The first one surprised me. If she is the cult leader, who is she going to recruit? The seer was an obvious choice. They were not in the same team initially, but that doesn't have to stay that way. The second one was just an oversight that wasn't questioned any more. It's true that they cannot both be sailors, but both pirates is an option. That's exactly how you sail as pirate without outing anyone.

[@Katie-hh9eu]

I closed my eyes for the initial reveal and knew early on that Izzy was a pirate, but I was completely shocked that Tilly was the other one, she played this one really well.

[@Donolohe]

It was a great gambit, lean on being suspicious and establish conflict with your teammate, covering for them if they read you right and lay low. But this game has an interesting twist on that play, because this makes your Pirate buddy an ideal target for a Cultist Leader, who needs a trusted person on board.

[@courtney-ray]

@@Donolohetrue. It all would’ve come undone if Holly chose Tilly!

[@TheFinalChapters]

There was a strong tell that Tilly was also not a sailor. Tilly, if she was in fact a sailor, would have known for a fact that Izzy was not on her team, and should have immediately mutiny'd to take control away from Izzy. The fact that she never did...

[@moatef1886]

Izzy setting up that early conflict with Tilly was such a risky gambit. Totally paid off in the end!

[@frostedsnow7634]

Izzy is EXACTLY the "calm for majority of the time, then absolutely destroys someone out of nowhere energy" this group needs Please bring her back more often for more episodes! A great example of this is at 1:10:30

[@Donolohe]

This game has an interesting dynamic between all teams, Sailors are the usual kids in the dark, trying to feel their way through the game, Pirates know each other, but can never fully trust once the Cult strikes first, making bold team plays more dangerous, cause you never know when you've been left alone, Cult Leader has the most info, but to win has to depend on henchmen who will know very little. SPOILER: That early conflict play for the pirate team was *chef's kiss*, they really knew their audience, rest of the table immediately jumped on board for that. Shame about Cult Leader, there was no real way to get the win there, just cause chaos.

[@Unyubaby]

I think picking Jon out of spite was probably the thing that really doomed Holly, cuz he was already going after her, it'd of been better to have picked someone else to defend her. She still played as best she could, Tilly and Izzy just nailed that deception play to split the group's attention.

[@freddycalabrese319]

But I don't understand, why did Jon not help her afterwards? Was it out of spite? He could've won the game with Holly

[@DarrenFoster]

@@freddycalabrese319 depends what you mean by help her. If he started immediately going, "Oh yeah she was definitely not the cult leader" immediately after the cult leader got to turn someone nobody was going to believe that and would definitely know she was the cult leader. And he did when people thought he was a pirate (after the not a Sailor was revealed) did say "Oh yeah I was definitely lying she was a sailor." he didn't stick to that afterwards but people also started to realise he might just be a cultist instead by that point.

[@Phalxxx]

@@DarrenFosterJohn seems to really aggressive when he's innocent and being accused of lying, sometimes even 'pearl clutching' offended. This time he did not - he was much more playful with his recriminations (even prior to being revealed as 'not sailor'). I think being made a cultist threw him off his normal bluff game? It seems he tried the strategy of 'I'll make Holly look innocent by pretending to be against her.' I just don't think he pulled it off well this time, maybe due to Tilt. (Tilly and Izzy pulled it off much better, but their 'beef' was a lot more subtly introduced).

[@LudicrousPlatypus]

I'm so glad Tilly is back. Always love episodes with Tilly.

[@dougascott]

Don’t know if anybody has mentioned it (avoiding spoiling myself via comments), but the eyepatch/dark vision theory was pretty much confirmed on Mythbusters. Adam Savage was beside himself with joy when it worked for him. 😄

[@pankajthakur65]

This was an amazing game. Tilly and Izzy played brilliantly!

[@olivialambert4124]

I really liked Izzy. She absolutely nailed who was what very confidently. But she can't get that across to the others and she can't hide her lies. It's a great contrast to most characters in the group and a good twist in social deduction games. Plus it doesn't hurt that I'm exactly the same way, so it's nice having someone to root for.

[@karendionne2228]

[@gemelli2323]

It’s the most played game in my collection since the KS delivered, hands down. Even people who are usually iffy with social deduction games just plain love this. So glad it got played with this group! Looking forward to another round in the future.

[@SnapGrapplePop]

They’ve played a lot of these type of, ‘pick a party to go on missions’ type of games, and this one seems to be by far the best - though I think I’d house rule the silence to only last 1 mission

[@entitree.]

i watched blind, and let me say my mouth was wide open at the reveal. Well done to Tilly and Izzy, they played great. I'm now going to rewatch all the parts i shut my eyes to see what i missed. Such a tense game, loved it! just gonna timestamp all the close-eye moments in case anyone else wanted them: 10:47 - pirates find eachother 28:30 - cult leader picks their first culty 34:00 - Adam reveals his role to Jon 54:22 - cult leader looks at some roles 1:26:40 - cult leader chooses their second culty also as I was going back and watching, i found Jon's behaviour after being culted very fun. A lot of very obvious tells such as deflection (immediately making light of the fact that it wasn't him) and touching the nose after lying. super interesting!

[@Kuncoss]

Such a fun playthrough! Happy to see Izzy back. She has such a different vibe than the rest of the regular gang. Which makes for some great reactions and setups :D

[@willgaines8575]

My friends and I love this game! But my favourite thing by far is how polite and organised the mutinies are on this ship, happening at a set time every day, and everyone is always given a fair chance to make their mutinous feelings known

[@mydnyt5179]

God the buffet of grits is absolutely something that's gonna live in my brain forever

[@eggmanjr]

That was fun, I was hoping NRB would play Feed the Kraken at some point. Great job Adam getting all the rules mostly right as they are a bit finicky. One rule you are supposed to play with when using the longer map (which you were) is that when the ship moves across the line separating the light blue hexes from the dark blue hexes, all players draw back up to 3 guns (none are drawn if already at 3 or more). Did not affect the game since there were no successful mutiny's before the ship crossed, however if the players had known there may have been some as folks are more likely to use their guns if they know they are getting more.

[@thesolacestuff]

Aaaaaay! Izzy is back! Nice to see her again along with the "Chaos crew" of NRB

I have been looking for another playthrough of this, what a gem of a game and what a great playthrough by NRB!

[@Karthos1000]

It actually takes 30 to 45 minutes (sometimes even more) of absolute darkness to give 80% vision in the dark. So the eye patch thing is almost certainly true and is really useful, when you really need to able to see in the dark. Adjusting to light takes 5-7 minutes.
