RIP Grant, you were one of the reason why I dove into the hobby

[@yumazster]

He had various hobbies / talents. There is a whole group of people quoting him as inspiration for going into science or engineering, you can read their accounts under various tribute videos. Whatever he was doing, he had a passion and infected others with it. In the Mythbussters show he was my favourite although I couldn't point a finger as to why. Such a loss.

[@middleclassboardgamer]

I looked up this episode to send to a friend hoping to rope him in to playing this game. Completely forgot Grant was in this one (on the thumbnail no less). That dude died way too young.

"Since leaving Mythbusters, Imahara has become a spokesman for McDonald's acting as a "investigator" who answers people's burning question on McDonald's food. He has filmed videos on the production process of Chicken McNuggets, McRib, and McDonald's french fries." Yep I'm going to go cry too.

[@Obstreperous_Octopus]

Matthew Coschel I feel like after the production of each of those McDonald's videos, he goes back to his home and looks at a framed picture of an exploding cement mixer next to his bed. He then sheds a single tear as he drifts of into sleep, where he dreams about science, Buster, and a sword-swinging robot.

[@Hisdudeness9500]

I would have exiled Will as soon as he said he wanted to kill Grant's farmer. Losing actions doesn't really hurt the traitor as they can't do negative actions, only good or neutral ones. Also, on top of morale loss, that was the primary source of food in the scenario that requires a LOT of food. So, if there was ever a traitorous move in the game that was it.

[@WynneL]

Yup, it's really dead giveaway. Wil is entirely too competent to make such a "stupid mistake."

[@menghao737]

Wheaton makes a good traitor because he understands it's much more valuable to cast suspicion on someone else than it is to hopelessly defend yourself against someone who is just gonna say "that's what the traitor would say," to any defense you might offer.

[@kevind.k7512]

doesnt fly all that well in my group, mostly when you start to accuse too early , then it easily gets turned around back at you .... He did good by keeping his tone somewhat jokingly in the first turn , however in our group he`d need to lay off alot more and increase the joking around factor . The reason he got a pass is because he played with two women who kinda look up to him, making it far more likely theyll passively follow him in this , though one saw the limits of that dynamic when he slyly tried to get them to exile Grant...

[@jp4904]

I thought it was pretty transparent, actually. He's never been that good of an actor ;)

[@skyblazeeterno]

i think Wil makes a good traitor as he usually rolls so bad that its hard to expect him to be a good player! His notoriously bad dice rolling HELPED him in the traitor role. I was completely taken in by him

[@SulfurNeon]

skyblaze eterno Well helped his secondary objective of ending the game but it made him lose because he failed to complete his win condition objective.

[@loganb9218]

It isn't even neccessarily that that's the best way to play off being the traitor. As that may not work in some groups, and is a matter of knowing how to play the other players. Mainly it's the fact that thats EXACTLY how we would expect Wil to act if he weren't the traitor. It just seemed so much the way he always plays that I didn't suspect him for a minute. I really suspected Grant, though a big reason for that had to do with his secret objective. The luck of him drawing that objective really helped Wil paint Grant as the traitor.

[@TheInsanityofGab]

Grants face when he said "former host" was painful...

[@jessicathayer3151]

this is one of my favorite table top episodes. Looks like a great game and everyone who played was so fun to watch! Bring these people back.

[@elisore]

it's truelly weird that every co-op game with a defector that Will has played he wins

[@Durfit]

He didn't win.

[@elisore]

Bryan Kral he came real close to winning

[@TheKarmak]

elias garcia Real close to winning but not winning still means he lost. And when victory looks you in the eyes only to be denied at the last possible moment is that much more harder to take.

[@elisore]

i'll give you that, but should i remember you that Will has lost almost every tabletop game but all the games he has won has been mostly co-ops with a defactant and in tis case he ALMOST won he onlly lacked one item.

[@TheKarmak]

elias garcia And because he lacked one item it means his victory conditions were not met, meaning, he lost. I don't see what his previous wins or losses have to do with this. They all played the game and the game beat them. Simple as that.

