Sully wasting a fuel just for the mental image of a dog driving a car and then getting one of the most influential characters in the game killed have gone straight into my top 3 Sully moments in NRB history. 1. Learning he was the lunatic in botc 2. This moment 3. Summoning the queen twice in nemesis

[@traupman84]

honorable mention to when he found out he was the drunk in the first episode of botc after revealing what he thought was his role to literally every person round 1.

Jon's card says "any other player". Not any non-exiled player. The rest of the game has been very specific to call out non-exile or not so... sorry Jon, that's a loss.

[@98nh3609]

Totally agree

[@MakusinMeringue]

His betrayal was simply too cute. He won in my eyes.

[@Phyrre56]

I haven't even finished the episode yet, but Sully's first turn is the funniest, worst turn of Dead of Winter I've ever seen.

[@MikeysLegend]

He had to have 3 survivors removed from the game as his objective

[@gamester512]

And then Sully followed it up with that Crossroads card....yeesh. Talk about a brutal first round of the game. Everything started off going pretty well, up until Sully got the Sheriff killed, and then things just went downhill from there.

How, did they manage to turn this, semi-cooperative game that rewards selfish/antagonistic behavior into a less hostile board game than Mysterium, a game that is purely cooperative?

Found Family too strong

[@Schilani]

@@bigpapa1965 Probably referring to the time they played Mysterium on this channel and all they did was shout how dumb they all are, Mediums as well as the Ghost.

I nearly did a spit take when Sully said all the important people won, trying to throw shade on Adam, but poor, unstable, paranoid Jon got caught in the crosshairs because he sure as hell didn't win.

[@Zero-0N3]

I love how they just explain away all the complex tasks by justifying it with “Sparky’s a stunt dog”. They probably drove a car, looked for hidden objects, shot guns, and did takedowns on stuntmen for their Hollywood career.

​@@IsaacMayerCreativeWorks WHOA! Look at that! (no rhymes)

[@nightbirdgames]

This is the best board game show since Tabletop with Will Wheaton ended. The camera isn't too far away from the table you can't see the game progress, and its a nice bonus that you have close up pop ups of the cards. Really appreciate it.

[@nobodywantsthethimble]

Going into this I was really hoping Sully would end up with Sparky the Wonder Dog. No Rolls Barred never disappoints.

[@marvinko6610]

Rosie is a god damn treasure of a human being. I mean I would not trust her with a knife if she were to stand beside me but still a gem of a person

[@OptimusProvost]

Laurie during the intro: players are gonna be working together for the most part…” The whole NRB community: “HA! That’s a good one!”

[@TheOneWhoReportsForDuty]

Ah yes, working together. Teamwork. Cooperation. Alliances of needs. What does that mean?

[@jleis2996]

They actually did pretty well, even the 'betrayer' inadvertently worked well with the team.

[@PunkZombie1300]

​@@jleis2996Yeah, to the point where I was like 99% sure there was no betrayer lol

The way I've replayed Rosie's "tHe mOsT TeRrIfYiNg DiCe iN AlL oF BoArDgAmInG" moment. 🤣🤣🤣 Honestly such a highlight of this episode, absolutely hilarious. Also love how festive it was that Adam effectively became a panto villain by the end of the game. 😅🤣

[@LTDPotential]

Sully's outburst @1:53:09 while Jon literally pops a Lung laughing in the background is one of the greatest moments in YT history!

[@PlaneShaper2]

I think Sully managed to kill more survivors than Adam did.

[@KorsarNek]

A bit of a spoiler that comment and it's quite far up in the comment section.

[@intothemindshaft]

Simple life hack for spoilers: Don’t read comments before watching

[@KevinFlores-ey8tz]

1:55:04 for the massacre that occurred onscreen. 35:26 for the Sparky car bit.

[@TheWeapon33]

Shout out to Laurie for his succinct and useful turns. Fast players are the best so you can play more board games!

[@Jason_Reynolds]

1:52:07 The release of the stress that Jon had obviously built up inside of him wondering if there actually was a traitor was an absolute joy to behold! I almost pi$$ed myself laughing along with him! Classic gaming moment! Great play through of one of my favourite games. Cheers guys!

[@KMReviews]

I still think the best way for a trailer to be a traitor is to constantly make noise and search for more cards. Then contribute to the crisis to “help”. Act like you aren’t getting the right cards. Always add more survivors to make food hard. Use cards to make the waste pile fill up. Etc

[@josephalexander877]

Sparky is the best survivor in the whole game and there’s not a damn thing anyone could say or do to change my mind about that

[@JonGracey69]

I'm in hell

[@rambler209]

Adam should have used some food cards to increase his die rolls in the last round, to let him do more actions. Players are normally allowed to spend food tokens to do this, but Exiles have to spend the food cards from their hands.

