If I recall correctly, the Lord Of The Rings board game has one thing you didn't mention, and that was that it can be soft locked. Specifically, the final game in the series, Return of the King, can be soft locked. Basically, Return Of The King adds a mechanic involving the Eye Of Sauron, and wherever it faces on the board, characters within its line of sight cannot move. On top of that, it's possible to get Sam and Frodo to Mount Doom very early in the game, and once they get there, their story is finished, but it's not the end of the game, it just means they can't move anymore. The game only ends when every character has resolved their stories, and some characters don't even appear until certain map spaces hit the table. As a result, it's possible to get Sam and Frodo to Mount Doom (which comes out early on) and have the Eye Of Sauron facing the other characters, which makes them unable to move, which means that the game no longer becomes playable after that point.

[@Logan-tz1ry]

wait. so wouldn't this happen 6 HOURS IN????

[@Tinil0]

Wait, so what causes the eye to move? Is it related to moving yourself to cause the softlock?

[@TheMadwomen]

This is the only board game we have ever heard of with no way to win or lose. It's a game-breaking glitch in a board game.

[@NickW855]

@@SimonCallahan That's dumb considering Aragon et al literally wanted the Eye on them.

[@SimonCallahan]

@@Tinil0 The eye moves whenever you land on the ring spaces. You pick up a numbered ring card and it will tell you which way Sauron is looking. The last game has a minimal element of choice, so it is possible to negate it to some degree, but it will eventually happen again.

Dude, Gone with the Wind has to be a contender for the next WBGT. I have never seen a board game so confused on its identity without being deliberate like Heckadeck. On a related note, one possible idea for a future video could be the Most Fascinating Spinoffs of Classic Board Games such as Clue Escape, Twister AIR, Sorry Sliders, etc. In other words, games that stick to their original material at its core, but are completely different on a fundamental level.

To make Carpathia more interesting, you should institute a rule where you HAVE to beat whoever is representing The Entity in a game of whoever's choosing that meets the player or Carpathia itself. If you meet Carpathia: Defeat it in whatever battle you declare, and if you can do this, you rightfully defeat the entity and win. If Carpathia meeta you: Win against it to keep control of your mortal soul. If you lose, Carpathia consumes you and you are eliminated. It's like people saying they fought Death: we will never know what game, or combat style, or other competition they played to stay the hand of Mr. Scythe. It's the same here: no one knows what you will do to either slay the incarnation of Rapture, or to barely escape its clutches.

[@ketsupo]

Person who owned the full LOTR Board Game before our cat pissed in Mount Doom and doesn't remember much about the rules: if I recall, the only ring spaces that you need to stop on are the ring spaces in red. That means that there is a bit of variability, because you might not have an item that would be good for the section you are in. And this also gives you a reason to move the other characters; they can land on the spaces that other characters missed, meaning dice rolls can be important and replayability do actually exist in the game! ...Although I might be misremembering playing the game by myself for hours on end as a kid and having that rule myself because it made the game an actual game.

"Left Behind" was actually originally a book series, hence the inane subtitles. What this also means is that if we make a video game adaptation of the board game we can go full crazy. Probably even feature Dante from devil may cry in the game too! I'd *say* we can call it "Left behind II" but clearly thats what we should've called the first game, going by the disappointing sequel with no original up next. I think the wildest part of the Mask Board game is how it accurately kinda adapts the plot structure from the comics with the mask stealing mechanic, which is impressive given how its based on the movie, which is an entirely separate beast to the comics all together. Fun little Twilight Trivia; the reason there's only three board games is because Twilight fans actually hate the 4th book. For obvious reasons in some cases (Remember "Imprinting"?), but also because apparently the book flandsrized the characters to hell and back to make them match the movies more.

Of all the board games shown, Gone with the Wind is the most baffling.

At one point I drew a card that said to recite some magic phrase from the movie. But I had never seen it, so I didn’t know the phrase…and there were no rules to say what to do. Eventually we just shrugged and someone else said the phrase, then we moved on.

Kam mentioning The Thing in a video really makes me hope he'll cover The Thing board game (Infection at Outpost 31) someday, that game's fantastic and one of my favs.

