Let's Play TRIAL BY TROLLEY

## ★ ADAM'S CHALKBOARD ★

**Let's Play TRIAL BY TROLLEY** is a video in the Board Game Club series.

"*I don't even need to hear from you guys, because let's face it - you're winning.* "
―Sullivan
## Notable moments

* The first rule of Board Game Club is "incredibly revealing about your personal ethics".
* Do our players *have what it takes to solve the trolley problem*?
* Our hellos are -bobs today. Except for Laurie.
* All hail the Tower of Destiny! renamed as the Castle of Choice.
* We don't know what noise a Trolley makes. Jon suggests we tweet @ElFakidor with our suggestions.
* We just need a 'kiss my grits' and we have a full NRB bingo card in the first couple of minutes.
* Adam and Tilly starting strong - they have everyone under 15 years old on their side. Laurie and Sullivan are going to have to come up with something really special to beat that.
* Jon is easily led by song - Adam and Tilly pull out the Crowded House.
* Tilly: "It looks like a butt plug, and that's not fun for anyone. So I've heard." We agree that there's very little point of a butt plug without googly eyes. Jon thinks Laurie is probably an expert and should have an opinion, although not if he hasn't bothered to look at the picture. Adam adopts a thousand yard stare.
* Jon: "(imitating Laurie)'Oh I wasn't looking at the thing I have an opinion on!' You just chip in randomly when you haven't even looked at it!"
* Bizarrely the butt plug AI may be carrying some weight. Sullivan has a very vague understanding of technology. Enslavement may only last 20 minutes, who's to say?
* Our final arguments are Adam: "A planet full of people that can't die is a planet that is doomed to die." vs Laurie: "Meesa Jar Jar Binks". It's a toughie.
* Yet another piece of board game art modelled on Laurie.
* One of Laurie's choices is to kill everyone currently at the table. I mean... not a choice I'd have allowed him, to be honest. He'd be fine with that on a normal day. Killing Adam and getting the channel is something of a not-very-secret ambition for Laurie, surely?
* Adam: "You're going to rob the world of Sullivan Beau Brown? ... Sullivan, be more charming!"
* Jon to Laurie: "Someone round this table is thinking some really terrible stuff about you right now!" Adam: "He knew that."
* We may have offended the mime community. Laurie's going to read all the comments they write anyway. He likes to feed his hate.
* Laurie consults the big book of grudges - lots of cast names in that today. "That's the thing about grudges ... they never end. And if everyone at the table is dead, who gets to inherit the channel?"
* Sullivan is a big fan of Mozart, chess and kids. In that order. His parents look exactly as we'd hoped and appear to own a waterbed. He may be more selfish than we thought, though.
* Tilly doesn't quite come up with the winning argument. Sullivan writes in Laurie's book.
* Adam's considering rejecting his dad for a cute dragon. A perpetually horny dragon. He won't care about cleaning up the kids, but he won't want to clean up after the dragon.
* We should discuss the logistics of collecting a dead dragon's penis. Shouting 'rigor mortis' repeatedly.
* Sullivan: "Oh yeah, the kids are there as well, I forgot about them."
* Adam gets to make a 'how I *trained* my dragon' joke.
* Tilly's trolley has 7 hen parties on board, so she's already ready to die.
* Nobody can kill Keanu Reeves, surely?
* Tilly: "I'm a right-wing Conservative, I thought you could tell that from the moment you met me."
* Jon is more sceptical about world peace than he was about a googly-eyed butt plug AI.
* There's a radical claim that unicorns famously grant wishes. Laurie claims this is historical knowledge and as we all know, *that's* hitting Sullivan where it really hurts. Sullivan gets quite cross about that.
* Jon: "Use your head Sully, I'm embarrassed for you!"
* A final blow, with the appearance of the world's most obnoxious improv troop.
* Adam: "Fuck your undo button!"
* Tilly: "I don't want the publicity - I don't want my name in the press." Adam: "You're an actor!"
* Tilly based her entire decision on not being able to see the card properly. Again.
* Sullivan lost every single round, Jon lost none at all.