[@KristoVaher]

He should have also used all the food during his traitor reveal turn. They entirely ignored that rule how to use food tokens.

[@XenithShadow]

@@KristoVaher Yeah it was a pretty sub optimal traitor turn, shoulda ate the food. Also probable needed to be less willing to contribute to the crisis's to increae presssure on other players. He was pretty set up for a final turn victory if he didn't attempt the betrayal to early. As he could have uncontested tanked at least 3 morale in the final round + and extra 2 moral by getting two of his surviors killed outside the colony.

[@vascocarrinho4334]

Quick tip, when you guys buy a outsiders card you don’t have to play it, it’s a card like the others, just let it stay on your hand xD no need to make noise to change it every time. :)

[@Deo_ei]

I thought only the firefighter let you put the card into your hand for later, where everybody else has to play it immediately

[@greenneck5396]

This is one of those episodes I click just before bed and end up laughing my ass off at 1am with out realizing how much time has gone by. Adding this to the wishlist of games to someday play with a group.

[@mcr00kes]

In my mind, there was this idea that Sparky was either a) a cyborg, or b) actually a furry with the temperment of the Punisher. Were it not for mum, Sparky could've been the MVP. Great watch!

[@RanMouri82]

Can't believe I'm writing this, but at least if Sparky was a furry, the driving and shotgun-shooting would make sense.

[@mcr00kes]

@@RanMouri82 It's definitely a sentence I'd never considered before. :D

[@DracoSuave]

One of my favorite parts of DoW is that in base traitor rules, there -might- be a traitor but it's never guaranteed so you're never quite sure if you're looking for a bad guy or not.

[@98nh3609]

I love watching Jon in these kind of games. His chaotic unraveling especially in pure Co-op games always makes me laugh. Alo arguably best nails among NRB. But he didn't meet his objective here

[@DracoSuave]

How to betray effectively: Rather than fight zombies, go to where people are, lure zombies there so slots are full, and then for every person there a zombie will just kill someone.

[@wassentme1891]

Big question is if it's worth it to have someone at the colony to eat all the food. I think so.

[@OptimusProvost]

WWE would love this game. It’s basically “Can They Coexist?!: The Board Game”

[@EtoileLion]

except,had someone not chosen a certain card, they would have.

[@jacebanasik4482]

Big pop for this

[@SESauvie]

Adams heel turn went about as well as a WWE turn to boot.

[@martinroberts2865]

“Scariest dice in board gaming”…Rosie makes me laugh every time!

[@MinkiSansChannel]

I have watched this video about 6 times and I still laugh. Because of this video I bought this game, played it many, many times and even reviewed it. This is the best board game video online barre none.

[@ChillVibesXP]

Best play to do as traitor in that situation. Move a person to each outside location. Search and make 4 noise. Head to the colony and eat all the food to increased a die value by 1. But yes a lot of people try to sabo near the end but that is never enough time, honestly as traitor you play to excile while flooding resoursed asap

[@TheFinalChapters]

If you do that, you just get exiled and then you no longer win if the colony loses.

[@XenithShadow]

@@TheFinalChapters The assumption is getting exiled early give you a chance to complete the new exile objective. But yeah generally if your trying to tank the game with eatting all food as well as a crisis spike you need to be the last player (which if your not last player on the final turn generally means your well set up to fully tank the game with also getting the first turn post crisis.

[@DeadHierophant]

Eyyyy Dead of Winter! One of my favorite games. I'm gonna time Jon - see how long it takes before he cracks. Also, I hope you're feeding Adam while he's tied up in your basement, Laurie.

[@martinatkins3873]

Just when I thought I couldn't like Adam any more, he goes and says he's more of a Blur guy. Great episode, another game to add to my wishlist

[@sjd83]

1:55:04 Don't mind me. I simply feel time of death needs to be recorded.

[@Axel8745693]

Before the hour passed Jon unraveled completely (justified and I'm all for it 100%) and somehow vindication came immediatelly after while Jon (again) unraveled some more about having to read his Crossroads card! This Let's Play is already a banger!

[@Housenflou]

Well there's an entry for Adam's next list on worst ever heel turns.

