"*Isn't it fun to just play games with your friends though?*" [To no-points Sullivan]
―Adam
## Notable moments

* The first rule of Board Game Club is "forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza".
* Let's *get stealthy, sharpen our shurikens and check the shadows as the sun sets*.
* Social deduction games always work well on BGC and this is a fun little example.
* Rosie's t-shirt is fantastic.
* Laurie doesn't think he looks good in a balaclava and "only a ginger can call another ginger ninja".
* I think Rosie retains approximately 27% of the information provided for any given game, but it doesn't seem to harm her playing at all.
* Blair is the least ninjary ninja.
* No-one wants to look at Adam. That's like his worst nightmare, right?
* Chaos arrives at about 8 minutes.
* We all chose killy stabby cards.
* Adam: "I can say 'fuck it'".
* Rosie says kill Isa, even though there is literally no waying of knowing what she is. Laurie thinks this is a good idea because of the meta - we always kill Blair.
* Adam lying would be very on-brand. Although Sullivan just described Rosie as 'sweet', so is his judgement sound?
* Superb editing on this one - James? We get lovely card explanations intercut to the game.
* Singalonga NRB: 'Who do I choose?'
* Crane impressions are ... variable. The lotus impressions are so much worse.
* Rosie WAKES UP. Good ninjaring. She's inscrutable, for certain values of inscrutable.
* Adam and Blair and the big sibling energy.
* Who would be the best and worst real ninjas? Sully would giggle and give himself away, plus Blair imagines him bumbling around.
* Blair is looting the boss's house before he gets killed.
* Adam persuades Blair to kill Laurie, only slightly to help the Cranes and mostly to pay her back for stealing his point. There's layers, is the thing.
* Eat shit, Blair!
* Sullivan's going scorched earth - he's no pants Brown today. He doesn't wear trousers to Board Game Club apparently - we knew there was a reason he never stood up, and that nonsense about being wedged in by the chair never seemed convincing.
* Laurie checks Adam's card...
	+ Laurie to Adam: "I love you".
	+ Blair: "A very special episode..."
	+ Adam: "No-one's ever heard those words from Laurie before".
	+ Laurie: "Somewhere a hole in reality was ripped open. Japan is now underwater."
* Rosie's a bastard. She's certainly a ninja master.
* There's a suspicion that Sullivan's got no points because he's a fucking idiot.
* Rosie: "I absolutely didn't know what was going on until it was far too late."
* Sullivan's choosing chaos, of course.
* Adam: "Rosie, look at the malice in his eyes - kill Sully".
* Fine win in that last round, pulling that out of the bag at the last moment. Although Adam didn't ultimately know what house he was in.
* Apparently the best way to bluff is to completely forget the truth. Cheese blindness all over again.
* Unlikely winner, Sullivan - wang!
