Frogger - The Board Game | Ashens & Guru Larry 

0:50 "The water is acid." Ah, so after all these years, we finally find out that Frogger takes place in Flint, MI.

Still waiting for Hollywood to make a multi million dollar movie of Frogger. When it happens (one day it will, you'll see) I hope it's in live action, no cheating with Toy Story CGI. I want a guy in frog outfit and everything.

You CHEATED again Larry! 17:07 you rolled a 1 and moved your frog down a space. Then your suspiciously convenient nose bleed created sufficient distraction to poor Stuart who continued to allow you to take an extra 1 move after your intermission at 17:50. Caught red handed, or should I say red nosed.

The logical progression of this crossover is Guru Larry, Ashens, and Yahtzee play Dungeons & Dragons.

Don't worry about the tangents, Larry, I could listen to you for hours.

I unrealistically hope you two never run out of old video-board-games.

You two need to do way more of these. Love your content Larry, but the board game stuff is great to even just listen to. Cheers for bringing another one out!

singular of dice is die. if the game has one cube, it's a die, however the action of throwing one cube is called throwing the dice.

Maybe it’s not that the frog dies in water, but that after dodging a bunch of stuff, when he jumps into water he’s like ”Screw this, I’m going downstream!”.

5 Minutes in and you haven't even opened the box. What is this, an Ashens review?

18:22, you let him move twice. He moved one before the bloody nose, but you let him move again after.

Solidified water, or as we call it in the trade "ice". And "Why is this bacon so cold??" Are two of the greatest quotes created by Ashens and his posse

I think Chris Packham argued that too many resources were going towards the conservation of pandas, at the expense of numerous other equally endangered species, simply because they're cute. Although your idea of him simply being misanthrope with a hate-boner for bears is funnier.

Thanks for posting the full playthrough. I know most viewers can only pay attention for 200ms, but personally when I sit down to watch two men playing 30 year old childrens board games, I wanna watch the whole thing. :) Also, good job on using the nosebleed as a diversion to get an extra roll Larry. ;)

It is bothering me way more than it should that the board's folding line isn't in the center...

"Chemicals in the water are turning the friggin' frogs gay!"

For those curious, Terry's fingers were bitten off by an otter. :)

FINALLY ANOTHER ASHENS GURU COLLAB!!!!!

"Breathe underwater" Frogs don't have gills, they cannot do this. Frogs are not fully amphibious creatures, being obligate water-dwellers as infants and becoming obligate air breathers as adults.

Frogs have lungs, they cant breathe underwater. They have gills as tagpoles but lose them as they grow up

Ashens mentioning the frog horror film just reminds me of all those b movies about random killer things, tomatoes, whales, mice, spiders, leaves. All they would do is cut between a video of spiders and screaming people running away and they would do that with a never ending list of bizarre things.

Great reference with the "Intermission", I can imagine most people would get it.

I wish I could talk about a box for that long.

Konami's 1981 arcade smash Frogger became the first videogame turned into a board game when the upright cabinet and the table-top variation appeared in the same year. In the spin-off, players had to navigate three frogs to the opposite side of the board using the numbers shown on the 6-ixed dice. It was one of a number of videogame-inspired board games created by Milton Bradley Games. Others included Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man. Donkey Kong, Zaxxon, Berzerk, Defender II, Centipede, Jungle Hunt, Pitfall!, Turbo, Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Tetris, Sonic the Hedgehog, Street Fighter II, Donkey Kong Country, and Pokémon Master Trainer III.

hey you

i had this a wee kid but came with a spider inside

I wish I lived close enough to my fellow youtubers to do collabs with.

Fight me Stuart.

Frogs cannot breathe underwater, they require air to breathe. Tadpoles have gills for breathing underwater but these are lost when they mature into frogs.

"An excellent crossover."

I think the river is full of hungry piranhas that eat the frogs the moment they touch the water.

