I'm so happy for y'all. Everything looks good!! *cheers* to a new chapter! 😀

[@Ragan31687]

So anyway you can have the cards pop up like this version on the uncut version over on Patreon? I was missing that watching over there.

We demand British Blair!

[@DoomguardKino]

Sully as the blushing bride and Tom as the Tick-Tock. You won't get more perfect aliens the next time you guys play this.

[@glumbortango7182]

I don't know, casting Laurie as the Hate made for quite the perfect fit

[@beastunleashed657]

@@glumbortango7182 also Adam as the loser 🤣

[@unexpected2475]

Tom played Masochist fantastically as well.

[@matroqueta6825]

Blair as the friendly parasite was perfect too

[@kaede_yuki]

Tom wasn’t as terrifyingly overtaking as TikTok

[@jamesmullen2231]

Tom's "interjections" are pure comedy gold, while also being deeply disturbing.

[@harveyholmes9533]

‘I was really shipping those two… what a shame’ was weirdly ominous

[@RandomPerson-nd2ey]

That alien race was perfectly played by him.

[@thewingedporpoise]

@@harveyholmes9533 personally it was absolutely wrecked me with laughter as it was a culmination of all the creepy and disturbing things about Tom with the music and he just says something fairly normal

[@exodia1510]

.....Was that a successful comment?

[@harveyholmes9533]

The gaming table is worth every penny just for the sound of Tom’s tokens falling in the cup holder

[@NoRollsBarred]

LAURIE: The tink in the tinkler

[@harveyholmes9533]

@@NoRollsBarred sorry for not using the technical terms

[@Ryvaken]

They really overplayed it. Yes, we know, get on with it, you insufferable wanker, and no I am not above making you eat those tokens.

[@TheGamblingisgood]

Hey NRB. Was this a successful video? *plink*.

[@Kings_Quest]

Tom is freaking hilarious " I was really shipping those two, what a shame. "

[@laurabrewes1422]

Adam's cackle at Sully revealing he's the Bride is the laugh of a man who knows what is about to happen and is gleefully waiting for Jon's reaction.

[@JoeNeroWest7]

This game was incredible. I see why Adam loves it. Wouldn't mind this being another monthly series. Best part had to be Adam saying "he's my husband and I have a terrible feeling we're going to win this together" Then Sully immediately says "here's the thing Adam, it's over. I'll take half hour cards." 😂😂

[@Ygt-x8o]

Everyone:Tom your character is so scary. Tom:What character?

[@Thelunawolf731]

He's the perfect tick tock because he knows how to make all the rest really panic about it😏

[@e7venjedi]

"He's my husband, and I've got a terrible feeling we're going to win this together." "Here's the thing... Adam, it's over." X'D omg my sides are hurting I love this show. P.S. Blair's "I would never lie to you was absolutely adorable, completely wholesome, and creepy as hell all at the same time. XD

[@adamhall5802]

Love the little skits with them talking to the camera one on one. Lots of fun. Also I felt genuinely bad for the Parasite after being divorced. Poor ugly creature just wanted to be loved.

[@JonGracey69]

thank you! Just because we eat poo doesn't meant we're not deserving of a space bride

[@JonGracey69]

oh my god I keep getting parasite and zombies mixed up ffs

[@coupdq9race16]

Tom is very sinister but the fact that he is called the Tick-Tock, which is also the place I go to see guys in maid dresses do dances... it slightly undermines his aura.

[@TheOneWhoReportsForDuty]

The ring of the Tick Tock is so damn tense, makes me want the game so much.

[@CosmicUtube]

Who would think that the "UNIVERSE GAME" which we dreamed up in 1972 would actually evolve into a portal whereby myriad aliens actively possess humans. This Let's Play COSMIC ENCOUNTER video is proof - we have meet the aliens and they are us.

[@raygunner8643]

Sully absolutely played Adam in the colony deal. Brilliant.

[@damonokami8770]

Jon is really great at these parody interviews

[@JonGracey69]

[@Scarbearer]

Holy crap! I don't know if you could possibly have asked for a more amazing example of Cosmic Encounter for your first in person Board Game Club. That was amazing and made me immediately want to bust out my copy and play!

[@kittycat604]

OMG the grin on my face when you did the introductions, to see you all together, face to face, it's joyous Blair, 58:50, you are a queen!!! what a legend

[@richmccann2052]

That was amazing!!! When Adam offered a colony for cards and Sully was like "I am going to end this marriage and this man's career" was one of the best moments this week! Fun fact I just played Cosmic Encounter for the first time this weekend. Loved it. When you shuffle the discard back in don't you Cosmic Quake and everyone gives their cards back and all draw a new hand of 8? That is how my rules read but my version looks a bit different than Adam's copy.

