Let's Play JUST ONE | Board Game Club

[@jonnysmith5998]

Elliot: The Smart One Elliot two seconds later.. “What’s a synonym?”

[@MKisFeelinSpicy]

Another way to make this game competitive would be following the rules of "The Nice Round" from Richard Osman's House of Games. The guesser awards a point to whoever's clue they felt helped them most.

[@RenewedRS]

Over time even that became competitive and people would just give points to anyone who wasn't likely to win.

[@aaa303]

@@RenewedRS Then they can try giving the clues anonymously.

[@michaelclarkj]

It’d be a fun addition with a saboteur role - if they get outed, they lose points, if you out the wrong person you lose points, they get points if the guesser fails… one possible wrinkle to encourage actual good clues.

[@michaelclarkj]

No that would not work as I imagined - there’d have to be some penalty for being voted out if you were crew; hmm… needs more workshopping.

[@michaelclarkj]

Maybe there’s just one or two saboteurs each turn. They score if it isn’t guessed encouraging the crew to give good clues. The sabs get a point (or two) for a failure. Tweak the balance.

[@micahnewby7964]

As a fan who wasn't until Blood on the Clocktower was a thing, I recently decided I'm going to series watch from the beginning. It's fun to see all the bits and bobs of legend develop. Today's example: They all laughed at Tom's buzzer, but darned if it isn't one they use to this day

[@stacie_everdell]

'Bus Fare' was brilliant! That's the idea of the game, think outside the box but still lead the guesser to the right answer. Thanks for sharing this 'how to play' over Zoom. I'm adding this to my game group!

[@Ryvaken]

My first thought was "taxi" for exactly the same reason. I don't think it would have helped, though.

[@ewanmacdonald728]

Wasn't sure if I'd get into this channel as much seeing as the most interesting board game I've ever owned is star was chess but between these, the history videos and actually good im loving it!

[@Phalxxx]

The rule about synonyms was kinda inconsistent. Change and metamorphosis are synonyms enough to cancel, but fair and carnival aren't enough for Blair to be correct? And Just and Fair aren't synonym enough for Adam's clue to be invalid?

[@usulsk]

The game has NO rule against synonyms!

[@tylermccabe4817]

Some of the clues were also multiple words… I know I’m a year late but this bothered me.

[@Binary-]

And even if it did.... If synonyms are considered the same for clues, then I feel like they should be considered the same for answers too. Like when Blair said carnival and it was fair? I just think that should've counted.

[@alixx_legenddark_xx2819]

If they are from the same family, then it is invalid.

[@hailhydra91]

Thanks to NXT, now when I tune in for a video here, I picture William Regal yelling "BOARDGAMES!!" thanks to NXT Wargames hype.

[@BMac2927]

Same!😂

[@supermonkey321]

My favorite thing about War Games is William Regal saying it. Lol

[@daddybourne1]

I didnt before, but I will now

[@jeffplanas4838]

I was given a Just One board game recently and I had no idea how to play this game with my friends on a virtual set-up, good thing I stumbled in this video. Thank you!

[@JoeNeroWest7]

This is becoming my new favorite series.

[@supermonkey321]

Same.

[@warpwingminis]

I definitely think that if you are eliminating answers that are synonyms then Blair should have got points for Carnival (a synonym of fair) just seems more fair to me

[@Binary-]

I love games that show just how differently people's minds can work (which I'm aware is ironic given the whole 'two of the same things cancel out' rule that comes up a lot). But when the clue was 'bus' I didn't for a second think of 'bus fare', I thought it was about the Rosa Parks justice movement.

[@Sykelone]

Man, I just.. I love this series.

[@dhsports5364]

Love these videos, it's one thing being told a game is fun but it's great to see it in action. Just played Codenames with some friends thanks to your videos and everyone had a great time ♥️

[@airkami]

Laurie's clue was too perfect

[@donatohunter]

This show is pretty dang relaxing to watch weekly

[@bobbysheila]

Thanks guys. I almost feel like i have friends now :(

[@dr.hooknolanevans3466]

Can Phenomenerds please make something like a Discord server so fans can play together.

