I like how there actually was no significant reason to making the board life-sized.

[@basicallyjovani6462]

Besides making the video more freaking sweet

[@ToddM_arts]

It wouldn't be a PowerPalette video if they didn't transform their whole apartment.

[@squid1481]

It's to make the game not for stupid babies

[@NixityNullt]

Its called fun

[@rikithegod6641]

20:50 No way that was like two turns in one turn

[@princehunter]

Omg no way

[@RonaldMcJuicy]

no way its like he took 2, maybe 3 turns in one turn

[@patio8044]

dude that's so many turns in one turn

[@doubelgomez]

got to remember the plus 2 at the end. really like 3 turns if you think about it.

[@Wyrmknave]

If you think about it an average roll on a d3 is 2, and he managed to go eight spaces in a single turn, so looking at it mathematically it's almost as if he took four turns in a single turn

[@smolbrendan5978]

if only we had an arachnologist to explain what Candy Land is to us

[@thewiseoldfox]

Candy Land is a board game that isn't fun.

[@theseepingcicada8448]

Thankfully we hired Matt in a hula outfit to explain it to us, take it away Matt

[@earth88_]

​@@thewiseoldfoxhehe bored game

[@Murkus]

"how did it know" was the funniest thing you could've said in that moment

[@mattboss1362]

How is power palette *THIS* slept on?

[@patio8044]

I can't believe Nolan would just bully the elderly like that

[@unluckyfives]

Matt could've won if he had bought a mushroom from the shop. Then he could've rolled twice in one turn. That's like taking 3 turns in one turn!

[@Getlucky12]

The poster of Squidward watching you both do this really tied the video together.

[@nathanlindsey643]

I don't know what's worse, the fact that you had to eat a spider or that you've supposedly already eaten fish flakes...

[@bobmathrotus1474]

he said it tastes like how fish flakes smell. smell and taste are usually very closely related

[@Victuracor]

I'm glad to have contributed to this project! It was fun to come up with the card designs and some of the mechanics/effects. All-in-all, another great video from you two (even though I found the loser's punishment to be very difficult watch, lol).

[@josephgeorge620]

Thanks for not spoiling it.

[@mysticat]

Super good video! LOL

[@mscup8814]

The editing of this video framing it as a Mario Party game makes it so much more fun to watch

[@jpkurihara]

I'm so happy the egg surprise setup paid off

[@IzzyIsntReal]

3:21 impressive that he was able to remember to laugh in Spanish. If I found something humorous, I definitely would have forgot in the moment.

[@Renteks-]

I can't wait until one of these episodes randomly pops off and we get a video of nolan eating a soap soaked chicken to a million views

[@francorios5134]

man I love how Nolan was "You can do it! You're doing good!" all along, even though he absolutely stomped the whole game lmao. I need a friend like Nolan my friends call me butt face when I lose :(

[@illybee3]

u need a good balance of both kinds of friends

[@MitoNova583]

this is the most unhinged board game I have ever seen & I am living for this also I pay my respects to that Jurassic Park 3 on Home Video Cassette

[@bingoccolon]

god that tarantula was a brutal watch lmao

[@SiIvaGunner]

Grand dad

[@herothehedgefox]

i had such a huge grin on my face the whole time

[@HarktheHuman]

This has got to be the worst/best punishment to date WOWZA

[@RougeMephilesClone]

I was genuinely excited to see them play the game Mousetrap for half an hour. What we got was better, but I still think that game would play well on this channel. Note that it's been over a decade, possibly 2, since I've read the rules.

[@KOrgan0414]

That slap was too perfect.

[@yoyamon6811]

This is the best video on how to become an spanish Hawaiian fashionable armless insectivorous old arachnid

[@MrBonethrower]

It's only a matter of time before we all transform into arachnids.

[@bobmathrotus1474]

matt might be the strongest man i've ever seen this puts the recent simpleflips mario party video into perspective tbh

[@kingkuma4112]

This channel is the definition of quality over quantity

[@Mcfighter2K]

There needs to be a sequel to this. This is too good of a concept to keep as a one-off video

[@RAGERPLAYS]

I would have moved country, changed identity and ceased communication with every living friend and family member to avoid eating that spider.

