[@qbreezy2417]

It was very funny and I completely agreed with him. That was the most outrageous connection made all game.

[@portc.642]

36:30 Sully trying to make fun of how absurd and out-there everyone else's connections in this game are like "SECRET dinosaurs in SECRET ice cubes" only for Carley to right after score 3 points with the same connection he said as a joke. This is hysterical

[@unexpected2475]

Easily the best moment in the episode.

[@emm4rmstrong]

Especially the camera angle as Sully says it with the look on Adam's face.

[@shaneleal2798]

Best timeline: Adam doesn’t get to 22 wins by the end of the year but is given one last chance…by playing Diplomacy with Dom.

[@undead_pr1est978]

For the content 🙏

[@atesemireltutar6661]

He can't possibly win a game of diplomacy, so he will both play diplomacy with Dom and he will play 5 consecutive rounds of monopoly

[@TheWobbinator1]

That would be phenomenal

[@stingersplash]

He actually said 22 wins out of 50 weeks. He hasn't won 21 weeks.....I'm hoping for a wrestling twist when he thinks he did it but actually failed long ago. He's lost more than 50 games.

The Thing, Nemesis, Dune, any betrayer/social deduction game: Calm, relaxed atmosphere Stella, Monsdrawsity, Skull, any abstract game: *Continuous screaming and swearing*

[@chaosof99]

Stella: A contemplative game about the significance of imaginary artwork and likeminded thinking. NRB: Hooting, hollering and teasing people. Spoilers: Not only a beautiful display of the friendship between Sully and Adam, but Sully may have saved Adam from having to play Monopoly.

[@KatT89]

While looking up this game I read a review which said 'not a game that lends itself go hooting and hollering' and then read this comment 🤣

Laurie’s “Is his name Lenny” has to be the funniest literary reference I have heard all day

[@alharron2145]

Underrated

[@sonan333]

What's your average for literary references per day? Then again, this being the one and only I suppose does work.

[@TheDarksaphira]

Oh GOD the 'secret wineglasses, with secret dinosaurs in secret ice cubes' screaming from Sullivan beeing so done with this round and Adam and Carley being the ones who picked that specific card and made a special connection out of it. That was amazing!

[@slidetrombone]

the nerve of Dom, trying to kiss Sully's boyfriend right in front of him!

[@Fluff_Noodles]

36:30 Sully mocking the cards only for them to actually be Carley's genuine answer is absolutely hilarious. I laughed so hard I had to pause to cough 😆😆😆😆😆

[@SullySideUp]

"I've not seen anyone just so wholeheartedly reject the concept of a game before, as much as you Tilly" Adam says, about the person who, at this point, is in second place

[@jeremyburnet4855]

Carleys “it was fucken’ birth” made me laugh so much 😂

[@joshkaid]

[@sonan333]

So you said there was a total of 79 games, but Adam's total only adds up to 77. What were the two games that he wasn't in?

[@Kalmakka]

It is really wonderful the way Carley tries to say the word "secret" as if it means "surprise".

[@meganfahrenschon9322]

In all fairness, a surprise is just a recently revealed secret 💁‍♀️

[@DyslecticAttack]

To be fair. For something to be a surprise something has to be unknown. And if one entity knows it (or has known it) and another doesn't, then it could be called secret. So while a surprise isn't the same as a secret, it does have a lateral connection to secrecy and secrets.

[@coyraig8332]

For the sake of being fair, secret is almost a synonym for mystery

[@cybervenom2001]

Everyone looks so dapper and lovely here! And Laurie looks like he's going to catch many fish on the boat!

[@calumm8165]

Love Dom and Tilly’s interactions. Great episode

[@morkmeatshield5373]

Laurie, Dom, Sully, Carley, Brooke, Tilly... ANYBODY beat Adam next week so he HAS TO PLAY Monopoly! it will be the GREATEST EPISODE EVER!

