Neither of my grandfathers were alive when I was born, so my game doesn't stem from any hidden trauma or anything!
Maybe the trauma is so hidden YOU didn’t even know it was there???????
Hey Eddie, grandparadox, looks like a really good game wish I could play it
but did you consider... of the 3 of you, who is the most likely to become a grandpa? we'll see who is winning when your grandchildren hunt you down! :D
@@EVBell-gz8iv but did you consider, one of them could be the grandad, and one could the grandchild playing the long game?
You should publish Grandparadox. I'd buy it.
I can now publicly say that I have worked hard to contribute to TomSka's depression. The board game. Obvs.
Obvs :D
Man I wish I could contribute to TomSka’s depression!
I love you Tom have a great day
yep only the board game ;)
Why do you have a battery?
hearing a toddler say "KILL GRANDAD!!" in such happiness is surreal
The grandad actually coming was hilarious 😂😂
Well this is awkward 😓
I saw this comment in advance, and I was still not prepared for the moment when it arrived.
@@falcore91same then I saw the actual grandad😂
@@falcore91 LOL
23:30 Elliot woke up, had two depressive episodes, got out of bed, had another depressive episode, went back to bed, then had another depressive episode before finally starting the day proper.
sounds about right for a depressed person
I'm beiing called out- haha
relatable
Yeah that’s a feeling
More specific he woke up, felt crazy, got angry, got out of bed, avoided reaching out for help, went back to bed, had another episode, then finally got out of bed at probably noon
"Why do I have to kill a baby?"
"Because it's your Grandad"
Ah, the flawless Bowley logic
GrandAD
LOL😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was fully expecting Depression: The Game to just be a blank white board with the words "you lose" drawn on in red crayon so *good job Tom for exceeding my expectations*
I mean the challenge was to make a functioning game. A game that consists of nothing but a win condition and no rules to achieving it isn't really 'making a functional game'. Even tag has more rules than that!
Yet another depressed guy here. Read your comment and went full-on hard laughing; this is too accurate! You made my day, so enjoy your like! (odd how a dark description of a depression-based game actually made me happy....weird, isn't it?)

Tom finding out he has ADHD because he tried to make a game about depression is top comedy but also extremely relatable
Actually he mention the possibility of him having ADHD in an old CONTENT video, the Deep Dive one. As far as I know this video is the closets he has done to a follow up on that topic, which is totally cool cause it's not like he is obligated to tell us everything that happens in his life.
@@yilleypi yeah. It was in his internet deep dive
I’m glad he’s able to keep some things about his personal life personal. I know he overshares so fans can sometimes tend to feel like he owes them a peek even more into his mental state.
It’s good for him he’s keeping things to and/for himself
My late 20s in a nutshell
This is the second time he's accidentally realised he may have ADHD on camera
@@yilleypi TV f88f8i-

I love how the only problem Eddie's wife had with murdering her grandfather was killing him as a baby
to be fair, she had a point when she said, "Why couldn't i have just killed him in the war?" It would have been a lot less work
"It's hot in here. We're gonna turn some fans on... by getting undressed"
Honestly some pretty great on-the-fly wordplay
genuinely only got the joke when I read it in your comment here
If Tom actually sells Depression as a actual purchasable game, He will make a lot of money.
And the same if Grandparadox was sold as merch too. Both would be really fun to play.
Yeah, i genuinely wish both of these could be merch. Depression genuinely looks fun as well as educational.
Check the description guys, there is a printable version of this
@@craigcuozzo6791 I know that, but i don't have a printer and even if i did i wouldn't want to put in the effort to make the cards and boards look as high quality. I'd rather pay a price and have it all done for me.
@@zanemcewen1343 I mean, there are places where you can pay to get that done for you.
@@zanemcewen1343 Pay me ill do it. And by that I mean pay other people to do it and charge you for the convenience
A friend of mine did a game about depression in Uni, it was called Spiral. It was a co op game, you stood on blobs that went around in a spiral and at points you could get cards that could help you or someone else keep away from the end of the spiral. If you unfortunately got to the end, there was a drawer with a gun in it (a toy gun, we're not crazy) and a card that essentially says that you have reached the deepest, darkest point of your depression and have decided to end it. Turns out, a lot of people find it hard to shoot themselves in the head, even with a fake gun.
This is extremely interesting but also an extremely sad concept for a board game
That's a really fascinating social experiment. It'd be a terrible game to play, but that anecdotal evidence that suicide isn't something you can just do on a whim is really telling.
@@MrLegendofLP yeah, this too.
I love to play it