[@Canadian_Zac]

The Abandonded options are a bit weird It should be keep the baby, or get rid of the baby Keeping the Baby adds 5 zombies for its noise (no survivor added cuz the mother can feed it) Getting rid of the baby Reduces Morale by 1 because people would be upset

[@cactilainen4301]

Exactly what i thought! So weird that they didn’t chose the most obvious option of keeping or not keeping the baby instead

[@DioxJXD]

As much as I love the game, it is tonally inconsistent and doesn't go really all that far into the obvious things people would do in such a situation. Which, depending on your sensibilities is a good or bad thing.

[@nihkhdtigerson1599]

Certainly, especially when you consider getting rid of the mother and keeping the baby makes little to no sense as is the worst of both worlds. It's not like 1 additional mouth to feed causes that much harm. It should be getting rid of both mother and father with the baby and loose 2 morale as a clearer difference between options ( the zombie numbers could be different too). x:x

[@dradkyn9118]

Every game they have played on board game club is a game I want to own or own but haven’t played it.

[@KEVIN-vd3qe]

DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED AND DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED I really appreciate Adam taking the time to explain the game and give an inside on what is happening for those who don't know it and questioning if there's a traitor when he's the traitor.

[@Veggieman87]

This episode has quite possibly the funniest final act Board Game Club has had to date. What are the chances of all of that happening so beautifully?

[@drunkzombie8811]

[@DasGanon]

Rosie is somehow going to be the most reasonable person here, calling it now.

[@oliverkutsch7592]

Great video, specially love your semi-cooperative gameplays. The willing suspension of disbelief when Sparky uses a gun is not so much of a stretch. In our last game he was reading books about barricade construction. Well at least dogs have an affinity to wood. Cheers!

[@WaldoIsahider]

*Shows the traitor's "mugshot"* I almost spat out my coffee, what an amazing angle. 😆

[@CaptLoquaLacon]

About the 25 minute mark, Adam auto plays the outsider card. Technically, you don't have to play outsider cards, you can just take them in to your hand, but the 'outsider1' isn't bad even in 'Too Many Mouths' since the extra searcher can be a huge thing early on. It's also a good traitor play, but then again most things are...

[@fvizeus]

Exactly. It happened again around the 57 minute mark when Rosie made noise to avoid getting an Event card

[@cheaney1000]

I had played DoW so many times until someone pointed this out to me. I think the problem is calling them "event" cards.

[@moochyap4273]

Yeah, I've seen people make this mistake a few times. I find it easiest to think of the cards in your hand as all just cards until you play them out, then they become items, events etc.

[@hulkwolf6856]

1:48 "For every dead survivor...???" Surely if you're a survivor, you're not dead!

[@KristoVaher]

I am only half way through of the playthrough so far, but I'd like to point out that the game is being made extra hard for the traitor (if there is one!) by playing with too much open information. Hands should be kept secret, search should be kept secret. If playing with too loose open hands about what cards you have then it is almost impossible to spike the crisis.

[@Jim-cj7pj]

Just discovered your channel and you've already played my favorite board game. Subscribed!

[@RandomPerson-nd2ey]

Quick rules clarification and a story. Okay, so you're not supposed to read the mechanical effects of Crossroads card choices along with the flavor text before making the choice. You're supposed to make your decision based solely on the flavor text. My group and I made that same mistake too and learned our mistake when I bought the app (as that's how it works with the app). By the way, definitely get the app. It adds ambient music, voice overs, and sometimes even sound effects. Well worth the small price, is completely optional, and is not intrusive to the experience. It simply enhances the game. Story time now! Okay, so I was playing with my normal group and we had not considered giving Sparky (the dog) a gun because, you know, it's a dog. A player looked over at me (the rules person in our group) and asked if there was actually a rule against it. I looked for a while but couldn't find any so they immediately gave the dog a gun. A whole back story quickly developed about how the dog was basically Rambo or John Wick. He was never meant to use a gun but he had a dark mysterious and violent past. He vowed never to use a gun again but the zombies came. So Sparky said "Yeah, I guess I'm back!" Every turn, that dog went around blasting zombies away as the group cheered him on. Then... He got hurt. We quickly gave that player pain killers the dog took them. Unfortunately, that triggered a Crossroads card and Sparky ended up addicted. We did our best but simply couldn't feed his addiction and, well, RIP Sparky.

[@unionjank]

After less than an hour, it's become clear that Rosie is just the best. Hope she makes as many appearances on future episodes as possible.

[@garrettsmith163]

Not sure if its been said, but the character choice is a really important strategic moment that this group got wrong. You are supposed to already have your secret objective when you pick characters (that way you can pick characters that might help you accomplish them). No one is supposed to know what you didn't take as that can cause immediate suspicion of motives. also the starting player is meant to be the one who has the character with the highest influence.
