[@probablyniall]

Tilly is a gem and her mere presence in any video just makes it so much better

[@Raye938]

At the switch Laurie said "choose" a bunch of times and I'm just sitting here like "No joke from Sullivan? Train goes choose choose!"

[@Luigiking3]

I wonder how this game would play without a saboteur. Don’t know if it’s just bad luck or what but definitely feels heavily weighted to explosion.

[@ulfjohnsen6203]

Since they had the rogue in both, I imagine that hurts the chance of the good guys.

[@doylerudolph7965]

The first game I imagine was heavily influenced by evil players sitting adjacent to each other, so Tilly and Holly confirmed each other's bluffs and made the game feel hopeless. But yeah, it didn't feel like good had a ton of influence over the game in either play.

[@diogeneticist3585]

From a bit of a look online it does seem like the game heavily favours the saboteur, and the designer has said that removing some of the full speed ahead cards can be an option to introduce more balance between power levels (responding to the recommendation from a player). I really like the concept of the game but I think the design needs some finessing for balance. I think even playing fully mask-off from the start a saboteur is still quite likely to win. (I think there are 24 spaces between the first opportunity to be thrown off the train and the train crashing. If the train is going full speed at that point and the players are able to decrement the speed once per turn then the train will stop 3 spaces from crashing, if they miss speed reductions the train will crash, and if they throw off the saboteur later they will crash.)

[@Fluff_Noodles]

​@@diogeneticist3585Ah it definitely felt unbalanced/unfair but seeing the actual numbers really puts it into perspective 💀

[@MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM-f4x]

In the game they even said the saboteur has to be in play

[@pjbogle1189]

I honestly wanna see people play this with no saboteur and see if they can stop the train bc it seems hard af. Like there seem to be waaaaayyyyyyy more speed up cards than slow down ones lol

[@doylerudolph7965]

Tilly absolutely killed it in both games, and Ken's slow roll was fantastic. I also enjoyed Holly playing juuuuust evil enough that the saboteur would know who she was... That's a lie, I didn't actually enjoy it. Not because of Holly or anything (love ya Holly, and it was super well played!) but because it felt like there wasn't much opportunity for the good team to influence the game, especially if they missed their opportunity on a bridge. The first game especially kinda felt like Candyland, since none of the players had relevant Interventions - it felt like it was just straight up determined by the order of the cards and the order of the players. I'm sure a lot of that was because the two evil players were next to each other so Tilly and Holly could confirm each other's bluffs and make it feel hopeless (again, super well played), but it certainly didn't make me feel like I'd want to play this game.

[@kcodydansereau5757]

38:30 Their reactions are the absolute BEST!!! Genuine shock and betrayal. So good. So good.

[@nikolamanojlovicci]

Congrats on the well-deserved 300k friends.

[@Smiley_AH]

Sully's laugh of horror and Laurie's look of surprise and betrayal is just the best thing ever. Well bloody played Tilly!

[@AlyxiSistahTweaky25]

Small sample size, but it really seem like this game is skewed towards the saboteur heavily.

[@taylor3950]

I think leaving the Rogue card out might help the balance

[@gyroscope915]

It feels basically impossible for the good team to ever win even without a sabatour

[@Angel0fSleep]

"...And Paris, Is A Shithole!" And then Teri murdered Laurie and they never found his body.

[@mathiasandersson4153]

I cannot tell how mush I love Tilly at 1:02:00. This is my new favourite moment of NRB ever.

[@Arlenthasala]

I was fully prepared for there to just be one game of this, but then there were two, which made me doubly happy.

[@Matthew-bu7fg]

This video should be retitled "Tilly's Finest Hour" . Her best performance in BGC

[@scragar]

It's not "helic" and "opter" it's "helico"(meaning "to spiral") and "pter"(meaning "wing").

[@iwanstruggles5465]

Ooh! New additions to the intro sequence! I spot Ken, Rosie, and a French hand....

[@laurennicole9169]

French hand was always there

[@thesunwillneverset]

Good to see someone else also spotted Ken & Rosie in the intro, thought I'd missed something last episode. Fitting, given they're both mainstays on the channel.

[@An3piCGingy]

At 51:20 they don't actually need to move the remaining 5 steps, the signal box stops you dead then after the vote it's the next person's turn

[@danliness5455]

It's pretty rare to see a board game played 100% correctly or without mistakes on this channel. That's why I like the house rules games. Then it doesn't even matter.

[@genesis4322]

The intro alone lets me know this is going to be a good one. Congratulations on 300k subs as well.

[@saskiajawatts]

After that video where Sully got cut off finishing those Nobody's Perfect lyrics, I'm glad he finally got his moment to shine in Hannah Montana

I would just like to congratulate Laurie for all his great work on the channel. You have been doing a terrific job mate. Loving the content!

[@loke6664]

Rogue seems free with 6 players because as long as they get all the sus, they can distract all the good guys and let the saboteur work. I'm not sure if Holly meant to get that sus so early every time, but if it works it works 😂! Good job!

[@ManlyPicnics]

Clearly the saboteur win is actually the best outcome, it means no one has to go to Paris ever again.

I would love love LOVE to see this make another appearance on the channel! Though Holly might wanna work on that poker face. And Tilly's poker face is maybe TOO DAMN GOOD WHAT THE HELL.

