ALIEN - Fate of the Nostromo 

BUT HAS HE EQUIPPED THE GRANADES YET?!

Ectar: It’s a small civilian ship with a single xeno aboard. Cleanse it. Justicar Iolanthus: Your will be done. Purgator Thule: I have equipped the grenades. Interceptor Storm: _begins to sweat_

"I can't lie to you about your chances... But you have my sympathies" Ash: Ships Science Officer, Nostromo

''What have you done today Dan?'' I watched an old man with a beard playing a board game by himself for an hour. ''.........oh.''

“Another glorious day in the corp. A day in the marine corp is like a day on the farm. Every meal a banquet. Every paycheck a fortune. Every formation a parade. I LOVE THE CORP!” -Sgt Apone

Imagine going to the cinema and meeting Jingles there. He might not be a household name like Tom Hanks or something but for those who like him it would be a fabulous experience.

I really enjoy this when you play a boardgame, when you could do this once in a while, that would be appreciated :)

Your place is looking really good in the background post-move. Nice ! Congrats.

From what I understand, going based off the 3-space house rule you had implemented on the Motion Tracker, you could have, on that last turn, moved into the suit storage, dropped the canister, used two actions to move into the hallway 3 spaces from the Garage, popped your motion tracker to potentially move the Alien into the Garage and been safe for the next turn... Of course I say that with the benefit of knowing which encounter card you got.

fort jingles has come along really well, very nice to see!

yes please, more of this, a great way to introduce new players into this kind of board games

I rather enjoy watching board games being played as its the best way to find out if I would enjoy it myself. And the House Rule/Screwup is a traditional part of such things. It adds to the authenticity of the experience.

As token I want to adice a D6. The dice itself moves from player to player to mark their turn and shows the initial amount and remaining action points.

I remember playing "The Awful Green Things from Outer Space," which came in a Dragon magazine issue. It was only a two player game, and the random weapon effects made for a variety of strategies and difficulties. It was definitely of the same genre of space monsters that inspired games like this one. The thing that became exhausting for me with wargaming back in that era is the amount of time that had to be spent parsing the rulebooks. The more recent comeback of board gaming is good to see. Thanks for this play through. It helps to show that the rules and game mechanics are smooth enough to make it feel like you are playing a game and enjoying time with friends.

oh I'd absolutely love to see Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps! as I'm really thinking of buying it 😊

Definitely need some form of token to confirm who's move it is, if you are playing solo, although I think part of the issue was also concentrating on commentary for the video at the same time. It's also nice to see a board game that can be completed in a "reasonable" length of time. Most board games I've played, take hours or even days to complete, expecially the more complex stratagy ones.

I would really like a live event where Jingles and Eddie play with winning Patreon contestants via vid hook up.. Those of us watching take a shot of nectar of choice every time the Alien moves.. What a HOOT... Jingles doesn't get to drink while playing, he's already too far gone and will forget the grenades again.

That was fun Jingles. Would love to see more of board games.

Jingles for 1 HOUR!! MONDAY IS SAVED!! ♥️ Its not Alien Isolation, but close enough fir government work!

44:46 it's Jonesy the cat, you take 1 morale damage!

If you remember the movie, the cat was in on it with the Alien. Whoever saw that damn cat was getting eaten (aside from Ripley)

Dear Jingles, loved the vid and personally would love to see more, thanks again for giving us this while we continue working the salt mines

It breaks things up for a nice change. Slower pace. It's also nice to see the tought process and thinking through options/consequences. Plus, the help from future editing Jingles was also a nice touch.

One hour of the Mighty Overlord playing with himself on camera... MOAR PLZ!!!!!1111oneoneeleveen

Looks like a cool board game Jingles. Minor errors aside, fun video. I suspect if you can spare the crew moral, its probably a decent idea to go fumbling around random rooms just to clear the encounter tokens while the Alien is FAR AWAY, and since the 2 motion trackers are Infinite use that helps do that if you suspect it might be dangerous.

The biggest mistake was having Brett keep equipment and have to move the furthest to meet objectives with equipment. Need to be more aggressive about reallocating equipment to the best crewmember for the job (Brett make item, give to Dallas)

So this was pretty cool Jingles. Personally I think that this would be better if when Moral reaches zero you lose a crew member and your Moral goes back up by 4 until you have no crew members left. At least when playing alone with 3 crew.

Nemesis is also an alien boardgame. If you liked this you might want to look at that aswell. It is one of my favourite boardgames of all time

Great idea Jingles! I love desk games and I really enjoyed this video. Thank you mate

I quite like these type of videos every now and then, something new into the mix is good

Its not often i sit through a 1 hour video, but I very much enjoyed this video, thank you jingles, hope to see more of this type in the future!

