39:35 Wait one second doesn't the second expansion replace the ambassador

[@hkgcgsdhjgd]

The Reformation expansion can be played with either the Ambassador or the Inquisitor. The reference cards are double-sided; one side shows the actions you can take with the Inquisitor, and the other shows the action you can take with the Ambassador.

5:05 I have never, in all my days, seen someone utterly miss the point of a dice tower as Dan did. Thank you, Dan, for bringing such a smile to my face!

[@duauch6128]

that moment already made my day xD

[@ZoeyAnonschild]

1. I also did not understand the point of the dice tower, I also just thought it was a funky ornament 2. The fact that the die DID NOT SPIN AT ALL going down the stairs has made happy in thinking there really was no point in the tower

[@lemiless]

​@@ZoeyAnonschild of course it turned over. It just happened to land on the same number.

[@ZoeyAnonschild]

@@lemiless I watched it (I’m referring to the first use of the tower in the video, which was the only use I’d seen when I made that comment) back at lower playback speed Touché.

[@Septicor]

True story: Back when I was on the amateur poker scene, I brought Coup to play between games if I got eliminated. The other poker players absolutely loved the game and it became a staple after getting eliminated and waiting for the next game to start. I love this game so much.

[@eliasmg9144]

[@matsvee6746]

I'm sorry, but you could have gone for NRBards.

[@kev_whatev]

Bluffing Ambassador is the key to this game. No one ever calls you on it, because it feels like you’re not doing anything. But it makes it so people can never be sure what you have

[@jb17415]

Best comment here

[@DemonBlanka]

Turn 0 bluff Duke and Abassador, this is what my games with friends have always devolved into, nobody wants to call anyone out and everyone is shuffling through the deck to try and figure out specifically how many people are lying lol.

[@enorma29]

the ambassador is perceived as such a weak card among my game group, they don't play unless it's replaced with the inquisitor

[@TheKirbyT]

One time I pranked a bunch of friends by using the dukes from like 4 sets to make it so we all had double dukes. It was chaos.

[@dradkyn9118]

A-FUCKIN-greed

[@SlovoSanctum]

Coup is one of my favorites -- very easy to learn, so much fun telling the truth the whole game and still winning, even more fun making smart bluffs!

[@siverthusby6407]

1:18:19 he should have lost two cards here... he lied about having a contessa and got assassinated... otherwise i think you all played it by the rules... great game and video love the vibe this game gives.

[@funkbot3000]

I was about to comment this. Bluffing contessa is a big risk for that reason; you can lose both cards in a single turn.

[@RenTheBean]

I like how the first few episodes with Tom had him as a feature but now he’s just chilling with them.

[@JRosen99]

I believe Laurie should have lost the last game. Sully assassinated him Laurie claimed Contessa. Sully called him on it and was right so Laurie loses 1 for the Contessa lie and then 1 for the assassin

[@hkgcgsdhjgd]

You are 100% correct. How all six players (plus Teri) failed to catch that is beyond me.

[@ThatGuy-ot1gt]

Yup. Them's the rules.

[@AwesomePianoMan1021]

Agreed as well. Laurie should’ve been out.

[@ryancm72]

Thank you for picking up on this too it's wild that none of them picked up on that or that none of them knew of the ruling

[@l4p4k1]

They know the rules, Adam did say this was the first time he's brought the expansion out so I assume thinking about the new rules had them forget this 1 rule?

[@bernard832]

Dan is so good at Coup. If you play again, you have to bring him back.

[@Ms.Anonymous]

I want a Dan vs. Jon showdown

[@pankajthakur65]

Sully couping Brooke at the end and her saying, "I know where your food comes from!" Epic stuff. A very fun and entertaining episode

[@coryyn]

I really like seeing Tom on this channel, hes really chill but there are those one out of the nowhere liners and it just sends me

[@MaybeAnnatar]

I cannot express how funny it was that Dan ended the first game that way.

[@rp2741]

@@KingDomsKingdom85 that's not an appropriate comment to make

[@rainbowskin3379]

Every time I see Dan in a video I get so excited. He's just so damn funny. He personifies empathetic sassy queen so perfectly.

[@stephengibbons4680]

I'm pretty sure the outcome of the turn starting at 1:17:31 should have been Laurie being knocked completely out, having been both assassinated and challenged on his Contessa claim. (Does unfortunately somewhat undermine the moment at 1:19:45)

[@normandia2121]

yeah! I agree, also just saw that one. I believe it was a mistake

[@colemoore5007]

No, falsely claiming contessa to stop your own assassination ends in one card being lost, otherwise people lose too quickly and it’s no fun Obviously play how you prefer, that’s just the intention

[@thecomfycryptid]

​@Cole Moore No it's expressly in the rules that you lose both cards in that scenario.

[@Hugh.Manatee]

@@colemoore5007 By that rules interpretation there is no downside to claiming contessa and everyone should always do it when being targeted by an assassin.

