Would definitely add content. But also maybe slow stuff down. But curious to find out in future episodes.

[@metallsnubben]

@@explorer47422 In fact, the ability to split off and talk in pairs/smaller groups is PART OF THE RULES as well! That's a huge part of the game, being able to share and receive information that only _some_ of you know (maybe you reveal a super powerful role to only SOME people so when you die in the night you're pretty sure they wanted to kill you, etc etc.). And for the evil team, the fact that _only the demon_ gets showed the 3 bluffs (characters not in use) and wants to talk in private with their minions to share those bluffs, all without seeming sus somehow.

[@why_do_you_care]

Trevor silently big-braining the whole time is so heartwarming

[@minersheep8285]

Every clocktower game needs one person who legitimately considers everyone's statements 😂

[@animeaddictperson]

Amanda not revealing that she was the soldier at the beginning was so smart. Chanse was right that she revealed it at the perfect time. If the demon doesn't know who the soldier is when they attack and they unknowingly choose to attack them, they are basically 'wasting' a turn for attacking which is good for the good guys.

[@ameliarose47]

Chanse also stopped her from revealing it the day before. She was going to reveal it and he told her not to, and Amanda said I'm these games she always reveals to early and regrets it. Cut to her getting picked and revealing it the turn after revealing it at the PERFECT time. Chanse really is good at this game, they definitely need to bring him back next time they play.

[@oscarm4095]

@@ameliarose47 Chanse and Arasha are the best at these games, the former being better I feel (tho Arasha could just be crippled by the stigma that she's always lying even though Chanse is kinda just as good as her). They should always take point in this series. I love Anthony, he's the reason I got into Smosh again, but he's way too trusting and doesn't think too far ahead in these, unfortunately.

[@polblanes]

She still should not have revealed her role. The moment you say you're the Soldier, the demon will stop trying to kill you and try to get you executed instead. You have to say you're the Soldier only if you know for sure the demon already knows, and they didn't because there's a monk at play that could protect someone. As long as the demon doesn't know you're the Soldier, every turn is a potential fail to kill. Chanse and Arasha played amazingly and hopefully they will learn the game because they'll be brutal. It was very funny to see someone claim Chef and say they got a 2 and that's useless, Chef gets the amount of pairs of evil players sitting together so 2 means there's 3 evil players side by side xD I would have instantly thought he was drunk or poisoned. And Arasha claimed investigator and said she had inconsistent info on night 2 or 3 but investigator only gets information on night 1, luckily nobody realized that :)

[@OnlyMooseUKnow]

Spencer freaking out that Angela forgot her role. Goes to remind her. Which she confirms she knows what she’s doing. Then messes up right after. Is such an Angela move.

[@bee-om2ry]

I thought it was GENIUS picking Saint to throw them off her being the Monk, and Spencer was sooo cute reminding her lol. AND THEN SHE PICKED AMANDA INSTEAD OF COURTNEY LIKE GIRL WHY!! I woulda axed her on the spot but luckily they all knew no one in their right mind would save Amanda EXCEPT Angela 🤣🤣

[@them1ddle573]

​@@bee-om2ry"I woulda axed her on the spot" lmao 😂😂😂

[@badgercloudmushroom]

It wasn't even such a bad move to save the soldier (even though Angela didn't mean to). If the soldier gets poisened, they *can* be killed in the night. If they actually went off to (all) have private conversations during the daytime, Arasha and Tommy could've coordinated that.

[@ps1hagridoufofcharacter]

well she was very tired and distracted during the initial "going over the rules" meeting because of her baby so it's very understandable that she'd mess up (i'm jokingly referencing the mechanical baby video)

Alternatively, the game developers "The Pandemonium Institute" have broadcasted games as well. You might have to dig specifically for Trouble Brewing videos if you want to learn the basics (as most games have advanced or even experimental characters in them, causing a whole extra set of rules to be learned; like Madness.)

