I respect that Laurie plays the game in the exact same way I would. If you don't win by the tunnel, then can you really call it a win? A coward's win. Also, here's a beaver fact for you. All beavers are bastards. Source: Am Canadian.
Rosie's luck in this game is very impressive, her ability to incorrectly guess so many times in a row! She spent so much of the games just at the beginning haha.
Matt choosing higher at the end of the second game was actually quite savvy. He either creates another amazing moment in the game or he gives Sullivan the chance to win. He knows his audience.
Aww... No actual beaver facts in the end? Fine, I'll do it myself! Here's 13 facts about beavers: 1. In additions to dams and burrows, beavers also build pantries. They are smaller and located at the bottom of the lake/river, so it's hard to really spot them. Beavers use those to store food for winter. 2. They don't always build dams either. Only when they need to regulate the water level. When it's sufficent or when the river is more than 10 meters wide, they will opt to build a tunnel or a burrow. 3. Beavers' homes can only be entered form the bottom. Then you go up an underwater tunnel and you end up in a dry little room. Cozy! 4. Their building materials consist of not only sticks, but also other vegetation, rocks and even mud to seal the gaps. They will often use land features like fell trees across the river, culverts, weirs or fish passes to help them with dam building. Also they can build canals to help them transport building material or food from further feeding areas. They float their things down those canals, sorta like beaver conveyor belts. 5. Beavers feel a natural urge to build when they hear flowing water. It's a natural instinct to them, like chasing the red, fast moving dot for a cat. Even if you turn on the sink, their beaver brains would interpretate it as a leak in the dam and they would try to clog it up. 6. Unlike Rosie Nicklesback said, beavers do not fish. They are herbivores and feed mainly on treebark and leafs. They usualy feed up to 20 meters away from water. Their favourite trees are aspen and willow and although they can fell large trees, they prefer to feed on saplings. Yummy! 7. Beavers are semi-aquatic mamals, rodents to be more specific. It might come as a surprise to some people, as they are much larger than your typical rodent, have very un-ratlike tails and webbed feet. To others, the teeth might give it away. 8. Speaking of wich, beaver teeth are naturally orangish yellow in colour. But that's not because they are stinkies and don't wash them. That's because their enamel, unlike human enamel, contains iron wich makes their teeth strong enough to chew through wood. 9. Beavers can hold their breath for up to 15 minutes and they can swim up to 8 km/h, that's two times faster than human. 10. Beavers have a third eyelid, wich is transparent. It protects their eyes while swimming underwater. 11. Glands on their butts produce castoreum. A substance that smells and tastes like vanilla. It can be used to produce perfume, flavour food or even, according to some, to reduce anxiety, cure isomnia, help with menstrual cramps and other ailments. For the longest time, vanilla ice-cream were made using what's essentially the sweat out of beavers' butt. Yuck! Beavers would rather mix it with urine and use to mark their territory (or Terri-tory if you're french). Sadly, overhunting for their castoreum, fur or even meat led to their endangerment. But thanks to efforts in conservation, they are making their return! 12. Despite being rodents, beavers don't reproduce very fast. They have only one litter with 2-4 young per year. Baby beavers are called kits and live with their parents until they're 2 years old. Beavers usually live in groups of 8, wich are called colonies. 13. Beavers can slap their tails against water creating a loud powerful sound to warn other beavers of danger. Do I get to go first? 🥺
I liked the video at that point, I often make tea for others as I don't drink it myself and the first time making tea for someone new, I ask how they like it which amazes them as if noone beforehand has ever done so. I would have thought that should be common practice, like asking how rare you want your beef. x:x
@@nihkhdtigerson1599it really should be a common practice! One time when I said yes to tea it was a surprise Earl Grey. From someone who knew how serious my citrus allergy is, but didn’t realise all the Greys have citrus oil in them.
The amount of guests NRB has have that I never thought they would get, from Becca Scott, Tomska, and even Ivan from the Traitors! I don't know who Matt is, but this feels important as well HAHAAHAHA
*while doing a google search* " Look at this freaking dude lol got no clue what they're talking abo........*reads the google results*.....ah.....well holy piss"
Matt was such a great sport in that very first game letting Sully win. Unfortunately nobody got through the tunnel, that would've been so thrilling to see! Maybe next time someone gets it right.
Really fun game. Love the bits about Laurie’s win being a practice game throughout the video xD. Matt fit in really well with the group, would be happy to see him appear again in other videos if that was on the table.
