Things that Ruin Game Night

There's so many things that can ruin a board game night! Spilling drinks, scheduling, not knowing rules, the list goes on and on! Imagine driving off but accidentally leaving Gloomhaven on top of the car, sending cards and tiles everywhere onto the street! Or how about when someone gets back from an MTG prerelease and smells absolutely awful? And then there's players who are sore losers and rage with huge gamer moments when the dice don't go their way! Maybe they're even all of these things! At which point no tabletop game will do and maybe you just need better friends.

RIP to everyone who passed before their most anticipated Kickstarters were delivered 😢

[@kirksellman1999]

"The iron clays saved me." Funniest line you guys have ever produced.

[@thecaryou]

That was amazing. The laptop been worth nothing got me. Everything was so accurate.

[@thekrazykane2649]

My group has one friend who is always an hour late. We kinda learned to expect that so we always tell him the time an hour early. That way, he shows up on time!😂

[@andrewh5568]

I like how he raged at Monopoly because the slight risk of damage to the game and it was the most expendable.

[@Shelfside]

Daniel actually ended up hurting himself off that, some metal from the game stabbed his hand ahah -Ashton

[@IslanKleinknecht]

"No wait, that's the spanish section" 🤣🤣🤣

[@MyParedrus]

I hope no Sid Meier's Civiliation The Board Game (2010 edition) with the expansions Fame & Fortune and Wisdom & Warfare was harmed during the making of this!

[@Shelfside]

Sid Meier's Civiliation The Board Game (2010 edition) with the expansions Fame & Fortune and Wisdom & Warfare was ok!

[@benjaminloyd6056]

Nobody dumb enough to burgle an inhabited house would be smart enough to steal board games .)

[@Shelfside]

Macbook? Robbery triggered

[@BoardsAndBorders]

One more: Sore Winners.

[@googletubesucks]

funny stuff! I have to admit, I was the "bad teacher" at me and my friends game night this past weekend. won't happen again!

[@firelordeliteast6750]

In his defense, trying to enjoy monopoly is like trying to act calm when your house is on fire and also your insurance company is on the verge of bankruptcy

[@GR8GUYNo1]

2:32 the angry birds theme absolutely killed me

[@proownage456]

so funny LOL, keep bringing the other two for skits like this

[@Shelfside]

ahaha will do! -Ashton

[@zylapena9967]

Gloomhaven Tuesdays... I felt that 🤣🤣🤣 On a side note, holy shit those nacho hands triggered me!

[@Shelfside]

I hate getting my fingers dirty and can't even comprehend not eating snacks with chopsticks, let alone people hand grabbing something like nacho fries -Daniel

[@daseemore4377]

The robber taking only taking the Mac book is so true lol.

[@Shelfside]

That one doesn't even turn on :)

[@daem0nfaust]

Ah yes, that gunshot on game night chestnut pretty much ruins games

[@Shelfside]

it really does...

[@anjovimusic]

Great job on this one! Remember when i first brought my copy of archipelago out to play with my inlaws and this dude just had these extremely melty looking ice cream sandwiches on his side of the board. At that point I was just happy to get the damn game played though (though I made an aggressive move on turn 1/2 that i'd regret for the rest of the game as my sister took to a personal grudge for the remaining 2-3 hours x'D...was still funny though so it wasn't so bad) As an aside: I'd die with content if the robber had decided to raid my collection. Just imagining him dealing with hagglers on the facebook market...x'D "You know 50-60% retail (online retail...before taxes/shipping) is the common asking price for board games right?" I digress though, haha! just always stands out to me when the thought of investing in games for resale comes to mind.

[@AUMOTmusic]

the lower pitched cash register sound for the shitty old macbook SENT me

[@ryantran6167]

I unfortunately fall under the “bad teacher” category sometimes….

[@twothirdsanexplosive]

Children bedtimes Plan: I'll be there at 9 after I put to l the kids to bed. Text at 10:00: I'll be there in 15, they yeeted dinner across the kitchen, cried throughout bath time, needed 3 diaper changes, and finally fell asleep. Text at 10:15: I was about to walk out door and they started screaming and partner needed me.

