Most surprising thing about this video was that there's a group of 4 British people who haven't been to Spain in the last 10 years.

[@Alonzi.]

We're like fungi, we spread to Spain like spores

[@simoncampbell-smith6745]

Never been and never really wanted to do.

This episode we got: - Shaved Dom - Laurie "with Hat" Blake - Dyed Hair Holly - and the Joyful Firework of a Man, Sully This is gonna be a GREAT episode!!!

[@thompsonnoel]

That map is specifically designed to piss off the highest number of spaniards 😂😂😂😂

[@maxis5427]

I'm not even spanish and when I saw the map I was like "Wait I minute..." and starting to notice the missing regions or the inaccuracies with borders. Tbh at some point I tought that maybe was set in a precise historical moment and starting at looking at maps of spain during the centuries but nope, it's just a weird looking map. Game still looks enjoyable.

[@DanielLuisFC]

And Portuguese people! They took a huge chunk off northeastern Portugal

[@TheMentorOfMomos]

If you're used to map tabletop games you know those maps are very wonky 🤣

[@christianstill3252]

I hope this game gets played more in the future! Just a quick rule correction: castillo is scored AFTER a region is picked with secret disc, as players should rely on their memory of the guys inside the tower. Gives it an extra spin of suspense

[@irishmakbeth]

Im watching this from Spain, in andalusia on andalusia day listening to sully explain andalusia to holly.

[@JJSSBU]

Mood (a week late but I feel it)

hearing the way he says caballeros is hurting my soul

Teri is one of the funniest people on the internet. You cannot change my mind.

She's basically the Statler and Waldorf of NRB.

The Dom-iciliation

[@Cosmic_Gorilla]

I can relate deeply to Dom here, as someone who will also spend an entire game kneecapping another player at my own expense over some petty dispute.

[@billmiller5722]

Even years later, whenever anybody says "to show you just how much fun board gaming can be" I still hear in my head "... Even under the effects of lockdown!"

[@evo_is_confused]

I love Holly's hair!!

[@amymason5713]

It's so good. The colour and the waves are just lovely on her.

[@iamdavejohnson]

It really works for her.

[@OrloxPhoenix]

I find funny how Laury pronounces castillo perfectly but not caballero 😂

[@ICHBinCOOLERalsJeman]

Dom is all I need, but having Laurey try to pronounce "Hans im Glück" has to be a close second.

[@eridanuskelpi3908]

It will never not be hilarious to hear English speakers pronounce any Umlaut oder ch-Varieties 🤣

[@whippy-dz1bc]

i have been really enjoying Laurie as host recently.

[@Karlosdjackle]

As an Irishman, I demand more Irish accents from Sully. One of the best Irish accents on KZbin lol

[@joshuasavage1128]

Second time asking, but we need a girls only nemesis playthrough, the personalities of all the ladies on this channel would make it wonderfully chaotic… please make it happen

[@iamkeri_]

Perfect idea for Women's Day in March 😃😃

[@jacegarcia3255]

YES!!! If they ever do this, it NEEDS to have both Molly-Rose AND Tegan

[@alexbrooke1840]

This is wild but get Teri involved as well!

[@RenewedRS]

Disagree. Every video needs Dom or Sully.

[@iamkeri_]

Holly, Blaire, Tilly, Tegan, Molly Rose, Teri. What an episode it would be. WILD!!!! I pinged them on Twitter for good measure. Let's see if the overlords harken to the peasants.

[@jacopobani565]

I really like how colourful this game is. Btw I'm only noticing right now that the single-person interviews in between phases of the games have disappeared. I really liked those

[@jonofpdx]

I liked them as well. They're a great vehicle for the comedy. Disappointing to see them go.

[@Tribdinosaur]

Yaaaaaaaay new NRB episode I just finished watching Call of Cthulu on Chaotic Neutral, and then I watched Honey Heist, I was hungry for more new Board Game Club stuff

[@Gathanokos]

This has been my Top10 games since...like a decade. Awesome to see it in my favorite board game KZbin channel XD

[@hannahawesome85]

LET'S GO, IT'S BOARD GAME CLUB TIME! GET ON BOARD!!!

