Board Game Club

The **10 Hour Board Game Club Marathon For 50K Subs** was a ten-hour-and-twenty-four-minute livestream on the No Rolls Barred YouTube channel, hosted by Adam Blampied and Laurie Blake, with Laurie providing technical support (doing all the work). This one is a subscriber thank-you.

"*This is crazy that you're watching this - this is just a bunch of people playing live board games for hours. But thank you so much!*"
―Adam
It featured most members of the group, as well as some guests. They played 11 different games over the whole runtime, switching about every hour. This was pre-in person recordings and still under UK COVID restrictions, so is entirely online.

## Notable Events

### A Fake Artist Goes to New York

* Cast: Adam, Blair, Laurie, Oli, Sullivan, Tom
* Tom is mostly Ent and doesn't move when he doesn't have to. He has a peaceful inner core. We'd all watch a tv show of him standing in a field, with the occasional bird landing on his head.
* We've learned not to trust Blair. She's refusing to do her British accent.
* Adam's claiming he's performing, not lying. He's always confused passion and suspicion. He's trying to get Chat support for himself as the main draw.
* Even under the circumstances, these are some TERRIBLE drawings.
* We don't allow wrestling on this channel. Even accidentally.
* Tom loves an evil Southern Mayor and puts one into every RPG he runs.

Winner: Oli

### Wavelength

* Cast: Adam, Blair, Carley, Laurie, Oli, Sullivan, Tom
* Blair thinks that puppy death is the ultimate proof of the non-existence of God. We're keeping the stream light.
* Adam's trying to sabotage the sandwich debate.
* Carley emotes strongly at all times - that makes it difficult to play this kind of game with a camera pointing straight at you the whole time.
* Tom's intellectual bullshit steers Adam along the wrong path. Adam's starting to get quite cross about his lost points.
* Sullivan once had a suicidal cactus, possibly because it heard the suggestion of putting crisps in a peanut bully and jelly sandwich. Tom's now cross about the team's lack of logic.

Winner: Blair, Carley, Laurie and Sullivan

### Spyfall

* Cast: Adam, Blair, Dom, Isaac, Laurie, Tom
* Blair loves games about lying, as we know.
* Dom doesn't have Sullivan to be mean to - he's nice to everyone who isn't a complete moron.
* Adam always accuses Dom, Dom always claims to be innocent.
* Eat shit, Blair!
* Carley looks terrified, whether she's guilty or not.
* Time kills us in the end, leaving us with a 5 way finish.

Winner: Adam, Dom, Isaac, Laurie and Tom

### Saboteur

* Cast: Adam, Blair, Dom, Isaac, Laurie, Luke
* Isaac and Laurie are going to make Blair cry.
* Being a lone saboteur is a rough gig.
* Laurie's been playing for too long today to deal with Dom's shit.
* Adam says if we're enjoying their only-playful bickering, now would be a good time to subscribe.
* Luke enjoys the rare opportunity to be really bad. Blair's also revelling in it, for once.

Winner:  Game 1 Adam & Dom, Game 2 Isaac

### Snake Oil

* Cast: Adam, Blair, Dom, Laurie, Luke, Rosie, Sullivan
* Rosie Nicholls live and uneditable. In the game that brought us 'tummy sword'. Oh, that's low risk then.
* Blair folded space and time again.
* The rumour bubble is back. Oh no. But so's the time pig, and he is cute.
* Rosie is, in fact, a monster.
* Laurie's working through some stuff.
* What *did* Blair chick?
* Luke has now held all of the championships across the channels.

Winner:  Luke

### Secret Hitler

* Cast: Adam, Brooke, Dom, Jon, Laurie, Rosie, Sullivan
* In many ways, this is Dom's perfect game.
* Dom would never give up power and we would never put Sullivan in charge of anything. Rosie's representing for the sisterhood.
* Sullivan is President Kissing Policy, as we know.
* Brooke: "We are punctual in a fascist society if nothing else."
* Rosie could have been a fascist, incompetent or her own special brand of chaotic.