[@hillrp1]

Seconding this notion

[@rasaayennaidoo2377]

This is a great idea

[@Jaburezu]

Another great one! Really loving the series now. 👍 Was hoping Oli would go with "Godfather" for the "Hose" 😅

[@raiyanamin3573]

The fact that Oli got fair and fare mixed up is equivalent to him saying it's CM Punk asking for ice-cream bars instead of the pipebomb at quizzlemania 7

[@Shavinderyt]

I think Oli was going for a 5head move there, as long as the sound of "fair" was said, they get the win. What a genius that mr. Davis is.

[@LoganBluth]

@@Shavinderyt Yeah, I think since "Fair" and Fare" are hononyms and the guesser only has to say the word out loud rather than write it down, using different meanings of the same sounding word is actually a good strategy. Great lateral thinking by Mr. Davis!

[@BrandonJones-vj2ey]

"Who is Chinese?" - Pete Quinnell

[@08Codys]

Shocked Luke didn't say Raven's nest.

[@davidc.lalnelawma4776]

Yeah, and Laurie would still have gotten it as a wrestling fan who knows Luke

[@tafua_a]

"I was really bad at RE". At least you have proper RE. We here in Italy have *C* R E, because somebody decided that keeping a pact that Mussolini signed with the Church was a wonderful idea!

[@jamesmichael5378]

Awesome. Always look forward to these.

[@charlesberg1234]

I'm disappointed that nobody used the clue "Sarlacc" for pit.

[@supermonkey321]

Oh damn. That's a good one!

[@BrandonJones-vj2ey]

“I’ve lived on Tatooine my whole life- there’s no such thing as an abandoned Sarlacc pit.” - Cobb Vanth “There is if you eat the Sarlacc.” - Mando

[@sophieprice6190]

I'm glad Laurie thought of Armadillo, that would have been mine 😄

[@justinehercthehuman]

Y'all broke the name of the game by giving TWO words as a clue. LMAO It's literally called Just One.

[@CHilla415]

Fucking Oli. He asks Isaac what he's been up to while Isaac was (briefly) away, Adam says they don't have time, and Oli proceeds to ask EVERY SINGLE PERSON AFTER THAT what they've been up to during their momentary time away lol.

[@Plumazz96]

Love the channel. Great people playing fun games 🙌🏼

[@SV-yo6nq]

Keep it up guys, we love you

[@dwnvwdjvn]

A great mix of personalities playing some super games. I'm really enjoying your content.

[@kevinosullivan3861]

Season 4 of Buffy was excellent! Nice video, thank you.

I had trouble concentrating after the referenced disrespect of season 4. There are so many great episodes in that season! Hush, The Restless, Fear Itself, Superstar... How can one NOT like season 4?

[@commander-fox-q7573]

Disappointed nobody went for “Hag” for Pit Hag blood on the clocktower style

[@johnkelley5714]

Cotton Candy is two words! disqualified

[@phillysportsphanatic1547]

It’s my favorite time of the week

[@Nossairito]

Oli has such Mark from Peep Show energy I love it so much

[@BigUncleStunna]

HELL YES, I LOVE THESE VIDEOS ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@DarthNater246]

Got this game for Christmas and my family loves it. Thanks mates!!

[@sushimartyr6311]

Since playing along from the guesser’s perspective was hard, I decided to play along with this one by coming up with clues as well for the first few within the allotted time. I got no duplicates. I guess I’ll always be curious whether “blankets” would have helped Isaac, “maiden” would have helped Blair, or “hag” would have helped Oli at all xD

[@alharron2145]

Not sure whether I should be ashamed or delighted that Luke's mind immediately went to the bizarre 80s science fiction film, mostly because its also exactly where my mind went

[@EmmaBonn96]

Did anyone else freak out when Oli stumbled on it at 13:07

[@LoganBluth]

I think he actually said "pip", as in apple pips, the seeds in the core of an apple.

