Not quite as crazy as all of these, but my grandmother said that she broke up with her boyfriend because he lied about cheating at a card game. She said "If you are willing to lie to me about something as small as this, you are willing to lie about something much bigger."
I do get her logic completely. Lies within the rules of a game is something different. Just the act of cheating in itself says something about a persons character.
Bruh my family added a house rule to our monopoly where you can cheat as long as you don’t get caught. As in grabbing money from the bank when no one’s looking, stealing peoples stuff when the go to the bathroom. We have no shame when it comes to cheating.
4:36 I just want to point out that in 1989 a guy who's actual last name was "Noid" went into a Domino's Pizza in Atlanta armed and took the employees hostage because he thought Domino's mascot was making fun of him. Thankfully no one was hurt, and all he did was demand ransom money. Dominoes had to drop the Noid mascot because of it. Thought it ties in to this morbid topic.
My friend did the classic Monopoly up-end when I was about to beat him, but then went back to it and then threw the entire thing out of a third storey window. The game was run over by the traffic below, which, to be honest, is what it deserved.
So this was told to me by my aunt, at Christmass: My grandparents were quite poor, and my grandmother was basically an litteral evil person in life. One christmass an aunt gave my dad and his 3 sisters a board game. I think monopoly. For once they had something fun to do and a real present for christmass. Grandmother didn't like "the noice" from the kids, packed the game up, and tossed it into the fireplace. She simply couldn't abide anyone around her being happy. I must have looked completely aghast, cause my aunt just said: "That's your granny...." and my dad just nodded. It happened. I still don't understand people who would do that to children.
@@boskoboskovic1227 No, and definitely not at that time. A friendly game of Monopoly without haggling, rents or stupid game prolonging house rules are just snakes and ladders. You walk around, buying properties and pray that you get a full set. Eventually someone wins, or you run out of time, but who cares, "it is only a game". And it is still a better gateway to more serious board games than football.
I only flipped the table once. It was a game of Risk. What makes it interesting is that I was winning. What made me mad was how my brother was (and still is) unable to lose with any sense of dignity. After asking him a couple of times to stop being so defeatist, I lost it and flipped the board. To be fair, I was still a teenager, but ever after more than 15 years I still remember this vividly.
I once witnessed my brother get so salty over a game of Monopoly he legitimately wrote a letter of complaint (to Waddington's I believe) detailing the events of the game and asking them if they agreed that what happened was unfair.
A game of D&D I hosted recently slipped into pretty grim territory when, after a particularly bad run of luck for both began to build more and more resentment, two of my players, (brothers I might add) began to air their long standing grievances with each other in front of 7 other players.. 3 of which were joining via discord. Nd this was far from "in character". It led to a bizarre scene in which I had to essentially play dad, put my foot down and say something close to the effect of "this behaviour stops NOW or I'm turning this campaign AROUND!!".. Pretty tame week compared to some :P
I played tournament 40k for about 20 years. I have seen plenty of models launched around rooms, furious storm outs and tables flipped. The "best" would have been the metal dreadnought picked up by its owner and launched into the wall on the other side of the room we were playing in. It shattered but not before it left a fist sized dent in the wall. The guy calmly packed up the rest of his gear and left the event, never to be seen again.
Not so much a "heated" moment but while we were once playing Ticket To Ride, one person at our table (who realised she was losing) screamed that we were all nerds for playing the game before my partner shouted back in her face: "YOU'RE PLAYING IT TOO!" Thankfully, no one took it too seriously and we dissolved into laughter and continued the game. Just goes to show what happens when people start to lose 🤣
I was kind of surprised to not see Backgammon on here. Surely, a 5000-year old game of high-stakes gambling played between emperors and nobles must have resulted in someone losing a limb or two?
So my parents and I were playing Risk. I seen that my mother was the most open to attack, so deciding to invading her countries. The game ended with a dice being chucked at my face, and the broad across the room. Yeah fun times, and haven't played since.
Thanks for another excellent video. My younger brother (when he was about 7 years old) once flipped cluedo but I was never in fear of my life.... There was no danger of it escalating to Master Jones, in the bedroom, with the candlestick.
