WHAT HAPPENED TO DRAUGHTS?

[@ShadowMewto]

@@FinalFantasyTimeline watch the episode my guy

[@Midragor]

You guys are the best, also just saying : Adam : We're not good with feelings (Procede to God Like FEELS)

[@johanvangijsegem9620]

I ve charged my mastercard, going to subscribe Patreon tomorrow

[@asmith4326]

I just wanted to shout out to the editor that did the suuuuuper sloooooow zoom on Adam's outro. Nice work.

[@tealcandtrip]

Ahh. The studio looks great but I’m going to miss people awkwardly slithering into chairs and almost knocking the game shelves over regularly. Onward and upward!

[@gyroscope915]

Yeah everyone beinng awkwardly shoved into a tiny room at risk of knocking something off the shelf constantly was part of the fun

[@cheesehoard]

same!

[@mariusroos7299]

I also mis the thing of trying to shove all your friends into a room to play games

[@i_am_mr_me]

it feels too spacious visually to me, I miss being able to see all the boardgames on the shelves and it is also just so bright for my poor little eyes, I miss the shadows so much

[@micahnewby7964]

Agreed. Some of the charm is gone

[@caraa1989]

Tilly looking at the wrong clue is the equivalent of sullivan forgetting to look at the cheese during that cheese thief game

[@paulharries9558]

Explains the "Cheese Blindness" warning.

[@gbresaleking]

Twice lol

[@t84nightfall]

Sully doesn’t have to be trapped between the bookshelf anymore! Congrats Sully, you did it!

[@erikschut3301]

You know you've made it when

[@Veggieman87]

Tilly calmly staring into the camera and counting her points while the boys just completely unravel at each other about dogs and lizards is such a fantastic example of NRB as a whole.

[@paulharries9558]

But if she doesn't drink water, she'll die.

[@pauljames7007]

Ah... Smug mode!

[@teodorapetkovic]

Tilly winning because of Jon's shoelace lizard is... too perfect for words.

[@finian2]

Maaan I'm gonna miss the old intro, there was something that gave it kind of a "down to earth" feeling when you went through the cafe

[@sofiipote7]

it was very relaxing to me, almost asmr, but actually soothing

[@dubsfish154]

Im just grateful they kept the bartender dude it wouldnt feel right without him

[@kriss_b]

I understand why the intro had to change but I really think this looks cheap I'm sorry to whoever made it. But I am very glad the waiter still waves to us as we enter 😊 new studio is great btw

[@unexpected2475]

If nothing else the callbacks it has are quite good.

[@zen_ccg]

I'm sure the intro will change over time and get more polished. I look forward to seeing how they thrive in their new space

[@GrkTheGrk]

Between 20:35-21:00 I love how Everyone is just argung about The "Dog Lizard" and we just see Tilly just slowly picking her pen, looking straight at camera marking the point. Like so calmly while all the shouting around her. Its amazing

[@Tridec13]

The best part of the new studio is being able to see that Tilly's feet dangle just above the floor.

[@n_ov4]

adam seems a little happy to have a brand new studio.

[@quain5063]

love me a happy Adam

[@atbender89]

No way i think he hates it.

[@james_6509]

Me, an empath, sensing he may have a brand new studio 🤔

[@Mittens_McG]

I couldn't tell

[@828chrys]

Does he now?

[@thecastawaydc]

I'm here for the Tilly streak! Long may those dry eyes continue winning

[@rickstraw588]

I was so worried that Adam would curse the new studio by actually winning the first game. Good work team!

[@zareklordofthefries7858]

Dry eyes, full hearts, can't lose

[@lucone2937]

I like the way Tilly just says and indicates to Laurie "see above" when they have the same answers. No need for further explanations.

[@WanderingWisp]

Something about the Draughts worker waving in the old intro always made me smile, so I'm glad he's still here, though reduced to a static cutout.

[@paulharries9558]

Perhaps he always was one ....😬

[@joannetrembath6122]

Did you ever notice the person in the booth at the front side eyeing the camera

[@jonnysmith5998]

Sully’s HAHT HAHT HAHT was a clear highlight.

[@emgre5567]

That last round of Adam’s genuinely broke me because I was SO SURE that it was the bike!! Because they’d just joked about it and drowning like a few minutes earlier.

