A- Costco doesn't sell polish dogs anymore in the US, where Justin lives B- it's insane to have your clue make sense with a combination of cards (like POLISH + DOG) the number of combinations is infinite and the guessers can't be expected to think of those C- Costco is primarily a grocery store, it makes much more sense to pick grocery items such as stock, ham, or biscuits Overall the worst clue he's ever given, chib and Justin were doomed to fail.

KIELBASA was the correct clue word to indicate "polish" and "dog". That exists in places other than Costco as well.

"Abattoir" and now "Kirkland" instant classics for NL.

"Robin da bank" is quite possibly the worst spymaster clue in the history of History.

Here's my attempt at NL's last game: Invest 2 (Bank, Stock) Animal 2 (Dog, Robin, chance they pick Unicorn but you have to hope they pick real animals first) Grain 2 (Mill, Salt (as in grain mill and grain of salt)) Warsaw 1 (I'm sorry, I don't know the Polish anthem) Ballad 1 (This is banking on slow and steady being an effective strategy) Interested in other people's thoughts on this

Are you Bri'ish? Cuz I think the big difference is the UK version relies too heavily on UK-specific things (every episode mentions a satsuma or an aubergine, whatever tf those are), whereas NZ knows it needs broader appeal. I also think the "pick on the assistant" bit is better in the NZ version; it feels more like a friend group having one person to pick on rather than a cartoonishly weird character the script needs to make fun of.

@@JD2jr. I’m Canadian, and it took exactly once being confused about what a ‘satsuma’ is then I learned and now I’m not confused. I don’t really care about those bits anyway; sometimes they’re funny and sometimes they’re time-fillers. I’m fine with that because the main part of the show is the tasks themselves and the banter afterward, which is where the NZ version falls far behind in comparison. I watched the first season and a couple episodes of the second hoping they would learn and improve but they didn’t imo.
