I want to thank-you for this series. My board game collection began as games bought to play with nieces and nephews when they came into town...mostly "retail" games. As the kids grew older, I went in search of more substantial games and came upon this channel. I had no idea the world of board games was so vast...CLUELESS. I have now watched every episode and purchased 33 of the games you showcased. Thanks for opening my eyes to this great addiction, showing me games I know I will like as well as games which might not be my style, and doing it in a manner that makes it feel as if I were sitting at the table with you.
It's like a spiritual successor to some "craazy" 80s roll and move from MB Games! Crossed with Sorry! But made very much for 2018, very light but clearly fun for families.
Just now watching this video and learning about the game and it’s expansions (1/27/21) and at 28:04 Rusty rolls a die and hits a sarcophagus and Dave says, “the mummy’s curse”, without checking the end of the video, when this video came out, when the Mummy’s Curse expansion came out, it seems like Dave spoke the expansion into existence lol! Perhaps I’ll see at the end etc the ex was already out but fun to think about.
Update, at the end of the video Rusty says there are expansions but doesn’t specifically say the Mummy’s Curse and nobody else says it so maybe it was announced but not named, idk Dave still gets credit in my book.
Not sure if it is happening for anyone else but at around 1:08:38 it starts to hang and will not finish playing. I did try another video and come back, but the same thing occurred. PS... I love your Game Night videos!
BoardGameGeekTV I don’t think so - at 1h 3min and the scoring of scarabs, Dave distinctly looks at only one of his tiles and then says “two for me” after speaking of 3 for blue (i.e. Nikki).
So this game has the same mechanic that drives people learning Bohnanza crazy -- Don't rearrange your cards! It's such a hard habit for card gamers to break.
as Nikki said, "chutes and Ladders"- This game is devoid of gameplay. Listening to everyone, especially Dave and Lincoln constantly repeat words and stupid puns is all the evidence I need that this game is terrible, not to mention painful to listen to.
If that''s all the evidence you need that a game is terrible, then don't play ANY game that is played through on "GameNight!". They constantly repeat words and make "stupid" puns on every episode. It's their thing. And for that matter, it's MY thing. That's why I love watching these. The interactions among a group of friends is why I've been an inveterate boardgamer for 50 years. As for the gameplay, the planning needed engendered by the getting around the preprogramming of the cards so that you always have a correct option available to you, and the foresight to see how things might change on the board as a result of your opponents' play offers quite a bit of gameplay. Sorry if you don't like it.
Without being to watch any players' hand of card negates you the ability to see how each player had to craft their strategy of what card to use to unlock the use of other cards. Had you seen even ONE hand of cards, you would be able to understand the strategy much more. You don't just play a card to play a card. You play a card in efforts to create a string of useful moves brought forth by cycling your options in a thought out order. It might be over your head.

Rusty did such a good job of explaining this. Great game, immediately went to play over at BGA.

You guys is the only show on TH-cam where i'm checking very often to see if a new episode is available. Love you
Oh yeah!
Agreed!
yay, nice episode! :-) Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed it.
I love that you were all dressed like adventurers! :-)
Lincoln and Dave getting some good riffs in during the rules explanation. I love it.
Nice adventurer "costumes" to match the lore of the game :D
Wait, Dave can sit on THAT side of the table?!
I feel a disturbance in the force.

“I can’t do anything a want to do.... this game is awesome” - love it 😍
Yeah, i't kind of the opposite of awesome to me... :\
How did you convince Richard Dreyfus to join the group?
I love how you guys are dressed for adventure!
nice, i wanted some gameplay for this so long! yaay!
Loved this game guys! Fun to watch.

This was filmed well before the announcement of the expansion so I would say you are correct!-Lincoln
Love having the mix of friends on Gamenight. But is Aaron coming back to play some games anytime soon?
He will soon but he was unable to participate in the SdJ shows so far.
Lincoln Damerst
Thank you Lincoln. Love the chemistry that all of you have. You have a fan for life. Be safe and continue to do amazing things.
LindyBeige would love this episode

Nikki's necklace is great!
Ian Noble ALL about Nikki is great ^^
It's ironic that Mark is the only dad on the show, but he is also the only one who refrains from dad jokes.
Hey guys, where did you get those nice poster we can see in the intro?
BGG Geek Store

I think yellow didn't count one of his scarabs. At the end one of them is still face down.
Did Dave forget to score a scarab at the end? It looked like he had another one in front of him.
BoardGameGeekTV I don’t think so - at 1h 3min and the scoring of scarabs, Dave distinctly looks at only one of his tiles and then says “two for me” after speaking of 3 for blue (i.e. Nikki).
He only flips over one of his. The one worth 2 points. The other remained face down and unscored.
I thought each tile set could only use 1 wild tile. Only affects lincolns score if so.
Rusty said in the instructions that you could use up to two per set.
That is correct. I think I got this wrong the first time I played it as well (only allowing one per set).
So this game has the same mechanic that drives people learning Bohnanza crazy -- Don't rearrange your cards! It's such a hard habit for card gamers to break.
Blue dragons don't sound very Egyptian to me. It should have been blue crocodiles.
Did Rusty deliberately dress like Indiana Jones for this episode?
they all did :D
2:45 That's gotta be trolling.
17 minutes is quite a long rules explanation for an SdJ nominee. This looks fun, but for non-gamer families, it won’t have mass appeal.
I can teach the game and get people playing in around 5 minutes.
74th!
(Woo-hoo!)

I have watched every episode of gamenight and this is one of the most obnoxious I have seen.
Then don't watch..
There is much more to the game when you play than might appear from watching or reading the rules.
Without being to watch any players' hand of card negates you the ability to see how each player had to craft their strategy of what card to use to unlock the use of other cards.
