I can imagine Sully and Brooke going to Vegas and she constantly has to drag him away from the tables. "How much have you lost, Sullivan?" "Ah, yes, well, you see I've only just- ONLY JUST- lost a little bitta money. Just a little bitta money, no big deal... a-okay." "How much?" "About 3700 pounds. BUT, but, but! It's okay because I've got a system!" "A system." "Yeah, Adam and Laurie taught me! Whenever you play Blackjack, you only bet when you've got reds!" "I'm leaving you." "Entirely fair."
The NRB team has expanded a lot over the past year. These 4 here and Jon Gracey are who I consider the original NRB crew. I started tuning in every week because I love these 4 people (and Jon) so much! ❤️ I do love literally every new person who has joined this year as well, but something special about this group. Glad to see just them back together
Yeah these 4, Jon and Tom feel like the 'core' NRB group but everyone else that plays is also great. I never have any doubts that I'll have a good time when clicking on a video because pretty much every combination of people is entertaining.
38:00 the "BEST FRIENDS" bit/song. Time stamping this so i can rewatch it another 10 times or so ❤ I'd say this song is up there with "ONE OF THESE GAMES" ..... Looking forward to a NRB album 🥰
This just further cements my theory of Adam being the Wil Wheaton of NRB, instead of Tabletop (Geek & Sundry). He's the host, he almost always loses, has either the greatest or worst luck, and now one of the few games he HAS won was one that wil also won, Lords of Vegas. It all adds up.
One thing we do different as a house rule is to shuffle the game over card into the bottom pile. it adds a little more uncertainty as to when the game will end.
No Rolls Barred release days are always the highlight of any week. Lords of Vegas muscling in on Skull's territory is very thematic. All the hostile takeovers, turf wars and risky gambles are a feast for Blair, Adam, Sully and Laurie as a table group. We all win with the jackpot of funny voices and characters! I've seen Skull playthroughs but not Lords of Vegas, so thanks for the look-see, ya mugs! Yeahhh. The Patron UNCUT version is even more fun, so those of you not onboard are missing out on all the bonus silliness. Cheers, NRB!
Its always interesting finding the Thumnail in the vid. . . I kept thinking what would make Blair do the double birds 🖕🖕 then 1:09:22 happened and I now see how 1:17:23 came to be, well done everyone
That was a perfect revenge moment. I always think of when Blair or Sully gets targeted in games as the " Kicking a puppy" moment , I mean come on, who would ruin their games, they're so adorable. So when Blair won the roll off that was just.... _chef's kiss_
Should be a hell of an episode; if the playthrough of Chinatown is any indication. Thought it was Skull today; but no matter - should be a fun episode! Get on board!
The funniest she's ever been is when she went psycho in the LOTB loss. Otherwise, (i'm going to make myself unpopular here) i think blair's the least interesting member on the channel by far
@@McBawse it was an opinion, not an insult - and i said it because i'd prefer to see less Blair on the channel. (I'm not some troll criticizing random people or channels i see on the youtube, i've been a fan of the channel since it began.)
It’s SO weird seeing Lords Of Vegas played without anyone negotiating deals. I’ve never picked up Chinatown because in my group LoV plays so similarly to it.
Number of games Adam won : 3 Number of games Adam lost : 18 Games played total in 2022 : 23 Number of times Adam WILLINGLY chooses yellow: 4 Number of games Adam wins BotC: 3 Number of games Adam's wins in other series: 3 Number of games Sully has broken his resolution to always win: 17 Number of games Laurie has won BotC in 2022: 0 Has Adam played Diplomacy with Dom yet? Yes: No: ✓
Sidenote: Sully: "Told ya not to come round here, we run this part of Vegas and we're kids!" I see the Lollipop Guild have branched out to Gambling, great stuff 👍
That was actually a fun and enticing watch! It was featured on multiple of your lists but It always seemed more complicated than it actually is. might consider getting it now
Since it has an impact on the game… there are only supposed to be nine of each tile color available. The box includes a spare for each. This would have impacted Adam and Laurie in the late game.
my favorite moment from this video is undoubtedly 16:05 : adam: i want to be happy when sullivan's happy! sully: we all want to be happy when we're happy together! hello! adam: hello my boyfriend! 🥰 sully: hello my boyfriend! laurie: i want sullivan to die 😡 adam: oh! cool! and blair, how do you feel about sullivan? blair: he's alright
ADAM: “It comes up infrequently but you can trade in this game…” ME, screaming at the screen: Why are you playing if you aren’t going to trade four times every turn!?! Also, when playing this game, don’t fight the person clockwise from you.
Hypothesis: Jon was back for Skulls but once again only played Skulls every round and got kicked out for the episode. (I miss Jon, I relate to tilting all the way to the moon)
@@RenewedRS I don't believe so. He had his wedding then a Honeymoon in Australia where he had to stay due to covid. He recently got back home according to his twitter.
@@jimbobjones9330 LOL. It's too late, between both versions of Nemesis on my end, and my girlfriend going all-in on backing Blood on the Clocktower, the damage is done.
@@OrcDragon65 I will neither confirm nor deny, but especially not deny, that I bought Nemesis because of them. Lords of Vegas is a FANTASTIC game, and I recommend anyone should buy it (I've had it a long, long time). But, after some mess around their expansion kickstarter (not actually their fault -- for some reason, two companies said they had copies, only to find out both companies were talking about the same copies of the base game), they're now in the process of figuring out how to reprint the base game (which was originally owned by Mayfair) So the good news is, you can wait on Lords of Vegas. Bad news is, it's a fantastic game that I highly recommend buying when it finally comes out :-)
Some might think Astatine is the rarest thing on earth but we can say for sure it's Adam winning at BGC! Lightnings chould strike you more than Adam's wins at this point.
The immediate reaction of Adam when Blaire said 'I don't want to be connected to you' was absolutely golden. Also, Laurie just so calmly going to ruin Sully and Blaire was AMAZING. Yes.
It only took lessening the player count for Adam to finally win a game solo. As much as I’m a Blampied fan, those 5 games of Monopoly are an inevitability.
You guys did a list "10 games that are like Cluedo but better". You should do the same with Monopoly. I guess that China Town and Lords of Vegas will be high on that list.
47:55 I thought it odd you went so long without making a single deal! Negotiation is so crucial to making this game fun in my books, but you are all coming to terms with the rules in the video, so it makes sense you'd keep it back... I do still find it odd it took so long for someone to sprawl when that's so central to how I play the game. At least when it did happen it was worth the wait. Also you're only meant to have 9 of each casino Colour. The blank ones are meant as spare, but are also used in the underworld expansion. This obviously changes a lot with all those greens and leads to negotiations as you bribe someone to change their casino so you can renovate yours to take over a neighboring casino, but ya know, it'll cost you a lot... this is made more reasonable with the UP! expansion as you have another way to do it so people are more incentivised to give you a reasonable price though, so it is more likely to work out there.
I wonder if Adam will see he could remodel that 1 green casino to free up the green tile and then remodel his silver casino to have a roll off with Laurie to take over a 4 green casino...

