I had a friend that collected a lot of various junk in his garage, and among that pile, very well organized board games of every sort and shape from the 80's, the 90's, as well as brand new games. He always had this soothing father figure aura around him, inviting many seemingly strangers, that with time grew as a group of close friends in that place. We were always welcome to come and go to his garage to play some of his board games or just to relax, while he was always making sure that there was a relaxing mood for everyone, with snacks and many sorts of comforts. He was one of those person who are always joking around whenever they can, he was even joking about his hearth condition all the time, that sadly took him away two years ago. I've always envyed that about him. The fact that he could joke about that, was making the sickness almost non existent. Without a doubt the most caring and kind person I've ever met in my entire life, and probably that I will ever met, and I will always remember him fondly for the model he was. On the evening of his 37th birthday we casually played, for the first time, "Seed Spreaders", probably his last board game ever before he suddenly died from an hearth attack in the middle of that same night. The game was not bad nor the best one I've ever played, but, it will always have a special place to me, as one of our last joyful memory with him. Fuck.
Rules Goof: When you grow a seed or tree, the component you replace goes back to the player board. If there is no empty space on the player board for that thing, it goes to the box and is now out of the game. So if you grow a seed to a small tree, that seed either goes to your player board or if there is no room then back to the box. Adds a lot more thinking about when you do things and a punishment for not noticing what you have available.
Kris Bennett the best part of each episode is when they realize they’ve been cheating all along and either try to sweep it under the rug or apologize and feel terrible
Agreed. 12 minutes in and after it being said multiple times (with the last iteration less than 30 seconds prior), Jacob spends one sunlight to make a small tree a medium tree instead of the required two. Adhering to the rules, regardless of simplicity, seems to be a huge issue and extremely difficult across most board game videos from what I’ve seen (saying that it’s not just Funhaus that has the issue from what I’ve noticed). Baffles me. It’s something I wish more attention would be given to, because at that point it’s not a real competition.
Just wanted to say that otherwise I really do love the Board as Hell series. It’s the only series I watch consistently/completely at this point online.
To be fair to them playing a game for the first time you're bound to make mistakes just because it can be hard to understand some rules until you encounter the situation they were made for. And humans. Lol
Adam at 19:00 talking about the giving tree again and everybody freaking out had me cracking up so hard. Just imagining that's all he's been thinking about for almost 20 minutes 😂😂
To answer adam, in the star wars universe, the galactic calendar is based around coruscant's rotation. Which is identical to earth's, so baby Yoda would be 50 by normal standards. Edit: 29:52 for reference
This game brings out the competitive side of people. I played this with my nearly-elderly father and his wife recently, and it's probably the only time I've seen my dad just... so pissed off looking. We played three rounds, in the first he kicked our asses, but in the third game all his trees were shaded for the majority of the game and boy was he upset. This is the new Monopoly, just... everybody is mad by the end of it if you play too long.
It would be really cool if this game came with like a little lamp that you rotate around the board and then the trees were the perfect height to cast the right shadow on the spaces behind it
Age of resistance was such a good show. Elyse’s love for Muppets gave me the strength to overcome my deep seeded fear of the movie and I'm better for it. Thanks E dog.
When Adam mentioned the Mandalorian, the Star Wars base of time is comes from coruscant which has a revolution of days and rotation exactly the same as Earth.
wut, i'm pretty sure they just don't perfectly know the rules so they screw up every now and then. Seems like every person on board as hell has an episode where the editor pokes fun at them doing something unknowingly. except james of course.
And James makes mistakes too, at around 56:30 he plants a tree that shoulda been in tree jail he didn’t buy it! Edit: actually rewatching he kind of did it a number of times and kept calling others out lol
@@justinbenbrook707 the tree 'jail' only holds a certain number of trees. If it's full and you take a tree of the board you don't have to put it in jail and can place it without extra costs.
A bit late and this is my first time seeing this game so might be wrong but pretty sure they all have cheated. Even James did, at 1:04:30, when he grew medium tree to big and didn't put the medium one in jail.
I believe you played several rules in the wrong way. For example: 13:29 when you grow a tree or a seed, the tree/seed that is removed from the forest need to go to Player Board (you need to purchase it again in the future) or go to the box (out of the game) if no space is available. 14:56 when placing a seed, it does not have to be linear, so his planting is legal.
Just to pedantically nitpick, there are in fact winds on Mars; it's a planet well-known for windstorms, which are sometimes even visible from space. The problem is the much lower atmospheric density means they top out at around 50-60mph, which isn't enough to cause such extreme damage.
This is the closest a game can get to actually watching grass grow, and I watched other people play it, wtf. Also I must remember to read the descriptions, one of two channels that actually puts effort into them.
Dude you can put Jacob on any thumbnail and I’ll watch it for sure. Not to say he’s funnier or more interesting then anyone else. It’s just that I don’t see him as often as the others.
