GameNight is consistently the best channel for watching a group play a game. I was watching old stuff from season 1 and just reminiscing about those days and my game group back then. You’re all blessed to still be together playing games.
What I love about this channel is that they are almost reluctant heroes who love games but have put themselves in front of the camera for the love of games rather than some sort of self promotion/acting gig. Yes I know Deborah and Dave are actors but even with them we are not really getting them overdo it
"If there are multiple possibilities, choose which Arrows to remove" (from the Reveal section in the rules) So in the second round, you can make a line of 3 chevrons. You basically remove the fewest number of chevrons possible to score points.
This game is such a good conversation generator. One question on scoring: the rules say to remove any that are out of place, but score all that are ascending. It looks like they removed pairs that were swapped.
It's a fun game! I played it last weekend. There are many different kinds of questions and some you just have to skip depending on the player group. And it's always fun to see Deborah!
This week has been very busy and exhausting... but then I remember that today is Thursday, I see that there is another funny video of you guys, and like magic "puff!" the tiredness goes away. Thank you for these moments of gratification.
I bought it after seeing gameplay on "No Rolls Barred". It just looks like a fun conversation starter. This, "So clover" and "Just one". Man, Repos Production is on fire!
Good game. The discussions after each question are clearly vital and add massively to the fun. It did remind me of Just One, but it's different enough to stand separate. Enjoyed watching you play. I love that you're building up a library of played games videos (it's just a shame you can't play every game ever released!). I usually don't buy a game now until I've seen it played, and Game Night is always my first port of call for that. :-)
Im confident the team is playing the game incorrect. You're allowed to remove any number of arrows to give you the most points. So in round two they could have removed the 35 to score 3 points.
A lot of the time the age range has to do with certifications from safety regulators for components. It costs a lot more to get something certified for a 6 year old vs an 8 year old.
@Deborah You can't see Earth rise from the Moon because Moon's rotation time is the same as it's revolution so the same side always faces Earth. But 3 days seems the right amount of time to sped there. :)
To get any product rated for under 8 there are a lot of hoops and paperwork that a company needs to go through with the Consumer Products Safety Bureau to prove that it is safe for younger kids. I have heard that is why so many board games are listed 8+
I think they messed up recording the scoring on the star anyway - anyway an interesting video specially the internal age question - really thought Dave would class himself as youngest
The moon round should have scored 3 points as well - 3 days, 72 hours, and 30 days. The 2 months is the odd one out. Also it takes 3 days to get to the moon.
We got the question "How many relationships that lasted longer than one year have you had?", which some at the table didn't feel comfortable answering, so we skipped it.
The point about uncomfortable questions was raised by The Dice Tower. I'm surprised they didn't really cover it here, though as they quickly said you can just quickly choose another question
But Fun Facts is all about people's perceptions of themselves, not facts. BTW, the run is supposed to be the greatest possible run, from my understanding based on another group playing this. So the Disney movies should have been 3, I think.
so many tires changed...I biked a lot when I was a kid, I figure I had to have changed 3-4 tires in my pre-teen years...and I owned a lot of old cars, drove a lot of bad roads, and had a driving Sunday newspaper delivery job for around 10 years clocking a TON of miles on gravel roads, then a dozen years commuting 30 miles to work every day and lastly driving school bus for a little under 10 years...the over/under for me on HAVING a flat is about 20...BUT, how many times did I actually change the tire and not rely on a parent to service station guy...probably about 10...so my number would be roughly 13-15-ish times...i HATE changing tires.
Oh, this is pretty interesting.. a game where you play with your own personal information, while making (only) assumptions on others. Quite friendly and smart. EDIT: A Spiel des Jahres nomination!? Mmm, maybe for production value
