[@fiend-off-the-grid]

I like how the time code in the edit doesn't land in the 40 minute scream zone XD time code for that is 52:26

[@JeuxAleatoires_B]

@@fiend-off-the-grid thanks, i was confused by that

[@Cruzz999]

This may be a bit too disconnected, but I need to know what the intro music is, is it written for the show, or is it another song that I can find somewhere? I want it, I need it!

[@Mechmonkey85]

@Cruzz999 I think the opening song is copyright free. I heard another youtuber use it but I can’t remember the name.

[@DR.64A9]

Tilly's confidence level has skyrocketed since joining. That slammed joke was great.

[@MultiKarmacharger]

Brooke must be *incensed* with how much Tilly and Sully slammed

[@IceMetalPunk]

@@MultiKarmacharger I mean, they're not together anymore, so 🤷‍♂

[@Inncomendatus]

​@@IceMetalPunkI didn't know. Was it a distance thing?

[@demondog4342]

@@IceMetalPunkwhere did you hear this from

[@IceMetalPunk]

@@Inncomendatus Not sure, but probably. Brooke moved back to the States at the same time they broke up, so if I had to speculate on their lives, I'd say that was probably a major factor.

[@DaveChalker]

Hi, one of the game designers of Thunder Road: Vendetta here. Thanks so much for playing the game and doing such a great job showing it off. Just one quick rules correction: the lowest roll takes the first turn of the game, but for every turn afterward, the start player (and road die) just passes to the left.

[@iansutton7416]

Thanks - it had planted a doubt in my mind, so good to confirm we'd been playing it correctly. Oh, and what a wonderful job you did on this game. Comparing the 1980s version with this, you see the core concepts / aims the same, but the experience is massively more engaging now. The earlier edition I'd find unplayable now, whilst this version is such a joy to play. As a further aside, I recommended it one of our newer gaming group members last week, someone with very limited exposure to modern board gaming. I checked up how she got on with it last week, as I wasn't sure if it might work well or be overwhelming, and her eyes lit up! "It was just my sort of game!" she said.😎.

[@SpaceMissile]

this was very fun to watch! nice work.

[@fenske4505]

Rolling and going with the lowest every round is better in my opinion.

[@233Deadman]

@@fenske4505 I'd agree, makes it more unpredictable, if you don't know who's going first each time you need to try and plan for that as well.

[@roberto6698]

Please reprint Maximum Chrome! 🙏

[@commonaccidents1047]

Adam: *refuses to take out Tilly's final car* Tilly: Fine, I'll do it myself.

[@courtney-ray]

I don’t understand why she drove into that oil slick 😂

[@Rowanexen]

The lack of Laurie doesn't feel quite right 😂😂😂 Apparently Laurie himself agreed haha

[@emeraldninjalink6312]

Yeah, when they started the game I was like “holy crap where’s Laurie?!”

[@Kalesoup_]

Laurie was too busy getting hair extensions. Whenever he shows up with luscious locks, you'll forgive the lack of Laurie

[@TF1990]

Let’s be honest…this game screams Laurie and so they said: We are going to die every turn

[@xxskabxx]

It’s only because Adam is trying to stack wins. This is fraudulent.

[@master1442p]

It is a noticeably different vibe without him! Hope he's back soon!

[@poparena]

23:10 for when you go the 40 minute mark, realize there's no joke edited there, and want to go back but lost your place.

[@bearjewify]

The fact there was a sully cutaway had my hopes up for a second

[@simcowgames981]

Think they forgot to account for the Adam explaining in the time stamp

[@Oscarsaurus1234]

Correct timestamp is 52:20 😊

[@courtney-ray]

It’s at 52:25

[@Siberius-]

I subjectively say it's funnier if you just watch the video and have it be a thing that pops up that you had totally forgotten about. Delayed gratification indeed.

[@master1442p]

I want a mini series where Tilly has to learn and explain complicated board games to Holly in a certain time frame where they just make up half of the rules

[@joshuasakai4778]

I'm just picturing Sully in the art going "Shiny and Chrome ay?" In the same tone of "oh a piece of candy" and it's really sending me

[@thesilliestsillyofalltime]

i cackled 😭

[@SCMabridged]

"I died as I lived: a ghost." Favourite line ever.

