My favourite catchphrase from this board game after giving someone vital information "I might be drunk or poisoned", think I will start using it on the daily when I am unsure about everything
Oh man, this could've been a film script: At the end when Isaac was about to be executed and everyone was laughing and patting themselves on the back, believing they had made the right choice, a fraction after it's too late Adam realises it doesn't make sense that Isaac plays so well only to slip up at the end and it comes to him: it's a trap, cleverly set by Isaac. That was so fun to watch!
1:54:33 you can literally see the moment he goes from laughing to terrified and I loved every second of it. Isaac's feigned stupidity, Carly is reveling it their choice, Adam's head explodes
Adam's face the moment he realizes what Isaac had done while everyone is laughing and smiling and voting is LEGIT the best part of this game... well, apart from "ARE YOU EVIL?! ARE YOU EVIL?!?!"
@@sackbeardthepirate8096 More like Dumb Luck and Jon were a tag team. Carley happening to bluff the exact role Ben lied to Jon about was pretty damn lucky. I don’t blame him for getting worked.
Probably the luckiest was poisoning Jon on Night One. That's a shot in the dark. 4 of the 6 Good roles wouldn't have been affected at all by poison on the first day. Isaac was 1-in-3 to hit someone who mattered, and 1-in-6 to hit Jon which completely nullified his role. Carley's bluff wasn't lucky at all. She had already told Isaac to bluff Recluse. That left her with Empath or Investigator. Investigator is a terrible bluff for Evil because it's a Night One role, meaning everyone will want to nominate the Investigator as a sacrificial kill to gain information. She made the only bluff that was available to her, which the storytellers knew and therefore supported when they gave Jon his poisoned information.
1. Jon almost splitting his hair while playing these social deduction games are underrated moments. 2. Looking forward to the day Sully finally becomes the demon just to witness the chaos 3. ARE YOU EVIL?! 4. Adam experiencing the ending to The Usual Suspects in the final moments of the game.
@@louthinatoryeah, just because she said the right one, like even if she had said something different, she wasn’t in a very bad spot so it was likely she could have been bluffing
On my second watch of this whole series right now, and Adam realizing the truth just barely too late is still one of my favourite moments of all time. It's what 100% sold me on the voting concept of the clock hand going around the circle. It was just so cinematic, listening to the increasing dread in his voice, while steadily and unstoppable to clock hand moved around, and vote after vote was cast..
that beautiful moment when Isaac puts up his hand to secure his own death and thus the win... it's like tipping over the opponent's mated king in chess :)
@@Funktaro5 I wonder if they can't see each others cameras at all or only in the town square? If they can't see each other in private chats, that must be hard.
I really love that you guys take the time to explain all of the roles, put up a chiron of everyone's roles, and walk us through all of the what ifs. Great production values that are probably lots of work in editing but mean so much to a viewer! Thank you all!

First off the bat, loved it. Laurie getting to tell his backstory to an empty town square, Brooke and Sully's unique method of getting to the truth about one another, and to the surprise of no one who's watched the previous games: Isaac on Evil team = Evil team win; Jon vehemently telling everyone that he's got it all worked out and the person he knows is safe is in fact the demon. Can't wait to see the other scenarios where Blair will undoubtedly be the demon and rain down hellfire on everyone.
Poor Jon, got absolutely screwed over from the start and then had to suffer as the Mad Washerwoman for the entire game, plaguing Team Good with his poison information from beyond the grave.
1:23:07 I know I'm years late to the party but it really tickles me that Adam had at least a toe on the right path here, only for all of it to come full circle when it was already too late in such a hilariously, tragically dramatic fashion. Amazing
I didn't know I wanted Isaac as an evil player until this moment. The mini-celebrations, the giddiness when Carly had everyone hook, line and sinker, and finally the sick smile on his face when he raised his hand.... As he did during the game itself - *chef's kiss*
I didn't realize that they couldn't see each other during deliberations until I saw Isaac start celebrating on screen. My heart jumped in my throat, like WHATAREYOUDOING??! lol Everyone else was keeping such a pokerface, I thought they were all watching each other for slip-ups!
