Ol’ Simone sounds like an affectionate way to refer to the village’s enigmatic old crone, like no one knows how long she’s been here or why she acts the way she does sometimes, but she’s fun to keep around.

[@lukecraver7966]

Okay I know it’s got the meme game in the title, BUT a very good hidden role game that would be good for Overboard is “The Menace Among Us.” Up to 8 players, Crew needs to get energy up to 100% and the two menaces want to get Oxygen to 0%. Lots of different types of cards and ways to be eliminated from the game. It’s very engaging and fun, and doesn’t always take long

[@oto946]

37:55 Clayton literally sent the three other people that went to a 4 person mission and failed, meaning if he is a good guy he should know as a fact that he sent a bad guy on a decisive mission.

[@baguettegott3409]

Jenna is my favourite type of player for games like this. She talks a lot and keeps the energy up and is always actively participating and plotting. She's really clever and an asset to whatever team she's on, and can usually fool me the first time around. And then the second time I watch it I pick up on all the suspicious behavior and mistakes that slipped through (she does have some tells imo) and think dammit, how did I not notice that the first time around?

[@Xandawesome]

On that last round of the second game, Clayton proposed the exact same team that failed mission 3, just without himself. Since he of course knew he was good, he must have known that at least one out of the three of them were evil, so what did he think was gonna happen? lol

[@BlackParade727]

I would argue that Arthurian legends do weirdly have a lot of identity hiding actually. Depending on the version you're reading, Guinevere actually doesn't know Arthur is king when she first sees him because he's blending in, unmarked, with his knights. Then there's The Knight of the Cart aka Lancelot who hides his identity multiple times in that. Etc etc. There's just a lot of metaphorically relevant and/or contrived identity hiding tbh lmao

[@kitking6462]

The Arthurian legends are full of hidden identity stuff! Most of it leads to hijinks, as is traditional.

[@WaterWolf.]

Jarvis and a Polygon hidden role game? Awesome! And coincidentally after I've spent most of the day listening to the Sad Boyz Podcast

[@NicknotNak]

I'll be honest, I spent the whole intro being like; is that Jarvis? It looks like Jarvis. But is it? He doesn't even do video games much, why would he be here? And then it was him!

[@kateeastland3328]

Seeing a new overboard in my subscription box is always such a good moment

[@baguettegott3409]

Both rounds I was able to correctly identify one of the evil ones, but was tricked by the other. Exactly how it should be imo :D Excellent game, and very well played Josh and Jenna

[@dustmithrarin]

jarvis's joke about Shane Dawson immediately elevated my interest level bc that was really witty and unexpected

[@charlieh4607]

banger of an episode for sure the brief counter spaghetti flashback just made me lose my mind

[@apkaoni7156]

These go by too fast I was like "oh god 41 minutes?" And then 5 minutes later we reached the outro..

[@4everSBs]

if Jarvis knew that Josh and Jenna were either Merlin or Morgana, and knew that there was a bad guy between Simone and Pat, he should have known that himself and Clayton were good!

[@rionsanura]

ok i deeply enjoyed the game and the players and i am amused intensely by Pat's sus first game and girlboss gaslighting and big-brain shenanigans, but i have to admit i was distracted significantly by the rennie stock music playing The Lick, a pervasive and significant musical meme, on midi harp and recorder at 10:12 and intermittent intervals thereafter

22:56 Pat: I would have to have balls of steel to sabotage this round! Also Pat: Immediately sabotages.

[@SureyD]

In case anyone is parsing through the comments to see if anyone explains the track below the quest track: it's the vote track. It increments by one everytime a team suggested has a majority of rejects in the votes. It is reset at the start of a round (so after a quest). If there are 5 failed team suggestions, the evil team just wins the game. So there is incentive to actually send a team out as the good team, and it's just one more tool for the evil team to use.

[@diegoborges1348]

I really loved the guest and the episode in general. Maybe one of my favorite Overboard episodes and I've watched them all many times over.

[@theowatchesyt]

[@orangesilver8]

I think this is a game that would benefit from having roles revealed. Because a lot of the complexity seems to be being a role that knows more. Like it would be nice to see what Merlin knows and how Merlin is leading the game. Or Percival's view which is a very unique piece of information.

[@NorthernStar27]

[@nvrndingsmmr]

[@bellathealien1506]

Pat just kinda sat, they all just turned on him

[@kaylenvee8150]

I still remember the very first game I had with my friends, I was the assassin. Bit of an explanation here, but though the evil team can discuss who they think Merlin is, only the assassin actually decides who they want to kill. They alone make the final decision. I managed to brain it out perfectly and not only figured out who Merlin was, but also who Percival, the one who's supposed to protect Merlin, was as well. The best part was that the Merlin wasn't actually obvious. They were VERY quiet and sneaky but I still caught them out. Not only that, I actually went against the opinions of my teammates to decide the kill. It was GREAT.
