Could not agree more, a classic game that is great fun to play even against newer hidden traitor games.

Only just now discovered this channel and this was the first video I watched as I'm teaching this to some friends this weekend. Absolutely amazing video and I'm working my way through all your videos. Hilarious stuff with great insights!

Cheers geez. Glad your enjoying the bollocks ✊🏻

Great video for a great game. Am looking at getting this back on the table, hence watching reviews and play throughs to remind me how to play it again. Game needs the hidden traitor mechanic to make it swing though.

[@richyasi7424]

Still my favorite co-op. Another great selling point is how easy it is to add/remove players on the fly.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Yes! Forgot all about that...thanks 👍

For me biggest plus is that you can easily play it with friends and family. Its a Christmas game. The poker hands from a gamer point of view is weird and boring. But for everyone else it makes the game accessible and intuitive to play because everyone understands the concept of card hands to complete quests. You can also have conversations over the game which makes it very social.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

The poker hands thing detracts from the theme when you first crack it open as it doesn’t fit too well. I got over that quite quickly though. I got rid of BSG as it was too long and fiddly for my pea sized brain. This is just enough...

This is a frequent game for end of the night at our boardgame night if we have about an hour left.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

An hour? What parallel universe do you inhabit?

I like your videos! Keep this up! Subscribed :) also would you make top 10-100 games that are still worth to play anytime soon? ;)

[@BoardGameBollocks]

We do a top 100 games of all time every Christmas. You can watch last years via our playlists. Thanks for the kind words!

Great review, and I just bought this game. Where can I find the cheatsheet? The ones in BGG don't look like that.

Do a Battlestar Galactica review! Best hidden role game ever!

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Got rid of it. Too long, too fiddly and don’t like the theme. Soz moosh.

[@dominikamusial6945]

Agreed, BG is overrated, Camelot is by far the better game.
