Simone plays a jock who gains sanity and knowledge while hanging out with some kids. So she's basically Steve Harrington in Stranger Things season 2.
Does that make Brian Joyce Byers ?
she's suzzie from deltarune
@18:17 I knew who the villain was. As a team you help each other he re read the card before discarding it. She should of received 1 plus speed. You saw that and doubled checked the card then threw it back in the pile as you know others didn't understand all the cards and numbers in play. Shame on you. Shame on you.
@@sorrymybad7697 ahh ty
don't you mean... "st. eve"?
(if you haven't watched brian's stranger things ep. 1 backing track, you're missing out.)
"Uhm, hi, I'm Missy-"
_"nooo"_
*"YAYUS"*
Oh Missy you're so fine
You're so fine you blow my mind
Hey Missy!
@@MagyarGaben *Clap clap* Hey Missy!
30:38
"She just read you 30 minute meals by Rachel Ray and you crumbled"
Hailey Molina r/brandnewsentence
@@Zyra-Not-The-LOL-One agreed XD
"You're not supposed to microwave the root"
I swear I heard chrome bowled. Which is an amazing play on words. xD
32:18
"I draw my revolver"
*high-pitched voice* "holy shit"
When he started off that sentence I expected him to say "The sun is getting real low big fella."
I was hoping he would say "Im sorry Brandon but I have a fucking gun."
"Because you just tried to punch a witch. And she judo flipped you.
She parried."
and
"I draw my revolver
*high pitched little boy voice* Holy shit"
Greatest parts of the episode if I'm being honest
"She just like read you 30-minute meals by Rachael Ray and you crumpled "
BRANDON STRONG
"Brandon took personal offense to your gun"
shits got too real
31:30 and 32:18 =)
Jenna is, like, 70% Velma.
one isn't a watch.
And the beard dude sounds like shaggy
The 30% is undercuts and graphic tees.
Best part about it for me is the shirt, Vincent van Ghoul!
How they know each other, according to the back of the Traitor's Tome:
-Vivian is Missy's babysitter
-Missy is on Brandon's newspaper route
-Vivian owns a bookstore frequented by Flash's aunt
-Flash really doesn't know any of these other people why is he here
Vivian is one of those ladies who invites everyone to an event and tells them to bring whoever they want. The person who invited Flash must have bailed last minute
I played this game once. We triggered the haunt on the very first omen, I was the traitor, I shot someone and then blew up the house. Yay?
Yeah they got really far, I played once and we triggered the haunt the second time around lol
Yeah, sometimes it can be pretty quick, like the time we found some hostages, opened the door, and their panicked running took them straight down the stairs and out the front door.
Anywhere else, they'd have been running around like headless chickens and required ferrying one by one to the exit as they bounced off walls in random directions, but they had a straight shot of freedom and took it.
Others can take a long time, like the end-game haunt (actually started after placing the penultimate room tile) which led to rooms of the house falling into the void one by one.
This of course took quite some time, but to solve it we needed to perform an extensive search for various items and perform a ritual.
As the house was huge, this also took a long time.
We killed the traitor, lost a few to the void, but survived, with only three rooms remaining.
@@TheBaldrickk this is kind of why I prefer the Betrayal at Baldur's Gate haunt method more, where you roll dice equal to the number of omens in play, and you have to roll 6+ for the haunt to start. That way it's actually impossible for the haunt to start on the first or second omen, and it's more likely to start around the 4th
@@cscotch1127 They made that update in the latest version
Brutal game a grandma gets impaled by her kid friend and after that a jock comes to the room and shoots the kid in the head with a revolver.
3:28 a grandma with 42 years of age, yes
redpepper74 It’s technically possible
redpepper74 there is a lot of 42 year old grandma’s
@@redpepper74 definitely young, but like if you had a kid at or before 21, and then your kid had a kid at or before 21, then you'd be a grandparent at 42. Definitely on the young side by today's standards especially, but within the realm of possibility for sure.
This could be a movie. Mother with her 3 'adopted' children go looking for their missing father (mad man). They go to the house and everything goes bad.
I always describe Betrayal as "A horror B-movie simulator
madhatten00 and then the biological mother (the witch) comes and turns one of the kids against the others
So let me get this straight. Flash (Simone) starts with low sanity and low knowledge, but high speed. They gain lots of sanity and knowledge, watch all of their friends die, and become a frog.
Best coming of age story ever
I think Clayton forgot to tell Simone to add 1 speed for succeeding on the Debris card, which would have given her the speed she needed to have a shot at the witch instead of killing Clayton.
I saw this too! AHH!
You think he did it on purpose or didn't comprehend?
Analysis complete
Solution calulated
@@Sesshomaru474 he had no reason to do it on purpose, you're always more likely to end the game on the same team vs by yourself.