[@inquisitivegentleman]

That intro is pure Gold! I rewatched it several times now. Man that gave me a good laugh.

[@justelliot4870]

Hearing Laurie pronounce "caballeros" is painful lmao

[@dajusta87]

So cringe

[@fabiosamuco2561]

sounds like he's trying to say Cabelereiro (Portuguese for Hairdresser)

[@dvictorbrown]

Dom is one of the main reasons I keep returning to NRB. Of course the whole cast are charming in their own ways and I am very grateful for the wonderful content! Cheers folks, from this Cincinnati queer. Dom, if you're ever in Cincinnati, let's get some hot wings and play Stratego. ;)

[@danielhewett3606]

Great game! I have the german copy so im not sure if the rules are different but i believe youre supposed to select a secret province before you reveal whats in the castillo.

[@jaymarkle2444]

Best thumbnail in NRB history

[@iamkeri_]

LOVING Holly's hair!!! Getting ready for the BoTC in person shoot? 😉

[@firstkeepitreel]

Have the jokes recently been getting more adventurous or did I just fail to notice the older ones? Oh… well there was the horse-

[@chocobosage]

Both?

[@AM-we1es]

Also the entirety of the wanking episode

[@Perzyn]

I have a name for you to check - Diamant. See that episode if you didn't or don't remember it and judge whether or not older stuff was not adventurous.

[@benjaminrosa1418]

As a spaniard, seeing how you're playing a game based on Spain, i'm gonna be veeeeery into detail into how you pronounce spanish places and terms, and other comments about Spain.

[@lexicornfell7361]

I respect that. As an overly pedantic Scot, I had great fun critiquing Holly's Scottish accent last week. If they ever play Clans of Caledonia I will be sitting with my notebook at the ready.

[@tomzitiger]

As a norwegian, i know that englishers will never ever pronounce norwegian words remotely close to correct, so i give up.

[@alexandermoraywilliams5833]

I'm pretty sure that the player who makes the lowest bid in a round starts the next bidding round

[@Steev42]

Yeah, they fix that after a little bit.

[@zer0s3dation35]

I have to say right out of the gate, both Holly's hair and shirt are amazing!

[@GreenMirage001]

How you can pronounce Castillo correctly but not Caballeros is driving me insane

[@russp1870]

So good to see Holly again, and also the hair is amazing!!

[@remraf1984]

Ooh looks similar to "the king is dead" , with some extra mechanics Nice to see a non party game on BGC 😊

[@jordon5491]

I literally just bought this game yesterday and am so hyped for it to arrive and then I see my favorite gaming channel upload this? LETS GO BOYS

[@ChristopherFawbert]

That’s a nice little game.. easy set up, not too many rules and relatively quick.. thanks for the play through

[@im_living_dead]

You can see this was end of the day filming, Dom is not at his full power 😂

[@sergalez1.06]

As a spanish im really surprised about how they missed the pronunciation of every single word of the game. Still a great video

[@HenryLeGrand]

Cabalero 😢

[@sergalez1.06]

Yeah, and el castiyio

[@DevoidLight]

Today you learned that people who don't know a language don't know it.

ITS TH BEST TIME OF THE WEEK!!! ITS BOARD GAME CLUB!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@ChronoMager]

BOARD GAME CLUB! Loving you all playing a meatier game!

[@bulldozeprime2345]

Really love the work you guys do! I wouldn't mind if the funniest bit from the episdoe didn't show up at the beginning I think it makes it less enjoyable to see later on.

[@helgecko]

They do that to capture new people who might be curious what these videos are like. I always skip those bits to enjoy them in context 😊

[@fabiosamuco2561]

Love how Portugual got reduced to a Round counter LMAO.

[@StuartCGadgetRev]

Brilliant episode! Made me laugh out loud!

[@virgilalighieri7192]

So happy you all are doing El Grande. There's been quite a few party games in a row. Which is fine, I'm sure they get engagement. But I personally prefer these quieter, more thinky episodes which highlight how the games work more than the bits. Don't get me wrong, I love bits. But there's only so much shouting I can take lol.

