You can't even really make out his shape, but the coloured fingernails really make Jon so obvious in this intro :D Also I just love everything about this new intro.
Also, the how many syllables site they used doesn't account for different dialects and such. Also it has reel as 1 syllable. All this to say language is confusing. But not so confusing that any argument can be made for Music be glossed over
The point of the game though is it’s up to the club holder to bonk them if they make a mistake. If they miss it, you get away with it. (It’s why it’s a great party game)
Laurie being more upbeat is killing it. Love him coming out of his shell a bit. Great job so far. And so happy to see sully back in action. I need Ken every episode. Freakin love this guy.
The new intro feels amazing! I adored the other intros but this one has such a personal touch that I love PS - Laurie is still absolutely killing the host role, he's properly come into his own and its awesome!
Thank you to the NRB team for thinking of the fans. It's not easy, especially when so much was new already, but we're ever so grateful for giving us your best. Special thank you to Rosie and James. You truly make the channel special 💛
That table is gorgeous! The half-circle design to play to the camera more is very smart, and I love the bright and clean look. Rosie: one of the unsung heroes of NRB!
The parts, where they just sit in front of the camera and say something funny about the situation. And in the last videos they did this A LOT, sometimes only 30 seconds after the video started. @@nicolaeentertainment8280
Good to see the team putting in the effort to keep the show going. I had some concern about the channel direction, but I think with the new changes it really helps alleviate my concerns.
Very surprised and happy to see this game played. No matter how many deep, rich, interesting games I have, this game always comes back, known as Unga Bunga Bonk in my house Edit: Oh hey it's my chance to be That Rules Guy In The Comments™ for the first time! When you're the card reader and someone gets the word, you're allowed to say "Yes! [Word]", and then you're allowed to say that word when going for the 3 Points section. So if your word was "Menu" and the 3 point was "Breakfast Menu", once someone guesses Menu you can say "Yes, Menu. Now menu that you get at start of day" to get them to guess Breakfast Menu
I'm in the same wheelhouse. It's even more surprising that I'm only lukewarm to exploding kitten's other works, this one is fun, simple, and fast paced enough that a bunch of board game nerds still find it interesting.
I believe you are only allowed to do that if the word itself is only one syllable. Them getting the word voids the 'don't say the word on the card' rule. but doesn't void the 'only speak in one syllable rule' which is why menu wasn't allowed
@@JadeNeomaPerhaps? In the instruction manual, the example they use is "Octopus", and it shows a crudely drawn person going "Yes, Octopus!". That made me interpret it that you can now say that word no matter the syllables. Like it's a bunch of cavemen trying to remember a word, and once someone reminds them, it's added to their vocabulary. That's at least how I've played it Yes, I'm adding lore to Unga Bunga Bonk, apparently haha
There are certainly elements of the old era I will miss, but I'm so excited for this new era of NRB and BGC. Awesome new intro, love the highlighting of so many beloved regulars.
THE NEW INTRO IS AMAZEBALLS! The artist did an impeccable job! Tom's in particular gave me a good chuckle, because in a home brew game of BOTC 'The Tom' token is represented by two trees, which he found rather amusing, and now here he's is decked out in a background of leaves. Clearly a man of nature.
I loved all the jokes they did when players were silenced in don't mess with Cthulhu - "Brooke, say nothing if you want Sully to leave you for Adam", "Laurie, say nothing if you think all your Blood on the Clocktower losses were deserved", "Tom, say nothing if you hate trees"
I almost never comment but I have to just to say your new intro is FANTASTIC! I know having to rebrand so soon again must be tough but I just wanted to say you guys seem to be doing a great job!
NRB has really come into it's own with the new studio and the new animation package! It's amazing. I thought it was gonna be hard to get the same cozyness you got from the smaller space at draughts, but this video feels like the old ones.
yes! I love the new intro! Just a note: the fun banter and silly antics lately have really been great. Great vibes and the group dynamics have been 💯! Nice shift in mood! Congrats guys. And love the new table!
Haven't even watched the video yet, but LOVE the new intro sequence. The animation is excellent and love seeing the silhouettes of all the crew. It really adds a freshness and renewed quality to the show. And for me personally, it helped me forget that I was missing... anything.
"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is a grammatically correct sentence in English. Sometimes you just gotta accept that English is stupid.
they were fine with wheel being one syllable, the same website they used that says real is 2 syllables says that wheel has 1. both words can have 1 or two, depends on dialect and even within the same speakers' usage is can differ with context and emphasis
I’m so glad you guys are playing this game. It’s one of my favorites to play with my family. Also the new intro and table are amazing! Good job James and Rosie
I love this game cuz everyone makes it so much harder than necessary. You could say something like, "This clue is two words, and the first word is a thing that you get when you..." 😂 You don't have to remove all grammar. 😂
The new intro is almost perfectly, what would make it truely perfect is it only shows the silhouettes of people who are in the current episode of board game club.
Love the new intro, James deserves a pay rise!! Also been really enjoying Laurie taking over, he's a great presenter and I love how he involves everyone!
Ooo Teri is part of the intro graphics! Does that mean she might join everyone for boardgames at some point? :) Love the intro graphics! Love the new table! Also whoop nice to see Ken again!
"Blair, remember you're American."
"Sorry, I forgot!"
is a BGC moment years in the making. 😆
The new intro is amazing!!!
Very reminiscent of Archer.
James is the GOAT
Love Dom Stalin in the intro
Totally agree! Awesome intro! Thanks James!
I have to disagree.
You can't even really make out his shape, but the coloured fingernails really make Jon so obvious in this intro :D
Also I just love everything about this new intro.
He's also unraveling! 😊
Not just thatit was included, but that we also recognize it as a feature of his!
I think he's more recognizable by the sheer feeling of regret in the posture
@@apocrypha5363 I was gonna say, I can recognize Jon because he's unraveling!
and the unraveling. Don't foget about the unraveling.
Them having a full-blown argument over the word real being 2 syllables while Laurie fully said "music" in one of the rounds is peak NRB humour 😂
Also, the how many syllables site they used doesn't account for different dialects and such. Also it has reel as 1 syllable. All this to say language is confusing. But not so confusing that any argument can be made for Music be glossed over
@@shepgustafson8131 Mjoosk
Even funnier is that she still should've gotten bonked for "day" because it's part of birthday
The point of the game though is it’s up to the club holder to bonk them if they make a mistake. If they miss it, you get away with it. (It’s why it’s a great party game)
@@shepgustafson8131 It just means "reel" and "real" are technically not homonyms, and we've all been saying it wrong
Laurie screaming stone in an angry manner is the most caveman thing

