Let's Play SNIPER ELITE: THE BOARD GAME | Board Game Club

“I’m Adam and I’m the protagonist. If you don’t believe me, here is me against literal Nazis.”

23:55 "Hello, how's charity?" "Oh no, I'm a proper Nazi." Sullivan got me good with that one 😂

I don't know if Laurie, Blair or Sully watch these back, but it would be maddening to see how often they were SO close.

I'm always rooting for Adam because the closer he gets to dodging Monopoly, the sweeter it will taste when he inevitably fails.

something i will add about that soviet thing, one rifle per two people was mostly just during ww1, by ww2 the industrial base of the soviet union was large enough that it could supply millions of rifles with ease, though there were localized shortages of arms and ammo, just as there were in all other armies.

Really enjoyed the Undercover Agent variant used here where Laurie kept coaxing Blair and Sully away from where Adam was

The classic problem with WWII games. Adam picked this game and chose to play as the sniper to force us to root for him.

That Sound Supression at the beginning was an excellent play. Adam got a lot of use out of that single card as they were searching the complete wrong area. Well played Adam.

About Sullivan's random fact, it actually wasn't Czech president but his son who was the minister of foreign affairs. But still, very impressive, Sully!

At 54:20 the sniper doubles back, but this is strictly verboten! Movement rules, "You cannot move into a space you have already occupied this turn".

I was unsure about what this would be purely on the name, but in practice this is a really cool looking game! I love hidden movement games, like Whitehall Mystery and Jaws and the theming really fit the genre here. SPOILERS Adam really earned this one. Really clever movement in using double-backs, and purposefully missing a long range shot to throw them off was brilliant. Well earned hash on the chalkboard!

Quick clarification- The sniper can't enter the same space they have already occupied previously in the same turn. So Adam's bluff on turn 9 where he ran out of the room and back in wasn't allowed.

That first "fact" is actually well known to be a myth.

Sully insights have become some of my favorite parts of NRB. He teaches me so much with such comedic timing. Never change Sully, never change!

You know what, Adam deserves a solid win. As a treat.

If I had a Nickle for every time I heard the fact of Russia sharing two guns between themselves today, I would have three nickles, which isn't a lot, but strange how I heard the same thing three times today.

The rules say you “can’t move into a space that you’ve already occupied this turn” so moving out and back in again(at objective 3) was an illegal move. I might be wrong though :)

This reminds me a little of when you all played Whitehall, which to this day has been my favorite vid on the channel.

It's good to see that a combination of Christoph Waltz and Henning Wehn filled in for sulley this week

I love the whole statement, "We are going to show you how fun board games can be" .... while playing a board game based on a video game

Before I even start watching this I want to thank the channel for all the games you play. I have picked up skull, 6 nimmt, Chinatown and Mansions of Madness because of how good they have looked here.

Omg that Blair sweep turn 2. I could feel my heartbeat

Hmm, I think it's a sign of how much NRB I've watched that when Adam and Laurie both did an accented "Shut that door" I was also doing it...

NRB is always the highlight of my week 🦀

Don't be stupid, be a smarty, come and play Sniper Elite: The Board Game! Looks like it'll be a great episode - thanks folks.

One of the best things I like about these plays is your respect to do a small outro before an ad. That seems like a small thing but it's soooo much better than abruptly getting cut off with an ad. A+ to you. Liked and subscribed!

Only a few minutes in, but the one American very much not willing to joke about being a Nazi feels pretty on point with current American politics.

"Have you looked at our caps lately? They've got skulls on them. Hans? Are we the baddies?"

I question Sully's historical knowledge or at the least his firearm knowledge, though to be fair he is British. They've come over to the US in large numbers for low prices and they tend to work fairly well, though not accurate by modern standards they do in fact go bang. I have one that was made in Izhevsk in 1942 with the serial number prefix Л, it would not be surprising if my rifle was at Stalingrad at some point, since the date and serial number would imply it was made a relatively short time before and that was the deadliest battle of WWII. Though it is true that not enough of these rifles were present at the beginning of the war with a non-aggression pact between Germany and the USSR (and warning signs of Germany's upcoming violation of the pact reportedly ignored), but now to this day it is estimated that it is the second or third most produced rifle ever (behind the Kalashnikov family and by some estimates the Gewer 98).

Honestly Adam, I'm *always* rooting for you, simply because every story needs a good villain.

I’m only at minute 9 and I can already tell this will be a goldmine for the out of context compilations

39:30 that was genius. Adam used the fact that they knew he wasn't previously in yellow against them. Instead of going for 7 and likely getting caught, he went back for 3. 41:45 and they caught him quick, too! I gotta get this game.