[@ErnestKovalski]

What an introduction! 😅😅😅

[@natemorse8047]

That intro is why Teri is my spirit animal.

[@tzaandor]

An area control game riddled with historical inaccuracies and game pieces mostly consisting of wood or cardboard? That's like, my entire taste in boardgames and it looks great 🥳

[@nicolasl]

"It's where I'm from!" 🤣

[@AlexusMaximusDE]

Oh no.. is he going to say cabaLLero for the whole video?

[@whatchachattin]

people would complain if they pronounced it in spanish tbf

[@SadPizza4591]

I'm glad to see you play actual board games rather than party games. Hope you keep working your way to more complex games.

[@matthewzahnzinger]

Such a charming little game! Given how well it played with this group, I wonder if they might try Rattus some time down the road-similar area control with some extra twists and little character powers that can be claimed and stolen throughout the game.

[@housecaldwell]

A "5 Guys" reference? Wow - I first went to 5 Guys before they were a chain. Amazing to hear them referenced in a UK show!

[@danielbilik9282]

Literally today I was like, I wish nrb played el grande

[@MrssxTv]

They done Portugal dirty making It Spain turn tracker xD

[@agusti92]

Au contraire! This way Portugal is finally relevant for something! joking, joking :D

[@alexshallard7483]

This game seems to have a very bad case of “I know I’ve lost half way into the game but if I stop trying it’ll ruin the game for everyone else” syndrome. Games like this are just asking for king making and checking out

[@keithparker1346]

I think the game is too long for what it is

[@mistriousfrog]

The card that scored all first place regions seems absurd. It basically reads if you are currently winning the game, your opponents can no longer win.

[@AndreaVarnier]

At 42:50 Laurie was not allowed to move his Grande from Aragon, since that was the King's Region. I think 🤔 Anyway this video is great and I bought the game right away! Thank you

[@martinteece8983]

WANT Terri to be on screen for a game it be cool since her naughty thoughts are always funy

[@lexsellsmerch3512]

It’s not every day on BGC that there’s such an overwhelming blowout for the win. Halfway through the game, Holly’s lead was already insurmountable. Goddamn

[@JonE335]

I AM SO FREAKIN PUMPED FOR JAWS NEXT WEEK! I'm seriously hoping that someone is wearing a shark onesie.

[@whocares2277]

With "Offensive" (28:50), do you have to move all from and to the same region? If not, Dom could have taken second place in 5 regions (moving 3 from Toledo and one from Galicia to Sevilla, Granada, Valencia, Cataluna, placing one in Toledo). ~15 points instead of 6, plus 10 from Galicia (well, 4 after someone else moves in).

[@diamondbandit8385]

Nice to see the voice of Slambo Wilkins making an appearance in Board Game Club 😂😂

[@TeodoroJansen]

Awesome idea: come and visit Spain! Let me know and I'll do a walking tour (only in downtown Barcelona, the rest is up to you!)

[@user-gg3ne2qp5y]

Looks like a fun game, always enjoy watching the new videos. Really excited to see you play Jaws next week. I am wondering who will play the shark.

[@flabreque]

They’re gonna need a bigger board.

[@TailsFiraga]

Wasn't sure if I'd be sold on this game at first, but who am I to doubt El Grande?

[@pipershields4051]

Love Holly's hair!!! ❤❤❤

[@seantibbs5459]

Here is a game you guys can play it’s called Dinosaur Island and it’s a decent game that you can try

[@wesrey]

Hi, Dom.

[@wolfVFV]

16:00 i disagree with that ruling i would say sully could still put the kings region in as the region he wants to remove guys from but he cant remove from them so he jsut keeps them all

[@ezracohen6020]

That feels like the equivalent of allowing you to pick a region you’re not part of, they decided to not include regions that you can’t remove pieces from and I think that’s fair

[@WierdLegoDinosaur]

Straight out of the old El Grande Rulebook: Your fellow players must send all of their own Caballeros from one region back to the provinces. Each player decides which region. Decide secretly! All players must simultaneously select a region with their secret disks. The selected region must contain at least 1 of their Caballeros. If a player has no Caballeros in any region, he is not affected. The players may not take Caballeros from the King’s region or the Castillo.