One time I played a game of monopoly with some mates and had a mate get hotels pretty early. Another mate eventually got hotels on the reds and right before the first guy looked like running away with it, he landed on Fleet Street, Trafalgar Square and then chance carded a “go to Trafalgar Square” and was made bankrupt immediately. He stood up silently, got in his car and drove away. The next morning he got onto a plane and travelled interstate and we didn’t see him for two weeks.
"We're not going to show any gruesome images..." I'm sorry, but you showed Monopoly at least twice in the intro. Where's the trigger warning for THAT?!?
Not a board game, but I remember an incident from Monterey, CA. where some person was doing a Vampire The Masquerade LARP campaign and stabbed an old lady to death with a sword. No joke. He took kayfabe too far. It was on local news too.
Not a board game, but still applies. I was playing Magic the Gathering against someone at a Ravnica: City of Guilds prerelease. I cast the spell Tunnel Vision, naming a card that caused my opponent to mill down to a out three cards in his deck. He lost by decking out. He punched me. I almost had a broken nose.
I've been in a few online d&d sessions where one player or another has just lost their cool and attacked a pillow or desk. As for ones I have seen, the venue for fighting game tournaments I played at was a shared space with card game players and the magic the gathering days had more than one instance of throwing punches or flipping tables.
I’ve been apart of some Dominos craziness. So I Fully believe that. I’d actually call that a nice story. Depending on what neighborhoods you play in, it can get bad.
Make the volume louder on your videos. Especially Adam's. The ads are far louder and Adam's dynamic voice overs often have me turning it up and being blown out by an unexpected ad.
I miss actually good, top 10s and lord of the board please adam these are all great videos at least the top ten its fun to know your opinion on a wider variety of games
At a trivia night that had a board game element, it did have a prize at end. Anyways final round and this guy missed the question and he just sunk to the ground and just sat there in tears about because he lost. Now granted losing a prize sucks since he was so close but he was on ground for almost 20 minutes and the prize was only a gift card.
Most tableflips could be prevented if people would decide BEFORE the start of the game if they play according to the rule book or with a homebrew. And EVERY "but the rules..." need to be put down immediatly because everybody agreed beforehand. Since doing that, there never was a risk of a table flip ever again. I just had to make clear a few times that there is NO complaing about rules IN the game. You can voice your ideas beforehand and not when it comes great to your current game.
I know this isn't quite the same genre, but I broke my Gameboy Advance on my forehead when I was a kid because I couldn't beat a secret boss in Golden Sun. I never told my parents exactly how it broke, but I knew that if I wanted another GBA, I would have to be the one to pay for it. That $40 I spent on a lightly used GBA was a lot for 12-year-old me, and needless to say, I learned very quickly how to reel in my temper after that incident. I still have the replacement Gameboy and it still works like new.
"relying on someone else to win a game is a one way ticket to stressville a town on the outskirts of resentmentburg" And yet we keep designing all of our competitive video games to be 5v5... No wonder gaming sucks right now
Blokus will be on future lists. I don’t think I’ve ever played that game and no gotten upset and yelled and argued. I can see it escalating quick with that game.
Can you guys make a list of top 10 area control games? (I've bought Battle for Rokugan recently and i love the gameplay and how nobody knows who is winning until the last round and i would love to try other games like that)
This video actually awoke a memory in me: I couldn’t tell you the game we were playing, it could’ve been UNO, it could’ve been Clue, I don’t remember, but for some reason the tensions ran so high, my mother’s boyfriend (one of… many) decided to pull his gun on me. Mind you, I was, like, 13. It was such a bizarre incident, not even just for that, but because I’m sitting there trying not to freak out and deescalate the situation, my mother, who was right there just thought the whole situation was funny, meanwhile her boyfriend is giving me an intense, hateful stare as he’s, y’know, pointing a gun at me.
I've seen someone flip a table because a guy insinuated that he made more money than him. He did make more (not the point, I know), but the guy who tilted took an offhand remark as a declaration of war and just full on lost his mind.
In my case, it was at a college gamers' club. I had just joined, and played a few games of Magic the Gathering. I then came up against one of the leaders of this club. It turns out, he was a little new to MtG and did not appreciate how some of the rules played out, and proceeded to ban me until I played by his rules (basically how he thought the rules were meant to play out). Fun thing, I ran into him at a local card store years later, playing a tournament. I asked if he remembered me, and he jokingly said I was still banned, though he obviously learned how to play since. He still did not like my old strategy though, haha.