[@ConFusi0n]

Same! I thought it was meant to be "Dead in the water", which the bike totally is

[@emilyrln]

Me, too!!! 😂

[@akarihimine]

For me it was a pirate ship.. ahah..

[@Ryvaken]

I blame youtube compression for that picture looking like more snow with more mountains

[@MattStum]

Hot! Hot! Hot!

[@suhailmoolla5854]

I was so not prepared for the wide shot lol, countless hours spent only looking at the top half of these individuals

[@teodorapetkovic]

that's a better worded version of "they have... legs?" my brain did all throughout this haha

[@RainaThrownAway]

Now they have to wear pants to these recordings.

[@uonia]

Tilly just coyly adding her point at 20:48 for guessing Jon's lizard while everyone else is yelling about how it's not a lizard at all might be one of the funniest things I've seen on this channel.

[@paulharries9558]

Amazing how that's the most noticeable thing in the chaos!

[@iluvausten40517]

Tilly's chill looks at the camera during the "lizard debacle" . . . PRICELESS!!!

[@paulharries9558]

"I'll just get on with marking my score. Let the boys wear themselves out, bless them."

[@Nehu_22]

This will go down in history as the Lizard Debacle of '23

[@Binary-]

Hey, this looks like a new studio. Weird that they didn't mention that

[@salem-01]

I know, I was expecting at least a small comment

[@cameronwiley9412]

Oh yeah dang, I didn't notice. You'd think that'd be worth noting. No big deal I guess.

[@rory.a5360]

They mentioned it on the main channel where they've starting doing board games but with wrestling.

[@MegaNomad27]

I’m pretty sure Adam mentioned it at the start of this video

[@leahstanforth1485]

they talked about it at the end of the video?

[@flamaniswow]

Honestly, 2m into the video and I love the amount of SPACE you have around the table now. You'll be able to move properly and not run into shelves. (RIP Dom during Risk)

[@mydnyt5179]

Was half worried the new studio would change the vibes, but we've hit the point where the whole group shits on Adam, so not everything changes❤

[@teodorapetkovic]

Jon's "I'm not a dweeb, now am I?" explains why Laurie seems to tolerate him all these years... he hates nerds, and Jon's not a nerd!

[@pintpullinggeek]

For someone who hates nerds Laurie sure seems to know a lot about 90's BBC 2 cult programme scheduling... 😂

[@Naokarma]

Dweeb =/= Nerd. Nerds are intelligent obsessors with social ineptitude. Dweebs obsess with social ineptitude, but are not intelligent.

[@Nehu_22]

Is ironic that Laurie hates nerds, he's such a nerd himself, a jocky nerd mayhaps

[@acerumble]

The extra space of the studio compared to the scrunched quarters of the Draughts private room brings a palpable sense of increased comfort.

[@Johnprestonevans74]

Oh my goodness. Jon's "lucky" rant/tangent/grudge is just about the funniest thing i've seen. Great show guys!

[@sofiipote7]

''it's like hanging out with my dad'' was the highlight for me

[@mydnyt5179]

I think Jon's lizard is perfectly good! I'm proud of him for his shoelace art

[@JonGracey69]

🥰🥰🥰

[@dripsoup6639]

​@@JonGracey69That was a perfect lizard. I was most confident in that lizard in round 1.

[@not_on]

The short legs and head shape made it pretty obvious, I thought.

[@junipersr]

​​@@not_onthe upward tail is so unlizard-like I just couldn't see it

[@michaelkitto758]

I immediately guessed it as the lizard, I never saw the dogs lol

[@laibaahmad4701]

If I had a nickel for every time Adam talked about loving shitting while naked, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

[@hos316]

Laurie dropping a Dr. Horrible reference made my day!

[@zzz9952]

I've been thinking of that very same reference for as long as the "Sully Fancies Horses" joke has been running, and in particular the one fan-submitted villain video featuring a puppet who also, apparently, fancies horses, so seeing that reference brought up was the closure I needed. XD

[@jennag8544]

What’s the time stamp?

[@rymdpasta]

​@@jennag8544 01:09:00

[@missingbobsburgers]

Loved the dark horse theme song. Was expecting some cowboys to appear.

[@zekanner]

Was looking through the comments to see if someone got this! A v good little reference.

[@sdb9727]

The amount of inside jokes just in the intro, amazing NRB!

