Aaron AND Deborah?! Yessssssssssss!

[@monkeyunit4533]

Came here to say this. Was glad it was already here.

[@tommykokko2336]

Oh man, eyes actually tearred up watching this. This is such a great testament to that things are moving along and life is coming back. Bright times ahead!

[@gaffercat]

Me too!

[@robertbouley7697]

Well said. I was excited from the thumbnail!

[@daisyguevaravo]

That moment when Lincoln said: "Long time no see" to Aaron!!! I felt that y'all, that was so wholesome! Really happy the groups are back together, what a great episode!

[@5ammy13]

That doubled as a joke as well ;-) Clever clever Lincoln :-P

I tell ya... if there was a "love" reaction button... Kudos to Lincoln and Nikki for keeping the show going during lockdown, but it's just not the same without a full table.

you have to give them credit for keeping the torch alight

[@MrNotfiman]

Great to have you guys back at the table.

[@davidarnott4850]

I MISS ALL THESE PEOPLE!!! Also, Aaron's intros are the best.

It's so great, isn't it? If we could be half as entertaining as GameNight, I would feel like we'd have accomplished something great :-)

[@TheNerdShelves]

Yeah, the gangs all back... This is so wonderful to see. I can't stop smiling while watching this, it's like seeing old friends. Thanks to all of you for being a part of our day.... Again.

[@sonyal3212]

YEAH!!!! So excited to see people back playing games together!!!

[@shinjial]

[@Salixalba1000]

I want this game like now!!! Aaron, this play through really brought me joy. Looks like so much fun.

[@zhivik]

This was really great! Most of all, I am so happy that you get to play together in the same room again, it is so refreshing to see that at least part of the world is getting back to normal. And of course, I am overjoyed that you have Deborah and Aaron again, now if only Dave could move back to LA and everything would be perfect :)

[@rebeljonny]

So good to have you all back!!

[@LastCallForShaw.v2]

Lololol. Definitely thought your profile image was an actual piece of hair on my screen. You got me!

[@Sam-vk8xd]

I can always tell that introduction takes a couple of takes, you can see everyone trying to hold back their laugh and Aaron trying to remember everything he wants to say without stumbling 😆

[@boardgamegeek]

Amazingly enough it was the first real go. Two false starts without saying anything and then what you see. Aaron is awesome!-Lincoln

[@AADRisk]

So happy to see all your smiling faces back together again! I’ve really missed this. 🥰

[@MrSkarfacex]

welcome back guys. Missed you all. I watched season 1-8 twice the last 3 months

[@Karakura002king]

OMG it's finally here! And with my favorite Deborah as the first comeback episode as well! 😍😍😍 Glad things are doing well there, we're still struggling badly over on this side of the world but at least seeing this could take our minds off the pandemic for a bit...

[@johns6177]

[@geoffeve2568]

I got goosebumps watching this, so happy to see Aaron as part of the return... yay!!!

[@Xenophiah]

Side note: You need to end your turn in the era that the mission is in to complete it.

[@danielvanrooyen9602]

Yeah that would make a big difference.

[@schoko-fan4370]

New series, new hair color for Nikki. Looks very nice, and thanx for the great episode. I was constantly smiling

[@fvizeus]

First time watching an episode when its released!!! Got to know the channel and watch a ton of episodes at the end of last year And thanks to you guys my board game collection went from 0 to more than 10 in this short time span Can't wait for the next episodes!

[@stevef3663]

I'm only a minute and a half in and so loving this episode. Really like the outtake at the beginning. Good to see all of you again especially Aaron.

[@Jonathan-fw6ty]

Glad we are back! Especially with Deborah!

[@doggyaugie]

this was great, thanks! good to see the gang back together! one note: sometimes it's hard to see the cool player pawns/meeples, maybe in the future they can be laid flat

[@SumSouuthernSugar]

Glad to see the reunion! :-)

So good guys!! Thank you 🙏 🍻💪

[@nappynut]

Hi! Did anyone else get tears in their eyes? Welcome back.

[@msmilder25]

I love the "group think" of this game...so many opportunities for the players to figure out what the ideal move/draw/play is for each player, creating some very interesting decision points.

[@sarahracicot2299]

Yay!!!! You all are awesome, but I really missed Aaron! Hopefully when Dave is back, you can have the OG crew together for a few episodes.

[@gbdomingo]

yehey! congrats on playthroughs!

[@chafedvader]

Ahhhhh In person gaming!!!!! I'm sooooo excited!

I was just flicking through recommendations and saw this. I thought "oh she looks like Deborah Ann Wool. Then they said Deborah and I'm like "surely not" but there it is! And it looks like she is a regular too! I'll be checking out plenty on this channel.

[@lastseer]

Aaron did a fantastic job setting the scene. As much as I'm a veteran role player, I'd probably be more self conscious not because of the audience but the presence of a professional actress and trying to live up to that standard.

[@pixelqube3274]

you know whats better than being back? being back with Deborah :D

[@tiberiusroot]

How exciting to see Aaron and Deborah! Only the fifth musketeer (Dave!) missing...

[@gomezthechimp1116]

Did this version have different rules to later editions? Because the rules for my edition state that your agent has to end up in the era which has a mission with all goals fulfilled in order to complete it.

[@boardgamegeek]

No, you are correct. Aaron missed that in his explanation. Sorry for the confusion.-Lincoln

[@shunster]

Woooooo S9 is back and great to see deborah back as well!

[@punkaholia]

I live in Australia so thankfully lockdowns were rare but I'm so glad to see everything safely opening in America. My heart jumped a mile to see 4 players together again.