[@Whitebeardcrewmate]

Cosmic Quake is in the 42nd anniversary edition rulebook, it came from an expansion, and was added in this later edition

[@McBawse]

Cosmic Quake is when both the deck and discard are empty, essentially it's very rare and could only happen if there were tons of cards in everyone's hand.

[@dylanprew]

CONFESSION CUTS! HOLY SHIT THAT'S THE BIGGEST DEBUT OF THE WEEK! Love the work guys this video was great!

[@atticusshadowmore3263]

That final battle felt so epic with how the table was evenly split, and everyone going all out, contributing all the stuff they could.

[@jmwisey01]

Sully gets stick for been lucky, but he played this game beautifully.

[@kingleong8593]

I've never even heard of this game before but I've just seen the first play and man, Sully made off like a bandit. Yeah, he lost a planet but he gained 4 cards and Blair sent a pretty strong armada as well? I assume 23 is strong, so she just lost a strong card on top of 4 randos.

[@Lynch2507]

Adam going "Welcome to Board Game Club" giving me real William Regal " WAR GAMES" vibes

[@Thelunawolf731]

So glad to see you all in the same room and we appreciate you doing this for us.. my hat goes off to you NRB crew!!!💕

[@nick-playercharacter8583]

Yeah, I ain't sayin' Sully's a gold-digger, but he ain't messin' with no broke amoeba.

[@JonGracey69]

amazing

[@paulmoran7130]

Holy s*** one minute in and I am s******* my pants on how excited I am.

[@birkenfeldjohn]

Love, love love NRB....don't ever stop playing!!! Watching friends playing is sooooo much fun!

[@00pugsly48]

I only found this channel recently and I’ve been binge watching since. And this has cemented it as my favourite KZbin channel. Great video guys this was lots of fun Spoiler: Sully’s betrayal of Adam was so brutal and brilliant, the highlight of the video 😂

[@albertocanali1786]

Probably one of the best and more entertaining videos I have ever seen. Surprising marriages and divorces, Adam self distructing and Tom giving an extraordinary performance. I can't wait for the next episode and I will buy this game for sure as soon as possible

[@stevesixtyfour9297]

So glad they did the skits. I don’t know if it was inspired by Blind Wave but if doing anymore Zoom board games I’d love to see a collab with Aaron, Rick, Eric and Calvin on NRB

[@mkebza83]

I am only 4 minutes into this video and already crying. Seeing you being able to sit together in person in this wonderful studio just gives me all the feels

[@gabrieloliveiro645]

Hey NRB team, I’m really glad I watched this cosmic encounters let’s play. I watched a let’s play back in 2018 (when I was first getting into the hobby) and I thought it was too complicated. I’m glad you’ve proved me wrong and can’t wait to play this with my board game group after lockdown here in Australia.

[@Veggieman87]

Oh, sheesh, y'all, IRL BGC from NRB! I have never wanted to play Cosmic Encounter more than I have after watching this!

[@jasonkenneally6236]

LOVE in-person board game club! Mid-game confessionals are the best!

[@joathomas5303]

So got a puppy today and put this on and he just loves Adam and sullivan whenever they speak he just instantly watches

[@Streamcast]

This has been a perfectly chaotic game, I could not stop laughing at Sully and Tom's antics 🤣 I think I'm gonna get this game

[@lukerobertson4557]

Man, Cosmic E is such a great game with the right group! And this group was all time.

[@iamlegend8103]

Best uncut steady cam intro since Goodfellas

[@LIA-52]

55:51 In our games of CE (including all expansions) we expand the negotiatory rules to include basically anything one can do/have for the other even outside CE.

[@Ktubbs023]

When Adam said "I like Blair, that's mean"

[@MisterBigPip]

Anyone else been waiting desperately for this since the Masterpieces video?

[@dmillzproductions2593]

That opening killed me. Love the Star Wars shout when playing a game about aliens and space domination

[@HORRORBOISHA]

I NEED THIS GAME

[@joeypapiri5317]

U guys are golden....truly a good time watching this crew especially in person!! Love the channel gentleman and lady!

[@AhxQ8GA6]

That was a phenomenal game! Loved watching every second of that! So keen for live board game club!

[@georgebartrum]

Finally what i wanted sine the channel started

[@DEM441]

Great episode, so good to see you all together! Is it just me that imagines a 1960's batman style transition every time the be right back card comes up. I'd love to see a spinning NRB logo some day!