Yeah it’s like the most validating thing ever in the history of validating.
Brian: *has equinophobia*
Also Brian: You know I love horses
i LOVE how every time brian goes into character, he has to look down at his thing to remember his name and then looks back up and goes "Vivian~"
i always describe this game as “soft D&D”

Also, I hate the 'everyone against the environment' haunts, they suck the air out of the whole thing.

Missy turned into a frog and got eaten. A sad day for the animorphs.
cursed sentence
This is absolutely fabulous. It's not over-produced - so far as to feel like you're not watching a genuine experience, but it's completely legible and the production helps you follow the narrative of the show. Everyone is charming and affable, and you pick great games. Thank you for making this show!
bernummm 3:45
redpepper74 ?
You're not watching a genuine experience.
@@BartmossTV You’re fun, huh?
I love the simple fact that they wear clothes that match the colors of the miniatures. It is a simple thing that makes it easier to distinguish who they are on the board. This isn't the only game they've done that with too!
This video is haunted, at 21:40 Clayton draws a gallery but the overlaid graphic shows the gymnasium
“all my knowledge didn’t give me the ability to count” is the biggest mood for high school math students
Flash: "I have the power of God AND track team on my side!"
Everyone's mentioning the +1 speed that was missed, but there are other omissions:
1. Turn order after the haunt is revealed is always from the traitor's left. So all the heroes get a turn before the traitor.
2. You can't pick up the mandrake root and cast the spell on the same turn. So if you have the book you have to wait for it to come back to you (so everyone else including the traitor gets a turn). If you don't, I guess you can give it to whomever has the book if you have enough speed to reach them, then on their turn they can go to the witch and try to cast the spell.
The main thing I noticed was that monster movement was handled like character movement (unless they edited out the dice rolls for the monsters, but it didn't seem like it). It's supposed to be randomized how many movement points each monster gets by rolling dice equal to the monster's Speed.
Granted, I've only played Betrayal at House on the Hill about 9 times (give or take a pair) and Betrayal at Baldur's Gate once, so I don't know which all scenarios have exceptions to this particular rule...
Yeah, there's that as well. Explorers (heroes and traitor) just move their speed (remember that if you leave a room with an opponent you need an extra point of movement per opponent). For monsters roll dice equal to their speed and they get that much movement. For groups of one type of monster, roll once and apply that movement to each monster. Of course if a particular haunt has any special rules then those supersede the general rule.
So the turn order once the haunt is revealed is as follows:
1. Heroes, starting from the traitor's left and going clockwise.
2. Traitor - his own character, if it is still in the game.
3. Monsters - traitor rolls for movement for each monster or type of monster, then moves the monsters and performs other actions according to the rulebook plus any special rules.
Never heard of Betrayal at Baldur's Gate until now (probably because it's pretty new). Looks like it is similar to BaHotH but with a different setting and adjusted mechanics.
not really an omission, but when the gallery is found they showed the gymnasium tile for us
They also read out all the item cards, they're supposed to be secret
@@godthatfailed8308 that can be excused for the sake of the audience though.
Gryffindoor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherin in that order
the colors match too
Daphne, Shaggy, Velma, and Fred also in that same order
Pepperoni Slice I’m very certain that was the whole point of the comment
Nicholas Nolan lord knows they aren’t embodying those houses in that order. Maybe swap the two in the middle but besides that it’s alright
Also the replies to this comment
i'm just here for brian david gilbert: safety fan and bureaucratic wunderkind.
Please address him as such
@@ravinglunatic7773 I was just about to reply that word for word statement.
Gonna miss this sweet boy 😔
How does Simone always have the perfect expression for glancing askance toward a camera? You can tell she knows she's got it.
eataneraser she’s watched the office 69 times.
When simone turned into a frog my first thought was: Frog w/ *gun*
That frog can GET IT
When she said "Now I am TWO sane!" I legit said out loud "Two sane, two furious" and then it was said on camera just after me 🤣😂 amazing
SIMONE WAS SUPPOSED TO GAIN 1 SPEED CLAYTON
Andrew van Baarsen They forgot some more stuff, like the sanity roll for exiting the graveyard, but what you said was really, really bad!
@@ironicdutchmoonshade1394 Actually the revolving wall didn't count as moving
I love the narrative that was created here, it was like a movie!
Vivian takes her three young friends Brandon, Missy and Flash into a haunted mansion, they arm themselves with weapons, find a dog and a lunatic before a witch appears, possesses Brandon and summons a cat.
Vivian then realises Brandon is evil, attempts to shoot him but misses, she then runs but he spears her in the back and pushes her down the stairs. Missy then attempts to kill the witch to avenge Vivian but is turned into a frog, Flash finds Vivian’s body and avenges her by shooting Brandon with the revolver he finds on the floor. Flash then calls Missy the frog to try and save her but before she can reach him she is devoured by the cat at the bottom of the stairs..
Finally, Flash, alone, attempts to shoot the witch but fails, is turned into a frog and left, to presumably meet the same fate as Missy!!
One of my favorite board games. A friend of mine once dealt 12 psychic damage to a witch’s cat and rendered it catatonic (pun not intended). It took a solid 5 minutes for us to stop laughing and continue the game.
You guys should play this again! This is one of the best Overboards so far, and all the different haunts would make for really different gameplay experiences.
I'll never forget the game of this where the climax was a priest with plate armour and a holy spear battling against an immortal flesh golem in the form of a ten-year-old-boy, which was armed with a chainsaw.
Simone's dress is super cute. The hat really finishes the good look.
She is so perfect
*ruins
ya mean she looks lesbian
Or is she trans gender
at the time i'm posting the reply, the comment has 666 likes.
honestly if these eps were 3 hours long i would be thriving

