Every time Snake Tom opens his mouth, the good team looses 30 seconds. He was deliberately rambling justenough to eatclock, but not enough to get caught. Brilliant Mate.

"I have never seen a mongoose lie in my life. And today hasn't changed that experience." With all the wacky personalities of BGC, Tom's dry delivery is always the bit that pulls the largest laughs out of me.

“1834, I was there.” I can believe it; if any of them are secretly an immortal, it is definitely Tom.

43:57 - Here you go Laurie: The bird's nests used for this soup are not simply found in trees, abandoned by their owners. These edible bird’s nests belong to the swiftlet, a small bird usually found in Southeast Asia. The swiftlet lives in dark caves and, similar to bats, use echolocation to move around. Instead of twigs and straw, however, the swiftlet makes its nest from strands of its own gummy saliva, which is produced by the glands under the tongue. The nest then hardens when exposed to air. The structure is quite impressive, a tightly woven hammock-like formation, made of strong threads that can be white, yellow, or red. The nest is secured to the rock wall in the cave, and therefore can be challenging to remove. Some of the processes of harvesting nests are extremely dangerous. The nests are usually located at the top of caves and the nest collector has to use a very narrow, shaky, and long wooden ladder which they climb on top of to reach the nests. Because this is so dangerous, many nest collectors have lost their lives. In addition to people spending a lot of money on bird's nest soup, there is another aspect of this dish that causes controversy: Swiftlets are an endangered species, and the more nests that are consumed, the closer swiftlets head toward extinction.

Blair: Makes a solid argument as to why a fact is wrong while being the Mongoose of Truth. Blair: Proves her argument with empirical testing within the allotted time of the round. Her team: Somehow still picks another option. What. xD Oh well, she still got the well-deserved win. It's a streak!

I'm with Blair. I'm terrible at social deduction games, but this game appeals to my ability to spin a crazy story about random trivia.

We loved this SO MUCH! Glad you all had fun and sorry about the mongoose curse...

“Where the first rule of board game club is: Trust in me.” A Jungle Book reference from Kaa the Snake?! Adam, you sly devil.

Part of the reason there are 421 (I believe) words for various types of snow in Scotland is because the geography meant a lot of isolated communities with various cultural origins (Gaelic in the West, Norse in the North, Welsh in South-East, even some Low Countries stuff in the East), plus you have "tambuu" languages among fishing communities with their own words. Hence how we have an absolutely bewildering number of words, from scowtherin to flindrikin to glush to unbrak.

I feel like Tom’s mind is some kind of eldritch hellscape and all of his little camera moment quips give us tiny peeks into it

Yes it's 3am in Australia, yes I'm going to watch this full Board Game Club episode right now.

I love how in that very first round, the snakes advocated for the correct answer, and everyone else just kept misleading away from the answer. It was actually confusing and I had to double check who was actually "innocent" that round.

now I want an extremely cryptic "Fridge Con 1834: Keep it cold!" shirt

Poor Blair. Nobody believed her when she was completely right and showing proof. 😂

Off the top of my head, bird's nest soup is made from swiftlet's nest that they make from their own dried saliva.

Tom's idea of men's hearts beating faster because they're bigger is interesting. Because you've got Hummingbirds with a heart rate of 1000 BPM and whales with a BPM of 33. If you're big, your heart doesn't beat faster, it beats harder

Sully: "There are not that many Inuits in Greenland" Meanwhile, Greenlandic population: 88.9% Inuit.

Sketch idea: the slow decent into madness when the host gets last in every game

Didnt think it was a possible to get a "SULLIVANNNNN" moment as early as "before the video starts." Sock sullivan never had these problems.

After the first round Jon: “I’m sure I’ll only be mongoose once” I guess we’ll see about that

"not afraid of heights but becomes afraid because of a physical condition" regrettably in that category - i loved heights so much and then the vertigo got me... now it's from rationally being afraid of losing my balance when my legs starts shaking and i get dizzy.

Jon: I’m sure I won’t be mongoose again. The game: Promise?

Remember guys: trust the meta. Adam is always evil.

"You haven't got a leg to stand on, snakes"

There are so many Jake the Snake Roberts references to be made... but instead I'll just say thank you for all of the incredible work you all are doing. Always a highlight for my week. Keep up the great work y'all!

"I LOVE board games" Man sock puppet Sullivan really rubbed off on flesh Sullivan

I'm so used to people not knowing game history that when Adam gave the exact right answer about whether go or backgammon were older I was a bit surprised, but then I remembered what channel I'm watching.

