Let's Play DEAD OF WINTER | Board Game Club 

ADAM: For a somehow EVEN LONGER cut of this week's episode, and for many more treats besides, consider joining NRB's Patreon: www.patreon.com/NoRollsBarred

Jon's card says "any other player". Not any non-exiled player. The rest of the game has been very specific to call out non-exile or not so... sorry Jon, that's a loss.

Sully wasting a fuel just for the mental image of a dog driving a car and then getting one of the most influential characters in the game killed have gone straight into my top 3 Sully moments in NRB history. 1. Learning he was the lunatic in botc 2. This moment 3. Summoning the queen twice in nemesis

Bev 100% is the MVP of the colony, she cooks she cleans she kills she’s the Mum

How, did they manage to turn this, semi-cooperative game that rewards selfish/antagonistic behavior into a less hostile board game than Mysterium, a game that is purely cooperative?

Rosie’s line about “the most terrifying dice in all of board games” killed me as much as it did Adam! Thank you for the laughs!!

I think Sully managed to kill more survivors than Adam did.

I haven't even finished the episode yet, but Sully's first turn is the funniest, worst turn of Dead of Winter I've ever seen.

I love how they just explain away all the complex tasks by justifying it with “Sparky’s a stunt dog”. They probably drove a car, looked for hidden objects, shot guns, and did takedowns on stuntmen for their Hollywood career.

I nearly did a spit take when Sully said all the important people won, trying to throw shade on Adam, but poor, unstable, paranoid Jon got caught in the crosshairs because he sure as hell didn't win.

I can't wait for Jon to be completely calm and reasonable throughout this video!

This is the best board game show since Tabletop with Will Wheaton ended. The camera isn't too far away from the table you can't see the game progress, and its a nice bonus that you have close up pop ups of the cards. Really appreciate it.

Laurie during the intro: players are gonna be working together for the most part…” The whole NRB community: “HA! That’s a good one!”

Going into this I was really hoping Sully would end up with Sparky the Wonder Dog. No Rolls Barred never disappoints.

The way I've replayed Rosie's "tHe mOsT TeRrIfYiNg DiCe iN AlL oF BoArDgAmInG" moment. 🤣🤣🤣 Honestly such a highlight of this episode, absolutely hilarious. Also love how festive it was that Adam effectively became a panto villain by the end of the game. 😅🤣

Rosie is a god damn treasure of a human being. I mean I would not trust her with a knife if she were to stand beside me but still a gem of a person

Sully's outburst @1:53:09 while Jon literally pops a Lung laughing in the background is one of the greatest moments in YT history!

Sparky is the best survivor in the whole game and there’s not a damn thing anyone could say or do to change my mind about that

I still think the best way for a trailer to be a traitor is to constantly make noise and search for more cards. Then contribute to the crisis to “help”. Act like you aren’t getting the right cards. Always add more survivors to make food hard. Use cards to make the waste pile fill up. Etc

WWE would love this game. It’s basically “Can They Coexist?!: The Board Game”

Shout out to Laurie for his succinct and useful turns. Fast players are the best so you can play more board games!

1:55:04 for the massacre that occurred onscreen. 35:26 for the Sparky car bit.

Quick tip, when you guys buy a outsiders card you don’t have to play it, it’s a card like the others, just let it stay on your hand xD no need to make noise to change it every time. :)

In my mind, there was this idea that Sparky was either a) a cyborg, or b) actually a furry with the temperment of the Punisher. Were it not for mum, Sparky could've been the MVP. Great watch!

Adam should have used some food cards to increase his die rolls in the last round, to let him do more actions. Players are normally allowed to spend food tokens to do this, but Exiles have to spend the food cards from their hands.

One of my favorite parts of DoW is that in base traitor rules, there -might- be a traitor but it's never guaranteed so you're never quite sure if you're looking for a bad guy or not.

This is one of those episodes I click just before bed and end up laughing my ass off at 1am with out realizing how much time has gone by. Adding this to the wishlist of games to someday play with a group.

im on Sully's side here his dog driving bit was worth it lol

How to betray effectively: Rather than fight zombies, go to where people are, lure zombies there so slots are full, and then for every person there a zombie will just kill someone.

1:52:07 The release of the stress that Jon had obviously built up inside of him wondering if there actually was a traitor was an absolute joy to behold! I almost pi$$ed myself laughing along with him! Classic gaming moment! Great play through of one of my favourite games. Cheers guys!

