- This month on Overboard, Polygon's board game let's play show, we're playing THE NIGHT CAGE. No, not the Nic Cage. The NIGHT CAGE. It's a tense, cooperative game where the players are trapped in a maze and trying to escape. It's only possible to win if every player finds a key and gathers together in front of the maze's gate's... and many dangers hide in the darkness. Join Polygon's XTina GG, Susana Polo, Patrick Gill, and Simone de Rochefort as they navigate The Night Cage.

This doesn't get said enough, but really appreciate the closed captions.
Thank you for pointing that out. I have audio processing issues, and without this comment I would not have realized that the narration was supposed to be human language.
(Simone makes goofy noises)
Especially with that extremely hard to understand voice filter in the beginning. A really bad choice all around.
@@stevebusiness965 yeah, i normally have the captions on for the instructions to help me actually process their meaning, but this time it was essential
@SeventhEve how are you upset about a spooky voice filter. Get over yourself
"you know that i would lie down and die," simone says. "i would let this hole open up underneath me, and i would not come out." "just like you did in the paris catacombs," susana replies, and NO ONE CONTRADICTS HER. SIMONE DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL US
Simone is a ghost
Tina dealt with so much monsters alone until she found the others at the end; Susana got the chance to fully analyze the monster which gave her the advantage to outsmart them; Pat powered through the entire catacomb and taking advantage of how the catacombs work; and Simone is the one who jumped into a hole, ran, and snagged the key as the lights goes out . I love how so much personality can be pulled out from games like these.
Big fan of the ‘obligatory pat loses all hope moment’
Despite all my rage, I am still just a Pat in a cage...
"Non-boonary" really got me.
Haha I know right! I had to rewind to re-listen to be sure I had heard him properly haha
Big fan of you all! LOVE to see this masterpiece getting more love!
Hey, I learned about this game from your video, so seeing it featured here was a delightful surprise, and it's good to see you here too!
I, also, learned about this game from you!
I bought this game solely off of Spice's video and it almost immediately became my wife's favorite game that we own
I was wondering why I'd heard of this game before, and yeah it was because of you, thank you!!
I recently got this game and noticed a rule they possibly just overlooked, but when staying and discarding a tile, if it’s a monster it’s suppose to replace a tile around them
That is true today I got it and my rule following was triggering me that they weren't following it lol.
21:53, I think the group accidentally cheated here. Monster in the same row as Pat here should have had line of sight (wraps around edge of board), and thus attacked and hit Tina when Pat moved.
it does seem like a game where fibs like that are bound to happen, but I think you're right
yeah you right, that should have hit tina because the wax eater saw movement
Thankfully, if I'm understanding this correctly, with how they played, that extra hit wouldn't have constituted a loss since a wax eater's un-blocked attack deals 3 dmg and they had 5 tiles (including the one tina was standing on) at the very end to sacrifice for final flickers. All of which were preserved by burning a nerve to move two spaces giving the table with at least a 2 tile buffer.
Very keen eye though!
Very well spotted.
There are a lot of things they missed. You are supposed to take your turn after you fall.
23:00 I was thinking about this rule the whole time to prevent 1 player from controlling the actions of the other players. Glad to hear that rule variant exists. You can lesson the difficulty of the rule variant a bit and instead of being adjacent to the player, as long as you can see the player, you can communicate with them.
Just want to applaud the team for their incredible restraint re: hole jokes
Thank you for having the captions available right away!
I think if they weren't in a giant dark ever-changing labyrinth, the Wax Eaters would probably make great pets.
"Hole friends!"
That's what my fwb and I will call each other from now on 😂
I found this game last year. We had a lot of fun. It’s amazing how tense you can get near the end! And the monsters are terrifying!
How tense can a game be when you are just drawing random tiles?
@@GeorgiosD90Someone without imagination I see 😂
@@theannualantagonist5930 A boardgame requires mechanics not just imagination. Lol
@@GeorgiosD90 Someone doesn’t have imagination and an idea of mechanics.
this is absolutely my favorite overboard episode along with one night werewolf
Simone and Pat bringing huge Gomez and Morticia Adams energy to this game. love to see it, and love a creepy game for creepy season!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who immediately called it The Nic Cage
I was genuinely on the edge of my seat the whole video
Really enjoyed this. Great format, was clear and showed interactions between you as well as the board. Good text pip ups. Made the game look really fun and exciting. Good explanations and banter etc. really enjoyed.. subscribed.
Yay, Susana! I miss her comics show. Nice to see her again.
this has such a satisfying ending
This is such a creative idea for a game! However, actually being in the Night Cage is the most nightmarish thing imaginable. Especially when the players described it as a "dirty hole" that they're "crawling around" in, i felt a little sick thinking about it. Great game though- love a good horror concept.
I love when they cooperate
Thank goodness for closed captions.
Great video, I need to get my friends to play this with me!
watched a Spice8Rack video on this a while ago, looked really cool.
I am just extremely glad that I am not the only one who saw it as the Nic Cage first
I love this game, I love this series, you guys rule.
it literally felt like i was playing the damn game with you :D good job team, we did it!
