100% Winrate in Games of Skill (Clubhouse Games)

Clubhouse Games is available on Nintendo Switch!
This was taken from my stream on July 14th, 2021. Catch me live every weekday from 11AM-4PM: / northernlion
I was at a loss for what to play so I decided to run some Clubhouse. If you can't find one game to play - how about 51?

Explaining the rules of backgammon using vines was one of the most powerful things I've ever witnessed

I had to skip coz I didn't understand at all lol.

[@jesseengland5967]

I was excited to see NL play Go. I'm just starting to learn it, it's an amazing game. Even more complex than chess I'd say.

[@timlanley4218]

i lovehow he laughs like he is the chess grandmaster everytime he beats a 12y/o at connect 4

[@russkuksin8782]

I completely agree - Cribbage is totally pog. But that thumbnail teasing a game of Go was just cruel.

[@TheLocoRunner]

ikr? I watched the whole video waiting for go, but the light never went green man :(

[@riccardosapore8216]

[@guildencrantz133]

The absolute feral excitement I felt at seeing Go in the thumbnail before remembering Clubhouse don't have Go. The betrayal...

[@datruommi]

Indeed! Though not even gomoku (which is in Clubhouse) was in the video. Clickbait! Also, we've all seen this man play games. I can't imagine anyone who knows even a little Go could watch NLs first game without bursting a couple of blood vessels.

[@guildencrantz133]

[@datruommi]

@@guildencrantz133 Hmm, I'm not sure. Without all the chess he played in his youth, I don't think he'd like it nearly as much. That said, he does sometime surprise me with incredibly fast reasoning, well beyond me, even if the opposite is far more common.

Crib is the go to casual drinking game, because you don't have to think too hard (once you have played it 100 times) and you can chat and laugh and drink while also playing a very fun and interactive game.

[@CosmicMcRad]

2 minutes in and I have already laughed at “Joe is in control”

[@biggie_kellogs7919]

i guess the Go was too pogged for our feable mortal minds

[@1senhart]

Cribbage was super popular among US submarine crews during WW2, probably in part because the peg-in-hole design made it resistant to the sway of the ship.

My dad taught me to play rummy at 9 years old so he had someone to play against. I've never beaten him in my entire life and I'm 26, we play every weekend Edit: NL mentioned golf, me and my dad also played whatever PGA tour was out for the PS2 when I was like 10 and he made me play from the black tea just like him as well....I think my dad had a complex about losing now that I'm older

Euchre and Cribbage are Midwest classics. A lot of good memories playing games with friends in Undergrad

[@jenswinslow1542]

Don't let kids win, it cheapens any victory in future. Instead: 1) While learning suggest moves and explain why, think out loud, help them learn by explaining why 2) Give your self a handicap, adjust as they learn - that way they earn and deserve their wins, and can change / reduce handicap. Kids are familiar with game difficulty level, they will get it.

[@LackOfHarmony]

I've been playing Cribbage since near nonexistence. I can tell you that as much as mathematics is a part of the game, most of the game is reliant on luck. The only time skill comes in handy is if you play with mugging and your opponent is shit at math.

[@killermelga]

I'm very torn on the subject of letting kids win games on purpose. I had a little brother that was born when I was 18, and by the time we played games I was around 20 something. I don't think I ever let him win, but tried to make it as close as possible. I feel kinda bad about it but I'm not sure why, and I don't think I'd do it again tbh

[@mitchellboyce9853]

I'm really intrigued to think that NL thinks of euchre as a Canadian thing, because in Michigan we think of it as a Michigan thing. Which is actually really insufferable for the 2/3 of the state that didn't grow up playing it all the time, but don't tell southeast MI that

[@Mhippz]

[@ste_ph_en9018]