At a high-level gaming convention, my opponent not only flipped the table because I beat him at Monsters Ravage America. He proceeded to pick up his chair and begin swinging it at others in the room, crying and screaming that it wasn't fair. Nobody was hurt, but he was not seen at the convention for a few years after that.
My favorite Game Story doesn't involve death but does involve Norm Mcdonald and an Old Man playing Scrabble in a cold, lone "Bed & Breakfast" It's the best
I was playing Trivial Pursuit with some friends and the boyfriend of one of the ppl playing got mad because he couldn't answer one question correctly so he grabbed the game and the box with the questions and tossed it out the window
I've gotten quite angry myself during a game of Battle Masters against my brother growing up. Another game we played back then was Dragon Lance, but for some reason, that one didn't lead to anger.
When I was the vic president of a board game club. I saw a person walk out the room when I was playing catan and did not come the club to the next few weeks.
I've definitely had friends and family get angry, argue, and/or leave the table mid-game, but can honestly say I haven't experienced a board flip or anything more drastic than that. Still, I hate to see someone get so angry over something that is supposed to be fun!
My best friend broke up with her boyfriend as a joke after a game of Catan where I'd done some kingmaking not in her favor. She got mad and told him she was breaking it off as he was leaving "as a joke". He was absolutely heartbroken. they're still together, though.
Should have had a photo from the Sopranos episode where arguing over Monopoly house rules led to a mob hit. Admittedly not of anyone present at the time.
I forget when it happened but, a few guys, drunk, were playing "Mario party" and one friend stole his other friend's star.....Which, ended in the friend being shot till he could no longer play Mario party, ever, again....
Not a board game but in high school my friend threw his Magic The Gathering deck straight into my face and quit. Not that game but for good because I counter spelled a zero casting cost card. It took TEN YEARS for him to play again.
A friend of mine actually got divorced after a game of Monopoly. His then-wife got so pissed that he wouldn't sell her Boardwalk and Park Place for a Get Out of Jail Free card, bitching about "We're married, we should be sharing them anyway" and flipped the board over. He was talking to his lawyer the next day. Didn't help the fact that it was revealed she was sleeping with his brother....
A few friends and I were playing Cards Against Humanity and after the most puritan man ever said the things he had to read, he got up from the table put the box in the bathroom and flushed the toilet. Making it sound like he flueshed the cards.
Ive seen someone try punch another player in the face, because he spent his downtime improving his status in VTM and the other payer had been trying to do it constantly
My only board game stories, boringly, are about my enjoyment being burnt through by an older sister that needed to be winning or she was never happy. It wasnt just competition, she actively wanted everyone else upset and suffering.
When I was in high school there would be a group of people who would play uno. One day they we playing teams and one team kept stacking plus 4s on the other team until the other team started doing it on them. They still had plus 4s until the teammate number 2 said I’m out but they still stacked including his teammate. So those teams started a fist fight at lunch and were suspended. Over a game of uno. For 10 days.
Adam I would like to play Phase 10 with you, every time I play with my parents I just get yelled at and leave the table if I skip them once, and they always want me to play and I just say no all the time now, which sucks because I like games
I remember a game of risk a couple of mine and I were playing that ended by the board being thrown into a fireplace and the dice destroyed with a hammer.... hard booze and risk should never be mixed is the moral of this story lol
Oh, a Dominos murder also happened here in Spain years ago. Two grandpas ended up stabbing eachother during a game. I would say I was surprised, but one time a fart caused a shooting between two gangs in a town close to where I live, so...
and i thought this only happened when it came to playing cards, geez louise, what are we doing now, leaving pistols out on the table over a game of Chutes and Ladders?
nothing noteworthy destructive, worst is either someone reaching for and grabbing a couch cushion to chuck at someone else. Worst for me was getting up, and walking away "nope, nope nope.. I'll be back later.. but nope" after playing, oddly enough "start player", which is less a game on it's own, and more a quick way to semi-randomly pick who goes first.
Adam may not have flipped a table, but he has been put through one, so that counts, right?
