Fortunately, spaceships don't need to be aerodynamic.
Absolutely true. But inertia still matters.
They do need balanced thrust, though. Sally's ship with engines on one side would just fly in circles lol
37:30 Blair going for the very bold "None cargo with left gun" approach
I'm trying to remember where that's from... SU&SD?
Damn... A none pizza with left beef referece in 2024?
There is a non-zero chance a couple named Bob and Tim watched this and had the best day ever.
Jon timing himself out like a chastised child was incredibly sweet. Clearly the others wouldn't think he was cheating!
He timed himself out and still managed to build in all but one of the spaces, absolutely incredible
Laurie with no hat, these glasses and this jacket looks like Walter White, but too young and cheerful.
I'm just presuming here but I'm super glad he's going hatless as that seems to be something that especially young bald people often struggle with. So I love that for Laurie, and he looks so good and confident!
This was the video where Laurie became Hindenberg...
he’s so babygirl
And ginger.
You're quite right
1:51:44 don't think that disconnected engine at 11,9 went unnoticed Jon, tut tut
This drove me nuts
9:50 - ah my favourite Christmas waste song has to be "All I Want For Christmas is ²³⁵U"
I fear this joke won't get the credit it deserves, well done.
You'll get its credit from me.
Here's a mushroom cloud, a christmas dish I specially made for you!
Worldwide delivery in 30 minutes guaranteed or we’ll send you another.
" we're filming this at Christmas. It's coming out in January" he says in February. I didn't realize you lot also used the United States postal service.
Fun game mode I play with this game. (Only play with a group who have all played the standard mode)
Team up into pairs, each pair with a ship (so can go up to 8 players instead of 4)
The parts are either on the other side of the room or a different room.
Then in the team you have a runner and a builder, the runner has to run to the pile, go through them, pick one and bring it back. The builder then has to use whatever parts they are given to build the ship, they can hand the piece back if no good.
You end up with complete chaos with lots of shouting, great with children being the runners.
You can't switch roles once starting to build for that flight but can switch at the start of other flights before building begins.
The rest of the game is played as standard.
Enjoy and good luck!
I got to try that game mode! Sounds like such fun chaos!
It's rare to see Laurie lose his cool like in that third flight, what a delight that was lmao
Laurie finally learned 😂
"Commander Shepperd. " - Laurie Blake
Someone's played Mass Effect! 🚀👽💙😎
@@dgaf9843 I should go.
@@dgaf9843 Stargate Atlantis had a major Sheppard. Don't remember any trek characters by that name
Blair's last name is Sheppard so it's double funny
@@Hugh.Manatee Cadet Riley Shepard (acting lieutenant) was the helmsman on the USS Valiant in DS9. Took part in acts of sabotage/terrorism against the Federation as a member of Red Squad. Got blown up on the Valiant along with everyone else not dressed in plot armour. There's also the Shepard-class starship, with at least one blowing up (somewhere in the 1st season of Discovery).
There's also the real Alan Shepard, second person in space and fifth on the moon.
At 1:19:00 I love the 4 different levels demonstrated of playing with only 1 hand.
Jon has his arm fully behind his back.
Laurie has his arm down off the table.
Blaire has her arm just relaxing on the table.
Sully says screw the rules.
Dom was disqualified for not being able to control his zombified right hand.
I mean, technically Sullivan's not wrong. You're allowed to use two hands once you bring it back; you just can't be reaching with both hands
Great game, honestly really cool of John to correct himself even if it could've messed up the round. Top tier guys, well done
I love that you are capitalising on the Dommunist party.
Blair seems most familiar with the rules - would have been nice to see you give her a chance at leading/presenting this one. I think she'd do a good job. Perhaps an other time?
At one point she hinted that she was the owner of the game. They had just finished building ships. "You would think the owner of the game could build better" Or something to that effect.
For Blair: you don't HAVE to play with the sand timer, it's optional! I never play with it as I just find it way to stressful!
I also love the shipbuilding phase :-) There's a Print N' Play solo mode that's a lot of fun and it allows you to build at your own pace.