I don't know how anyone can not know if Wil is the traitor or not. He has NO poker face, and it is SO easy to tell when he is trying to manipulate people. RIP Grant. We're missing you already.

[@UchihaRiku94]

This comment is 2 years old, but I just want to say if you think Wil has no poker face, go watch the episode where they play love letter/coup. When Wil doesn't want you to know what he's thinking, you won't know what he's thinking. The manipulative part...Ill concede to that point. But he does have an excellent poker face.

[@willemverheij3412]

When Wil kept trying to make Grant out to be the traitor, I kind of suspected he did it to draw suspision away from himself. Great game, I like all these guests! They can come back anytime in my book. Hoping to see Ashley Johnson in a new season of Spooked!

"The more you roll" part killed me

4:11 Participants introduction 4:56 Game start

[@brianbernhard1697]

Hearing Grant say FORMER host of Mythbusters break my heart!

[@rainerahlfors]

A couple rules corrections: 1) Crossroads cards - unless stated otherwise on the card, the player whose turn it is makes the sole decision as to which option takes effect. 2) Resolving the crisis - the cards go straight to the discard pile, not into the waste pile. 3) Zombies at the colony - I believe you did not add zombies at the colony during at least one colony phase. 4) It looks like you removed the food token during the turn when the colony was starving. The food token should not have been spent. 5) You cannot give cards (in this case, the medicine). They would need to be requested by the other player. Now, it's possible I'm mistaken on one or more of these ... If so, please feel free to correct me.

[@jcmelon5771]

I spotted number 5. And Can you really discard a card to re-roll a dice?

[@rainerahlfors]

Yes, you can discard (or, play, really) a Junk card to reroll one die.

[@deano2099]

And if a card is requested, you have to use it right away. You can't hold onto it for a victory condition.

[@aug73]

deano2099 noticed that one too

[@jcmelon5771]

Oh yeah, but it's specifically a junk card ability. Yeah ok.

[@thelightningslasher7622]

Hi Mitchell. hehehe

[@TJtheBee]

I think what people forgot while playing and watching this is that Wil's an actor. He knew how to play the table, and even managed to evoke sympathy in a case where, when Grant did the same thing, he got flack and suspicion. Wil *played* that table super fucking well. It was only at the end that one of the other people, another actor, figured out what he was on about, and by that point it was too late. Wil played this off really well, even if he didn't meet his goal.

[@drknights]

This has to be one of my favorite episodes with Grant in it, I love how he calls out Wil at the very end

[@matthewsarson6934]

A little too obvious he was the traitor, you went way too far to try and suggest it was Grant and that just gives you away.

[@maagiapall]

Matthew Sarson I wonder if that's the conclusion you come to once you already watched the episode, because I'm pretty sure everyone looks back at it and thinks the same. But you probably wouldn't have thought of it initially. As someone who doesn't watch these too often, I figured he was just doing the "Grant's the traitor" thing to add entertainment value to the episode. Maybe you could read more into it in a real life game, but not a youtube show

Matthew Sarson He had me completely fooled. He was really good at shifting blame off of himself as a mistake, and then pointing the finger at Grant when he did something. Wil is amazing at being a traitor, and I would never have suspected.

[@matthewsarson6934]

Arakan Shriek I guess the thing that tipped me was he was using the exact same strategy i would use had i been in his shoes. Only he went a little too aggressive on the finger pointing. After all you also need to appear like your not certain and willing to consider alternatives to make you're self appear reasonable and open minded.

[@jayfight1]

Hmm, true. But he also seemed to really get the people he was playing with, since they didn't accuse him very much. Even Grant rarely accused him, thinking that Wil was only thinking for the best of the Colony. Still, overall very well done by Wil :p

[@matthewsarson6934]

Arakan Shriek Yeah i mean in the end i think only Grant actually knew he was the traitor so that's a win. He was just a tiny bit unlucky that he could not pick up that 1 food for the win.

