    The fact that the train in Japan was late enough for them to narrow down an answer and avoid the slow train that would have put them massively off track is just such bad luck for Sam.

    26:45 I feel like the curse of the frozen dot is _incredibly_ powerful. The hider knows where the seekers are at all times, every episode so far has involved some travel on a shinkansen and one of the two things the shinkansen is know for is punctuality. So the best strategy would be to wait until they're exactly 15 minutes out from a station (which you can know from the train time tables), and just put the dot _on_ the station. The only ways this doesn't work is if they get off the train early, or they encounter an incredibly unlikely delay. But even taking those into account, this strategy makes CotFD _so much_ more accurate and powerful.

      If the situation arrives, its god tier, but the setup is fickle. But I think here, the demonstration of the power of the randomize is good. Its like a mulligan on the card that may give the seekers poor info. Of course, when it's played is critical to maximize the chance of poor info and card draw. I think using randomize on the regional question would have been likely pretty good.

    • @kauliboy

      It only works if they intend to get off the train and you force them to overshoot it by freezing them.

    I'm convinced that hiding in a dense urban area is a great strategy. Chasers still need to narrow it down but then when they get to your area, they have so many spots to go through. Even if they use tentacles (which take some time to analyze the response for anyway) that just gives you more cards to mess with them.

    Sam had the same issue as Adam last episode where he wanted to prioritise a powerful card (veto for Adam, random question for Sam) and he just… didn’t. A random on the 50 mile radar could’ve decreased the radar size, and that woudve sent Ben and Adam across 4 hour long trains scouring the east coast. And a random of the prefecture probably woudve confused them and disrupted their flow by giving them something completely random. But instead he held onto the cards and did a curse combo first (something he should’ve done sooner before they started B lining on the Shinkansen)

      I agree for Adams case but the "Random Question card" allows you to answer the same Question again as seen in when they asked for the tallest builing again.

      @ArisenSquirrel 13 годин тому +24

      It's an interesting dilemma, for as the viewers we are able to see everything unfold. While Sam had no idea the duo were considering the coastal option. It's one thing to think the randomize question would be good to avoid a question, however I don't think they know how powerful it is to play mind games instead with changing the 50m radar. They don't get the graphics as we do so I'm sure it's much more complicated when they're trying to navigate foreign language included.

    1. The first question asked was straight about the airport.
    2. He got a three 5 minutes bonus cards.
    3. In spite of randomizing the question, he had to answer the tallest building question.
    4. All three of the curses were pretty much meaningless to the seekers.
    5. His strategy of hiding at the least visited railway station did not work at all. In fact out of the whole airport, somehow the guys accidentally ended up in that exact location.

    2.: them randomly rolling the 10 mile radar after the 7 mile radar
    3.: A train being late, giving them time to figure out a WAY better and safer route, in the country with the least train delays in the world
    4.: Being one mile off from that other train line being the closest to him, which wouldve sent them on a trip farther away and kept the map much bigger
    5.: Being at a train station ONLY people who went onto the wrong train go to, and them being on the wrong train
    6.: not one good opportunity to use his curses at any point, and not drawing many of them to begin with
    it is literally INSANE. He didnt play perfectly with his cards, and kinda wasted his curses, but all in all this was a VERY possible first place

    *Yes, even Sam's blunder with the double curse cards (effectively discarded 4 cards with zero gain lol), and even the strategic misstep of not using the Randomize card earlier (I wouldn't call that a blunder; not using what you have is an extremely easy trap to fall into. Also the Randomize card really ought to remove the question from play).

    very funny how things ended up - I do feel robbed of the narita endgame I was *really* excited to see that play out.

    Is it just me or does the randomize question feel kinda useless if the seekers can just ask the same question immediately after? I get that it maybe stalls a little bit, but it doesn't seem by enough time to really matter.

    It is currently christmas morning for me in Australia, 4:00 am as I cannot sleep well. I go onto UA-cam to see Jet Lag has posted a day early. It is a christmas miracle

    SPOILER:
    Damn, was looking forward to a great airport endgame, kinda funny how Adam and Ben taking the wrong line to the airport itself dropped them right in Sam's lap.