[@samtar2756]

You guys throwing the dice next to the TV gave me anxiety, Thanks.

[@Changanator]

Outstanding video as always Matt and Nolan, you guys always go above and beyond to create something really cool

[@RilGames.]

To be fair, you have to have a pretty high attention span to be in the Candyland Hunting Grounds for more than 10 minutes. The loot drops are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp on risk versus reward, most of the dungeon's value will go over a typical player's head. There's also Kabam's capitalistic outlook, which is deftly woven into the ST set's characterization - their value draws heavily from EA loot box literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the attention span to truly appreciate the depths of this grind, to realize that it's not just boring - it says something deep about their lack of a LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike the Candyland Hunting Grounds truly ARE idiots - of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the incredible disappointment in Deca's existential catchphrase "Loading...", which itself is a cryptic reference to their potato servers. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those insane dream knight ppes scratching their heads in confusion as Kabam's genius dungeon design unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes, by the way, I DO have a Swoll Fairy tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 star ranks of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

[@sadden944]

Gotta appreciate the sheer amount of bup cubes across the floor

[@TheNerdySimulation]

Love how wildly silly this channel is whilst doing some actually legitimately creative stuff.

[@mango2450]

Permanent psychic damage has been rendered upon my being now

[@z4ndurr]

I’m waiting for this channel to blow up, the creativity and effort you put into these vids is incredible!

[@scares009]

Back in high school, we recreated a large Candyland board like this for some event to make the place look less sparse. We never actually used the board, but I had wondered what it would be like to have a bunch of high schoolers toppling over each other using it. I imagine this video comes close to what that experience would have been like

[@thew8138]

Solid egg-related content in this one

[@snayk60]

This is less Candyland and more Mario Party crossed with Chardee Macdennis.

[@Ceru02]

kinda surprised they didnt tear a chasm in the earth with how intense the tug of war was

[@VisaCardholder]

18:00 that's like getting two turns in one turn

[@minecraftg0d459]

its gods will i have been binging all your vids again then this pops up its a sign

[@HexxyHazel]

I've been looking forward to a new upload for so long!

[@absiebabsie]

The most creative baby men creating the most creative video with the most creative board game for baby's. GENIUS.

[@TheAdrestio]

Legendary quality and ideas. 🔥

[@ElectricFortune]

The Chance and Choice effects in particular are a cool spin on the reward/punishment gameplay, I'm constantly impressed by your creativity

[@thechugg4372]

The most underrated entertainers on this platform!

[@TwitchyTale]

I have started watching my sodium for health reasons and hearing you being conserend for the amount of sodium made me feel less alone thanks.

[@JolpoTFU]

I don't know if this was an ethical game, but it didn't stop me from loving the video

[@MrJsup23]

Maximizing my engagement. Y'all committedd to the bit. LOOOOOOOVE to see it. Sending love

[@-sk8-437]

Finally the once in a lifetime powerpalatte video release

[@mangoschmooves]

“I accidentally stepped on the egg” was way funnier than it should’ve been

[@PSIclops_]

Nearly perfect video, but gotta take off a point for Nolan drawing a honk shoo when he is clearly more of a honk mimimimimi. Seriously though yet another instant classic by you guys. Definitely gonna be rewatching this one for years to come

[@Shaymaru]

Eugh, I couldn't do half of the punishments you two did. Good video!

[@eciloppolice7043]

The life sized candy land board feels like something you would stumble upon in the post apocalypse or in fallout 😭😭😭

[@ArchiverOfWorlds]

I love it when the Algorithm finds me cool stuff like this. Subbed!

[@fistacuff1223]

There is no way a tarantula could taste that bad, aren’t they pretty close to being a mammal?

[@datoneshinyboi]

So much effort must have gone into this video, mad respect for both of you! Hope this channel grows more, you deserve it!

[@enderslayer389]

i’m so glad matt is finally being punished for the crimes he committed back in 1999...