Please equip Thules grenades!!!!!!!

Jingles has the vital item to play a board game across the pond. A big piece of green material to cover the table. The games can now proceed.

Quite an enjoyable play through. Thanks for the demonstration.

Old man playing Boardgames. I could watch this from time to time! (But different games)

I've seen this game at the store several times, and.have always wondered how it played. Thanks for picking it up Jingles!

Really enjoyed this episode, hope there's more to follow. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

well hello there too. damn i wish i had some friends who were into this sort of thing So folks I ask you this...is that Egg with a crack in it not the most simple and yet still iconic book-cover/movie-poster ever ? yes Some are more famous and some are even more simple but nothing is as basic as this egg and as scary

I never thought board games could be exciting to watch. Love it and love the movie.

Great video Jingles. Thank you. Please do more boardgames for us. 🙂👍

Jingles board game day. i love board games and hope you'll make more

that was a really good and enjoyable video Jingles, it'd be nice to see another one of these sorts of videos at some point in the future

We have the game Battlestar Galactica and 3 of its expansions.... I'm the one who drew the short straw, and am now reading the instructions so we all can play next game night! Setup is kinda like what you went through Jingles... 3 cylon raiders here, a viper there, everyone gets crew cards, icons... ect ect ect.. oh yea, deep!! Check it out!

OK enjoyed that far more than I thought. So would be happy to see you play that again.

This was weird strange and wholly fun to watch. Not sure I'd like this to be a weekly occurrence but maybe once a month would be great. End of the month fire fight. 🤘

You did that really well. I enjoy watching board game replays. You were entertaining and explained the rules very well. Your camera angle over your shoulder made it easy to follow along and placed us right there with you. I would watch more like this in the future. Not a big fan of tanks or warships much anymore.

Mr Jingle, this is fantastic. You should do more of these videos!

Really enjoyed that video! Thank you! May have to purchase that!

That was really good Jingles. Other board game videos would certainly get a thumbs up from me!

My kid and I absolutely love the movies and I just ordered this for his Birthday solely based on this video.

The aliens game I haven’t even tried because of you plus I am a super jumpy person

Boardgames! Love them! I can recommand: co-op: - Spirit Island (be a god/spirit on a island and kill colonists) - Zombicide (zombies… survive…) - World of Warcraft boardgame Versus: - Tera Mystica (Catan/ticket to ride kind of game. Build stuff, score points) - Warhammer 40k Forbidden Stars (in the future.. there is only war. Fun with 4 players. Don’t play with friends tho… cause you will lose them). - Dune boardgame. Different ways to win, can also play solo. - Axis & Allies. Fun with 4 but don’t expect to go to bed soon… needs a lot of time. This Alien game got my interest. Looks fun. I will definitly try it. Thanks Jingles.

Amazing. As a fan of few board games (computer games are stil much better for me.), really enjoyed this. Thank you Jingles!

Kitty on the sofa hears something, looks up, hisses and runs away. Jungles notices a shadow blanket him from behind; Reads the card in his hand - "You have my sympathies".

More of this please Jingles, it was a really nice watch

Great new format Jingles!

I enjoyed this. There we are Jingles, engagement achieved ! 👽

Jingles: "Well hello there." Me: "Who are you and what have you done with the real Jingles?"

Shouldn't the completion of objectives restore some morale? You'd think it would.

This has to be the first Alien video in which Jingles didn't give up due to bowel control issues. Yes, you have my vote on including board games in the video lineup. That was at least as good as your XCom videos and the latest Warhammer series where you talk over your strategies and options, and no time was wasted on cutscenes.

25:00 Jingles forgets he never ended Dallas's turn. 42:15 Jingles decides to craft another motion tracker for unknown reasons instead of preping crew with flashlights for the inevitable alien encounters and then also forgets to remove the two scrap he used to craft it. Jingles then makes an error in judgement and instead of taking the grapple gun from Brett and using it to move the alien (2 actions) then moving to suit storage and dropping of the coolant (3 actions). 44:23 Jingles forgets the entire reason he moved Dallas to suit storage and the reason Dallas already has a coolant is because he was supposed to drop the coolant at suit storage. Then makes a further error in judgement and uses the motion tracker to needlessly reveal a conceal token which moves the alien and then forgets to refund an action for revealing the alien. Further poor judgement causes him to move Dallas instead of either taking the incinerator from Parker and using it to drive the alien back to finish out the turn and not draw an encounter or do nothing and take the moral hit on the chin and get to move both Parker and Dallas when the alien inevitably jumps them (moral is only taken once regardless of number of crew in a location). 47:25 jingles makes a minor error in judgement and needlessly crafts an incinerator instead of a prod (he is dangerously close to dead and -2 moral damage would ultimately have saved him). 50:30 Jingles makes another (this time ultimately fatal) error in judgement and chooses to move the alien to Brett instead of Dallas ensuring the alien will move to Parker when Dallas, who is next, ends his turn if Dallas is unable to use a tool to move the alien. 53:33 Jingles forgets that no actually you can use an action to take any number of items from a crew member in the same space meaning he can move Dallas to Brett (1 action), take and his incinerator and grapple (since Dallas has the most actions he will be best suited to getting into and out of the garage which is actually the most dangerous room on the ship if the alien is in the nest) while giving him the coolant take to take to suit storage on his upcoming turn (1 action), move one towards the alien and use the motion tracker (or not since you thought it was 3 instead of 2 so either 2 actions or 1 action) if the conceal is the alien incinerate it, if not, incinerate it (either way 1 action leaving you with no actions if playing properly or 1 action if using your accidental house rule). Brett drops off the coolant tank. But actually knowing/remembering the rules and making non-run-ending decisions wouldn't make for good content now would it? Keep being crap old man, we like you better that way.

