Jakob I don't know. This is his third tabletop episode I think, and the first one where he isn't the asshole in the game pretty much. Lol. He definately was in small world.

[@heleti0000]

Just sitting down watching “Van Helsing” on TV for the ???? time. Then remembered watching this playthrough and the reference to Grant’s work on the movie. I never actually thought “Van Helsing” was a ground breaking documentary or an Oscar contender - just a damn good fun movie. Never will forget Grant or his work - still and always will be sadly missed. Wil is still the most entertaining host of boards games I have watched (bought several of the played games after watching his reviews / playthroughs). 👍

[@ramadiel823]

With the added hilarity that the Hugh Jackman werewolf is all ripped, clean and sorta sexy-monsterish, while every other werewolf in the film is a ragged mess. *LOL* Like, it's Hugh Jackman, so obviously he has to look better than the rest of us dirty peasants by comparison. xD

Except Yu-Gi-Oh never really DID use the heart of the cards, he used his millennial items to get whatever he needed from the deck at a crucial moment.

[@brendaneichler5480]

Not to be a dick, but a) he generally referred to it as "the heart of the cards" amd b) it wasn't just the Millennium Puzzle because Joey got to use it. Granted, I'm basing it off the 4Kids dub, so who knows what the original said.

[@OscarGilFerrer]

yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Heart_of_the_Cards

[@askovtk4834]

Brendan Eichler the jp ver don't use the "Heart of the Cards" phase that much, but the concept still here, like "believe in your deck/card/monster", a strong duelist "always draw the card he want" or like 5ds, "win the battle by the power of bond"(Kitzuna/絆)

I spent the entire video looking for a pear

[@analogtrill8089]

I’ve watched TableTop religiously since the first season aired and this is easily the best board game episode. The mix of personalities is fantastic. You have some bits with Ify, you have the roleplaying, potty-mouthed and competitive, Amy, with Grant making for a great supportive player who is silently strategic but still having fun. These team games are a fantastic format for the show. I’d love to see this group come back for Letters From Whitechapel, Specter Ops, etc. My favorite episodes have always been two-parters. Does anyone agree here?

[@stevencleere4912]

RIP Grant. A brilliant and beautiful soul taken far too soon.

[@gaborbodzas8703]

at 19:12 *cries in Austro-Hungarian*

Gábor Bodzás I think he meant Czechoslovakia - which is wrong too :)

[@bifi1977]

yes lets explain this in detail: even though we love you that was not through at all. the map obweasly shows the Austrian at this point of time Austrian-Hungarian empirer. Why do I think I know at which time this plays I asume it is true to the story that starts whith the diary entry Wentsday 3 May 1893, which is also close enogh to the date of publication of the novel. for the game designers it would make sence to set it in this timeperiod. I cannot prove whether they did becausse I do not own the game yet which probably will take some time since i life in modern day austria. different ethnicitys of the country later called yugoslavia were also ruled by this empirer. thats the reason why zagreb and belgrad seam to be on the board. yugoslavia only existed in different forms betwean and 1929 and 2003, and prag was never a part of it.

[@Questron71]

Just call it Bohemia like the people in Prague did themselves under the kuk monarchy

[@bifi1977]

that would also have been corect

[@cyanmanta]

If Europeans were tested on their knowledge of North American history and geography, they would fail just as badly. Based on what I see on U.K. television, half of Britain thinks Chicago is a state.

[@alexj.cooney5946]

These two episodes are my two favorite in the entire tabletop series. When I first saw this like 5 years ago I fell in love with this game and the mechanics in it and the theme. As someone who's read the book this game drips that gothic atmosphere. I loved it so much that that I wanted to get the game but turns out because companies are confused on publishing rights this game is no longer in print. I was super bummed but year later for my 20th birthday my friends found a copy for me on ebay nd got it. OMG best birthday gift ever. To my friends thank you and to everyone if you have the opportunity to play this game do it. It's long but oh so worth it

[@lunartide6310]

love the back and forth between Amy and Wil here so fun !!

[@irongorillafederation1082]

The battle at the end was messed up. The card Nocturnal Visit says that each combat resolved during the next dawn or day is resolved as if it was night. They even say it "So if there are any weapons they'll break" ( 37:55)

[@acidhelm]

Wil's second Claws card also should have dealt another 2 damage.

[@antipothis]

He used escape as bat wrong as well. That card says it only works if dracula is in the fight.

[@alexthai5223]

wait but since both cards have claws, they cancel each other out? someone help me on this

[@Joshieluvscats]

Dracula attacks with claws. If the hunter has a card that has claws on it, it counteracts Dracula's claws.

[@AllWIllFall2Me]

Dracula can only break weapons at night using the Strength card, which Wil never actually played. It's quite possible he didn't have any, given the random distribution of Dracula's tactics. Acidhelm's right, though, that Ify should have taken 2 more damage, putting him at 3.

[@Oddball8760]

This show got me and my wife into board games. Its a shame that it isn't happening still. It's awesome to see games enjoyed before I buy. Its entertaining... the others that try to pick up where it left off just aren't as entertaining

[@brucemillis7111]

First off, the Van Helsing movies was just pure fun. How can anyone not have fun with that movie?

It was okay, but as a rebirth of the Universal Monsters in movie form, it wasn't quite good enough.

[@thefatbread5083]

RIP Grant Imahara, we are gonna miss you very much

[@HirionOfDale]

A couple of rule slipups. Dracula does not get to place an encounter on his starting position, so there would have been no vampire to fight or mature for points. Secondly, Mina does not get to pick which region she checks for Dracula's presence: it is always the one she is in herself. Mistakes aside, it doesn't detract from the video being a nice way to pass on the feel of a great game and of board games in general (a pity, though, that the game has been pulled from production after Games Workshop and Fantasdy Flight Games' recent break-up).

[@Blakestefer]

They played Mina's ability correctly the two times. On the second one they were just describing how the ability worked incorrectly, but it was still played the right way.

[@ShaneandStuff]

I just watched the part at 22 mins and they are fully playing it incorrectly. She says "you have to tell me where you are" and he says "no you have to pick a region" and she says "ok that red region". She was currently in Leipzig which is a green region. I don't know how you mess this ability up. It states "your region" very clearly on the character sheet which they put on screen during this moment.

[@ShaneandStuff]

Ok correction she did say are you in that green region but that seems more coincidence than anything.

[@Yuethefox]

Also as of typing this the 4th edition of the game is coming out this October! Oct 10, 2018.

[@Peter_Cordes]

I think when Will said "pick a region", he meant by moving there. And if Amy had tried to pick a region she wasn't in, Will would have stopped her. It looked like they got "fast horses" wrong, though. At least the video editing didn't show anyone discarding it after drawing a ticket with no yellow text.

[@selfdestruct3504]
