Let's Play REPUBLIC OF JUNGLE | Board Game Club

[@NoRollsBarred]

ADAM: To support Republic of Jungle's Kickstarter campaign, click here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/gerdoogames/republic-of-jungle?ref=4f4r4a The same Beta we used to play the game in this video is available for free for a limited time during the Kickstarter campaign. Check out Republic of Jungle's Kickstarter page to find out more and to learn how to access the web version of the game!

4 minutes in and Tom has killed me. 'No yiffs and/or buts'. Genius.

[@HonorThyTarkus]

Gators gonna gate, mate

[@Whitebeardcrewmate]

That second game is social deduction bliss. Lovely misinformation and mind games, and a fantastic final gambit from Isaac. This usually isn't my preferred genre, but this game has me interested

[@Greatter1]

I wasn’t ready to see the Wrestletalk background, but I was pleasantly surprised.

[@sorceressferaly4026]

"Oli Davies confirmed mega into Judy Hops" - Adam, who has fervently claimed Nala to be the sexiest Disney character. When Adam first explained the rules of this game, it really just sounded like The Resistance with furries, and while the base mechanics are nothing new, the presentation is definitely charming, and the game seems to be well-adapted to play a Resistance-style game in lockdown. Always enjoyable to watch this gang get up to some social deduction, and nothing wrong with reskins! Werewolf is just Mafia for furries after all.

[@RasenKamehamehaX100]

When did Adam say this? Lmfao.

[@MarkoIronFist]

Werewolf is just more complicated mafia depending on versions. The ultimate deluxe werewolf from one night is significantly more complicated with 50 roles.

[@Centrifuze]

Jon: "Republic of Jungle would thank us for really promoting their game by showcasing dead animals on stream..." Meanwhile, Jon for the first third of this video: "COCKNBALLS COCKNBALLS LMAO COCKNBALLS"

[@MEG4nerd]

If the agent ever gets confided in they would be absolutely brilliant to say that they were the one who confided and they sent it to the person who actually had the power.

[@mel-burnes]

but also imagine a leaker do that and gamble on the other person wishing to obfuscate the identities of everyone who got powers in the game

[@TBLIVIN]

They're always coming at Sullivan based on nothing, he is ALWAYS either too quiet or too loud

[@Kantilvih]

Its almost like he is in a crew of friends who know the general feel, if not actual metrics of how animated he is, and when he is a bad boy, he gets anxious and tries to be "normal" but sullivan acting like sullivan isn't sullivan.

[@_SSGB_]

"The yiff is all you need" - Adam Blampied Boy, this episode just started and we already got an all timer quote from certified furry Adam.

[@PlaneShaper2]

Sullivan came to the realization of a great point about Jon on mission 3, having to pick the three people that went on mission 2 no matter Jon's alignment (because if Jon did not pick the three from mission 2, in order to "muddy the waters," the vote to pass the proposed task force would have simply failed). Sully just couldn't formulate the words to make the point after realizing it.

[@e7venjedi]

That game 2 was great back and forth from both teams, and Isaac fooling the baddies and Laurie's pointing to Adam just *chefs kiss* Great Game! Well Played.

[@劉智顥]

An over an hour long episode? I don’t know I have two Birthday a year! Thank you guys, peanuts on the up!

[@kev_whatev]

I have no idea what “peanuts on the up” means, but that’s not gonna stop me from saying it *all the time* from now on.

[@VanGTO49]

@@kev_whatev sounds like something Sully would say

[@grunthex3090]

Having recently discovered you guys, and binging ALL of the Blood on the Clocktower videos, it's great to see Tom as a player. Slightly sinister, but his quiet play is actually a really good foil to the group, even as a player.

[@alharron2145]

This was lots of fun! With a title called "Republic of Jungle" this was either going to be an *extremely* dodgy Port Royal-style colonial sim, or a delightful animal game with animals being like peoples. Looks like it's actually a mix of both, with the despotic overtones nice & satirical. Like a post-modern self-referential sequel to Bedknobs & Broomsticks. 17:05 I've never been into anthropomorphic animals (no harm to those who are, it just isn't my thing) but that damn Caramel Bunny... Man. In fairness, it's 30% eyes, 70% voice.

[@generatingid]

It's so much fun watching you guys play these kinda games. :D

[@ThrawnIsAlive]

This is the best part of my Friday. Keep up the amazing work, y'all!

[@Therank2100]

Its wonderful to see Tom come out and be more socially active in this game. Honestly thought it was gonna be a little same-y, but it was really fun and a great watch. Cheers NRB crew

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

This certainly plays better in 2021 than 2020. Love this kind of sponsorship! A truly new game on the channel.

