## Notable moments

* The first rule of Board Game Club is "like drinking poison, like eating glass. Bonus points if you guess where that one is from."
* Who's going to be *the pretty prince of the party* and who's going to find themselves *artistically blocked*?
* Not four minutes in, Holly reveals that before the video, she has knocked over two cameras, thrown her microphone on the floor twice, threw a monitor on the ground, and her own mic pack. It's a low dexterity day.
* His real name is Tempest Tempest. Or Barnaby Higgenbothom, the man with the longest feet on the Tube.
* Laurie's got an advantage in this game - he's older than everyone else. He's used to 8-bit and his eyes have gone square. The Super Mario Movie to him just looked like Super Mario.
* Poor Blair got the First-Aid sign wrong. Cue the bullying!
* Laurie and Tempest are fighting for the reds. It's very loud for a kids' party game.
* Holly: "I'm really concerned about what Blair's done." Blair: "It's perfect." Holly: "Is it?"
* Laurie's picture is so bad that Blair can't be bothered to steal. Not even the Teri steal can make it. Laurie: "This is an injustice!"
* Teri is an absolute menace this episode - insulting Laurie's art and starting the clock before the players decide, prompting the most unintentional scream Laurie has ever done on Board Game Club.
* Laurie's attempt at a unicorn offends everyone. Holly: "Oh god, what the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck? Oh, what the fuck, man?" Tempest: "I feel better now." Blair: "That's just an egg that's, like, had it's yolk exploded. That's not a unicorn."
* Blair's faces while people get closer to what her picture is are a highlight of the video. Pure pain.
* It's Peanut Butter Teri Time!
* Blair is Toad! Laurie's made a Captain Toad level.
* Holly knocks over her carrot. Laurie: "Fruit Ninja Block Party Edition." Tempest: "Shout out to Fruit Ninja!"
* Even the mention of Laurie's big book of grudges is enough to rally the troops. Laurie: "But at night the book calls my name. It says: 'Read me. Take a name. Walk out into the night, walk down the street, walk for hours. Bloody, bare feet padding on the pavement. A squelch outside the window. Hot breath on cold glass as I peel it open... and then back to sleep." Holly: "I'm going to need some security!"
* The tie-breaker round is heartbreaking, although Laurie's final masterpiece is woefully misunderstood.
* Tempest: "Do you feel like a winner, Blair?" Blair: "No." Laurie: "Go on, Blair, build yourself a trophy."