[@scorchingshark6424]

The Sully cutaway at 41:20 had me laughing out loud in the middle of the night. That was a beautiful edit. I got real vibes of The Fast Show from it.

[@BasketOfPuppies642]

So far it looks like we have Brooke x Sully x Adam x Dom How deep does the NRB polycule go?

[@probably_em]

Pretty sure there have been at least a few nods towards Laurie and Adam as well... I can't get enough of the chaos between these five, it's becoming an issue

[@Qyro]

Man these gameplays are just getting better and better. I’ve had to pause the video after laughing so hard at Sully proudly pointing out a card without secrets to show how silly it is, only for Carley to immediately pick it and connect with Adam, that I was crying and wheezing. I need a few minutes to catch my breath.

[@richardbrown3055]

Had never realized it before, but Sully and Dom have such amazing Doctor and Master energy.

[@Kylobek]

Ever since the Call of Cthulhu episode I've learned to love Dom more and more. I think it might make him to powerful to know that.

[@red5_skywalker]

If you enjoy that, you should listen to his podcast "the apocalypse players"

[@jakeausman1402]

Sully's little smile after yelling Stella really did it for me

[@shalaz1981]

“Was his name Lenny?” was the best line that everyone ignored. Forget board games, I’m here for the Steinbeck punchlines.

[@Crysarcher]

After seeing Mysterium, I kinda expected this semi co-op game to go wrong at some point and it did, hilariously so! Laurie with the amazing first round, I rooted for you!

When Adam loses his goal and has to play all those wonderful monopoly games, we need to make sure that we have the number one monopoly player there. That’s right. We need to get Denise salsado to fly out and get on board.

Obviously filmed before the Candyland video. Adam and Sully died to amuse me.😔

This might be my favorite NRB video

[@charlietwoteas3676]

This seems like a fun game to play with the family. Fun episode as always. Having recently played Cyclades and thoroughly enjoying the tension and conflict I think it would be an amazing game for you to play on the channel. Just think of Laurie and Dom trying to outbid each other for Ares or Poseidons affection while Sully and Adam laugh about buying beardy boys from Athena. A bit more complex than a lot of the games you play in this series but could be ridiculously good content.

[@wheresmywaterhelp]

Awesome game! I played along with it as well, noting my guesses for each stage, and my notes for notable misses and unpopular guesses. 1. Birthday (4): OOOXO OOXOO OXXOO B4 (bottom row 4th card) - 2 people only hardly reflects a birthday M3 - Same reason as given: I thought it was a metaphor for birth 2. Attention (8): OOXXO XOXOX OXXXO T1 - I'm sad I missed this B1 - This didn't seem like attention to me. At the party, attention is scattered all over B2 - You need attention to drive a plane B3 - The figure is drawing the attention of the 3 people who are sewing T3 - You need attention to pull out the sword in the stone B4 - The 2 masked people seemed like they were drawing attention by presenting themselves with that pose 3. Secret (7): OXXOO OOXOO XXOXX M2 - Not familiar with Secret Garden B2 - 2 people (well, creatures) together, in the air, must be far away from everyone else, must be a secret time 4. Paris (4): OOXOX OOXOO XOOOO My guesses are bad because I'm unfamiliar with Paris TT T3 - I only chose this because it showed a heart, and Paris is the city of love T5 - The stone reminded me of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. However, I now realise it is in Italy, not Paris or France 🤦‍♂ (I did not allow myself to google during the game) M3 - All the cooking stuff, could be for making bread B1 - Looks like a bar, generic crowded spot in a populated city I would like someone to help me explain the big misses, in particular: T4, T2, M2, B3 Looking forward to seeing Decrypto next week! It's my favourite game, and the first video I watched on the channel.

I was thinking “secret” for the woman ostensibly on the moon as well, but for a different reason: the kimono, sweeping, and bonsai tree gave me Zen vibes, and for some reason my mind associates meditation, monks, and enlightenment with secrets.
