Laurie's introduction: "So you might want to say that it is a film that is a romantic comedy, but also that it involves an animal that is yellow. In this case, clearly that's..." My brain: "The Bee Movie." "Marley and Me." Oh.
I read your comment before I got to that point in the video, still didn't get it, and then still cracked up so hard when they explained it 😂 "They look like M&Ms" ffs 😂😂😂
I said Eminem soooo early. The first time they did the squiggly line + squiggly line, but not because it looked like M + M, but because I thought of it as the concept of him breaking through into rap as a white guy. It was when Dan was saying broken lines, crossing lines, etc.
Ngl, it's like the moment they realized Ken had a pulse, the game instantly descended into insanity. And I absolutely loved it. Chaos all the way through.
Lucky at Cards, Unlucky in love is often used by gamblers or poker players. Lucky At Cards, Unlucky At Love refers to a person who is very successful when it comes to doing business, and yet find it difficult to pursue romantic relationships. It sometimes is used the other way around by someone loosing. There is also a German phrase that is very similar.
is very common expression here in Brazil too, but we use it mostly to cofonrt whoever loses the the game "unlucky ar cards, lucky in love" it meas "you've maybe lost the game, but love may come your way" or someting. we actually use the word "game" instead of "cards"
Holly and Blair, you guys inspire me so so much! As a teenage girl who has a massive interest in the arts you guys remind me on the hard days never to give up because someday I’ll be on stage doing what I love. You guys also have such fun personalities, you make me feel really safe and make me laugh at the same time :) Holly I absolutely adore SIX, it’s my favourite musical and whenever I feel down those are the songs I turn to. Also totally with you about the low dexterity days! I am autistic and often feel outcast but you two make me feel so so included. Keep being awesome ❤️
The "lucky in cards, unlucky in love" one was so interesting, since in German "Pech im Spiel, Glück in der Liebe" (Bad luck in games, good luck in love) is a pretty well-known phrase, but it's exactly the other way around. Based on Terri's reaction, I think it might be the same in French? But I've never heard the English version either
I also heard the German one the other way around: "Glück im Spiel, Pech in der Liebe". It basically depends on if you talk to the winner or the loser...
I said, "Yep, what a concept, I could use a little fuel myself, and we could all use a little chaaaaaange." (The title alone got that song stuck in my head, so I figured I'd curse everyone else with that.)
Me before starting this video: "I think I'm done tracking BGC wins. I don't have anywhere to share it anyway, now that Twitter is dead, and I have more fun watching without focusing on things to track." Laurie in the intro: "People like to track the stats, so this is our gift to you." Oh, no 😅
The 'Lucky at cards, unlucky at love' round was excruciating. As soon as the clues Games + Happy, Heart + Sad came up I had it, and then watching them flounder around and apparently have never heard the saying before? Maddening
The Sandman clue threw me for a loop. I was so certain it is Paul Atreides - a fictional man, from a desert planet who becomes a figurehead of religion in space. It all fits so well.
Coming to you in 2024, in collaboration with Hermes, Daniel J. Layton and No Rolls Barred present... the Flight Pashmina... The softest way to travel. (Yes, I am available for hire)
I love Concept! My favourite way to play is with no teams, and no points. Just me and my partner taking turns to explain/guess! It’s really really fun game! :D
Editing suggestion for next time: put the description of what each symbol means on screen with the symbol or a link in the video description to what each symbol means. Will make following along a lot easier. Great video regardless!
In Belgium the Dutch equivalent of "lucky at cards, unlucky in love" is used VERY frequently It translates to "Geluk in 't spel, is ongeluk in de liefde"
1:10:03 But what was Holly going to say?!? Holly, I see you making that face after they moved to the end without coming back to you from Laurie's interruption. I just wanted to let you know that you were seen (even if not heard)!
