That rearrange adding the shop to the Shadow Realm was brilliant. Imagine randomly altering the fabric of reality and all that happens is hell gets a gift shop.
I'm pretty sure he was referring to the teleport space they were just talking about 1 second before since it is around the bottom right and was never revealed.
Plus the whole "The Shadow Realm connects to a lot of things" idea was also completely false. It was connected to exactly 2 squares, until eventually it got the shop and was connected to 3. It was a fairly normal square and not this non-euclidean horror Smallant seemed to think it was
7:52 Smant instantly realising the swap, mapping near perfect maps, managing to keep track, figuring out some tricks on the way. He has mad skills to be able to pull that off.
Smant's brain works differently. Back when he did lockout-bingo races in Mario Odyssey, his ability to counter-pick his opponents routes base solely on what goals his opponent had gotten, without being able to see their stream... it really was a sight to behold.
I just wanna say, the repel is one of the funniest possible items for this type of game i love it so much. Immediate uses that come to mind are very menial teasing that are bad but hilarious, plays, such as "I'm gonna go up." "Okay, you're gonna land on a good space" "No he isn't" "Okay, you're gonna land on a nothing space"
"You have been given an item that can do anything, it's so powerful that it's basically dm-capped, just don't be too OP" Small Ant: proceeds to use it to win a battle that he would have won if he didn't have said item "My power is my biggest burden"
His issue was that he was too organised lmao, his board was wrong only twice, both of them happening because of vertical and diagonal movement. you can see that he thinks the flamingo space is a bad space, and that the gold space is somehow overlapping with a bad space, because Noah's board is such a mess lmao
@@PistaZOV Whether it's 4 or anything more or less than that depends on how you define a "type" of tree. It could be only 2 if you categorise trees as either evergreen or deciduous, for example.
I think they might've meant the teleporting from bottom left to top right and top left to bottom right maybe? Because that was definitely what actually messed them up
@@the-arctic-wolf1438 well yes, that's what caused the confusion, but if you put together the lines where they align with each other it actually makes a circle/sphere so they pretty much where looping
What an interesting game concept! I love it! When i saw "the players are blind" I was wondering what it was gonna be like.. but this is literally old-school choose your own adventure, where you have to take notes and draw maps of where you are and whatnot
Failboat is that friend who is holding the map while repeatedly saying he knows where you're going while proceeding to walk in circles for the next three hours
Actually... I made a blind game with my friends, it was a game where you can move freely up down left or right, and the goal was to get to the win place, the map was a labyrinth made by me, and only me can see the board, then my friends each one by one tried to understand the board by moving to it... (But I still give them information like, "there is a spike near you" when it's in the 3×3 square near them, and "you touched a wall" or "you slipped on soap" or "you died to spikes" And yeah soap makes you slip through all the soap cases until you stop against a wall or there is no more soap) It was 5 years ago
In DougDoug latest DnD stream, not only did he admit that you are his inspiration for the DnD streams, but the bald blonde also begged for a chance to play one of your games.
I love how SmallAnt is using Gimp like a pro while the rest of them struggle to get MSPaint to function. Correction: Failboat is also using Gimp, but his map looks horrible, so I rest my case.
This game reminds me of those old RPG dungeon crawler games back in the olden days of DOS and the SNES where you had to fill out the map of the dungeon yourself with no help at all, and each dungeon WAS RANDOMIZED. I love how confusing this is lol
thank you genuinely for subtitling everything, as someone who has trouble processing and keeping track of new voices :') This entire game and video was so fun to watch, i didn't even multitask....!
Supposedly he's actually supposed to be the best according to him To quote Failboat somewhat "Like I swear that dude was cheating! I swear he was" Maybe not exactly what he said, but he's gone on a rant before (I can't remember where) About how the other dude who beat him was totally bogus and completely ignored one of the rules without anybody but Failboat himself noticing It was very amusing to watch
If I had a nickel for every time Failboat used a compass in the bottom right corner of the board revealing there is a player next to him and extremely confusing him, I would have two nickels Which isn't a lot but is weird it happened twice
this was genuinely such an amazing and fun to watch video, the editing is perfect and simple and the game concept is fun to watch, seeinf the others try to keep track of everything was funny also i like how the video doesnt even start with an introduction into every single mechanic, you are just thrown in and you give the rules as they all go along

@@Cheerwine091 their reaction to seeing the teleport square was, "ohhh, there's a teleport squaree", implying that was the reason they were moving around the board so weirdly

i made a board game version of this game for myself and my friends. with a few rule changes and new items. it so fun. especially in person. great concept!
