Im kinda torn on getting this one or the other one

Love this comment, and the ending must be YELLED. lol

@@BoardGameCavern You're welcome. 🙂

I'm with you, Kevan! One of my favorite movies. In fact, watched it last night in preparation for our very first playthrough tomorrow (8 players!). I did leave out the flamethrower, molotov, and Final Captain vote, but I figure the rulebook will explain those things better than I. Let me know what you think of the game after playing. :)

UPDATE: We played this for the first time with 8 people on Saturday and it was a huge hit. So much fun. Even the "non-gamers" among us are still talking about it. So...recommended!

Board Game Cavern - I have had a couple groups of 5 play and we all had a blast as well. We are trying to work out a couple 8 player games now as all the player's we're excited to have another go. Seems incredibly difficult for the humans with 5 people, did any of your larger games result in the humans escaping?

Not yet. Humans have a tough challenge in the 8-player version. Really glad to hear you folks enjoyed the game. Love a good social deduction game with the right friends. :)

The Thing is my number one film! Bought this, first board game in about 30 years, and it just arrived! Love the video, it will be a great help! New subscriber from London!

I hear that. lol

It looks complex, but I'd categorize it as "mildly difficult" and that's because there are a few rules which will always mess you up.

It takes a good read through of the rules before it"s group-ready. Who won Uno?

Hey Field, thank you so much! These comments mean a lot. ;)

Yes, you're right. I messed that part up. Sorry. Thanks for watching. :)

Did you end up trying it?

Yes, you're right! I should have discarded face-up in the video. Thanks for catching that, and thanks for watching. :)

Thank you so much for the feedback. Let us know what you think once you play it.

Nice! Thanks, MA Larson. lol

Right!

haha This is hilarious. And you were able to play drunk? Guess that makes this a "party game?" ;)

@@BoardGameCavern Well in the movie Macready just wanted to go up to his cabin and get drunk (and play this board game).

Also don't you put the supply cards face down in the discard area

Cool, John. Let us know what you think after playing.

Thanks for watching, Werewolvians. 1) You are correct: the Captain wouldn't know who has a fire extinguisher, so he/she would ask the group if someone had one. Someone says they do, Cap sends them in. From the rule book: "In order to Investigate a Room with Smoke or Fire, a member of the selected Team must first discard a Fire Extinguisher Supply card, effectively ‘unlocking’ the Room. Doing so will also clear the Room of Smoke or Fire (removing the token), allowing the Investigation to continue as normal. The Captain may choose to ignore the Smoke or Fire and Investigate a different room, but in turn risk Room Destruction. Additionally, if Smoke or Fire is present in two or more Rooms, or in a Room without a Room chip (one that has already been Investigated), the Captain may send an individual player to clear the Smoke or Fire (by discarding a Fire Extinguisher to remove the token) in addition to assembling a Team for the Mission Log Investigation." 2) I'm not sure what you mean by "mission roles." On missions, the "Dice number" on the Supply cards is ignored, and only used for battle roles. While on missions, team mates will all give one Supply Card to the Captain face down. Sabotage Cards are revealed immediately, then the Captain may secretly discard one card for a new one, then he/she reveals the cards in hand to see if the Mission was successful.

Seth, you are correct. I mistakenly discarded face-up in this video. Thank you for the correction, and thanks as always for watching. :)

Board Game Cavern ah ok thanks for checking that. Very helpful video!

Really appreciate you taking the time to comment. We want to make the best videos we can for gamers like yourself. Your feedback is invaluable.

I'm not sure, but as a descendent of Norwegian parents, I approve a Norwegian version. :)

@@BoardGameCavern la terningen rulle!

@@marcoanonymous8434 LOL I translated this and now I love it. Thank you.

Check out somekind of second hand websites, i got mine for €60 (about $70).

Yes, that was my mistake. Discards should have been face down. Thanks for watching.

Haha! I had a similar reaction. Better order those wings BEFORE you start playing.

haha! You MUST play the game with this music in the background. So important to the mood that it should be included in the game itself.

lol Yes, correct.

Great question. The rulebook says 2 or 3 players, so you can choose 2 if you like. From rulebook: "4 PLAYERS: 2-3 PLAYERS (NO HUMANS LEFT BEHIND)" Found another interesting response to a similar question on BGG: boardgamegeek.com/thread/1923090/need-help-chopper-count

U gotta use the wicked wango card

This was a mistake I made in the video. Thanks for catching. Sabotage cards are resolved immediately.

Don Hawthorne the pool is shuffled under the table before the captain sees it

You'll like the first 10 minutes. But you'll LOVE the hour and a half nap you'll be taking during the rest of the film. ;)

Free choice insofar as the player gets to choose from the stack(s) with the most cards at that time. This choice mechanic is meant to spread out the three job classifications (colors) to make sure the group has an equal distribution of each color. This insures that, when it comes time for a Captain to choose a team, the Captain has enough of a certain color to fulfill the requirements on the Mission Card. Great question. My read on the rules is that the player sent to deal with smoke/fire has to leave the rec room to do so, so they did not "stay behind." They will draw back up to 5 Supply cards at the end of the turn, but will not get to discard a card a draw a new one. Penalized for doing a good deed. lol From the rulebook: "All players who left the Rec Room during the turn must draw as many Supply cards as needed to return their hand to five cards. Players who remained in the Rec Room now may discard one card and draw a new one."

I'm not sure. I hope so. Thanks for watching.

Face down. Sorry for the mistake. Thank you for watching. :)

@@BoardGameCavern surprising reply for a 4 year old video! Haha thanks for answering

I think this is obvious...

This is mentioned as a correction in the show notes. You are correct.

That's why it's for 17+

It could be for 35+; but a game s/be simple and fun, not a textbook labor!

@@SKY-jv9ue honestly agreed

Thank-you.

Like UNO, fun and simple while even people 60+ can play
