Deception: Murder in Hong Kong (Game the Game) 

Paula's catchphrase should've been "I am the witness, and you can trust me, because I'm being very obvious about it."

For those who kinda wanna play along, skip to 10:38 to not know who the murderer, accomplice, or witness are

At 3:53 she says the Forensic Scientist will point first to the Murderer and then to the Accomplice, but the rules say they are pointed at together. Basically the witness is not supposed to know who's the Murderer and who's the Accomplice between the 2

From the Witness description - "They have no way of knowing which is the Murderer and which is the accomplice and they do not know how the crime was committed"

Paula gave herself away immediately

Also, I think it is clearer in Chinese of what everything means, because the phrase 畸形 can only mean that person is borned disfigured, but the word disfigured can mean both after the murder or that person was borned disfigured

Lol, Witness was pretty obvious. 3 people keep guessing and only one is consistently spot on, XD

At 21:29 you said "And technically you can pull Location [of Crime] or Cause of Death" Though the rules say "The Forensic Scientist draws a new tile from the draw pile. This tile replaces one of the previously used Scene tiles except "Location of Crime" and "Cause of Death". This is one of the things you do differently from the rules that may affect your games in the future.

I saw this at my LGS the other day. Looks cool! I would love to see this played with 12 people though.

I love how this game makes stories of murder. The classic mean girl sulfuric acid face disfigurement.

This is a really fun game. I played with some friends for the first time and actually won as a witness! I nudged them to find the murderer and accomplice and I didn't get killed! Haha. Thanks for the vid!

I love that dinosaur dress!

why the hell would he remove disfigured... it's fricken acid.

"Is it Becca with the radiation or Becca with the hook?" Neither, it's [Becca] with the good hair.

With my group we always leave out the witness and the murderer can pick 2 cards from any group (2 cards have to be in the same group though). A lot more fun and challenging.

Why on earth did Erik get rid of the disfigured clue? It seemed more obvious to eliminate the location as everyone was getting too tied up on that, not sure what the other cards have as possibilities (relationship wouldn't have helped point to glue I guess) but disfigured was ideal for reinforcing the acid.

Becca did a very good job explaining the rules of the game, and it was very fun to watch the playthrough. I like this format much more than Tabletop's, because it has a better flow to it. First, a complete rules explanation and then just the game being played. What I didn't like so much about Tabletop (still a fan) was that it was heavily edited and the camera kept going away from the table and into the players monologues too much. Very good job, looking forward to watching more of the series!

You can create a link in the info card to the previous videos on how to play rather than reiterating it in the actual game. This creates more unique content and also gets right to the action

Happy Birthday\Belated Birthday Becca!!!!!!! Keep up the great work.

Paula introduced me to the great Zeus School RU-vid channel the first time she was on here, and this is the 3rd time i remember her being on here. Paula is always the so entertaining!

During the very first Evidence Collection Phase, the Forensic Scientist should have had all six clue cards laid out first before placing any bullet markers. Then he could decide the order of which clue is given and the manner of how each clue is given (e.g., length of time taken for thinking before placing a marker) to strategically give hints to the investigators. The discussion may start as soon as the first marker was placed. The forensic scientist could therefore give clues by placing the subsequent markers strategically to steer the discussion direction.

Como eu amo ser um geek ❤

Rules wrong. You don't say who the murderer and accomplice is to the witness. You point to both and don't say anything..

I... I... don't have 3 friends...

Great show! Really bring the game to life. Fair play Becca + co!

Woohoo Murder Mystery game! Good luck and may the best villain or hero win!

Makes me miss TableTop... Aaand now I´m sad

Best show on geek and sundry.

Happy bday Becca!

Well I am from Hong Kong and we eat take outs pretty often cause it's cheap in Hong Kong Just saying

happy birth day Beca!

This is one of my favourite go to party games!

So many misconceptions about sulfuric acid... First, acid is not poison. It's just not. Second, what school would ever have sulfuric acid?? That's insane!

awfully similar to a game i remember from summer camp called mafia, it was just played with a few cards from a regular deck of playing cards. it was always a lot of fun,

10:21 That's wrong. The Witness is supposed to know who the Murderer and Accomplice are, but NOT WHICH ONE IS WHICH. He pointed to the murderer while saying they're the murderer, etc. Oops!

To me this is a spiced up game of mafia. The game seems great but I think I'll stick to the good old mafia variants that I came up with my friends as kids. I would never betray my childhood accomplishments.

RIP TableTop, I guess?

Thank you so much. This video is really helpful :)

So this a mash-up of Clue and Resistance?

This is a board game version of the awesome group game "Mafia."

Did anyone else notice that the signature at 22:57 is Barack Obama's??

Erik... didn't he do backyard fxs?

Happy birthday Becca :)

you are the best Becca

Scott's vest is spot on. How does one garment meet standards for both Hong Kong club wear /and/ steam punk?

The woman in the denim jacket with glasses/bangs looks like Jessica Day (Zooey Deschanel's character in New Girl) I'm sure she gets that a lot!

