BLACKJACK BATTLE - NRB Vs A Card Counter

**BLACKJACK BATTLE - NRB Vs A Card Counter** is the first episode of NRB Versus.

"*Just to clarify Steven - you are staking your reputation as a professional card counter on this game?*"
―Adam
In this episode, Team Beauzos (Dan, Holly and Sullivan) play Blackjack against a professional card counter, Steven Bridges. Adam is host and Blackjack dealer.

## Notable moments

* Adam: 'Daniel J. Layton - the J stands for Blackjack". Dan: "The J stands for genius. Genius at Blackjack".
* In case we were concerned at how *NRB* this new series would be, at 2 minutes in we get a BJ joke. And not long after, Adam looks straight down the lens to tell us he's never had any complaints about his penetration. (Dan has, though.)
* None of the Beauzos have really played before, although Holly did visit a casino in a farm simulator.
* Adam is deliciously proud of his research, which has opened up a whole new word of puns.
* Our team are very Oceans11 looking - at first. Once they lose the shades, Dan points out that they look more Apprentice contestants than high rollers.
* Adam is attempting to do some hosting, Sullivan is reckless, Holly is witching, Steven is predicting cards and Dan thinks it's magic.
* Steven: "This is a very accurate simulation of blackjack that ... will represent my ability in full". He's shifting slightly uncomfortably in his seat and questioning the ludicrous stipulation. We learn that he's not welcome in any casino in the UK and can't play in Vegas either. "It's the closest thing to robbing a bank ... without robbing a bank".
* Steven does have a plan: " I just have to hope that he [Sullivan] continues being mental".
* The Beauzos aren't learning much - Adam: "Chase your losses, that's what they tell you", Sullivan's almost out of money, Holly wants a VAR review and Dan is surprised that the secret to counting cards is ... counting the cards.
* Winners sound like slightly irritated newborn lambs: "Mweauh!"
* Adam is very slick: "I'm a fucking Blackjack dealer!" Nice tossing of the chip.
* Holly attempts to invoke Hecate, who doesn't seem to want to cooperate. She also attempts to put the card marker in her mouth (Holly, not Hecate. Probably.)
* We’ve decided that if Steven loses he has to quit professional card counting. If he wins he can kill one of the Beauzos. He and Dan are old friends, he met Sullivan a couple of months ago and Holly just this morning. But Holly seems really nice, and may make him cakes in the future, so…
* Dan: “What would Steven do?” Adam: “He’d get a natural blackjack – have you tried that?”
* Dan to Steven: “Don’t *Office*-look to camera after bad advice!” Steven: “I don’t have a team – I need to connect with the viewer!"
* Dan: "Peer pressure works on me like you wouldn't believe..."
* Team Beauzo win on the last hand - actually on Adam's last card.

Are you evil? (running gag)

**"Are you evil?"** is a running gag between Brooke and Sully during episodes of No Rolls Barred Plays Blood On The Clocktower. It began in the episode *Human Remains Of The Day* and eventually became the name of Sully's podcast and an episode of Clocktower itself.

## Instances

Very common, but including:

* In *Human Remains Of The Day*, Brooke was the Fortune Teller, Sullivan was the Butler. During their first private chat, they simply screamed "Are you evil?" at one another. Brooke shouted it 9 times, Sullivan 8. Sullivan later told town that it had been a productive chat.
* In *Catfishing* Brooke (who was evil) made the normal accusation, but Sullivan had already deduced that he was the Lunatic, not the Imp, so he was confident he wasn't.
* In *The Unbearable Madness of Being*, there was a variant of this *not* involving Brooke and Sully (as neither were in the episode). Instead, it was an exchange between Ken and Dom, with the former eventually claiming to be evil (despite being good).
* In *A God Damned Mess*, Dom revived the gag, to ask Sullivan. Neither of them were evil.
Board Game Club Champion

The **Board Game Club Champion** (**BGCC**) was the board game equivalent of the WWE Championship in the Board Game Club series. It was legendary, its prestige knew no bounds, and it was only held by the best at board gaming.