[@joshhale9355]

Oli was thrown a softball with pit and still whiffed it. They must not have built a park in a Tony Hawk game, because they would know punji pit is if they did. Also the Vietnam War had something to do with them too or whatever.

[@AbsoluteHero42]

I appreciate the minalla (love, and I mean loooooooove godzilla)

[@McBehrer]

7:36 Bus? how is bus a clue for Fair? edit: 10:00 oh good they all roasted him for it

[@justincassee8233]

I really love these videos ... hoping adam drop an 1hr video on bgc

[@TheJillers]

House rule on synonyms but also allowing 2 word clues? It's called Just One for a reason. 7 YEARS dungeon!

[@EmmaBonn96]

6:39 I think I would’ve gone with Scarborough

[@babyrne78]

Was thinking Guttenburg straight off the bat too!

[@Hard_Gap]

I love this show

[@thatonepersonyouknowtheone7781]

"Elliott: the smart one" first thing he says "What's a synonym?"

[@OhNoItsRez]

James playing with fire with that copyright hahaha

[@jn3440]

Kinda shocked no one came up with pendulum for pit

[@WarEagle1023]

Blair is absolutely adorable. Her smile brightened my day immediately

[@MikeJohnson-pb9uh]

Are metamorphosis and change really synonyms? Seems harsh to me

[@niaj7400]

well metamorphosis literally means change so no it fits.

[@MikeJohnson-pb9uh]

@@niaj7400 disagree. Metamorphosis is a specific biological process in which change occurs. The two words don’t have the same literal meaning, and couldn’t be used interchangeably in most instances

[@niaj7400]

@@MikeJohnson-pb9uh sigh you yourself used change in your definition so the bottom line is IT IS A SYNONYM. So his judgment wasn't harsh.

[@MikeJohnson-pb9uh]

@@niaj7400 No, it is not a synonym. The two words mean different things. You could not use the word ‘metamorphosis’ to describe, for example, the change of temperature of water when boiled in a kettle, the change of government after an election, or the change of score in a football match after one team scores a goal. These are examples of change, but not of metamorphosis. If I was to define the word ‘sock’, I would most likely use the word ‘foot’ in my definition, but sock is not a synonym of foot.

[@niaj7400]

@@MikeJohnson-pb9uh sigh just look up synonyms for metamorphosis and not because it works for one word means it will work for all words, for instance homonyms.

[@MoxHalite]

Cotton candy is two words. Im gonna be pedantic about this.

[@wolvenmeck]

So is La Brea.

[@sujatromukhopadhyay767]

So is Fleetwood Mac, and Adam himself wrote that

[@JujitsuJoystick]

My first instinct for Hannukah was to suggest Matata. Don't lie to yourself you would laugh and get the right answer!

[@camouflage871]

i love board glame club

[@DaddyOmega333]

Love the content thank you all

[@supermonkey321]

I love this show! It's a lot of fun! My favorite thing on the channel. Also, just gotta say, Blair is very cute.

[@ChronoXShadow]

Oli still in his Mr. Davis persona at the beginning of the video lol

[@naomil7830]

Tom is right! There’s much to be said for season four.

[@PosionNec]

Cotton candy is 2 words

[@akadam90]

surely cotton candy is 2 words and not JUST ONE word. :P

[@kadel300]

Agreed. Same with under arm

[@JuanNescioakaJ.D.]

YES!!!! Get In!

[@leva4482]

Not gonna lie, I was expecting Adam Cole to be a clue on the last one.

[@MrBrknsyt]

Laurie low-key MVP there. *Everything will soon be Fakidor.*

[@burningheartphotography9752]

Gonna take me about half an hour to get to my next job on AC:Valhalla.... Auto ride it is so I can enjoy this 😂

[@AeonJube]

Loved watching this game! But triggered by people not knowing who Steve Guttenberg was....am I old now? :D

[@johnkelley5714]

ONLY ONE means only one word.. Not Fleetwood mac, not freddie krueger! ONLYONE

[@arthursimsa9005]

No cotton candy or « under arm » either

[@steburnst]

i realise i am behind and playing catchup on these videos but adam is a drag race fan isn't he? i'm catching references

[@wolfscrescent7216]

Seven can play at that game.