[@onetom2222]

Putting Brooke into the toilet though, damn. Couldn't they make her bake weed brownies or feed cats to an alligator 😂

[@sebastianbaquero7227]

This is the beginning of the third era for NRB. You make our lives so much better and happier. Thanks to all of you for the amazing content you all put out. For many more years of NRB silliness

[@NickW855]

Excellent sense of spirit and fair play with Tilly's minor flub. Good show, everyone.

[@brandonvangieson8087]

New intro and a new studio?! Aw the little loves grow up so fast. Congrats to everyone at NRB, this looks amazing. Also shout out to Draughts Board Game Club for being a lovely home all this time. Because of this show, whenever I someday visit the UK Draughts is on my tour list.

[@Johm453]

I'm definitely gonna miss the old studio at Draughts Board Game Café, however the new one looks absolutely fantastic, congrats guys (also the sheer amount of space now is gonna be SO much better lol, no more knocking shelves over)!

[@tiffanynelson1879]

Maybe it's just me but I really loved Adam's heartfelt ending here. Made me a bit sad that he's not around now. I get why but it's still 💔

[@lilyklass948]

The boys arguing about the dog lizard and Tilly calmly marking her points is everything.

[@JasperCasper24]

The absolute slaughter over too much shoelace lizard had me in tears 😂

[@wildcard_jr7967]

I’ve been on board since day 1, and seeing the progress from Phenoma-Nerds to now has truly been amazing. I genuinely almost had tears welling up from Adam’s speech at the end thanking everyone. It’s been an amazing experience getting into this hobby because of NRB, and you guys will always have my support

[@kimmikkelsen9601]

I just wanted to say: Thank you Adam and the rest of the NRB family. With so much negativity in the world, you all constantly remind us, that there is joy to be had.

[@oengus]

As always, Tilly is a delight to see on Board game club, she brings such an incredible aura of quiet chaos, it's wonderful And congrats on the new studio!

[@IrishJaguar]

That was clearly a lizard, with its triangular head. Well done Jon & Tilly, boo Laurie, Adam and Sully!

[@JonGracey69]

💅💅💅

[@teodorapetkovic]

Great to see the Trial By Trolley crew attempt this game... surely no miscommunications will ever happen!

[@makerofjam]

Having played this game myself, I can assure everyone that the shoelaces are surprisingly difficult to manipulate

[@iamgoonerash]

20:50 love how there's absolute chaos and carnage, and then Tilly just quietly being like "point for me tyvm" 😂

[@ShaneT5S]

20:45 everyone shouting while Tilly's giving herself a point very calmly

[@apocrypha5363]

I hope you play this one again at some point, it's perfect. Simple enough to easily understand, we can play along at home because we can guess, and we can decide what we would have done, and it's so perfectly set up for banter and humour.

[@walkerart8035]

I hope things are good between sully and brooke and hopefully the queen of the board will be back, other than that congratulations on the new studio and this epic milestone 💗💗

[@WildcardZwei]

I hate to be this guy, but I've recently dealt with a rough time and finding this cute little channel has been the panacea I needed to get through my sadness about a bad time with a new job. This is like a suped up version of Polygon's Overboard and I couldn't be happier to see more people playing games like Coup. Finding you guys through my loyalty to all things featuring Tomska was the ultimate gift the algorithm has given me this year. Can't wait to see what new games and twists on favorites you have in store. I look forward to seeing you hit 200K and eventually a million subs, because you deserve every one. Cheers.

[@AuntyAwesome]

That new intro oh my 😂😂 Brooke in the toilet, the drink names, beware cheese blindness 😂 it's all gold. I especially can't wait for story time with Sullivan Beau brown ❤😂

[@nathanvela6232]

Thank YOU guys for creating a board gaming channel with such excellence, quality, and expertise all whilst being yourselves and hilariously showing us how fun board-gaming can be. The genuine love you all have for each other and for board games oozes out of our screens. Thank you so much for introducing us to some board games that have created some of my life’s favorite moments amongst my own circle of friends. I seriously cannot thank you guys enough. I remember the days of Phenomenerds, and trust me, it was phenomenal 😂 I look forward to learning about new board games and watching you guys have the times of your life for years to come. Cheers!

[@xasz41]

THE NEW STUDIO LOOKS AMAZING, WTH!

[@lil_paups]

If this new intro is permanent, then I’ve got to say I absolutely love it. The new studio looks amazing as well.

