You know, when Adam was describing the game at the beginning I was thinking to myself, "Wow, this game seems fun and all, but wouldn't it be a lot better with some more wanking?" You can always count on No Rolls Barred to deliver us the content we deserve.

The explorers published a retelling of their journey in the best-selling book, DIAMANT: A tale of Brave Boys and Wanking Cowards.

The spiders moment makes this an all-time great episode. That and the fact that they randomly decided this game was now themed exclusively around wanking.

Looks like Adam found one last bottle of peroxide behind the sofa.

Taking a relic is the most British thing.

I like how you can tell when this video was recorded based on Adam's hair colour lmao

Adam repeatedly going too deep into the cave and dying for his greed makes this the second BGC where he’s exhibited big ‘Beni from The Mummy’ energy

Love this episode featuring the board game of Spelunking and Spunking!

Pent up all week for this episode! Happy to see it released! Such a tense exploration down the dark caves, but it all built up to the climax, what a euphoric ending! What?

Is there a solo version of this, for people who like to play with themselves?

You'd think after running into 4 traps in a row in a single cave, most explorers would be like 'Hmm, maybe we should try a different cave'. Absolutely hilarious episode, the masturbation commentary truly did improve the experience, really made me feel like I was playing with a bunch of friends. I think that's what makes BGC so special and enjoyable, it is just a bunch of friends playing some board games, speaking whatever comes to mind, nothing overly produced or artificial feeling.

1:00:02 this game official breaks Adam If only the rules said "if 2 useless rounds occur anyone called Adam wins"

the draughts worker who waves in the intro is my favorite NRB person

The dead look on Adams face at 30:21 next to Sullivan just laughing away is hysterical

21:51 absolutely killed me 😂 This story is ridiculous You can see Adam loosing it while trying to shuffle cards

I think this game has answered David Bowie's immortal question: "So where were the spiders?"

The spiders were the stars of this episode.

This episode is just adam descending into madness

Every Dom-day is a great day 😂 I love everybody on the show, but Dom genuinely makes me wheeze

ITS THE BEST TIME OF THE WEEK!!! ITS BOARD GAME CLUB!!!

Fun fact they had to upload a prerecorded video because Adam hasn’t stopped chasing Laurie around since the Charity Stream announcement video

I love this game. I still have the old Incan Gold from Gryphon Games (same game as Diamant, different publisher) and it still hits the table. Not only is Diamant very easy to teach, it doesn't take long to start feeling tense and get players involved. The game shows its magic quickly and it doesn't let up until the game is over.

43:50 is just another reason I love it when Rosie is playing.

NRB is the only channel I have notifications on for. They make the best content

Adam really was having fun playing alone in the intro lmao the man just kept going

I love how unhinged yet clever Dom is and this has been one of m fave episodes with him outside of the Cthulhu game!

Totally here for this. NRB is amazing. Can't wait for your charity stream!

"Oh, that's a rudimentary blender ... for people!" 🤣😂🤣

I do appreciate nobody actually bothering to connect the path thats clearly drawn on the pieces most of the time

53:00 I wish they’d flipped the next card just to see what Laurie’s fate would have been I was dying to know lol

For Patrons who don't have the time to watch two entire BGC's a week yet still wish to consume every bit of content NRB has to offer, I present the timestamps of the talking heads: 10:54 Sully 13:43 Dom 17:35 Brooke 17:48 Adam Above are consecutive 20:02 Laurie 21:22 Rosie 22:17 Brooke 24:11 Sully 25:36 Adam 27:59 Sully 31:53 Rose 34:24 Adam 36:34 Dom 37:57 Laurie 39:34 Adam 40:30 Dom 44:00 Rosie 45:40 Adam 51:17 Adam 55:03 Brooke 58:13 Dom

Actually, did they remove (one copy of) the trap card that got triggered each round? Together with relics increasing in value, that's how you get future rounds to be just _slightly_ less dangerous and gives room for a comeback (if you see the spider that already got triggered it's 50% less likely after all, down to 0 even if they've been triggered twice) EDIT: ah there we are in game 2

"What're you watching son?" "Just a boardgames channel I found on youtube." "Well let's take a quick look at... Now son! Son!"