@@Lou-Lou. the guy is clearly playing into the 'bit' that Rosie, Sully and Matt were joking around saying that the outcome of the first game was invalidated because it was a 'trial run'. I don't expect many people read the comments before watching boardgameclub content as it usually spoils the winners etc.
@Hyrulistic problem is that only becomes apparent if you don't skip it, and as this channel often has rules at the beginning people often come down to the comments to find time stamps for the beginning, and as these people haven't seen the video they won't get the sarcasm, as I didn't when I wrote the comment.
Considering they've mentioned that Laurie isn't an actor/theater kid like many of the rest of them are, he certainly held his own with Dom. In addition to being a legend at "13 Beavers," he's apparently a natural at acting.
My game of 13 Beavers was delivered today, couldn't resist buying this. As a tutor it'll be nice to play probability games with students without having to rely on 80s gameshows like Play Your Cards Right. Especially with so many mechanics to the game!
Laurie, your win was so incredible and made the game so short that the others were just in awe of your skills. Congrats to all of the winners. This looks like a fun (more appropriately - thrilling) game. I almost guessed every one of Laurie's Tempting Tunnel guesses correctly, I was amazed by my accuracy then I paused the video and came back not too long after to fudge it up except for the very last one (only two wrong guesses when I returned).
Can someone make a compilation of all of Rosie's Reactions to the sheer amount of unluckiness? Her face is gold every time it happens. I've never seen bad luck like it.
Lovely stuff. Shame that Laurie couldn't get through the tunnel at least once, but such is life. Looking forward to seeing what MtG stuff you have planned.
I have been conditioned to never believe when people say what they're doing next in series like this so every week I get surprised when they actually hold their promise
We just picked up this game. To show my daughter how to play we watched this video together. She played for the first time tonight and managed to make it through the tempting tunnel with the last card in the pile before needing to reshuffle.
There's so many games I would love to see videos on again. The Thing The Boardgame, Chinatown, Good Cop Bad Cop, Dead of Winter - even if they were Patreon only
As I sit here watching them play this game, announcing every card as higher or lower, I have a flashback. All I can see is Jim Perry (and later Bob Eubanks) hosting Card Sharks. For those of you in the UK, it was Play Your Cards Right. Yep, I'm definitely old.
Get ready to see NRB play MAGIC: THE GATHERING this Saturday!!!
I wish it were feasible to play mtg cube 😂 (no person watching would understand what is going on, but I swear it's the best)
Nice can't wait
Hopefully u can try commander I believe it can be played with 4 players
Jund 'em out!
@@FelipeBudinich Oh, that would be something. Can you imagine Jon drafting? I'd love to see that! The sheer manic energy!
I'm genuinely as impressed by Rosie's terrible luck in this game as I was with Laurie's successful "tempting tunnel."
What tunnel? :P
Her terrible luck was due to her terrible facts
If 12 people (13 now) really have got through the Tunnel of Temptation, how about naming the beavers after them?
+

Might have been the same person multiple times.
Laurie's going to be chasing that high for the rest of his gaming career
I'm sure that Teri wasn't allowed to play because she would beat everyone else without allowing them to get another turn. 😂
Well she did demonstrate her psychic abilities in the Candy Land video.
@@Housenflou and this one, 6 was 9 upside down and 13 combined is 8, she can see into the future
I love her guess was 6 just upside down lol mine was 9 that was too funny.
6:15 Rosie's glance at the camera when Laurie says, "I'm so tempted by the tunnel at all times," speaks volumes.
I’m surprised how emotionally invested I became just as a spectator.
nice pfp

Laurie & Don arguing over Tea. Amazing that was!

Weird that the first game starts at 15:41
so much setup and rules explanation
I don't know which is funnier. The way the rest of the cast gaslights Laurie or the way he gaslights himself! 😆
I can only imagine how good it would be to see Jon play this. The tempting tunnel + King Roll? Pure entertainment.
Remember people, the first game was just a test game. It's just there for them to familiarize themselves with the rules.
what do you mean first game? the first 15 minutes of this video is just white noise
What first game? They don't explain the rules at all this video.
Ah you're right, I must've been confusing it with someone else playing it.
10:59 ITS HIM! THE THIRTEENTH BEAVER!
Lisan al'Beav!