[@Clapham37]

In the second game, you could tell Tom was good because he voted against the 4 man team in the 3rd taskforce, whereas Sully voted it to go through.

[@crapoleon]

"Egg don't" is the greatest sentence ever on NRB. Tom is a genius 😂

[@aurathedoof3037]

I was kinda bummed when you described the gameplay because I was like "Damn, just a furry reskin of Avalon" but my lord the presentation genuinely pushes this game into being worth standing on its own

[@swizlestik]

I was ready to click off because that's exactly what I thought but I just can't ignore Sully. I can have a 24-hour stream of just sully talking and I would be there the whole time

[@xChikyx]

it is just a reskin tho, nothing new is added except the few powers which arent exctly new either...

[@lycanthewerewolf6801]

There is more special stuff being added. This was a pre-release version. Adam mentioned it at the beginning.

[@hermatic1]

Love this Tom, looking forward to a playlist of this game playthrough as all the races and then maybe different styles, if you made hours of content on this game I am not saying I wouldn't watch it all. Tha ks for all the hard work matey. Takecare and regards.

[@yorozuyaginchian]

When somebody says “I’m fine you’re not taking me” for a 4 people mission I will feel a kinda sus. There are only 4 good and better get all of them or the mission is about to fail. But testing more people can also be a good strategy, just different ways of thinking. Anyway your videos are just amazing! I’ve been watching for days. Thanks for sharing so many good games!

[@gamingblindwithsammobam5300]

I never fail to crack up every time Tom says "I'm as pure as the driven snow."

[@iroor]

45:51 after laurie stated hard facts jon went real quite xD

[@JackArcherX]

HOLY SHIT, Bloody Roar gets a mention!!!!! THANK YOU TOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kimsummers5701]

Special guest next week, hopefully that means NRB Memes 🤞🏼. This was such a fun game.

[@TheBT]

When I saw the kickstarter my first thought was this would be great for board game club. It's resistance avalon. This was smart advertising

[@MrSkerpentine]

Avalon for socially distanced furries Not that there’s anything wrong with any of that, of course. You do you :)

[@CAWCWUniverse]

I feel the need to give Adam belated credit for his "Hoo are you going to take with you?" owl pun. Joke of the Day. 29:49

[@supermonkey321]

I really liked Adam's home background with all his board games. It's just not the same with the WT background.

[@navidnazarzade4493]

This is just awesome! Another good day with you fellas leaking classified information at bite house! Lol! Awesome game too!! I backed it!

[@georgedickenson9576]

Terrified to discover the relative heights of these people.

"The yiff is all you need" - Adam Blampied, 2021

[@chrisofgames]

Oooh someone’s not at their house. Can’t wait for in-person board game club 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@supermonkey321]

Maybe it's just that I'm used to it after a year and a half, but I kinda prefer everything being done through video chat, I think. It makes it easier for the audience at home to see everyone's faces, and you can also have people from all over the world on, like Carley from the USA. Also, doesn't Laurie live in Manchester now? How will he still be a regular part of NRB and WrestleTalk if you guys are going back to the office? And didn't even Luke move out of London too?

[@sackbeardthepirate8096]

We got to know so many people better by being able to see a cam focused on them the entire time and, though surely fun for the friends getting together, there's just no way IRL will be better for viewers

[@AdvyDeven]

@@sackbeardthepirate8096 I think that's just your mindset on it. Many of us in the community are hyped to see them all getting together regularly again. I get the benefits of the zoom format, but people interaction IRL will always be more enjoyable

[@payko5262]

Tom's character looks so grumpy about his massive horn.

[@callummann8941]

Back in the office... you love to see it!

[@Situaties]

Isaac should do toothpaste commercials, the man’s got some chompers.

[@drewcoaustralia]

So it's digital Avalon?

[@derekebert8819]

No it’s furry Avalon

[@MattheManiac2]

This game looks amazing! Though another social deduction game and another example of John behaving in a way that would trigger my anxiety in real life (Shouting and not letting Sully talk) and this makes me glad that I can experience them through video form rather than in real life!

[@williamfowler8686]

He's in the studio...HE'S IS THE STUDIO!!!!!!

[@EmmaBonn96]

Seems like a reskinned Avalon. I don't have a problem with that because the reskin looks adorable

[@LunaticPrinc3ss]

So animal kingdom of Avalon with jackbox game style?

[@hopefulhero95]

When Adam says the game is furry themed in the first 5 minutes, you know the game must be… Actually if anyone deserves to finish this it’s adam

[@Calpsotoma]

They be like "all the furries will love the bunny", but in reality, furries would dig the big bara tiger.