timestamp?
@@Lily-dg2qv 13:22
Rock and stone! Sadly I don’t think it was a Deep Rock Galactic reference
I love the new intro! Not only because it has Dom in it!
It also has Tom! The two Om's of No Rolls Barred!
It's awesome
Shouldn't Dom be first though? After all, he is the main character.
Classic dom!
That's quite a Dominant interpretation@@cooperrage5497
"Spook fruit", "in pan, oops", and "thing from sky, THOR!" will be part of my vocabulary from now on :D
I'm never saying the word "pumpkin" again lol
John can't even keep it together in the intro! Love it
The H in Jon is an invisible letter.
Laurie being more upbeat is killing it. Love him coming out of his shell a bit. Great job so far. And so happy to see sully back in action. I need Ken every episode. Freakin love this guy.
Hopefully the intro means Tom is a regular
Love Tom. If he can't be there all the time I hope he is still there for the role play games as teller or player.
Yes! This intro gives me hope
I've been curious what happened to Adam... did he leave for good?
@@Krowphay yes, he has left the company that runs NRB, Wrestletalk and Parts Funknown. It was made public news via the NRB patreon page
@@Krowphay while unconfirmed and thus uncertain, it may be related to allegations of sexual harrassment.
The new intro feels amazing! I adored the other intros but this one has such a personal touch that I love
PS - Laurie is still absolutely killing the host role, he's properly come into his own and its awesome!
It’s a beautiful new intro, lads. It’s simplistic, and yet so lovely.
Thank you to the NRB team for thinking of the fans. It's not easy, especially when so much was new already, but we're ever so grateful for giving us your best.
Special thank you to Rosie and James. You truly make the channel special 💛
A+ to Rosie for the new table and James for the new intro!!!! ♥
What an amazing feeling of turning over a new chapter in the NRB legacy. You guys rock!
Really feels like a new channel. I'm here for it. Kudos on the table Rosie.
That table is gorgeous! The half-circle design to play to the camera more is very smart, and I love the bright and clean look. Rosie: one of the unsung heroes of NRB!
It makes me wonder if that other table was technically Adams so it went when he went?
How does Tilly always manage to get everyone giggling within the first few minutes?
Cause she's a joy :)
New Intro, new Table, feels like a whole new day. :)
Better audio, less forced bits, great new table and amazing new Intro. Thank you so much guys! ❤
Forced bits?