[@SpaceMissile]

Actual poetry.

[@Yivia]

Glad to hear Rosie behind the scenes, can't wait to see her playing again 🎉

[@turnipcrazy4602]

We've really been blessed with a lot of car themed games as of late. Normally I would hate it, because I don't usually love car themed stuff, but they always make the videos hilarious to watch.

[@IceMetalPunk]

Same!

[@elerielouie3160]

"But you know, I've got a kid now. And it needs to be fed with blood." 10/10 No notes; best thing I've ever heard; favorite sentence of the year

[@D0makr0m3]

25:59 I don’t know why, but sully’s reaction to Holly knowing a reference that his mum use to make feels like something we all strive for when we make niche references; shock and delight that somebody in this random world fits your brand of weird.

[@MeonLights]

Especially when you think your mum might have made it up 😂

[@swivvy3037]

Only recently found this channel and been absolutely hooked. Watching a few hours a day to try catch up

[@denja964]

Welcome! These dorks are amazing and this channel is one of the gems that never ceases to make me happy.

[@laurenzo4051]

Same!

[@lecantalouprouge]

that's what i'm currently doing!

[@cookiestyleguy5886]

The idea of bloodthirsty Tilly sending a barrage of bullets at Adam only to have a piece of debris fling her over Adam and into a cliff will never cease to make me laugh.

[@dxdynamite47]

Moves slider to 40:00 - Nothing. Whew. Gets to 52:00 - Pure chaos. Sully, please never change.

[@TheJustChess]

The 40 minute screaming session actually got me to subscribe 52:46

[@drpepperm1nt]

for me it was 52:25

[@tillyc2448]

​@@drpepperm1nt same for me! Thank you for posting it! I was looking XD

[@ishanaprabhakar7542]

thank you for marking when that actually happened

[@breadbyss5311]

Another great episode, you really have a nice car theme going these last couple weeks

[@blunderstruck1]

they should play the nightmare that is pitch cars again

[@matsvee6746]

​​@@blunderstruck1f they do this, then the only 3 people to return from the original pitch cars vid should be Laurie, Sully and Dom. There should be no Adam, and Sully could host, but Adam would still be there - with Teri.

[@Lex_brooke]

@@blunderstruck1i lowkey want them to reply that one, even on a livestream. I rewatch that video regularly because it's got such a 'hanging out with the family at christmas' vibes

[@blunderstruck1]

@@Lex_brooke I enjoyed the vid too but I think ur forgetting that like a third of it was the fast forward sequence, more than any of their other videos I’m pretty sure. I trust that the editor had a good reason for thinking ppl would not want to watch several minutes straight of ppl flicking without progress

[@FearNLoathing0]

I've said it before I'll day it again, Tilly is such a good addition, so funny

[@grproteus]

what a game, what a lovely game

[@TNAralwaysfun]

I see what you did there

[@ElGoro]

Oh man, I remember playing the original Thunder Road when I was a kid, handed down to me and my friends from my father. This new version looks great.

[@Gabbo_hc]

Tilly is becoming one of the best NRB members. Was she referencing "vroom vroom" with the lets ride lines?

[@TheBeastBoss04]

She was in my favourite TV show, so she is my favourite member by default

[@beejamjam]

Please let it be true

[@Yivia]

Has to have been, with the repetition and pointed speaking lol. XCX baybee

[@leroy7647]

This is a great episode. Smaller cast, way different dynamic. Not that there's anything wrong with the bigger groups, but somehow it's more cozy and silly like this, which is a nice change of pace. Also Adam's enjoyment for the sheer possibilities of destruction by using the heli is wholesome.

[@Idk-ys7rt]

Another *Banger* of Board Game Club from No Rolls Barred! 💥💥💥

[@OptimusProvost]

Anybody else say to themselves “even under the constraints of lockdown” after Adam says “…to show you how much fun board gaming can be.”?

