CrossTalk - GameNight! Se5 Ep29 - How to Play and Playthrough

[@sagek1716]

FYI parsec is a unit of measure and would not be capitalized. Just like meter or inch.

[@JefferyHunt]

Toby’s mannerisms are eerily similar to Reiner Knizia 😂

[@reafdfsagassg]

Ambie?! from Board Game Blitz? YAY!!! That must be her husband, Toby.

[@brettsobol3217]

I like how you both approached the first keyword. Very funny how you both had the same train of thought. Thanks for the entertaining playthrough.

This is a great game... but for some reason it rewrites my brain to only thing of clues that are proper nouns... or the actual answer itself! I reeaaaally like the hint cards though. They can make the game more in depth... but I usually just use them to correct course with my bad clues.

[@BoardGameBill]

Agreed on the hint cards. This was fun to watch, but I think it might have been good to add the hint cards after the first round or two, once everybody knows how the basic game works. The hint cards are the piece of this game that seems really innovative to me, and I would have liked to see how these players would choose to use them. Still a fun episode though!

[@gejyspa]

This is a really fresh concept. you want to give clues that are good, but not TOO good, since you are giving them to the other team.

[@grapevineforge]

Game Night has become part of my routine! I love this show!

[@cwej82]

Hey enjoyed watching this but is there a hidden episode 28 somewhere or is this numbered incorrectly?

[@philnicholls2224]

I wondered about episode 28 (Castell), after having watched about half of it, and then it disappearing... According to their Facebook page, it was taken down due to some mistakes in play. They've said that they plan to re-shoot and re-upload it.

[@samuelcasales4795]

Yeah, maybe because Dave played the entire game with his base castellers lower than his upper ones... What is funny is that no one noticed that haha

[@heccubus1]

Castell will be back. We are going to replay it and it will be re-uploaded then. Thanks for noticing!

[@davidarnott6085]

"What is funny is that no one noticed " Heh, least of all me. Such a dope. Or wait... the video is gone now... so... I played MAGNIFICENTLY! Not a single rule out of place!

[@samuelcasales4795]

WOW I can not belive that those are really you Lincoln and Dave!! You are awesome, I really enjoy the show :D Keep going you are amazing!! Regards from Spain :¨)

[@LifeUntilLove]

I think the clue givers did an excellent job since I was able to guess many of these right up front. Or maybe Godzilla, hangovers, and the Power Rangers are always first to my mind.

[@martinaasandersen3775]

For Millenium Falcon you could just use spaceship, smugler and bird (the falcon part) or something like that

[@GirlyGamer-BoardGameGran]

Own it, still haven't played it. Thanks for the play through guys, looks fun.

[@geneinkc]

On that last puzzle, “burgundy” would’ve been a great private clue.

[@Whoolzyourdaddy]

Played this at our local Conn and had plenty of laughs. Ambie and Toby did great!

[@joelstuckey3685]

Like if you were thinking Bloody Mary too 😆

[@issa496]

I would've gone news ship male

[@RoderickEtheria]

When I saw morning and liquor, I immediately guessed hangover. I also saw the single clue morphing and jumped straight to Power Rangers before mighty was introduced. And some of these you could deliberately give completely weird clues to. Imagine if somebody gave a clue like deckhand for anchorman, expecting their opponent to be giving clues that generally would lead towards news broadcasting.

[@brettsobol3217]

That's the idea with the keywords we chose. Many of them can be reached in multiple ways and that's where it gets really hilarious. And it's not only other directions/topics, but many times you can go a layer deeper to describe very specific things for the clue that are a layer deeper than the keyword itself but may be used as references for it. Examples for Hangover might be: Tiger, Baby, Glasses, Tooth, Bachelor or for Anchorman: brick, lamp, trident, hair.

[@RoderickEtheria]

Or for Hangover, you could give your partner a hidden clue like cliff, and then give a clue for the word like flip, which might well be a clue for your partner, but would generally be totally useless for your opponent unless they were thinking in the exact path as you.

[@grapevineforge]

my wife and I were shouting "Tequila Sunrise" at the tv. we were wrong, but felt like that definitely should have been the answer. :D

[@larrye]

This would be a better show if they would bring on other KZbinrs more often.

[@dorothyamador7485]

Justines

[@theGoldenboy111111]

Ambie is beautiful

[@the_luggage]

As always, thanks for the entertainment and for showcasing the game! Well explained, Toby. (Guys, pretend the cameras aren't there!)

[@13shivan]

The fact that you can give bad clues kinda spoils it for me...must try to be sure though

[@jay7a2j]

NEWS is an acronym: North East West South

[@daveseidnergd]

Nope. Plural of "new"

[@sagek1716]

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_false_etymologies_of_English_words

[@gejyspa]

No. No it's not. that folk etymology is a myth.

[@jay7a2j]

Hmm I stand corrected.