Despite its prowess, the rules for the BGCC are somewhat vague. In particular, once BGC moved to in-person play, the shooting schedule started to play havoc with continuity for the Championship. Our final formal Board Game Club Championship was awarded to Dom for *Let's Play MEAN GIRLS: THE PARTY GAME*, which was explained in *Let's Play DETECTIVE CLUB*. Henceforward, "this episode's winner" would be used instead.

Very occasionally the trophy still makes an appearance, but it's no longer linked to the Championship.

## Trivia

* Although Tom was the first to get a solo streak as BGCC, if one was to include team victories the first streak would be Elliott winning Wavelength and Secret Hitler.
* Laurie finished with the longest individual streak - 3 wins. Blair equalled that streak, but her 3rd win was as part of a team.

### Series

Lord of the Board

**Brian & Trudi Bloopers - LOTB Quarter-Finals** is the "blooper reel" for the commentary for the Lord of the Board tournament, containing outtakes from Brian Children and Trudi Trotters.

"*How do you feel about that being canon, Brian? ... You fuck horses?*"
―Adam
It's most famous in NRB lore for being the source of the canon information that Brian Children fucks horses, thus briefly establishing one of the few similarities between Brian and Sullivan.

Betrayal at Baldur's Gate (game)

**Betrayal at Baldur's Gate** is a game in which players explore an abandoned house, finding new rooms, fighting monsters and finding items in the Dungeons and Dragon's influenced city of Baldur's Gate. However, at one point, a player - or players - may turn on the others.

"*You're off to explore your own choices, are you? Yeah, in my day, you had to stick with the party! Never split the party!*"
―Dom

## Description

This is a game all about exploration and exploitation. Players explore a the city of Baldur's Gate as a party of Dungeons and Dragons inspired characters, picking up items and omens. If enough omens are gathered, they may trigger a haunt, in which a player may turn on the group and have their own objectives to fulfill.

Players begin with four stats - two physical, Might and Speed, and two mental, Knowledge and Sanity. If any drops to the skull after the haunt has begun, that player dies. The haunt is decided upon based on what the omen is and where it was found, with two books being included in the game: one which the heroes read, and one which only traitors may read. The game ends once either side's objective is complete.

Differing to Betrayal at House on the Hill, Betrayal at Baldur's Gate features unique mechanics - each preset character includes a power special to their class - a Wizard receives Magic Missile, a Monk receives Flurry of Blows, etc. Exploration is also different - instead of an upstairs, downstairs and basement, areas in Baldur's Gate are connected through coloured doors,

## Significant Moments

### Let's Play BETRAYAL AT BALDUR'S GATE

* A Baldur's Gate special for Spooky Month 2023! Tilly actually voices in Baldur's Gate III, meaning there are a lot of jokes and teasers about it.
* Much of the humour comes from the characters themselves - Dom's wizard is Dhadius the Scarlet, or Dhaddy to his friends; Tilly's paladin is called 'Grim' Grusk Mugtug, featuring a lot of speculation as to what a mugtug may be referring to.
* Despite all of Tom's rounds ending in pain and him being 'desperate to betray you all', it is Jon, the famous D&D-hater, to betray the group.

## Versions Featured

### Betrayal at Baldur's Gate

***Betrayal at Baldur's Gate*** uses the base mechanics of Betrayal at House on the Hill but is set in the world of Baldur's Gate, using new characters and items inspired by Dungeons and Dragons, as well as new haunts.

## Trivia

* Tilly Steele did voice work for the video game Baldur's Gate III.
Holly is not a bad loser

**"Holly is not a bad loser"** is an apparently undisputable fact according to Holly that was revealed in mid-2023 in *Let's Play FUN FACTS*.

In the episode, Holly reveals that she not only views herself as "not a sore loser" but in fact gives herself a "0 out of 100" in that quality. This shocks everyone else at the table, as well as most viewers in the comments. After this reveal, this description of Holly is routinely brought up in the rest of that episode and many subsequent other videos.