Happy Holidays NRB crew! Another really fun game to watch! Watching Ken get so animated and into the game was a joy, given he's often playing deception games with you guys and is simply just so hard to read. I also jumped for joy with the Eminem one, I said that one so early into that word and was excited when it was revealed.
I'm not saying this because I adore Dom and he can do no wrong, but I do believe 8 mile was obvious. Once I saw that it's gotta be something with a car and the number 8, that's what I thought. Good movie.
I feel like games like this are extra hard for Dom, because he thinks differently to the others. He has to take some time to adjust to their wavelengths. ❤
I've been looking forward to this one all week! One of my favorite games played by one of my favorite channels and favorite groups of people! I'm gonna watch the edited version for the goofs, then watch the uncut version because even more goofs!
33:25 Surely it's not possible for Ken to have an odd numbered score and Blair to have an even numbered one? The only time you gain an odd number of points is when you're on the clue giving side, and the two of them always get those as a team, so they have to have same parity score.
It shouldn't have been possible for Ken to have an odd score regardless. Each team had 4 successful words/phrases guessed (4 points), and 2 points are gained from guessing the word. My guess is he simply miscounted, either one too few or one too many.
@@thesunwillneverset probably more likely is he forgot to get his single point for having their word guessed, He received 5 points in the second part of that round so would've had 12 if his first count was correct
We play this game as a co-op game, so we use points to decide how shit we were. We get two rounds for everyone to give clues, easy are 1 point, medium 2 points, hard 3 points. We just try to collectively get a certain amount of points and it's great!
watching Laurie and Dom's round at 51:40 back after knowing the solution and seeing people guess Flight of the Bumblebees and Ronald McDonald is the funniest thing ever
the second to last game i literally had the thought of "unlucky in love" but discarded it because it needed to connect to a phrase where there was a good thing and a bad thing in love
The "Unlucky in games, lucky in love" (as it's known as here) phrase is reasonably known here in Denmark, and Terri knew it, so maybe it's more of a European phrase?
The sandman hurt me and laurie so much. The first thing I said was the sandman when he put it on the time picture. It literally is an hourglass with sand
I was screaming at the screen at the cards/love one, even if I heard the saying other way around in my language (mostly used as a feel-better when someone has terrible luck at the table).
Ken can't have 11 points at 33:20. They've done 4 rounds each, and it's 2 points for a correct guess. His total should be even unless he failed at explaining a concept. But if that's the case then Blair would also have an odd number of points.
Is this a Danish game by any chance? The lucky in cards, unlucky in love, is a very common saying in Denmark, and The Little Matchstick Girl is a Danish tale. I'm so confused as to why those two were so hard to guess.
Laurie's introduction: "So you might want to say that it is a film that is a romantic comedy, but also that it involves an animal that is yellow. In this case, clearly that's..."
My brain: "The Bee Movie."
"Marley and Me."
Oh.
Oh thank GOD I wasn't the only one
I got it. But that's probably because I'm smart
"Ya like jazz?" 😂
Before right now I've never even heared of Marley and Me. 'Of course' seems like a vast overstatement to me.
Marley and me is a romantic comedy?
Dom and Laurie having the most fun repeatedly putting M + M knowing absolutely no-one will get it is hysterical
I read your comment before I got to that point in the video, still didn't get it, and then still cracked up so hard when they explained it 😂 "They look like M&Ms" ffs 😂😂😂
I said Eminem soooo early. The first time they did the squiggly line + squiggly line, but not because it looked like M + M, but because I thought of it as the concept of him breaking through into rap as a white guy. It was when Dan was saying broken lines, crossing lines, etc.