Oh hey! Adam's back from his holiday. Gonna miss that cheeky black haired devil that filled in for him, I could have sworn he looked like the secret love child of Eric "ATM" Bischoff. 😂😁🤣

This game is a belter, such a brilliant laugh when played with the right group. Played the online version over Lockdown at least 1,000 times, and this wonderfully shows the tension and silliness that a fun shared experience (not wanking) can bring. I always ran away when a snake appeared, and we always played the Indiana Jones music once one person was left.

i know its a bit but adams interview at 34:24 was legitimately me as an asexual when i was still in high school. the whole video had me belly laughing though, thank you all for that

I hope they play this again.

Adam: plays a very risky game which is bound to give a few 0 gems rounds Also Adam: THE GAME HATES ME

I just wanted to say that I absolutely love NRB’s content, and I watch one or two board game clubs or blood on the clocktowers every day. These friendships are so powerful and joyous to watch for someone who doesn’t have many friends at the moment. I’m glad to be living and watching while you guys are uploading. Thanks for that.

holy shit those last two rounds were SO HUGE

I love the feature of the Cave of Sadistic Hubris at the end

Dom is just the best. This is a universal truth. Every day the fanDom grows, therefore we need a name. Any suggestions? Dom-inators, Dom-vivants, Dom-Perignons?

The least child-friendly episode for such a simple game lol.

"Incan Gold" (as it was known in a previous edition) one of my fave group games! Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a 5+ game for their group.

Thank you guys for acknowledging the Lord of the Board. Hopefully the second Lord of the Board happens soon so we can see if Brooke can keep the LotB crown or if somebody else can become the new Lord of the Board.

Current 2023 BGC statistics, manually typed and summarized because KZfaq is dumb and won't let me link to my Google Sheet: - Adam is now at a 50% win/loss ratio, with 3 wins and 3 losses. This is tied with Holly's ratio, who has 1 win and 1 loss, and Brooke's ratio, who has 2 wins and 2 losses. - Miraculously, 50% is technically the highest scores so far for any player this year! And Adam's 3 wins are the most of any player so far as well! - Tom and Tilly technically are tied for lowest success rate, having not won a single game yet, but they've also only played one game each so far. - Of the players who have played multiple games, Sullivan has the lowest success rate at about 17% (1 win against 5 losses). - The Brave Boys Club, if taken collectively, have won 6 games out of 15 man-games, giving them an overall success rate of 40%. - I didn't count the number of masturbation references in this video, but "I'll be in my tent" is now synonymous in my brain with "I'll be in my bunk". I'm guessing the rest of the crew is just trying to make the Lord of the Board crown so sticky Brooke won't want to wear it anymore; it's a messy political tactic indeed!

I think the most underrated joke in this video is "Nobody escapes the wok." in a Sean Connery accent. Brilliant.

This is the only channel i watch religiously, ever since tabletop got cancelled i have been searching for another boardgame play channel that resonates with me and this is indeed top tier content! i'm so glad to have found you guys during the pandemic!

Dom is one of the best cave ruby collectors, as opposed to a tree ruby collector , like me. im not the best, i haven't found any yet, but im the only one doing it, so i get them all to myself!

Adam and Hubris, name a more iconic duo.

I taught my 5 year old how to play this and we entertained a group of people in the lobby of a hotel during a hurricane last year

NRB Memes boutta have a field day with this one.

5 minutes in and beyond pleased to see Dom in a game like this. Tilly and Carley would be great too

Hope there’s not a Patreon special based on what happened at the campsite afterwards 😂😂😂

My only regret was that Jon Gracey wasn't here to continue his feud with Bruno

If Dom ever gets Adam to guest star on the Apocalypse Players or hosts another CoC here, it definitely needs to be spider oriented

24:11 - 24:35 - the greatest monologue of our generation. :D

Glad they brought the Lord of the board chant back, even if it was half assed😂

The fact that they're not putting the cards in anything even resembling the printed path on the art is stressing me out, though I get that you wouldn't want it to leave the frame

When the second game was half the length of the first one, I figured things wouldn’t fair well for the Brave Boys Club. 😂

Oh welcome back blond Adam

Absolutely incredible episode, the spiders moments, the masturbation camp lols, the brave boys club. Hilarious 😂

For those wondering, accounting for the fact that the deck contains 15 gem cards, 15 traps, and 5 relics to start Game 2, and the 3rd spider card along with one other trap card (and 1 relic) had been removed from the game by the start of Round 4, the odds of flipping the 2 remaining spider cards consecutively to begin Round 4 was 1/496 (0.202%). Then, once a third trap card had been removed from the deck, reducing the trap population to 12 out of 31, the chances of flipping 5 consecutive trap cards to begin Round 5 was roughly 1/215 (0.466%). And those two things happened consecutively to prevent anyone from chipping into Rosie's narrow lead. Hilarious! A very silly and light--but FUN--game.