## Instances

* In *Let's Play FUN FACTS*, the cast assessed themselves from 1-100 in a number of categories, then ordered their scores from lowest to highest. When the prompt was "To what degree would you describe yourself as a sore loser," Holly caused incredulity and outrage when she placed herself low relative to everyone else. The incredulity and outrage skyrocketed when she revealed she put herself as a "0" sore loser. For further context, Sullivan, who the cast said they have never seen be a sore loser, put himself down as a "25". Jon summed up the cast's feelings with "No one in the world is a 0, let alone you".
* This argument was so striking (Adam described Holly as showing "a stunning lack of self-awareness") that it was trailed at a high level in the podcast episode which preceded its release, *NRB Unboxed - May 2023* and discussed again in the podcast which followed its release, *NRB Unboxed - June 2023*.
* In Let's Play THUNDER ROAD VENDETTA*,* Tilly can choose to target either Adam's car or Holly's car. Adam attempts to convince Tilly to go for Holly instead since "he is a 70 out of 100 sore loser" as opposed to Holly, who is a "0" and as such, won't retaliate as hard.

Ivy Cordova

Spoilers ahead!*This article contains spoilers for **Ivy Cordova from NRB Plays Call of Cthulhu**. Be warned!*

## Appearances

### Appears in

NRB Plays Call of Cthulhu

**Ivy Cordova** is a character played by Holly Musgrave in the series NRB Plays Call of Cthulhu.

"*I just cut a piece of my dress off… to try and bandage this fucking idiot.*"
―Ivy
Ivy is a musician from London who previously stayed at Reek Manor for some time. Everything about her exudes an easy and relaxed nature and she is constantly smiling. Her goals are shaped by her desire to understand what is happening and her previous knowledge of Reek Manor. She also has a habit of putting her arm through things.

## Appearance

Ivy Cordova has on pink lipstick and pink eyeshadow. Her hair is tucked behind her ears to reveal golden snake earrings, matching her golden snake necklace. She has a black feather boa wrapper around her neck and a loose necked dress adorned with a plethora of small rhinestones. She has some scabs on her hands and some calluses on her fingers. Her nails are painted dark red.

She's scarred on her back - which she normally manages to keep hidden.

She carries a pistol at her side.

## Personality

Ivy exudes confidence and easiness initially, preferring to stay at the edges of the room where she is constantly smiling but constantly watching, showing her potentially to be slightly paranoid. She is very charming, shown in her interactions with Nathaniel Fairmont as they both agree to aid the other in their intentions. She is kind but exceedingly careful, shown when Nathaniel breaks a ceiling on himself, bandaging him up but leaving him when he tries to go to the lake to find the book.

Within the series, she is notably close with Nathaniel Fairmont as she sees him steal Sir George Reek's wallet upon his death. However, they reconcile this and promise to aid the other.

## Biography

Ivy is the only one of the player characters mentioned to have previously been to/stayed at Reek Manor. She was educated there and last visited one year prior to the events of the series. Thus, she was aware of the rumours surrounding Scarlett Lindsey and knew Mr. Green upon seeing him again.

It is also implied that she suffered some form of trauma outside of her involvement with Reek Manor - in her introduction, it is revealed that Ivy has scabs and callouses along her hands and arms. In Peeps Unbound, she claims to Nathaniel that her scars were made by a human, "not shadows".

She also knew Martin Fisk at some point, although their relationship is never specified.

## List of instances

1. ↑ This one came with a bonus from Laurie - both Laurie and Holly chose as their 3 allowed last words 'Fuck Adam Blampied!'
2. ↑ This one is nonverbal, rendered as pointing at Adam and then flipping him off, as the rules of the game at this point forbid Holly from speaking.
3. ↑ This one is actually a "go fuck yourself Holly Musgrave"

He stated that "I will win twenty two games of Board Game Club, and if I do not, I will film myself playing -five times in a row- Monopoly. I have never been more motivated in my life."
* Despite Adam narrowly winning his challenge, for the *NRB Wish Charity Livestream!!*, Laurie wished for him to play a single game of Monopoly anyway.
* Surprisingly, not only does this not come up in *Monopoly, but COMMUNIST*, but Adam actually ends up genuinely enjoying that version of the game.

