Key To The Kingdom - Board James (Episode 11) 

I got this for $17 in a pawn shop, and without Board James I wouldn't have known what it was. Only one bridge piece was missing, too.

This is one of the few reviews that actually made want what was being reviewed.

A board game where players can defeat other players with the board game itself. Genius!

This is one of the rare moments where I feel I _really_ need this game. I'm just not sure if it's worth £50.

My heart skipped a beat when he opened the board!

"Well, he's dead." -James Rofle 2011

I want this game just so I could go down to a card shop somewhere and blow everyone's mind with the opening/folding board.

I had a good friend in Elementary school who had this game and we rarely actually played the game, usually just used the monster cards to create imaginary games based around them. Too bad because this game looks really fun!

This actually looks pretty fun lol.

The best thing about board games are that they can be Recreated easily. I suppose I can look up a Rules Manual and get my crayons out!

You can't beat a classic board game and a Saturday.

Man, you gotta love the art and creativity for this game!

This was one of the many casualties I lost when my mother decided to send off all my old board games to Good Will after I moved out. Probably gave away several hundred dollars worth of old board games that were all in excellent condition with all their pieces.

This shit looks pretty awesome.

Nowadays the only boardgames i see in the commercials are things like a dog pooping

Thankfully, this is one of the more affordable epic games that James reviews.

I recall playing this at age 11 and my asshole friend pick-pockets the key right at the end. I was so mad I over turned the board game. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ Thus for a while my friends called me the wild Boar.

This game is on tabletop simulator!!!

What the fuck happened to board games like this?

I still have this game, so glad that I do

I'm so happy!! ^^ I won this board game off of eBay for just around 20 dollars, and another 20 dollars to ship it from the UK to me in Sweden, I just got it today... and it is 100% complete. :D Everything is there and the game itself is not worn at all. Its the british version, but its basically the same as the american version, only its published by Waddington's instead of Golden, so it has a different cover-art, but that's about it. I'm so excited and looking forward to play this with my friends. :D Thanks to you, James, this is everything I have ever wanted in a good adventure board game since I was a kid. ^^

You know I own a ton of newer board games like the ones mentioned below, and I'm going to say this much- This game STILL kicks just as much ass today, as it did when it came out. This game, along with others like The Omega Virus(Played Space Alert? Same level of chaotic fun to be found here), were and are a ton of fun to play. They aren't anywhere near as complex as a game like, say Ghost Stories or Merchant of Venus, but are they just as fun? Hell yes.

I still have this one! It is awesome. And those monster designs are truly unique and terrifying.

They should re-release this, it looks kinda fun.

...and POOPY BROWN

This is simply astonishing, what a unique idea for a board game

This series is what inspired me to make a board game. So thanks James!

SOMEONE PLEASE TURN THIS INTO A VIDEO GAME!

This game looks so awesome!

I love watching these videos James! They introduce me to multiple new games that are fun and I'd never herd of! The only flaw, I own none of the games! D:

I still have this. Still one of my favorite board games.

I love it when RU-vid brings back a childhood memory that otherwise would have been forgotten. This game was great.

This game looks EPIC!

0:35-0:38 "It's The Great Dumpkin, Poopy Brown!"

Dusted this bad boy off after it had been untouched at my grandpa's house for over 20 years. Played it with my 5 year old and he loves it!

THIS IS MY FAVORITE BOARD GAME OF ALL TIME!!! I love the designs of everything in Key of The Kingdom, such as the board, all the cards, and the monster designs!!!

this game would be so much fun to play i wish i could find it

I really want this game, now. It's pretty expensive, on Amazon, though...... Someday.......

This was a fantastic board game! Loved it as a kid.

This was one of my favorite games. My neighbor had it but I never knew anyone else that had even HEARD of it lol. I've watched a few of these, "Board James," videos and each one is bringing back memories. Crossfiyaaaaaa!

looks fun

what happens if ur not in the whirlpool when the world opens up? do u die or go to a new place?

I got this game as a christmas present when i was a kid. I still have it and all the pieces and now enjoy playing it with my son

Best part of Board James is that if you can't find the physical board game or wanna try it out before buying a physical copy, almost all these games can be found in tabletop in the steam workshop.

Why haven't Geek and Sundry invited James to Tabletop?

This game cost 500$ on amazon, ebay EVERYWHERE

I would love nothing more than to play board games with James for hours that would be a treat

Thanks for taking the time to show this. I spent many hours as a kid playing this with my friends. Awesome, awesome game

wow, this is actually a bad ass game and usually i hate board games.