Definitely counts
100 percent
Of course it counts
Being put through a table is just the wrestling equivalent to a table flip
1000 percent
Not quite as crazy as all of these, but my grandmother said that she broke up with her boyfriend because he lied about cheating at a card game. She said "If you are willing to lie to me about something as small as this, you are willing to lie about something much bigger."

When I realized Monopoly was #2 and we had already gone through chess I wondered what could possibly top that, and the answer did not disappoint.

Thanks for throwing some token non-American incidents on this list so we don't feel so bad.
The irony of people going to prison for life over a game of dominos, only to play dominos for life.
Adam is clearly the guy who inspires board flips, not the guy flipping the table.
What about the last Blood on the Clocktower game when Adam was the Lunatic? doesn't that count as a tableflip moment?
Yes I think that counts. Adam probably disagree.
Nah he didn't rage quit for one, he just changed his gimmick

Spongebob almost ended up on here after Eels and Escalators.
Aren’t there a few accounts of violence over Go too? I’ve just seen depictions so I could be wrong
A few friends and I were playing Cards Against Humanity and after the most puritan man ever said the things he had to read, he got up from the table put the box in the bathroom and flushed the toilet. Making it sound like he flueshed the cards.
Ive seen someone try punch another player in the face, because he spent his downtime improving his status in VTM and the other payer had been trying to do it constantly
When i was young i played monopoly with my dad i beat him and right after he left to go the shop and never came back
Kind of surprised that there wasn't any poker on this list. I think that poker cheating was one of the leading causes of cowboy death
My only board game stories, boringly, are about my enjoyment being burnt through by an older sister that needed to be winning or she was never happy. It wasnt just competition, she actively wanted everyone else upset and suffering.
When I was in high school there would be a group of people who would play uno. One day they we playing teams and one team kept stacking plus 4s on the other team until the other team started doing it on them. They still had plus 4s until the teammate number 2 said I’m out but they still stacked including his teammate. So those teams started a fist fight at lunch and were suspended. Over a game of uno. For 10 days.
Adam I would like to play Phase 10 with you, every time I play with my parents I just get yelled at and leave the table if I skip them once, and they always want me to play and I just say no all the time now, which sucks because I like games
Wow No Rolls Barred just went TV-14
So for No.1 are we going with feature film or Netflix mini-series?
a big one you didnt mention the murders blamed on vtm
I remember a game of risk a couple of mine and I were playing that ended by the board being thrown into a fireplace and the dice destroyed with a hammer.... hard booze and risk should never be mixed is the moral of this story lol
Oh, a Dominos murder also happened here in Spain years ago. Two grandpas ended up stabbing eachother during a game.
I would say I was surprised, but one time a fart caused a shooting between two gangs in a town close to where I live, so...
I remember one holiday when a game of risk led to a screaming match
A friend of mine flipped the “Pokemon Master Trainers” game board ever, and then promptly threw his brother’s new shoes in the pool.
I admit to having a few heated moments in Star Trek Catan over the years. Especially after the expansions.
The first entry is literally where I'm at rn
I an surprised Spades did not make this list
Okay Adam....
I have PFK/NRB/WT(PC) and i have true crime channels in my subbox.
This is a weird crossover episode.
3:11 Tell me right now that's not bootleg Kevin Owens
In Spain an old man came back to the bar with a harpoon after loosing, if I'm not wrong, a game of domino and he shot thankfully missing his "friend"
I like the fact that the supposedly wicked Ouija Board is now produced by Parker Bros who make Scrabble, Risk and Cluedo. (Thanks QI)
"Domino is not a game that you associate with intensse argument" and thats how you know Adam have never meet a Cuban.
I used to playing monopoly with my sister, and the last time we played together was five years ago, and we haven’t talk sense.
Adam I will prove in the court of law that you did flip over the board after a game.
and i thought this only happened when it came to playing cards, geez louise, what are we doing now, leaving pistols out on the table over a game of Chutes and Ladders?
What about when we never got closure on The Trials of Plumpy
nothing noteworthy destructive, worst is either someone reaching for and grabbing a couch cushion to chuck at someone else. Worst for me was getting up, and walking away "nope, nope nope.. I'll be back later.. but nope" after playing, oddly enough "start player", which is less a game on it's own, and more a quick way to semi-randomly pick who goes first.