Stuart: Who's going to build a motorway in the middle of a swamp, that's a really bad idea isn't it? Larry: A bit like Outrun where they build a motorway next to the sea, I can't think of anything bad happening there. The Dutch: We're going to build an entire country in the swamp next to the sea.

As MatPat theorised when he covered the video game a few years ago - Frogger is an Aussie Rainforest TREE Frog, not a bog-standard (heh) one like around ponds and rivers.

Oh, the lols when the "British Teeth" ad popped up in the middle of this video. I thought it was in bad taste before, but on this vid it's hilarious.

larry and ashens improving old 80's gamse that no one had or has seen ever

Just picturing this board being populated by janky Christmas cracker frogs... especially orange ones! GG

Two of my fave RU-vidrs! Can't believe you two live near each other.

I figured that frogger dies when he jumps in the water because there's alligators in the water that want to eat him. that's why instead, he has to jump across their backs into the frog berths. and then sometimes a lady frog appears in one and he gets bonus points for mating with her. . .

Milton Bradley died in 1911, so you chaps'll have to go back a bit farther.

Can we just have an hour long video of Stuart and Larry making jokes and laughing at each other?

Another extra rule the game should have: once a frog has landed on a fly and thus "eaten" it, the log should be turned over to the non-fly state. There were a lot of flies on the river by the end of this game!

I like that flip board option, pretty much finalizes things.

It's pretty amazing that I've only now just watched this. Uptown Funk/Really Wild Show - Oh man!

My favorite dynamic duo!!! Back in action again.....

Maybe the water is so polluted the frog suffocates in it? Or the river flows so fast when the frog touches it, it just gets instantly vaporized.

There’s a bad late 70s - maybe early 80s movie called The Maze. And it involves a giant Frog. I am filled with useless knowledge! 😁🐸

Great vid :D I like you two with board games ^^

I would love to play board games with you two. Such a great sense of humour you both have. 😀

Solo many genius lines in this. And you successfully redesigned it at the end.

Adult frogs cannot breathe under water.

Frogger is a classic game. I've never played the board game version.

If the die falls off the table you're supposed to reroll, I thought this was a universal board game rule

The reason Frogger is avoiding the water IS because the water is so fast. The idea I imagine is that he is trying to make it past to river into the wilderness where he could possibly get closer to more calm waters (such as a pond). While frogs are resilient swimmers, they tend to prefer ponds, and calmer streams than aggressive rivers. As for why he dies, ehhhh video game logic mostly but essentially it is him getting carried away and possibly smashed into logs and rocks.

... Are you sure that you're not supposed to be sent back to the start if the frog side of the die or a fly makes you land on a water space without a log on it? I mean, I'm certain you know the rules better than I do but that just seems so bizarre.

Guru Larry moved twice on that one he rolled right before the intermission...

Id love to play a game of "Frogs Cars Bacon" possible an Ashens Guru Larry Boardgame in the making if we get a kickstarter on it lol

You now wonder what other video game based board games are out there.

It's true. We really did look out for Nutkins' missing finger. That's why the NES didn't sell well in the U.K. We had better things to do.

The bacon is the equivalent of a 6? That must mean it's also the equivalent of a 1,2,3,4, or 5!

The movie "Frogs" was very deceptively marketed. Despite its name and its various promotional materials, it features no killer frogs. Other than an animated frog during the end credits, various other creatures do all the killing within the film.

Here's to a greatly anticipated video and to Terry Nutkins missing finger.

I found this board game interesting. I wouldn't play it, but watching you two play it was worth the watch.

the tradition of looking at a boardgame with extreme confusion should never die.

He dies because it's the Hudson river. (snicker) Just substitute the River Thames across the pond.

At 15, Nutkins lost part of two fingers to an otter, named Edal while filming Ring of Bright Water

lol Larry's face during the opening is priceless XD

It was an otter that did done the deed. Incidently another usless fact on missing fingers was that James Doohan ( scotty from TOS) lost part of his finger in a Bren gun accident and so they had to use hand double at points in the series. A usless fact

can't help but watch Larry fiddle with his shoe at the beginning of the video lol

*First the pond, then the world!* No seriously... that was the tagline to the film Frogs. Anyways, great to see you two blokes playing boardgames again!