[@ericslingerland5472]

Every time

[@FatesChosenHero]

Another wonderfully fun episode! Also, I feel like each week I find another easter egg in the opener I didn't notice the week before.

[@courtney-ray]

I miss the tower of destiny

[@aos-archive]

rules correction: The "roll for the smallest value to determine first player" is only to start the game. First Player each round moves clockwise around the table.

[@kyleweeks2941]

I was looking for this! Just played this game over the weekend and I thought I played wrong. Turns out it was NRB goofing it up!

[@dykam]

For some reason I like this version too. Makes it less predictable.

[@MrTominous]

Indeed, which is really unfortunate for Sully since he would've had that 6 to repair his inoperable car when they forced a reroll.

[@zwergfeige]

"I died as I lived - a ghost" is my favorite line ever!!

[@darrentuckwell3620]

Adams last nrb ☹️ I miss him.

[@jahbrakr]

NRB is kinda not good without him tbh.

[@Danny_DaKid]

Does anyone know why he left?

[@crazyhudson]

@@Danny_DaKidsexual misconduct allegations.

[@sergiojuan217]

I believe harassment allegations

[@ThePUGcast]

The 'Shiny and Chrome' hand gesture is meant to represent a V8 engine

[@Owen_Redding]

Damn is this really gonna be adams final board game club ep?

[@nightclyve2857]

Am I alone by finding Immortan Sullivan the single most hilarious thing I've ever seen?

[@hammyjammies]

Another game containing cars which have horsepower, Sully is going to need a cold shower or 5 after this

[@lightyear999]

As people have mentioned, “Uh oh, Chungo” is from Danger Island which was a serial on the Banana Splits show in the 60’s. While the Splits would use the phrase to introduce the latest episode, it was actually used in the show itself. There was a character named Chungo and his friend would use the phrase when he wanted him to show up. I also believe Chungo never spoke.

[@Oscarsaurus1234]

Timestamp for the 40 minute scream is actually 52:20 for anyone interested 😁

[@TNAralwaysfun]

Its 3am but I stat up for this. Best time if the week. Thank you Adam and whole team

[@GamerBadger82]

26:33 Thank you! for saving me from an ADHD tangent hunting that down! 😅

[@johnwalker6557]

I am so glad I found this channel. Absolutely the best vids to have up while working. Keep up the amazing content!

[@Jonathan_Davis66]

The in-game banter is second to none. You guys are hilarious.

[@lemiless]

Uh oh... Chongo Danger Island is a live-action adventure serial produced by Hanna-Barbera and originally broadcast in 1968-69 as a segment of The Banana Splits Adventure Hour. It was filmed in Mexico, directed by future Superman, The Goonies and Lethal Weapon director Richard Donner, and featured Jan-Michael Vincent as Lincoln 'Link' Simmons.

[@DenisRyan]

Thunder Road Vendetta is my group's current hot favourite!! It's so, so much fun! I got the Maximum Chrome Kickstarter edition, and the truck and motor bikes are hilarious additions, but the core game is strong enough! Highly recommended.

[@Phlarx]

The team could really have used a second dice tray for this one!

[@Raper-rk9qt]

Only started watching the channel 2 weeks ago when I stumbled on Communopoly and I love it. Really feels like you're playing games with your friends

[@BinkSayres]

Movement clarification: To get the Road Die bonus, you must start, move through, and end on only tiles that count as roads. That's includes any hazards you move over. The background of the mud tile is an offroad and the oil slick has a road on it. During the vid, it was specified that you start and end on a road tile but was still played correctly during the game.

[@Diamondmite]

Just waiting for the week where we expect some four player board game, the video begins and Stalin pops his head round

[@jaydereszynski3101]

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

[@ProBadSing]

Adam's understated "I shot you down" response to "Bang bang" though.

[@theepiccrafthouse9760]

I recently discovered this group and love their chaotic energy. So i did a search to see if theyve played one of my most favorite board games "Bang!" I was suprised to see they haven't and really hope they will some time.

[@anna-rose-0909]

Hilarious episode, thank you NRB

[@realmzjetter409]

The War Boys are part of the Cult of the V8. The hand salute they do imitates the eight pistons (the four fingers on each hand) of a V8 engine.