Today I decided to rewatch this video, not remembering much about the board at all and tried it out blindly, mapping it out myself. Gotta say the worst part was when you just started removing things randomly towards the end. Not knowing what had been removed and what new paths had been created was so confusing ;-; Really fun experience though!
Hey Noah, I’ve been meaning to tell you about this for like a month, so I’ll just say it now. In my Japanese class, one of the ways we studied for the final was with a Jeopardy game, and already my brain was going “What is this, a Magic the Noah video?”, but then I saw that one of the categories was called “Battle” and that immediately reinforced my beliefs. Eventually, once someone picked the battle option, the teacher explained that he would give us a random kanji we had never seen before, and whoever could Google what it meant faster wouldn’t just win the points, but also take that mny points away from the lsoer as well. And, for the record, in one round, one kid’s computer wouldn’t let him access the database for kanji we were using, and the teacher still took the points away, so technical difficulties don’t get compensated. I feel like this would really spice up your next game, be it Jeopardy or a board game or even a -Tabletop- Google Slides RPG. Also, while not used in the Jeopardy game, the teacher also showed us the Kanji for たいと (Taito), which is so complex that the Unicode Consortium won’t add it to their character set. It has 84 strokes, contains the kanji for dragon and cloud, and is so complex it has its own Wikipedia article.
i think one issue is that the directions provided didn't give enough clarity to the direction they were going. the description they got was the direction of the arrow, not necessarily the direction they moved. 13:20 braiden moved right but because the arrow was slightly pointing upward, he was given wrong information about the direction he was moving
I'm gonna need another edition of blind map. Everything else can change, but more of this neverending confusion and half collaboration to build a map is amazing
Mistake they all made was assuming the board was a regular grid, meanwhile they should know from other videos that any direction can go for any length before it reaches the next space so very easily diagonal paths can lead to space squished between spaces with all the cardinal connections
Not really a mistake though, you still have to draw it out in your map and you have to assume a location othewise you'd have to map out infinite possibilities.
It makes sense to make it a grid but sometimes they could have moved a number of spaces to leave some space in between because not all movements traverse a single grid point
Man I would have LOOVED to see smallant's expression as he later on realised that in that one singular moment he was just a SINGLE step away from the Flamingo but he just traced away because he chose wrong XD
I usually don't comment on UA-cam outside of occasional replies, but I just wanted to say that these game videos are hilarious and an absolute joy to watch every time. I wish you the best in continuing to make them, and whatever other type of content you wish to make in the future. I will keep an eye out for all of it.
38:52: Failboat: We are at the start now. Audience + other players and noah: agreeing in silence Failboat: That means, we are no closer to the flamingo than in the beginning Audience + other players and noah: agreeing in s- "wait, HOLD UP"
I love how failboat used the compass twice on the same space, and each time was extremely confused and had no idea it was the same space he used the compass before on. And then at the end he says "I knew that bottom right hadn't been touched." which is the space he used a compass on twice.
This is literally the best version of this. I would love to see a live action maze with people using I pads and paint trying to find their way through. Slow moving floor form one end of the room to the other one for the screen wrap while the good wheel spins and the other players go. Literally the best one, Noah.
Ideas to make it even more evil next time: 1. Have all their Start/Home spots be completely different 2. Have their Start/Home spots be surrounded by identical copies so they don't immediately notice they started somewhere different 3. Have an extra Flamingo space that only has a single path with a one-way leading away from it, and an item that allows players to go backwards along a one-way. So that they could stumble across this extra Flamingo space if they happen to use that reverse-one-way at the right time 4. There should be two shadow realm spaces and they move between it each turn (without telling them), with different exits so they think they took the same exit but didn't
I really appreciate Noah revisiting this mode, it was one of my favorites. I also liked how different the players were this time, the last crew were jackasses that pushed each other down into the McDonald's Play Place and making the loser spin the bad wheel. Here, it's more tamed and the players actually have a sense of direction, not to mention no one that losed a vs game spined the Bad Wheel. Thank you again Noah for making this board again for our viewing pleasure, you'll know that I'll be tuning in if we get a part 3 of players unable to see the board!
I love those blind videos because i never really watch them, i just leave it running at the background and try to create a map with them while they play lol
Noah: "I'll rearrange the board now." Proceeds to change nothing but the addition of a shop, knowing that every player erased their whole board just because they thought he'd change everything. That's delightfully devilish for sure
This has got to be your best game yet! I enjoyed the video and concept so much that I recreated the game and played it with my family, which was a ton of fun. They loved it and want to play it again with a different map.
