Very jarring to see Adam without his blonde hair. It's a bit like an anti-Blair situation.

Everyone is clearly so scared of Laurie’s superior gaming skills that they’re now willing to sacrifice their own chance at winning to team up against him. Little do they know that it’s only making him stronger

[@DM-zh2kt]

Everyone was focusing on Laurie and Tom, then came Brooke with a surprise RKO. Also, loving the new hairdo, Adam.

[@suspicaxrohde2310]

Also, if Brooke had not had such a lead, Adam's final deal would have been MASTERFUL. Ignoring Brooke, the scores on the final turn were: Tom: 22, Laurie: 20, Tilly: 18, Adam: 15, Sully: 13. By taking 4 from Tom and denying Laurie the ability to count points, Adam would have been winning by 1 point. That said, Brooke is the Lord of the Board for a reason.

[@Peztastic]

Tom is always super classy when he pulls out his signature “a gentleman’s [in this case] 4”

[@faithlessone423]

Literally cannot take my eyes off Adam's hair. It's SO different, omg. But the game looks fun!!

[@yeastov5470]

I've recently come back from trying out my local board game club. It was a lot of fun, lots of friendly people, and it made me laugh that whenever a game ended everyone at the table magically pulled out a stack of different board games from no where to pitch to the group next.

[@AngoraWinch]

Damn I tried my local last year and totally different vibes. Everyone was friendly but like NOBODY spoke. Literally got 3/4 of the way through Concordia before I couldn’t stand it and asked the names of the people I’d been playing silently with for 50 mins 😂 When we played high interaction games like Chinatown it was like playing with a table full of accountants discussing stock. I mean they were having fun and I’m not one to yuck someone’s yum but I play a lot of solo games at home and I wanted a different itch scratched. NRB should have a ‘personals’ section in their patreon page where you can list the city you’re from and join or form your own City branch of BGC.

[@matthewmcafee2957]

Why does everyone in this episode look so great? These has to be one of the most stylish episodes I've watched.

[@Sadeshking]

Explain this please

[@micahnewby7964]

@@Sadeshking when you become a patron (which you should, by the way; well worth it), you get access to _Uncut_ versions of these BGC episodes. Most of the time it's just a couple of jokes cut for time or a gag that's fleshed out for longer than free viewers realize, though sometimes it's a significant amount of content. The trade-off for the extra content is that the Uncut versions do _not_ have the cutaway segments during which one player talks directly to camera, usually explaining what they just did (that's what I mean by "talking heads"). I don't know about other patrons, but I became one at least in part because I _want to see _*_everything_*_ that they do_ because I enjoy them so much and want to support them in whatever way I can. However, I have two jobs, as well as other channels about which I feel the same way. To say nothing of other obligations. All to say that I simply oftentimes don't have time to watch what is essentially 90% the same video twice (especially when it's a two hour plus beefy boy). But again, I still want to consume every particle of NRB goodness Patrons likely default to the Uncut versions (I know I do). What I have done allows them to easily get to the parts of the free video that they don't have access to on the patron page, with the presupposition that they won't need context because they already have seen what happened. They still have the option to watch the entire free video if they want or can, but if they suffer under time constraints as I do this allows them ease of access to what little their money doesn't actually help them to see

[@Dragonboy55564]

Anyone know who writes the talking heads?

[@micahnewby7964]

@@Dragonboy55564 no clue, but given that a great deal of them are just the players saying "that's why I just made that move" or explaining why they chose to play as this or that character, who's to say they are "written" at all?

The "Key-deal" by Adam was essentially like offering people the amazing opportunity of a hard day's work for good compensation - by just letting them do your own job for a fraction of your salary

So here's a summary of interesting data points so far: -Adam is at a 75% success rate! -Brooke is beating everyone with a 100% success rate, though she's only played 50% of the total games. -Of the people who have played more than one game, Sullivan is doing the worst, with only a 25% success rate. Chin up, buddy! -The Jangly Keys Method™️ didn't help Adam win, but it was hilarious to watch in action. Get this patented, Adam!

Of course, the flaw in Adams argument at 49:45 is that if the zoo keeper is removed, Laurie will vote himself in _and_ get the score token. Unless they also fill up with other characters.