Bringing Sexy Backgammon

**Bringing Sexy Backgammon** is an episode of the Board Game History series. This episode is hosted by Adam.

"*If I had to pick one adjective to describe playing a board game - up here would be words like 'tense', 'exciting', 'funny'. And down here would be 'erotic'.* "
―Adam
This episode explores the history of *Backgammon* and its associated betting.

## Notable moments

* If someone invites you to a sexy party and asks you to bring a sexy boardgame, you'd have to say Backgammon, apparently.
* Adam's in the *Masterpieces* robe, talking about Will Wheaton being sexy, making sexy jokes and looking sideways at the camera. It's ... a thing.
* If you accidentally google something inappropriate, best remedy is to chuck the laptop out of the window.
* There's actual gammon.
* And jokes about city names.
* And the wrestling's leaking again.
* There's a really interesting narrative here about the idle pastimes of the idle rich and beautiful - movie stars, James Bond, music legends and Hugh Hefner.

House Rules tagline

Episodes of House Rules are usually **introduced with a tagline** describing what they do to the game, usually injuring or insulting it in the process. Over time, it has started to link to the house rule in a similar fashion to the first rule of Board Game Club.

The table below documents every one of these introductions, including any references or additional notes.
Hobbible

Dom Allen developed a character which speaks in an annoying voice, mispronouncing words, particularly "**hobbible**" for horrible. The character initially appeared during a Patreon-exclusive episode of Board Game Club but has reappeared intermittently across the channel since, and is primarily used to annoy Adam.

## Instances

* In *Let's Play 6 NIMMT (Patreon Exclusive)*, Dom was in a very disruptive mood. He began to develop a new annoying character whose chief characteristic is their mispronunciation of many words - hobbible is a favourite, but other words had consonant sounds inserted randomly into them. The cast all wavered between irritation and amusement, but Adam particularly complained. Dom decided to name his character 'Adam Blampied' to celebrate Adam's being the person most annoyed by it. It wasn't, at this point, an impression of Adam, just named in tribute to him. Adam eventually claimed repetition of the joke was bringing diminished returns and it would be dead soon.
* The filming of Season One of in-person No Rolls Barred Plays Blood On The Clocktower seems to have taken place only a few days later, since in several episodes, broadcast over several months, Dom is continuing with the catchphrase. It appeared first in *Ding Dom Merrily On High.*
* In *Paralegal Activity*, it does seem to be rattling Adam. And repulsing everyone else.
* By *God Is A Legion*, the Adam Blampied character seemed to have transitioned to becoming labelled an impression of Adam. It still had the same squeaky annoying voice and hobbible catchphrase.
* Still not dead in *A Magic, Grand Vizier*, but it only made a slight showing
* *Pure Self-Indulgence* had Dom playing as the homebrew character Adam Blampied, leading him to do the voice throughout and annoy Adam, who was his minion. This was just under six months after the original conception of the character.

Codenames (game)

### Episodes featured

Let's Play CODENAMES, 10 Hour Board Game Club Marathon For 50K Subs!!!, Let's Play CODENAMES II, Let's Play CODENAMES (Patreon Exclusive)

**Codenames** is a game in which two teams of players use word association in order to tick off certain words on a grid, all the while avoiding citizens or the dreaded assassin.

"*You might remember Codenames as the first ever Board Game Club we ever did! Why? Because it's mint, that's why!*"
―Adam

## Description

This is a game all about word association and risk. Two teams - one red, one blue - try to guess 8/9 nice words out of a five-by-five grid. Two members of each team are the spymasters, who know the grid and which words are theirs. The spymasters give one-word clues and a number, pertaining to how many words on the grid their clue relates to.

Their team must then discuss and choose the words they think relate to the clue, with the aim of getting all 8/9 of their words before the other team does. If they guess a card of the opposite colour, the opposite team gets a point. If they guess a neutral word, they must stop guessing. However, if they hit the black card - the assassin - they instantly lose.

## Significant Moments

### Let's Play CODENAMES

* This was the first ever Board Game Club!
* There is a lot of charm in this video - everyone is still finding out the vibe, there are a lot of giggles and gameplay that we know and love on NRB, but it's nice seeing the beginnings of it.
* Featuring Team 'Wrestletalk' (Luke, Oli, Laurie and Tom) and Team 'Of People Who Used To Work For Draughts Board Game Café (Or Still Do)' (Adam, Blair, Elliott and Isaac).

