Okay Adam! :D

[@Housenflou]

Laurie has caught on to Adam's plan to increase his chances of winning by playing shorter games.

[@Paper_Smith]

I think you’re right! Haha it also helps because in a team game his odds go from 1 in 7 to 1 in 2!

[@andyme3541]

@@Paper_Smith Also they increase because in a team game people can't play 'Get Adam' well they can but it hurts them as much as Adam

[@mrj3ckl314]

let's face it no one wants to see monopoly played on this channel even as a torture for adam most would not sit through 5 games of that let alone watch it

[@Brodysseus]

Shorter games *and* co-op/players v game games.

[@jackmitchell9079]

Tbf he also did just win a 3 on 1 game. Not every game they play needs to be a 1-2 hour long game. I like these short games, gives better variety and also hilarious when someone ends up with a role they don't want to play 3 straight times.

Adam might need to rewatch the Resolutions video from the start of the year he said he'd win 22 out of 50 episodes of board game club, but the resolution appears to now be the much easier task of "win 22 games". i see you, Adam, and i will not let you forgo your Monopoly games.

In that last game I honestly thought Laurie was Arthur. The way he kept zeroing in on Brooke without much defense for it made it seem like he knew she was Le Fay even before the very suspicious two-fail quest. I should never have doubted his misdirection skills. Choosing to give her leadership was calculated.

[@MonkeyBscts]

I remember Avalon, when Brooke confessed to something that made me laugh so hard I nearly passed out.

[@vbkfivn]

[@MonkeyBscts]

@@crpCph Oh I’d never spoil this for anyone. One of the many show stealing moments Brooke Bourgeois has had on this channel. An utter legend.

[@barbrr]

It was actually the most fun game to play along! Unlike many other social deduction games like thing or dead of winter, in this game guessing roles is the point of the game, and unlike Clocktower i can choose to not know the roles Call me a massive nerd but i spent about two hours watching this video and pausing it from time to time to make tables and draw elaborate scemes of who can and can’t be particular roles. At the end of 2nd game i also had 5 lists of which player is which role, and i actually had all the evil players got correctly in the first list! I just wanted to share cuz i really enjoyed that :)

[@Mattiasthesecond]

Clocktower you can search player perspective if you want to be part of deducting :) NRB so far only made storyteller perspective

[@totz_the_plaid9625]

It's a shame that the Quests weren't described, unlike in the Avalon episode from the Zoom era. No search for bleach or for a toilet to clean with said bleach once it's been acquired... Still a fun video and I enjoyed it immensely, though!

[@TheThunderinghammer]

This game seems insanely hard for the evil team to win, its just so stacked against them.

[@lesbaguette4381]

Yeah - I much prefer Avalon, with the right setup, to this. I've played... a lot of Avalon, and was looking into Quest. I am looking no longer 😅

[@DarrenFoster]

Yeah unless good does silly tactics (like the search for evil), the magic gives good a really strong chance to build a voting bloc. The first success is guaranteed whoever isn't magicked isn't going to put in a fail anyway unless they have to. Good as a team is basically just searching for no more than 2 potential evils for the 4th quest (so they can magic one), and likely already having 2 successes by that point from the freebie and 1 of the 2 other quests just by chance. Once evil crosses the hump of Quest 4 though victory I think swings back into their odds.

[@bmagada]

The too sweet bananza there for a minute was great lol "ehhhh is this a wrestling thing?" Yes Jon it most certainly is.

[@joshgrieb7378]

It's rude to call others liars... but the NRB players are very skilled at... bluffing, shall we say. Your play already has me considering to buy Quest. I like it's rules variations from other similar social deduction games like The Resistance, etc. It's always a joy to watch your group twist itself into knots, agonizing over who to trust and who to blame. Also, I never look to see who plays which roles to keep the surprises and suspense in play for myself Anyone else refuse to look? Another episode to surmount the mountain of great NRB content! Cheers.