[@Umbrellie_]

17:37 ACTUALLY Sullivan, it's Helico-pter. Helico refers to a Helix in the way the blades spin, and Pter meaning Wing (as in a Pterodactyl, "Wing Fingers"). It's a Spiral Wing, basically. A fun addition to this is that it implies it'd be a Silent P just like in Pterodactyl like I said before, so it'd be Helicoter. Languages are weird.

[@shadiester]

Actually, even more weirdly, I believe it implies the opposite: i.e. that the 'p' in pterodactyl originally wasn't silent!

[@joz534]

"P" in Pterodactly is silent?!?!?!?!?!?

[@8han]

​@@shadiesterI believe this was true of all uses of the letter P combined with another consonant in words derived from Greek. I think some languages still pronounce the P. The English language was just simplified so we end up with a lot of silent letters

[@tafua_a]

Fun fact: in Italian the "pt" in helicopter became a double t, basically making the p silent. However, in the italian word "pterodactyl" the p isn't silent. Languages are very weird.@@shadiester

[@AngelaLSullivan]

This was one of those videos where I did not want it to end because I wanted to see more gameplay and use of the intervention cards/roles! Pretty sure that means this one should pop on my wishlist.

[@stevieinselby]

Sully Van is _almost_ right about the derivation of helicopter, it is split in a way that you probably wouldn't expect: helico- meaning spiral (as in helix) -pter meaning wings (as in pterodactyl)

[@TheFudorin]

A little train to go back and forth between the individuals on the ends of the game table would be awesome!

[@Ti_Daley]

Each player chooses a character randomly, which includes the saboteur role. So you can have games without a saboteur present. Including the Stuntman and Rogue characters is for advanced play and the manual reccomends not adding them in for initial play or for games with fewer players.

[@Phyrre56]

I checked the rulebook and this is incorrect. There is always a Saboteur. But it does say to leave the Rogue out for new players or fewer than 6 players.

[@jaydereszynski3101]

WOOOO ITS THE BEST TIME OF THE WEEK!!! ITS BOARD GAME CLUB!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Naelhinn]

"and Paris... is a shithole!" Truer words have never been spoken. Let us all forget Paris even exists and enjoy the blissfulness of a parisless world

[@toomuchfreetime2637]

this type of the games are never my favorite tbh, the game mechanic would be way to easy to win so to balance it they just chuck way more bad cards in than good cards, at which point its more just a game of getting lucky instead of any actual social deduduction. anyways! thats only my critism of these type of games i still enjoyed the video! great as always

[@SunriseAshes]

I was going to comment the same thing. These types of games are always weighted in favour of the evil player(s). I had a game of Feed the Kraken where the pirates did diddly squat the whole game and won because the cards the good team pulled kept pushing them towards the pirate cove with no way of correcting. The frustrating part is we had the baddies sussed (both went overboard) and knew who to trust yet the cards were never on our side.

[@toomuchfreetime2637]

@SunriseAshes yep! Along with secret Hitler this was the other game I was thinking about with my last comment, they played it too a while ago

[@aurora5481]

@@toomuchfreetime2637 To be fair, Secret Hitler does play like that on purpose due to its inspiration -- and crucially, if the players figure out the fascists, they still have a chance to win at the very endgame. This one gives you _maybe_ one single window to remove the saboteur, gives a bunch of reasons and extra roles to prevent that from happening anyway, and it doesn't seem like there's enough time after the bridge to course correct if you don't happen to have that "reduce to 30 kmh" card already in hand, even if there are no evil players left.

[@shaylethorne2387]

I gotta be honest, Holly sucks at lying. She always says "I know its not me", or acts indignant that they suspect her.

[@doylerudolph7965]

Benefit of the doubt on this one, I think it was on purpose. Being juuuuust evil enough as the rogue means the saboteur knows who their teammate is and can hide themselves more effectively. In general though, there aren't many times she's been evil that I haven't sussed her out, although a lot of those are a bit unfair because in like Clocktower we know what her role is beforehand.

[@craigabbott6402]

With another train video I am surprised once again that NRB has not played Ticket to Ride on the channel

[@helgecko]

They've played it on Board Game Arena (online) for Patreon. TTR is a pretty dull game though, to be honest. It might have been exciting when it first came out, but games have gotten so much better since then.

[@ryanbeckett2313]

@@helgecko 1. For Patron is not the same think as on the channel. I am more hoping for a Board Game Club episode. And more importantly 2. TTR is anything but boring, in fact I would argue that it’s one of my favorite games of all time and isn’t the same any of the ~100 times I have played it and I Don think it’s overshadowed by newer games either. There are so many interesting things that can happen like when you are trying to get one route complete but you get blocked off by the competition, or not drawing what you need and having to change your plan midway through the game etc. Definitely I get good reactions from my friends when we play it together. I also would recommend playing with either the extra cards of the 1910 expansion, which makes the strategy even more interesting by adding a lot more routes and the most routes completed card, or playing the Europe version that has the tunnels to use as well to change up the game. That said I think the base game is interesting enough as it stands though.

This game seems really badly designed. Really hard to stop the train makes it a lot about the luck of the draw, not talking about roles is quite a weird choice in a game like this, the bridge throwing mechanic does not seem to work well either as there is no reason not to chuck someone off, the stuntman is a very stupid role in a game like this...