[@SamARoony]

The new intro's so cool!! Definitely going to take some getting used to though lmao

[@rebeccabranford-bowd9138]

This is literally the best board game channel on any platform. I get so much joy from watching you all have fun playing board games. From the moment the music starts to the end of each show, the quality of the content is outstanding. You really distill the essence of the board gaming experience and present it in such a pure way that I am left smiling long after I have stopped watching. Thank you for all that you are doing and I look forward to watching you all have fun well into the future!!

[@AzumiLP]

The only bit of criticism of the new studio is that it could probably do with a bit more set dressing, as it does feel a little empty and sterile. Maybe something to make it feel a bit more homely.

[@feanaro2712]

Adam unravelling in the final round is a thing to behold. Also, big congrats on the Brand New Studio.

[@CaptainBalcon]

Gonna take a while to forget the old studio, but the new one looks fantastic!

[@alharron2145]

Best thing about the new intro is keeping the friendly waiving staff member, I'm really happy he made the cut!

[@Mistycle8]

I’ve been binging nrb videos for a while and came across this one and it took me like a whole 10 minutes to realize this was just uploaded. The new studio looks great!

[@chrisrysso4026]

Congrats on the new studio!! Going to miss the coziness of the old one though. Adam, I can't love your sign off at the end enough. I'm such a sap and started to get emotional watching it, your gratitude really came through. Looking forward to seeing what you have planned!

[@ShadowWind-kn8qc]

New studio Adam...let's try to get a win. Honestly though thank you Adam and everyone at NRB. This has been my favorite corner of KZbin for awhile now.

[@TheRottenICE]

A friend of mine has a bespoke version of this using his instagram photos it’s such a blast to play nice to see the base version played.

[@thecastawaydc]

That's a table that'd make your dad proud

[@Higgimug]

Tilly's last talking head was phenomenal, and rounded out a great video.

[@cftug]

So, I was waiting literally the entire game for Adam's innevitable karma for giving Jon such shit over the shoelace lizard. I was so crestfallen when his turn on the shoelaces came 'round and he aced it. And then the ending happened. Not quite as poetic as I'd have prefered, but damn if it wasn't satisfying.

[@cannedcream]

I'm just happy they kept the waving barista in the intro. He was the real champ.

[@fiyero51]

This is the earliest ive been to one of their video's i just discovered thos channel 3 days ago and already binge watched all of their BotC video's. So im absolutely hooked. Love everyone and their great personalities. Can't waiy to see more.

[@cashjones6997]

I love Adam for various reasons (some aesthetic) but watching Adam lose so graciously 😂 then have the heartfelt moment at the end just made my heart grow even more! This is a well deserved success Adam!

[@quain5063]

Aww the message at the end. Love yas as always and can't wait for the second season of BotC!!!

[@13kingofawesome]

Sully's "hot hot hot" had me falling over laughing. But I 100% would have went with the bike in the water

[@danielfennessey]

I love the new studio. It makes board game club feel like Adam’s invited everyone around his gaff to play, which to me, actually feels quite deep, given how NRB as a whole started as an escape from the global bastard.

[@Karthos1000]

I like cold mac 'n' cheese too. Actually, on some occasions, I will cook the macaroni, scoop it into a Tupperware container, and refrigerate it, to eat cold later. (Sometimes with added tuna and sliced black olives [and sometimes mushroom soup mix].) On the other hand, cold pizza is revolting.

[@drea7421]

Adam and Sully have such an adorable friendship love🤗

[@Raena413]

Always a joy to see Jon on an episode

[@thelasttankmage]

Glad to see the new studio and that you guys will no longer have to squeeze into frame and be constantly backing into the right side bookshelf. NRB is a great channel and i love that its growing and becoming even bigger.

[@vincealessandro4386]

Thanks to whoever made the intro❤ as a long time fan seeing the references to cheese blindness and wing suit simpleton brought me so much joy🥰

[@intellectualsaviorofthemas1893]

The amount of time I spent re-watching the intro was probably longer than the actual video itself; I loved every second🥰 The new intro, the new studio & the new table are all pure artistic masterpieces. I would say my excitement matches Adam's but that's pretty much impossible😅 I'm so glad to see The NRB Crew flourish❤

[@t84nightfall]

Congrats on the new studio! It’s been amazing to see the evolution of this channel. From pandemic zoom games to Draughts to the new studio

[@sarahogilvy]

Congratulations Adam and the rest of the team for bringing us such great entertainment. Thank you Rosie for the new studio it looks amazing. Enjoy your journey guys 😊

[@bearystarry]

get on board!!! so happy for all of you and the new studio; i hope there are many more years of board game club to come. thank you all so much for the laughs 💚💖🖤💖💚

[@steveskew1097]

So sad to not have the old cramped studio but the new one looks so nice!!! Congrats on all the upgrades you've made recently!!!

