Let's Play KILL DOCTOR LUCKY! | Overboard, Episode 46

[@SomeStarASCII]

If overboard has one millions fans, I am one of them. If overboard has ten fans, I am one of them. If overboard has only one fan, that person is me. If overboard has no more fans, I am dead. If overboard dies, I couldn't go on living.

[@EmpressArachne]

I like to imagine that Clayton is on one of those really tall lifeguard lookout chairs just behind the camera yelling the rules and such down at them

[@thomaschristensen2941]

i do like how sneaky everyone is being all the time, only for the final murder weapon to be a MASSIVE, EXTREMELY LOUD CANNON. really looney tooney

[@TheGodOfInsanty]

I can't elaborate on why, but Simone playing as the bird doctor feels wonderfully in character

[@damonl9981]

I'm very happy Overboard keeps going.

[@DrLazerbeam]

once every 4 years Polygon plays games to celebrate the anniversary of when it was good. Not that we all wouldn't love another 25 minutes on the bottles graphics of Half Life

[@DrLazerbeam]

I just went and checked just to back up my vitriol to see what my old friends were up to and here are some of the video essays from people I genuinely liked listening to that I won't ever be watching - "I lived as Mario for a week" - "Video games explain the supply chain crisis" - "Learn to love Stardew Valleys weird fishing game" - "Nobody can stop you from stealing The Great Gatsby" - "I love note-taking games and I DON'T CARE if that sounds boring" and of course everybody and their grandma's favourite "Why Wo Long’s Zhang Liang is so good at killing you" and if you don't know who that is, perhaps you'd enjoy "Why Armored Core 6's Balteus is so good at killing you" ah yes Armored Core 6, the World Of Tanks game for people who don't have enough social skills for World of Warcraft when I read some of these back, you could argue there is an almost mock-BDG quality to them but its like AI tried to do BDG without understanding what makes those videos great.

[@RobertJW]

I have watched and enjoyed most of those videos.

[@DrLazerbeam]

​@@RobertJW I feel very sorry that nothing better is going on in your life xxx

[@RobertJW]

@@DrLazerbeam "I watched and enjoyed most of those videos" and "I have nothing better going on in my life" are wildly different sentences, my dude!

[@shagsuchdbdi]

I couldn't believe they were going to let that bit go without a "is that bad cream in your pocket or are you happy to see me." Thank god for Pat.

[@bwagner23]

patrick gill is truly on one in this episode. "skeet's gotta cream" will haunt me.

[@leia575solo9]

Did anyone else notice the joke on the silken rope? It's worth 2 normally, 5 in the master bedroom, and has something like "so it's that kind of party" written on it

[@leahschrum2461]

i think most of these cards are joke-y

[@rionsanura]

historical pat haircut. will it help him hide from his enemies? only time will tell

[@noahdoss1967]

his one weakness: being decapitated by a fast moving cannon ball.

[@katziyin]

Fun fact, my art teacher is the model for Dr. Lucky. That man dresses like that IRL

[@charliecrossing]

I'm obsessed with how Pat skipped the line on his card that his character was from Switzerland because he already had the Kentucky accent in the chamber

[@HouseFantastic]

piazzagate was a good joke pat

[@unconcernedsalad2]

i haven’t watched the video yet and i liked this comment

[@Nerd1090]

I can't believe they didn't react I came to the comments to make sure someone else caught it lmao

[@gayMath]

this feels like the game you play before a game of clue

[@Duiker36]

And then, after that, you play the zombie version.

[@Zuldaar]

The fact that the main shot is mirrored was taking a toll on my sanity trying to figure out what's going on with the board.

[@MrHalfLoaf]

Thank you! I knew something was backwards somewhere, but I couldn’t figure out where!

[@mozarteanchaos]

oh, THAT'S why i keep getting caught off guard by the turn order!

[@psyducktective]

When the room has those knives great for taking some lives- that's ar-mory!

[@angeladunnangiedraws]

That was the best ending. All the sneakiness and suddenly CANNON

[@Michael_Lindell]

To paraphrase Frank Herbert: "The Spite must flow!"

[@josepholiveira2873]

I can't believe Tina absolutely wanted to kill that dog. Despicable.

[@drskelebone]

I've just done a search, and sent messages to friends who I've entrusted large portions of my board game archive to, and I cannot find who has my old school white cardboard and printer paper version of this game. I did get a confession that my Save Doctor Lucky is now residing in Chicago, but I cannot find my Kill. Thanks for the flashbacks to the late 2000s, early 2010s.

[@drskelebone]

Having been in situations like Simone has found herself today, the absolute terror that rips through you when you're 100% certain your friend is about to murder themselves by rocking their chair is such a powerful feeling.

[@GenderNeutch]

The ballad of Creamy Skeets

[@vassilian9006]

i love the little noises Tina makes when moving around the board

[@AngelBeatYunara]

Really rawhanding that doctor.

[@thegreatbigmulp]

It's always nice to see CheapAss Games games get some love.

[@FinetalPies]

Why is the footage flipped? This is so strange. I was confused why the board between the two shots seemed to flip vertically but not horizontally. And at 21:16 you can see a left hand become a right hand between shots.

[@EmpressArachne]

The camera above them had the bottom facing the players. Made it a little hard to keep up but not terrible

[@spaceheroes2]

Pat and Simone going in and out of the Southern accents had me cracking up. Overboard never misses

[@pinkgolddaisy3926]

reverse clue looks very fun 😂

[@FFigueira]

id love to see yall play the version where he turns into a zombie at the end lol

[@Michael_Lindell]

Bad Cream? Oh, I remember them. They were the worst 60's supergroup.

