[@cstark331]

Uncut is definitely the way to go.

[@jackjden]

Laurie would win Hide and Seek by going home and letting all the hiders die of starvation or thirst, thus leaving him the winner

[@rsyvbh]

I love how all the viewers are just silently agreeing with you

[@oz_jones]

Ah yes, the Cartman Gambit

[@acousticnoisemachine]

Inside Laurie's head: Good ol' skull. Nothing beats that!

[@TheQrstOne]

Well yeah, if it's someone else's skull, it wouldn't be in your head! 😆

[@originalmgf2930]

Watching Sully being bullied into betting 9 had to be the funniest yet saddest thing I think I've ever seen!

[@robertspears7439]

It's not even that. He just can't resist a bit. He's like Roger Rabbit hearing 'Shave and a Haircut'.

[@BonnieBoestar]

​@@robertspears7439 Best description of Sully and perfectly shows why I love him. Wish they could read it, know Sully would get a kick out of it.

[@mrpandabites]

I won't lie, I kinda lost a little respect for him when he caved..

[@blunderstruck1]

@@mrpandabitesif ur serious that’s so embarrassing 😭 he’s a comedian and he’s just having fun, not everyone cares about winning

[@snappyy8600]

​@@mrpandabitesHope you're joking buddy

[@AdamjacobiGIA]

This is like watching people try to run through traffic and then being surprised when a car hits them, for an hour straight

[@GQSmoos]

Laurie showing once again that complete honesty is the best bluff

[@pplsyhn]

The look on Sully's face when Laurie flipped his flower and he knew he was the one that was going to kill Adam was priceless.

[@thewingedporpoise]

and it was telegraphed so well with the talking head

[@theaxer3751]

And he was giggling like an elf on Adam's grave after he accidentally killed him

[@adamlorenz4748]

Tilly berating Sully for trying to make her feel guilty and yelling at Laurie "why can't you be normal?" Had me dying.

[@truthunwinding]

My brother died 3 weeks ago. He absolutely loved this channel, was a patreon, a big fan, the whole works. It's what made him get into board games this past year, and brought his inner child out (he was 38). He has a stack so high in his room that I won't touch. He often said your hour long uploads were the highlight of his week, and he'd get so excited. I'm absolutely lost without him, but I want to thank you for bringing him so much joy in his final year.

[@sullivanbrown252]

I’m so sorry for your loss, it means the world to hear that your brother enjoyed the channel as much as he did and my thoughts are with you and your whole family

[@truthunwinding]

@@sullivanbrown252 thank you. It'd mean everything to him that you reached out.

[@arthursimsa9005]

Oh man, sorry for your loss.

[@truthunwinding]

@@arthursimsa9005 thank you. I was his little sister and he was my best friend, so this is tearing me up inside.

[@naomil7830]

@@truthunwinding I am so very sorry for your loss. Brothers are so special, big brothers in particular. I hope you and your family find some solace during this time, and if you ever need someone to talk to, because sometimes it is easier to tell a stranger when you are sad than someone close to you who is also sad (at least I find it to be the case) please feel free to reach out to me. Again, I am very sorry for what you are going through.

[@RussDMC]

Watching Sully self destruct when they’re chanting nine. Omfg. 😂😂😂😂

[@la_sombruh]

As a person who roots for Adam. Adam really makes it hard to root for Adam. I may move to rooting for Laurie. Strange days.

[@tombardsley3081]

Rooting for Laurie is great. Great tactician. Whereas I think Adam overthinks his plays which gets him in trouble. It’s how he lost cosmic encounter in the first “in person” board game club

[@dna507]

Considering how much his “friends” treat him like crap, it’s kinda hard to root for anyone else. Except Sully, who is a cinnamon roll.

[@kalebbeaumont]

Boy do I have news for you

[@la_sombruh]

@@kalebbeaumontdon’t worry, I’ve moved to rooting for Laurie exclusively 😂

[@treystaton282]

Lolol ​@@la_sombruh

[@laurabenham9468]

Laurie losing his shit at 52:56 was possibly the best part of the video (Adam getting eliminated being a very close second) His laugh is so wholesome and contagious

[@AdmiralJota]

They thought he was either good or evil, but it turns out he was actually chaotic neutral.

[@IceMetalPunk]

Sully betting 9 because everyone else bullied him into it, and he couldn't help but continue the bit, is peak Sully energy 😂

[@talonsaurn5764]

seeing Adam start mildly confident..then unravel and tilt so gloriously...he's taking Jon's role as well now

[@brandonvangieson8087]

Laurie out here to prove that bluffing in a bluffing game is overrated. Just tell them what you're doing everytime, it'll work out great!

