      "No, no, it's fine, see, it's completely fine. Adam's promised me that I could have this lovely little teashop tile so I could open my teashop, and everything's gonna be... a-okay..." "And the pineapple, Sullivan?" "Oh, yes, that, well, that's because I got a little hungry while we were negotiating." "We've been evicted, Sullivan." "Oh, dear." "Sock Puppet Sullivan and I are moving to Paris."

    Adam's "Okay, don't shoot me," demeanor in the beginning is priceless. I would never put Settlers of Catan and Monopoly in the same category, but I won't hang him for it. Hell, it hurt putting those two games in the same sentence.

    Had some inlaws who loved to play Catan and I was so-so about it but I knew they (and I) really liked the trading aspect of Catan so I got this game and we played it. They were hooked immediately and now it's sort of replaced Catan. It really is a masterpiece.

    Even though my opinion of Chinatowns isn't the highest (mainly because I've actually had to go to Binondo a bunch of times and it's always a freaking nightmare trying to get a ride out of there), just like the rest of the vids in the series, Adam's explanation of the game actually got me interested in it. It makes me wish I had the funds and friends to properly get into board gaming.

  • @Cassapphic
    @Cassapphic 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    recently discovered this channel and watching all these videos has revived a lot of my interest in board games that slowly waned from playing the same couple games with my dad and sister, I don't have many friends who are into board games so they're usually who I play with (my mum sometimes too but she enjoys much simpler games than the rest of my family does) and gosh I want to play all of them they all sound so interesting but either they're clearly designed for bigger groups or I just talk myself out of buying them because expensive and also because the last board game I bought myself for us to play was pandemic, and that didn't go great, we played like 3 games and myself and my sister were really getting into it, the planning and talking things through with each other about what we could do and where we could go and making sure everyone was on the same wavelength while my dad would frustratedly try to hurry us up which became more of a pain to play with than it was worth.

    This might be a SUPER WEIRD comment, but...
    I always look at the No Rolls Barred crew and I think "what a good looking, charismatic group of people who enjoy board games and have a good time playing them! I wish my friends and I were that good looking and charismatic and had the same strong gaming experience." But then whenever they do the severed head graphics I think "egads, these people don't look good as severed heads!" Don't remove your heads, I guess.