[@leeeorama]

So it’s not just a clever name?

[@RadioManJ]

Yey, my 9-years old son (and me) will be so happy when he sees a new Overboard video is out!

[@oyasumiruby2751]

the Pat/Simone banter is superb as usual

[@Michael_Lindell]

What great timing, I was just looking for some dinner watchin'! Also, what's Doctor Lucky's degree in? My guess is fine arts.

[@Domi_Nique811]

My guess is statistics so he can calculate the chance of his luck.

[@Duiker36]

Theology, because his continued life only makes sense as a miracle.

[@RyanStanis]

Yessssss an old roommate introduced me to this game years ago. It's so fun!

[@irin7287]

everyone looks so good in this video

[@Manatee55]

Always happy to see a new Overboard episode!

[@caseysailor9301]

men are invited to watch this episode of Polygon's Overboard, but they must stand at the back.

[@caseysailor9301]

13:20, what does that mean??

[@caseysailor9301]

17:53..Is..is that how you do it? no wonder I could never get close.

[@sunfreckledmoonchild]

This was such a fun watch, a great game for this group!

[@CharlesBertrand-um9fz]

My Favorite boardgame actual play series!

[@Lambda3141]

One of my fav games! I'm glad you all got to enjoy it.

[@augustoraugust7493]

*Drinking Game:* Bottoms up every time Tina asks about the "Drawing a card" Rule

[@Ar7ifur]

my favorite polygon series

[@Ovetupp]

The good doctor should really find better company.

[@Sam-nc5iq]

Honestly, it might be complicated, but I would LOVE to see y'all play the Dead By Daylight board game lol. It's pretty fun

[@Benusr]

I'd love to see repeats of games like this one... Others to mention: Slay the spire, Coup, Skull, One Night Werewolf...

[@beanie2571]

i miss seeing jenna on overboard sm

[@Laf631]

This game looks so fun!

[@JHaven-lg7lj]

“Kill Doctor Lucky” or, as we call it in our house “AND MOVE DOCTOR LUCKY!” 😄 CheapAss games are the best.

[@JHaven-lg7lj]

Finally got to this on my Watch Later list - first, I’m so glad even the professionals also kept forgetting to move Dr. Lucky. Second, what a blast 😄

[@mamalmi]

Very funny video and game, but I felt like I was going crazy at first cause in the instructions they state turns going in order clockwise and then while playing they are going anti-clockwise from the video perspective.

[@soulreaver9137]

More Overboard, please :)

[@jedfromyourlocallibrary]

Civil War cannon… the perfect crime…

[@SLiV9]

Love me som Overboard!

[@DrLazerbeam]

Thinking about it now, I have a theory that the remaining skeleton crew of Polygon have been living in a bunker for the last 5 years and that's why you only ever see them together in this windowless room playing board games like its the blitz again. Maybe they were never told the Pandemic ended and that the outside world survived. I think the Verge annihilated most of the staff but told the 6/7 remaining members that the others died trying to flee the habitable zone. When I try to watch these newer polygon videos, all I can see is the Watchmen Montage. This is why they don't play games online together anymore so they can't communicated with the outside world and why Pat hasn't gotten his hair cut. Now they just go about the rest of their lives doing Overboard and writing essays on why Bubsy collects yarn or something. (spoiler its because he's a cat and he makes his own T-shirts with the letter B on it.)

[@chadviolin4]

I am so not used to these rules. I have the game from when it first came out about 20 yrs ago. This update is a little different.

[@CraigJudd]

Same! I was initially confused by Spite, hallways not being rooms, and not being able to draw a card if you are in line of sight.

[@chadviolin4]

@CraigJudd I kind of like the Spite rules. And I'd like to try out the "can't rummage when within line of sight" But I think the rule that hallways dint count isn't a rule. Even in the updated game. In this video, that seemed to take away from the game. I'd love to try the other two rules though.

[@CraigJudd]

@@chadviolin4 I searched for more recent rule sets, and eventually found the "halls don't count" rule mentioned in a review of the Kill Doctor Lucky Deluxe 19.5th Anniversary Edition.

[@Mistwolfss]

I missed it. Did they ever explain why they were only playing with half the board?

[@polygon]

We didn't have enough players for the whole board! - Simone

[@Mistwolfss]

@@polygon ah ok

[@KyrieFortune]

Yes, they did explain they are playing with half the board because they are half the max players that can play this game

[@dimethylhexane]

overboard is having to play smaller and smaller games as the video department gets downsized

[@Mistwolfss]

@@dimethylhexane they should have invited their friends

[@INVALID_DATA]

He’s next guys

[@zu_1455]

Simone! 🖤

[@bradenbradenbraden]

Calling it now... simone is lucky for this overboard

[@DrLazerbeam]

Simone is lucky she still has a job.

[@amycraig4024]

The problem with kill doctor lucky is not everybody has a good time. It gets stuck away from someone for too long, while they're still expected to foot the bill. I watched this in the hopes that I was playing it wrong and that they would have a fun time, but sadly they didn't. They've played other games that everyone enjoys, and have seemed fun to play. I'm gonna go watch those and donate my copy of this game

[@kingedwardthe3rd]

Why is the video a mirror image?

[@6Shooter28]

i feel like "skeet" has now become divorced even from its use as sexual slang. it's just, like, a state of being

[@WattHowar-e9i]

[@_he11even_]

First let's go.

[@Soon2bLegend1]

2nd we take it
