Punishingly intricate."
5:41 the pallbearer was basically the Undertaker's manager for a bit the dude was a glorified prop to make the undertaker seem creeper or something but eventually everyone got tired of him so they got rid of him
Sully dying at Brooke saying fish fingers my ass 😂😂😂😂😂😂 so funny
Absolutely love this, been watching along with all of your videos and ive ended up booking to go to Draughts this saturday with some mates you've inspired me to love complex boardgames!
The intro music for Board Game Club is a fresh lick. LOVE IT. I want the full version!
Great episode. Watched as I tried to learn the game. Noticed that at @1:12:15 - you moved the ship but forgot to move the monarch.
Oh my Glob that game venue looks amazing like a dream come true .
I really liked this one. Feels like a simplified Battlestar Galactica, although I can't tell how much of that is just a simpler setting
Great game! Reminds me a bit of Dead Of Winter. A little tighter mechanics.
Would love to see a war game played! Maybe Eclipse or Cthulu Wars.
Name a more iconic duo than Laurie and getting the traitor role so consistently its a meme.
I feel like I'm watching one of Will Wheaton's Tabletop episodes, and I like that.
More cosmic Encounter please.
LAURIE: Christmas is coming up…
Oh poor Jon 😂
Sullivan "I don't get any head" Beau Brown 42:50