[@stevieinselby]

The thing is, the sociopath tactic only works if everyone else is playing sensibly. If you have more than one person playing that game then it all falls apart.

[@dom6637]

​@@stevieinselby It really doesn't. The sociopath method works even with all 6 being sociopaths.

[@justjack6275]

I demand that every game has a Dom J Allen Progress Tracker!

[@ChristopherMarsh]

Hate how they bully Sully. Love how he falls to peer pressure

[@PoliKing]

Silly Sullivan, they weren't saying "nine" they were saying "nein". Don't do it! Laurie clearly placed a skull, what's wrong with you?? Jesus Sully, you just don't listen... *sigh* poor Brooke. Poor Adam!

[@ProdigalGeek]

So happy to see more of Tilly on NRB she is the best, please keep her forever!

[@alexnuttall9243]

Oh this is a lot of fun. I love the tilt, working out where the skulls are with everyone else, the banter, the drama. Also... Playing a bluffing game with a poker player, people who love causing chaos and Sully (bless him).

[@modmotherjena1536]

Ken is evil and a liar; he fits this crew perfectly! Welcome!

[@pankajthakur65]

Laurie winning Skull to honor is spooky cousin Malakai. And Sully reluctantly defeating Adam is "I'm sorry, I love you", poetic stuff all around. We want more Tilly

[@chamelius]

"...You're also a sociopath..." "I know... But, I'm nice about it..."

[@DeadHierophant]

Quite possibly the saltiest I've seen Adam in all of NRB's videos. 😂😂😂

[@emiren]

Then you haven't seem him in BotC when he is the lunatic and is hoaxed into thinking he's a demon!

[@DeadHierophant]

@@emiren Oh no, I've watched that video. He was pissed off for most of early to late game - but was calm enough to play. Here he's just so tilted and defeated. Plus, one has to consider his Win-Loss record. 🤣

[@codydavis3100]

"This is what the play 'The Crucible' is about." I love Tilly!

[@citruscampbell]

Laurie played exactly how I would and wow lol

[@Midragor]

This video is a 1h loop of the ''You've activated my trap card !'' meme

[@jeremyparsons2944]

If Laurie is ever armed with a skull, fleeing is your only hope for survival

[@bbpratt]

As much as I'd like Adam to win, it's soooo funny to watch him boil over when he loses.

[@freakincampers]

Never promise something you aren't willing to do. Who is ready for five straight games of Monopoly?

[@travisbic]

okay, you have to watch the rest of the video to really appreciate it, but 1:03:30 is perhaps the greatest moment in NRB history.

[@Garland88]

You love to see it

[@dunstonlion1342]

Before they even started, I was wondering, "Why wouldn't you just play a skull every single round?" I now have the answer.

[@crimsonghad]

I saw Ken perform at 100 Hearts comedy charity gig before Covid and was such a big fan of his that I've spent years trying to find a stand-up comedy gig of his to see live. Then, out of the blue, here he is!

[@babyt5322]

Sully's face turned a color I didn't know was possible for humans.

[@ProjectIceman]

I half expected Sully to go, "You know, Nein is the German word for no. PASS."

[@nyanwizard2735]

You can also play skull by just using normal playing cards and red cards are skulls while black cards are flowers (or vice versa)

[@bryantheath3141]

Adam getting all the way to five only to be foiled by Laurie is the best kinda of storytelling.

[@insomniacdreamz3624]

"Why can't you just be normal!?" Laurie: *Babadook screaming*

[@olivermcintyre8403]

NRB have been on a roll with new cast members First Tilly who is great and now Ken who has added a really fun dynamic, loving Ken

[@Elmonator]

Btw I need to let you know you're all great at explaining the rules of the games. I always suck at that, haha. Just keep up the great work, it helps me immensely in dark times.

[@Garland88]

Hope you’re good and find your way out of dark times soon. Take care. X

[@yourewrong154]

The funny thing is Adam could easily bid 5 and no one would want stop him. Someone would have to knowingly lose to keep the game going. But instead he just says 6 over and over

[@aaronfidelis3188]

"I'm not sure why you think its gonna have a different outcome." ~ Laurie, probably

Guys, we might joke about Adam losing all the time, but he's only lost one time more than Sully!