The Abandonded options are a bit weird It should be keep the baby, or get rid of the baby Keeping the Baby adds 5 zombies for its noise (no survivor added cuz the mother can feed it) Getting rid of the baby Reduces Morale by 1 because people would be upset

I have watched this video about 6 times and I still laugh. Because of this video I bought this game, played it many, many times and even reviewed it. This is the best board game video online barre none.

Well there's an entry for Adam's next list on worst ever heel turns.

Best play to do as traitor in that situation. Move a person to each outside location. Search and make 4 noise. Head to the colony and eat all the food to increased a die value by 1. But yes a lot of people try to sabo near the end but that is never enough time, honestly as traitor you play to excile while flooding resoursed asap

I love watching Jon in these kind of games. His chaotic unraveling especially in pure Co-op games always makes me laugh. Alo arguably best nails among NRB. But he didn't meet his objective here

Sparky with the shotgun: "I have come here to chew bones and kick ass. And I'm all out of bones."

Eyyyy Dead of Winter! One of my favorite games. I'm gonna time Jon - see how long it takes before he cracks. Also, I hope you're feeding Adam while he's tied up in your basement, Laurie.

1:55:04 Don't mind me. I simply feel time of death needs to be recorded.

“Scariest dice in board gaming”…Rosie makes me laugh every time!

DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED AND DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED I really appreciate Adam taking the time to explain the game and give an inside on what is happening for those who don't know it and questioning if there's a traitor when he's the traitor.

Zombie Sully is even more terrifying than regular Sully.

I think Laurie is the only member who’s sat in the same seat every game now and I’ll unsubscribe if he ever moves! It’s tradition!

Just when I thought I couldn't like Adam any more, he goes and says he's more of a Blur guy. Great episode, another game to add to my wishlist

Jon dying of laughter throughout the Great Book Debate is the purest of joy and I love it.

10:35 "It's a gritty survival series." says the guy controlling the Ninja. 😀

This episode has quite possibly the funniest final act Board Game Club has had to date. What are the chances of all of that happening so beautifully?

Rosie is somehow going to be the most reasonable person here, calling it now.

I must've replayed "You're sucking on shit, Adam" 10x in a row!! 😂😂😂😂

Before the hour passed Jon unraveled completely (justified and I'm all for it 100%) and somehow vindication came immediatelly after while Jon (again) unraveled some more about having to read his Crossroads card! This Let's Play is already a banger!

Jon, from 1:52:20 is one of the best things I have ever seen, laughter is contagious

Every game they have played on board game club is a game I want to own or own but haven’t played it.

I think Laurie deserves a raise…. And then another 10 hour stream…… in person because that would be great for viewers and not players

I really like how Laurie described this game's rules

About the 25 minute mark, Adam auto plays the outsider card. Technically, you don't have to play outsider cards, you can just take them in to your hand, but the 'outsider1' isn't bad even in 'Too Many Mouths' since the extra searcher can be a huge thing early on. It's also a good traitor play, but then again most things are...

I understand there's no reason to comment on a 10 mth old video, but it should be noted that Outsider cards DO NOT have to be played if you gain one. They function as normal item cards and be held until the player voluntarily chooses to play them. Apart from desiring a better card (a good enough reason on its own), there's no reason to "fear" an Outsider card. Just choose NOT to play them.

"How can we help you betray us?" I was DYING roflmao

1:48 "For every dead survivor...???" Surely if you're a survivor, you're not dead!

Quick rules clarification and a story. Okay, so you're not supposed to read the mechanical effects of Crossroads card choices along with the flavor text before making the choice. You're supposed to make your decision based solely on the flavor text. My group and I made that same mistake too and learned our mistake when I bought the app (as that's how it works with the app). By the way, definitely get the app. It adds ambient music, voice overs, and sometimes even sound effects. Well worth the small price, is completely optional, and is not intrusive to the experience. It simply enhances the game. Story time now! Okay, so I was playing with my normal group and we had not considered giving Sparky (the dog) a gun because, you know, it's a dog. A player looked over at me (the rules person in our group) and asked if there was actually a rule against it. I looked for a while but couldn't find any so they immediately gave the dog a gun. A whole back story quickly developed about how the dog was basically Rambo or John Wick. He was never meant to use a gun but he had a dark mysterious and violent past. He vowed never to use a gun again but the zombies came. So Sparky said "Yeah, I guess I'm back!" Every turn, that dog went around blasting zombies away as the group cheered him on. Then... He got hurt. We quickly gave that player pain killers the dog took them. Unfortunately, that triggered a Crossroads card and Sparky ended up addicted. We did our best but simply couldn't feed his addiction and, well, RIP Sparky.