Goblin as a pathfinder would be interesting He does nothing except either move randomly (or player move them) and identify which space he is on without taking any affect
The chances of all three staying in the shadow realm were 12,5%, chances of exactly one leaving were 37,5%, but chances of small ant leaving after two others stayed were 50-50. Reminds me of that game about three doors where switching it after one empty door of the two you didn't choose was opened would give you better chances fsr.
@@go4cyclone Previous rolls do not affect a coin flip. He was in no way 'due for a head.' Yes, as an entire single event, there was a 12.5% chance that no one would roll heads but each single flip still has a 50-50 chance, including the last roll.
Would love to see another playthrough of this game! Maybe with some new rooms, like a room that rotates the player randomly? And some new shop items? The mind games of the players figuring out the map as it changes are awesome
thanks a lot for consistently making these videos, not only is it entertaining, it also is an inspiration for me and i occasionally use these games while teaching foreign languages, to promote creativity with vocabulary and a battle type game where one has to improv situations. Thanks for the ideas man!
by far, this is my favorite video from Magic the noah, the fact the contestants themselves have to map themselves leads for some really fun movements to see
You can see the levels of understanding here. Smallant basically has as good of an understanding as you can of a map with loops across the entire map, one ways, and actually changes. Failboat isnt as good but basically understands where things are and where he is. And then Kidd who knows a few things and then just hoped on blind luck the rest of the way.
I've got an idea for an even more confusing board for this game: - More diagonal lines, but you don't tell players that it's diagonal. You just tell them from which side of the square they go off of (e.g. down) and don't tell them which side of the target square do they go to, this can create a situation where you are on the square 1, go down to square 2 (for example to the left side) and then go up and you're on square 3 - Put more looping zones and put them closer to the middle of the board. For players his will create spaces that are in a different place depending on which route you take to them, which should be confusing as hell. - Make trap routes, for example draw a gold line between two squares, and make it teleport the player AFTER going to the target square, meaning they get to it, but afterwards they're teleported - Create a second map that you can go to using a one-way route, the only way home would be a "return home" wheel spin, and flamingo could be on that second map.
these games are always so funny, its like an hour of complete chaos every video and that's so funny seeing UA-camrs ik randomly flailing around randomly
At 30:55 - I really want to see someone to try and animated the absolute confusion of the 3 players… especially Failboat XD It is what the game master said, “Welcome back to Magic the Noah, the gas lighting episode.”
We seriously need an episode with some sort of game mechanic or SOMETHING, but the MAIN twist is everyone is in on something and one person is left out and set up to lose
I think the best thing was rewatching this after a couple weeks forgetting the layout and not actually watching it/letting it play figuring out the map.
I would love to see a video where you guys talked about what happened throughout the game, especially the portion where small ant casually was one square away from the flamigo lol
It’s so satisfying to see them know what is going on with their maps and equally entertaining to see them lose their minds when something doesn’t add up
A wild way to learn that one of the people I like watching was the runner up to being the best Bakugan player in the world! Certainly not what was expected here!

Gosh, I wonder if the Nintendo UA-camrs figured that out...
Hey Noah, I’ve been meaning to tell you about this for like a month, so I’ll just say it now. In my Japanese class, one of the ways we studied for the final was with a Jeopardy game, and already my brain was going “What is this, a Magic the Noah video?”, but then I saw that one of the categories was called “Battle” and that immediately reinforced my beliefs. Eventually, once someone picked the battle option, the teacher explained that he would give us a random kanji we had never seen before, and whoever could Google what it meant faster wouldn’t just win the points, but also take that mny points away from the lsoer as well. And, for the record, in one round, one kid’s computer wouldn’t let him access the database for kanji we were using, and the teacher still took the points away, so technical difficulties don’t get compensated. I feel like this would really spice up your next game, be it Jeopardy or a board game or even a -Tabletop- Google Slides RPG.
Also, while not used in the Jeopardy game, the teacher also showed us the Kanji for たいと (Taito), which is so complex that the Unicode Consortium won’t add it to their character set. It has 84 strokes, contains the kanji for dragon and cloud, and is so complex it has its own Wikipedia article.

Kanji Google battle, you say
One of my classmates is taking Japanese 2 this year and they hateee kanji xD
you... want him to cause technical difficulties on a players computer? How? Malware?
Google face off sounds like and amazing battle type!
i think one issue is that the directions provided didn't give enough clarity to the direction they were going. the description they got was the direction of the arrow, not necessarily the direction they moved. 13:20 braiden moved right but because the arrow was slightly pointing upward, he was given wrong information about the direction he was moving
I drank coffee and decided to made this last night, host it, and suffer together with friends, it was fun
I love that Smant passed right by the flamingo square early on, then later won everything. The foreshadowing is crazy.