[@alexmiller9249]

There are so many rules. The good news is, if they keep playing the game and stick to 'Trouble Brewing'. The rules reinforce themselves through patterns of play (at least with new players).

[@kt_throwaway9994]

@@alexmiller9249 The problem is a lot of the characters were played out incorrectly (unless if that is what you were referring to). They need to refer to the wiki and have a (preferably experienced) CO ST before running this again so that way it is showcased as it is. Again, great that they are showing the game, but this felt misleading.

[@shadowgame0630]

Arasha's crazy play wasn't given enough credit. Not only was she poisoning Courtney every night, she did that to make Courtney think she was drunk because Courtney started to suspect she was being poisone. To reinforce that, Arasha started to claim that maybe she was being poisoned, not only throwing people off her scent but also making Courtney doubt her entire role because she might've just been drunk since two people can't be poisoned at the same time.

[@AB-xy3mr]

it’s honestly unsettling

[@pingwinsofmadagascarremast7079]

Seriously!! No one is acknowledging how smart Arasha’s play was

[@zoyamir4833]

I love Arasha’s strategy in these games. If Chanse is best at solving the riddles, Arasha is best at consistently weaving details into her story. I think over time she’s started to also use the way the others perceive her to her advantage, being more outspoken only when it benefits her more, which she probably picked up on after the Werewolf video. Well done to her, I just love seeing smart (and gorgeous) brown women in media 💕

kudos to Chanse for being casually good at the game. also good job sniffing out Tommy's strategy immediately, Trevor

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

Chanse balanced his role as "the one people will listen to because he knows what's up" really well. He didn't become overconfident and unintentially lead people astray. Ian tends to do that (Shayne and Damien as well) because they know games and/or has a tendency to be listened to in general. But they speculate as if they are "a normal player" because they don't view themselves like that. Chanse seems very aware of how he phrases things to point out what he knows and what he thinks, without bringing people along a single track too much. He's a great person in these games

[@amanshareef7971]

Honestly I feel like anyone who knows anything about this game is just wincing along with Chanse because not only did both of the evil people out themselves almost immediately (unintentionally obvi) but Trevor somehow didn't pick up on the fact that Angela was trying to protect her role as monk because it makes her vulnerable; also why did Trevor say who the two people weree omfg

[@ceeceepg]

[@Steev42]

@@ceeceepg Yeah, just one of the role misconceptions. I kept wincing at Tommy's Chef Bluff, claiming "learning 2 evil people are in the game is so helpful" when that is so not what it does.

[@NGSFilmWorks]

For future games, some really critical info for the story teller: Unlike in werewolf, just because a execution vote passes, doesn't mean the nominated is executed instantly. There should still be opportunity for other nominations (each player can only nominate and be nominated once per day). If votes are tied, them would be no execution otherwise, it's whichever player got the most votes in any one nomination that day who dies. Basically after a vote passes to execute, give the players a chance to talk and make a counter nomination, but usually not a lot of time. This would have given Tommy half a chance to manage the sudden suspicion on him especially as a number of players said they weren't comfortable with the vote so he absolutely could have tied something up. Splitting off for private chats is also a good idea, but probably a bit much of headache in terms of production. Hope you guys play a lot more of this as it improves so much as the same group gets more experienced with the game and how each other play. It could comfortably work as a longer running series.

[@RedClaw87]

Some storytelling tips and rules corrections: When someone is nominated, the nominator should make an accusation and the nominee should get a defense speech. When their are enough votes gathered, the nominee isn't automatically killed. (They are just on the chopping block.) More nominations can be made. If someone is nominated and gets an equal amount of votes, nobody is on the chopping block anymore. If that person gets more votes they are on the chopping block instead. At the end of the day the person on the chopping block is then executed. There were some misconceptions about some roles. Like the chef knows how many evil players sit next to each other. This game it would be one since Arasha and Tommy sit next to each other. If there was a player between them it would be 0. And if the Washerwoman learns that one of two players is a certain character, that doesn't automatically make the other person evil. Also the Fortune Teller doesn't leasrn ggod or evil, they just learn if one of the chosen people is the demon. Also one good player registers to them as the demon. All that said this is not saying Spencer did a bad job. As long as everybody playing had a good time it doesn't matter. It just about trying to help improving on the knowledge of the rules. That's all.