I'll also recommend the digital app implementation too as it's one of the few that really transcend the physical game. It's very fun, a bit silly and has the same sense of humour as found in the rulebook :-D
"I just find it way to stressful!"
That's exactly why I love the timer, lol. I love watching the other ship builders start to squirm when I flip it.
The Digital app DOES transcend the physical game, it's the best example of an actual digital version, not just a digital port.
@kaitengiri And that's fine for you!
But my mental health and blood pressure just can't handle it. It's the same for Bullet
@leoff7 Exactly!
Burgle Bros is probably the other excellent example of an app that transcends the physical game, plus it really reduces the
book-keeping required and has wonderfully thematic music :-)
I would TOTALLY vibe with the shipbuilding in this game.
The thing that makes it competitive is the timer.
I love by the last round of shipbuilding they really have just given up on the rules; you're supposed to only flip a tile over your own board, not in the middle over the pile!
That didn't last halfway into the *first* build.
Ok hear me out, much as I love all the cast, and the games you play, I can’t be the only one who wants to see a girls only game of nemesis! Blair, Tilly, Rosie, holly and molly-rose, would be brilliant
Omg yes! I second this.
I mean I would watch ANYTHING with Holly in it tbh she's so funny
Add Dom and it would become even better
Wanna see that too ❤
International Woman's Day coming soon on March 8th - perfect Day for that 🎉
@@gabesparkhall4470not girl’s only then is it 🤔
Love watching this channel and seeing all the unique games they play, actually bought a couple because of them
Yes, I bought No Thanks after watching them play. It was an instant hit with my friend group…multiple people are getting their own copies
The epidemic card is so brutal. When I teach this on flight #2 (I don't think it exists in #1) I specifically call out the card and how you have to not separate crew as a warning.
1:42:17 Laurie didn't have to dump the blue cargo in his toxic cargo hold to accommodate the red he picked up. He could have moved that blue to another empty cargo hold space.
That final game was just brilliant and worth the buildup. Pure chaos
I'm itching to see the annual Cosmic Encounter sesh. Need me some Sully the bride, Tom the tinker, and Jon the gambler. We need a Cosmic Encounter Week like make the third BGC of March an annual CE episode.
This channel needs more wholesome Laurie thirst, and if I need to be the catalyst by saying how much those glasses suit him, then you better believe I will.
Hell yeah
Posted right at my lunch break. Perfect timing guys thanks! ❤
I haven't played with the hourglass yet but it'd be quite fun. I also use the Rough Roads expansion (I have the old Anniversary Edition) to even out the game giving handicaps to experienced players. Those goal cards seem like a cool addition to the game. I'd love to have that in my version (as well as the catapults that fling resources that I believe is in that edition).
Galaxy Trucker is easily in my top 3 games of all time. I love it so much. Also love that the win condition is just to have money at the end of the game. Really adds to the light-hearted fun of the game. Vlaada's brilliant.
wow the first round vs the second one was SO different its hillarious
Look forward to these every week! Y’all keep making banger after banger.
Sully was having the time of his life.
I played this with some friends once, got overexcited and knocked the board, sending all the pieces of ship scattered over the table. I lost that one...
Great video guys! Laurie's ship on that last mission reminded me of all my FTL runs, R.I.P. all those Bobs and Tims ;(
If I might make a Recommandation, I think the game "Mlem" would work awesome with you guys it is a game where you compete for points but since you are all in the same rocket there is a bit of working together, a bit of hoping for the captain to roll well and a bit of backstabbing oh and it has SPACECATS!
Also Why can I see Laurie being the Wrex to Blairs Commander Shepard XD
Edit: aww how cute Jon was when he accidently cheated, he put himself in timeout. Also F*** I think I need this game
I feel like this game is SO prime to house rule like the monopoly series haha
Blair making Terry do so much work with the callbacks. I hope she buys her a pint.
Somehow never heard of this game before - really fun episode!
Jon Gracey in Galaxy Trucker. I haven't even started yet and I know there's going to be an epic meltdown! (Love you, Jon!)