[@EmRose.r]

Love the new studio, guys! The intro is great too and I'll be happy as long as the waiter keeps waving at me

[@lesleymaher6799]

I chose the beach picture for Adams last turn, but being born and raised on the coast of Australia means beach safety was drilled into my brain from the day i took my first step. So, maybe I had an advantage there. As for the new studio, Rosie built it!?!? That's amazing! And must not have been cheap, building materials cost an arm and a leg. Not to mention making sure it's up to code. Truly a woman of many talents. Also, I'm going to miss Brook. I hope everything is well with her, and wish her all the luck for the future.

[@ToastBurn]

Huge love to the NRB team, congrats on the new studio! 🥰

[@tomwatts703]

The new studio looks great! I'll miss the Draughts room but it looks like you've got a lot more space now as well, looking forward to more great stuff from NRB 👍

[@grantzolldan]

That mona lisa joke was incredible

[@lightningwaitforitakash]

It's sad seeing Adam saying all the nice words at the end.. And knowing what happens next, it makes me sad really... I don't know who is in the rights and who is in the wrongs. Who is telling the truth and who is lying... But all i know, it's not just the same without adam.. 😢

[@killaekiron9009]

I found the channel right after Adam left. I've been watching all their old videos and the new ones. It won't be the same, but I still love it!

[@cardboardgeek]

Loved it, and Laurie a Dr Horrible cut ... (chefs kiss) nice new studio too

[@naplockblubba5369]

I recently ran a games table at a conference and set out some example layouts from pictures for people to try and solve as they stopped by. People loved it.

[@frankclark2208]

When Adam is discussing others' projects, he sounds like he's a professional on antiques roadshow.

[@paulharries9558]

All the Birmingham Expo had a hint this was coming. And Wingsuit Simpleton is there, bless him.

[@Yaered]

yeah, i will miss the couch. was part of the "homely" charm of the show. Hopefully it can make a return at some point. Great that it's an actual studio now~

[@SullySideUp]

The Star Trek talk at the start was physically painful 😂

[@dliessmgg]

I love at 20:57 when the boys are yelling at each other about the lizard-dog, and tillie just looks at the camera like "you see what i gotta deal with?" xD

[@ThrawnIsAlive]

1:18:56 This might be my new favorite Sully sidebar. 😂

[@albertrr3769]

Gonna miss the old place but I'm so excited to see what madness and hilarity gets cooked up in this gorgeous new studio!

[@MrDavinciman]

Without doubt my favourite channel on KZbin and I look forward to every episode every week. Can't wait to see where you are taking us next.congrats on the awesome new studio and all you future successes.😊

[@johnj2784]

All those complaining about the new intro, have either not watched it properly and missed the multitude of bits and in jokes going all the way back to the start of the channel. Or forgotten that the whole concept of this channel is to be fun and silly.

[@mydnyt5179]

NEW STUDIO!!!!!!! IT LOOKS SO COOL!!

[@rma42084]

I've been watching NRB videos all day, only found the channel recently, and when this one came on I was like "oh this is weird, when did they have this intro?" and thought it was weird at some point they moved from a studio to the bar, only in the last bit realized the video was from today. Congrats on the studio, excited to see where the channel goes from here!

[@daninellins]

Jon: "Post apocalyptic yellow skies" HOW DID HE KNOW??

[@effarrjay]

Love the new studio and a hilariously entertaining episode to start off with. Jon was on fire throughout this whole episode, and there couldn't be a better way to start off the new period of NRB with Adam coming so close to victory only to lose once again.

[@retractedhack]

This is genuinely my favorite channel on KZbin. I love the banter, I love the games, and I love the personalities. I'm so excited about what you folks have planned. And for what it's worth, I recommend revisiting the remote-play setup over Zoom for a few episodes to include some friends who are too far away for travel; I still love to go back and watch some classic Snake Oil via Zoom.