[@ryan_alexander]

That's all for gravelly voice game reviews

[@UnhallowedEssence]

Am I the only one who wants to see these guys play DnD?

[@donatohunter]

I mean No Rolls Bars was pretty close and pretty great. Still hoping for word on season two.

[@NoRollsBarred]

LAURIE: Me! I do!

[@TheGamingWard]

Come at us, Disney lmao

[@justisedwards7616]

Nobody said mosh for pit!

[@richardshort2001]

"Elliot isn't a wrestling fan" So Akeem wouldn't be a good clue, then?

[@slothdance2020]

Why does everyone assume everything Jewish involves Challah?!?!?!?!! I love Challah, don't get me wrong, but Hannukah is all about the Latkas.

[@davemason2604]

For the word Fair i think cotton candy shouldnt be allowed as it was 2 words and not one word

[@traupman84]

Surprised none of the wrestle talk guys put Piper's for pit

[@RustyBucket2]

It's frightening how often I matched with Laurie watching this. Should I be concerned?

[@WarEagle1023]

For the "pits" clue, you should have put Piper's

[@pankakovacs101]

i think two words with the same meaning are considered different tho... i've read the rules and it never mentioned completely different words with the same meaning to be considered identical. :o

[@WaltherVonDerVogelweide_1312]

OG board game club misses a lot of Sully

[@guavagudetama]

They didn’t introduce Laurie

[@erikravey8313]

Change and Metamorphoses definitely are not synonyms

[@WarEagle1023]

By that standard, just and equal are synonyms

[@joshheimendinger6569]

There's also no rule about synonyms being eliminated; I'm not sure where they got that idea

[@thefoxmoonlight]

Seven can play at that game...

[@rexation8952]

Should've had Klingon subtitles on because ya'll missed at least one rule: -Word cannot be in another language

[@bookedroomer]

Obviously I'm late to point this out but synonyms are allowed but not words from the same family like prince and princess or actor actress

[@Misace2500]

What?! Luke didn't put "Raven's" for Nest?! Is he okay??

[@jeffradiane]

In the many times I’ve played this game with a wide variety of people, we’ve never done the synonym rule. Is it really there in the instructions?

[@PinoyAkoPh]

I’ve never done this rule too! Because that makes the game 100x more difficult. I guess maybe because they had a large group of people?

[@Wolfe911]

Why for pit did nobody do Sarlacc? Also, La Brea Flats, not a pit.

[@ladyspookums]

La Brea Tar PIT

[@Wolfe911]

Lacy I forgot about that, thank you.

[@WarEagle1023]

Or Piper's Pit

[@loke6664]

I don't think the scoring here works. Guessing is way harder then writing a different word from everyone else so the correct answer should net you 2 points or maybe even 3.

[@chadweaver9050]

Cotton Candy is TWO words smh

[@AzvidPlayz]

Word: Pit Me: Smash, as in Super Smash Bros.

[@-KiTToBuG]

I may be in the minority here, but I think it would've been better without the points.

[@friiq0]

I think they’re being too strict. Synonyms should be allowed

[@sirmaulerman]

I'm just saying if change and metamorphosis are synonyms I'm gonna say growth should have been one too. But we know from Dobbins and bobbins that Adam likes to have that advantage.

[@kotoasty]

please permanently change the title to board glame club lol

[@jomaxgamez3840]

Oli you literally said pit, and then didn't pick pit, but instead said jeans.

[@lavenderwalrus9875]

i agree with tom season 4 of buffy is great, luke is talking nonsense

Why « funnel »? I don’t get what it has to do with « fair »? Granted, l,m not a native speaker.
