You don't need the alien powers to be balanced in this game to have fun, and that's the goal of it. It's not like MtG or something with a competitive scene. Having aliens with differing power levels makes the game varied and replayable, it adds unpredictability and can make for some incredible gaming moments. It's a decision, not laziness.

I play this game a lot with my coworkers, except we always try to win solo for as long as we can be arsed to. Makes a game last hours, but the feeling of a solo victory in a game with a bunch of opponents is delicious!

"Crunch some numbers, baby!"

Cosmic encounter is one of my favourite board games of all time! It is so nuanced, and there is a moment halfway through your first or second game where it clicks and you realise how fantastically socially strategic it is

The one true sport of Calvinball finally getting its just recognition (even if only in reference). Thanks BDG!

46:04 Now, if I'm not wrong, since Brian's card says "before any other effects are applied", it would only divide Clayton's *10* by three, then it would have 23 subtracted from it, and then his human card would turn it back into a 42, so he would have actually won against Brian 56 to 31. And even if the subtraction happened after the 42, it would still be 33 to 31. Regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed the video as always. Please never stop making Overboard.

actually my theory is that simone serves the literary purpose of the everyman, like watson in sherlock holmes or nick carraway in the great gatsby. she is the vessel by which the viewer relates to and understands the world, ie the events of each episode of overboard. that's why she's the only one who catches on to being gaslighted by brian in werewolf (though she is quickly convinced afterwards) and she begins to graffiti the stars in cosmic encounter when the viewer too is confused by the events that occur.

watching brian trying to stack his ships is

That ending is the perfect insane cap to this adventure.

I love Union Aunt Jenna's vibes in this. So supportive yet so cunning

I feel like pacifist could be really really good in the right hands. Let me see if I can describe this You are pacifist and you trigger your ability. You win/tie with an N card Your opponent wants to minimize their losses, aiming for a tie and playing an N You can use this as a mind game and play an attack card, but if they predict it and play an attack you can still win the classic way. In short, it makes the 4 possible outcomes of the battle into 2 wins a tie and a tossup, much better than normal.

They're like a big, nerdy, dysfunctional family.

I think this is my favorite Overboard. I've watched it maybe five times at this point. Something about playing a game that's essentially Calvinball masquerading as a carefully structured, rules-based experience is perfect for the chaotic Polygon crew.
