Can we play board games without instructions? Let’s talk about that Good Mythical Morning. You know that thing when somebody is explaining the rules of a game and you forget to pay attention and then you play the game without understanding the rules and then, inexplicably always end up losing? I’m sorry. I wasn’t paying attention, J. K. I am not as familiar with that scenario as you, but I have seen it firsthand many times. But what if not knowing the rules to the game was the whole point? What if not knowing the rules was the rules? Sounds like my kind of game. It’s time for Don’t Tell Me How To Have Fun Board Games Without Instructions. Okay, those two guys from YouTube I watched as a kid, in front of you are the pieces to a mystery board game. To help you figure out how to play that game, you have a few lifelines at your disposal. Won’t need them. You can ask a yes or no question. For one point, you can see a short video clip about the game for two points. That sounds informative. For three points, you can roll a die. And whatever number you roll is the number of official rules you get to pull out of a hat. Could be up to six. I like that. And if you don’t figure out the game by the end of the ten minutes, you’ll lose five points. You’re gonna start with twenty, and you need to keep at least one to win. And with that, let us begin. We have some monkeys here. What do these monkeys do, Rhett? They have a spring loaded Hit, much? And you know what this right here is a bag of turds. Yes. They throw turds. Monkeys slinging turds. A lot of people don’t know that, but if you get a baby monkey as a pet, it’s gonna throw dookie at you. Well, at the zoo, I remember I went and saw the chimps, back when I went to zoos. I don’t know what I think about zoos, honestly. And I don’t know what I’m supposed to think. Don’t tell me. Oh, they already did. I’m just, I know that I went to the zoo and a chimpanzee flung dookie at me. Oh, of chimp? Hey, feel that. It feels nice. Chimp dookie. I don’t think it’s a dookie. I think it’s a coconut. Oh, but it’s. It’s rubbery. We’ve got three red, four red baskets, and we’ve got twenty-five yellow baskets, and we have these nice little placards here. These are identical, in every way, shape and form. And form. See, it seems to me, since they’re identical, I don’t know what the red line would be here for. But maybe if we put that over here. Give me one of these. And you take one. I mean, clearly you’re trying to get the turds into the bucket. Oh, I dropped one on the ground. Right, but something about. Here’s all your turds and they’re coconuts. You put the baskets. Why do you have so many yellows? What’s the point of the red? Is maybe red worth a different? I bet you at a certain. Well, I bet you when you miss, you gotta replace the yellow with a red basket. Okay, explain how you came up with that. Because you said that so confidently. When you miss it, you replace it with a red basket. Well, you’ve got yellow baskets and you put these here. Stevie, I’m explaining how this works. I’m here. So. And then, so what I do is I put a handful of turd. Oh, and you’re trying to get it into mine. And I’m trying to get it into yours. I’m trying to get it into yours. Oh, that was close. And so I’m gonna go right into yours. It bounced in. That doesn’t seem legal. And then. So, now you replace that with a red? I replace this with a red. I don’t know why that would be the case. And you’re trying to get all three. Because there’s only. There’s four. That doesn’t make any sense because there could be. I love how these turds don’t roll. Oh, I went in your mug almost. I got it down here. Okay, Stevie, how right are we? I think we have it, are we missing? You have some elements, but you don’t have enough to consider correctness. But you do have a bunch of lifelines that you could deploy. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Yes or no questions. Only one point. Yes or no. Ask me the yes or no question. I’ll tell you if it’s worthy. Red, the thing about, do you have to replace the yellow with the red? You know that’s not true. Well, then don’t ask it. Well, I didn’t want to make you feel bad, because you came up with it and you sound so confident. Let’s go with the instructions. Let’s watch a video. Let’s watch a video. Two points. You wanna watch a video? I don’t think we’re gonna learn anything, but I love videos. Yeah. That’s why I got into this business. That’s what we do. Okay. Now, those are green turds. Yeah, that’s different. Oh, it says Coconuts. Why did we get the brown ones? So we. Did you? We learned something. Okay, so