I always perk up whenever a new epsisode of Board game club pop up on my notifications. Legitimately my favorite Channel on KZfaq.

Tom's expression as he mouthed "Get on board" SENT me lol

9:00 Hi Star Wars Nerd here. R2D2 wins by a landslide if you think about it. He's in the entire movie consistently, whereas Obiwan is introduced over halfway in the movie and dies. Vader's scenes are iconic, but few and far inbetween. R2 D2 is the first character we meet in the film, even before Luke, we follow him and C3-P0 throughout most the movie and even when the heroes do take center stage, they have a lot of scenes, like helping stop the trash compactor or R2 flying with Luke during the Death Star Battle.

_That cheeky f'n robot has probably the most Screen Time than _*_Anyone_*_ else in Star Wars!_

Cheer up, Adam. In the finest TableTop tradition, the host absolutely goes down in flames on his own show. Wil Wheaton would understand.

This video has convinced me to buy this game; trivia with social deduction sounds like it would suit my family/friends really well

I had to look that up because I thought they were playing loose with the term refrigerator, but no, 1834 was the first vapor-compression refrigerating system.

"I hate lying. But, I think it's easier when I'm not lying about who I am and I'm just lying on a fact. Because yeah, I get to just spew nonsense and hope that other people will join in!" - Totally agree with that statement. Going about life lying about who you are is lying to yourself.

This seems like a really fun trivia game since it takes away the shit feeling of "I don't know what this topic even is so I'm useless" that inevitably happens in other trivia games.

32:25 i just noticed that Laurie tried to weigh his own head💀💀💀 Lmao

I hated that which is heaviest brain, lungs or heart question Me (a fool)- ‘that’s harsh for the snakes because it’s obviously lungs’ Answer is- Brain Everyone- that was harsh on the snakes everyone knows that

My favorite part of this episode is Jon pointing the mongoose at people and directing the discussion in the third round!

I have watched dozens of these videos by now and hand to god I didn't know Blair wasn't British until you explicitly said it. Whenever I watch Brits my brain just starts turning everything into a British accent until I can no longer tell who has what accent (including my own inner monologue) so I fully thought Blair had a British accent. 100%. I am American. I can't recognize my own fellow countrywoman. Why am I like this??

Blair proves her point using observable examples and a table full of men go, "Nah, don't think so." A more perfect metaphor doesn't exist.🤣

I love playing this game, every time there's an animal question (not sure if the Swedish version has different questions) it's so easy for me to get points, regardless of which team I'm on. If I'm not a snake, I just day the right answer, but if I am a snake, I already know the answer and can make one of the wrong ones sound like the right one. When your ASD hobbies pay off 👍

Man, Blair absolutely dominated this. This is one of the most impressive performances I’ve seen.

Tom says "the brain is dense". If anyone else had said this, the whole table would have said "YOUR BRAIN IS DENSE!"

All hail Blair, queen of snakes 🐍🐍🐍

4:30 A funny thing always happens in hidden role games when you have to close and open your eyes. Everyone who has opened their eyes in secret exaggerate when opening their eyes for the 'first time'.

I wasn't sure about this game on the previous NRB trivia video, but this game is absolutely great when you see it played.

11:57 Is it literally just me that knew this piece of obscure knowledge - absolutely no clue how as I'm not Scottish but it was in my brain having for some reason been deemed better knowledge to have than what I need for my exams

one week the safe will be empty and all we will see is sock puppet sully with a tummy sword

I love this series, It reminds me so much of Wil Wheaton's Tabletop on Geek and Sundry.

When they were talking about the oldest board game, I thought that Go was Red Light, Green Light for some reason and I was like "well that MUST be older, it's not even a board game!" lmaoo

If I remember I'm gonna post this every Board Game Club night. 😁 You guys playing Mansions of Madness and Role Playing your characters. I'm sure Adam will get the kick out of that, maybe with costumes too!

Scotland was the obvious answer for question 3 after the table discussion. No snakes at the table tried at all to steer anyone away from Greenland or Norway. Everyone on the table was kinda happy with going with one of those answers.

Yeah, my day is now complete. Tuesday mornings now start with NRB.

Tuesdays are becoming my favorite day of the week because of Board Game Club 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

As a Jeremy Brett Holmes fan I would die on the Sherlock hill. No snakes dragging me away

Oh great thanks. Now I want that game too.

I just googled bird nest soup. 30 years on this planet and never heard this before now lol

Love that NRB theme song!

Have none of you ever seen the David Attenbrough documentary where he shows you the birds and talks about bird's nest soup being one of the most expensive items in the world?! It's David!!!

