18Mis: The 18xx Musical (Board Game Parody Musical)

[@GrafEisen1]

It makes me really happy when I see people making stuff not to appeal to a broad audience but instead to represent the things they truly love. Passion projects are my fave.

[@h00sha]

“Glad to do a friend a favour, but it’s really just for me..” bahahaha!! Sing it girl.

[@BenLeinweber]

"when the rusting of the trains causes the rusting of your heart" So good!

[@XCrawlFan]

Amazing. Brilliant! It should run for 20 years!

[@unachimba9]

Me as I hit play: “An 18xx musical, what is this garba...” Me 30 mins later: “how can I listen to more?”

[@ambierona]

I don't think I have any more 18xx songs in me for now (or any other "full" musicals), but there are plenty of one-off board game song parodies on my channel!

[@xugreatone1]

@@ambierona Not sure what genre of games you would do, but I'd love to see a Phantom of the Opera tribute!

[@xugreatone1]

I've never played an 18XX game, but I'm a huge Les Mis fan. This is so wonderfully done. Thank you for taking the time to make and share this! I'm a subscriber now.

[@davidlove236]

Wonderful job, Ambie! It had almost all of the iconic songs of Lez Mis represented, told a full story, and had the flavor of 18XX games. That is no small feat!

[@donalddennis3475]

Wow, that had to take a ton of effort. It is really cool to see folks combining their interests in unexpected ways. Oh, and I really liked your rendition of Laying out the Track.

[@ambierona]

Thanks! That one was really fun to make!

[@shingoi]

Two of my favorite combined! 18XX and Les Mis! Well done!

[@andrezottmann9412]

This is so gorgeous, all songs are kept very close to the original. And in particular the polyphonically sung passages are absolutely great. Many thanks, you made my day!

[@shawnmincer8231]

This is AMAZING!! Thanks Ambie, a really wonderful and entertaining video.

[@ambierona]

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@Barrylocke]

Almost half an hour, you madwoman I love it!

[@LHCper]

I love 18xx and I love Les Miserables! Great stuff.

[@johnathanrhoades7751]

This is amazing. Definition of niche appeal, but for those of us who appreciate it, it's amazing :)

[@markpatoka]

Amazing. I've never played an 18xx game and haven't seen Les Mis but now I'm intrigued.

[@leestanford697]

WOW! I've never seen Les Miz or played 18xx, but that was amazing! I wish I could give more than one thumbs-up!

[@ambierona]

Yay, thanks! I'm glad that it's enjoyable for people who don't like 18xx or Les Mis too!

[@jwfcp]

At first I was like "half an hour"? But that was Phenomenal.

[@ThinkerThemer]

How have I never seen this OMG Ambie this is everything 🤩

[@ambierona]

Yay, glad you like it! This was the culmination of all my board game content creation work 😝

[@ThinkerThemer]

@@ambierona so epic, I'd drop the mic 🎤 and walk away if we were capable of making something so incredible. Lol. Sorry we are years late to this party 🤣🥳 🎉

[@ambierona]

@@ThinkerThemer haha it’s okay! Glad you got to see it! How did you end up finding it?

[@57thorns]

And then, when you have floated it on your own, everyone else buy a single share just in case...

[@willbeplayin]

Major props! When I first heard about this I though it would be a max 5min skit but wow! :D

[@district_re]

Holy crap, this... is... amazing. Thank you for making this.

[@davezissou]

How do you only have 833 subs?! This is gold!!

[@gaffercat]

Brilliant!

[@kisslooms922]

That's incredible! Great job!!!

[@ambierona]

Thank you!

[@pincao]

Well done. Great stuff.

[@benjamincarter6095]

Simply amazing. Easily my favorite video from any dice tower contributor. Just subscribed to your new channel. Thank you!

[@WanderingLunatic]

Outstanding!!! Loved every minute of it.

[@mich4791]

Fantastic work!

[@johannesepple7980]

This is absolutely amazing! Thanks a lot!!

[@IHeartBoardGames]

Great stuff Ambie!

[@kesleycook2358]

18xx is the best.