Winner:  Adam, Brooke and Rosie

### Skull

* Cast: Adam, Brooke, Elliott, Jon, Laurie
* It's potassium time - bananas all round. Adam and Laurie are fantasising about food. Adam is dreaming of pizza.
* This game is very beautiful, even on Discord.
* We hit 1000 likes during this game.
* Jon says it's a graveyard round here - skulls everywhere. But it's not called 'Flower', after all.
* Kiss my grits! (and call me Susan). It would be quite a soupy kiss.
* Singalonga NRB: 'What a little bastard'
* Adam's getting his smug in now. Captain Hubris has come a-calling.
* Brooke accidentally self-destructed. But then so did Adam. Elliot has a trustworthy fringe.
* Speed Skull doesn't necessarily mean you should go out at the very earliest opportunity. Neither does it mean that *not talking* is a valid choice for a YouTube livestream.

Winner:  Game 1 Elliott, Game 2 Laurie

### Dobbins or Bobbins

* Cast: Adam, Elliott, Jon, Laurie, Tom
* We have to have a brief bitch and moan about the way this was scored the last time we played it.
* Laurie's cat is very insistent.
* Elliott used to do roller derby and once got a concussion from being stepped on.
* Jon remembered *Electric Moses*, but not from the fact that it used to be one of their sketches.
* It's very unlikely that anyone on the internet will correct us on anything.
* Jon and Laurie are threatening to quit if *Colt of Cthulhu* is correct. Tom's very proud of it.
* Adam: "Tom speaks once every 10 minutes but it's always a mic drop."'
* *Inspector Horse* reminds Elliott of *Inspector Gadget*. Rather than *Inspector Morse*.

Winner: Laurie

### Codenames

* Cast: Adam, Elliott, Jon, Laurie, Tom
* Jon's first clue turns out to be very very terrible - the worst bit of boardgaming he's ever done.
* The red team gets a practical lockout.
* Laurie: "It could be much worse, you glorious bastards."
* Adam: "It's an absolutely liberty how long you guys are taking. How dare you?"

Winner: Elliott, Laurie and Tom

### Deception

* Cast: Adam, Elliott, Jon, Laurie, Pete, Sullivan, Tom
* Laurie's doing tech set up on the fly, it's very impressive.
* The game set up works well within the Zoom restrictions, but it looks like a lot of work for them.
* Tom tells a very vivid story. It closes the first case instantly. It was all about a 'smooth criminal'. Nice.
* Pete is not drinking blood though.
* It takes much longer to work through, second time, but again we get it on the first formal guess.
* Narrative symmetry for the win!

Winner:  Game 1 Elliott, Jon, Laurie and Tom, Game 2 Sullivan and Tom win

### Telestrations

* Cast: Adam, Elliott, Jon, Laurie, Pete, Rosie, Sullivan, Tom
* We get another glimpse of the tech secrets while Laurie sorts everything.
* In this game we have famously terrible artist Pete and famously unhinged lunatic Rosie. So we're expecting a calm end to the stream.
* Wingsuit simpleton!
* Rosie encounters the undo button.
* Sullivan becomes Scouse under pressure.
* Laurie: "Mum, can we get Pokemon? No we've got Pokemon at home".
* Yoga man!
* Sullivan: "Flowers can ejaculate many different fluids."
* There are some special moments in NRB history - some golden images we should all treasure. And among those moments, the greatest of all is arguably this: the face of Adam Blampied when faced with the drawing prompt 'tree vagina'. What a time to be alive. Adam: "I don't know. I don't know about this. I'm sorry. Please don't get offended."
* Singalonga NRB: 'Peanuts on the up'
* Sullivan drew sad identical twins who were in no way identical.

Winner:  Adam, Elliott, Laurie and Sullivan win