Joke of the day for example
@@lordhawkeyeI liked joke of the day

unwatchable???@@billyplatt7414
what changed, I don't know what's different and I watched mostly old videos

Jon being mid-meltdown is such a perfect encapsulation of him and I love it
john?… 🤨
💅💅💅
Not sure if I should be a spook fruit or a fright laugh man for Halloween this year
I think I saw some spook fruit costumes on sale down the local Tesco last week, I'll grab you one
Why not both? Be a spook fright laugh fruit man!

Great to see Tilly and Sully back... they are such mood swingers... ;-)
When Tilly had "Friends" And she said to Sully "You... Me" and he immediately said "Actors" my heart broke a little.
I love how they argued over "shocked" but no one noticed Holly use "day" when trying to get her team to guess "birthday".
Also how Laurie said music in one round
@@rosalindcormier4384 seriously I screamed FUCK on his behalf and then Blair didn't even bonk him
100% loving the hand repping the French flag for the hallowed Teri wave 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
26:43 "You like egg? Now egg in drink!" best quote ever
Its so lush to see most of the cast back together! And the new intro is great, good work on whoever did that!
There are certainly elements of the old era I will miss, but I'm so excited for this new era of NRB and BGC. Awesome new intro, love the highlighting of so many beloved regulars.
Love the intro! Jon unraveling not even 30 secs in every week is wonderful ❤️❤️
Cant believe Laurie got away with "make MU-SIC"
Family guy monkey points at Laurie
And "world" for globe
Im sad Mr wavy waiter has left the into, tho its miles better than the second version we had. Brilliant work james its bloody brilliant
I love the new intro! It looks great! Tilly really hit her stride about half way through and was so energized from it. Great to see Ken again!
The new intro is my favorite so far! Although the walk through draughts will always have a little nook in my heart
The Jon mid unraveling silhouette is perfect
This new intro is crisp, Love it! Also love how easily you can tell everyone apart with minimal effort
THE NEW INTRO IS AMAZEBALLS! The artist did an impeccable job!

New intro. New table. New amazing era of NRB. Love everything about how this channel is evolving!
Absolutely love Teris little flag from out of frame. It's so on brand. Way to go James!
I almost never comment but I have to just to say your new intro is FANTASTIC! I know having to rebrand so soon again must be tough but I just wanted to say you guys seem to be doing a great job!
Love the new intro, it’s so clean!
Also always happy to see Tilly!! Hearing her pop up in Baldur’s Gate 3 was a really fun recent surprise 😂
The new table is really great for having it feel like everyone is equally involved, and in general just looks cool.
I love the personality of the new intro! Whoever made that deserves whatever pay they asked for. Its beautiful
The new intro is perfect its so good AND THAT TABLE I LOVE IT So much better and easier to see everyone cant wait for more nrb in the future!!!
I laughed out loud when I saw Jon in the intro. No one has a breakdown like Jon!
NRB has really come into it's own with the new studio and the new animation package! It's amazing. I thought it was gonna be hard to get the same cozyness you got from the smaller space at draughts, but this video feels like the old ones.
yes! I love the new intro! Just a note: the fun banter and silly antics lately have really been great. Great vibes and the group dynamics have been 💯!
Nice shift in mood! Congrats guys.