[@luigiscazzari4724]

We need these posts to be pinned NRB on the top of the comment section.

Laurie: NOTHING... YOU'VE ALL... LEARNED... NOTHING!!!!!

[@Reagmaster]

….Could Ken be the key to defeating Carley in BOTC? Like a professional poker player in that kind of environment would be insane to watch.

[@randalladkins7452]

Not sure. He seems about as good as Lori here, and we all know Lori’s BotC record :).

[@wahahabuh]

@@randalladkins7452 Laurie and i think Brooke are both quite good at being the detective in BotC, but they tend to either ally with the wrong person early or don't ally with anyone at all so nobody believes them during the crucial moments.

[@paulharries9558]

What will Ken see when he looks into the mind of Sullivan Beau Brown?

[@sixtenrosager659]

Fantastic episode as always! Just wanted to bring attention to something that means Adams resolution might not be fully dead yet. The channel is projected to hit 100k subscribers by the 19th December at which point they have said that they would do another 10 hour stream. That would mean around 10 more chances to win before the end of the year!

[@mdrglxix3699]

36:08 yes Laurie!!!!

[@MeonLights]

About 10 minutes in and Ken already enraged Adam. Very good

[@nazmussaadat5593]

Sully turned so red the more he got bullied omg

[@ragingrhino101]

I think this is the week that broke Adam - I think he realises 19 wins in 8 months isn't happening after only 3 in 4 months

[@treystaton282]

I think he is more broken now

Watching this is like looking at people grabbing the electric fence the 12th time and hoping that THIS time they won't get shocked.

[@ThrawnIsAlive]

This is genuinely one of my favorite games. So thankful that you guys got me into this game with the original BGC episode on Skull. Keep up the great work guys!

[@lkc101]

Statistically it's so obvious that Laurie will keep putting Skull first until the end of the world 😂 Why do people still flip his card!?

[@doctorstinky2990]

Welcome Ken to the team, hope you feel at home

[@KimiiiRaikkonen]

Really happy for the double win by the one with the best tactics. Very well played and a deserved win!

[@spoogtastic]

Laurie is completely correct, it makes 0 sense to not just play the skull each turn and make sure you aren't the 1 last to bid. Kinda ruins the game but it's a incredible strat.

[@ImaginaryMdA]

Wow, well played to the handsome devil!

[@karlovisttimes8271]

love this amazon review for the game: "It’s a fun game to play but when I noticed a lot of occult symbols all over the game, I decided to through it out." brilliant

[@chuges]

Is Tilly battling Laurie for Goth of the left side of the table? It's such a cool vibe she's got going on!

[@Bowling_Dude]

it's more punk to me

Seriously? It’s just a leather jacket.

[@J_C_Richard96]

aw man really though Carley was on this week , based on her IG Stories , pehaps for the Weekends in-person Clocktower , cannot wait for that .

[@brandonvangieson8087]

I hope they got her for at least one episode of BGC as well, I know they film in blocks so it's possible her episodes are just in the future

[@Kings_Quest]

Remember these are probably pre-recorded

[@Reagmaster]

@@Kings_Quest Especially this game considering Skull was supposed to happen two weeks ago (it was shown in the vault) but was pushed back for whatever reason so there’s a chance that the recording of this game is atleast a month old at this point.

[@mailenstein4805]

you can see the light die in Adams eyes

[@lina9535]

Honestly, I wouldn't have thought that anyone in the video was 30 or above. (Exception for Tilly since she said she was in her 20s). Then again, I have what I call "age blindness", as I always under-guess the ages of people. The current record is like 20 something 😂

[@lavenderwalrus9875]

I just want to hug Sully 😂❤

[@bethandoeswords6750]

I love this game - watched uncut earlier and have a suggestion: I don’t feel like I really know the new people you have joining. It’d be cool if every now and again someone asks some questions to the group / new people every so often. I know that may disrupt the flow of the game, but I feel like from the uncut version I know nothing about Ken (I’m aware in the shortened version you get the VOs, but since patreons don’t get them I feel like a little something is lost in getting to know people on an individual basis) Otherwise love the work, this isn’t a complaint, just a hopefully helpful suggestion :)

[@Howdyasdo]

I think we will get to know everyone better the more games they get to play. Poker like games' strategy is to show no emotion so it was an akward introduction

[@bethandoeswords6750]

@@Howdyasdo that’s very true, but just a general intro to who they are with like a “what’s your favourite fast food restaurant?” Ala QuizzleMania I think could be beneficial, personally :)