[@zryanz90]

we need an extended version for this!!

[@devildham]

This episode is what got me into not only tabletop games, but into Critical Role and ultimately, into D&D....Thank you Wil.

[@maliasienkiewicz4082]

if you think about it, Grant, was actually right! Am i the only one who definitely knew he wasn't the traitor and Wil was? I mean Wil was pointing fingers everywhere.

[@ericventures2788]

Having the voice of Ellie, in a zombie based game... Perfect :)

[@Flipcrash]

One of my favorite table tops and now I cant see it the same way again. R.I.P. Grant

[@AllieRX]

This was filmed long before Dodger dyed her hair blonde. Just like in the first episode she was in. Came out in 2013, yet she had aqua hair in that episode, even though her hair was red in 2013.

[@xphoenix1234x]

This was definitely filmed between August since Grant mentions here that he's a 'former host' of mythbusters and November The month Dodger got her hair dyed.

[@ok_studios]

Soon we're going to tell the time based on her hair color.

[@zenitramnaes]

You're a loser.

[@xphoenix1234x]

ZenitramNaes Nerd.

[@Ze-Germanzuk]

phoenix_1234 no the OP is real creepy, done some pretty intrusive things in the past.

[@trendane]

Hmmmm. I think they should amend the credits in this episode to say: "Any similarity to actual persons living, dead or undead"

[@Zavendea]

RIP Grant. Always a smile on your face.

[@Matthias-pj6th]

Friendly reminder of Rule #1 in a Zombie Apocalypse: No matter what, you should beware the living, they pose the greatest threat to your continued survival.

[@HolandaChiquita]

I feel so sad for Wil. This was an awesome game, they played really well.

[@garyk2629]

This is one of my favorite episodes of Tabletop. R.I.P., Grant Imahara.

[@erikmartinez1384]

We need an Ashley Johnson and Grant Imahara appearance in every season of TableTop. Please make this a thing. Dodger too.

[@CheshireKyle]

I knew Will was the traitor. I had a gut feeling, just like Ashley!

[@WesMontrose]

At the start Grant basically did the best move possible for the team and he immediately went "A little too good, Grant, what's your angle?" and made it pretty clear he was trying to direct suspicion away from him

[@FilmNoir88]

I knew neither dodger nor ashley were but I had my suspicions about Grant. At the beginning he did an amazing move but made sure everyone knew it; when I'm the traitor I usually wait at least 2 rounds before I start to slowly not help. Unless its a 3 rounder, sabotaging off the bat will get you exiled and not being overtly helpful will cast suspicion onto you. Grant also acted rather shady most of the game including building the barricades way too early, do that on the final round when they might stay up rather than wasting turns early when you still need food

[@TyMarshall007]

she knew it my ass

[@orangeboy155]

You don’t need a gut feeling I knew as soon as will said grant could be a traitor and later in the gamer killed the farmer

[@saberfire2008]

This was a great episode. The players chemistry was perfect. Dodger was adorable.

[@RemyVorender]

WHEEEEEAATTTOOOOONNNN!! Thank you for making these, sir. Purchased this and look forward to working together with...people who were my friends until we started playing Dead of Winter. :)

[@sliceanddicecoat]

+Jeremy Roy because of dead and winter and resistance none of my friends trust me anymore and if the Apocalypse ever hits im the first one dead.

[@DevilboyScooby]

Literally realised who the traitor was just before they revealed it XD Grant did a really good job of acting the traitor the whole way through...

[@Jow121988]

I watched this about a week ago... not knowing Grant had died... I guess that's why it popped up in my recommended... Rest in peace Grant... Your life truly been a wild one!

[@quill9648]

Rest in Piece, Grant Imahara. You were a great man.

[@Keaggan]

One of the best board games ever made.

[@tallicafan85]

just played it today, very confusing

[@Keaggan]

Derek Macdonald First time can be a little over whelming. We missed a few rules but we've played several more times on tabletop simulator and have had a blast. Even tried some expansions. So fun!

