This and Blood on the Clocktower are excellent in breaking the “that’s what an evil person would say!” stigma

Wow the forensic scientist and I share a birthday? This is even better than when my birthday was on Rusev Day!!!

"Dead is the loneliest number" is possibly the greatest callback of all time. Bravo sir. Bravo.

The Adam-Denise feud intensifies and I'm here for it

I have said this before, But I want to say it again. It's amazing listening to you talking about something you love. You have such a talent for presenting these things, And it's fantastic to listen to you share something you love to the rest of the world.

I’ve played Deception I think 4 times with different people, I’ve been forensic scientist each time just because I was the only experienced player in each group. Last time I played it I had to get them to guess Trowel & Earrings. Round one went well, second round came along and I put down “Bits and Pieces” for the next clue. Big mistake, someone else had a Machete and they immediately honed in on him. I had to sit in silence as they wasted guess after guess and pray that a few players kept their badges so I could remove that clue in round three. Good team one, but I came THIS close to bungling it.

Paul Monitor the hall monitor is back!

Adam has never made me laugh harder than "he was only 23 years away from retirement"

Fantastic (Review/How To play) Clear, concise, informative and most of all damn right entertaining! If I ever design a table-top game, I want this dude to present/explain it! Hats off!

Happy Birthday, Forensic Scientist! I love this game to death, and am pretty happy to see you cover it! In a similar note, Thank you Adam for so much that you do and make. You got me back into Professional Wrestling with your lists and booking videos in Whatculture, and now with everything No Rolls Barred and QuizzleMania. Huge fan of yours! Get on board and jam that jam, everyone!

MY biggest problem with Clue is that you can be the murderer and win by arresting yourself rather than trying to get away with murder. This feels like the perfect Columbo murder simulator, with the battle of wits the murderer has to use to get away with their crime before someone catches them

I never found social deduction games interesting, but this game is the most fun i have ever had with a large group. I had to reprint the game myself but if you can buy it i can't recommend it enough! Thank you guys for recommend this masterpieces and make our game nights fun again 😁

Happy Birthday for the forensic

Salem 1692 is also a good game for those who don't like social deduction games. It's similar in that even if you know who the bad guys (witches) are, you'll still have to find their card as proof, and this card can travel around the table turning other players into witches. At low player counts, it does have an issue with a quick win on a lucky guess.

nice review, i don't own deception but your point is very valid.. I always loved the simplicity and epic moments that deception creates

Deception may be the BEST entry-point into social deduction games out there. I even brought it to my parents' house for an after-dinner party game. They had never played a SD game before, but they loved it so much that we immediately played 3 more times that evening. Turns out that my parents are excellent liars! Which I find mildly concerning now that I think about it.....

BAD MAYOR - Still a bit sore about that Sullivan Mayor win huh, Adam? ;) I first heard of Deception through videos on this channel, hunted a copy down on eBay, and it's quickly become one of my favorite tabletop games ever! Simple enough that anyone can play it, encourages participation even for quiet players, and is just some of the absolute best deduction in any game I've played, period. My sister has turned out to be a fantastic storyteller with this game, really using the clues to paint a picture of how the crime took place! One of the best times I've had with it was during a session when Cause of Death: Accident, Location: Bedroom, and Motive: Love came up together. All players had had a few glasses of wine at this point and many jokes were made about "bedroom accident" and "BDSM" before someone pointed out that the Forensic Scientist had put down Relationship: Family and refused to remove that tile given the chance. A few more Game of Thrones jokes later, the truth slowly started to dawn - this was the story of a parent that had accidentally left something dangerous - such as cleaning alcohol - around their unattended toddler who had subsequently drunk it. What was first thought of as a slightly inebriated joke became a vividly tragic story through the power of storytelling that this game offers with a few simple tools. (Weapon: Alcohol, Clue: Teddy Bear.) A masterpiece of a game. Thank you, No Rolls Barred channel for introducing me to it!

D:MiHK is one of the first boardgames I bought when I started collecting 5 years ago and it still gets played and loved till this day. Such an amazing game that promotes interaction. Have to get the expansion someday

So the witness is like Merlin in Avalon? I love Avalon due to that mechanic so nice to see this has it too

Could you do mansions of madness next? im trying to play it with my family but I'm struggling with the rules

Really enjoying this channel and videos like this. Great work 👍🏻

I love this game! So glad to see you featuring it

That evidence board is everything, and I love it!

How have I stumbled upon and fallen in love with, this channel?

Me and the frantic scientist share a birthday! Yay!

Man this game sounds bloody fantastic!

Yes. One of my all time favorite games! Was already one of my go to games for groups of 5 to 12. And it is very easy to set up on Zoom. And can be done in 20 to 30 minutes. In fact I have Blood on the Clocktower coming at some point and don’t know if it will get much playtime as everyone I play with loves Deception.