Getting a pulse out of a pro poker player is actually very hard depending on the person.
I'll be calling Fight Club "Nighttime Recreational Conflict" from now on
The First Rule of Board Game Club: please don’t get yourself demonetized with the opening bit! Haha!!
Laurie, Lord of the References
That's the double-edged sword of quoting Bo Burnham haha
It comes as both no surprise and a complete delight that Dom does a stupendous Gollum...
I'd love to see a House Rules version of concept, maybe you just come up with NRB specific clues...
That wavy cross wavy music man round was hilarious! Dom was having a blast with that. Don't know if I've ever seen him giggle quite like that before.

@@gisela_oliveira Same here in Denmark, though not that common here. I mostly know it as "Unlucky in games, lucky in love".
I really hope that Dan's casual use of the word "m'colleague" indicates an in-depth knowledge of "A Bit of Fry and Laurie"
Oh A Bit of Fry and Laurie is AMAZING!!
Tee hee
What a delightful game.
Laurie's energy is simultaneously grumpy grampa and goofy toddler in this. 😅

47:16 Holly definitely said it half a second before Dan
50:44 And here Ken said it almost a microsecond before Blair
We have the benefit of rewinding and replaying....
Dom and Laurence are the definition of team Grown Ups
I said, "Yep, what a concept, I could use a little fuel myself, and we could all use a little chaaaaaange."
(The title alone got that song stuck in my head, so I figured I'd curse everyone else with that.)
Curse you 😂
Holly absolutely said the mask before dan >_>
Edit: ken also clearly spoke before blair! This judgement is all off.
They said Ken started first, but Blair finished first, so that's why Teri gave the point to her.
Nice of Dom to finally show up to the game 33 minutes into the game. 😂
Not unlike the Pitchcar episode! 😂
Me before starting this video: "I think I'm done tracking BGC wins. I don't have anywhere to share it anyway, now that Twitter is dead, and I have more fun watching without focusing on things to track."
Laurie in the intro: "People like to track the stats, so this is our gift to you."
Oh, no 😅
To be fair, the subreddit has a pretty active community....
This is one of my favourite games ever, it doesn't matter who you play with, it's always a blast while still being engaging.
The 'Lucky at cards, unlucky at love' round was excruciating. As soon as the clues Games + Happy, Heart + Sad came up I had it, and then watching them flounder around and apparently have never heard the saying before? Maddening
we even have a quite similar saying in German "lucky at games unlucky at love" I did not know that it ist that similar in English.
What a great crew for this game. Always love to see Ken, and Dan is a delight too.
Yes! Doms at the table 😃 Plonk ya ass down, crack open a tinny, yank open that family bag of crisps and settle in folks, this is guaranteed laffs 🍺😂
1:04:16 In Greek we have the exact reverse expression. Lose in games, win at love
In German as well. 😁
I love this game, and you can totally play it without scoring, it so much fun just to guess
The Sandman clue threw me for a loop. I was so certain it is Paul Atreides - a fictional man, from a desert planet who becomes a figurehead of religion in space. It all fits so well.
I was certain it was Prince of Persia like the video games! A fictional character that uses sand to control time 😅
WOOOOO!!! ITS THE BEST TIME OF THE WEEK!!! ITS BOARD GAME CLUB!!!!!
Coming to you in 2024, in collaboration with Hermes, Daniel J. Layton and No Rolls Barred present... the Flight Pashmina... The softest way to travel. (Yes, I am available for hire)

The little matchstick girl scared me as a kid
Well not scared, but horrified
Love seeing Ken get excited in this game!

I felt like Holly was getting interrupted so much this episode. Definitely upsetting to see
I just realized how much I love ken in this show, he’s a gem
Happy Holidays NRB crew! Another really fun game to watch!

I also jumped for joy with the Eminem one, I said that one so early into that word and was excited when it was revealed.
A whole hour! Thanks for making my week :)
We have the same expression in sweden, almost: Tur i spel, otur i kärlek = Lucky at games, unlucky in love.
I have never been so frustrated as the "Lucky in cards, unlucky in love" round. It is after midnight and I am yelling at my computer screen.
Same. Also with Eminem.
I'm not saying this because I adore Dom and he can do no wrong, but I do believe 8 mile was obvious. Once I saw that it's gotta be something with a car and the number 8, that's what I thought. Good movie.
Do you normally write in pig language by any chance?
I feel like games like this are extra hard for Dom, because he thinks differently to the others. He has to take some time to adjust to their wavelengths. ❤
I do love a good session of boardgameing whilst i munch on crumpets, so thank you for this treat.
Aww Laurie should have mouthed along with Terri when she said they creators names so it looked like it was dubbed in after the fact. 😂
I've been looking forward to this one all week! One of my favorite games played by one of my favorite channels and favorite groups of people! I'm gonna watch the edited version for the goofs, then watch the uncut version because even more goofs!
'Lucky at cards, unlucky at love' - we use this phrase in Hungary. If you play a lot of card games for money.
Blair's
Cool

This is one of my absolute favourite Christmas games. Once everyone’s had a couple drinks this can get out of hand!
DOM DOM DOM DOM DOM DOM
Haha the translation changes it to “judgement”- pretty fitting I’d say!
This was my son's favorite game in middle school.