Last turn you could have gone one space up, took the flamethrower flamed the alien, and moved 2 down again

your real life cat gave me a cat scare when moving in the background

This has sparked an interest. I just might have to get this to play with my fam!

This could be played across Discord, so anyone could play from where ever in the world, but Jingles would have to figure a way to determine who gets to play

This should be a new thing! Tuesday board games with jingles. Thanks for another great video jingles and I hope you have a nice week.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with trying something new, but I prefer the usual Mingles with Jingles.

I only dreamed of single player board games when I was a kid. And Alien too! Amazing! Time for round two!

I just watched an hour of video just for Jingle's sweet voice. ❤

Jingles, I was wondering if there was an option of getting morale points back from completing an objective or one point for completing two and two points for all the objectives. It would sure make me a happy crew member knowing we almost getting off that alien playground of a ship

4:45 (-ish) Scraps has also started being used in world of tanks for completing bundles for the last season of Clan Wars

I enjoyed the post enough to want to buy the game. Thanks for another great vid Jingles 😎🤘

More board game content please.

loved it jingles! and i saw both cats in background too, hidden tokens i see lol

Lots of happy little accidents you go there Jingles, I begin to see how did you win that one time :D and how you lost all others too :DDD

Actually quite impressed by our Gnome Overlord not screaming like a little a girl after encountering the Alien... Probably because of the lighting, not dark enough...

That's was fun to watch. Please do it again sometime Jingles.

Is it bad every time I hear Jingles say "shit" I get a huge laugh out of it.

Single Genestealer infestation of a Space Hulk kicks the arse of ill-prepared Imperial cannon-fodder lead by wizened old gnome. M2, recorded. Should've brought Terminator armor, storm bolters and teh Emprah's Fureh!

really enjoyed your playthrough.

Very much enjoyed this video!

Great video, fun game, Jingles!

I have to say, i never heard of this board game. But it is great you are not competing against each other but need to work together. A rare thing when it comes to board games.

I miss the days of playing Traveler with my mates.

I enjoyed this quite a lot, please do throw in some more board game playthroughs!

akuziki at the background...it was me for whole video non blink watching.

I played this with my brother and cousin right around the same time you did. I bought the game as a family present this past Christmas but were only just recently able to unbox and try it out. We almost beat it after playing twice in about an hour and a half. (By the way, I came here from the Operations Room video about the Battleship Missouri coming under missile attack during Desert Storm.)

I have a couple of gaming, movie, & creative groups of friends that we started years ago. It's a great event that we look forward to every week. Going to have to check out this game. Thx for showing this Jingles......I mean MIGHTY LORD OF THE SALT MINE!

I caught Jingles Live? Damn, Ya damn right im gonna watch this

Oh mighty overlord, it would be fun to see you and Eddie playing this 😂

is was quite cool actually, i'd personally watch more such videos

21:20 JINGLES IS CHEATING!!!

On the game, one of the special abilities for the Dallas character should be reducing morale loss when with another character, after a morale loss.

I want more Jingles playing boardgames.

Love this episode!! Board games are so awesome. Next Jingles needs to play Gloomhaven.

44:47 - Jonesy sneaks under the table.... shouldn't you take a morale hit..? 😃

I would absolutely watch you play more board games! This video was really enjoyable, great pace & very relaxing. Now if you will excuse me, i am going to go stuff a rolled-up magazine into my own mouth.

And Then There Were None - a game of the mind Miss Claythorne, a game of the mind - lol . . .

I enjoyed this, nice change. Would love to see Another Day in the Corp as that is hard to get holds of.

Oh i loved this, hope to see more like this etc
