Johnny has incredibly expressive eyes when he's giving clues to the audience

[@JimmyH7391]

Johnny giving stressed eyes right down the camera is an energy I find highly relatable

[@abydosianchulac2]

"He's English." "Oh, is he?" *Johnny questions all his life choices*

[@tabbycat2452]

Oh. I'd like to see this one again. Something about the puzzling out (while Johnny shakes his head) is so entertaining.

[@aclevercat83]

That view into the chaos that is Alex's thinking was both fascinating and terrifying. 😆

[@nathanabel8169]

She scares me.

[@revo1verrock]

When Wheels is giving clues he talks makes jokes etc., when its Johnnys turn 'Its great when he can't talk'

[@NisansaDdS]

As a history nerd, I love this!

[@WilCornish]

“Don’t you have a thing with Skulls” Lolies you’ve confused Johnny and the Blood God, again.

[@jefferycrouse4652]

He's more a Nurgle boy what with all the skaven he has

[@lavenderwalrus9875]

@@jefferycrouse4652 scaven have thier own chaos god actually so neither nurgle nor khorne

[@jefferycrouse4652]

@@lavenderwalrus9875 oh is that what the Great Horned Rat is? I'm pretty naive when it comes to Warhammer lore

[@lavenderwalrus9875]

@@jefferycrouse4652 yeah the great horned rat used to just be a scaven god but with the switchover from fantasy to age of sigmar he got "promoted" to be a full chaos god and scaven are now offically a choas faction , whereas before they were sort of just alligned with themselves

[@little-earth-star6]

Alex and Wheels at 9:40 fully taking advantage of the fact that Johnny can't speak 🤣

[@coyoteartist]

Pocahontas was a bit of a complicated case. She was the daughter of the paramount chief of Tsenacommach, but she wasn't in line actually to inherit anything as succession when through the chief's brothers and sisters first and on to the heirs of the eldest sister. So on one hand she was of "nobility" but also not after a fashion

[@wouterpoll1264]

Just a simple comment. I genuinely loved this.

[@alexrichardson425]

Would love to see more of this

[@shawnheatherly]

Fables is definitely easier than the historical theme, but I quite liked this.

[@rustumlaattoe]

The art on those cards are gorgeous...

[@alexcannon-microdot]

Mary Shelley is mostly famous for writing 'Frankenstein.'

[@interregnum_]

The history one, if nothing else, will make clear both how little everyone in your circle paid attention in school and what their inherent biases about past political figures are, so...this feels like one to break out for Christmas.

[@ladyicondraco]

I'd never heard of this game before this video, now I really want to play it!

[@frodothedodo]

This actually looks really fun!

[@tigerstarshadowclan2967]

Have you ever played paranoia, or friendly computer. I'm not sure which is the actual name. You play as a troubleshooting clone.

[@DreadWulfie]

This was really fun and I think I'll get these. The only problem someone would have playing either version is if they don't really know they're fable/fictional fairy tale characters or historical figures.

[@elafimilo8199]

That would only be a problem if you mixed the two decks. Which would probably be a fun variant.

[@DreadWulfie]

@@elafimilo8199 It could be a problem just as is if someone isn't as knowledgeable about the characters/people in the cards but the one giving the clues does. If they decide to use unifying factor like them being from the same country and a person doesn't know where some of them are from, then it's a problem that can cause them to lose. Not saying it's a major issue in any way just that it can cause problems depending on your level of knowledge of these characters and historical figures that can't be visually deducted.

[@MrRussw23]

Looks like a nice quick game to play at the pub. Be fun to see you stream it at somepoint. Also are we getting more painting streams soon?

[@Nathanyel]

0:12 oh, the title card was loose in the purple pack, I first thought it has some kind of 3D effect :D

[@fingersmaster]

12:30 Marie-Antoinette, French? Are you sure? She was the Queen of France but she was Austrian.

[@marksdicetales]

id hope you where gonna play the combined version i picked up history for xmas and it was a hit got fables in the new year not played it yet though

[@camerontgore]

Cinderel-later!

[@nightcatarts]

This looks good, but it seems like the history one becomes more difficult the more you know about history, & that sort of might cause a problem for the probable target audience.. I suppose you could house rules it & say you're only going by the art before you begin though.

[@theodorepinnock1517]

Technically, Newton was Jewish, not English.

[@JimmyH7391]

Why not both?

[@theodorepinnock1517]

@@JimmyH7391 Well, they're both ethnic groups. Though, it's entirely possible, I suppose, that he was part English part Jewish.

[@theodorepinnock1517]

@@JimmyH7391 Hang on, some brief research, it appears I was misinformed. Apparently he was Anglican, but very influenced by Jewish religious views.

[@JimmyH7391]

@@theodorepinnock1517 fair. The reason I pointed it out is that the notion of 'Jewish' being a nationality (rather than an ethnicity or belief system) is something that gets used against Jews a lot to suggest they don't belong within a nationality. I don't think that's what you meant, but I felt the need to pipe up. It's not a case of being British OR a Jew, one can just be a British Jew. Obviously an individual can consider their Jewishness to be part of their national identity but that would their business.

[@theodorepinnock1517]

@@JimmyH7391 Oh yes, I agree. I would distinguish between English and British though - Scots are Brits, but I don't think there's a single one who wouldn't rip you a new one if you said they were English.

[@moz7677]

I've bought games based on you guys fabulous representation and hilarious reviews, I've made my family play them, at the point you try to force your gender ideology nonsense on me as a person I lean towards unsubscribe, please.. And I am begging you.... Just deal a random pack of cards and deal a random hand.... Don't make it more political than the game was based on. It's chance .... Not constructed 🙄

[@josephcuncarr9246]

lol, piss off

[@dstruidor]

@@josephcuncarr9246 to this I agree, it was their opinion don't make it more political than the comment was based on.

[@varunchaturvedi2581]

Okay, that was NOT what I was expecting when I started reading this comment.

[@varunchaturvedi2581]

To be fair to you, though, I don't think there are many people who *liked* it when they (Dicebreaker) made a deck with just 3-4 male characters after having just talked about gender balance. It's just that most people choose to not talk about that, because the rest of the video was quite fun.