54:30 unironically a big brain move

I can't even imagine how you could turn this game into a boardgame so this is going to be interesting.

It's a myth:' Soviets had a bullet or a weapon' has already been debunked as a myth (it was popularized in a movie nonetheless not accurate)

Sullivan here's some facts for you: Costa Rica has the largest percentage of protected land for wildlife reserves or national parks compared to any other country in the world. Ecuador has some easy ones to remember, the equator runs through it and sunrise/sunset is consistent (12 hours of light, 12 hours of dark).

Ive been waiting for this one all week. Finally. NRB is the best channel on RU-vid

I have seen this game played before but you guys turn a game that is not the most exciting to watch into a fun time. Great work guys !

Adam dropping down deep into black then doing an 180 and going back to yellow the next turn was a beautiful play and completely bamboozled the nazis

It’s the best time of the week! BOARD GAME CLUB!!!

that flawless 4-hit was basically a slow-motion shot

Best way to win as the sniper is to make as much noise as possible shouting “Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!”

Personally i found this to be the best episode. Im eagerly waiting for you guys playing this again at some point in time. I hope you guys liked playing it as much as i did watching. Kuddos!

This channel has helped me find my new hyperfixation

I just saw a review of this game like yesterday... and now NRB comes through with a full length gameplay? I'm in heaven

Sully is less a Downfall Nazi and more an Allo Allo Nazi.

The one and only time I genuine rooted for Adam to win a game lol.. I’m usually Team Laurie every week..

I recently bought this game but haven't played it yet. Thanks for the playthrough. Adam made a mistake when he doubled back to the same spot in that one building. The rules say you can not move onto a space you already occupied this turn. Fun game though. Can't wait to play it.

Hi Adam. Don’t expect you to remember this, but on the HIAC watchalong livestream I had suggested for a patreon exclusive “hidden” style of video for BOTC. Where we could play along and guess what is going on. So happy to see it finally adopted. Hopefully it receives great feedback and we can see this concept for BOTC someday. Cheers!

This is one of the only games where I’ve rooted for Adam entirely. When it’s asymmetrical and him against everyone like this it makes me want him to win!

so after watching this video, i really have to say well done adam, that was bloody well played. turns out he isn't bad at Board games after all :D. That game seems so fun. I especially like the idea of the shooting mechanic, because it really mirrors how it feels in the video game: As long as you don't go for some fancy shots, hitting is usually not the problem, but staying unnoticed is. really well translated into the board game here.

Alright this was tense. This was so close in so many moments. Love it.

This was excruciating. So many times did they receive information that made their future decisions apparent, only for them to go look in a rubbish bin miles away. Two times they had him dead to rights and he got away due to their lack of sense.

The Inglorious Blampied

I'm very happy that my work weekend starts with NRB. Keep doing what you all do, content NEVER disappoints.

That sully fact about soviet rifles and one bullet is wrong FYI a myth started by Enemy at the Gates.

A surprisingly good adaptation. Though I feel like the sniper really should exfil (via any of the exits) during a third round. Also, Blair consistently pronouncing "move" as "meww-v" drives me up the wall.

"I'm just in it for the chocolate" had me rolling on the floor oh my god, Sullivan

Nicely played Adam. Tricked them just enough to win

This is without a doubt my favorite 4 people on the show so this episode is an extra big treat for me.

"...something you don't have, and want to appropriate...Sullivan", damn Bro just ask the guy out already

Never knew Sniper Elite had a board game! Thank you Board Game Club for helping me discover this!

Blair was always pointing at the correct places and no one listened!!!

You four are great to watch!

It's a bit too easy being the Sniper imo, so I added needing to exfiltrate after completing the second objective. The wat I do it is make a random entrance, (not the one you're in) the exfil point. It also adds a bit more time to the game 😅

I am honesty so happy this made a return one of my go to episodes when I introduced my friends to this channel

I find myself dancing to the music.

Adam:"You're not gonna root for the nazis,are you?" ME:"You're right i'm not gonna root for the nazis, I'm gonna hope that you lose."

There's one thing I wish the boardgame had from the original... Testicle Shot. Shoot between the legs, it hurts more.

something cool you might be able to pull off for games like this. would be to have someone controlling the lights on the table during the game. in this game for ex you could have the lights fade from blue to yellow when a the sniper has been located. when the sniper is hit it could flash to red and fade back to yellow on the first wound. obviously it would not work on all games, but for some games like this it might be cool. maybe a patreon only feature to give the viewers who contribute some more unique content. just a thought.