Im obsessed with the silhouette of dom in the new intro
Love the new table. The old one I'm sure is great for gaming with friends, but this one is perfect for youtube.
the intro is a work of art! everyone is so recognisable :D
It's a new era for NRB and I'm all in for it!
I love the way Sullivan explains the words. There's something so hilarious about it
Me: language is what we make of it, there are no hard-and-fast rules
Sully: real is two syllables
Me: I'm going to set something on fire
"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is a grammatically correct sentence in English.
Sometimes you just gotta accept that English is stupid.
It definitely feels like this game would benefit from more than half of the table understanding how syllables work
Meanwhile: "Reel" is only one syllable.
they were fine with wheel being one syllable, the same website they used that says real is 2 syllables says that wheel has 1. both words can have 1 or two, depends on dialect and even within the same speakers' usage is can differ with context and emphasis
It's true if you actually enunciate the word. Most people say "real" like it's a homophone for "reel", which is one syllable.
I love Poetry for Neanderthals! Such a fun and funny game, so happy to see it on here!
James, my dude. That intro is CLEAN! Really makes this channel feel official.
👏👏👏
New intro is a huge improvement imo, and the new table is class!
finally, the board game *club* appears in a video
21:19 Tilly putting down the bonk stick like she has PTSD was accidentally golden
'What have I become?...'
Yessss the new intro works with the music and the people, i love it
Absolutely LOVE the new intro. The pictorial representation of Jon is absolutely spot on 😅
Any episodes Tilly is in is an automatic W.
Intro is great obviously, but that table is just so perfect. It's perfectly made for everyone to have equal space- it's great!
Love the new intro and graphics! The new table is fantastic, too. This episode feels so fresh and I can't wait for the next episode!
Just started the vid and have already rewatched the intro twice. Brilliant work James!
This is my favorite NRB intro ever. Of all time.
New intro and new table are awesome!! Wonderful to have our Sullybobs back too
Commenting for the algorithm, so happy to see party games make a return!
New table is fab, also happy to see Teri being represented in the new intro 🇫🇷
Okay I love this. Everything about the presentation of this show has leveled up to a super professional level. I'll start watching more earnestly now!
New intro is phenomenal, the new table is so cool. Here’s to a new era of NRB.
The production value leapt out!
Love the new intro. Great cast and funny game
LOVE THIS INTRO, far more than the first new one. Yes please
A lot of new...and my god, that table AND THAT INTRO! Love it!!
I’m so glad you guys are playing this game. It’s one of my favorites to play with my family. Also the new intro and table are amazing! Good job James and Rosie
I'm loving the new intro, guys! The animation is so cute!! Aso the new table is gorgeous! :O
The new intro (love the retro feel of them) and set up are amazing! NRB about to become the "Players of the Semi-Circle Table".
This is probably my favorite NRB video in ages. Loved everything about this
So excited for this new era of NRB and looking forward to more full frontal views of the cast!
I love this game cuz everyone makes it so much harder than necessary. You could say something like, "This clue is two words, and the first word is a thing that you get when you..." 😂 You don't have to remove all grammar. 😂

Absolutely love the new intro. I need a t shirt with the cartoons of the cast members immediately !!

new intro is SO CUTE!!!! love the detail of jon's nails!!!!
All good things, love y'alls direction.
New intro is fantastic, table is looking fresh, top work guys!
Yay!!!! Sully is back. I was worried he was not coming back. Also I do love the new intro. Pretty awesome.
You forgot to add the lead weight to the end of the no stick! It's way less effective without it. 😂
I kind of miss the cutaways, but what a great change all round. Can't wait to see what else this channel does next
The new intro, new table!
Ooo Teri is part of the intro graphics! Does that mean she might join everyone for boardgames at some point? :)