@@thesunwillneversetmy thoughts exactly. But the game did open up with them talking about how the scoring system is the worst part of the game.
@@rambler209 True, true. It's like Who's Line Is It Anyway?, the points don't matter :)
@@thesunwillneverset probably more likely is he forgot to get his single point for having their word guessed, He received 5 points in the second part of that round so would've had 12 if his first count was correct
"Good Cards. Sad Hearts." I mean, that is it.
this game kind of reminds me of the compass in The Golden Compass.
"Lucky at cards, unlucky in love" how is it possible that they haven't heard that? It's a well known english phrase for me and I'm not even english.
We play this game as a co-op game, so we use points to decide how shit we were. We get two rounds for everyone to give clues, easy are 1 point, medium 2 points, hard 3 points. We just try to collectively get a certain amount of points and it's great!
0:57 I love a good Bo Burnham reference

That last one is pretty common phrase... just saying'. :)
Yay Terri!
the second to last game i literally had the thought of "unlucky in love" but discarded it because it needed to connect to a phrase where there was a good thing and a bad thing in love
I LOVE THIS GAME!!! I'm so excited to see you guys play it!
I shouted Desperate Housewives at basically the same time and I feel so accomplished right now.
Love the vids! You guys should play Clue Conspiracy
THAT NEW INTRO GOES HARD
Props to Laurie showing up to host a game based on specific concepts while dressed in greige.
44:47 that cracked me up so much, Blaire and Ken are such a good duo
This would be a great No Holds Board game
Don't know what they were talking about with that word "gravity" there, sounded a bit like mavity maybe?
Was that a Bo Burnham reference in the beginning? I love it!
It cheers up my week seeing NRB
I love you guys! Thanks again!
The "Unlucky in games, lucky in love" (as it's known as here) phrase is reasonably known here in Denmark, and Terri knew it, so maybe it's more of a European phrase?
romantic comedy that features a yellow animal so the Bee movie
cleopatra comin at ya horrible histories
I got 10 points the first game. I got 6 points the second game. I counted 2 points when I guessed before them.
The sandman hurt me and laurie so much. The first thing I said was the sandman when he put it on the time picture. It literally is an hourglass with sand
I may need to get this game for all the lulz it seems to bring.
37:30 all i could think was 9/11. Inside Job, Down, Steel.
18:54 I was *screaming* sandman at my phone
I have missed Ken so much!
When will we get to see more of Tom????
Love that guy
Tom is a keen GM so I expect we'll be seeing a lot more of him in the Chaotic Neutral era.
22nd December over on Chaotic Neutral 😊
Blair seems to have fallen back into the buttons persona, considering the amount of Benjamin Button guesses
Why did I think of the Bee Movie for Laurie's Marley & Me clues 💀
IT'S TIME TO GET ON BOARD!!! 😍
3:40 blud I was guessing the Lion King or the Bee Movie
I'd love to see you guys try Challengers ! A really fun game 😁
Isn't "white as snow" from Snow White?
Or have I imagined "skin as white as snow, hair as black as coal(?), lips as red as blood"?
"Where do you se yourself in 10 years?"
Me: 55:44
I was screaming at the screen at the cards/love one, even if I heard the saying other way around in my language (mostly used as a feel-better when someone has terrible luck at the table).
I love Concept, such a fun video!
Dom: *Harry Potter and the Quiditch Cup*
😭😭😭
Ken can't have 11 points at 33:20.
They've done 4 rounds each, and it's 2 points for a correct guess. His total should be even unless he failed at explaining a concept. But if that's the case then Blair would also have an odd number of points.
Is this a Danish game by any chance? The lucky in cards, unlucky in love, is a very common saying in Denmark, and The Little Matchstick Girl is a Danish tale. I'm so confused as to why those two were so hard to guess.
THE GRID MENTIONED!!!! PRAISE BE THE GRID. ####
We need this on No Holds Board or with a random number generator to pick the words. This was such a fun game to see played!
Why did I think of Laurie's 'romantic movie about an animal that is yellow' as The Bee Movie of all things?
Don’t worry I got that Bo Burnham reference, Laurie :)
Holly’s face after that quick hard concept guess was so “What is this feeling, so sudden and new?”😂
Petition for John to have a crown in the intro for Lord of the Board!!!!! (Day 2 of asking this)
Eminem was very good - I thought it was Meatloaf for some strange reason
I was so fixed on Kurt Cobain, music man, Sappy, the broken smile of the Nirvana icon... But the cars threw me off
I was caught on David Bowie for a bit, with the lightning bolt across his face.
the "lucky in cards unlucky in love" thing is a phrase in german, too. maybe it's a translation issue?
Spoilers:
When I realized what they were doing with 8 Mile I screamed.