1:21:37 look at Sully's ship, which is after he said he had finished. Then at 1:23:33, pieces 4,4 and 6,4 have swapped places!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Naughty naughty Sullivan!!!!
I caught that as well. Sully totally cheated 😄😭
i came here to say the exact same thing... naughty Sully, i thought you were better than that!!!
Happened between 1:23:08 and 1:23:33 (during Blair's inspection). On the other hand , it probably still benefited the show, as Sully's ship would have been absolutely pathetic if those parts would have been removed :D
Saw that one too. Though I often play with the house rule of *if you can easily fix a central connection error with the pieces you already have, just do that." Makes the game more fun for all. Otherwise it can be a massive handicap to lose a quarter of your ship.
I also think there may have been a time jump, so they could have discussed off screen.
I noticed that too, but they probably allowed him to swap it, cause he would've lost half his ship
There's one rule I believe you got wrong with planet cards. You don't move back in player order. It says in the rules: "Once everyone has decided whether to land, those who landed move their markers back that many empty spaces, with the player who is farthest behind moving first.". It was already like this in the 1st edition.
Fantastic as always thank you
Sully being the only one who’s not shouting while building is classic.
Love Galaxy Trucker. There is nothing better than the fun of watching your friends ships split in twain.
A note on the "Cruise Captain" title (cabins with a view of space): only cabins with a smooth side that point into a space where no component is mounted count toward the title. The central starting cabin, because it has no smooth side as all four sides have connectors, does not count toward this title. So for the end of the level 1 adventure, only Jon would get the credits instead of tying with Blair and Sully. For level 2, Sully correctly counted two, but Blair only had one and would not have tied.
Poor Sully doesn't seem his happy self
even thru the accidental cheating i gotta say jon's a gentleman for putting himself in time out, very nice way to reset
WOOOO ITS THE BEST TIME OF THE WEEK!!! ITS BOARD GAME CLUB!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
The online version of this game is pretty good (its on Steam)
I quite like Galaxy Trucker. It's quite manic and fun. Though I have noticed that the game seems to be best played (in my experience) by picking 1-2 things to focus your ship on for each round rather than trying to have a well-rounded ship. This is due to the way the game works, with a hard fail/pass threshold for various events (pirates, space stations, etc). There is no difference between having 0 weapon points and 5 if the number you need is 6, for example. Which is fine for the game to encourage, of course, nothing wrong with a game rewarding specialization over generalization. But I think it's rather unintuitive and the game doesn't really push you in that direction. You might start round 1 and think that having 3 lasers is a perfectly respectable amount of weaponry and if you do that you'll be screwed. I wish the game included a bit more guidance towards how to best design a ship in this regard.
A very quotable episode
Hail the Glorious Leader. May Dom live forever!
That was a good game and a great episode!
You’ve got to love video evidence. Roll back the tape!
Board game club as soon as I get home from work is about the best part of the worst day of every week.
1:45:10
Of course you can have multiple Bob's simultaneously! Haven't you read the Bobiverse series? 😁
The fact you all refer to ginsters pasties 🤣 when I head down south later this year I'll bring a care package of Gregg's sausage rolls and Cornish Pasty Co pasties for you all to enjoy 🤣
Been a while since I played this, but I believe that gun covers adjacent rows/columns as well as their own against large meteors. The small one I believe can't be shot. It could be different prints of the game though.
Sideways pointed lasers cover adjacent rows for sideways big meteor shooting, small meteors cannot be shot as they are far too small and you're flying a ship made of sewer pipes the tracking system is just not good for small objects. Forward and backwards pointed lasers only do the column they're in
It turns out Blair can only create good ships if it's of the romantic type
What a legendary episode lol.
The second earth in Titan AE was named Bob. Makes me happy that Laurie visited Bob.
I take some comfort in the fact that Blair suffers from the same problems in Galaxy Trucker that I do haha
I like how they're worrying about aerodynamics in the void of space lol.
This game is one of my favorite of all time!
Didn't understand a single thing about this game but still watched it and enjoyed watching them have fun
My all time favourite game.