Welcome back to my game: "Is this a symptom of Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, or Dysphoria?"
Jokes aside, this may have inspired me to attempt my hand at a mental illness based game involving Spoon Theory.
Mood. But add autism, C-PTSD, and dissociation to the list
I have no idea what Spoon Theory is
@@RainyDelaneyy It's a way of explaining mental illness to someone who doesn't experience it.
The idea is that everyone starts off with a number of spoons, and throughout the day, doing activities cost you spoons. And if you don't have enough spoons, then you don't have the mental strength to do those activities.
For most people, simple tasks like taking a shower, making and eating breakfast, or even just getting out of bed don't coat that many spoons - if any. It's just something they do without thinking about it.
But living with mental illness can mean you don't have as many spoons, or doing simple activities can cost way more spoons than usual. So you have to think about what you absolutely need to spend your energy on rather than just going about your day doing everything.
If your mental health is particularly bad one day, you might have fewer spoons than usual, and have to prioritize the things that NEED to get done without question (Feeding pets, going to work, etc.) over the things that you really should do but would making doing those other things harder (making breakfast, taking a shower, etc.)
It's just a simplified metaphor to represent the toll mental illness can take on people.
@@runic_raptor Interesting! As someone who's very mentally ill, I think it's definitely a cool idea to make a game that goes along like that!
@@runic_raptor just a heads up, spoon theory was originally, uh, coined, i guess? for chronic illness rather than mental unhealth. it happens to also apply well for a number of mental illnesses, especially depression, but it is first and foremost a chronic illness thing :)
"That's not a depression symptom, that's ADHD."

Can we get Kickstarter for Tom and Eddie’s games, Not Elliot cause copyright but I’d for one love to try these games
that's what i was thinking
He would just have to fakemon parody it honestly
You can try Tom's game, he put a link in the description for the board and cards for you to print out. Except you have to get your own player pieces and dice!
Tom’s game sounds legitimately helpful for family members who don’t have depression. Like 5 turns in a row of sadness is a spot on example! Plus people with depression can have their symptoms addressed in such a way that they may burden the subject less than they did prior.
I love Eddie and Tom's games. I would honestly pay money for Grandparadox.

Elliot made an Unraveled reference. This episode has been out 30 minutes and directly before watching it I watched the My Weird Ice Creams video and proclaimed how much I love BDG.
Didn’t Tom reference Unraveled in his analysis of asdfmovie, also have BDG voice a character in the most recent asdf?
@@alexdavis665 yeah Tom fucking killed him lmao
Not suprising finding you here.
i was not ready for elliot to make this reference
Wait really? It was an Unraveled reference?? I didn't even notice.
20:09 that yay he’s dead never gets old
"Those aren't really depression symptoms, those are ADHD" this hiiiiiit
You know, since Polygon suddenly has a lack of Unraveled, that can be poached real easy, just saying
Nah it wasn't really a polygon series, it was a Brian series on polygon. It had a vision and had a slow story of bdg.... unraveling... over time( yes I think that was highly intentional)
It's because brian david gilbert (unraveled guy) left polygon
welp i guess he didnt watch the the last one
I loved Unraveled. Hence the part of this where I say "Now that Polygon has _a lack of_ Unraveled". I've also kept up with bdg's work since, all bangers