I am only half way through of the playthrough so far, but I'd like to point out that the game is being made extra hard for the traitor (if there is one!) by playing with too much open information. Hands should be kept secret, search should be kept secret. If playing with too loose open hands about what cards you have then it is almost impossible to spike the crisis.

1:11:34 Sparky has now evolved from a Stunt Dog to the gun version of that dog that "fights" with swords 😂

Just wanted to say that I stumbled on your channel a few months ago and this series quickly became part of my Tuesday! Keep it up you guys

one thing I've learned after recently checking this channel out is: I just adore Sully 🤣🤣🤣

That image of some dude in the zombie apocalypse playing "Wonderwall". 😂 The secret newborn gets the hacky sack.

The Rage about Sully starting with Sparky was funny because I also had to start with Sparky, but there's an event card where Sparky gets a gun and may accidentally shoot someone with it or raise morale

This game has so many steps to remember at any players turn, that is really insane. I like the game, but feels more like it would be better as a videogame.

I love Sparky, but Jon is 100% right about how inaaprioate the cape wearing super dog in the tense survival horror, moral choice game.

Searching- "Oo a lighter" Opens locker with 3 huddled children inside *CLANG* "Oo some medicine"

I have now binged all of board game club and i have to say: Thank you so much for all the content and entertainment to all of you and i am looking forward to the next one. Much love!

You know, I'm not usually a huge fan of Rosie's comedy. But that impression of Adam fucking MURDERED me, well done

SPOILER in terms of that whole traitor situation... The picture they use of Adam to show he's the traitor has the most hilariously and thematically perfect look of supreme smugness I can imagine.

Rosie's comment caused emotional damage! 🤣

The second John Gracey stated they were doing well... too well, a part of me instantly thought that if they had a traitor, they were doing an absolute shit job. Something something turntables... at least they patronized him well enough for it!!!

Yay! Another episode of my internet friends (who don’t know me from Steve) playing a board game. Thanks for the early week entertainment.

Thank you all for an amazing time watching, honestly my week was crap but this did lift my spirits! Thank you for the amazing laughs and poor some seven eleven grease out for Rod.

This was a really fun episode. I'd like to see this played again down the road.

Even though I know this was filmed in 2021 and therefore not a part of the chalkboard of wins and losses, this is such a spiritual loss for Adam that I'm suspecting it singlehandedly pushed him to announce that resolution for 2022.

How have these people not yet started a D&D campaign, yet? They're all so amazing. I would love to watch them play D&D.

I think significantly less of anyone who doesn't like sparky, you are not invited to our board game night

This was much, much funnier than I was expecting a game this grim to be. Great play through!

This was the best episode since Hit The Silk. Would love another episode playing that. 7 stars.

I adore this game, so happy to see you all playing it!

Great video, specially love your semi-cooperative gameplays. The willing suspension of disbelief when Sparky uses a gun is not so much of a stretch. In our last game he was reading books about barricade construction. Well at least dogs have an affinity to wood. Cheers!

Just tested positive. Have been continuously checking the notifications for this upload. You guys always manage to make me smile at the worst times. Thank you for creating such a wholesome community ❤️

Adam’s hot take on University life. Absolutely spot on 👌

Would absolutely love to see you guys play this (or maybe one of the expansions) again

Been watching these videos at work and they make the day go by faster. Really enjoy watching them

After less than an hour, it's become clear that Rosie is just the best. Hope she makes as many appearances on future episodes as possible.

love the implication that Wonderwall is considered an old spiritual in the apocalypse

Dudeeeeeeee! This is my favorite game! I adore this game so much! Still hoping for variants from the creators.

Been waiting all week for this!

I'm so excited! I've been wanting to see y'all play this since you started Bgc in person!

Loved this! Lots of fun, thanks guys!

Another great game! Thank you so much! Fun to game/live vicariously through you beautiful gamers, especially as the plague rages on.

Just discovered your channel and you've already played my favorite board game. Subscribed!

I think dead of winter is my favorite board game so I am beyond excited for this episode!!

Cheers all for yet another entertaining session. A fab playthrough and yet another game to add to my must buy list!

This game looks so fun! You all look like you are having a blast!

Discovered this game in college. Haven't won a game yet in it but still so enjoyable

Good lord, this lineup is spectacular! They are hilarious beyond measure. #RIP Rod

Seen this game in the background and I’ve been looking forward to seeing it.