I totally thought the good team had it. Everytime I saw Isaac do a dance or pump his fist ( 1:47:40 ) I thought "You've done it now! Someone must've seen you celebrate!!!" But noone one did.... except Ben.
Coming back to this after watching 2 years of games is wild. Of course a lot of people are still kinda new to it, but you already see the patterns. Carley loves being evil and manipulating everyone, Isaac is both brilliant and mad, Jon unravels and Laurie can't catch a break. Wonderful.

This series actually inspired me to start a board game club with some pals, we've not been going on too long, but we've been playing every Wednesday since. So thank you for everything, cause the board game club we've got going on has really been helping me and my friends through this second lockdown. Love the content and I can't wait for more :)
Watching the dawning realization on Adam's face as he cracks Isaac's play during the vote was priceless. Followed closely by Sully seeing that Isaac voted for himself.
@1D1-Myke yeah it's avoidable just close your eyes, guess where the like button is and then manage to get it fullscreen. It was a minor annoyance, stop defending it please, genuinely, because I can't let things go and it'll seem way bigger than it is.
I have never watched a full play-thru of this game before, but I will most definitely do it again! This was so entertaining! All of the players were brilliant, and watching Jon consistently hammer the “Carly is the empath” like beating a drum was wonderful! Looking forward to the next one! Thanks!!!
The funny thing is... this playlist is backwards, so it autoplays from newest to oldest... Carley is consistently the best player. And on this one, Carley says they'll never trust her again. Yet they do. Because she's just so good. Always a pleasure to watch.
What a dark ending! Adam realizing they've made a horrible mistake in the 11th hour and rushing to stop the tragedy of injustice, only to see evil win.
I keep coming back to this episode, I find it so satisfying to watch. What a performance by Carley! As soon as lockdown eases I'm going to hunt around some board game clubs to find some people to play this with! I've got friends who will play card game/simple games but it's hard to find the right audience for this. Great content as always, looking forward to next months!
Younger, thinner, better, oh god.... Its been tough on us all, mate. But thank you all for doing this. We love the showmanship. You all truly have panache!
Seems like whichever side has Isaac wins lol, Also daaaamn Carley was smug af in those last two rounds, I just started laughing my butt off when she suddenly stuck her tongue out when things bent in her favor
This is honestly the best series I’ve seen in so long on any platform - suspense and humour done perfectly by likeable people. Thanks again to everyone.
I'm so SO happy to see that this is becoming a regular thing. Watching this group play Clocktower is absolutely captivating and I wish I could play with any of them. As far as the game goes itself, the Baron - 3 Outsider Bluff could have worked. Sell Laurie as the drunk, Sully as the Butler, and Isaac as the Recluse. Carley is the fake empath confirmed by Jon's Washer Woman. Evil could have then killed Sully and tried to pitch the idea that Brooke was the minion and that Adam was the demon, because all of the info that he was "confirming" was stuff that was already publicly said up to that point. The Empath bluff would have stayed 1 and they could argue that the Storyteller of course would only give a 1 in this case, because a 2 (off the Recluse) would have been too obvious of a lie. If other players tried to argue why would the Demon kill Sully and not anyone else, well Sully was pretty much 100% believed to be a good player at that point. After all, why would he have openly volunteered to be executed day 1 if he was the Demon. The final vote in the video only had 3 potential world views: the truth of Isaac (Poisoner) and Carley (Demon), the inverse of Isaac (Demon) and Carley (Poisoner), or Isaac (Demon) and Brooke (Poisoner). Those would have stayed, except leaving Adam on the block would have added the world view of Adam (Demon), Brooke (Baron). Just something to take more pressure off of Carley.