Yeah, gotta be careful with this, Tom. Once wrote myself into a depressive episode because in my new novel, the MC had depression so we just... Circled the drain together...
Are you okay now? :(
What is the novel called? Also I hope you are ok.
@@supremelordofknives Honestly? I probably should have written "manuscript" instead of novel, seeing as it's unpublished. I ended up putting that manuscript aside because I wasn't in a good enough place to write it. Its title has changed many times during my attempts and by the time I'm in a stable enough place to give it another full attempt, it'll probably change again.
If it gets published at some point, I'll try to remember to return to this episode and let you know what its title ends up being.
@Percy Yeah, it taught me an important lesson though. At least, I like to think it did. Instead of using art to help my mental state, I ended up just wallowing in it in an unhealthy way, and it's a fine line to walk between expressing your feelings in art and overindulging in them.
Tom: *Makes a completely original game*
Eddie: *Also makes a completely original game*
Elliot: Haha Pokémon is hard
20:41 imagine taking this out of context XD
That depression game is great. It would be nice if we can add another square in the board something like "surprised factor", where when you step in it, you take a card from the "surprised factor" stack. A surprised factor maybe be something like "Getting a pay rise - move to the nearest happy square" or " It's rainy but you didn't bring an umbrella - move to the nearest sad square". That makes the game harder to predict and to light up the mood, you know, the surprised factor can be any random daily things happens in life, or some Tomska's things " Baby with a gun- move to the nearest sad square" :)))
Overall, I love all these 3 games!!! And Eddie finally won something !!!!!!! Yay!!!
I love this idea! It adds a second instance of chance to the game and can also make it even more relatable.
"Something reminded you of a traumatic, personal event - go back to a sad space".
"You helped a stranger - go forward to a happy square".
"You overheard some people talking about you - they love what you do! (Progress to a happy square)"
"You overheard some people talking about you - they find you moody and inaccessible (Go back to a sad square)"
I love that idea! I've got an idea for a surprise card:
Suddenly pineapples.
they could be called swan card, like black and white swans :0
(also I really love this idea, it would add alot to his game)
Cool idea! Those little nuggets in life that can just make your day out of nowhere really should get some acknowledgement. Here's one of those things for me:
"A stranger has been really kind to you today!"
I feel like you could also do something where you move to the closest player. E.g. "You found a new friend - Move to the closest player".

Reminder that Elliot has come out on top of every prior episode except for one that was very close.
Honestly, I like the idea of GrandParadox, but it needs a die from 1-3 instead of a straight d6. Other than that, it seems like something that would be fun for a party with a bunch of drunk friends.

The mild irony in Elliot spending so much time making all the Pokémon single-type, when they already are single-types in the TCG. Hahaha bless him
I think there are a few dual types in Pokémon TCG, but they’re few and far between and I don’t think they’re even made anymore
@@Tippex_Official Yeah, they do (my fav is steel psychic Jirachi), but the weakness system is so different in the TCG as well. And then there's the "Delta" Pokémon you've surely seen, where they have super weird typings.

13:33 tom lying in bed with a microphone gives me bo burnham vibes I'm not gonna lie
okay well I commented this before he said he just wants to be bo burnham and now I feel like a genius
I do genuinely think Tom’s game could help, maybe it’d end up in a lot of counselors offices at schools at least to help kids express their feelings of depression
Honestly I’m livid for Elliot’s statistical wonder when playing depression.
5:30
I would absolutely watch a full video of Elliot simplifying all the dual-type Pokémon!
Maybe the ending of "Depression(TM)" can be more liiike, the first person to win becomes a "Therapist" role, so they can now add their own dice-roll to other players' roles. The dice roll doesn't have to be taken if it would lead the player to a bad spot, and sadness and happiness roles are effectively a zero from the therapist(s) for ease of gameplay-then each player goes until they actually make it through the day.
I feel like that would be a much better, more logical, and more wholesome message/finale for people who ACTUALLY are struggling with depression and playing the Depression boardgame than just "Welp, someone made it through the day first (somehow), so nobody else gets to make it through the day; they lost."
i'm not sure if you meant for your comment to come across this way, but by saying "people who ACTUALLY are struggling with depression" it kind of makes it sound like Tom doesn't have experience with depression when he's actually depressed himself! again, i might be misinterpretting but i just wanted to point that out in case you didn't know! /nm /pos
@@Gxylord Good looking out c: But naw I meant more like: There's gonna be people playing this game who /don't/ have depression, so those people without depression probably aren't gonna be too sensitive to (or even think too much about) the material/concepts, but someone WITH depression might feel like "wow.. the win-condition is just 'one person makes it, the others fail'? What kind of message is that to those of us with depression?" kinda thing.
Expansion pack?
@@RandomPhail that’s kind of the nature of a board game based on depression-in games there are winners and losers in board games…that always has to be realized when playing a board game or party game no matter the subject
@@CurtyTails I mean, it doesn't, and they literally provided a potential way for it to be avoided.
I love the different approaches you took lol
Elliot: card game hard
Eddie: killing babies
Tom: helping people with depression be more understood with the help of a game
“Turn some fans on by getting undressed” is an underrated, multifaceted pun XD
Tom's POV absolutely gave me bo burnham vibes and i loved it and then he outright SAID IT which makes it so funny
Tom: documentary-like mental health story, Elliot: Unraveled parody with a lot in post, Eddie: camera on table trying not to horribly fail.

Tom: depression
Eddie: Tim travel
Elliot: NINTENDO LAWSUIT
Elliot: I simplified the Pokemon TCG game!