it’s an arrangement. There’s an arrangement and we’re both going towards the same stack. It’s basically pong. It’s a drinking game for children. Once you land in a red one, as I’ll do right now. You remove it. You remove it. Oh, gosh. Why are coconuts brown? Yeah, their coconuts aren’t ripe. Close. Right here. Oh, yes. I did it. Alright, so I hit the red one and then that leaves the yellow one. And now once I hit the yellow one, it’s removed. And the goal is to remove. Fill up your baskets with coconuts or turds and remove them. Correct. Clear the other baskets before he clears my basket. Correct. Is that a yes or no question? No, that’s my guess. Yeah. It’s wrong. What else do we need? Well, you can roll a die for three points and then get that many rules. Give us. Yeah, let me roll. I’m feeling lucky. Just one? Six. I’m feeling so lucky. I mean, is there even more than six instructions? Six rules. Begin with the youngest, take turns shooting one coconut with a launcher. Hold the launcher somewhere behind the line on your player board. All right, so, that’s behind the line. So we’re on the wrong side of the line. Read another one. Shoot your coconut straight and true to collect them in the basket. But beware the monkey magic that might monkey with you. When a player successfully shoots a coconut into the cup and it doesn’t bounce out, they take the cup and place it in a free spot on their board. So, you start with these off and then this is, this is a. I think we’re both shooting at the same thing and trying to clear out the. We’re both shooting at the same thing. No, no, no, no. This is my board and I indicate I think I’m trying. If player takes a red cup, they may shoot one more time. Oh, you get. Okay. Of the first three spaces. Once the first three spaces are filled. Yes. Stack additional cups into the pyramid. So, as you successfully sink the coconut turds. The first player to complete a full pyramid wins the game. So, there we have it. It’s called Coconuts. And this is how you do it. And we just did it. There is basically six steps. No. When I land in one of yours. Let’s just say that stayed in. Hold on, but what do you mean? Where are mine to begin with? Once the first three spaces are filled, stack additional cups into a pyramid. Oh, a pyramid. Like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like this. Once you do that, and then once you’ve made a pyramid. But, what are you shooting at? Thirty seconds. That guy’s thing? That’s the main question that you need to win. We don’t have that yet. Is it, are you shoot? Are you both shooting at the same thing? Are you both shooting at your, each other’s? You wanna ask me a yes or no question? Yes. You are shooting at each other’s cups? Incorrect. Yeah, you’re shooting at the same thing. Like I told you, man. Okay, well, they’re all over here. And then this shouldn’t be here, but it is. Because I’m not moving this. And time. We were so close. What are we missing? Well, let me. I’ll show you. I’ll show you the video. Okay. You’ll use your monkey to shoot coconuts into cups. Yeah. You’re right next to them. If you make the shot, you keep the cup. The first player to collect six cups wins. Here’s what it looks like for two players and how it looks for four players. If your coconut lands. In a cup and doesn’t bounce out, you get the cup. Place it on a free space on your map. Once you’ve filled the three spaces, stack your cups to create a pyramid. First, you take turns and only shoot one coconut at a time. Unless, you get a red cup. Red cups give you an extra shot you can steal. Don’t get too excited about it. The coconut lands in another player’s cup. It’s all yours. We would have gotten it if they had given us the right color coconuts. Where was the adult supervision here? I gotta say that the Mythical crew had an added challenge. It’s called Crazy Coconuts. But look at the box that we received. Well, read the. Read it. Crazy Coconuts. What is that, Swedish? I believe that’s Deutsch. Yeah, that’s German. But, you know, you tried, and that isn’t worth any points unfortunately. We’re too old for this. Yes. I’m so disappointed in us. Your time starts now. Spring loaded board. Oh, check this out. It says booby trap. And it’s got numbers. Five, four, three, two one. Five, four, three, two, one. Five, four, three, two, one. And we have three different colors, so I think that. Yeah, watch yourself. It’s like a freaking guillotine. So, the booby goes in here? Yeah, it’s a nipple pincher. I think this is like. I think this is for a mammogram. This is an ancient mammogram machine. Look, they’re the height