Congrats on the win 🥇 Adam! You’re allowed to be the worst winner when they are all usually celebrating your losses! :)
The calmness with which Laurie turns on everyone is terrifying
this could apply to a lot of videos
for a second I read this as "the calmness with which laurie turns everyone on is terrifying."
i think the word you’re looking for is hot😅😅
I can imagine Sully and Brooke going to Vegas and she constantly has to drag him away from the tables.
"How much have you lost, Sullivan?"
"Ah, yes, well, you see I've only just- ONLY JUST- lost a little bitta money. Just a little bitta money, no big deal... a-okay."

"About 3700 pounds. BUT, but, but! It's okay because I've got a system!"
"A system."
"Yeah, Adam and Laurie taught me! Whenever you play Blackjack, you only bet when you've got reds!"
"I'm leaving you."
"Entirely fair."
Loved that 🤣👍
Very good impression of how Sully speaks!
is it weird i started chuckling at "Ah, yes, well" while hearing (and somehow seeing his face and hands) him in my head saying that?
Laurie's "Empire on F, in Green" move being immediately followed by a green payout card... that was magnificent!!!
I love the idea that Sully's casino lord character is just two kids in a trenchcoat. x)
and the lower one's Bushy
Laurie constantly looking like he wants to put everyone in a hole in the desert is hilarious
Not 2 minutes after saying how terrible his luck is, Laurie gets snake eyes😭 what a tragic life to live bud.

Adam calling Blair a "Hentai Goblin" will never not be funny to me
When was that?
Laurie's swipe of power by building the mega-casino was the top gameplay moment of the week for me!
I love how you can see the exact moment laurie remembers he hates sully at 58:27 ff
Did Adam call Blair a “Hentai Goblin”!? 🤣🤣
Lauries huge turn might be the funniest things ive seen in such a long time
Glad to see Blair back! She's always delightful!

