Let's Play JAMAICA

## ★ ADAM'S CHALKBOARD ★

**Let's Play JAMAICA** is a video in the Board Game Club series.

"*I love this serotonin - where can I get more?*"
―Adam
## Notable moments

* The first rule of Board Game Club is "SOS, I hear them shouting, SOS, I hear them calling". (This is a reference to professional wrestler Kofi Kingston's entrance theme, because of his initial gimmick of a stereotypical Jamaican.)
* Who will be *the fisherman's friend* and who will be *bully in the alley*?
* Oh lord, we have pirate accents and themed hellos. And pirate puns. There's a razor thin line between pirate and farmer.
* Our background music is *What Shall We Do with the Drunken Sailor?* Nice.
* All hail the Tower of Destiny, temporarily renamed the Captain's Castle.
* Tom just did a voice! He claims he does silly voices all the time.
* Tom's character is known for his biting insults: "You want me to hurl some verbal abuse at you, Teri? What a stupid thing to ask."
* Jon's attempting the pirate blues. With limited success.
* Tilly has a new catchphrase - 'doubloons!' it may be the only thing she says all episode.
* Singalonga NRB: 'Four in the morning, five in the evening' 'Gunny P'
* Jon is accidentally fighting Sullivan, but it ends much better than he thought it would.
* Crowded House: *Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over.* Tilly was earlier telling Jon how much she liked them - this was in no way coerced.
* Laurie's naming party food. His pirate provides a buffet.
* Tilly's feeding her favourite sailor a crumb of cheese. His name is Gary the Sailor. He's a bit sleepy now, plus he's being terribly bullied by the other pirates. He let her down in the end, though. Tom's taken him.
* Tilly: "I crush Tom and that's how it should be. I crush all men."
* Tilly's treasure doesn't reek, that's Tony, her least favourite crew member.
* Laurie is going to spend all his gold at an outlet store - not Pri-maaaaark, but TK Yar.
* Muns is trying to make a comeback. Gah. It's joined by nums and gunny-p. Sigh.
* Pirate Steve has to eat the cannonballs, we've painted the tops and told him they're Christmas puddings.
* Laurie: "Jon's just sailing around screaming 'I don't want to do this!'"
* Jon's really enjoying this, now he's winning.
* Poor Gary is now a human safe - all the coins are now in his stomach.
* Laurie once again is the one thinking and planning strategically.
* Adam to Sullivan: "You're going to blast the living shit out of me, aren't you? I didn't consider this really".
* The poor ship's dog is having a terrible time on this voyage.
* Adam: "Everyone does have a theme for their boat and I don't want to go into it too deeply, but I guess mine's the fuck boat? "
* Laurie's in Sullivan's head, but it doesn't stop him rolling well.
* Tom and Adam are now fighting for gold, in Gary. Adam: "Gary's going to get fucked on Good Ship Bonnie! I'm going to make you jingle-jangle, my boy!" Nope.
* Tom: "Do I have a theme for my boat? yeah, it's *pirate* themed."
* Sullivan to Tilly: "My happiness doesn't make you sad!" Tilly: "Yes it does."
* Laurie: "Do I have a theme? ... I'm just sailing around the ocean having things taken from me, achieving fucking nothing. No I don't have a theme. I'm an aimless wanderer of the ocean at this point."
* Sullivan's boat says choo choo or vrum vrum.
* Tom gets in a double pun: 'sailor-sea!'
* Gary's moving on to Sullivan. Sullivan has the football boat. Of course he does. Hourly football, with a single hour of calligraphy every day.
* CHELSEA JOKE OF THE DAY! Sullivan's sailing on the chel-sea.
* Adam and Sullivan are bickering.
* Adam: "I think this kind of year-long odyssey is starting to take its toll on me mentally, to be honest. I don't want to lose any more games." Jon: "Luckily it's June, mate - nearly over." Adam: "No no, we're recording this in June, Jon. It's July." Tilly: "Is it a self-fulfilling prophecy at this point?"
* Gary and Sullivan may have handed the game to Jon in the end. Adam and Tilly (erroneously, as it happens) don't get a final turn as Sullivan passes the finish line.
* Sullivan is genuinely apologetic. Adam makes him update the board as penance.
* Tilly to Jon: "You love to point cruel things out to this man who's on the edge!" Adam says he's come back a little from the edge of insanity. Adam and Tilly get their last turn in the end.
* Tilly still hasn't won at Board Game Club, but she does come 2nd a lot.
* Adam won the moral victory, but there's no chalkboard for that.
