The Initiative Part 2 - GameNight! Se9 Ep15 - How to Play and Playthrough (SPOILERS!)

[@msmilder25]

OMG...Deborah's reaction when the "false bottom" was revealed...the pure, uncensored excitement she had...what an incredible gamer moment. Love it!

[@shinjial]

You're right. Games are awesome when they deliver moments like that!

[@melmac15]

Her reaction to things is exactly what I was when I played through the campaign! 😂

[@VultureCulture]

So glad we're getting the full playthrough of this awesome game. I appreciate recording the whole thing comes with extra hassles and challenges so I appreciate all the hard work you're putting in.

[@SocratesTheAwesome]

OMG I clicked on this video thinking “yeah I’ll rewatch them play this. I have nothing else to do”. I didn’t read the title at all. Imagine my confusion, surprise and excitement (in that order) when I heard Aaron say “we’re playing part 2”. 😮🤩😍

[@msmilder25]

Someone's burning the midnight oil...posting this awfully late tonight! Thanks! I was looking for something to watch!

[@skrotorr3223]

I love that the team is making this video. I'll probably never get the opportunity to play this, so watching is the next best thing. Thank you so much!

[@jose6276]

What genuine excitement! The thrill of the game play came out of the video and rubbed off on me. I Love it.

[@JellyJerryy]

I love how fast this game plays! and the sheer excitement after the reveal! 🤩

[@VultureCulture]

Just starting and I am so excited for a part two video!

[@tomasxfranco]

I love how excited Deb is over everything. I wish we had people with so much enthusiasm in our play group.

[@starcloak]

A follow up video to a previously played game, how unprecedented and I love it 😁

[@atomiccritter6492]

they did a similar thing when they played through that game which was essentially puzzles within puzzles within puzzles - omg I forget the title the one set in the era of the first black and white cartoons - that was more hardcore in terms of puzzles with some really really tough ones but they did a few videos of playthroughs - I will search and come back to add the title and maybe a link or two if possible It was The Wilson Wolfe Affair and looks like it was played over 4 videos - part one is here kzbin.info/www/bejne/q56vZ2esmaeUgcU VERY SPOILER HEAVY VIDEOS

[@savasyn]

Loved the unbridled joy and excitement from Deborah, so good! Oh man, I saw the correct final answer as a possibility before the reveal but, if I were playing and it was between what you guys came up with and what ended up as the right answer, I probably would have picked what you picked. Doh!

[@atomiccritter6492]

I thought Blown Around was correct - I maybe mistaken but wasnt a balloon mentioned earlier in the story? if so balloons can easliy be blown around...or flown around ....something ground

[@57thorns]

Did they once again (55:20) forget that the special gathering action can pick up two tokens, not just one? It says "pick up one token from your room and/or one token from an adjacent room".

[@atomiccritter6492]

such a good video. Deborah really is in her element here and Id be surprised if she doesnt list this as one of her favourite games of all time

[@mindyfranke5279]

Loving this series, especially the fun thumbnails to highlight the game. Keep up the great plays!

[@shinjial]

Yay! Was looking forward to this!

[@tjdickinson]

aaahhh cliff hanger! can't wait for part 3!!

[@edwindrood2816]

Yay was waiting for part 2

[@raszXavos]

this is like watching a show on netflix the tension haha

[@JackieFox1976]

My mind went immediately to "flown." I'm such a princess!

[@xas1985]

Spoiler of secret 3 The two blank glyphs were in red in the rule book example saying "Remember this" it was the t. Also, the "w" glyph was upside down, so not a "w" but an "M" playing it and then seeing your playthrough! Funny how our reactions are so similar!

[@LessonIsNeverTry]

I'm surprised they didn't cycle through more possibilities for the last puzzle!

[@Jindorek]

oops, Deborah wasn't supposed to pick up the second clue after the thin man entered her room.

[@sonyal3212]

I was totally silent yelling that it was clown around for mission 4!!! When is part 3 coming out???

[@Pineapples.papercuts]

S. A. M. E. !!!!!

[@luigiscazzari4724]

Those board-game themed posters are great! Is Aaron's tattoo a triskelion?

[@Sajatzsiraf]

I would recommend Aeon's End Legacy to Deborah :)

[@stacyp2186]

Another cliffhanger? My heart can’t take it.

[@darrensmith8487]

I think I'm developing a bit of a crush on Deborah... of course, I've always had a bit of a crush on Aaron. This is a really fun game to watch. The whole group of you seem like really nice people to play with (including the absent Dave).

[@FloydBarker]

3 for Dale!

[@TheLibGamer]

Again leaving the "What's the plan Phil?" on the table

[@ckopp8142]

Ah, mission 4. One of our few losses...

[@jjknave]

I had the right answer, remembering that these characters are kids. That is a phrase applied to children. So happy we are getting this much gameplay for this game!

[@57thorns]

That phrase in the end was horrible. Both options are equally possible without any other clues, was there something we (or they) missed? And you _have_ to find that one specific clue token to not end up in a 50/50 chance.

[@aligalad9907]

I was very sad you didn’t go back to the ‘clown’ after you decided the ‘around’ . I was yelling but you didn’t hear me :)

[@talkinglim]

Where is dave? Have not seen him for a while

[@boardgamegeek]

Dave has been away caring for his parents during the pandemic. He will be on an upcoming show soon.-Lincoln

[@edwurtle]

My 10 year old son LOVES this game. The comic book and simple crypto is fun for a kid. However the game feels too simple for adults. We are only up to mission 6, maybe it gets harder :/