“ and non boo-nary people” how can you not love this account
Susana has such a beautiful voice!!!! also the soundtrack on this video is very good
Always love a new Overboard episode, and of one of my favorite games! Just a heads up, when you disard a monster card, you in fact do NOT discard it. It must go on a space that is lit by that player
Also, the omens that reveal the durge are part of the advanced game, as well as 3 other monster types! I highly recommend that version of the game. Although they mention 3 omens, which is not part of the version I own, so they might have changed that recently.
Edit: I should finish the episode for commenting
"hole friends" is iconic
That was amazing! I thought it was going to be a pretty boring game at first, but after watching how everything played out, it was very intense and the "gaming the rules" aspect that I thought was going to make the game too easy turned out to be a double-edged sword. Well done playing and kudos to the game designer!
I miss Jenna
The tension was killing me! I died and became an eldritch hole, sorry for complicating the game for you guys.
Nice shirt, Pat! RIP Riley
Patt was the one character in a horror movie that was doing ALL the work while his friends stumbled around blindly and nearly got him killed 😂
Boys and ghouls... and nonboonary people
I love it
I remember this game from Spice8Rack!
You made me clap in real life. Great job!
I appreciate the atmosphere, but I genuinely can’t understand the rules explanation.
Thankfully the captions are accurate rather than auto generated
One of my favorite games! And Smirk and Dagger makes other really cool games.
I love this game!
I read about this one and it freaked me right out. I am frightened by the opportunity to see this. And I don't watch horror genre films.
Let's do this.
Nice job searching for Nic Cage's many keys
Great job
MISSED SUSANA SO MUCH!!!
So real for the Power Trip tee
This is such a good game.
This was great, would love to see yall play MÖRK BORG 🥺
Will be good if the camera focus only up the board. Because every piece that u guys interact will be visible for us. Great video 🥰
help !!!! im so helled up in the nightcage rn !! these vtubers traped me in this hell cage of bad night ! i need a lemon aide or a key !!!! help me from nighthell im caged up like this !
On God on God! Straight up! (It's lit!)
Feel like this is a good time to point out that Clayton rhymes with Satan...
At around twenty minutes when he grabs the second key he should have triggered the monster
good catch
Overboard...
After dark.
Edit: I'm using that phrase correctly, right?
Oh yeah 100% accurate usage
I want to play this game... BUT MAKE IT VR
Should play this game only using candlelight 😈
Lovely game! BUT, you cheated! XD When you stay, to gain a nerve, IF that tile you then discard is in fact a monster tile, then immediately put that monster tile next to you. It's not an easy game for sure.
Simone🖤
The maze is a torus
If our intrepid heroes think Wax Eaters are fun, wait till they encounter the Torus Demon ;D
I poked around to see how long out of print this game must be by now, turns out it's a pre-order which must be a series first
which is interesting because i had bought this game at a barnes and noble, maybe pre-order is a loose term?
The second result for me when I looked it up it talked about the award it won in 2019... you might wanna refine your search skills a little lmao
I think you might be seeing stuff about the expansion! The base game has been out for a few years, but the Kickstarter for the expansion recently ended. I think you might be able to do late backing soon? If not it will be in retail next year. 🕯️
Replying again, sorry. I went to the publisher’s website and, you’re right, it does say pre-order - I think it’s because they sold out of their current stock! It looks like Barnes & Noble still has some copies, though.
Yippee!!
8:25 : you can not discard monsters when staying
Okay, but what about the knife cage?
Almost didn't watch it because the intro. Gg
HALLOWEEN OVERBOARD !!!!!
Is Overboard dead? Apparently it's been 6 months and no new videos..... RIP Polygon
Im unsure about this but I think this game shouldve been lost at the end.
But out of excitement they mightve forgotten this.
Im not exactly sure but Tina, Pat and Susana were all hit by the Wax eater as such those three wouldve been lights out. As such they wouldnt have had enough tiles to exit to the gate with Final Flicker
Are there music credits?
dang, it dark in here...
I think....You guys look good in black.
This world is a doughnut
The lines not lining up erks my osd
No affiliate link to buy the game so I can support this series?
Dude the voice at the beginning is impossible to understand
I wish they hadn't gone for the inaudible aesthetic for explaining the rules.
16:10
oooooo
Man that effect on the narrator made it... unintelligible
why play the boring mode :C
That’s a lot of likes for 30k views no?
Another video with a botched game. Yes I’m being critical, but there were a few rules that were missed here.
1. Anytime that any players “spawns in” (as y’all put it) after jumping into a hole, they actually still have their move. So it’s spawn in, light tiles, and then take your regular move. Both times you had players just spawn in and they didn’t take their move as they should.
2. Anytime you choose to stay, you must discard a tile. AND if that tile is a monster, it replaces an already lit tile around the player that stayed. 2 monsters were discarded this way in this game.
3. 21:54 when pat moved he would have triggered the monster that would have hit Tina here.
Aside from all that… I REALLY enjoyed the cooperation and the teamwork and communication you guys had in this game. The thought processes and the planning was great! (Side note: don’t ever play the difficult way of not talking to each other unless you are next to each other in the cage. It’s hard and it really takes the fun out of it, because the banter is everything!)
All in all, aside from missed rules, the win is deserved. Even tho rules were missed, it was at the very least a consistent set of rules that you guys played by.
What a fantastic game idea!
This movie was basically one player playing for everyone. So lame.
Why is the guy the only one who know the rules of the game?
Maybe everyone should understand the rules bevor you play.