It’s the best time of the week! ITS BAIRD GAME CLUB!!!! ❤

[@sabnock31]

This game seems heavily stacked against bad guys. Good guys insta win if there are 3 missions won. Good guys still have a chance to win if 3 missions failed. Good guys automatically have a Hunter if they lose. Better yet, they all become Hunters that is not restricted by guessing correct roles. In this group Blind Hunter has 33% chance to outright lose a game if he guesses one of the bad guys. Blind Hunter CAN'T hunt if good guys win. Which is outright stupid. This way there is no way for bad guys to have a chance of winning. Blind Hunter have to hunt only when bad guys already winning. He has to guess EXACT roles of two good guys. So it means there is NO point in using Blind Hunters ability at all if don't know EXACTLY roles of the good guys. Blind Hunter is literally garbage role that only ruins the game for bad guys, while somewhat restricting good guys's investigation roles from telling the info. I think to make this game a bit more fair Blind Hunter should be just Hunter, he could see his companions and hunt when the good guys have won on the missions. Edit 10 months later: Yeah, Changeling also should know who are the other bad guys as he is just hindrance to the team early game. He can change shape, he still has eyes.

[@collectorofmyst2107]

Well, Tilly knew there was a Blind Hunter in play, and Sully and Holly (not Brooke, tho) did narrow down the Youth and Cleric to her and Adam, so she couldn't throw too much suspicion on him or she would possibly get identified.

Excitement and being human so they forgot

[@rickthompson3843]

If I understand the Blind Hunter correctly, the role only comes into play if the game ends with good's last stand. The Hunter can act before the good team gets to make their guesses. I wasn't able to find the official rules online, so this is just from reading the forum's on BGG. It also seems there are different rules based on player count. edit: I looked at the text on the Blind Hunter card when Adam shows it in game 2, and it does say they can activate the hunt during the Final Quest, which is that bit where good gets a last chance at winning.

Just recently found this show and I find it to be quite good. Sometimes you get a little boisterous for my taste, but that is ok; you're having fun. I find Tilly to be my favorite, she seems to be the most mellow and has a beautiful elegance about her. She reminds of Diana Rigg; whom I have always have thought was the epitome of an English woman. Anyways, I've been playing boardgames since the 1970's (I was playing 1st edition D&D when that was the only edition). Seeing you all playing warms the heart that d&d , call of cthulhu and wargames are still alive and thriving. In fact, one of the first dates that I took my wife of 26 years on, was a call of cthulhu adventure. Will continue to watch your channel; cheers from the United States.

Big oof from Brooke basically outing herself and Sullivan as evil at the end with that not magicing him play Also, well played Tilly that second game. Acting like she had no knowledge of Sullivan showing her evil

[@MeonLights]

I think she could have thrown a spanner in the works by magicing herself and sell it as an experiment. She could still have played a fail since she was Morgan. But those games are always tricky and I think taking Jon instead of Sully would have thrown suspicion on Jon.

[@TheFinalChapters]

She had no good options. She was basically forced to take Sully (or Jon) and *not* magic either of them. The quest needed two fails and evil would instantly lose otherwise. With that in mind, all that remained was the excuse why.

[@IceMetalPunk]

In that second game Laurie outed himself as trouble so much when he accused Holly and didn't even raise possibility of troublemaker he just said evil (she then didn't claim trouble so he could run with it but as a hunter I had that figured) I MIGHT have guessed cleric because Tilly had a world view of Sully being good at one point and then unquestionally said to pick him but that one would have me knowing sully was evil which I don't think I would be sure of.

If you get this game, cheek and use the Director's Cut rules included, and always use the Blind hunter role, as its part of its core as intended by the designer.

Is the evil team unbalance or something? This feel like the evil team especially with the changing have a hard time to win compare to good team. Anyone know was there a better evil team to make it more of a balance game? At least for the first game. 2nd game seems slightly more balance but also more complicated Just got to the end of 2nd game. The blind hunter should not come out, also I feel like the blind hunter and good have to guess at the same time to Be fair. I also thought that the trouble maker has to lie about loyalty which includes when they check others, either I understand wrongly or the trouble maker didn't do it. Spoiler abit 3rd game, y didn't the bad guys get a last chance???? Also Brook misplayed so hard. Aot least magic herself or throw suspicion to someone else like Laurie as Morgan.