"but as the name suggests, not everybody can win in betrayal. one of the players is destined to double-cross the rest and no one knows who the traitor is until the moment the haunt begins"
actually, sometimes there is no traitor, and the group just has to cooperatively perform some task while the game tries to stop them.
also, sometimes everyone becomes hostile to each other and it becomes a free-for-all of sorts.
Simone's Look. Holy shit. So good.
She is rocking that snapback!
Brian keeps reminding me of the "you know he had to do it to them" guy
i think it’s the watches
clayton does some quality character voices here
"Why do the children have weapons? Flash has no weapons. FLASH HAS ONLY THE POWER OF GOD."
There is something SO attractive and endearing about people who are this comfortable with themselves. Me, I'd be WAY too self-conscious to ever have this much fun. Perhaps it's the byproduct of being the youngest of three-brothers, idk...But, the girl in the red-dress is amazing.
Ik you posted this a year ago, but literally everyone agrees with you. I've even seen gay men gush about Simone in this cursed comment section
@@comfyspecs9058 Haha :)
Brian: You have MAX might? What is this kid doing??

“She just read you 30-minute meals by Rachel Ray and you crumbled” and then Clayton actually crumbled
Spoilery ish maybe? Sorry I didn't think about that when I first posted it!
"Does The Dog Die Dot Com? No, not today." Bless Polygon for answering my most important question tbh.
Baebadook now another important question courtesy of Malinda Kathleen Reese, did Bessie die this summer?
I just started binging today but from what I’ve gathered Clayton is Amish and the other three are gay
Idk about anybody else but Brian is hecka gay
Bold of you to assume that they're not all gay tbh
Whats amish?

@@synthster7416 this isn't even related, but what the he*k is the pattern with which replies I get notifications about? I leave a lot of comments and I'm positive they have gotten replies that CZcams isn't telling me about, but this month-old comment gets replied to and I get a notification?! I want to see the source code of whatever makes these decisions.
this is a favorite game in my family and my brother loves to play Brandon Jaspers and if something happens he always says "well that really Brandons my Jaspers" and I hate it and love it so much
Me the entire game.
Might=strength and constitution.
Speed=dexterity
Knowledge=intelligence
Sanity=wisdom.
but where’s the charisma, where’s the charisma
Gluh Brian has all of that.
Sanity is also Charisma. It's used in-game to measure your ability to persuade or overcome others via force of will.

I scrolled through, like, 600 comments & didn't see anyone else say it so I will: Simone's laugh is wonderful. 😂 3 years after the fact, but whatever. I hope you're all still doing well. ✌️
Jenna: That's going to be a flavorful haunt.
No one:
Jenna (again): That's going to be a flavorful haunt *grinning*
:D
I did a bunch of writing and design on the Betrayal: Legacy!
This game is rad and this video is rad. Thanks for play cool games and making all this stuff accessible to a wider audience.
...and I playtested the stuff Brian wrote.