[@lavenderwalrus9875]

@@colemoore5007 yeah no, you are explicitly wrong, by the rules of the game getting called on the false claim is a sepearate card loss to the assasination so you would lose both, and yes it does mean people can go out quickly but thats the entire point, you balance the risk reward of lying about having a contessa rather than just accepting the single card loss. Its fine if thats how your group chooses to house rule it but it does just make the game objectively worse, it removes a layer of strategical choice and makes the assassin much weaker.

[@pan-opticon]

so happy to see tomska and dan on here again :)

[@strawbunnyy]

dan’s strategy & panache are both unparalleled

[@DanteLucien]

Gotta say I love the variety of players you guys get. It's great to have a core group, but rotating 1-2 people every few games between filming means we get new jokes and interactions all the time.

[@skyblazeeterno]

NRB is the Tabletop for the 2020s. The failing imo is that it DOES NOT have enough variety in terms of players. Oh its Adam, Sully, Laurie and Brooke yet again. It doesn't have a pool of semi famous people to draw on. People who are not gamers nor local actors. Why is that important? because the same old gang just perpetuates the clique nature of some hobby gamers.

[@peterbrayne4651]

I totally agree with the above post Playing board games can be fun and enjoyable .When you have actors who have the experience and knowledge of how to express themselves it helps with the game play. Sometimes it feels that NRB is for their primary enjoyment rather than the general public.

[@dougrattmann3554]

​@@skyblazeeternoAdam, Sully, and Laurie are like, the core. Brooke really isn't in it all that much, and they cycle in new people every episode. You basically can be certain of three people being there, and then everyone else is whoever is there that day.

[@bigmclargehuge8219]

I adore Dan in this episode, absolutely fantastic. Everyone was great! What a fun episode full of good moments.

[@inox3882]

Laurie should have died when Sully called out the Contessa in that 4th match (lose card for being called out then assassinate for second) Obviously we need another whole episode of Coup to make up for this (pretty please)

[@Dkgow]

100% Agree. Laurie needs to pay up and make amends for his sin by winning in many more games of Coup

[@CoffinKidHxC]

I love the Tomska episodes so much. The two funniest people on KZbin playing one of my favorite games. Chefkiss.

[@tafua_a]

And Adam is also there!

[@Benusr]

6:27 legit thought that Sully had gained the power of sounding like Brooke with her standing next to him everyday and all that.

[@kyleaarons8482]

Dan's last move in that first game is one of the cuntiest moves I've ever seen and I AM LIVING!! holy shit I laughed so hard I cried. Bravo!

[@JedeOff]

[@tkeddo]

"bit harsh to knock them out of the game early" *sullivan stares directly into the camera*

[@blackwolfpt9781]

1:10:25 According to the rules, you can actually challenge someone even if he is on your team. 1:18:18 Laurie would have lost both cards as he lost a challenge and was also assassinated.

[@MattFromWiiSportsResort]

45:19 "I've got a story to tell!" so on the way to pensicola there was a guy with a reptile pit

[@Lucky08Ball]

One of the weirdest strategies I have ever seen while playing coup is where you don’t look at your own cards until it’s required so that not even you know if your lying allowing for the ultimate risk/reward

End of the second game, Dan should have just kept taking money until he had enough to coup, he would have gotten there before Sullivan.

[@miclash013]

I like playing COUP a lot, except for the fact there is a single card which gives you a huge advantage. The Duke gives you way more power than other cards, for the simple fact that drawing coins is the main objective and it is very easy to bluff. And even when it is revealed for one reason or another, there is no counterplay. A player with the Duke is able to assassinate at a better rate than even the Assassin card, because "coin" assassination can't be blocked. Despite this, I do enjoy all other aspects of the game, especially the lying part of it.

[@illyannalavynne2033]

I think the expansions addition of the inquisitor and team roles give a more even playing field.

[@hkgcgsdhjgd]

I agree. The Reformation expansion is a massive improvement over the base game.

[@Neutral_Tired]

You know what I'd do? Claim to have every role. I'm very clearly lying out my ass but it's a gamble what I'm lying about. I'd also take a new card pretty regularly, to add to the confusion

[@jaydereszynski3101]

Oooh lil Broooke I’m going to miss you so much 😢

[@trhynosaur]

One of my greatest board game memories from when I played a lot of them during college involves this game. Social deduction isn't really my cup of tea, so when everyone wanted to play this game, I decided that I didn't want to look at my roles for an extra bit of thrill. When people challenged them, I usually lost, but I was just as surprised as everyone else when I actually was the role I claimed. I lost almost every time. Almost. The one game I won was amazing. Might be a good House Rules episode if you wanted to make it one.

[@carnemerethwen]

There is a great little game called Mascarade that has that mechanic baked into the rules! The game intentionally adds that uncertainty into it at the set up, and throughout the game people can switch around the character cards (or not) in secret. If it's your turn, you have the option to look at your card to confirm what role you have but you can also claim whatever role you want to or think you might be and use the associated power. I find normal bluffing games a bit too stressful, but Mascarade adds in a level of silliness that makes it fun instead of stressful, at least for me.
