Let's Play SABOTEUR II

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

"*You'll rue the day, Sullivan...*"
―Molly-Rose
## Notable moments

* The first rule of Board Game Club is "I can't stand it, I know you planned it".
* Who will *dig their way to glory* and which *boys have been beastie all along*?
* We've played this one a couple of times on Zoom, but this is the first in person and we're going with an expansion version with additional characters and card options.
* We have a marvellously funny Sullivan - Laurie ad.
* Laurie: "Sully-Dom? Is this to do with that slash fic that we found after the piglets?" - he'll suffer for that. Legally if nothing else.
* A couple of minutes in and the accusations start. Although Sullivan does make a good point - what are we digging mines for unless it's to make money?
* We worry about what kind of institutionalised bigotry school Rosie went to.
* Sullivan has graduated from hot boy to cute boy - he's got a head made of gold, the drawbacks of which are immediately evident.
* Tilly can't avoid looking at Laurie's cards, so she keeps her head made of silver turned to the other way. It kind of makes sense at the time, honestly.
* Molly-Rose evolves a complex series of eye-movement signals. Too complex for these chucklefucks, anyway. She's either got no short-term memory or she's a filthy liar.
* Being dicked on is a significant part of the game. Nobody wants to go all the way to the surface on their lunch break.
* When someone asks you a question, apparently it's entirely deserving of mockery to answer it. Sullivan is no longer cute or hot, he's a despicable nerd.
* Molly-Rose isn't sure how knock-knock jokes work. She bears a mean grudge though.
* Rosie is in prison but she's got her almost-sentient hand to keep her company.
* Molly-Rose: "I'll dig with my hands - cos I've got two. And they're both funny."
* Jon: "Anyone at the Comedy Store's watching - snap this one up!"
* Laurie has assumed the traditional host position - head in hands, thousand yard stare, reconsidering his life choices. "Whose fucking turn is it?"
* Tilly's taking her turn in song.
* Rosie's busted out, but damaged her hand in the process. She's now slightly less funny.
* Singalonga NRB: "Saba-saboteur" to the tune of an old BGC favourite *Give it Up*. "Discarding Cards" to the tune of David Bowie's *Starman* - apparently some of Sullivan's best work. "Tilling them softly".
* Rosie's hand is telling mean jokes at Molly-Rose's expense. The battle of the humourous hands.
* Molly-Rose is a big fan of noted teen rebellion comedy *Breakfast at Tiffany's*.
* Jon's baffled by the poisonous nature of apple crumble. He's not letting this go. Everything he doesn't understand is a Tik Tok thing. Tilly's assuring him there is no logic to be found here.
* Mouthing the words is slightly less helpful if those words are 'coal' and 'gold' and so are virtually indistinguishable. It's like Yanni and Laurel all over again. Sadly Rosie was making decisions based on that information. Whoopsie.
* The gold mining union is surprisingly toothless in this universe. Time to head for the dicking corridor to smoke and kick back.
* Tilly's tools are broken but she wasn't going to do any work anyway. She's cross that some of the others are working together though.
* Sullivan miming CPR on a lamp. That's a thing.
* JOKE OF THE DAY! Is it genius? No. Jon: "it's igneous". That's a kind of rock, you see. Do you see? It's a low bar today. But it is followed immediately by *Laurie's Hand Gesture of the Day*.
* Everyone is looking away to give Rosie the necessary privacy to place her card.
* Oh it's Tilly's turn. "I was just having a little nap with my eyes open."
* Rosie's played a bad card - but it has a lovely little hedgehog on it.
* *Black Sabbath* 's fans are apparently known as Saboteurs. That may be a lie. Rosie can't name a single Sabbath song.
* The team is now made up of saboteurs and people on crystal meth.
* Jon's getting distracted, this won't go well.
* The path is pretty much useless at this point, but there are still options for demolition and ladders.
* Molly-Rose and Laurie are cross. Jon's disappointed. Ouch, that may be worse.
* Sullivan: "Some of us aren't born with a crystal spoon in our mouth." Rosie: "That's a pickaxe."
* Laurie is furious - nobody likes a shared victory.