“Wait! You’re not me from the future, you’re just a raspberry”
We found it boys, the most MagictheNoah line ever
I'm gonna need another edition of blind map. Everything else can change, but more of this neverending confusion and half collaboration to build a map is amazing
36:36 The Wizard up in His tower when I try to sell him a mystical item but He's broke
Mistake they all made was assuming the board was a regular grid, meanwhile they should know from other videos that any direction can go for any length before it reaches the next space so very easily diagonal paths can lead to space squished between spaces with all the cardinal connections
Not really a mistake though, you still have to draw it out in your map and you have to assume a location othewise you'd have to map out infinite possibilities.
It makes sense to make it a grid but sometimes they could have moved a number of spaces to leave some space in between because not all movements traverse a single grid point
I know this said words, but what does it mean
Man I would have LOOVED to see smallant's expression as he later on realised that in that one singular moment he was just a SINGLE step away from the Flamingo but he just traced away because he chose wrong XD
I usually don't comment on UA-cam outside of occasional replies, but I just wanted to say that these game videos are hilarious and an absolute joy to watch every time.
I wish you the best in continuing to make them, and whatever other type of content you wish to make in the future. I will keep an eye out for all of it.

38:52:
Failboat: We are at the start now.
Audience + other players and noah: agreeing in silence
Failboat: That means, we are no closer to the flamingo than in the beginning
Audience + other players and noah: agreeing in s- "wait, HOLD UP"
I love how failboat used the compass twice on the same space, and each time was extremely confused and had no idea it was the same space he used the compass before on. And then at the end he says "I knew that bottom right hadn't been touched." which is the space he used a compass on twice.
This is literally the best version of this. I would love to see a live action maze with people using I pads and paint trying to find their way through. Slow moving floor form one end of the room to the other one for the screen wrap while the good wheel spins and the other players go.
Literally the best one, Noah.
Ideas to make it even more evil next time:
1. Have all their Start/Home spots be completely different
2. Have their Start/Home spots be surrounded by identical copies so they don't immediately notice they started somewhere different
3. Have an extra Flamingo space that only has a single path with a one-way leading away from it, and an item that allows players to go backwards along a one-way. So that they could stumble across this extra Flamingo space if they happen to use that reverse-one-way at the right time
4. There should be two shadow realm spaces and they move between it each turn (without telling them), with different exits so they think they took the same exit but didn't
Bro designs the most evil dungeons in D&D
EVIL
Also add paths that lead to the same space, so they think they moved but actually ended up in the same space
I really appreciate Noah revisiting this mode, it was one of my favorites. I also liked how different the players were this time, the last crew were jackasses that pushed each other down into the McDonald's Play Place and making the loser spin the bad wheel. Here, it's more tamed and the players actually have a sense of direction, not to mention no one that losed a vs game spined the Bad Wheel.
Thank you again Noah for making this board again for our viewing pleasure, you'll know that I'll be tuning in if we get a part 3 of players unable to see the board!
Honestly, I want this game published, this was hilarious to watch!
I love those blind videos because i never really watch them, i just leave it running at the background and try to create a map with them while they play lol
How is Smallant so good at everything he plays, it's insane
He isn't, it's just the funniest thing
Bet the pokemon Nuzloke paid off in this one
It's because he's just really intelligent. He picks stuff up really quickly.
Autism.
Noah: "I'll rearrange the board now."
Proceeds to change nothing but the addition of a shop, knowing that every player erased their whole board just because they thought he'd change everything.
That's delightfully devilish for sure
In addition to the false hope he offered of leaving ‘The Shadow Realm,’ only for players to be trapped! 😈 🧠
This has got to be your best game yet! I enjoyed the video and concept so much that I recreated the game and played it with my family, which was a ton of fun. They loved it and want to play it again with a different map.
Goblin as a pathfinder would be interesting
He does nothing except either move randomly (or player move them) and identify which space he is on without taking any affect
Fun thing about statistics, after the first two flips came up tails there was a 50% chance he would of gotten tails again.
but for him to have 3 tails in a row it would be a 12,5% chance (would be the same for 2x tails and 1x head, but still)
The chances of all three staying in the shadow realm were 12,5%, chances of exactly one leaving were 37,5%, but chances of small ant leaving after two others stayed were 50-50.
Reminds me of that game about three doors where switching it after one empty door of the two you didn't choose was opened would give you better chances fsr.