It started with my love of quizzlemania then boardgame club has become a favourite of my partners and mine every friday and now we get extra blood on the clock tower. This is fast becoming our favourite channel. More of this wide group of friends playing please, playing anything at all. This week you have spoilt us :)
OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY EDIT: I don't know what it is about this game in particular that's so enthralling. I enjoy all the board game playthrough, but there's something about the atmosphere & intrigue that's more palpable & intense. There's a real sense of impending doom as each day ends & time starts to run out for the good players. Also, whoever edits these videos deserves all the love: it can't be easy editing multiple room meetings like this & keeping the pace leisurely at the beginning & more & more frantic towards the end. Looking forward to monthly Clocktower mysteries! SPOILERS As an aside, I feel a bit petty in being a bit disappointed that Evil triumphed in this particular episode. In Game I Luke was so kind & nice that it would've just been great to see him win: in Game II Adam's play was so bold & diabolical I was rooting for Jon to win. In this game, the sheer bad luck of Jon talking to Carley first, & Carley just happening to choose the correct fake role, was so instrumental to Evil's success that it almost seems unfair in retrospect. Not to take anything away from Carley & Isaac, though - the Good players could have ended this 45 minutes earlier, so kudos to the Imp & Poisoner lasting long enough to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat!
Honestly, I don't think the evil team was that lucky. They played the good guys one against each other really well, especially Jon who has been Carley's alibi for the whole game. Full points from me. Very well played. And might I add that Carley has the sweetest evil smile? 1:54:41 Just as Adam pieced it all together... Chef's kiss.
I think it was simply skewed. Ben said that it's so super easy to make things easier for the good team, and there wasn't once an opportunity to help them during this game.
I’m new to this but I feel like the good team was completely screwed over by the evil team’s luck. They were lucky enough to get the 1/5 chance to poison the only investigative role in the first night, but the person playing that role in question didn’t know that the “random” clue they’d get would favour the evil team. This just sets up an impenetrable defence for Carley, more so when the other investigative role that can check Carley can produce flawed results fundamentally. Maybe I haven’t watched more episodes yet but I feel like the storyteller has so much influence in the presence of a drunk/poisoner/mayor/others that they basically decide the outcome of the game unknowingly.
Every other game of this he's started his first assumption with 'unless I'm drunk or poisoned', and the one time this was pertinent he breezed past it. Great game. So many differing variations
I love the channel. I know that it seems unfair to people but that's a part of playing social deductive games with friends. You have an understanding of your friends' ticks and signs. You will use your past experience and knowledge of said person in the game. You can consider it "meta" or a con on the pros and cons list for social deductive games. What's important is that everyone is having fun. Keep it up Adam and Issac, I personally love your rivalry
Spoiler Adam realizing that Isaac was being so incredibly obvious "I'm the demon" as the votes were being counted was like watching the end of the Usual Suspects when Agent Kujan realized he let Soze just walk out of the station. Brilliant!
What a debut for Evil Genius Carley! Brilliantly played game by her and Isaac! So excited to see this becoming a monthly series! You guys got me into following Blood on the Clocktower streams on Twitch, and it's such a fun game to watch. (Sadly don't have enough people to try playing it myself, would love to be a Storyteller.) (And I liked your Thunderbirds reference, Tom...)
can't get enough of this game. i'm translating it to portuguese to run it for my family on y'all's suggestion. i've run quite a couple of other games featured on boardgame club, they went great! thanks for the great content. also? isaac for mvp for the second game in a row.
AAAAH YOU'VE HEARD MY SOUL CRAVING FOR MOREEE! I really wanted to see more BOTC plays by your bunch of interesting individuals. I don't have friends to play these XD so yeah, let me grab some popcorn
I just discovered your channel a week ago and have watched quite a few videos. The BotC playthroughs are amazing! The gameplay is wonderful and will be an excellent way to introduce new players. The editing is so well done--to give the insight into all the whispers or private chats really makes it entertaining. I'm looking forward to seeing the players get more experienced, and with other characters. Really well done.
Undertaker Adam bluffing as Ravenkeeper is a smart bluff. It makes total sense and is probably a standard bluff for experienced players, but I didn’t think about it
I get the notification and I don’t even think about it... I just click and get excited!!!!!! Let’s go Blood on the Clocktower!!!! Wait! Last one?! Nooooooooooo 😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿
I just spent an additional four hours rewatching the first two episodes, and plan to rewatch this one again because this trilogy is soooo good. Will we be seeing another version of BOTC? Or switching to another trilogy not called Trouble Brewing? Edit: wow I missed it again!!!!! Replayed the first minute a fourth time so I can finally actually hear what Adam was saying! I was too excited the first time hours ago, missed a part of it the second time during my current second rewatch, had to make sure I got everything the third time, and just finished a fourth watching of the same minute! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️I’m sooo sorry 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I just started to watch this and I need to say... THANK YOU for posting this! I really needed this right now! And I'm soooooooo look forward to future sessions using the other scenarios.