[@morgaknightgames]

To be fair, Monopoly brings out the worst in everyone. 🤣 Good skit! We're currently dealing with the scheduling thing in my group due to a bunch of us having job changes... Or babies. Sigh. At least a lot of my collection can be played solo.

[@iRommero]

Monopoly is simply and fairly a bad game as well :) it's not funny to loose or to fall behind while playing it.

[@francispham6113]

Great video! Keep it up

[@jordankolb2976]

1:45 An avid user of r/boardgamecirclejerk I see ;)

[@BlueTorchWeddings]

Bought Hegemony, haven't played it yet. Looking forward to your review on it 😊

[@hectordejesus9194]

That was great. It totally describes my board game group

[@BrotherMingGames]

Iron Clays saved the day

[@Shelfside]

pew pew pew

[@mercuzio711]

This is gold!!!

[@Morganix01]

One of the funniest videos yet. Also RIP Ashton.

[@Shelfside]

those ks surveys... -Ashton

[@Gauweezy]

My wife's boyfriend loves this

[@espiraldejuegos]

😆😆😆😆😆😆 Esto es maravilloso!!

[@bgt2701]

Robbery lmmmmmmmmaooooooooo

[@mikaeki5245]

Transportation one was pure fiction. We all know we take better care of our games than our human babies.

[@Shelfside]

This had me in stitches lmao: www.reddit.com/r/boardgames/comments/x0bg9s/worst_accident_that_destroyed_your_board_game/im7cclz/ -Daniel

[@rdot8419]

I love how all the games are worth more than the MacBook. Facts. Lol

[@john-qz3fu]

Great video. One thing that kills game night for my group is that one guy who has to make it known to the world that he doesn't care if he wins or not, like he's beyond that - he just wants to play for fun. Not being competitive ruins a game night for us... what a drag... essentially giving a seat to a sentient randomizer.

[@andrewh5568]

Accepting you might lose is okay, not trying to win isn't because of you aren't trying to win you can play spitefully and tank someone else's game for the sake of it.

[@Shelfside]

There's definitely a fine line between being 'not playing that competitively' and ruining the spirit of the game! Darn chaotic/unengaged players -Ashton

[@gir73]

I once had a friend use a card to shovel crumbs together...

[@Shelfside]

to eat them? -Ashton

[@gir73]

@@Shelfside No, to clean the table. It was a Gloomhaven card I think. Would it have been better if she had eaten them?

[@Herolisk661]

Not the nacho hands!!!!!!!!!!!

[@joseroman3791]

new vid! yeah!

[@Shelfside]

ahaha cheers! -Ashton

[@lp9092]

Robbery. That’s pretty.... uhhh ... specific? What the story behind this, gentlemen? You guys have been robbed on f-in’ game night?!

[@ajeba98]

Brilliant

[@mabos555]

Me seeing for the first time that rahdo is one of the patterons dude who support you guys... Yay! Can you please do some real KZbinrs imitations next as the next stigma video? Nothing too offensive of course just for the laughs. Kind of to continued to the older video

[@Shelfside]

ahaha cheers! Not sure if I can work that in, I'll try -Ashton

[@sebastienvivas9319]

LORD DANIEL!

[@abruwer08]

Hilarious!

[@DoppelgangerF02]

LOOOOOOOOOL amazing

[@j.elliottcasal3328]

The robbery thing hit a bit close to home! Not sure why people think that stuff is funny

[@raodvanlaontotaoke4993]

Ah deep sea adventure. Great filler.

[@Shelfside]

its a great one, wish there was a little more replayability so I could play it all the time! -Ashton

[@henrilahteenmaki3838]

Dont you just hate it when your wifes boyfriend shows up to the game night..

[@Shelfside]

it ruins game night

[@RedBird77]

That stinks from the arm pit was actually coming from the catan box

[@Tumpkin2]

I couldn't agree more. Playing pandemic would totally ruin game night ;)

[@Shelfside]

ahaha you savage

[@shortydancer]

My wifes boyfriend. Are you guys members of /r/boardgamescirclejerk?

[@Shelfside]

No but I do have 69 copies of Patchwork in shrink wrap -Daniel

[@jknifgijdfui]

Good video how about the idiot for board game stereotypes he somehow always picks the worst option for every choice and doesn't understand anything thats happening

[@Shelfside]

will see if I can work that in somewhere -Ashton