[@BurningBrightly]

Well instead of my husband and me playing a board game ourselves today, we're enjoying the NRB crew playing this. We really enjoyed all your online games too but very fun to see you guys play in RL finally. Have fun with it! (and awesome edit work)

[@conormceniry1844]

Tom was simply born to be The Borg!

[@markdennison1524]

Well done NRB, I was really impressed by this. Loving the studio, and the gameplay, the group of mates, the pacing of the game, this was a pleasure to watch.

[@Ragan31687]

How perfect is it that Tom was the Tick Tock. Too good

[@Voycey19]

Felt sooo good to see everyone in the same room. The skype stuff was awesome but this just gives us so much normalcy back its comforting. Cant wait to see more guys :)

[@bitscholar577]

This was such a roller coaster from start to finish. This game jump started my board game collection and it's so fun to see other people have a good time playing it.

[@linzeebee]

HOW MUCH FUN WAS THIS?!?!?!!?

[@chrisbyrne3937]

This was absolutely fantastic. I NEED Dead of Winter with this exact group of people!

[@lexsellsmerch3512]

Villainous back there behind Laurie teasing me. Patiently waiting like the Tick-Tock for it to be featured in an episode of BGC

[@helgecko]

Villainous is a good game, but there isn't enough player interaction in it to make for a great BGC game, in my opinion...

[@andrewnrbarnes]

First patreon I’ve ever subscribed to

[@NoRollsBarred]

Thanks! It means a lot to us!

[@charlesberg1234]

Holy shit! They are together. Hooorayyy!!!!

[@NoRollsBarred]

WE HAVE LEGS!!!!

[@GRLidstone]

I would happily go for a game 2 of this. Really enjoyable watch and the game is excellent as well

[@misslexie5796]

Keep playing this all the time I love it

[@agentxorangexskies]

Tom remembering all the rules of his species really just drives in the knife of the knowledge that I've played four standard tiefling characters and never once used Hellish Rebuke.

[@JasonJeffory]

I really hope this same group plays Cosmic again! This was gold!

[@alexandrecarvalho7591]

I want this one again!!!!!

[@pozeidon31]

awesome game! loved the video and CE is also my favorite game! Love the format of the video as well! Reminds me of Wil Wheatons Tabletop videos. RIP. Anyway, Subscribed!

[@linkesh188]

I start to love boardgames because of this channel thanks guys

[@craighadley]

That was so much fun! Twists, turns and a lot of tinkling.

[@gazbanana7151]

Congrats NRB on the set and this game looks so fun to play!

[@totalnerd2180]

God I would love to play boards games with this group

[@mglobemaster2904]

Highly reminiscent of the wonderful "Tabletop" series from Will Wheaton. I thoroughly enjoyed all of those and this one is on par. Keep it up!

[@martinteece8983]

Also the idea of side but at the end of each little battle was cool. I also want a book published for these glorious battles eg little image of 34 ships saying down to kisstopia and a tiny white flag

[@staplegun4995]

This was great!!! Really loving the direction this is going in for the channel

I AM THRILLED! Take all my money What a dream job you all have here

I love this game, played the other day with friends, and it's bonkers every time.

This was such a fun game!!!! That bride card was a delight 😊

[@skyemitchell909]

I absolutely loved this!! So entertaining and fun and now I want to get and play cosmic encounter with my family.

[@matthewbrown3240]

Tom is officially my favorite now after the Fresh Prince rap and now Tick Tock

[@stevecustodio2919]

This is so great. So happy it's finally here

[@dancingrabbit6942]

I like how this basically turned mid-game into who is the biggest leach

[@WarEagle1023]

1:08:44 There is no god now that Blair is crying!

[@Rockinrolla21]

Everything about this is incredible, such a great job!

[@reido82]

Loving seeing it in person, and keeping the bants. I would like to note that the few seconds of "be right back" keep popping up isn't needed and feels disjointed like we've missed something. Taking it out wouldn't ruin the flow at all.

[@KukaBuka]

I was looking to see if anyone else noticed this. It just seemed weird and unnecessary. Everything else was perfect though!

[@MrSkerpentine]

We all know that this isn’t real. All of them are just green screened in. Jokes aside, I’m glad to see this show finally take the form it was supposed to have before *current events* ruined the plans. I do wonder if maybe the online / virtual games could still be a series for friends / family that are over seas or can’t visit each other for other reasons, but I’ll gladly accept this as the replacement!

[@maaggiied2554]

Secret hitler in person is going to be sooooo amazing
