Hey I doubt anyone at NRB will see this, but I have to say something. I adore your content, and have loved watching episodes in the past, but I can no longer watch any of your videos. My hearing has gotten to the point where I cant distinguish voices easily, especially when they are so similar. And KZreads autogenerated captions are absolutely terrible. Please consider adding subtitles to your videos, or at least give a transcript of the episode, so that the hard of hearing may enjoy your content as well

Believe it or not, but Molly was actually so much closer to Sully at the end than they thought. She should have ended with 99 instead of 85. I caught 2 things while watching. During the third race at around the 35 minute mark, Laurie rolled 10 twice in a row but didn't do the 3 extra spaces, which should have put it tied for 3rd thus giving Molly 12 extra dollars. And then in the last round, Molly misunderstood her card as getting 1 extra dollar for winning red bets when it was actually increasing the red bet multiplier by 1, which would have given her 3 extra dollars instead. So Sully would still have won, but by only 1 dollar.

Please consider filming a second playthrough of this game. I found it highly entertaining!

This is the perfect game for the cool and collected Jon Gracey...

I like to imagine that before every race, Sully went to the stables and personally talked with each horse and placed his bets based on what the horses told him...while Molly-Rose just showed up to horse racing with a giant mug of beer and drunkenly placing bets while spilling beer in a 20 meter radius around her and screaming like Big Tom from the pub down the corner when his football team scores a goal

Definitely did not expect to derive so much entertainment from a game that just involves repeatedly throwing dice. Laurie's sportscasting energy is awesome

Molly-Rose's reaction to Mike winning at 37:30 is an all-time great NRB moment.

The rush from anticipation, the wait, the direction the game swings (especially when it sways back and forth), and being sold on the idea of a MAJOR cash prize if you bet right. The last bit is the hook in hore racing.... you can read up stats and the history of the horse and make an "educated" guess on the winner. Horse racing brings out the wild side of some people.

Horse rules!

This is not the sort of game I would ever own, but after watching this I'd love to play this at a convention. This was the most absolute absurd chaos, and I'm HERE FOR IT. Probably more than just about any other game I've seen on this channel, I'd love to have it make a second appearance. Kudus to a hilariously fun time!

This is taking me back to my childhood where we had a game called 'and they're off'. It was like this but instead of dice rolls it was card draws. You could also adjust the odds of each horse based on various factors. Lots of fun, especially for the commentator

First round... good old John is back, guys... ;-)

I normally prefer hidden role games, but this was super fun. I'd watch this every day.

This game was so hype. Made me want to start throwing bets down on the table!

Being a Michael... this was a strange experience.

That's Numberwang!

This was a bizarrely hype video.

Love the addition of Molly-Rose and Lorna! They add a new dimension (and new chaos) to NRB! 😜🤣👍🏻🤙🏻

Watching the cast's faces during the whole sequence from 35:30 - 36:00 is absolutely amazing

Laurie: "Jon you do owe me $3 but don't have any." Jon: "How bout you take three of these?" [Flips off Laurie] Sully: "You've only got two." 😂

Let's do the pay outs for Michael....no one bet on him! 😂😂😂😂😂 GO MICHAEL!!!

The energy in this episode was off the charts.

This feels like an advert for the ups and downs of gambling 😂

ITS THE BEST TIME OF THE WEEK!!! ITS BOARD GAME CLUB!!!

Michael, Michael, and Mike are all in a line!

That 'pineapple flavor' exotic finish joke was an amusing dirty joke that deserves recognition.

For anyone who is curious, you can protect the chips in coin capsules. 28mm for a tighter fit but they barely fit. 30mm are slightly looser but feel closer to the size of actual poker chips. Cool timing by the way as I recently ordered this game and am looking forward to getting it to the Game Nights at my local geek shop.

When Laurie said he was glad they're robbing each other and not the bank... I immediately thought Western Legends "Why you with me Wild Bill?!"

Of course Sully plays a game containing so many HORSES!! He must be thrilled. 😍😏 Happy New Year, everyone!

Watched 10 mins of play to see if I wanna buy the game, and stayed for the whole damn video! Thanks for being so entertaining y'all!!

Oh an absolute banger. Molly's primal "YEEEEES" is exactly the moment I want to have with my group. Time to buy this game! Edit: rewatched that moment, and I can absolutely hear the ducking audio - it was so primal! 😂

"Is your name not Bruce then? That's bound to cause a little confusion. Mind if we call you Bruce just to keep it clear?"

So, that was a thrilling episode. I thoroughly loved watching it. I was figuratively at the edge of my seat watching in anticipation for each round's results. Laurie's announcements were great too.

This now has to be one of my favorite episodes! Love the content..keep it up!

I just bought Herd Mentality today after seeing it on sale and remembering how fun it looked watching them play it!

This game was a blast to watch it would be awesome if you could do a second one of this.

37:30 I think Molly Rose just became everyone’s spirit animal after this 😂 Love being the announcer for this game, with the right group it’s always an amazing time!

Should had terri do the rolls and horse moving.

Anyone who bet on Micheal was kidding themselves, Michael was clearly the better bet!

Laurie forgot to charge Jon that 3 he owed to the bank and also 2 from last bet, so Jon's actual score should have been 5 lower :)

Excellent horse-dice-announcing from Laurie!

This game is just brilliant at parties. I love all your playthroughs NRB, and this one is really fun too. The only tip would be to actually place the Place and Show arrows to the right of the Place and Show bet boxes on the board to indicate only those bets pay off, instead of placing it on the right most part of the board. That makes it a lot clearer and avoids any confusion.

this was fantastic fun. there was a guy on tiktok who ran races while we were on lockdown. it was good fun to see then, and even better to see with a bunch of cool people making bets on it.

One of my favorite videos.

This was so much fun!

Ohh no Sully and horses again 😰
