This video just makes me miss Rodney & Dave so much. I can't wait for the day when people can start gathering again.

[@russkuksin8782]

I need Dave to make an instructional video on how to learn his awesome shuffling skills.

[@JogoscomLeite]

I have to say: this become, by far, my favorite Boardgame series to watch. Thanks! You're amazing!

[@boardgamegeek]

Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching! -Lincoln

[@davidhoffer5290]

With you guys every game seems to be a good purchase but I would like some more friends like you to play them too. You are such an intelligent, positive and funny guys.

[@nailee7428]

I played this game twice at a convention with a complete stranger and my boyfriend and it's really cool and hard. We won and then lost in the penultimate round too, but it was so much fun. And it is possible to play with strangers too. Really nice game.

[@gcanceko]

Revisited this video after finally finding copies at my FLGS! Loved the gameplay and the great game group - that crazy Canadian! (I also loved the Honga video which also featured Rodney!)

[@blueskydraig4901]

So enjoyed watching this, would happily watch you play a few more games of this one.

[@Romey301]

I absolutely love this... It was so much fun watching and just being able to play with you guys trying to guess. Love this and seeing Rodney play was a bonus😃 just purchased.

[@ginnyghezzo1368]

I 100% got Mary Shelly. Never would I have read into the eye focus that early

[@charlieinnes4378]

Love this game. Would love to see you play some more with the coming decks and different combos!

[@irrevenant8724]

I picked the second one. As soon as they thought about eliminating it I was all "No, wait!!!!". xD So well played, Dave...

[@JackieFox1976]

It's interesting seeing you play this with Rodney instead of just the usual gang.

[@boardgamegeek]

Dave was awesome with his clues, I wish we had been on the same wavelength. -Lincoln

[@truehappiness204]

Love this game! I hope we can see the animal version and the myths one played one day.

[@VeggieGamer]

Holy molly, I actually worked the second one out! This game is awesome!

[@CWReace]

Looks fun: sort of a quicker/lighter version of Mysterium.

[@BoardGames3000]

Have fables and myths on hold at a with and online games store. Can’t wait to play once I get them released in an order.

[@SingularSuperNinja]

The moment Dave said "monster", Shelly was obvious (although I thought it was Marie Antoinette in live play - as she was the only potentially villainous one). The dead silence around the table made me wonder if only Dave actually knew who Mary Shelly was.

[@Dizzula]

My homeboy Rodney!

[@thepantweaver]

I would've been interested in you all playing the Historical deck with historical clues like you did with the Fables deck. I've found that deck is much harder to win.

[@schoko-fan4370]

Similo Myths was announced to be released spring 2020 I do not know if it came out yet, it does not say on their homepage, it does not even mention the animal one

[@Jindorek]

I'm not a fan of these types of games. But i loved the video, and even more so Dave's thought process.

[@admiralspunky]

I like this game a lot, and I've only played it on BGA a couple of times. Do the different decks have different backs? I just know at some point I'm going to try shuffling multiple decks together.

[@Shelby-xz4qk]

Whst happens if they take the one out that is your card that you picked?

[@ThanatoselNyx]

So weird seeing you refer to the Epidemic. It was classified as that so long ago!

[@chiefsspursfan89]

Havent seen the animals box , but there is a greek myths box.

[@ianlim9437]

i can sense the Marvel reskin of this one will soon come out. way back years ago we can see zombie theme in lots of games. but now Marvel is the new Zombie.

[@nellgwenn]

Cute game.

[@marjiewendt9221]

Who's the artist? Fantastic work

[@gcanceko]

Naiade who I think did Tokaido

[@bumfuzzel4512]

I want this game but with the plastic case. Even if I have to pay extra.

[@ttt4life]

I guessed Mary Shelly once I saw big bad wolf. I was on his wave length

[@Tennethums1]

I see these are selling for about $10 on Amazon. The artwork alone is priceless. Yes, it has that Mysterium vibe and as such, has two very bad drawbacks to it - down time and dictatorship. This doesn’t seem to be nearly as bad as Mysterium in overall down time (everyone waiting for the ghost to pick cards for each player and then the ghost waiting for everyone to deduce the clues) but you still have that “dictator” role that someone inevitably falls into. I always feel that games like this should come with voting tokens where people can take majority votes instead of just having one person dictate what decision will be made. At any rate, for $10 this is a no brainer of a purchase. Makes for a great filler and since I sold my copy of Mysterium, I need a game that fills that kind of mechanic without all the pomp. Not a Disney fanboy however so going for the History version. It seems like it would be more fun with a general audience (and more educational) as you can choose characters based on timeline, historical legacy, etc.

[@Gufnorkian]

How did they not get gender? Dave constantly went to gender in the first game so you had to assume it was a woman, especially when the first two clues reinforced it. Dave's third and fourth clues were just genius.

[@PetrSojnek]

I guess that's the problem :) you can't pick "genius" clue cause "layman" may not get it :D

[@JogoscomLeite]

This game is very "similo" (xD) with One Key.. however I guess this one is more streamlined.

[@marcelcwertetschka]

looks like a faster version of One Key...

[@RoderickEtheria]

I think, as long as there is gender, the first clue will almost always be about gender.

[@boardgamegeek]

Indeed. Thankfully Similo: Animals is coming in late 2020, which will eliminate that route of investigation. -WEM

[@draft13]

Yeah, that seems like a natural way to play for sure.

[@tomeofnotions1684]

I usually just throw down the House Ban Hammer of not allowing Color matching clues and you can add gender to the list of bans if ya want. Increases difficulty but more creative clues are given :)

[@irrevenant8724]

The question is how much (if any) *additional* information they're trying to get across with that card. For example, if the first card is Alice, then the target card is probably female. Is it also young? Or blonde? Or associated with Wonderland? The game seems to be just as much about figuring how much to *not* read into the card...

[@diamondmeeple]

I believe they are a couple.

[@spacepotatos3359]

Another great vid guys

[@davidmaldonado933]

Reminds me of a less racist version of Unusual Suspects

[@Mewmewmew2]

The game kinda sucks

[@boardgamegeek]

The game is different but quite fun. You should give it a chance if you have an opportunity. Thanks for the note and for watching. -Lincoln