of. There’s nothing on the back. They’re the height of each one of those spaces, right? Correct. If you were to take five of those red ones and stack them up, would they equal the? We got. That means you’re on the right track. Yes. Yes, Rhett, keep going. And I think that you’ve got some that are five. Right? So, you didn’t wanna do this? No. Can you verify the distance? See? Oh, and you see what happens there? When you stack these things this way, it, like, starts to slide. That makes more sense. And then what you would do is if you added another one. So, what is the point of that? Is it just a point system? See how it all moves down? So, you’re trying to be the person, the first person to get to? It’s like the opposite of Tetris. So, place it flat. We have a top down shot. You don’t have to show them. Okay, so if we took all these out, right, and it was just like, all right. Well, let’s just keep building and see what happens. Because if I? Just put a bunch of them in there. See, when you, when I pull this back, and then, oh, I wonder if you, do you hit it or do you gently do it? No, I don’t think you would hit it. I think you pull it. And you think you? No, no, I think you’re right. I think it’s like this because this is where you do. I. I was just saying, is this. It’s not even the same height, so that wouldn’t even make sense. Is it? Right, right. It’s not. So, what the goal is, you’re trying to be the first person. But why is this one, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five. Why isn’t it just like one to ten? And you’re trying to be the first person to get to ten. Is this a one player game? Is this? I want to ask, is this a solitary game? Make it a yes or no. I’m going to ask, are there more than one player? Okay. Is this game more than one player? Yes. Okay. So, that leads me to. How do you know that? So, let’s take all these out for a second. Right? So if you went first. If you don’t know who’s placed anything. It doesn’t matter. Like, if you went first, you might be like, oh, I’m gonna do red. And I pull it back so I would play. So I’m putting in red, and now you would be like, you go next. But did you take this thing and did you smack it? There’s no smacking. Why is there no smack? Oh, I just stepped, stepped on a monkey turd. Yep. Let’s just remove the smacking from our minds for a second. Okay. You could ask, is there smacking? But I don’t think there is because it doesn’t really make any sense for there to be smacking. So then you would go and you would try to balance that on top of the other thing. You’re not trying to go to the side of it. Yes, and I bet you I can only touch the nipple. So, once I get to these big nipples, and then I’m like, yes, I’ve done something. Oh, see, you screwed it. See, but it seems like I’m cheating by. You are cheating. You can’t do that. You can only touch. Oh, you’re bad. Oh, this is hard. And let’s just. It’s the opposite of Tetris. Let’s ramp up the game to where it’s like we’ve been playing a while. We’ve been failing. Why had we chosen any? What is the point of what we’ve chosen? Well, that we have to find that out. Oh, you know what? You can only play with reds until you get to the first five, and then you have to move to blues. And then the final round is yellows. I don’t. That doesn’t ring true to me. Well, then what’s the point of the three sections? I think it’s. You can win the round and then you keep going. So it’s. But I don’t know how you win a round. I think we need a video because then we’ll see the board. Yeah. I love. We love videos. That’s what we do. Video. Welcome back to. Look at the box. See the play? To start, pull back the spring bar and randomly place all of the pieces. All of the pieces. Oh, that helps a lot. Randomly place all of the pieces, and they have to be up. Whatever, you know. Yes, yes, yes. Random. Oh, and then. We’re so random. And then you’re pulling them out because they have little nipples. Yes. We should. I feel stupid that we didn’t figure that out. Yeah, yeah. Like, you start with it. I was about to. And then. Okay, and now what? Let’s just see what happens if I pull one out, and you want to see. And now it’s gonna. You lose points for every time that it moves. No, hold on. Well, see, that didn’t move. Okay, now you pull one. So, the object of the game is, I’m trying to not get it to move. And when it does move, you get penalized. See, like this one. See that? I just. I just lost some points, right? Did we do it? That was it. Did I explain it? Did I say it? Let’s see how the video does it. Okay. Welcome back to obscure board games. This is Booby