*ERIK "BFX" BECK!?! His channel (Indy Mogul) was one of the first channels that I regularly followed and watched.*

got this game and it's amazing, always have a great time whenever I play it with friends.

omg I own that let's summon demons t-shirt and it's my fave!

Happy Birthday

Great video!

17:57 What was Becca Scott doing?

This game seems really stacked against the murderer.

Murder Weapon: Sulfuric Acid Clue: Glue Forensic Scientist Cause of Death: Poisoning (chosen) Doesn't really fit the murder weapon and is very vague, can be applied easily to others. Severe Injury (better). Location of Crime: School (chosen) Probably the best option. Does point at glue. Victim's Build: Disfigured (chosen) This was also very good. Suggests the sulfuric acid. Motive of Crime: Jealousy (chosen) Lots of good options, including this one. Only money and power would have been bad. Time of Death: Noon (chosen) A good choice. Likely equal with morning and afternoon since location is school. In Progress: Relaxation (chosen) Nothing clearly stands out as a clear choice here. Like assembly and visit could have worked as well. I think the major mistake by the Forensic Scientist was selecting Poisoning for cause of death (again, fits too many others and acid is generally not considered a poison...it's an acid), then not swapping it out when it was clear many folks were jumping poison to accuse everybody. Especially don't swap out disfigured. Social Relationship: Colleagues (chosen) An OK choice. For sulfuric acid, I think Lovers would have been better. You've already got jealousy, so why not play into that. Rarely do colleagues use acid to attack a colleague of which they are jealous. If the motive was hatred, maybe. But only a slight misplay. Not removing poisoning, which was confusing many folks was a mistake. Pulling relaxation was good, since it moves away from puzzle being an option. But the one with the puzzle was the only investigator that wasn't a witness, so not needed. Corpse Condition: Decayed (chosen) An OK choice, but to me points strongly at radiation. Incomplete might have been better and would point strongly to sulfuric acid. I know only being an observer and not under any pressure or time constraints makes me think I could do better. The hardest role in this game seems to be the forensic scientist since they have to listen to what people are using to connect weapons and clues and swap things out to de-emphasize the red herrings.

Happy b-day Becca :b

Happy Birthday!!!

happy birthday!!!

I saw Erik Beck and clicked.

Where's the Mountains of Madness episode that's mentioned? I'd love to watch it

this reminds me of werewolves of millers hollow

happy birthday!

Oh look, my cousin Johnny is on GnS. Neat.

Becca, the accomplice should make the guess and throw it at the murderer (Pisha) but choose the wrong items to get the real investigators off the trails.

Can't replace location or cause of death tiles.

I thought only the investigators can guess who the murderer is.

ERIC BECK?? FROM BACKYARD FX?? INDY MODUL??

Take a shot every time they say the word "disfigured"

Is it allowed for the forensic scientist to be so slow in adding the clues? That kinda makes it obvious which clues are the most certain ones and which are less relevant.

3:24 Someone has been reading the Dresden Files I see!

Resistance is far superior. The episode of Table Top featuring it was its very best.

So this is the new Tabletop show I see?!

Wait. Did we have a Dresden Files reference in this episode?

That was a great game but quite the bad example, as the witness was extremely obvious and the others were too oblivious.

Hey, it's the original backyard FX guy

it's like a longer version of The Resistance: Avalon

"Get more friends " 😭

Fun group to watch but if you don’t show us the secret information, we can guess along with the investigators instead of knowing who done it, and how, from the start.

Becca is gorgeous!

1:15 something adds up here and I don’t like it.

Fun fact: the “signature” card has Barack Obama’s signature on it.

How do you know when a round is over? How many rounds are played in total? And can all the badges be spent in any round?

How is sulfuric acid poisoning lol

We don’t know who the murder is yet, -me it’s Paula

This seems very unbalanced in favor of the murderer. The investigators have to guess their identity (1 in 5) and 2 items, while even if they are caught, the murderer just has one in three chances of winning by pure luck guessing at the witness (even asides any chance of actually individuating them during the game).

Why does the signature look like Obama's?

And here's another episode of "Where's Will Wheaton?!"

Trying, but just can't deal with Becca's "Disney channel host" delivery... Maybe I'm not the intended demographic.

There is something kind of depressing seeing a woman as foxy and expressive as becca scott. im locked out

"I FeeL LikE I DiD a GoOd JoB!"

Shouldn't the witness only know the murderer, not the accomplice?

I feel like him being "too good" of a murderer would have made for a better episode. Were some of the other players just too butt-hurt?

Where can I find Paula’s socmed

Not a patch on Table Top...

i swear these people are cartoon characters xD

It just isn’t wil Weaton....

I can't even handle how beautiful Becca is.

BOB THE SKULLLL

Paula was a terrible witness.

I'm glad this is here to help teach the game but MY GOD the people on Geek & Sundry are absolutely insufferable.

Whoever was responsible for scanning the cards to be used as graphics needs to go back to scanning school.