its a weird format where they choose to not include private talks, witch is how most information (atleast in the start) is shared, and it felt insane that day 3 was taking that much longer, players should interact but having it take that long and not having a couple of deaths (one execution and a night death) would in a more experienced group mean almost certain doom for evil

@@katie18976 If your whole point of a video is to showcase a game, then read the rules and stick to them religiously, doesn't matter how difficult the game is, if you feel the game might be too hard then to a few practice game before recording the video so that the players know how to play.

[@Ruminations09]

For those who aren't familiar with the rules of the game, I just want to clarify real quick: Tommy got the Chef role wrong, it is not even REMOTELY as bad of a role as he thought it was. It's actually generally considered one of the best roles on Trouble Brewing (the edition that they are playing). It's understandable that he would make the mistake - it's his first time playing and he was thrown into one of the hardest positions in the game and had to make things up on the fly. But the Chef's ability is not that they learn how many evil players there are, their ability is that they learn how many evil PAIRS there are. In other words, they learn how many sets of evil players are sat next to each other. For example, in this game, there was 1 pair of evil players, because Tommy and Arasha were sitting next to each other. The reason the Chef is so good is because if you figure out an evil player, the Chef information tells you whether or not you should think that player's neighbors are evil as well.

[@ExactApproachLOL]

I don’t want to “um, actually” their first game too hard (especially like… he got the demon in their first game, lot of pressure) but yeah that chef claim was rough. If he understood the role and through out “chef 0” it would have added one more piece of misinformation. I hope they play again and keep getting a feel for the details, there is SO much in this game.

[@TheAtticus19]

Yeah, thankfully, though, no one else in the game understood it, either lol

[@Yoanka]

@@ExactApproachLOL To be fair, I think the Chef is badly worded and mentioning adjacency more explicitly would go a long way towards making it understandable at a glance. At least the first time I looked at TB, it wasn't immediately clear to me what its description means until someone talked about it. Imo, for a second time, a more spaced out game with the room for private chats and asking the ST for help understanding their bluffs (and roles in general) would have probably gone a long way towards making the learning process smoother. As it is, the Imp would have been cooked (pun intended) on day 1 if there was a face-up outsider other than the Recluse in the game. But since everyone was playing for the first time and equally confused, it all worked out. An entirely "open forum" game of Clocktower is not something you see every day. :)

[@yugiwinninglex]

Oh Hi Rumi surprised to see you here. Also agreed. Chef is not adjancy. They learn how many pair of evils sits together. Tommy + Arasha is 1 pair. Tommy + Arasha + Anthony will be 2. Or lets says if theres 2 minion instead and there is a recluse. Tommy + Arasha 1. Example: Trevor (recluse) + Angela (minion) can be another pair. Also to add on to this game the FT aldo got things wrong, they dont learn who was evil but they learn if they are the demon. Also for this game, i think the Storyteller didnt do anything for the fortune teller being poisoned.

Trevor was not “gaslit,” my friend. Gaslighting is something with specific characteristics and criteria that are well-established and determine what qualifies as gaslighting and what does not. I respectfully encourage you and anyone else who might read this to look into what gaslighting genuinely is, what it is not, and what the criteria are that something must meet for it to qualify as gaslighting because the vast majority of people who use the term gaslighting are misusing it. ✌️🏽

Also Tommy really misunderstood the chef role, it’s not really clear from the description but it’s pairs of evil players sitting next to each other. So in this case a 2 would be impossible since there’s only 2 evil players, it would either be a 1 if they’re next to each other or a 0 if they’re not

[@Jacolini802251]

Spencer: "I don't think we really messed up at all".... Oh boy. It is a very convoluted game, I don't blame them from messing it up and I am sure they'll read the comments and realise the importance of the sidebars, proper voting, and all the responsibilities that fall upon the story teller. I hope they are willing to put in the work for a future video (I bet setting up production for the sidebars must be a hassle) but really the content potential is huge. People scheming privately, Hail Mary nominations, weird role powers that make the story teller question what is the best course of action. This video was fine but to just think of the level of enterteinment that we could get if properly played... Let's hope this gets revisited.