@@evelieningels9408 gambler's fallacy, his chances were still 50-50 not matter what came before
@@applehack97 nah he was due for a heads
@@go4cyclone Previous rolls do not affect a coin flip. He was in no way 'due for a head.' Yes, as an entire single event, there was a 12.5% chance that no one would roll heads but each single flip still has a 50-50 chance, including the last roll.
I love how whenever these three won a battle, they spun the good wheel opposed to Nathan, Kaden and Jacob constantly bad wheeling each other.
Bad wheel has a chance of changing the board which hurts everyone.
I love Smallant in these. Heck, I love Smallant in general.
Would love to see another playthrough of this game! Maybe with some new rooms, like a room that rotates the player randomly? And some new shop items? The mind games of the players figuring out the map as it changes are awesome
17:57 the moment smallant was SO CLOSE
"I knew that bottom right hadn't been touched." Daniel 'I literally used a compass on this exact square twice' Failboat
The audacity of deleting a blank space and putting another blank space to replace it
thanks a lot for consistently making these videos, not only is it entertaining, it also is an inspiration for me and i occasionally use these games while teaching foreign languages, to promote creativity with vocabulary and a battle type game where one has to improv situations. Thanks for the ideas man!
Wait... I just saw a comment saying their Japanese teacher used a jeopardy like game for teaching, with even a battle option. Coincidence?
by far, this is my favorite video from Magic the noah, the fact the contestants themselves have to map themselves leads for some really fun movements to see
You can see the levels of understanding here. Smallant basically has as good of an understanding as you can of a map with loops across the entire map, one ways, and actually changes. Failboat isnt as good but basically understands where things are and where he is. And then Kidd who knows a few things and then just hoped on blind luck the rest of the way.
God I hope one of them releases a reaction video so we can see them realize what was happening to them.😊
this was super cool but I would've loved to see how they progressively build their own maps in more detail
The way that failboat did the same path twice and used a compass in the same place twice is just like him
21:35 "i forgot to mention this rule that always existed that i totally forgot about" :) love the impromptu balancing
I've got an idea for an even more confusing board for this game:
- More diagonal lines, but you don't tell players that it's diagonal. You just tell them from which side of the square they go off of (e.g. down) and don't tell them which side of the target square do they go to, this can create a situation where you are on the square 1, go down to square 2 (for example to the left side) and then go up and you're on square 3
- Put more looping zones and put them closer to the middle of the board. For players his will create spaces that are in a different place depending on which route you take to them, which should be confusing as hell.
- Make trap routes, for example draw a gold line between two squares, and make it teleport the player AFTER going to the target square, meaning they get to it, but afterwards they're teleported
- Create a second map that you can go to using a one-way route, the only way home would be a "return home" wheel spin, and flamingo could be on that second map.
these games are always so funny, its like an hour of complete chaos every video and that's so funny seeing UA-camrs ik randomly flailing around randomly
Failboat was really playing mind games with that soup joke
Love how nobody knew the Bakugan lore
I dont get it, can you explain it to me?
The way that this game is designed, from the beginning it would have been easier and less confusing to just not try to map it out.
*Sees that Smallant is right next to the Flamingo*
Oh, that’s gotta be it, fun game
*Looks at the runtime being 18 minutes out of 49*
Oh.
At 30:55 - I really want to see someone to try and animated the absolute confusion of the 3 players… especially Failboat XD
It is what the game master said, “Welcome back to Magic the Noah, the gas lighting episode.”
We seriously need an episode with some sort of game mechanic or SOMETHING, but the MAIN twist is everyone is in on something and one person is left out and set up to lose
For some reason the "You're just a raspberry." line really cracked me up and sent me into a wheezing laughing coughing fit.
Thanks for the video.
I think the best thing was rewatching this after a couple weeks forgetting the layout and not actually watching it/letting it play figuring out the map.
this legit could be made into an absolutely amazing game. ngl good job on thinking of all these ideas, very fun to watch
15:37 Funnily enough, that's the only space that is blank and has blank spaces surrounding it
I would love to see a video where you guys talked about what happened throughout the game, especially the portion where small ant casually was one square away from the flamigo lol
If this was made into an actual board game I'd buy it
there are some games that are quite like it
It’s so satisfying to see them know what is going on with their maps and equally entertaining to see them lose their minds when something doesn’t add up
18:00 that moment Small ant Teased the Flamingo XD
This concept is actually genius, I'm gonna try making something similar in Python so I can force all of my friends including myself to suffer
Did you start it? Collab? Godot is fun for this sort of thing.
A wild way to learn that one of the people I like watching was the runner up to being the best Bakugan player in the world! Certainly not what was expected here!