[@KMReviews]

I have this game and it’s so much fun. I wish they had played the full game drafting unique powers and having assymetric abilities!

[@FatCastro]

That's only if you have the Kickstarter exclusive expansion. This is the retail version.

[@KMReviews]

@@FatCastro I know that’s my point. I wish they played the other version..

[@Sgrand80]

This is the full game. You are talking about adding an expansion.

[@KMReviews]

@@Sgrand80 yes I know that’s my point.. including everything. It’s way more fun.

[@KMReviews]

@@12thLevelSithLord yes I understand that. I just said I wish they could have.

[@DTLSinger]

Anyone else think it’s funny that the 40 minute scream happened at 52:26? Lol

[@Bi0ha2a7d]

Uh-oh, Chongo! is a catchphrase from "The Banana Splits Adventure Hour" which used to be a old kids tv show in the late 60's.

[@SmokeRingHalo]

I was wondering if you guys were going to play this one. It's been our favorite for awhile now.

[@Galloglaoch]

Ohohoho I love this! I love IT! Bit weird with no Imortan Laurie but the whole gang is awesome so...we managed. It was fine. No...it was awesome! Good one lads! You're really motivating me to unpackage my Chrome edition and finally force it on the table as it does look fun. I wanna have fun. YEah...I'll do that. Thank you lads!

[@lucash741]

52:25 for the actual screams btw

[@stbenc]

Would love to see this again, but with the expansion stuff, unique powers for players and cars… real chaos

[@miltosapozante]

Dear NRB crew, thank you for all the great work. Just wanted to say, your new color grading is a bit tiring after a few minutes of watching. I get you want to make things brighter than the previous set up, but the highlights are burning my eyes. Again sorry for the crankiness. Keep Up the great work!

[@alexfirefly1956]

I love that the 40 minute time stamp joke didn’t work because of the intro/explaining of rules

[@thegreatyeti33]

For anyone interested, you roll (lowest score) for first player, only in the first round. For the rest of the game, the road die is passed to the player on the left at the end of round. It basically acts as a rotating first player marker.

[@dayoltay]

I cracked on that slam joke haha this was a really fun play through thank you all

[@shauntilton1432]

Machine gun fire, leads to shrapnel, leads to car firing machine gun catapulting into a rock. I would like to see that in a movie.

[@noahjervis957]

What a game! Don’t know if it’s just you lot being entertaining or if this is just the most tense racing game I’ve seen. Either way well done.

[@tolkienfan4ever]

I would play this game any time, any where. It’s a fav with my semi regular Saturday game group.

[@ABlokeCalledDaz]

[@Rafaelinux]

Hey, thanks for toning down the toxic yellow curtains. It looks better now!

[@jekanyika]

26:09 There was a tv series from the late 60s called *_Danger Island_* . "Uh-oh, Chongo" was a catchphrase associated with it so maybe Sully is misremembering that.

[@keithparker1346]

He's remembering what is mother(?) says. Sully is in his early 30s I guess so is not from that period. He's not old enough. Being old enough to have actually seen it but I recall it as "Oh Oh JUNGLE ..." I could search for a video to double check but can't be arsed at the mo

[@SpaceMissile]

58:53 - don't you mean. ...CARma? PS: this was very fun and I would totally watch another go.

Oooo I bought this game a couple of weeks ago and waiting to play it. Didn't expect this on NRB :D So hyped!

An episode without Laurie? Outrageous

[@captaincaterpie]

an episode of a board game that is literally about raming your little cars into other small cars and trying to drive your friends off the highway into certain death? even more outrageous.

[@rawvoodoo]

"Uh oh its Chungo. Danger island next" is from The Banana Splits. It was a kids show from the 60s/70s and it was way more psychedelic than I remember.

[@Lineman72T]

Was not expecting a Banana Splits reference in an episode about a Mad Max-esque game, yet here we are...

[@LesPetitsChefs]

Cool video. Thank you for this game! That was fun to watch! I am more sad to not have backed the kickstarter. Sometime we have to make choices and I couldn't afford it.