[@Jonathan-fw6ty]

I highly doubt they will ever play it "correctly" because private talks and scheming privately are an integral part of the game and including private chats in IRL games is very expensive and complicated. NRB raises 100k+ in kickstarter whenever they do a new "season", which end up being about 10k per episode or so. And that's with them hiring one of the creator of BotC to be the Storyteller to help with the game and keep up with the dozens of rules.

[@Jacolini802251]

@@Jonathan-fw6ty Most of the budget for the NRB series went to the set and filimg equipment and crew. Smosh already has all that. They've done videos before using other parts of the studio like the hide and seek. For an 8 player game they need at most 4 spots for the sidebars. The couch/time square serves as one, even maybe 2, if they talk with low volume and have good enough mics to catch the conversations. So it wouldn't be that difficult to set the rest. Would it take more work absoluletly. But I don't think the budget would be an issue. As for the story teller, If say Spencer would be to continue that role he only needs a little more study time. Watch a few more videos. He's more than capable of running this show. Maybe you're right and they won't bother. But I think is completely doable and worth it. I hope the Pandemonium Institute recognises the potential and maybe reaches out to them with feedback.

[@LasagnaTheArtist]

@@Jonathan-fw6ty They've already done something really similar to this with the amogus in real life set. They wouldn't even have to doll it up to the extent NRB does, just... have A Space where people can do private conversations. Which they've done before. I agree it's a pretty integral part of the game, but it's one they've proven they can pull off.

[@baydiac]

Anthony saying the Ravenkeeper seemed like a useless role so he might as well reveal himself, it won't affect anything, nearly made me fall out of my chair 😂 This was a very chaotic game and I'm honestly worried bc historically BotC/Pandemonium has acted very nasty to anyone who doesn't play their way. A fun game made by a very uptight, bitter, hateful company. Considering they gave Smosh this game as a gift hopefully they don't spew vitriol the same way as they did when Yogscast played it, bc I really enjoyed this video and would like to see them play again. BotC's spiteful gatekeeping habit might jeopardize that if the company throws another tantrum :,^)

Cool video! Just a tip for a possible next time regarding voting. If a vote passes for a player to be executed, they are instead “About To Die” (or on the chopping block, whatever you prefer). More nominations can occur, but the amount of votes to pass must exceed the amount of votes of the player About To Die. If that passes, the voted player is About To Die and the previous player is safe. If it ties, neither player is About To Die. The Storyteller can ask for a final call for nominations and then countdown from 5. If there’s no nominations, end the day. The player currently About To Die is then executed and dies.

It's funny to me that even the slightest about of bluffing caught them off guard - Angela's Saint bluff was genuinely a really smart way to stay alive and not get killed by the demon, but because they don't yet have the experience to know why good players would bluff like that, it almost caused more harm to the good team in the middle game as they tried to work out why Angela was lying.

If you look them up on KZbin with the name of the game, a lot of the newer videos include roles and mechanics that might be confusing so I recommend watching older videos first. Then you have Noobs on the Gooftower which is ran by comedian Chris Grace and often features some from the NRB cast. And then there is the official BOTC KZbin channel, The Grimoire, ElixirElise, Arif, Jams on the channel Gen Con and probably more I’m forgetting.

This can get way more strategic and sneaky. - I could see Smosh making this even more immersive through outfits/props/setting, I really think that is a next level they can pull off.
