[@davidhulem7894]

I love when Seth and Clare are on. Those are my favorite episodes.

[@ddiaz28]

Seth's "F*ck fire, man" comment was hilarious. Looks like a fun game

Nothing like watching Tabletop to bring my son and I closer together. Thank you guys at Geek and Sundry for being awesome!

One of my favorite parts this episode is everyone's (but especially Claire's) emotional intensity.

[@quincyking010]

did anyone think for a second that a team game with will and dice ever would spell victory???

[@Arsenesational]

I mean it did work in one particular game... I'm not gonna say what game but it did work.

[@saetharion]

I mean, no thanks to Wil though. He got carried through that lol.

[@LaughingOwl10]

You haven't played the game if you think they were doing good at any point in the game. Not a single person picked a job that could actually help save people.

[@bestpseudonym1693]

When Will said they are playing on veteran I was like well rip

[@bigdream_dreambig]

"...to help save the hazardous materials enthusiasts who live in this house." 🤣

[@giordanoglou]

"A 7 AGAIN?" Died laughing. No one there saw him rolling dice before i guess

[@FortWhenTeaThyme]

Kelly: "I picked my card because he's Asian" Clare: *Lays out spreadsheet of tactical decisions for why she picked her card* I love her dedication to the game. You can tell her goal is not to socialize, to get PR, etc. she actually wants that win with every fiber of her being.

This show is great. I've watched nearly every episode of this, and it inspired me to start playing more board games. I never would have bought the handful of board games I own now if I hadn't seen them be played on this show. Keep up the great work Wil!

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

I ran the numbers. Two IS indeed more than zero.

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

Thanks for crunching that out for us.

[@darkstar4341]

As I don't think they specifically mention it, the expansion they used in the video (For the figures) is the 'Extreme Danger' pack. The base game comes with 6 generic figures, but included most of the specialist roles, while this expansion added in the matching figures, along with a bunch of features introduced in the other expansions. Like the other expansions. it also gives you new maps, and also threw in an optional extra level, giving you more ground to cover, but also upping the difficulty.

[@gloomy2163]

@Matthew Haycock do you know if the figures are custom painted or if they come painted in the expansion? i found very little info on this online.

[@darkstar4341]

They have been painted specially for this video. They come unpainted in the box.

[@gloomy2163]

cheers thanks.

[@zombiesrppl2589]

Matthew Haycock thank you so much this is what I was looking for in the comments. I just picked this game up at a board game auction for $10!

[@FatalKitsune]

Seth Green is great and should be in every episode.

[@chbo8045]

Agreed

[@karinahilliard6348]

As a wildland firefighter, how have I not heard of this game? I need this now!

[@daddylachance3266]

By far one of my favourite TableTop Episodes (I love all of them, but this one was awesome. Plus, Seth Green is in it)

[@darkowl9]

Hmm, at 10:50 I'm not sure you can flip fire back to smoke if it's next to fire. I was fairly certain that smoke turning into fire when next to fire is instant and automatic - therefore you have to spend 2AP to fully extinguish the fire, rather than if it was on its own... but it's been a while since I've played :)

[@carlzuckerman9372]

wil stating how he enjoyed being Dracula wearing a Bauhaus shirt...epic "hi, I'm Kelly hu. wil's stepson's fantasy girl..." (go back and watch the episode with them in it)

[@Dagger33]

I do love the cinematic possibilities in this game. The last one we played included a firefighter heroically chopping through a wall where a person was trapped, entering the room...and hauling their stupid propane tank outside where it wouldn't explode.

[@mikloowl4899]

One of my favorite games here. Did they not place a hot spot on the hazmat when it exploded? Check that, happens later on. Also smoke that is adjacent to fire become fire at end of turn.

[@ItBePatYo]

You're talking around 29:20, right? That's what I also noticed.

[@therpgwriter8459]

It was the second turn of the game when they were ignoring flashover rules and it was annoying me!

[@KnightMirkoYo]

@@therpgwriter8459 did it really matter, since they lost anyways? Ah the start conditions seemed really difficult

[@nicktheanticlause1313]

Shame you didn't have the structural engineer card (from one of the expansions). They cam use 2 AP to remove damage from a wall back to the draw pile. (Also, they can remove hotspots). One of my favorite role cards.

[@therpgwriter8459]

True, but they can't put out fire, so they have to have good teamwork.

[@osutuba]

OK, gotta say this: Kelly Hu in glasses = hawtness! Clare Grant is just All-Alerican cuteness

[@Trevin_Taylor]

[@matthiasthefaithful8227]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS EPISODE, WILL AND TEAM! This is one of my favorite games. This is my #1 go to for any friends who come over and are not "board-gamers". "Easy" setting is great to get a flow. They definitely played the hardest settings. If you want to get friends into board games can't recommend this one enough. Please do more co-op games (Big Book of Madness or Centennials of the Multiverse)! BTW - love the paint job on the mini's (they come un-painted)

[@CrowMercury]

Well, a heavily based dice game with Wil Wheaton. I'm saddened that I knew the result as I read the game name.

