"you must attack yellow" "it is destiny the Vulch understand" i'm dying lololol

[@franc.s3290]

"Who do you think is going to stab all of the blind wave members in the back?" *immediately cuts to aaron*

[@xenotanto8537]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@aldojamari4445]

I know im randomly asking but does any of you know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me

[@OldskullTV]

Loved the game. Really hope you play Cosmic Encounter again. So fun to watch!!!

[@creepyhobo1015]

Damn I really wanted Eric and Rick to win. ZULCH Edit: they need to play this again And DCC eventually!

[@metallsnubben]

DCC? (I aak 3 years after this comment was written...) The only DCC I know is Dungeon Crawl Classics

[@Wolf6119]

The history books of the Mighty and Eternal Warrior Empire will show that the Vulch-Vacuum Axis brought about its own demise with wanton aggression, while the Entente of Spiff and Macron, in their strength and unity, allowed themselves to be blinded to the true growing power of the Warriors. Hail to the Warrior, may their reign over the entire galaxy be long and bountiful!

Thanks for the spoiler - I guess.

Damn they really let him come up? While never using their abilities?

[@Shannon0810]

‘Who is going to stab the other blind wave members in the back?’ I immediately said Aaron 😂 Edit: I fucking knew it.

[@Wolf6119]

I think we all knew in that same moment that it would be Aaron lmao

[@celeste1737]

Shannon Hollis I said the same lmao! Damnit Aaron! 😂😂

[@darkjoker001]

Wow , and I honestly believed that Aaron was going to pull through with the Alliance.

[@brady3319]

He can never be trusted

[@Wolf6119]

To be fair, this time around it wasn't even really that he was proactively trying to screw Calvin and Shane over, the encounter with Rick just played out in such a way that he ended up pulling ahead at the last minute. Had he brought Calvin along it would have been a joint win. I mean he also latched onto them like a tick and rode their coattails to the doorstep of victory, but that's kinda on them for letting him lol

[@brady3319]

@@Wolf6119 haha I can kind of get where he was coming from in this situation at least

[@winter6892]

In the end he pulled an Aaron

[@sozonushi6444]

You fool Aaron can never be trusted lol

[@Kuralai95]

Rick, your voice would fit so well for an audiobook. Very clear and pleasant. 😊 P.S. I hope it's not a weird compliment 😅

[@xenotanto8537]

It's not a weird compliment. He has a good Speaking and Narrator Voice.

[@abedrahman4519]

Calvin trusted the one guy who anyone shouldn't trust with a single dollar

[@TheOTA101]

Great choice of game, me and my mates play this pretty often, especially enhanced by many beers.

[@Riverchalice441]

The VULCH!!!!!!!!!! \__/

[@StormageddonTMS]

This was the first game night I’ve watched and it was amazing! I’m trying to get into board games with my friends as well :)

[@darkvoid9391]

Aaron always with betrayal. Calvin should of just beat Aaron and won the game 🤣

[@TheAusomnessLucy]

I loved this gamenight! Y'all need to play this again. I loved all the world building! Long live the VULCH!

[@unleashingpotential-psycho9433]

Game night is always fun 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jonnyo3379]

VULCH! 🤘

[@neph6098]

''So, who do you think it's going to stab all the other BW members on the back?'' *Aaron pops out* I'm not surprised! XD

[@ryanbarrett3780]

I'm yelling at Shane the whole time over his completely botched use of Macron. lol

[@mlgnerd13]

He just refused to attack and played defense a lot

[@Chase-id6ob]

Will the DND campain or stuff in the same genre be making a return? That was some the best and most entertaining roleplay I've seen.

[@Lazy_Swordsman]

Really enjoyed this one!

[@rebeccabibergal3057]

Would love to see this game again... please

[@zacharydandridge1134]

Watching Shane misunderstand his power and play more ships than he was allowed to hurt my soul. Still, ton of fun to watch.

[@igotthemagic7510]

This is amazing ! Play more !!!!

[@wakaflockachewbacca6577]

16:15 Eric: I say utini a lot. Shane: *Becomes a Jawa*

[@stileskuchiki7978]

I enjoyed this game, can you guys play it again. I would really like to see more cards because the cards were wild.

[@nabilsealy9398]

This was fun. I love this Game so much. Hope you play it again. maybe you could play it on a harder difficulty with some of the crazier aliens and game mechanics.

[@JustinJIP]

Can you guys play this again? This was super entertaining

[@demdarkon]

I used to play this game in the 90s with my cousins and uncle every Christmas. It is still my favorite game. Plus the version we used to play was super old. I’m gonna see if my uncle still has it...

[@IMVADER2]

I watched Funhaus play this and was genuinely hoping you guys would pick this up for a session

[@zipadeedooda7938]

Fantastic that you've discovered Cosmic Encounter! I still have the original that came out in 1977. It is literally my favorite board game; my friends and I played it all the time. In fact, we played it the normal way so much that we started varying things. What we mostly did is play multiple powers. I think we started out with 4 to 6 each, and eventually we just dealt all the powers out to everyone. I think that made us have something like 20 powers a piece. There was tweaking since some of the powers kind of cancelled each other out if the same player had them. Anyway, I hope you have many hours of fun. Play the game for enjoyment, and if you win it's a bonus. :)

[@noelmontoya1535]

What happen to DCC, I want to see more father lawblaw, raven, sting and hunter Jay.

[@YOU_SHALL_NOW_PASS]

I think they are starting a new campaign in 2019. I think I remember Rick commenting that on one video.

