You never know true beauty until you see Earth from space, or true terror until you hear someone knocking on the space station door from outside. You look through the portal and see an astronaut, but all your crew is inside and accounted for. You use the comm to ask who it is and he says he's Ramirez returning from a repair mission, but Ramirez is sitting right next to you in the command module and he's looking just as confused as you. When you tell the guy this over the radio he starts banging on the door louder and harder, begging you to let him in, saying he's the real Ramirez. Meanwhile, the Ramirez inside with you is saying to keep the airlock shut. It really puts life on Earth into perspective.

i barely got away with "aqueduct" for Roman and Duck when i played the other day. memorial should. not have been allowed huh

[@RobinNashVideos]

Like they said at the begginning, the rules vary between groups. Feet is just the plural of foot, so of course it's not allowed. Memorial on the other hand is a word from the same family, but not directly related to memory. Personally, I wouldn't have allowed it, but that's the beauty of tabletop games: you can more or less play however your group wants.

[@RhombusObstacle]

Obviously different groups are gonna play differently, but I'm amazed that it went wholly unremarked from a rules perspective -- at the very least, I would've expected some banter about its suitability as a clue.

[@ZilesFiles]

I love this game! Another valid strategy is to use the number '0' in your clue if you feel stuck because of the assassin card (the black card). Just if you're 100% sure there's a clue that is only valid for the assassin despite that one being really similar to a lot of your cards. This does tell your opponents what the assassin card is, too, but if you have to do this then the similar words likely don't affect the opposing team. I can't remember off-hand if this allows your team to still make 1 guess choice or not, though.

[@dust6371]

you have one extra guess after the number so Maybe? it's not the best strategy though because like you said, it reveals it to the other team unless your team is silent about it

Mmmmh yes, ant parties, my faves

[@loquaciousloser7815]

i love how three prompts in a row had the teams convinced for a while that vet was the answer

[@polarbearsss]

the WHOLE corgi segment had me in tears, so funny, and i absolutely loved all the corgi pictures

[@spiderq848]

1. Thank you for all the corgi pics. 2. That mention of Homestuck punched me in the face and stole my kidneys

Somehow everyone is in the gamer zone - except Brian, who is rocking an artisanal brick wall background. Turns out Brian's gamer space video was a lie.

[@decoratedemergency12]

can we just talk about how Brian said "Just go for it, we're early enough on" and then immediately lost

[@saraha2518]

"That includes non verbal clues" *shot of jenna emoting to the moon*

[@BridgerM]

"a leather door sounds... hot" wtf Simone?

[@mothboy9137]

I support her

[@cwovictor3281]

The ideal BDSM dungeon is one where everything is made of leather. Everything.

[@ekg793]

I was thinking she meant temperature-wise, but I support this new kink

13:16 Now I reeeaaally want a Polygon lets play of the Metal Gear Solid games. Perfect level of weird for each other.

[@mechanicalsalmon]

there are a couple episodes of game ogre where they play mgs!!!!!!

[@pingsanguanshua336]

i love how brian and mari completely forgot that pat can see the cards and told them to pick squash

[@FantasticBlueGirl]

The MGS exclamation points appearing whenever the operatives consider the black card answer was a brilliant choice.

[@Hooples]

Thank y'all for continuing to do this! One of my favorite types of polygon content

[@1elanor6]

the “ice cream” vs. “vet” turn had me on the edge of my seat

[@pliable-head]

I loved this one!! I was SO on Jenna's wavelength; when I saw "saloon" and "swing" right next to each other I immediately said "oh, like, door," and then I was so amazed when that was actually the clue she gave! Aahh Overboard is just my favorite, thanks for another great video gang. Great to see Mari in this too! And omg the mess of an ending! lol ♥♥