Gotta love Adam's detective voice

the pinwall is amazing

8:02: Is that Salcedo? She is double-bad. Good call.

We are demanding for Blair’s top 10 board game video

Not sure if the rule book provides for it, but if you want to artificially add another player, you could have everyone close their eyes and make noise while the murderer sets up the clues themself

I reeeeeeeeeeally want to try this game. I also reeeeeeeeeeally lack people in my life who would also want to try this game...

You’re good at writing, I’m gonna subscribe to this channel now

Loved it!!!!! I wanna play it! And I wanna see other people play it!!!!

Great video, I have had this game on my shelf since the beginning of the Pandemic and now that people are coming out of their hiding spaces and caves again I am surely going to get this to the table, maybe even this weekend. The only piece of information I would have liked in this video is what do you think is the best player count for the game. Does it work better at the lower, the higher and the middle part of the spectrum. Still thanks for the video, I now feel ready to try it out.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂!!

Great review

Fine! I will buy it Adam!

NOT TITWHISLE! Johnny high jump is gonna be heartbroken

"FIT?" Edge's pic.

Adam, can I be your best friend? The smoking jacket for the win.

The birthday comment was perfect! (Just in case Happy Birthday on Mar 10th)

Happy number changin' day "scientist" ( ;) )

13:29 equation of photosynthesis on top of a picture of trees? What kind of crime are you investigating?

BRB, getting "Secret Wrong'un" business cards.

Just my suggestion. For continuity purposes what if the game you play in the board game club this week is the same how you play video? It might draw more people to board game club and vice versa

Can someone please make Adam saying "The killer's one of us! Have a Banana!" a tiktok sound?

I feel like this channel is mostly funding Adam's cosplaying hobby :D

Adam really putting his LAMDA qualifications to good use...

Johnny Highjump!

It's like Mysterium but with way more

The forensic scientist player may be able to tell everyone who the murderer is, but the forensic scientist character has nothing to really relevant to say except for the clues that they're finding, so keeping your mouth shut about who the killer is and not explaining exactly what you mean by a clue they misinterpreted is just good role play

The opening should have been the whole thing.

when will we get: Board Game Masterpieces Monopoly?

Tiny badge to solve a tiny crime LMAO 😂

I am sorry Adam but whatever you say.... That is what a evil player would say!

Damn FS bday is the day before mine lol

for my game group, i remove the 30s uninteruptable since we're already well... friends. we tried it with it but found it less fun. though for new groups, I play with it. then remove it. and see which is more fun for them.

I should have watched this before bored game club because I was a bit confused

It's out of stock everywhere in my country. Imma die

I played a game like this back in Ye Olde Days, it was indeed great fun. The only problem is I'm absolutely useless as an evil player: it's just not in my temperament, & folk can figure out almost immediately that I'm the murderer/werewolf/whatever 🤣

Adam how did you know that about my friends?!

Why does Adam's reporter voice sound exactly like Wade Barrett?

Awwww shit, guess I gotta pick this up immediately before it's sold out forever. edit: I caved and bought it, have had my eyes on it since pre-pandemic anyways. This just sealed the deal for post-pandemic.

Just post a link to where I can buy that robe and there will be an end to the horror.

Wasn't this guy a hall monitor in another life

Mhhh make me want to buy it 😑 😰

"cigar people are money people, right?" as a broke-ass cigar smoker, no, not necessarily

I was about to wish you a happy birthday for tantrum you threw, but I'm not going to cuz i remembered it isnt today. I'm not gonna say when it is...

Question for the NRB faithful out there, what stops, lets say a team of 4 investigators, from just guessing one at a time in the 3rd round to oust the murderer? I feel like often times in social deductions games you come down to a few limited number of selection options for who the traitor is. With that in mind what prevents the investigators from just varying up the guesses slightly to go after one or two people who have viable potential card options in front of them and just play process of elimination instead of making it a majority vote at the end of the round or game? I love SD games (Resistance, Chameleon, Secret Hitler, etc) but as lauded as this game is I have always seen this kind of huge hole in the structure of the game.

Is this the kind of game you can play with your christian 60 year old mum on christmas so you dont have to play her copy of trivial pursuit from 1993?

1k likes, i am the chosen one

Have a 🍌, indeed.

I like pretending that the forensic scientist is a ghost ala Mysterium, as to why they can just flat out tell the "detectives" who the killer is.

Adam, you have to stop. My boardgaming addiction is already too much.

I need to stop watching this series, it's putting waaaaaay too many games onto my wishlists.

The hypnotic grade philly fail because cake essentially raise below a piquant town. complex, interesting chill
