Let's Play UNFATHOMABLE

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

"*Nothing in this game is given without a spoonful of shit from the designers.* "
―Laurie
## Notable moments

* The first rule of Board Game Club is "do not call up that which you cannot put down".
* Who amongst us is *working for the great evil*?
* Yay, a hidden traitor game. We like these too.
* Laurie is captain who needs a speaking trumpet to be obeyed. Brooke is the first mate with a gun. Adam is a little rich boy with a cursed ring who 'helps'. Jon is a magic boy who can sort loyalty cards and can cast spells. Sullivan is the ship's surgeon with an accent which possibly put Tom off from joining this game.
* Adam: "I'm an entitled, upper-class, slightly snobby Brit who's fallen on hard times... I'm going to have to really search inside myself to find his character voice."
* Jon's showing off his less-than-encyclopaedic wrestling knowledge again.
* We can play along or see the traitor - that's not happened for a while.
* The cast all closed their eyes, adorable.
* Call back to Adrian Bumblefuck - Laurie's already a much better captain on account of he's not set fire to anything important or immediately attracted a monster. Yet.
* Jon has books, but our suspicion is that he's mostly been using them as free weights.
* We're definitely going to win, nothing can go wrong. Oh no, in fact we're tearing ourselves apart. This is the same turn, I should point out. The first turn of the game, in fact.
* We have slightly dumbed down the cards, we're simple folk.
* Laurie has tragically leaned in to the speaking trumpet idea. Sullivan is no longer giving us the most annoying voice.
* Ah the monsters have arrived. Mommy Hydra's going to damage the ship.
* Jon's collecting brilliant bits of erotica.
* WRESTLING FACTS WITH JON GRACEY! Paul Bearer is the Undertaker's manager, apparently. Jon must have been googling. Mommy Hydra hates wrestling so she's leaving.
* Fire motivates the ship to go faster. Sullivan thinks the fire spell is just Jon with matches.
* So Captain Laurie chooses our card for the next wave of movement.
* Jon has made fire by adding coal to more fire in the boiler room - so that's a pickle.
* We're risking passengers rather than the ship at this point. Captain's call. The passengers are going to see the fish people, but Laurie's trying to tempt them back with 2-for-1 cocktails in the lounge.
* So under Captain Laurie, we've set fire to the ship, the passengers are stealing the food, there are fish people on the boat and crew morale is poor. And yet we're still apparently feeling inspired by the magical speaking trumpet.
* Brooke: "I think it's super suspicious that Sullivan has so many cards and is so shit" Although to be honest, there's a grudge going on from earlier in the day. Adam finds Sullivan's shitness suspicious too.
* We don't need medicine, we have magic i.e. fire. That's our answer to everything.
* Jon's English degree is finally coming in useful.
* Jon's standing up to his fishy family, it's a huge moment of growth but... Adam: "Jon, it's your choice - do you trust me to do the thing that we've all been planning for me to do?" Turns out that Jon trusts Adam but doesn't trust his own trust. Sometimes we need a leap of faith though.
* Now Jon's cousins are attacking him one by one, but he's beating them back. Except for the last one, whoopsie. You can't choose your family. Now the cousin attacks Sullivan.
* We cast the ritual, the monsters fuck off. Hoorah! Trouble's not over yet though.
* WRESTLING FACTS WITH JON GRACEY! The wrestler Golddust has a sparkly gold leotard - Sullivan is slightly more enthusiastic about this than Adam or Laurie.
* Jon's magic is once again little more than shoving people out of rooms and talking to them.
* Adam's starting to get suspicious of Laurie, but how much of that is the meta is completely unknowable. They've played together for more than a year at this point and they're working each other out. Laurie's claiming Adam's actually suspicious, in retaliation. They're getting awfully sassy.
* Sullivan and Laurie are biffing monsters in the galley. We're halfway to Boston.
* Team Rocket are traitors? They just weren't listening. Jon's suggesting that they're communicating telepathically. We're all turning on one another.
* Jon's feeling hopeless at this point and looking to surrender. He's slightly unravelling. Nope, he's completely unravelling.
* Sullivan's starting to think that there may be a traitor amongst us. He misses nothing, that one.
* Laurie's defending himself on maths grounds.
* Brooke: "I'm a human, with legs". She's going to kick the hybrids, with her human legs. That's convincing.
* We've got monsters everywhere and we're starting to panic.
* Jon's so convinced Laurie is evil that he's started to rename his cousins after him. What a Defeatist Danny.
* We're starting to fight back against the monsters, after the 'worst turn in the history of board games'.
* Adam's going to come and help. Help something anyway.
* Sullivan: "What a horrible little nasty man, betraying me for fish". Adam: fish kiss!
* Adam's displaying his customary measured, thoughtful response to winning - although it's not finished yet.
* Laurie's still denying he's the traitor but he's getting very outraged about it. Adam's positively gleeful - he's gone as far as Yoda impressions. Jon is absolutely losing his shit. Brooke and Sullivan just wanted a holiday and some tasty baked goods.
* The traitors are just playing with their food now. It's a massacre.
* Jon: "You smug son of a bitch... fuck you... even in victory you are the smuggest..."
* Adam: "It's nice for once to see eye-to-eye with Laurie... and murder every man, woman and child aboard this ship."