Is that Blanka at 1:20?

You know I’ve always wanted him to return to doing board James season three

I used to have this game as a kid!!!! I have to find it again! Thanks for posting this video!

This is AWESOME can you still buy it somewhere?

Most of these games seem mediocre compared to Dominion, Catan and other more modern board games, even this one.

I have watched every single one of these thinking ''its just a board game'', however, these have seriously convinced me to collect these on top of my manga and video game collections.

Whoa…. Really brings me back.

I didn't remember the game until I saw some of the dungeons and the monsters and memories came flooding back, first hand experience as a kid, was awesome!

Such awesome memories of this one! So imaginative!

made me so happy to see this, I used to play this all the time when i was a kid with my brothers and sisters.

came today with the mail :) Thank You Cinemassacre! for putting my attention on this one.

James, I would come over any day and play this!!!!

That theme song was epic! The greatest part being the choir!

Those are some really insane and cool monster cards!! The design on this game is excellent, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I had this as a kid. Even played it with my mom. Just realized now as im watching this that we were playing it all wrong. Lol XD But i remembered loving the game all the same. Brings back great memories.

This was one of my favorite games as a kid. :)

Man, it just makes you realise how many D&D-lite board games there were in the 80s and 90s.

My god.... even the Gogolithic Mass is in this game. Simply epic.

Played this game as a kid. It’s a really enjoyable adventure. Doesn’t take long, so we often played several times in a row. You’re always confident you’ll do better next time.

One of my old favorites as a kid, This and hero quest.

The Flying Werewolf!? I love how unapologetically intense that is! 😂

For 7 years I have forgotten the name of this game, UNTIL NOW. THANK YOU AVGN, THIS WAS MY FAVORITE BOARD GAME EVER!

You know I recently found this game at home in an old room o.o I was soo excited and it is even fun, when you play it with one friend^^ I play it a lot with my boyfriend when we are bored :)

Thanks for telling, I might play this.❤

I used to love playing it as a kid, and the best part? Even though I mostly played against my mom, I still played against others when I was able, and it wasn't always a one-on-one game. Even so, I HAVE NEVER LOST. I had a close call the last time I played it, but even though I hadn't played it for years then, I still won.

Out of all the board games you reviewed this game always peeked my interest. It really looks amazing and yes I would love to play this with you one day!

This game is really inventive and differetn. Surely, the D&D theme has been used, but the folding map is amazing. Thanks for digging this one up.. I know you've made the day of both sellers and buyers of old games. :)

This has me thinking about Dungeon! from TSR. Memory has faded too much to remember much about it. All of these vague memories from 30+ years ago get frustrating.

This was my favorite board game as a kid!

Man, so much nostalgia. I had this game when I was a kid and I loved it. I want to get it again but I can't find it.

One of my all time favorites! It's a toss up with Hero Quest.

This game looks so awesome. I'm amazed the folding-board-as-a-trap thing hasn't been done more often in board games. This looks like tons of fun.

I had this game when I was a kid. It was awesome.

so many games about warriors. and love how elthese board games are more convoluted than retro games.

Awesome! I got that board game for my birthday when I was a kid, never knew how to play it, but just the artwork on the board and cards was awesome. I wonder if its still at my parents house somewhere? LOL!

I loved this game when I was younger, I was such a nerd I sometimes played this game by myself when I couldn't get anyone to play this with me. Understandable how I can get so nostalgic watching this *sighs* Great Board James!

I still have this game!!

OMG my cousin have this when I was a kid. bring back sooo much memories lol

We had this game but without the instructions. We had to make our own rules. The board was so fantastic, we loved it

Now this is the D&D I wanna to play, Its one of those that look complicated but finish to be easy and fun

Oh. my. god. I flipped when James opened the whirlpool board. That is just amazing! And lol @ the prick of a friend who waits by the exit.

I had this as a kid but I got nightmares because the picture of the monsters really freaked me out 😂

wow, what a great looking game board. i love to play it with my friends.

You know what I just thought of? This game would make an awesome mini-golf course. I think that's why mini-golf courses are still fairly popular among the older crowds. They're reminiscent of the fantasy lay-outs of these awesome board games.

Just got a used version of this game for 43 bucks. And has all the pieces! Can't wait until it comes!

I have this board game, its a great time.

Wow, a genuinely well-designed fantasy board game. 8-) Thanks for the great in-depth review !

I used to have this game to. I want it back.

Thats awesome. Probably next to Fireball Island on my favs list.

My jaw dropped when he landed on the whirlpool lol

I finally got to play this last night. It is really fun!