I absolutely adore how Sullivan plays this game. I'm just starting this ep, but I had to come here and say that. His painful honesty is 10 kinds of relatable. This game would stress me out so much that I would just scream out everything, too. 🤣
So so happy you guys are doing this. I've been clamoring for this to be monthly feature. Keep up the wonderful work - you guys are doing an amazing job with this channel.

@1D1-Myke yeah it's avoidable just close your eyes, guess where the like button is and then manage to get it fullscreen. It was a minor annoyance, stop defending it please, genuinely, because I can't let things go and it'll seem way bigger than it is.
Thanks to these videos I’ve actually sought out a BotC group in my city and had a great time. Much appreciated No Rolls Barred!
1:37:30 I can’t stop watching Isaac being the most suspicious person ever after carlys defense
I have never watched a full play-thru of this game before, but I will most definitely do it again! This was so entertaining! All of the players were brilliant, and watching Jon consistently hammer the “Carly is the empath” like beating a drum was wonderful! Looking forward to the next one! Thanks!!!
The funny thing is... this playlist is backwards, so it autoplays from newest to oldest... Carley is consistently the best player. And on this one, Carley says they'll never trust her again. Yet they do. Because she's just so good. Always a pleasure to watch.
I'm sad also that Adam didn't change his light to blue and spend ten minutes walking through a fog machine to get to his chair.
"I find it hard to trust an Englishman who says he doesn't like being drunk." Fantastic moment.
What a dark ending! Adam realizing they've made a horrible mistake in the 11th hour and rushing to stop the tragedy of injustice, only to see evil win.
I keep coming back to this episode, I find it so satisfying to watch. What a performance by Carley!
As soon as lockdown eases I'm going to hunt around some board game clubs to find some people to play this with! I've got friends who will play card game/simple games but it's hard to find the right audience for this.
Great content as always, looking forward to next months!
Younger, thinner, better, oh god....
Its been tough on us all, mate. But thank you all for doing this. We love the showmanship. You all truly have panache!
"Im the...the...the recluse..." So good!
Every game of Blood on the Clocktower is like its own TV miniseries and I'm so excited to follow the monthly uploads.
Seems like whichever side has Isaac wins lol, Also daaaamn Carley was smug af in those last two rounds, I just started laughing my butt off when she suddenly stuck her tongue out when things bent in her favor
Love Laurie's depiction of a random video game NPC
This is honestly the best series I’ve seen in so long on any platform - suspense and humour done perfectly by likeable people.
Thanks again to everyone.
I'm so SO happy to see that this is becoming a regular thing. Watching this group play Clocktower is absolutely captivating and I wish I could play with any of them.
As far as the game goes itself, the Baron - 3 Outsider Bluff could have worked. Sell Laurie as the drunk, Sully as the Butler, and Isaac as the Recluse. Carley is the fake empath confirmed by Jon's Washer Woman. Evil could have then killed Sully and tried to pitch the idea that Brooke was the minion and that Adam was the demon, because all of the info that he was "confirming" was stuff that was already publicly said up to that point. The Empath bluff would have stayed 1 and they could argue that the Storyteller of course would only give a 1 in this case, because a 2 (off the Recluse) would have been too obvious of a lie. If other players tried to argue why would the Demon kill Sully and not anyone else, well Sully was pretty much 100% believed to be a good player at that point. After all, why would he have openly volunteered to be executed day 1 if he was the Demon.
The final vote in the video only had 3 potential world views: the truth of Isaac (Poisoner) and Carley (Demon), the inverse of Isaac (Demon) and Carley (Poisoner), or Isaac (Demon) and Brooke (Poisoner). Those would have stayed, except leaving Adam on the block would have added the world view of Adam (Demon), Brooke (Baron). Just something to take more pressure off of Carley.