[@MrStatistx]

Derek Macdonald I got Crusoe before this and I can tell you that this is way easier and neat.

[@fourdotsYT]

Mistakes: - You can build a *barricade in any vacant spot* anywhere you have a survivor. Incoming zombies will fill *remaining empty slots,* and only when filled will start breaking barricades (in zombie placement order). So _Grant_ should _not_ have been considered acting _suspicious_ by building it in the "wrong" place at the colony. - EVENT cards (Ashley's Outsiders search 37:33) *do not have to be played immediately.* Player's choice in their turn. Event cards just don't go into the waste pile. - New survivors go to the colony unless otherwise stated. Not to the location their card was found. - Grant was *not allowed to give medicine in his turn* to Will. Will _had to request it_ in his turn from other players (the card must be revealed). More importantly, the requesting player *can't keep such cards or contribute them to the crisis...* you *have to play them immediately,* or during the same turn. (//equipped items can only be transferred between survivors that have them equipped at the same location)

[@SharpWalkers]

You should invite Dodger Leigh as often as you can! Just saying.

[@antonioarmenta4238]

I'd LOVE to see the extended version of this

[@ImGeoX]

Technically, when you receive an item card from another player, it has to be used immediately. It cannot be used for the crisis, and cannot be kept in your hand.

[@johnkenneth3602]

Rest in Peace, Grant. May God rest your soul. I will miss you.

[@flint33]

The editing on these is amazing.

[@TarotMage]

At 37:25 Ashley played a "2 Outsiders" card when she didn't have to. This was clarified in the official FAQ. Outsider cards work like any other item card, you may keep them in your hand until you want to play them. You can even request and play these cards into the crisis, just like any other item card.

[@Trombonus]

"F@$% you it's a thing you have to do" is still my favorite line of the entire series so far. XD

[@dude37]

Just played this game for the first time, and we lost. It was an epic loss on the third round because we got boned in the second round when I searched in two different locations and each one was for additional survivors. So we needed six food for the colony, plus food for the crisis card. Our moral went from 7 to 1 in a single turn. Half way into the third round, we realized that we had no chance of getting enough food since once again, the crisis was for food, and just decided to call it a night and accept defeat... Still, it was a blast to play, and will be adding it to the regular cycle of games we play every Saturday night.

[@AndiVx]

+The Dork Knight But how do you lost six of morale in a single turn?

[@JoseLopez-zx6bg]

+The Dork Knight You don't have to play the additional survivor cards if you don't want to, they work like any other item in the game (:

[@dude37]

Jose Lopez I'll keep that in mind the next time we play.

[@BuffaloEdward]

+Jose Lopez well, there is one difference in that survivor cards don't go to the trash after you play them, unlike other consumables. But yeah, if you don't want more survivors, you can just let the card sit in your hand.

[@ultimateninjaboi]

I've now owned this game for about a year, after having watched this. it's honestly one of my favs out of my collection (along with Betrayal at House on the Hill, and Werewolf) and it's been an absolute hit among my friends. seriously. this game is AWESOME. Both as just a game to have fun playing, but also as something with great writing and role play.

[@jacket5456]

what a line up of guests

[@Jagji56]

Unless your in Australia... Then you only know Grant....

[@MaPleWoRlDOrder]

Is Blindspot not available in Australlia? Ashley is a main character in the show at the moment

[@ingeborgmikkelsen9078]

StOcK MaStEr43 she also has a short cameo in Avengers although I doubt people would remember her from there!

[@Diego-lf7dm]

30:30 funniest part ever lol, love this episode

[@iamthenatehawk1537]

the more you roll Jesus I'm dying

[@Frost-cq7sq]

I just stumbled upon this video and as a life time Mythbusters super fan my heart literally stopped when I saw grant in this. Thank you grant for being my hero and inspiring me Rest In Peace 😔

[@ben2741]

Took 3 months for my copy of this game to come in. Very much worth it. Best way to learn which of your friends will become hopeless whiners in a crisis
