  • For this Overboard with Brennan Lee Mulligan, we played a bunch of small games - so many, in fact, that we couldn't fit them all in one episode (yes, we know that's ironic). In part one, special guest Brennan Lee Mulligan of CollegeHumor joins us for a heated game of Coup. Stay tuned for part 2, and don't forget to subscribe!

    Pat actually had an assassin when Simone went to assassinate Brennan, which makes his whole interaction at 17:00 even more wild. Pat does not have a Contessa, but still manages to make it look like he messed up and accidentally revealed his card. You can *see* the panic on his face and his entire demeanor shifts as everyone immediately pins him as having a Contessa! By simply pretending to be a bad liar (or actually being one, I legitimately cannot tell) he has put himself in position for Brennan to rely on him, and he immediately switches gears to set up the iconic "Then Perish" moment. Pat is either the best or worst liar of our entire generation, but no matter what his improv skills are insane.

    When I played this game, another player tried to assassinate me. Someone else claimed earlier that they had a contessa, so I made a deal with them to block my assassination in exchange for couping a player of their choice. They agreed, blocked the attack, were called out by the assassin player. Turns out they didn't have a contessa, so they lost that card. Assassin player then preceeded to try to kill my card, but I informed them that I was blocking it with my contessa. The called me out, I revealed I was telling the truth. Couped them the next turn and killed the guy who lied to help me with the assassin I drew to replace my contessa I was forced to show, winning the game and losing my friends at the same time. Was it worth it? Your damned right it was...

    They didn't play it wrong since they had a ton of fun and it was super entertaining, but they made several very large rules mistakes (or house ruled things they didn't mention) but for anyone watching this with the idea of learning how to play:
    1. Contessa cannot block assassinations against other players, only when the person targeted claims to have a Contessa
    2. When you "lose influence" either by being caught lying or being the target of an assassination/coup you flip over the card in front of you. It does not get shuffled back into the deck. This makes more information available as the game goes on.

I would love to see this cast return for another game or two of coup, especially Brennan, because he really adds a special element to the personalities. His duke persona was awesome, and makes it worth re-watching if only to watch the range of the other's reactions to his 'dukely' decisions. Priceless

      It was really fun but... It was so frustrating to watch because omg those rules were so wrong! That's not how you play at all...
      Check out the rules online. You can't block for other people other than yourself. Only thing you can block is foreign aid as a Duke. And when you reveal your influence card, turn it up and place it on the table. It only goes back into the deck, if you didn't lose.. So if you were called out and that influence card was true. Or if the ambassador/inquisitor tells you get rid of the card, which you shuffle back into the deck and redraw.
      If you lose your influence card because you were assassinated or called out, then you place it face up on the table to reveal what your card was. That way as the rounds go on, it's easier to start seeing who is isn't who they say they are, and who is. It's like poker where they reveal their hand, except that they are still in the game, and you use that information to figure out who is bluffing, who bluffed before and they were lying.. And so on.
      It becomes so much more of a brutal and calculating game. I love coup. I play board games with a group of friends, and we play this game all the time, normally as either a starter or casual game in between board games, before we start one of our more longer board games like agricola or caverna...

  • @artstsym
    @artstsym Před 4 lety +741

    For those considering picking this up, a few rules notes:
    1) When you lose an influence card, you flip it face up in front of you for the rest of the game instead of shuffling it back into the deck (though the way they play could make for an interesting house rule, it becomes harder to keep track of information that way).
    2) When a player is attacked (assassin or captain), no other player may use counter abilities on their behalf (contessa, ambassador, captain), though anyone may challenge the attacker (you can always challenge any claim, no matter who’s doing it or why). This is not balanced to be a game of alliances, it is a game of strict self interest combined with the occasional spite call (Simone).
    None of this is to say I found the video any less fun, but it always helps to point out errors in play when missing them can lead to a less than optimal experience for someone unfamiliar with the game.

    jenna's "as someone who is deeply familiar with someone and simone's inner workings" followed by "she nailed me!" from simone is an energy that i cannot explain nor do i feel that i want to

    And once again, Brennan was right. Personal emotion must fall to realpolitic. Pat took out Simone with fewer coins as opposed to Jenna with more because his decision was guided by emotions rather than rationale, and this dug his own grave.

    Jenna in almost every Overboard video has this energy about her that I ADORE, it's like a bisexual aunt that's taking you to the forest at 3 am. I would die for everyone on Polygon, but Jenna's on a different level.

    Man, I've watched this video like 8 times, and it never gets old. Now, to be fair, it was only able to happen because they were playing the game wrong (you aren't allowed to block on behalf of other people, only to protect yourself,) but still, I had never before seen, and have not seen since, a three-way-kingmaker scenario. This group is amazing, this game is amazing... they were meant for each other.