Tom narrating is just brilliant! I miss him now that there are no CBW episodes.
SULLY AND BLOOD ON THE CLOCKTOWER!!! LETS GO
Thank you for posting all these and keeping daddy Bens reasoning. It is very helpful for us storytellers looking to improve.
Holy shit that final play by the evil team was genius, this series is absolutely glorious and I can't wait for more.
It started with my love of quizzlemania then boardgame club has become a favourite of my partners and mine every friday and now we get extra blood on the clock tower. This is fast becoming our favourite channel. More of this wide group of friends playing please, playing anything at all. This week you have spoilt us :)
Incredible!!!
Brooke had it! Love that Adam figured out issacs play just a hair too late
OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY
EDIT: I don't know what it is about this game in particular that's so enthralling. I enjoy all the board game playthrough, but there's something about the atmosphere & intrigue that's more palpable & intense. There's a real sense of impending doom as each day ends & time starts to run out for the good players.
Also, whoever edits these videos deserves all the love: it can't be easy editing multiple room meetings like this & keeping the pace leisurely at the beginning & more & more frantic towards the end.
Looking forward to monthly Clocktower mysteries!
SPOILERS
As an aside, I feel a bit petty in being a bit disappointed that Evil triumphed in this particular episode. In Game I Luke was so kind & nice that it would've just been great to see him win: in Game II Adam's play was so bold & diabolical I was rooting for Jon to win. In this game, the sheer bad luck of Jon talking to Carley first, & Carley just happening to choose the correct fake role, was so instrumental to Evil's success that it almost seems unfair in retrospect. Not to take anything away from Carley & Isaac, though - the Good players could have ended this 45 minutes earlier, so kudos to the Imp & Poisoner lasting long enough to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat!
Brooke and Sully "are you evil" just brilliant
I felt so bad for Brooke, well played evil team.
Honestly, I don't think the evil team was that lucky. They played the good guys one against each other really well, especially Jon who has been Carley's alibi for the whole game. Full points from me. Very well played.
And might I add that Carley has the sweetest evil smile? 1:54:41 Just as Adam pieced it all together... Chef's kiss.
I think it was simply skewed. Ben said that it's so super easy to make things easier for the good team, and there wasn't once an opportunity to help them during this game.
I’m new to this but I feel like the good team was completely screwed over by the evil team’s luck. They were lucky enough to get the 1/5 chance to poison the only investigative role in the first night, but the person playing that role in question didn’t know that the “random” clue they’d get would favour the evil team. This just sets up an impenetrable defence for Carley, more so when the other investigative role that can check Carley can produce flawed results fundamentally. Maybe I haven’t watched more episodes yet but I feel like the storyteller has so much influence in the presence of a drunk/poisoner/mayor/others that they basically decide the outcome of the game unknowingly.
For all of those things to just line up like that is why I love this game and find these people really entertaining
Isaac plays THE HELL out of this game, EVERY TIME. Bravo.
He has so many brilliant deductions. It’s incredible.
Jon delivered this for the evil team 😂😂
Every other game of this he's started his first assumption with 'unless I'm drunk or poisoned', and the one time this was pertinent he breezed past it. Great game. So many differing variations
pretty much nailed it tbh
So glad the imp finally got a win before you finished trouble brewing
Carley is my new favorite
Poor Brooke... Towards the end, she just has this "These idiots!" look on her face.
I love jon and sully. I desperately need a podcast hosted by them and Adam. Hopefully the data gods would agree that it would do good numbers.
I am so excited that this is a monthly series.. adam I love you more for bringing this to us on a monthly bases.
I am SO happy this’ll continue for a bit. ❤️ Thank you all for the fun. It is much needed.
Love looking at my UA-cam subscriptions and I spot a No Rolls Barred video before I get the notification for it
I love the channel. I know that it seems unfair to people but that's a part of playing social deductive games with friends. You have an understanding of your friends' ticks and signs. You will use your past experience and knowledge of said person in the game. You can consider it "meta" or a con on the pros and cons list for social deductive games. What's important is that everyone is having fun. Keep it up Adam and Issac, I personally love your rivalry
This is such a great show--please keep playing this game. You are all delightful to watch.