MR. HAMILTON, COME IN
I CAME LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT
I was looking for this
Conceptually, I never thought I'd enjoy watching people play a board game, but ya'll do it so well! I've been looking forward to these every month!!! Well done, and thank you!
here's a tip: check out "Tabletop" on CZcams
I love all of overboard but this is the one I keep rewatching endlessly because of the sheer insanity that goes on after minute 30
A semi-cooperative game which _literally has betrayal in the name_
There was a complaint about the clippy tokens to show stats around the player character.
Yeah those things suck, there's no grip to them so the slightest knock will actually move most of the stats. What my friends and I have done is use paperclips. They're fantastic because if you use the large side, it actually perfectly circles the stats.
That's a good idea! I put a strip of tape around the edges of the character cards (tokens? pentagons? what are those called?) and it has worked perfectly for me.
Soak the clips in warm/hot water for about 20 seconds. They become more malleable and you can squeeze them to grip better. Just dry them off and ler cool before attaching.
You're a genius
Between this and Battlestar Galactica, most of our game nights end with wishing the other people dead.
Also, Jenna reached peak adorableness here.
First Flash sees the holy S, then he goes to the chapel. Religion is beautiful.
This game freakin owns bones, love playing it with friends and narrating the "story" that comes from playing it
They're dressed like the 4 Hogwarts houses
They ARE the 4 hogwarts' houses
Elisa Buscaglia they’re actually the same color as their character card
And they seem to match their characters' personalities!
Of course Clayton was the traitor, he was dressed as the Slytherin colours
Not saying anything but Brian is the most Ravenclaw person I know.
36:40 I was so sure that clayton was going to say "I pick you up in my arms, AND THROW YOU OUT THE WINDOW!
This episode in particular shows how funny Clayton is
This really makes me want to see them play DnD,,
You can check out cyberpunk red it has Simon Brian and Jenna: )
I could honestly watch an entire series with just this game, this was so good.
Jordan I second this! Could they please make this happen?
As a Gay™ I love Simone and Jenna so much
(esp w that snapback, daaaaamn Simone)
@The Jester - Fool Of Hearts both are cis, to our knowledge, and simone is openly bi. i don't think jenna has discussed her sexuality.
@@elithebicycle760 i know it's been a year but jenna's also openly bi!
anyone else distracted by brian's forearms or am i just REALLY lonely
Why not both?
@@keithklassen5320 i know this is 8 months after i posted the original comment but tbh? you're still right
I’m distracted by Brian in general.
A strong mood, but yeah its probably both for all of us
i'm a lesbian and this is still a mood
I want to say Overboard is my favorite Polygon series but there’s so many good ones that I can’t choose at all.
"You don't deserve good omens!"
You're absolutely right. None of us deserve the masterpiece that is Neil and Sir Terry's Good Omens.
This game looks so fun (and complicated!). Also, I love Simone's dress :)
simone's "i'm on the track team bitch" gives me so much life
My favorite haunt was in the first edition, where the house turns into a spaceship and you have to bring it home.
39:30 Madman: "Yo, this is crazy. Even for ME!" 😝
Simone is somehow rocking that sideways snapback + dress look.
Flash is the incarnation of "I have the power of God and anime on my side."
In the future, when you roll multiple dice, could you put the total on the screen? It's hard to quickly read. Brian did a good job announcing a lot of totals, though
Brian's smile is just so soft, idk what to tell you.
simone's outfit is the epitome of gay culture
Max Homstad that's the bisexualest outfit I have seen since I put my clothes on this morning
Bi-Icon Simone
How would yall feel if someone came up to you and said "wow you're so straight. Your just the epitome of straight culture"

This is one of my favorite games of all time. It's simple yet I seem to learn something every time I play thanks to the randomness and variety of the cards and tiles
My husband and I love this game. No joke, we've somehow played the werewolf scenario 3 times in a row.
Joshua Sisco you’re supposed to either skip and keep doing pre-haunt or pick the next haunt instead
ah, back in Brian's pre-stached 'soft weird Polygon Twink' phase

"I love horses" seems to take on a different meaning when said by bdg.
simone's gripes with those fucking clips are so valid. nobody that i play this game with wants to use them. we all write our stats down on paper instead.

I LOVE this game SO MUCH! Takes a while to explain the rules, but so worth it! Would definitely recommend it for a game night.
I saw that sneaky Hamilton reference you made there (41:45)
Can somebody please make an animation of this? I just want to see the whole fight between Vivian, Brandon, and Flash.
I love this series. It's one of my save-for-a-lousy-day episodes. That said, why is Brian wearing two watches?
Rich Roberts One is to give to a friend in need, as the prophecy tells
So when he punches someone they get clocked twice.
Not 100% sure if this is true (I read it in the comments of another video) but his girlfriend is from the uk and one of the watches is on NYC time, the other is on UK time so he doesn’t accidentally call her in the middle of the night and it’s all very cute
21:40
Clayton: "Into the gallery..."
*shows gymnasium*
I have such nostalgic memories for this game! When I was in middle school I went on an over night trip to a science competition and my friends and I set up on the floor and played till one am. Our teacher had to come over and tell us to be quiet cause we were laughing too loud 😂