[@Sl1vers]

So much awesomeness I have no words to describe this except ..... SUPER SAIYAN SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[@jacccmf2807]

I LOVE THIS! 💗💗💗🚂

[@nightmaregiraffe2671]

This is amazing! Thank you!

[@spielboy6931]

Darn it that was good ... ... Which got me to thinking if there was to be an 18xx Musical ... who would play Francis Tresham? ... I was thinking Jonathon Pryce ...

[@ambierona]

Haha I wonder how many people would actually go see an 18xx musical

[@JarvisJensen]

Awesome job, loved it!

[@sigmamayo]

amazing

[@GamingRulesVideos]

Phenomenal.

[@ralphanderson8090]

Utterly charming and delightful! There is a core of mostly old timers that play 18XX pretty much every day starting at 9am in the morning for all 11 days of the Gathering of Friends - and they don't even come close to loving this game as much as you do! More please!

[@athanasiospetsas9367]

I love the Kirby poster, the Zelda tee and this charming voice! Those games though! They look so ugly but they are very highly rated in bgg. They seem heavy too! 😬

[@ambierona]

Yup, 18xx games are a series of heavy economic games that a lot of people (including me) really enjoy! I made a video series about them on The Dice Tower, so if you're interested in learning more about them you can watch my intro: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joKZpHuYZtSVepY

[@witzman]

Listening to this after a 6p game of 18OE. Love it.

[@ambierona]

Woo hoo! How long was your game?

[@witzman]

@@ambierona 2h teach, after 12h we got to the lvl 5 trains. Then we decided to make a stock round and 2 more OPs. After 15h we „finished“. This time, we had 3p never played 18xx at all.

[@ambierona]

@@witzman Wow, that's an ambitious first 18xx game for them!

[@bradleyvision]

OMG I love this so much.

[@gejyspa]

As a fan of Les Mis, I really like this video. Unfortunately, despite the fact that I inherited a few 18xx games from my brother, I have never played them. The rules seem really daunting, and I want someone with expertise to teach me. I'm more a crayon rails fan, myself.

[@ambierona]

Hopefully you can find someone to teach you! I still haven't played a crayon rails game but I want to sometime.

[@Stephen-Fox]

I wish I had more ability to play this sort of game, but sadly most of my gaming is two player at present, but really enjoyed this all the same.

[@daninflorida3343]

Awesome! Just Awesome!

[@ambierona]

Thanks!

A. Bravo, as a theatre major with a heavy zeal for musical theatre, I had never considered an overlap strong enough to incorporate strategies to double tap NYC in song form. B. Complete non-sequitur, but I saw, near your 18XX collection, Rolling Stock. As a game I've literally never seen another person proudly display before, I ask you... is it actually good, or is my group just terrible at it/doing it wrong? One of the few PnP games I've made, I and another friend continue to debate there's probably a really interesting game in that stock game, but we cannot to this day figure out how to... appreciate it.

[@ambierona]

Thanks! I think Rolling Stock is good! It's actually my husband's favorite game and he's played it a lot more than me, so he knows a lot of the depth in the game. A lot of it is in planning exactly how you're going to use every last dollar, so you decide when to issue shares, how many dividends to pay, etc. based on how you can use that money that you'll get. If you like watching live plays, we actually streamed a live game yesterday: kzbin.info/www/bejne/in3Yc5ysbdGCotk My husband also made a site where you can play it online (www.rollingstock.net/) which helps a lot with the bookkeeping/math.

[@wyrdoe]

@@ambierona Looks like your hyperlink absorbed the closing parenthesis: www.rollingstock.net/

[@benjamincarter6095]

Rolling stock is great if you play with people who know how to play it. I'm thankful for rollingstock.net. I had no idea your husband was responsible for it!

[@bradleyvision]

How do I give this more than one thumb? I need to give it 12,000.

[@dikhtiarenko]

Cool!

[@2532robh1]

You are way so talented!!! Will you be at Gen Con this year?

[@ambierona]

Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it to Gen Con this year because my friend has a wedding the same weekend!

[@2532robh1]

@@ambierona Enjoy the wedding!! You are obviously a good friend! I'll hope to meet you there in the future. I'm addicted to your videos now, thank you!!!