### Let's Play CODENAMES II

* This is the first time they play Codenames in-person. This video features Team 'The Odd Throuple' (Sullivan, Tilly and Tom) and Team 'Rocket' (Brooke and Laurie, featuring Adam as Meowth).
* There is immediate discussions and discourse over whether hyphenated words are allowed, including a discussion on whether semi-sweet was a real word.

## Versions Featured

### Codenames

***Codenames*** is the base game, a fun and easy party game with everyday words that can be linked in a variety of ways.

## Trivia

* Codenames was featured in the *10 Fantastic PARTY Games* and the *10 Zoom Games That AREN'T Terrible* Collection Starter videos.
* Codenames was the first video in the Board Game Club series.
* Codenames has also been featured in the No Holds Board series, *Codenames... BUT WRESTLING!*.
Clue - Full Playthrough

**Clue - Full Playthrough** is a full game version of the gameplay featured in *Is Cluedo Actually Good?*.

Luke does the intro, Adam does the rules explanation. The cast play using the mobile version.

Surprisingly, neither Laurie nor Blair really understand the rules. Blair works it out eventually. Luke struggles with the app.

Distractions during our playthrough include bickering about snacks, tormenting each other for not pressing 'end turn' and an intermittent game of shag/marry/kill for the Cluedo characters.
12 Rules of Board Game Etiquette

**12 Rules of Board Game Etiquette** was a sketch video released in 2021.

"*My love of board games is inseparable from my personality and if you don't have fun, I'm going to take it real personally. When are you going to come on over?*"
―AdamAdam, in a *slightly* exaggerated games night host persona, lists the rules of attendance at a board game night. These are:

1. Turn up on time
2. No talking
3. What to play
4. No phones at the table
5. God, I have no idea what's going on!
6. The Sullivan Rule
7. Proper card maintenance
8. Bad snacks
9. Licence to spill
10. No house rules, children
11. Hurry up
12. Have fun!
Dom hates Sullivan

**Dom hates Sullivan** is a long running gag between Dom and Sully, perpetuated by both.

Dom and Sullivan are actually old friends who were at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School together. Dom introduced Sullivan to Adam, which eventually brought both to No Rolls Barred and they will occasionally reassure the audience that they don't actually hate one another. For the most part, though, Dom will declare his intention to destroy Sully and will often actively work against him in games.

## Sightings

Very very common, but particularly:

* *Let's Play SABOTEUR* was Dom's first appearance on Board Game Club, and within 10 minutes of the start, Dom used a sabotage card on Sullivan despite them very evidently being on the same team.
* In *Let's Play A FAKE ARTIST GOES TO NEW YORK II* Dom continually attacked Sullivan's drawing and accuses him of being the fake, often on very flimsy evidence.
* *Let's Play HIT THE SILK*  Dom discarded the revolver: "I don't intend to shoot my friends and colleagues and Sullivan".
* *Let's Play MEAN GIRLS: THE PARTY GAME -* Lots of Sullivan-bashing and a suggestion that this may be Dom's main personality trait. It was also suggested that the real reason behind Dom's animosity was him being secretely in love with Sully, which both Sully and Dom denied.
* Sullivan was the one tormenting Dom in *A Real Boy* - by stealing his vote as the thief.
* In *Let's Play SKULL II*, Dom gave Sullivan some life advice, chiefly 'quit'.
* In *Let's Play THE ESTATES*, Adam directly accused Dom of secretly caring about Sullivan's happiness. Obviously Dom denied it.
* In *Let's Play 6 NIMMT*, Dom came to and all his friends were there - not Sullivan, though.
* At the end of *Let's Play AMONG CULTISTS*, Dom lost his mind after winning. Sully stated that he'd prefer to lose rather than winning alongside Dom.
* Dom played a convincing Stalin in *Monopoly, But COMMUNIST* and took special delight in causing Sullivan pain.
Holly can't shuffle

Holly is simply **unable to shuffle cards**. This was first explicitly discussed in *Let's Play SUSHI GO PARTY*.

