Does it work well at 3 players? Since it's both a 1 vs many and a hidden role (kinda), seems like 3-player would be a problem, but given how this game is it may not be that bad.
Coming in Q3 2022, from the game designers of "Let's Make a Bus Route" and the artist of "Voices In My Head" comes the exciting new board game, "Tom Teaches a Board Game."
I was wondering about that too! That is certainly a new tattoo and he seemed pretty adamant he wouldn't get another! Has he commented on this anywhere? First I've seen!
@@MattKenyonMFK I was hoping someone would link to a Q&A or something where he mentioned it. I don't have time to watch the longer Q&A videos so I wasn't sure if it had been discussed there or not? Maybe he just hasn't talked about it?
This game looks really interesting but the whole “pushing” mechanic seems like it would highly favor players that go later in the round. I kinda wish instead there was either a hidden auction mechanic or that tossing mechanic from that hibachi game with the poker chips.
Sure, but it rotates, and the stuff stays round to round, and there are five places you can go. You have that issue with any shuffleboard style game, including the tossing ones.
Played this a few times tonight, and tbh, it was really bad. It felt like it was just a funny story, and the game part was designed WELL after the story and as an afterthought. You have very little control over what happens with the innocent/guilty tokens and can't do much to sway it in your favour. So if your objective is losing pretty hard, there's very little you can do to fix that, and so you're just along for the ride making meaningless decisions..
Very interesting! but I'm with Dan Hughes on this one, I think the name trivializes conditions like schizophrenia and might be hurtful to systems/people with DID. I just wish they had chosen a different name.
"Voices in my head" doesn't belong only to mental disorders. It's a phrase used for thought processes. In fact, doubt is usually referred to as a voice in your head telling you you're not good enough. Many people remember things by repeating it in their head. Many people also practice conversations by having that conversation in their heads. There's all kinds of examples of people having at least one voice in their head. That's how our brains work sometimes.
@@ErmacFellwalker nah, I do, I just think the phrasing (the plural especially being important) has other connotations. It's not the end of the world. There's definitely worse things in board gaming when it comes to offending the mentally ill (Pug You... ugh!) This would have just been an easy one to fix, considering it's just a name.

The art looks just absolutely amazing. What a great art-style!
This just arrived! Pumped to try it! Also- saw Corey released an official two player variant - which is cool.
Hi, where can I find this 2 player version? Maybe on BGG? Thanks
This was a fun game when we played it. I enjoy the secret objective and the qwirky statements you can make Guy say during the trial.
calling out our favourite canadian like that :D
{People of a certain age} "It's like Herman's Head."
{People 5 minutes younger than that} "It's like Inside Out."
This is some of the best art I've seen in a board game!

The designer being Corey K makes me think it's like a game of BSG where everyone is a Cylon Leader

Looks neat, thanks for the review.
I have to disagree with Tom. Guy totally does not look like Zee. Good one, though.
I'm 100% sure he didn't mean Zee.
Not sure to whom though..

@@then8mac Even Rodney made a comment on it, I think he posed in a similar way on his instagram
@@g8kpr3000 now i want to see Rodney do the rules for this game and say your job is to prove himself guilty or innocent :)
Haha nice one yeah he does looks like Rodney
Did Tom get another dice person tattoo?

You should have been a playtester..

First player breaks all ties too

Guilty!
I was definitely also thinking the Boxart dude looked like a certain someone in the board game community

Looks like an instance of overambitious theming but it didn't communicate completely through.

You don't have an internal monologue?

Yikes......Imagine being triggered by the name of a board game.