Spoiler
Adam realizing that Isaac was being so incredibly obvious "I'm the demon" as the votes were being counted was like watching the end of the Usual Suspects when Agent Kujan realized he let Soze just walk out of the station. Brilliant!
They answered my prayers for more! BILLARD BOYS FOREVER!!
What a debut for Evil Genius Carley! Brilliantly played game by her and Isaac!
So excited to see this becoming a monthly series! You guys got me into following Blood on the Clocktower streams on Twitch, and it's such a fun game to watch. (Sadly don't have enough people to try playing it myself, would love to be a Storyteller.)
(And I liked your Thunderbirds reference, Tom...)
can't get enough of this game. i'm translating it to portuguese to run it for my family on y'all's suggestion. i've run quite a couple of other games featured on boardgame club, they went great! thanks for the great content. also? isaac for mvp for the second game in a row.
I really wish the game never comes out to print, I can continue watching you guys play forever, you guys are amazingly hilarious.
AAAAH YOU'VE HEARD MY SOUL CRAVING FOR MOREEE! I really wanted to see more BOTC plays by your bunch of interesting individuals. I don't have friends to play these XD so yeah, let me grab some popcorn
I just discovered your channel a week ago and have watched quite a few videos. The BotC playthroughs are amazing! The gameplay is wonderful and will be an excellent way to introduce new players. The editing is so well done--to give the insight into all the whispers or private chats really makes it entertaining. I'm looking forward to seeing the players get more experienced, and with other characters. Really well done.
I cannot explain just how happy I am that this is going to be a monthly series. Going to go and rewatch the first two now to celebrate.
Isaac is now Mr. BOTC being the only one with 3 victories, he's great. Also, ARE YOU EVIL?!
I’m pretty sure Isaac is a supergenius
And pulling off a recluse bluff takes balls.
Undertaker Adam bluffing as Ravenkeeper is a smart bluff. It makes total sense and is probably a standard bluff for experienced players, but I didn’t think about it
I get the notification and I don’t even think about it... I just click and get excited!!!!!! Let’s go Blood on the Clocktower!!!!
Wait! Last one?! Nooooooooooo 😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿
ADAM: Last game of Trouble Brewing, but don't you fear, there's MANY more episodes to come, introducing brand new roles to play...
Not the last video thankfully, just the last using this specific set of roles! Dw, there's most likely PLENTY more murder to come
@@NoRollsBarred Oh thank goodness! Because I'm having too much fun watching Laurie give us backstory to his character :) lol
Thank you Plumpy. You will always be Plumpy to me. 😁
I just spent an additional four hours rewatching the first two episodes, and plan to rewatch this one again because this trilogy is soooo good. Will we be seeing another version of BOTC? Or switching to another trilogy not called Trouble Brewing?
Edit: wow I missed it again!!!!! Replayed the first minute a fourth time so I can finally actually hear what Adam was saying! I was too excited the first time hours ago, missed a part of it the second time during my current second rewatch, had to make sure I got everything the third time, and just finished a fourth watching of the same minute! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️I’m sooo sorry 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Best game of BOTCT yet and I'm really glad it's a monthly thing! Everyone here played amazingly
I just started to watch this and I need to say... THANK YOU for posting this! I really needed this right now! And I'm soooooooo look forward to future sessions using the other scenarios.
Carley is AMAZING!!! I would trust her speech 100% too. Pls bring her back on another game.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this series it has really made me want to join a club purely to play this game
Thank you no rolls barred
Congratulations Carley and Isaac and Tom you were born to be a game master
I absolutely adore how Sullivan plays this game. I'm just starting this ep, but I had to come here and say that. His painful honesty is 10 kinds of relatable. This game would stress me out so much that I would just scream out everything, too. 🤣
So so happy you guys are doing this. I've been clamoring for this to be monthly feature. Keep up the wonderful work - you guys are doing an amazing job with this channel.