This is by far the board game I would love to own. Now I just need friends willing to play.
I feel like Blair has been getting more and more unhinged in recent weeks😂
Chaos of Blair is a best part in the video
wow i really like laurie's new beanie
bold
In the end, Laurie's ship is all right.
"unaerodynamic" well good thing its a spaceship and not an airship then :D
This seems like a really fun game! I miss my old board gaming crew... they all moved away, and my remaining friends only do D&D. Which, don't get me wrong, I love our current Spelljammer campaign, but sometimes I'd like some variety with a board game or a card game, y'know? Sometimes I just want to build janky space trucks and race across a pirate-filled galaxy, instead of being a paladin flying on a space pirate ship across the... galaxy.... hm.
Love this game, this should be a great watch
Oooh, naughty naughty Sullivan. :) 1:21:04 he completes with an invalid engine placement, but magically when it's reviewed 1:23:37... UH OH.... whoopsie..
Blair's ship: None cargo, left gun
I haven't played Galaxy Truckers, I've read a few reviews and it's just never appealed to me (mostly because of the real time element). However, after watching you guys play it, I'm very tempted to get a copy.
It's the best game if you enjoy chaos and mutual destruction. The most fun I've ever had with my clothes on!
I never play it with the sand timer as I can't cope with the stress levels it causes! The rules do actually state that it's optional (IIRC) and you can just play based on whoever finishes their ship first.
This is like a multiplayer board game version of FTL, I absolutely love it
It occurs to me this is the exact same way you build ships in Starfield, with usually equally effective results.
1:47:55 "Not to worry, we're still flying half a ship (or less)."
Laurie didn't mention in his rules overview that you can look at the adventure cards during shipbuilding, and sure enough, no one did (in the first round, anyway).
As an owner of this game and haveing played it about 100 times you do learn how to quickly build a ship that won't fully break up even with max players. The best hints I can give you are: ever Never use a pipe junction. They do have good connectors but you are wasting a funtional space on your ship. go for shields over anything else to get full coverage and have them in the centre of the ship., Once you have shields in place batteies are the next most important to power the shileds. Only take powered engines or weapons if you have to beacause other players got to them first. They are not normally worth it., Always get both aliens if you can. An alien get you plus 2 for engine or weapon and are esier to get than actually finging two extra engines and weapons that fit and never ever put two habitation tiles adjacent to each other. If you are playing in a 4 player game you might have to do it but if you do make sure that at least your aliens are not adjacent to another habitat as is an epidemic card comes out and you have an alien adjacent to any other occupied habitat that alien is gone and youve lost 2 engine or weapon power.
My group of friends love this game but because we have gotten so good at it we now add double the nuber of cards to the trip to at least occatioanlly have one of us fall to bits.
Oh. Should also add if your playing with three or four players don't worry about open connectors as much. It's more worthwhile to have a peice with an open conecctor than have no peice. You should always fill your board.
from horrible ship in the first round to amazing ships after is wild
This video immediately made me want to play some more Star Traders: Frontiers (which is a PC game, not a board game).
Love is love, I ship the two Bobs
The game reminds me of Space Alert, which I think would really work on the channel.
Commander Shephard, what on earth have you done with the Normandy?
I love games with strategy and RNG. This looks like great.
the new dom shirt is giving me gunther ic record shirt vibes
Never bought a Tshirt faster lol
Well im happy they at least realized dom is the main character
We are at the midpoint of the video and I am suddenly thinking this is the New York to Paris car race the board game. In space.
I'm a trucker in the US. This should be interesting.
Man... When will you release Comunopoly? I really want to tor- cough play with my friends!!!
Great video idea: play Escape from Colditz
JON WE MISSED YOU
FOR THE DOM-INION
oh man did they get rid of the insurance rules in the new version? no cap to the lost parts penalty?
Hey! This was uploaded on my birthday!
Happy birthday. I'm gonna guess...26
Happy birthday!! Hope you have a lovely day! ♡
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday! 🎉
Laurie...with no hat...I don't know what to do.
Nice! A 2 hr long video.
I love this game. It's so stupid, and random.