The amount of guests NRB has have that I never thought they would get, from Becca Scott, Tomska, and even Ivan from the Traitors! I don't know who Matt is, but this feels important as well HAHAAHAHA
Do you mean Ivan Brett from The Traitors, or “Ivan Brett from The Traitors”?
Matt is a radio DJ and now inventor of board games and party games. Obama Llama is a particular favourite of mine
@@Veggieman87 Ivan Brett from the traitors was my favorite early 20th century radio personality shame he disappeared on that island
@@skyblazeeternoshe was on the most recent Blood On The Clocktower episode
@@skyblazeeternoif you happen to like Oxventure, they had Ellen and Jane before that
Game starts at 15:37 guys
I only wish they hadn't immediately slipped up by asking Rosie for "another" beaver fact to start the "first" game ever played on the channel🤣
Can’t believe the tempting tunnel is just Guess the Card
Can't wait for an expansion involving Hot Bucket, Cold Bucket
Reminds me of one-sabi with Oli and Pete.
15:54 Beavers neither fish nor do they eat fish. They're herbivores
Likely she confused them for otters, but it seems to be a common misconception.
"Beavers eat fish" feels like it SHOULD be true and, in 2024, that's enough to make it a fact.
She probably got it mixed up with the other beaver fact... "Beavers smell like fish"
*cough*
*while doing a google search* " Look at this freaking dude lol got no clue what they're talking abo........*reads the google results*.....ah.....well holy piss"
@@LycanSoul I'm surprised this is a surprise to you. Everyone knows beavers eat trees
“THIS IS A TEN”
10:58
NRB version of “THIS IS SPARTA”.
Matt was such a great sport in that very first game letting Sully win. Unfortunately nobody got through the tunnel, that would've been so thrilling to see! Maybe next time someone gets it right.
Laurie moment was a 10/10
there was something really funny about Rosie basically not being able to play
Really fun game. Love the bits about Laurie’s win being a practice game throughout the video xD. Matt fit in really well with the group, would be happy to see him appear again in other videos if that was on the table.
I like how having the same number twice in a row is an auto-damn, vs some other games that make it so it's an insta-loss.
Laurie refusing to learn is ironic considering he claimed that blair couldnt learn during galaxy trucker lols
Right into my list of favorite episodes of all time.
Laurie's tunnel temptation was actually sick, had me screamin 😂
Guys, the video starts at 15:30!
Everything before that is just some demo round that I think the editors forgot to cut...
Thank me later.
But someone else says 10:58 is their favourite moment ever - who to believe??
Time will tell if I should have taken your advice, this and more at 11!
They left it in for a reason, spoil sport
This comment needs downvoting so people don't miss one of the greatest board gaming moments in history!

Teri would go through the tunnel every time. As we saw in CandyLand she is great at guess the card
Rosie: Beavers....fish
Me:....googling feverishly... yes, i thought so. They are vegetarians
I am genuinely more impressed that rosy correctly guessed lower on a three than laurie's tempted tunnel success
Finally, a reprieve from Laurie's experience in Blood on the Clock Tower
10:58 LORRY REALLY HIT THAT GOD DAMN
13 Beavers, with the 13th guess at the tempting tunnel, all completed in 13 minutes
The promo for magic was amazing. What a performance.
Considering they've mentioned that Laurie isn't an actor/theater kid like many of the rest of them are, he certainly held his own with Dom. In addition to being a legend at "13 Beavers," he's apparently a natural at acting.
Laurie and Dom screaming at each other about Tea is something I will never understand as an American.
That editing on the tension music was so good 😂👏👏
very proud I got 2 tempting tunnel guesses right! shame no one else did in this video at any point whatsoever
Changing up the games on the shelves in the background is always a nice touch. It's visually interesting and has me out researching new games.
Laurie really committed during the tea bit. I was afraid he'd burst a vessel!
The intense drums got me soooooo badly by the end. 😂😂😂
11:00 That's the most heart of the cards thing I think I've ever seen...
Definitely didn’t spend half of the episode quietly singing “beaver in paradiseeeee” to the tune of cheeseburger in paradise
My game of 13 Beavers was delivered today, couldn't resist buying this. As a tutor it'll be nice to play probability games with students without having to rely on 80s gameshows like Play Your Cards Right. Especially with so many mechanics to the game!
Well it's good to see that Laurie's board game strength lies in a simple children's game requiring preschool level maths.
"THIS IS A TEN!"
Damn what a play!

1:02:00 - if you take 13 and combine the digits you get 8. Terri is clairvoyant and no one can prove me wrong.