Trap. To start, pull back the spring bar and randomly place all of the pieces into the board. On your turn, choose any piece in the board and try to remove it without moving the spring bar. The pieces are worth different amounts of points based on size. The small yellow pieces are worth one point, the medium blue worth two, and the large red pieces are worth three. Once you touch a piece, you must either commit to removing it or pass your turn. If you successfully remove a piece from the board, add it to your score pile. However, if you remove a piece and the spring moves more than one mark along the side of the board, you lose three points. Keep these pieces separate from your score pile and subtract the total from your final score. The game ends when there are as many pieces left in the board as there are players. The one with the most points when this happens is the winner. Booby Trap. This is my kind of game. And I love the fact that, like, see, like, when I. Nipples. When I touched one, I was like, oh, that’s that. I can tell that’s a good one. I’ve already committed to it. Right? See, there you go. And then there’s other ones that you touch, and you’re like, oh, no. See, that one doesn’t move, so I get to keep that one. And then there’s like, oh, this one. Oh, this one’s really tight, but I’ve touched it, so I just pass. Okay, so then. Oh, see? Great for a rainy day. We have crafted an exclusive vinyl.

I think this is teaching kids how to, like, make out with. With birds in public. Actually, there’s some Skittle looking things here. Oh, and they each have something on the back. There’s one, two, three, four, five, six, seven green ones, Rhett. And then there’s. There’s a switch. Oh, there we go. Is it a chicken? Hold on, before you do that. That was not a good one, because. The green ones. This is a sick mouse. I think it’s when I’m about to make out with it. It makes noise. The sick mouse on this one. See, that didn’t do. Oh, look. Okay, so if you look inside the chicken’s mouth, if you dare. The chicken. It’s not a chicken. What is it then? It is a chicken, isn’t it? I was like, oh, is it a duck? I thought it was a seabird. Now, listen, you haven’t made out with enough chickens if you think this is a seabird, okay? Because you know how seabirds, they do this. Yeah, big throats. I think that this is weight, weighted in here. So, for instance, if I put all these in here, watch. Eventually, it’s going to fall. Sounds like a chicken. It’s about to fall. That’s all I got. I have a dice. Well, look. It looks like. What are you doing? Oh, you try to. I think this is part of it. You try to get it out. Good. So reach in there. Reach in there and pull out something. Oh, you’re trying to make it where it? I don’t want it to know. I don’t want the seabird to know that I’m going in. That you’re putting your arm down its throat? So, what? Oh, it burped. Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it. Oh, it won’t let go. Okay, I got it. All right. Oh, our dice. Are some good and some bad? I thought so, but then The yellow ones are like a heart, intestines, and a liver. So, they’re organs. This is part of the chicken, and this is stuff the chicken ate, including a cell phone. It’s not from the forties. Oh, yeah. If you pull. If you pull out part of the chicken, you kill it. Oh, if you’re the one who pulls out the last yellow one, you kill the chicken. It’s called choke the chicken. Choking the chicken. We got it. We didn’t even need any help. Without any help. We need no help. It is not called choke the chicken. It’s called the Crazy Chicken Game. But let’s take a look at how it’s played. Help the crazy chicken by removing from his stomach. Eat that boy. Eat that boy. Yeah. Choke that chicken. Pass the crazy chicken. And each player takes a turn to remove one object he ate. But be careful. Don’t take out his guts. Whoever removes the third gut is out of the game. That’s exactly what I said. Oh, they put a real chicken in there. And it is a chicken. Which. Well, that could be a chicken of the sea. We don’t know. We had to figure that out. It could be a chicken that lives on the coast, it could be a coastal chicken, a seabird, if you will. You won. You won the game. Yes, we’re game masters. You know, there’s no prize. The prize is that you don’t have to endure the punishment of being a sore loser and doing squats in Good Mythical More so, that’s nice. Yeah. This is fun. Let’s do this again. Do you want to take that home with you? It seems like you do. Well. Oh, God. Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. No. You know what time it is.