[@brandonvangieson8087]

So Resistance or Avalon, but with furries. Played Jackbox style. Silly as hell, but my group would no doubt have a blast with it lol.

[@jayraiden5457]

If still taking requests for Board Games to play, more Dobbins or Bobbins would be nice.

[@MrSkerpentine]

Maybe swap out the race horses for different stuff, like Pro Wrestler Names, Race Car Driver Names, etc?

[@Shawn_A106]

@@MrSkerpentine Adam did do the pro wrestler name variety a couple times on Quizzlemania.

[@jayraiden5457]

@@Shawn_A106 I'd argue that Pro Wrestling names would work better with people who don't know wrestling, like how Dobbins or Bobbins works with people who don't know horse names.

[@Shawn_A106]

@@jayraiden5457 It actually makes it much harder if you know wrestling because having knowledge of wrestling names makes it easier to come up with convincing fake ones to deceive with. Also there are plenty of obscure wrestlers even the most knowledgeable fans won't know.

Get on board!!

[@saintsheepy6682]

Can't wait till this is released on Steam.

[@haydenblack4395]

You guys should play Earwax by Jackbox just for a bit of absolute silliness and laughter

[@rowanellis5600]

the owl of city park just died, is there something you’d like to share with the class sullivan

[@atigersgrin]

I think this is a solid implementation of this genre. I feel that either 6 is not the best player count or the wiretap should be able to go to a spy. All three games ended in a 50/50 in the last round and then a 50/50 for the spies to still win.

[@LifeUntilLove]

Yeah the down to a 50/50 is not a great way for it to end. I think there should be a chance for the agent to get the wiretap ability, but not the confide one. It would at least make it possible for a third person to be the agent, even if it is unlikely.

[@swmabie]

To be fair, the 50/50 was mostly because of how they played these 3 games. The second game, if Adam had been paying attention, should have been a 3- way pick. Laurie had worked hard to keep the Confider secret, but Adam got all hyper offended that Laurie "wiretapped" him. Especially after Tom asked "Nobody claimed Confider?" followed by "Who confided?" If Adam kept his mouth shut about it, it would have been a 3- way choice with only Laurie outed.

[@_SSGB_]

Wait, if you guys are gonna be able to play in person again... DOES THAT MEAN CBW WILL FINALLY RETURN?

[@Naruedyoh]

Adam knows whata fursona is, i'm worried

[@alyssap9233]

I loved this video, but I kinda got frustrated during the last game. Sully was making a logical argument and everyone was talking over him acting like he wasn't making any sense. Yes, it was wrong and there were holes in it, but it wasn't like he was spouting bs. He was saying that Jon could have been evil and put a bunch of good guys up because he didn't think anyone would pass it otherwise. I feel like shitting on Sully has become such a common occurrence on this show that people start doing it the second he says something that doesn't immediately make sense to them. I'm not saying my reading on the situation is right and I'm not trying to call anyone out on anything, but the last game made me really uncomfortable on Sully's behalf.

[@lexicornfell7361]

Hm. So it's basically Resistance: Furries. Not sure that really makes any thematic sense, but Resistance is always a fun time.

[@philb6133]

How do you not include Blair or Brooke in this?

[@MrDegan2]

If the wiretap is right and it's not john then my word biggest plot twist I've ever seen

[@MrFreeForAll25]

Judy Hopps *IS* hot, though. They knew what they were doing. They ALWAYS know what they’re doing. Lol.

[@ykl1277]

exposing powers too early means that the leaker can eliminate 2 loyalist

[@nicholasficorelliii1918]

Wait, if you are going in person, does that mean the Americans (Carley, Brooke, et al.) are no longer going to participate???

[@Jubei66666]

I would guess Brooke lives in England since she and Sully are together?

[@manuelbaumann6407]

Brooke lives with Sully and I'm 99.9% sure Blair lives in England as well (she's in the Channel Trailer). Carley is basically BotC exclusive, which I'm assuming they'll stil play over Discord considering it's much simpler that way (playing it IRL seems super clunky, honestly).

[@axelsalive957]

The only problem I have with this game is the (more often than not) 50/50 chance the bad team has of winning at the end anyway.

[@lycanthewerewolf6801]

Isn't that a sign of a balanced game? That both sides have an equal chance to win?

[@axelsalive957]

@@lycanthewerewolf6801 It's not balanced to ignore the entirety of all prior gameplay and simply insert a 50/50 decision at the end. There is a reason balanced games are appreciated, and it isn't because they all end with a coin toss.

Laurie tried to actually use strategy in the 2nd game but sadly it only confused everybody and Adam went and blurted info for no reason. And half the players still had no idea what was going on.