## Instances

* In *Let's Play SUSHI GO PARTY* Holly tried to shuffle her own cards. Adam and Sullivan were visibly pained. Apparently this is not a bit - Holly 'shuffles' in the same way in even non-recorded games. Holly thought she did ok, "in comparison to the average Joe?" Sullivan says no, "You're much worse!"
* In *Let's Play HEAT: PEDAL TO THE METAL* Adam does some of Holly's shuffling for her, in the end.
* Holly's inability to shuffle was referenced by chat during the Twitch stream *Let's Play: Fog of Love! NRB x Twitch.*
Cassandra Bollocks

**Cassandra Bollocks** is a character played by Sullivan Beau Brown in *Johnny Bollocks: A Life Of Balls*.

Cassandra Bollocks is soft toy, possibly a monkey or lion, it's unclear. She's from the North East of England.

Cassandra met Subbuteo star Johnny Bollocks when she attended a match of his. Despite their difference in size and species, they were happily married. However, Cassandra was tempted to disloyalty by her attraction to Johnny's best friend and deadly rival, Dick Sprinkles.
Buttons

Spoilers ahead!*This article contains spoilers for **Buttons from Honey Heist**. Be warned!*

## Biographical information

### Current status

Presumed dead, killed by Queen Ebuzzibeeth after consuming the royal jelly

## Appearances

### Appears in

Honey Heist

**Buttons** is a character played by Dominic Allen in the series Honey Heist.

"*I'm so sorry I'm late. The traffic was... murder.*"
―Buttons
Buttons is a bear who is very good at impersonating a human.

## Appearance

Buttons is a tall black bear. He wears a tuxedo on his top half, but only Y-fronts on his bottom half. He always wears a wig and a hat, but has disturbingly human fingertips. As of Episode 2 and turning Full Bear, he loses the wig and hat, and the bow-tie is undone.

## Personality

Buttons is incredibly ominous, speaking in a monotonous tone and offering to send Preston's emails almost as a threat. As of Episode 2, he is much more erratic, attacking the securibee guards and fixating on his picnic baskets, being provoked into aggression at the mention of them.

## Biography

Prior to the heist, Buttons was involved as a test animal in the cosmetics factories, resulting in him now having oddly human fingertips. Implied through Preston asking, he appears to be an expert - or maybe just the most knowledgeable - on human IT.

As of Episode 2 in which he both turned Full Bear and consumed the royal jelly, he references his picnic baskets, which could either be an old fascination of his or senseless ramblings. He is technically the new Queen, although was killed by Queen Ebuzzibeeth, and so ended the Beetish Empire.

## Special mechanics

* Burrow Spell: You can dig at walking speed through soft earth.
* As of Episode 1 - Full Bear. Stats are set at 1 Criminal, 5 Bear for the rest of the game.
2.63

**2.63** was a wildly incorrect yet winning answer given by Blair in *Let's Play WITS & WAGERS*. It is referenced when Blair is incredibly confident in an answer.

The question was "How many babies are born every minute in the world?" Most guesses were in the thousands, and Blair was roundly mocked for her guess of 2.63. When the correct answer was revealed, Blair was closest (although still out by several hundred). She eventually won the game and the others withdrew all criticism.

## Instances

* In *Let's Play WAVELENGTH*, she was introduced as the "defending 2.63 Board Game Club Champion". Confident in her answer for a round in which Elliott was the psychic, she said "I *am* right about 2.63", to which Oli responded "you were still hundreds off!" Later, she said she wanted to spin the wheel 2.63 times.
* *Let's Play SKULL* had Blair incredibly confident that she could turn over four cards without getting a skull, prompting Adam to say "2.63!"
* In *Let's Play WITS & WAGERS II* the cast remarked that it had been a very long time since they last played this game. Blair shouted "2.63!" and asked if anyone remembered that.
Battleship - Full Games

**Battleship - Full Games** is a full game version of the gameplay featured in *Is Battleship Actually Good?*.

We go straight into the first game.