"I'm not bad at games" Adam protests, as he sits sulking in last place with a "this is fine"

I feel like this video kind of exemplifies the clear problem with this game of: if you dont know the answer then you just give free points to the snakes since they can most time just sit an say nothing and still win, but if you do know the answer then the games premise becomes worthless since you already know.

I am loving these live BGC eps so much! Nice going everyone.

After a few videos I'm still very in love with the board game table

! i finally got a a reference joke! look at the cheese!!!

I’m so excited Sully is on the thumbnail!!!

I feel like that card was just Incorrect. I’m certain I’ve heard that GO is the oldest game. What a bunch of witchcraft!

I'm starting to get old TableTop Wil Wheaton vibes from Adam being the big loser lately and I love it

the scotland one was easy to me like from what i know about their language there are Lots of different words for the same thing a lot/different words for slight differences in a thing

After a quick google search, birds nest soup is made out of a bird’s nest that is made out of solidified saliva. It is apparently very tasteful and rich in protein.

Jon 'The Mongoose' Gracey

These people feel like my friends.. the only friends who will play boardgames with me..

Blair runs this game like its nothing

I didn't know Blair was a Super Saiyan.

NRB is the most wholesome community......

Sully’s Blair impression sounds an awful lot like sock Sullivan…

I feel like you need a biggest loser trophy for whoever has the fewest points.... Because it's the only way Adam can win anything. XD

That last question was a genius play.

Blair is the Mongoose: Think its A, makes a case for it Adam: Isn't sure if the Answer is A, goes to question it Blair: Shut up snake, shuts him down Also Blair (when Adam didn't vote for A): I don't know why they didn't vote with me

Thank you for being a highlight of my week

Once again we love sully he’s adorable

About 14:00 just in case no one else has mentioned it, Sully's claim that "there aren't that many inuits in Greenland" is not true: close to 90% of the island's population are inuit (it's my impression that the Danish people there are typically either teachers, employed in the turism or transport sectors, or scientific researchers). Also, Greenland is actually green - in the summer months! Think lush green hills and valleys justaposed with not yet melted snow and rocky landscapes upon which the towns are built. The icecap isn't green, obviously, but there's a surprising amount of grassland for a country which is most often depicted by icebergs and polar bears.

I would argue that Go question was incorrect.

Though l'm going to stop doing this for current videos as they've decided to integrate the talking heads into the uncut versions, I've decided to go through the entire playlist in chronological order, for Patrons taking a walk down memory lane I present the timestamps of the talking heads: 7:14 Sully 7:32 Jon ☝️☝️ Consecutive 10:44 Blair 11:38 Jon 15:15 Jon 15:31 Tom ☝️☝️ Consecutive 17:34 Laurie 18:40 Adam 19:48 cutaway swoosh (funny to me) 21:42 Laurie 26:09 Adam 27:52 Blair 31:03 Laurie 36:23 Blair 36:46 Sullivan ☝️☝️ Consecutive 39:08 cutaway swoosh again 39:16 Adam 39:32 Tom ☝️☝️ Consecutive 40:46 Tom 41:06 Jon ☝️☝️ Consecutive 43:33 Laurie 45:08 Blair 45:25 Adam ☝️☝️ Consecutive

Oh boy I just love me some GameBoard Club

For the record - my thumb is not the same length as my nose.

26:22 Oh no, Adam. That is not a soundbite you want on the internet!

Sully is the B-est!

Ngl, this game looks ace

Tom, You cheeky bastard

25:08 Tom confirms that he is indeed a vampire

52 seconds since the video dropped let’s go. Love some board game club ❤️

32:47 John saying that the snakes didn't have a leg to stand on. Did this comment just pass everyone by or is it just me that found this funny?

Loved to see you guys play Blood Rage or Horrified

the way no one believed blair with the anatomy questions even though they could clearly see the proof 😭😭 exactly how it feels to be the only woman at the table hahhahajk

For those who are wondering, it's swallow's nests, and they're expensive because they are extremely difficult to collect.

I really wanna see you guys play Chamelion

For the most common phobia, it could have been pointed out that sharp, pointy things have been around for the entirety of our evolutionary history, too. A needle is similar enough to a long, pointy tooth or claw that it could have been a valid competing argument. You could go even further by going further back in time to whatever ancestors we had that lived in the trees, since they likely climbed high to get away from the scary, needle like teeth or claws of predators, overcoming the lesser fear of height.

About the phobias question, a good counter point would be that, because heights have been a thing for longer, the human species had more time to get used to it, and since needles and flying are "newer fears" it would be believable humans fear it more