[@thelightlysaltedpotato2123]

Squidward looks so done with their shit I love it so much

[@JacobStJohn-rh8gl]

criminally underrated channel

[@whatastandupguy3050]

Insane how Nolan just savagely beat Matt at this board game

[@3liteCasual]

You guys make really great, entertaining videos. Your chemistry as friends is a gem to watch.

[@AKAProm]

So glad I have notifications on for this channel. This was an absolutely baller video. I love how you two always go a step beyond when it comes to the video ideas. Theming the room, creating a huge board and dice, CANDY DAD. The editing was fantastic as well. The graphics made for the cards (Thanks Vic!) and everything were top notch. I'm always looking forward to the next project you guys do.

[@MaydayxRadio]

They should have hired simpleflips to explain what a board game is

[@Perc1000]

DEADLY TWISTER SEQUEL DUDE NO WAY

[@spaghei6487]

old card had me giggling and guffawing what a hoot matthew!

[@4per8]

shoutouts to PowerPalette

[@LikeFourOrFiveOtherNames]

I was on the edge of my seat watching two men playing tug of war. Great video, guys!

[@kylehughes2523]

Matt had it coming. R.I.P. pocket egg.

[@shugo0shi]

i legally have to commit. he ate a SPIDER, gang. that earned the comment and the like.

[@peternicholas3719]

Me watching Noland get "honk shoo'd" at 3 in the morning 💀

[@Sauren258]

Matt got CRUNCHED dude. Anyway you guys make such good videos always worth the wait.

[@smilingflame3152]

this makes me want to play a life sized board game

[@sheevpalpatine5123]

I really want to see this again, this was super cool

[@Tetro_b0yarchived]

"Mierda" That actually killed me being a Spanish speaker

[@anonymouspikminguy]

if you are what you eat, then matt and nolan are both insects 💀 i commented this before seeing 26:51 he is what he eats. Literally.

[@AgentChick]

Babe wake up, new PowerPalette video just dropped

[@cadencedavis7510]

Those were some super professional looking cards.. what a funnn idea

[@TheRook__if]

Man this video is great, your guys’s channel is so underrated.

[@jacksonbrown109]

10/10 as always. Criminally underrated

[@guyspeccy2923]

1/3 eggs survived this video

[@ayoraster2970]

damn how are you so wholesome even when eating a tarantula lol

[@Grapplejack]

You guys put so much effort into these things

[@jamisdono]

Babe come quick there's a new powerpallette video

[@charleshaskell2056]

Isn't tarring and feathering, like, extremely painful and straight-up physically traumatic? those burns never go away.

[@vexphoenix]

Every single video you guys make is just so perfect lol

[@Scalfr193]

may the lord have mercy on your souls after this horrendous game

[@noisepollution4473]

This was great! Thought I was just gonna pop over here and subscribe to you guys as a show of support, but then I couldn't stop watching the video! Great work!

[@Herachi_Sakura]

one of the most creative and fun channels out there...idk if I would love or loathe to play your game though xd

[@negihun]

now he's got a taste for bugs

[@GreatFox42]

this video gives me faint vibes of CowChop (house era), and I'm for it

[@LunarChicken]

Amazing as always. Hope your ghost hunter career hasn'

[@rawoo9385]

I'm gonna have nightmares about consuming spiders tonight amazing video

[@Masked_Pirate_Geist]

I always get excited for some power palette Once again you guys knocked it out of the park in both execution and editing.

[@zeroranger]

I love these kinds of videos. I wish you could make these more frequently but I understand with all the editing jobs!

[@epsilon9669]

it's crazy how many ideas y'all came up with for this, incredible video (as they always are)

[@scrungybingus285]

I presume that the minigames were all shot live during game (because how else would you know who to deal out winner/loser rewards to afterwards) which makes the fact that the first lap tug of war is in broad daylight and the second lap ice bucket is in the dead of night VERY funny

[@thenumberseven959]

Just came over from the latest Simpleflips video. It was well worth the watch!

[@Jeysong]

Dang, I didn't know it was your guys' board game. Happy Board Game!