I can see why Matt Edmondson and Jon Gracey are friends now, they are so unbelievably alike!
Laurie has officially done the greatest Card Reveal thing on NRB ever. Better than A.B. by a long shot.
Lovely stuff. Shame that Laurie couldn't get through the tunnel at least once, but such is life. Looking forward to seeing what MtG stuff you have planned.
We asked 100 people over 40: "Is Bruce Forsyth spinning in his grave?"
Coming from Oregon "THE BEAVER STATE" I can confirm that beavers do not eat fish.
I forgot, you can confirm with Blair.
Gotta say, loved Matt Edmunds on on this. Really fitted the vibe and would love to see more of him
The slow mo was so good! You all are awesome!
38:38
Laurie: Would you like to touch it and get a feeling for what might be in it?
As a sucker for press-your-luck mechanics, I picked this up while watching XD Looks like it'll be an absolute blast!
I have been conditioned to never believe when people say what they're doing next in series like this so every week I get surprised when they actually hold their promise
1:02:35 Laurie had it! Terri gave him the 13 guess, and he said if you put 1 and 3 togther its an 8, it was right there!
Game starts at 15:32 if you wanna skip the description and the (weirdly long imo) sponsor
I loved this silly game.
We just picked up this game. To show my daughter how to play we watched this video together. She played for the first time tonight and managed to make it through the tempting tunnel with the last card in the pile before needing to reshuffle.
I got invested.. not least because of Rosie's shocking bad luck!
To be fair.... quite good use of the fish.
I loved the their screaming. I literally learned MTG 4 days ago so I am excited!
I do believe that two British People would indeed have such heated arguments over Tea.
I’m a bit puzzled that Sully wasn’t involved. He’s the tea expert on NRB.
Rosie is adorable, even when being consistently being beat down by the luck monster.
The way I see it, if nobody's dammed past the tunnel you may as well go for it. It is the early game after all
You'd think, but given the occasional epic struggle to get past space 3 I'm not sure that holds 😄
owner of the game looks like one of the doctors dressed like that
We right enjoyed playing along with Laurie on the tunnel 👍😃 lol
After watching this playthrough yesterday I picked this up at my FLGS. looking forward to playing it!!
10:58 Iconic! This is one of the best NRB moments of all time!!!
Can’t wait to watch this when I get home from work!
Guess the Card is basically the favourite game of the NRB crew. Of course Laurie was going to do the Tempting Tunnel.
Amazing video ! Could you guys play older games again ? Like hit the silk , cockroach poker , skulls , diamant , werewords
they are!! they said previously that patreon got to vote on games theyll replay in august!
There's so many games I would love to see videos on again. The Thing The Boardgame, Chinatown, Good Cop Bad Cop, Dead of Winter - even if they were Patreon only
they played diamant last live stream, check it out
@@cjackdc Saw that, loved seeing it again!
@@cjackdc damn! Thanks! Imma check it out
What a fun game and fun video! This game reminds me of snakes and ladders, but with push your luck element.
'THIS IS A TEN', 'The 13th Beaver has been found', & 'I am the Beaver Messiah' are some of the greatest lines I have ever heard.
What a shame Laurie never made it through that tunnel.
Just bought 13 beavers! Very excited to play!
Great game and excellent gaming😂. Also invite Matt back he was awesome🤘
Good to know teri is still an expert at predicting cards, even if it is a bit disoriented…
27:00 Rosei staying on a 2 gives me Austin Powers "I'll stay." energy.
This is chaos I am currently watching a short of this right now
Wow, a game with beavers, tempting tunnels and no demonitising comments 😮
Just in time to watch as soon as it's uploaded 😎
Laurie looks like he gives good hugs.
Beavers do not, in fact, fish or eat fish. They actually make dams so that they can keep water deep/ cold enough to preserve the leaves they eat.
Gee I sure can't wait to wake up and start the day!
My sleep paralysis demons: 14:04
As I sit here watching them play this game, announcing every card as higher or lower, I have a flashback. All I can see is Jim Perry (and later Bob Eubanks) hosting Card Sharks. For those of you in the UK, it was Play Your Cards Right. Yep, I'm definitely old.
"Is this a line he's used before?" Thank you, Matt! OMG, I am absolutely dying! 🤣
Please bring Matt back on to play games more often, he’s class!
I literally just watched Hundreds of Beavers before seeing this video.
Tea squabbles is legit the most British thing there is, and I love it