* Laurie and Luke play the classic one-shot version - taking turns with single shots.
* Blair and Luke play the original salvo multi-shot version.
* Adam and Luke play the no-info salvo version.

Distractions from our playthroughs include Laurie and Luke speculating about the current popularity of Board Game Club players, particularly in comparison to Laurie's cat Terry, Adam and Luke having massively different strategies and lots of people saying the iconic line 'you sunk my battleship!' Luke also does a fantastic line in non-sweary swearing ('bums on seats' is a particular classic).
How Monopoly Helped WW2 Prisoners 'Get Out Of Jail Free'

**How Monopoly Helped WW2 Prisoners 'Get Out Of Jail Free'** is the first episode of the Board Game History series. This episode is hosted by Adam.

"*Well done Monopoly, your baffling popularity helped thousands of prisoners to their freedom in one of the worst times in human history. If only you were less shit.*"
―AdamThe episode explores the real story of how Monopoly was used to smuggle tools to prisoners of war during World War II.

## Notable moments

* If a joke is worth doing once, it's worth doing over and over again.
* We have costumes, we have props, we have wrestling jokes.
* One of the branches of British military intelligence during World War II produced inventions to help spies.
* Silk maps were among the most valuable things to smuggle to soldiers behind enemy lines.
* Waddingtons started as a print house, not a games publisher.
* Board games with maps, compasses and tools hidden between the layers of cardboard of the board could be sent in care packages from fake charities to prisoners of war.
* Other board games were sometimes intercepted on the way, but Monopoly never was.
* Declassified documents suggest 10,000 people may have been saved by the smuggled objects.
* Adam said the thing.

"*I am the sewing master. You are not even an apprentice.*"
―Blair
## Notable Moments

### Pre-match

* There are very high production values - awesome opening credits, great music, nice idents, PIP commentary. It's lovely
* We meet Brian Children and Trudi Trotters, the greatest commentary team in history.
* Brian: We're going to decide who the greatest board game player in the world is." Trudi: "Starting with 8 people from No Rolls Barred..." Brian: "who are most closely located to the studio. And available." Trudi: "...and cheap".
* Adam does the teach in voiceover.
* Adam's mum is at ringside to remind him he’s a precious little prince, who is nonetheless terrible at board games.
* Our promos are glorious – history, trash talking, drama. We have everything.
* Adam gets to indulge his inner heel. Blair trying to be threatening is merely adorable.
* Adam: "I've known Blair for years, she is my son. And I’m going to fucking step on her."

### Game 1

* Commentary claims this is almost boring, but Brian is contractually unable to say so.
* Adam starts to torment Blair over the piece choice standoff, but he's the one that breaks first.
* Trudi: "From an average person this would be a good turn. But for Adam it’s truly miraculous."
* Trying to psych Blair out would work better if she was listening. Blair lets Adam win to make him feel better.
* In the post-match talking heads, Blair says she'd used a strategy that she doesn't normally use, and won't do that again. Adam says he is going to break her now, because he has the advantage.

### Game 2

* They're planning nice quilts this time, rather than strategy. That doesn't last.
* This one isn't about gameplay, it's all about the psychology.
* Blair breaks early and Adam feels guilty.
* Laurie: "My notes say ‘Blair is eating herself alive, she has lost it completely. She is speaking more and more like a witch, muttering about buttons’."
* Adam is wondering if this tournament may have been a bad plan.
* At this point, Blair is mostly squeaking and talking to the buttons. Adam's trying to appeal to their shared history, talking about how long they’ve been friends. She isn’t having any of it.
* Neither of them are doing well, but Adam is coping much better.
* Blair is hysterical, Adam feels terrible, Laurie suggests pulling the fire alarm.

### Post-match

* Brian has lost everything betting on Blair - the loansharks are circling.
* In the post-match, Adam says he will try and salvage his relationship with Blair, but he's focussing on the next round: "Will I be playing a lovely game with one of my cuddliest friends, one of my bestest boys and my new boyfriend? Or will I be playing against a c\*\*\*?"

## Scores

* **Game 1** - Blair 12, Adam 25
* **Game 2** - Blair 1, Adam 18