Tom:**I made depression**
I love how much work all y'all put into your games. Gotta especially give props to Tom for wanting to share his experiences and give others the chance to do that in a friendly/low-stress manner. Thanks, man, I'm definitely printing that out and play it with my family. Maybe that'll help them understanding the struggle of bad days
"we killed a baby grandad with a fighter jet!" My best quote tbh.
tomska thinks he's just depressed plot twist YOU ALSO HAVE ADHD
Eddie's spiral into insanity as he attempts to learn GM Studio is very relatable as someone trying to get into game development
depression was probably the best made game, like it was easy to understand and everyone had fun, also tom put so much work into it and it turned out great... i want depression
Elliot: "Bats can't poison people!"
The bat that started Covid: "Hold my pandemic."
Shocked Eddie didn't immediately make a beeline for Scratch, that's the quintessential Drag and Drop programming language.
I would love to buy depression the boardgame if it was made legit. Such a good way to connect and talk about things we hold inside.
Well good news it is available for the low low cost of printer paper, he included a digital copy for us
Tom just yelling "Okay!" as he rolls a perfect 6 is the most powerful thing I have ever witnessed
I like how tryhards is less the three of them making things and more Elliot getting his chance to make his own TH-cam videos with cameos from Tom and Eddie
The funniest part is Elliot going “I’m going to fix the Pokemon trading card game!” And then having the worst one
12:56 he's playing mario kart 8!!!!!
He made Golduck and Psyduck actually psychic types.
Careful, he’s a hero.

Depression needs to be made for sale. 😂 omg, what a great way to address a challenging topic. The black lower case font blank on a plain white lid was perfect 👌 I laughed so much through this whole video. 😂 thanks!
this series is so cool, we can really get to see the process of just kickstarting some random things and just make them, and the differences in their approaches to the idea is so cool
Elliot is literally so relatable with having no freaking clue how the pokemon card game works.
you think that's complicated, ever tried getting into MTG or Yugioh?
The pokémon is accutualy the simpler game out of the big 3 (yu-gi-oh,pokémon tcg and magic the gathering)
For being based on MTG, it's weird how they handled energy. Because it's all based on attachment to the active mon once per turn and you can only start at a Basic, the schoolyard method would just be to build up a tough mon by loading your deck with energies and then steamroll all the baby forms that your oponent can't build up before they get bodied.
The consistency of tom doing good, eddy doing even better and elliot doing horrible in the games is hilarious
but that didn't happen this time, if anything it was the opposite
@@giggabiite4417 Re-read the comment.
I've scrolled too long without seeing someone mention it.
Elliot that was a fucking spot-on BDG's Unravelled intro impression. My wife and I literally caught it immediately as the title popped in.
There’s one problem with depression the game, it’s that there are too many sad squares and the cards send you so far back
Kinda like depression...
who needs a board game when you can experience it in real life, every moment of every day?
Yea,I agree, why would I want a board game about killing my grandad when I could easily experience it in real life >:(
Wait what
YAY
I was just like "I think I've seen this somewhere before" and then Tom jokes about Bo Burnham. It killed me.
Tom just rolling 6s on command was such a great moment.
I think we can pretty much just assume that, at some point during that visit, Rik shouted "kill grandad!" and Eddie had to awkwardly explain.
How to fix Elliot's game: Put the base stat totals of the Pokémon on there. If none of the moves directly do the outcome, it comes down to which numbers are the best.
Sorry for bumping this old comment, but I 100% agree. The reason the pokemon TCG is so complicated is partially the cards, but mostly because the game relies on numbers - at its core, that's what pokemon is.
Luckily, Rick saying “kill grandad” sounds a bit like “hello grandad”
Could have been awkward otherwise.
20:44
I can already tell they _really_ hate granddads and babies
You 2 are bots but your comments have so much to do with the video that I'm kind of scared
I love this video so much. I love how each of you guys has a very different video style, and each are funny in their own right, but they're even funnier juxtaposed to one another! I also love all of the game ideas in this video. As a game designer, I legitimately would LOVE to turn each of these concepts into a fully fledged board game! Tom's game is probably the most ready for publishing as he actually got some of the parts made. Eddie's game is really hilarious, but it's complexity (or maths) don't quite match the appeared simplicity of it. Elliot's game, if you take out any relation to pokemon, actually seems like a really fun party game!
I have not only enjoyed this video, but have taken inspiration from the games created here. So thank you for that!
Keep up the awesome work guys!
Ah yes the game of life
