The ever so quiet pun by Brittany “they’re duking it out.” 😆

[@L0L_Osi]

Quick note about rules: when challenging a true assassin or declaring falsely a contessa to block an assassination, if the assassinated is revealed to be wrong he must discard one card for the murder and one for the lost challenge! So Spencer should have lost both cards! But at the end of the day Coup is still fun even with these little mistakes!

[@RS7Wes]

Yes but she shouldn't have had 3 coins anyway because her foreign aid turn 1 was blocked

[@yugiwinninglex]

Yes, I saw that and immediately jump to the comment. Also how did she even get 3 coins when she started with 2 only? Really can't stand this mistakes and I thiught the owner shld know better...

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Love how everyone's sad about Jackie's fate while Spencer, built different, comes in with the *"Did you have fun?"* The real reason Azula's coup of the Earth Kingdom went so well was she prepared in advance by playing this board game...she always won because all her opponents were struck by lightning "mysteriously"

[@MR_SteSte]

LMAO

[@Bobal27]

7:16 He lost a challenge, so he loses a card. He also still gets assassinated. He’s out, and that’s why challenging an assassin is sketchy. Faking contessa is the same result if challenged. Assassin is a strong card.

[@ameliarose47]

No, you start with 2 coins, she thought that foreign aid block meant she just had to put the extra 1 back and mistakenly kept the other one instead of discarding both coins.

[@desta7661]

I always have difficulty using the Assassin, as well as captain. Now, I know what to do with the Assassin. Also, just sharing, but I always love using Duke (or doing Tax) because in my friend group it's either no one dares to accuse if someone has no Duke or no one can block Tax and in that case everyone can Tax despite the fact that they don't have Duke.

[@Dexisfree]

@@desta7661 if your coup game doesnt start with everyone declaring duke no matter how many people are at the table and everyone making the joke "while someones gotta be lying here" then ur playing coup incorrectly. Also someone calling the 3rd or 4th person everytime is a banger as well.

[@b_lye]

I never played the game but I am sure you are right.. otherwise assassin is a useless card

[@metallsnubben]

@@b_lye And mindgame-wise it's so cool: you have the three options - take the hit, call out their assassin, claim contessa - 2 of which can result in instant double kill. And claiming contessa you can pretty much only do _right_ away super confidently (unless you actually have it and you're just that good at faking doubt) cause otherwise it's gonna be easy to call out. Maximum stakes bluffing

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

With Spencer leading the emus, the Australian government will be overthrown in no time. Spencer is love, Spencer is life. He is an honorary Supreme Leader in our book

[@palmtree1958]

I, an Australian, second this entirely

[@Snarl_Marx]

Always *always* keep the Embassador card. Trust me, it's the most OP. It also provides a nice safety net if you're nervous about or bad at lying lol

[@jemcarstairs8479]

What's fun is when you get the extention pack, which includes allegiances and the Inquisitor card. The Inquisitor has the same function as the Ambassador, but you can either choose the deck, OR look at another person's card and choose to swap. It also allows for more players. So glad you guys played this, this is one of my favorite games!

[@LMR23]

This group is great. Brittany did fantastic. Spencer and Jackie were in their own world doing their own thing.

[@brettbutler4013]

If you challenge an assassin and fail. Both you're cards die. The first from the assassin's kill and one for the failed attempt. Love the vid

Damn, if Tommy played more aggressively towards the last two, he could've won. Tommy managed to avoid the first Contessa Brittany had, and Amanda probably wanted to put pressure on Tommy to avoid getting killed by him. The last three players were crazy

Yes! More games like this! I've always liked watching the games that make the players have to think a bit more and play more risks. I'd also love to see more big board games. Betrayl at house on the hill is my favourite to watch.

[@LorrdiRockz]

"I'm sure that people don't remmember it" LOL

[@Jerry4281]

@7:12 in the rulebook it legitimately states that calling out a challenge with an Assisan is game over, you lose 1 card for challenge you lose another since she was not lying so the assassination goes through

[@VictoryMan-cj1ry]

6:49 when Spenser blocked the foreign aid, that meant that the money had to go back, so the assassination wasn’t possible

[@edenandnahas63]

What I like about this game is that you can lie on the card you have. You can say you have no duke when you need to reveal but you actually have one!

[@kobeangelesdamelio]

If you get assassinated and you’re wrong when you kill someone, that’s a double kill and you lose both lives

[@emchammer1831]

Possibly the first time I have ever seen an entire table not claim the Duke on the first turn. WILD

Wild, did you know that KZbin has a new feature on mobile where if you drag to scroll the time, a graph comes up to show the most replayed parts of a video and it even says "✨Most Replayed✨" when you drag over the most popular part of a video? I learned this because I searched "brittany smosh try not to laugh" and scrolled through the top result like everyone else who wanted to see that clip did, lol.

If you challenge an assissination and are wrong, you lose one card plus the assissination still happens so your actually risking everything

Also these Dukes really need to remember they're allowed to take 3 coins, that's the whole appeal of having a Duke lol

Unfortunately I am a Garnet...*insert something cool starting with G here* not an Amethyst Angel.

If you challenge an Assassin and lose than you lose one card for the challenge and the assassin kills the other card.

[@wigglyennui]

whoever did the subtitles kept putting tommy's name as tyler 😭😭

[@ryokot4]

If you challenge an assassination attempt and they ARE an assassin you loose one influence for the failed challenge and then you loose your second influence from the assassination.

[@gmny2161]

Heads up, if you challenge an assassin and lose you are supposed to lose both cards, as one kill from the assassin goes through and the challenge kill counts as a second. Besides that mistake great job and great video

[@SecondAftermath]

I haven’t played Coup in so long that I forgot about it until this video! A great game. I’m so happy to see Brittany again- she really did have the best TNTL joke p much ever

[@SpocksCat]

When Spencer revealed he had a Duke, he should have switched his card out for a new one, instead of holding onto it and everyone then knowing he had a Duke. Also, Shayne shouldn't have lost a card for his assassination attempt being blocked by a Contessa.

[@ElsieMJoseph]

I absolutely love coup im so glad they prayed this

[@swedishscout95]

Coup is a great game, my favourite of all time. They didn't play it exactly correct though. In the first round since the foraign aid got blocked and Spencer had a Duke, she would have had to put the coins back. Secondly if you call someone out for not having an assassin when they do, you lose both cards, one because of the assassination and one from accusing incorrectly. Otherwise there is no reason not to call someone out when being assassinated.

[@Dakarai_Knight]

I love that they played my favorite card game

[@rmannayr2129]