Adam's really giving of inglorious bastards energy

I was wondering how this game would translate to the tabletop since it's a game about shooty-bang-bang times. Hidden movement makes so much sense! In between the shooty-bang-bangs, you have to make sure that your enemies can't see you as you cover ground.

I'm not super into board games but this really gripped me. I think if I was to play this I would play an additional object which would be to escape. There would be 6 predetermined positions to escape. Role a die to get your position then make your way

This reminds me of Clue: The Great Museum Caper that I used to love when I was young!

Sully being a German in a game about fighting and killing.....Jurgen Flopp??!?!?!?!!

Waiting for the playthrough of War of the Ring the board game, where Sully and Adam are Sauron and Laurie and Blair are the Free Peoples.

Sullivan is totally wrong about the Soviet rifle thing. Also contrary to popular belief Russian equipment was pretty reliable.

Fun fact: Sullivan was wrong about soviet rifles and the one bullet myth

Costa Rica fact. Juan Santamaria is one of their greatest heroes. He helped defeat an army sent by the Southern Confederacy of America that was intended to enslave much of Central America to provide resources for the Confederacy in the (inevitable) American Civil War. He was a drummer boy in the Costa Rican peasant militia, and died setting fire to a Confederate stronghold allowing Costa Rica to win the battle and the war.

Reminds me a bit of the Scotland Yard boardgame. Also with one person moving across the map hidden and the others having to catch them.

13:08 Sully spreading fibs about the Soviets

Fun Episode as always. I think it's a bit of an unfortunate choice of the game creator that the Nazis use Black-Red-Yellow as that represents the current german flag. A more sensible choice would have been using the red-black-white of the nazi flag and switch up neutral zones with the current yellow zones. Might just be a minor nitpick as a german person, though personally I'm not offended at all. Not sure if such minute detail will stop the game from being released over here though.

"These guys just reek nazi" Yes but like Mitchell going "are we the baddies? There is a skull on my cap :(" not like... Red Skull. Edit: also if you love those hidden move games maybe try Fury of Dracula. The ones among you that like doing voices will get their fill and you could make Blair do a British accent. That last one is a joke I also can't do accents.

This seems like a better version of Whitechapel and I'm all for it. I loved the video games, and this seems super cool. I think I have to buy it now.

1:14:09 uh oh, I’ve got competition with Laurie 🤣

Adam out here picking off soldiers like the original Rambo of the David Morrell novel 👏

Really loved this episode, love the sniper elite franchise and the latest sniper elite 5 is one of the best games I played.

I am happy beyond belief that you guys played this because i was wondering if i should pick this up or not. The answer is yes.

That Soviet one bullet and one gun thing is myth lol

Oh okay, so this is a lot like Whitehall Mystery. That was super fun to watch y'all play. I'm sure this will be a fun time!

Who would thunk it that this entertains me

Enjoyed watching this. First video I watched from you guys and I have to say that it's quite incredible that there is such an amazing board game from a video game that in reality I wouldn't believe could make for an amazing board game. 5/5 stuff.

I backed this on Kickstarter. Couldn’t recommend it more . Super solid game.

been loving this channel ever since i found it last week, as i was watching this vid, i thought of an interesting idea. you guys should do a 4 way race with those hunt a killer games and whoever solves their mystery first wins

Oh! I have a version of this game that's themed around Ninjas from Legend of the Five Rings

Dear Sully. They rarely to never had less guns than they had men on any front and men sent into battle carried at least a bolt-action rifle. The scene from "enemy at the gates" is a heady mix of misinterpreted first-hand accounts about the lack of cohesion and tactical acumen during the years 1941-1942. As for their weapons being so horrifically unreliable, no. Their weapons were very reliable with a few excaptions. Those being the PPSH drum magazines having feeding issues, but those were rarely carried. The ammo was the main issue, due to the speed at which ammo needed to be pumped out there was the issue of large ammounts of under pressurized cartridges causing cycling issues in direct blowback weapons, like the PPSH and TT-30 both chambered in 7.62x25 Tokarev. This was not an issue for the SVT-38 or the SVT-40 as they were notoriously overgassed, and obviously not a problem for a bolt-action.

Hate to say it, but a key move at 54 minute mark was illegal. See movement rules, you cannot renter a space you were previously in during the same turn. He pulled a trick to make it sound like he moved 2-3 spaces but really he doubled back to the same space. Can’t do it.
