My brother died 3 weeks ago. He absolutely loved this channel, was a patreon, a big fan, the whole works. It's what made him get into board games this past year, and brought his inner child out (he was 38). He has a stack so high in his room that I won't touch. He often said your hour long uploads were the highlight of his week, and he'd get so excited. I'm absolutely lost without him, but I want to thank you for bringing him so much joy in his final year.

Again, I am very sorry for what you are going through.
Sully betting 9 because everyone else bullied him into it, and he couldn't help but continue the bit, is peak Sully energy 😂
Watching Sully self destruct when they’re chanting nine. Omfg. 😂😂😂😂
Adam getting all the way to five only to be foiled by Laurie is the best kinda of storytelling.
seeing Adam start mildly confident..then unravel and tilt so gloriously...he's taking Jon's role as well now
Laurie losing his shit at 52:56 was possibly the best part of the video (Adam getting eliminated being a very close second) His laugh is so wholesome and contagious

Hate how they bully Sully. Love how he falls to peer pressure
Love Skull. Me and my friends play what can be called "Super Skull" in part due to me damaging (how dare I) one of the skull cards as I originally unpacked it so I bought a second box. 1 skull, 6 flowers. Big number, big bidding...
Silly Sullivan, they weren't saying "nine" they were saying "nein". Don't do it! Laurie clearly placed a skull, what's wrong with you?? Jesus Sully, you just don't listen... *sigh* poor Brooke. Poor Adam!
So happy to see more of Tilly on NRB she is the best, please keep her forever!
Oh this is a lot of fun. I love the tilt, working out where the skulls are with everyone else, the banter, the drama. Also... Playing a bluffing game with a poker player, people who love causing chaos and Sully (bless him).
This video is a 1h loop of the ''You've activated my trap card !'' meme
Ken is evil and a liar; he fits this crew perfectly! Welcome!
"This is what the play 'The Crucible' is about." I love Tilly!
"...You're also a sociopath..." "I know... But, I'm nice about it..."
Laurie winning Skull to honor is spooky cousin Malakai. And Sully reluctantly defeating Adam is "I'm sorry, I love you", poetic stuff all around. We want more Tilly
If Laurie is ever armed with a skull, fleeing is your only hope for survival

You can also play skull by just using normal playing cards and red cards are skulls while black cards are flowers (or vice versa)
Laurie played exactly how I would and wow lol
Everyone: “SPEED SKULL SPEED SKULL SPEED SKULL” Adam: “Four” Sully: “Alright….. Five!” Dom: “Six…” Everyone turns their cards At least 5 people enjoyed the play. At least 5…. 🤣😂
I can't believe the peer pressure worked. That's incredible.

The funny thing is Adam could easily bid 5 and no one would want stop him. Someone would have to knowingly lose to keep the game going. But instead he just says 6 over and over
It only took 2 weeks but WE FINALLY GOT SKULL!!!
What will Ken see when he looks into the mind of Sullivan Beau Brown?
Laurie: NOTHING... YOU'VE ALL... LEARNED... NOTHING!!!!!
….Could Ken be the key to defeating Carley in BOTC? Like a professional poker player in that kind of environment would be insane to watch.

Fantastic episode as always! Just wanted to bring attention to something that means Adams resolution might not be fully dead yet. The channel is projected to hit 100k subscribers by the 19th December at which point they have said that they would do another 10 hour stream. That would mean around 10 more chances to win before the end of the year!
This is genuinely one of my favorite games. So thankful that you guys got me into this game with the original BGC episode on Skull. Keep up the great work guys!
Wow, well played to the handsome devil!
YES!!! I've been wanting you guys to play this game again and now it's in person! Love to see it.
Statistically it's so obvious that Laurie will keep putting Skull first until the end of the world 😂 Why do people still flip his card!?
Welcome Ken to the team, hope you feel at home
Just bought Skull and taught it to my kids (10 and 8). They absolutely love it. And my son thinks Sullivan Brown is the funniest guy on KZread. We watch the King of Tokyo video over and over just to see his rant about Jon (you stupid idiot!) We love you in St. Louis Sully!
We finally got skull in person! Let’s go! Edit: I’m only 12 minutes in and we NEED more Ken on board game club!
Watching this is like looking at people grabbing the electric fence the 12th time and hoping that THIS time they won't get shocked.
Sully turned so red the more he got bullied omg
36:08 yes Laurie!!!!
Love a good Tim Minchin song title to start an episode! I see you Adam.... I see you!!!

Hey a game I've actually heard of! Only because I saw Tom Scott play it last year. Very simple but fun. I prefer these minimal piece games over elaborate ones, those are too confusing.
KEN CHENG!
Laurie is completely correct, it makes 0 sense to not just play the skull each turn and make sure you aren't the 1 last to bid. Kinda ruins the game but it's a incredible strat.
Welcome Ken! You were great!
Would I be correct in saying Ken picked out Laurie’s skull card in the first game? That little shirt adjustment and aggressive next play were interesting.
ok that card flick to ken near the start was clean
I just want to hug Sully 😂❤
Hey they finally broke out Skull! Also, I'm digging Tilly's Trinity from Matrix vibe, a vibe we should all aspire to be, early 2000's goth. Also, Ken is AWESOME at this game! Hope to see him in more BGC in the future.
I've realised this channel is bad for my wallet... going to be playing a lot of new games at Christmas now!
This dude said what he would do and did it. I just don’t understand why they kept picking him 😆
I just want to say, I picked up this game, mostly due to your recommendation! Thank you!
I literally just got back from picking up a few small games at a local shop. My impulse buy when I was there? SKULL. What are the odds to find this up when I got back?!
I love this game, which means I’ll love this video
