Grandpa always told stories of how he opened up that game of monopoly in the camps and found a file, compass, and a WWE title belt to use for his escape. It was really inspiring.
My grandpa used to tell stories of opening the monopoly set in the POW camps, and then they beat the crap out of each other because Jenkins wouldn't trade away the last train station.
Adam looks sooo good in that uniform! HOW does this man NOT have a tv show or something? His side jokes and fluid storytelling (like "we're taling about the war" "Psyche, we're talking about the game actually!"). Feckin' brill.
This video was absolutely fantastic and interesting. I love history, specifically WWII history, and this is a story that I've never heard. I love this channel. We have already added 4 games to our boardgame collection based off the videos and we got our son to play several games with us for the first time at his birthday party this past weekend. Thanks for the awesome content!
Escape from Colditz references, cheap Cena gags, and managing to successfully sh*t all over Monopoly while praising it at the same time. God, I love this channel.
Fantastic video well done! Great timing as well as this year does mark the 65th anniversary of the end of WWII. Everyone should share the shit out of this video, it deserves so many views!
3:09 speaking of Nintendo They were in the business of playing card manufacturing back then. I wonder if the Japanese government had them do anything war related in terms of printing.
Thanks for reminding me that my ancestors were assholes at times. Hurray 13:06 and that is why don't shorten SummerSlam or Survivor Series to SS ladies and gentlemen

Adam is perfect for storytelling. Equally hilarious and interesting, and able to switch between both immediately. Glad your back.
"Italians. Check your attics!" Had to watch the rest of the video again because I was laughing so loud at that
The map segment had me dying laughing. All that crumbling around and alarms going.
this channel is extremely underrated this video deserves 1 mil views
Indeed. Share it around!
Board Gaming History is the series I didn’t know I needed

“That’s John Cena’s...” sooooo good.
Wa Boo Dooooooo
The look on Adam's face when the sirens were going off 😂 my god I'm crying, I dont know why that was so funny 😂
When they back into the office everyone send Adam different monopoly games
ADAM: No.

Genuinely had me on the floor.

This was so interesting really didn't think it would be for me but really enjoyed it. Keep it up!
Big fan, Adam! This is some really cool content!
"Chess" had me belly laughing, so funny.
Describing how the silk map could be folded up small to hide gave me a "Pulp Fiction" flashback.
Liked for the opening line alone, what a great video!
This is so interesting! It's so unreal to me how much spy stuff is actually based off of some insane shit that actually happened
3:05 Adam is that cleary’s apartment you just broke into...?
What an amazing history lesson! Thank you for the education Blampied, I've a new going respect for monopoly!
Found this fascinating and brilliant

This was really interesting, thank you.
Hitler: we have the best prisons nobody can escape
A piece of card board: hold my get out of jail free card
So much would I like to see a crossover channel review/segment with Adam and Quinns from Shut Up and Sit Down. That would be epic.
You were right, it did deserve more eyes on it. Were there any other videos in this series?
I'm so fucking glad your back adam
Adam blampied = the hardest working man on the internet... fact
Nice costume dude
Great video, I love that story!
P.S. What uniform is that?
I wasn't too excited to watch this, but that intro. I am in!
This is really good. I was locked in the whole time. Fantastic
I really liked this video
I would like to see more board game history
I noticed the WWE belt in the Monopoly board, anyone else?
I’d enjoy watching this WWII movie for sure
4:57-5:08 Hilarious
Well this video has everything.
So interesting and cool!
I dont care for board games.
But I love the content of this channel.
Great job lads.
3:09 speaking of Nintendo
They were in the business of playing card manufacturing back then. I wonder if the Japanese government had them do anything war related in terms of printing.
My new monopoly squad is called the resistance 😅
And Monopoly goes on forever and ever and ever and ever
Jam that Jam
Thanks for reminding me that my ancestors were assholes at times. Hurray
13:06 and that is why don't shorten SummerSlam or Survivor Series to SS ladies and gentlemen