[@alexandrarodriguez9658]

Swear to God every time I watch one of their game nights I end up laughing so hard

[@mesonparticle]

Greatly enjoyed this! ❤️One error though, both main players (attack and defence) and allies can play reinforcements 👍🏻

[@TheJMAZA]

Let this be a lesson to all: Never trust Aaron!! He played everyone like Shane did in that other game night video. Play this again immediately please lol

[@alexiablanchette6351]

This is the most hilarious game I ever watch 😂😂😂

[@jackiequestionable]

Need to play again!

[@jordanlewis8325]

Aaron=🐍🐍🐍😂

[@Slevencolevra]

This was funny ass hell

[@dustingerber2038]

Cosmic is one of the greatest games ever made

[@PhenomTaker]

Nice!

[@VirgilCummings]

You guys should play SMALLWORLD it would make for an amazing game night video straight up

[@Stuffthatsfunny1]

6:12 mkay 😂

[@sethhale235]

Have you all played with a second power before? I've seen just starting with both powers and also having one facedown you can reveal at any point you wish in the game.

[@TainoMoya]

I love the vulch hahaha

[@AndrewDikens]

I want a rematch episode 😂

[@Hatchamv]

maybe some light bg music while rick is explaining the game would be nice to drown out the squeaky chair haha

[@jamesjohngarner]

Defending allies' ships go on the oval part of the warp, not the base.

[@kevintemple9890]

Really enjoyed this but I have a suggestion: for games that have as much going on as this does it might be helpful to play a couple rounds, untaped, so that you guys can get a better feel for the game; especially those of you that haven’t played before. Then once everybody has a good grasp of what’s going on you can restart and begin filming. I only say this because sometimes the flow of the game gets broken up by a lot of questions and confusion over what a player can do, when, and results.

[@DocGenius42]

it might help avoiding misplays as well. I noticed some during this game.

[@GUYMAN261]

I need some water after that salty episode

[@Sanguine_Entertainment]

All Calvin had to do to win was just attack Aaron (or literally anyone it gave him on that turn) on a planet where he could win. If he loses the encounter-- the Spiff let him win for free. If he wins the encounter, he wins. All he has to do was pretend he was going all in on an attack -- to announce he was going for the double-cross on Aaron -- who would then defend as hard as he could (and still lose the game) -- or he could play a negotiate card (and lose the game).

[@dip602]

Someone pick up that phone cause Eric called iiitttttttt........

[@GamingGamer22]

dip602 lol nice Dbza reference

[@andrewparks7553]

You all should definitely play Hail Hydra.

[@Bundeskaiser]

Some critical rules errors here. Ships on foreign colonies never add to that planet's defense, even when they ally with the planet's owner. The ships on the planets are bystanders. You cannot play more than 1 flare per turn. It is not allowed to look at other players' hands. But damn, Calvin is just an incredibly charming guy. Great attitude and presence at the table. Even when he was really foolish during the end. He had absolutely no reason to not target another planet and play an Attack against Aaron and win it alone.

[@DuecePiece]

🤘 Vulch forever🤘

[@TheOuterRim1]

please play again

[@knowyourhistory]

WHO WILL CALL FOR MASS?

[@cristindallos1570]

You guys should play Risk Game of Thrones, in spite the finale of the serie, is a really good game

[@RaMraM-zm1el]

I don't think Aaron planned that out, he was really planning on taking Calvin but Rick forced him in the end.

[@stefanvanschaick]

You can't trip card zap a double card zap. You can't trip card zap a double card zap. LALALALALALA

[@blackandbluemadness7965]

Sooooo.... Shane is the French president now? Good to.know .

[@joetaptaco]

UGH!! 1:23:00 You cannot show anyone your hand. There are alien powers that allow this, but just doing so destroys the metagame. I really liked watching this video, especially the 1st encounter. Remember, you are only allowed to play 1 flare per encounter, reinforcements can be played by the main players, cosmic zap only cancels an alien power(you would need to play card zap to cancel a flare), and players get the option of a 2nd encounter if they had a victory or a successful deal.

[@kyledavies7555]

Am I crazy? Final encounter. Aaron: "Warrior makes this a 4." But Rick also had 4 because of the Macron flare. How does this allow Aaron the win?

Yo wtf play again 😂😂😂

[@bostonotaku3396]

Shane did not use his ability well at all

[@mlgnerd13]

I know they're just messing around by shitting on Aaron, but seriously, you play to win the game. You make alliances if you have to, but if there's an opportunity to solo win, you take it.

This is why u dont trust Aaron. I called it.

[@arakuss1]

I just stumbled on this channel and I over all like it but so hard to watch sometimes when they don't know the rules.

[@ChooaBunny]

Shane: picks a class that's amazing for attacking, but doesn't help with anything else. Also Shane: plays mostly defense. When I saw his pick I knew the ability wouldn't be used that much, he is too nice to play offense 😅

Jesus fuck Calvin ever heard of a toothbrush?!?!?!? 4:10

[@MidnightClad8]

Also Rick on your very first attack on Calvin when you lost you had to use your ability and should have revealed turn one.

[@irfanbakti49]

yo calvin needs to brush his fkn teeth😂

[@Lavoye]

They looked bored... Hosts should always know the rules of the game. It kinda sucks when you always have to look at the rules the whole time. Especially a simple game like that.

[@MrMpa31]

this game is too chaotic, not a fan of negotiation games, especially when there is opportunity to gang up on someone

[@thewerewolff7248]

MrMpa31 the galaxy is a chaotic place

[@joetaptaco]

But when everyone is ganging up on you, and you still manage to win, it is soooo sweet.