Surely he cheated! Adam does not win board games! That's a ridiculous thought!
For a second I thought I had missed Skull! Let’s go casino bosses!
Same lol
Easily overlooked rule, which can have wide impacts, there are only 9 tiles per color. The tenth tile is just a color marker piece.
Sidenote:
Sully: "Told ya not to come round here, we run this part of Vegas and we're kids!"
I see the Lollipop Guild have branched out to Gambling, great stuff 👍
Watching 7:51 after a marathon of the CBW series REALLY puts this statement into context. Sorry for your many, many losses Laurie…
How funny. This video comes out the day I am flying to Las Vegas for vacation. Awesome!
My favorite episode so far! The game, the outcome, awesome!
That was actually a fun and enticing watch! It was featured on multiple of your lists but It always seemed more complicated than it actually is. might consider getting it now
Very Happy you guys are playing this, As there are not a lot of Useful Guides for this Game Online.
19:38 Twas at this moment that Sully knew... he screwed up.
EDIT: Also, Adam spitefully calling Blair a hentai goblin is spot on branding.
Can’t wait for the reprint of this so I can actually get my hands on it
Love it guys great episode x
Breakout into "Best Friends" was great harmony
Since it has an impact on the game… there are only supposed to be nine of each tile color available. The box includes a spare for each. This would have impacted Adam and Laurie in the late game.
I’m only 20 minutes into this video and I love this so much already
I've always enjoyed playing this one, and I'm also a fan of the Paradise pun on the box :)
Really Adam made quite the “fuss” at the end.
sully feeling Compelled to sing along with adam's winner song is very sully.
Revenge is a dish best served Blair, as the famous saying goes.
my favorite moment from this video is undoubtedly 16:05 :
adam: i want to be happy when sullivan's happy!
sully: we all want to be happy when we're happy together! hello!
adam: hello my boyfriend! 🥰
sully: hello my boyfriend!
laurie: i want sullivan to die 😡
adam: oh! cool! and blair, how do you feel about sullivan?
blair: he's alright
absolute nonsense but the way laurie goes "i want sullivan to die" right after adam and sully are being lovey-dovey is hilarious
Lucky this was uploaded on my birthday gonna watch it now
Great game and fantastic players. I always look forward to these videos.
Laurie, with your frustration at rolling dice, I heartily recommend that you never play Too Many Bones!!! Your head may explode! 😊
First Adam becomes double jampion and now he's actually won a board game. What a week!
Well, Skull can wait. Lords of Vegas it is then!!!
Didn't they already play skull?
@@RenewedRS no was meant to be this week (according to the end of the last episode)
Laurie with an absolutely baller move.
One of my favorite games! Great video!
We need more cosmic encounter.
Forget Siegfried and Roy... It's the magical duo of Sullivan and Blair!
I like to play the game of how many quick Simpsons references Adam can make in each video, the average is usually about 5 👍😂
ADAM: “It comes up infrequently but you can trade in this game…”
ME, screaming at the screen: Why are you playing if you aren’t going to trade four times every turn!?!
Also, when playing this game, don’t fight the person clockwise from you.
Very under talked about board game! My friends and I love this every time it hits the table. We call it, Upgraded Monopoly
Woo hoo! Time for Board Game Club!
Hypothesis: Jon was back for Skulls but once again only played Skulls every round and got kicked out for the episode.
(I miss Jon, I relate to tilting all the way to the moon)
@@RenewedRS No, he has been in Australia for a while.
@@RenewedRS I don't believe so. He had his wedding then a Honeymoon in Australia where he had to stay due to covid. He recently got back home according to his twitter.
I hope he attended at least one crowded house concert
Consider this a standing invite for Sully to come here to Las Vegas.
I love the nrb songs
9:00 Adam and Blair both roll 9, but Adam said 10, so he went first. He cheated her again!
But it was bad for him to go first anyway
This game needed Brooke, offering someone 5 mil for their megaplex.
How have non of them been to Vegas…..? ITS VEGAS BABY!!
Woohoo board game club , but i was expecting skull 😳
We need 4 of them in every video.
Such a great game. How in the world did they not use poker chips as currency?!
1:09:05 = Ultimate Pit Boss Behavior begins
I hope🙏 the gang plays this one again this year.
Adam, I feel like you could do an incredible Richard Ayoade impression
38:27 Blair is just the cutest
at 36:28 blair rolled a 2 that should have pay out dubble didn't it
I came to the comments to see this. Adam cheating against Blair yet again!
@@11th-lemon 100% the glare from the lights is hiding 2 pips. I would apologize to Adam but ... it's Adam.
Love it!

Adam is a great heel 😂
Word got 'round that sully's casinos were paying out big time...
and then he tightened the noose.
Just started watching this, but am already accurelybaware it’ll cost me money.
It only took lessening the player count for Adam to finally win a game solo. As much as I’m a Blampied fan, those 5 games of Monopoly are an inevitability.
Please tell me NRB will be making a Vegas, BayBay! shirt with Sully's crying face on it lol
You guys did a list "10 games that are like Cluedo but better". You should do the same with Monopoly. I guess that China Town and Lords of Vegas will be high on that list.
Is Skull not being played this week?
Always love when that theme song plays. Anyone know what it's called? Or maybe NRB made it themselves. Either way, instant classic.

We need a sully & Laurie best friends music video.
When Adam wins it feels like we all lose.
36:35 isn't those snake eyes supposed to pay double?
1:24:40 WHAAAAAT A RUUUSH
I want a copy of this game 😩
"You will never run this channel" 😬
lol
1:10:30 ISn't laurie supposed to roll Both the green dices? not just one?
I wonder if Adam will see he could remodel that 1 green casino to free up the green tile and then remodel his silver casino to have a roll off with Laurie to take over a 4 green casino...
He only bloody did! I think half on accident!
Definitely went to investigate this claim of Blair being a "hentai goblin," but if that's her handle somewhere I didn't find it.
Sully Forever.
19 more to go, Adam. 😎
Blair looks smaller than I remember.....
.......wait
So she's better.