[@wraith.ferron]

"I have mixed feelings about saving this meth-frat house" should become a gif.

[@frostedjosieos3193]

The biggest inhale when I read "Flash Point" and then "Clare Grant...Seth Green"

[@brianhester1996]

Wil's luck with the dice suggests that ANY level above "Novice" is unwise... Great game, though!

[@cassidysilver]

Kelly Hu voiced Mulan, and she named her dog Mushu. That's just adorable.

[@mrscary3105]

I have seen every episode of Whose Line, and no one has done it better then Wil. That speaks of talents that are rare. Wil, I will DM for you any day, all love brother! PS: If you have not seen the Whose line episode with Wil in it, you have to check it out. No guest has ever before been able to keep up with the cast as much as Wil, and they have had wonderful guests.

What they need in the background is the nondescript mumblings of firefighters from Rescue 51 on the show Emergency. It was always played when the firemen were fighting the big fire that happened in every episode. Still one of the best shows from the 70's. And medical accurate many of the drugs and methods are still in use today, 40 years later.

[@kr555wizard]

Wil rolled a triple 7, that is super statistically unlikely which i think adds up to 1/512, if he was in vegas he'd hit the jackpot, but that reminds me how bad will is with dice rolls.

[@adamgourley6412]

If Kelly just had her cousins from Tokyo to do their awesome dance like in "Welcome to Tokyo", then they would put out all the fire by sheer awesomeness.

[@SenseiLeRoof]

Okay, hands up everyone who knew they were gonna lose the second Clare expressed final-hour hope...

[@kapoorman606]

I love how when Wil explains of how to play the game, he uses the pronoun "she" for the player. Thank you from all the lady gamers out there. This little use of terminology helps subtly change the way people subconsciously think about gamers and how women can love games just as much as their male counterparts.

[@etheldir128]

Kelsey Poorman It's also written that way in the rulebook for flashpoint - it uses 'she' throughout. I really enjoyed that

[@arandombard1197]

No, it's just clumsy and confusing. 'He' is the generic pronoun, using 'she' as a political statement just sacrifices clarity for an empty gesture.

Whenever Seth Green speaks, I can't put Joker out of my head... Especially since I've played ME3 like 5 times now.

[@SoloClub123]

Doesn't the building collapse when you need a grab a black cube but there isn't any left? So they could have played more.

[@mkanoap]

That is my understanding. But since they kept inadvertently cheating by leaving smoke next to fire, it evens out.

[@SoloClub123]

That's true. Still a great game. Especially for intro to board games, the rules can be explained quickly.

[@darkstar4341]

Definitely a good introductory boardgame. It was one of the first I played after a friend introduced me to it, bought myself a copy as soon as I could. Quick enough to pick up the rules, and can offer a good amount of replayability thanks to the dice rolls helping to make each session different.

[@ricleonhart]

Actually they did that thing right. Rules state that you lose when you have put out all damage cubes - not when you have run out of them. So yeah, they stopped playing at the right time. Still a few cringeworthy moments, tho

This is why they put the names of the VAs in the credits. Or would you rather have them flash the names of the characters along with their VAs under the screen when they're first introduced?

[@Sarobii85]

Doom Whale Joker was one of my favorite characters. They should do a flight sim spinoff starring him lol.

[@jled787]

They probably were planning to make a Normandy Flight Sim, but since Joker's disease practically makes him a paraplegic, It probably wasn't made with good taste. It was a surprise to briefly play as him in ME2, and the tragedy that had befallen on him in ME3 really broke most of our hearts, I kinda wished Bioware let us tell Joker the bad news, so we can see him like how he imagined himself during the Cerberus Attack on the Citadel in the Citadel DLC.

[@shimobe94]

1. False Alarms don't turn into Hazmats. That's absolutely not in the rules, and why in the name of all that's good and holy would you house-rule that? 2. They kept forgetting to flip smoke to fire at the end of the turn. Yes, it can be useful to prevent an explosion for your Advance Fire roll, but after you roll, if smoke is next to fire, it IMMEDIATELY turns to fire.

[@adiestone5099]

Kelly Reed In almost every episode they change rules and forget things but at least it's still fun to watch.

[@tristanwhitley]

There is a variant in the rulebook called "Unmarked Hazards" which does the unmarked POIs, but you also don't put Hazmats out during the setup.

[@mikev230]

I play that house rule on Vet to make it more interesting/harder. It also makes the Hazmat player relevant throughout the game not just the first half of the game.

[@TheGitarrlillan]

Don't forget 11:58, first time a space is hit there will be smoke not fire immediately.

[@jonathandpg6115]