[@RazvanTruta-zi2vo]

so i think this is for a while now, but i just realized they dropped the between segments interview with each player. Probably it was extra work for not a lot added value but wonder if some other reason.

[@Keisuki]

I certainly prefer not having those segments. They were kind of annoying and disrupted the flow.

[@anthonywillcocks3782]

Holly, proving that spreading yourself across the board is the best tactic. By far, the prettiest player.

[@kishorepurohit8010]

Dom Looks good in a moustache ❤

[@laurenbrinsfield2614]

I'd love to see you guys play Ticket to Ride. My family loves that game

[@andrewbrehmer9848]

I am really looking forward to JAWS next week, it is a blast!

[@luigiscazzari4724]

So, the secret to winning this game is being well-spread.

[@WotFanar]

holly's hair is amazing today.

[@tomiquis]

Love the content guys, but as a Spaniard the Mexican hat in the thumbnail hit hard....😢

[@huieyhewey727]

53 min-ish mark. Holly drops a meeple into a region she shouldn't be able to, it's not next to the king

[@huieyhewey727]

Not that it mattered though.

[@nonofyb]

:O Holly looks amazing with that hair!

[@TheQrstOne]

@14:10, someone tell Tom to tell the audience to update the wiki. 😂

[@Lillith.]

"burger" is Dutch for citizen

[@acousticnoisemachine]

Crossing my fingers that we get Laurie dressed as Hooper and Sullivan dressed like Quint for next week. Hmm... but who would make the best Brody?

[@Dalestair]

Holly's pink hair is so beautiful!!!

[@TheKurdSimRacer]

After this video i really want to see you guys play "Battle for Rokugan" by Fantasy Flight Games, i hope someone from NRB reads my comment and consider playing this fantastic game.

[@ludvigthebirb7131]

Hollys new hair is great!

[@albert_vds]

At first I thought this game was like Risk, then Laurie explained it and I thought it wasn't really like Risk, then the bickering and complaining started and I was back to thinking it was like Risk.

[@mohdsaddiq6740]

Will there be dune the second game?

[@alonsogonzalez3454]

Ver este episodio va a ser muy gracioso y algo incómodo a la vez xD

[@SorwestChannel]

I was like... what is a cavalero, is Laurie saying a synonym of courtier or something?? Until it hit me, it's a caballero (ca-va-ye-ro), got it got it 😅😅

[@misterhamilton5059]

Have they played Call To Adventure?

[@clanechelon]

Just started the episode but I am really wondering what was considered to make this a 4 player playthrough? Isn't El Grande considered best at 5? Odd choice, unless someone called in sick. If so, I vote that person scrubs the toilet next time

[@TalesNT]

Caballeros are not pronounced like that. You're saying cabaleros instead. Ll in spanish is close to the g or y sound, as the initial sound in "general" or "you". You use ll correctly later, when you mention "castillo" around 5:00.

[@pauloldfield8378]

Terri shouldn't be laughing because, according to the French there's no such thing as sexual innuendos. Also, they get pissed at you for trying to put anything other then mayo on your chips enough though no one does that because the BBQ sauce is the only right answer.

[@smallman5509]

Just writing to say that I love Holly's hair, excellent indeed and she is a very well spread player.. Also that has to be the funniest intro of Sully just bollocking Teri's dirty mind.

[@tomfulgum5939]

Holly should not be the first person revealing power cards. It's the person who went last who bids first.

[@qylalouzierein2015]

I like Holly's new hair!!❤

[@JDizaster]

I need an official BGC t-shirt with "It's late and I can't fight intrusive thoughts anymore".

[@SuperLb14]

Hollys hair is looking stunning! Also how late do these guys film into?

[@gethain2286]

in the first round. shouldnt holly have gained 5 points instead of 3, since her big dude was in the region also?

[@jpjpvds]

Akimbo, Teri Limongi!!!