As someone who used to be terrified of The Mask as kid and still creeped out by him (no thanks to my older brother taunting me with it as a kid), this thumbnail is gonna haunt my subscription feed for the next couple days 😂

It's crazy, this video brought back memories I hadn't thought about in so long: playing the Jumanji board game (note: this would've been in the 90s). I remember it came with this little dome thingy you would slide the cards in so you could read them - otherwise, the card looked all red and fuzzy - and the dome would "decode" it (an attempt to translate the movie's magical dome thingy that told you your fate). I remember having a lot of fun with it, but as someone who didn't have many friends growing up, I didn't get to play it all too often. I don't remember it being particularly fancy, like I can't remember whether the pieces were like the ones in the movie - I wanna say they were little animal shapes like in the movie but maybe a flat, cardboard version. Not sure, I'll have to look it up cause I'm kinda excited to remember more about it. Pretty sure it had the "monsoon in your lagoon" card. Edit: So yes I went to look it up but freaked out when I saw The Noble Collection has a seriously legit-looking version of the game for, like, $150. Phew. Almost worth it. My mom has a couple Harry Potter things from The Noble Collection - including a Time Turner made with real gold (it doesn't actually manipulate time so it's paradox- and plothole-free, AND it spins!).

The Rear Window Board Game took almost 70 years! So the fan hype was definitely Gone with the Wind

[@Hugelag]

2 videos in the same week? How delightful!

[@mateoremedi4703]

Honeslty, lotr is the best franchise for a board game,with the whole team moving at the same time and with every space in the board being an event,with some dividing the players in different routes. Heck,it gives space to what if and alternate endings,like what if boromir didn't died,or if gandalf didn't fell to the pit But...no

[@TheRealJabbergeist]

There's actually a modern E.T. game that came out in 2022. It's published by Funko and designed by Prospero Hall, a combo that has produced some actually pretty good classic movie tie-in games in the last several years. The pieces are really nice in it too!

There was a board game based on The Crow (not the later, more competent The Crow: Fire It Up, this one was just called The Crow) where the entire game's ruleset contradicted itself so much it was unplayable. You had to get Eric's engagement ring with your crow piece, and give other people fakes. The problem was you also had to beat Top Dollar, and you had to do so by getting the help of the other players, which they had no incentive to do. Everything was printed on magazine paper. We tried to play it for an hour and couldn't even start due to all the problems with the rules. The other problematic licensed board game I ran into wasn't bad at all--the Games Workshop Judge Dredd game. It did, however, have a softlock condition: there is a a card that lets you move any villain on the board to any space on the board. The problem comes when a Judge dies, they end up in the hospital space, where the rules are crystal clear that no one can combat in the hospital. The problem is, if a villain is on the board and you can't attack, you lose and die automatically. So if a trolling player decides to stick Judge Death in the hospital, you're cooked.

Ah man I remember a Prince Caspian (The Chronicles of Narnia) game that was the absolute worst. Basically you could gather allies to help you roll more dice to beat enemies along the way but if you ever messed up, you had to wait until an enemy weak enough for one die to beat (only two types out of around 7-8) to come up in the enemy deck to even have a chance, and even then it was a dice roll to get past. Components were also super cheap and the theming was barely there other than movie stills. The board game for The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe slapped tho.

[@Statalyzer]

I got that one for $5 and my niece and nephew who were 9 and 11 kind of mildly liked it although it dragged a bit. It was pretty bad but I think it's still less bad than anything in this video.

13:44 My God, Kam saying that just gave me flashbacks to so many AVGN episodes

[@calvindang7291]

Whoa, a video with a game I've actually played before! Not knowing anything about Twilight made trying to play a Twilight trivia game quite the experience.

[@Mechan1calMag1c1an]

The fact that ET not only had a video game so bad it crashed the market but also has a really terrible board game just proves that we can NOT let that alien bastard back in a game of any kind

[@gaaraxebeard]

I'd add Jumanji to this list. I remember one of the main challenges you had to complete to win was incredibly stupid. You turned a sand timer over and just had to keep rolling the die until you got the face you needed before time ran out.

[@MrSkerpentine]

I never thought I’d ever be reminded of 13 Beavers while watching someone talking about Emperor Zod but here we are lol

[@Painocus]

I've played the Twilight the (Movie Board) Game. As I remember it it played like a pretty typical Trivial Pursuit-esque trivia game, despite the challenges and what not. I remember their being something weird about the cards tho, but I can't remember exactly what, like the Triva questions were too easy, or some of the answers were printed to the wrong questions, or a couple of the challenges didn't make any sense (or were either unfailable or unwinnable), or something like that. It was my sister's and I think we only played it once together, after that she played it mostly when she couldn't get her friends to play Zombies!!! with her.

[@algotkristoffersson15]

I nominate the last one for the tournament.

[@ajh22895]

The problem with ET is you only have incentive to get ET to the middle if you are in the lead. So if you are playing a 4 player game, 3 players are trying to keep ET away from his ship.

[@SylviaGrome]

The lord of the rings board game is just dnd lite…like c’mon just add dnd combat and suddenly you got a good game