Ashens licked the box XD

I would think that you can only move the cars/bacon that are the same color as your frogs for strategic defense purposes.

I gotta say, this is an interesting take on the Konami classic. One variation to the rules I'd make, though, is that if a player is forced to move forward into a space occupied by a car, that frog is forfeit, as per the arcade game. I might also add that you can't go in the river without a log... but those fly spaces would make the game as long as _Monopoly_, I reckon! Also. I really missed this series. Thank you for bringing it back. :3

No one said that the frog died when they jump into the water. It's just that jumping into it greatly inconvenients it since that's not where it wanta to go. Evidently, once a frog jumps into the water, it's very difficult for it to jump out. This is reflected in the loss of a life.

I like how it's the 'family version' yet contradicts itself by saying 7-14 ages _only_ (being somewhat implied)

Nutkins had a pet otter as a child, and well...things didn't go too well. Don't forget he also hosted Animal Magic with the legend that was Johnny Morris.

Holy shit it wasn't until half way in I realized this wasn't on Ashen's channel.

21:44 - Stuart: "Bloody hell", me: "Are we still doing these?"

Fantastic! Larry and Stu back together again in another video game based board game shenanigans. By the way,I think the bits in the middle look like Spam and cheese.

the REAL reason frogger dies when he falls in the water, is because he is most likely a species of frog/toad/whatever that CAN'T swim. the more you know!.... and knowing is half the battle! G.I.JOOOOOOEEEEE!!

Red and yellow frogs reminds me of an arcade game I used to play when I went to chuck e cheese as a kid.

frogger the board game causes nose bleeds lol

to be honest just having these two chatting about random crap would be awesome to!

Maybe it wasn't the water itself that killed Frogger, but the things IN the water. He hitches rides on alligators, turtles & logs. The gators and turtles eat him and the logs crush him if he falls in. Also, I remember the movie "Frogs." It had Ray Milland, Joan Van Ark and Sam Elliot before he started rocking the 'stache. It was one of many "nature gone nuts" movies cranked out in the mid-1970s to capitalize on the success of "Jaws." They used giant African bullfrogs and cane toads, but a frog big enough to swallow a person whole never did show up. I live not far from Eden Garden State Park where it was filmed. I keep meaning to go there for a tour.

the bacon looks like the junk that floats in the canal near me lol

Never thought they would make a board game version of frogger , I used to play the old table top arcade version of the game.

Remember when arcade games were so simple you could make board games out of them? COMING NEXT SEASON: FINAL FANTASY 7, THE BOARD GAME! Yeah, probably not. Fun video guys!

Damn. We had this back in the 80s. I wish I had taken all those old board games...

Jim Jeffries had an amazing bit on Pandas not breeding. "there's the panda! go fuck the panda!"

Pop station gambling site? Now THAT'S something I'd waste 100's of dollars on over two months, then realize the worthlessness of the games and resent.

more of this plz i love seeing arcade games turned in to board games

"You mean one of those blogs where you complain about everything." Hahah great.

Yay! More Ashen and Guru Larry board game shenanigans!

BREATHE UNDERWATER? Frogs (adult ones) cannot breathe underwater.

His nose is bleeding because he got punched in the face by the protagonist after all that sinister British laughing you two were up to. Since the end of the Cold War you guys have been the villains in most every movie, you can't fool me.

I actually looked up Milton Bradley. It was founded by somebody called Milton Bradley, not Mr. Milton and Mr. Bradley. So now you know

Dolphin otter, same thing.

Holy shit, I remember this! a d the Donkey Kong one too! this just made my day. thanks, boys!

Warning mentioning terry Nutkin can cause nose bleeds to any who mention his name lol

it just occurred to me that Stuart and Larry's voices sound like the same voice at different pitches

I'm actually scared of frogs but I'll try and endure it for you Larry and Stewart.