28:05 "I knew those spiders were coming" It... wasn't the spiders >.> Wankers of the world, we need to pull together

First day of petitioning playing diplomacy at the charity stream

40:46 - When the going is good... Ruby, ruby, ruby, ruby!!

The central board should be larger or smaller. It should be exactly 2 or 3 tiles wide so the cave can just spiral around it.

lovely episode! i cannot describe how excited i got when you revealed next week's game is one night! that's already my new favorite episode, forever!! love that game!!

Dom already looks like an academic

I think this might be the funniest episode of NRB Let's Play of all time.

It physically hurts that the card's paths aren't being lined up

So this is how you develop arachnophobia... I see, very interesting. Poor Adam and all those spiders.

This might have been the best episode of BGC yet! I could not stop laughing!

That Wok N Roll pun was actually kinda funny since there’s a restaurant called there where I live.

when everyone thought Brooke said Ms. J, i immediately thought of SCP-5094, "Ms. J's Whizz Kid's Schoolhouse", a learning program inhabited by a sentient entity known as Ms. J for each collect instance, but individually, is any name starting with the letter J, such as Ms. Joy, Ms. Jenny, and Ms. Joahn. her memories are collective in each instance, so she remembers her students even from different copies of the program. all she wants is to teach kids, and somehow, she able to perfectly teach anyone, no matter how bad at learning they are, anything. And i mean anything. want a 10 to know college level knowledge on cat's biology and behavior? easy. just 3 days and they'll know everything they could possibly need to know. one of the best SCPs in my opinion, not just cuz its done really well, but also because its one of few SCPs that isnt centered on horror, or have some deadly drawback. other examples would be 999 and 500.

this is "sunk cost fallacy - the game" and I love it

Adams hair will date this well. 😊

The reaction every time there's a cave in makes me giggle with joy 😂

can’t wait for next week! my favorite board game of all time!!!

Werewolf is going to be brutal.

That’s right, you show your respect to your Lord of the Board!

I love everyone in the comments roasting Adam’s hair, get his ass 😂

loved the energy in this one :)

Those last two rounds. Speechless.

Here comes the lord, Lord of the board, Don't bore the lord Cause the lord is aboard!

Atlantis, and now Diamant? Are you guys working your way through my parents boardgame closet? If you play labyrinth next..

Just here for the algorithm…but can’t wait for werewolves! Find myself always rewatching these shorter games cause they’re easy to follow along in the background, so glad I can add another one to the collection :)

I would watch you guys play this game again. It was super fun.

This went from: NRB Presents to Indiana Jones and The Master of Bation way too quickly... *_And I'm here for it!_*

House rules: Play Diamant without any rubies-cards? Well... watch this episode!

Im a programmer watching this and all I could think was they're doing Modulus every time they have to split up the rubies amongst themselves. Modulus is a bit complicated in theory but in practice, like shown in the video it's quite easy to grasp. The divisible number is the amount of people still in the cave, the modulus number is the possible amount of gems, and the remainder, if any, is what goes on the card. I just love to see that application of math in games like this.

I MAY BE A NEW YEAR, BUT THE TRADITON OF ADAM BEING A POOR LITTLE MEOW MEOW REMAINS!

Love the bits, but OG Adam ( welcome back ) is right: TMI in that camp. Better staying in the caves. 🤣

Never seen a playthrough of this game and this makes a very nice change from all the social deduction games

Board Game Club 2023 Stats Weeks: 5 Games: 6 Adam: 3-3 Brooke: 2-2 Laurie: 2-4 Holly: 1-1 Rosie: 1-2 Dom: 1-2* Sully: 1-5 Tilly: 0-1 Tom: 0-1

What an unexpected theme to this BGC. Awesome stuff.

NRB posted the next video to showcase my next game purchase. Oh joy.

Sooooooo hyped for ONW next week 😍

Adrenaline, in my soul. Back looking like Cody Rhodes Bottle blonde and proud for us to see.
