everybody loves a good board game especially when it’s raining or you’re on a group date but what’s the best board game ever I’m Anthony rose from LaGrange Kentucky let’s talk about that [Music] [Applause] good mythical morning don’t choke the people just getting their rent it seemed like you were choking them today’s episode is brought to you by the rhett and Link community thousands of mythical beasts are over there just making things happen left and right join up conversate and create be your mythical best we’re in the business if you haven’t noticed if figuring out what the best things ever are but we don’t presume to do that just in a vacuum where were you know the two of us inside of a vacuum but we do it with them we have been in a vacuum before though is a very large vacuum probably sold by catalyst it makes you expand anyway last week we asked you who is the best superhero ever we have tabulated your results in the video comments and responses and the best superhero ever is best superhero ever because she doesn’t even need superpowers a Batman no I wasn’t plastic man I’ll keep him all to myself unfortunately Hawkman did not show too well in this sport in the final in the score I was surprised he did get one vote I think I don’t I don’t know who it could have been from but he did get one vote okay it’s time to move on and ask bigger larger better or at least different questions I think it’s just different at this point what’s the best board game ever what is the best board game ever you know board games in some ways have fallen a little bit out of fashion because you’ve got the video games but nothing brings a family together it’s family time you know old people and young people can play together I guess that happens in video games now like on the weak you know you can be on tennis with your with like your great granddad he’s like we’re but boarding school board games are uh your meniscus is in your knee I think it will he find that puts his knee into it uh but everybody’s played board game since they were a kid we played him a little bit in my family growing up yeah I to me board games were the things that when you would go and spend the night at a friend’s house when you were little you rummaged through all of their toys and you pull out some of their board games oh I don’t even know I didn’t even still have that yeah kind of thing but at your house I don’t really recall there being much of a board game closet we had board games like when we were really young I’m talking like Candyland chutes and ladders yeah I vote like when we were really young and then it just wasn’t something we really did for the rest of our lives I would do it at other people’s house I would do it at friends houses here um now when the families get together my sister-in-law she she’s a big board game person she likes us to play board games we’ve only played like once or twice in the past like 15 years yeah it’s not just for kids and she has all been successful kids and adults alike and everyone in between feel free to vote in the comments and just as importantly submit your video response with your argument for what is the best board game ever we’d love to feature you if you represent the winner next Friday yeah what I was gonna say we’ve got a list just like always your favorite board game that you think is the best board game ever might be on the list it might not if it’s not just added in the comments that’s the way it works around here before you vote you might want to hear us out because we’re each gonna take one and give an argument for why it’s the best board game ever yes we are here’s a preliminary list of ones that we are not representing ourselves monopoly very popular game chess game of kings checkers is also on a board a game of people who are too stupid to play chess that’s not necessarily true well you know it’s the introductory it’s like you start off with checkers your kids get checkers down and then you move them on a chess checkers is like chess that can be played in the lobby of a cracker Bill you know just enough time to get seated at a Cracker Barrel right okay you can’t do that by the way Scrabble mm-hmm it’s like words for friends except it’s on a board in real life well Scrabble is the sort of the template for words with friends oh that’s how it works it also gets you kicked off airplanes Trivial Pursuit clue don’t play Trivial Pursuit with an old person have you ever played Trivial Pursuit with an old person unless you play like to get the updated edition that’s got like movie trivia if you play like the classic Trivial Pursuit with a tall person you will know nothing and they will know everything but because it’s because old people know trivial things what are you trying to say right because the game is old and when all that when they created the trivia they knew it clue is a great game the professor with the candlestick in the library also a good movie in that movie yes was it a movie this big battleship is going to be a movie it is I don’t know is it gonna be like two guys playing battleship really intensely yes the new battleship is smaller at least the one that we have in my house one that’s called travel size you moron oh really I thought I just grown up and got a lot bigger you know a games got it going on if they could justify the expense of creating a travel science version those don’t exist anymore do they the game of life which I just called a life I remember that the game of life remember correctly it had a fake plastic Hill so the board game went 3d at some point I think that’s life I don’t know I didn’t play it a lot but I liked the concept of being able to succeed at a game and say I am succeeding at the game of life and hoping that carries over into life in general but it could get more of it you know there could be car accidents or medical diagnosis I got killed in the game of life that’s not good Settlers of Catan very popular game you own this game it was Daniel gave it to you for your birth or good friend Daniel he gifted the game to me I’ve yet to unwrap it from the shrink-wrap that doesn’t mean I don’t love it and want to play it don’t tell him that he doesn’t work apples to apples I do not know if this game it’s really popular if they sell it at all the big box stores and people seem to like it sorry the thing I love about sorry two things first of all you’ve got the you know you hit the sound that it makes when you spin the dice which is enclosed in a dome that’s trouble yeah trouble that’s sorry that’s trouble sorry have one of those too I love the thing about sorry that it Midori you think that it’s trouble what do you Canadian yeah I also like sorry because it ends with an exclamation point like that’s not the way to say you’re sorry with an exclamation sorry yeah so sorry chutes and ladders you’ve already mentioned yes here’s a great one operational yeah the man in the leg it’s got electricity running through it has a game with the electricity running to it who then kill you and you can give it to little children and they can be electrocuted who’s not to love that mousetrap it’s a board game but then it can just be reduced to a toy hmm and it never worked perfectly ever in the history of the game you’d have to all go in there and you have to poke poke poke poke certain parts to make it continue to work yeah I think that’s where Facebook got that concept from huh you mentioned Candyland seen it that’s that’s a contemporary one there’s DVD versions of that but it still has a board I believe I don’t like DVD bass games yeah Hungry Hungry Hippos is that is one of the greatest games of all time because how many board games can you potentially lose a finger well in the great part about that one is you just it’s just you’re hitting oh don’t the only method of play isn’t hitting the game board over and over again as hard as you can you know and finally on my list twister which it’s not really a board it’s more of a mat but I’m going to keep it on the list because it’s very big board if you’re you know the older you get the more interesting the game gets I’ll just put it to you that way it’s a great get-to-know-you game you know if you’re if you’re if you’re on a date with somebody for the first time playing twister with them and a group of people was okay probably not it not advice so what’s your vote Rhett I’m gonna guess board game ever according to Rhett is risk okay I’m gonna say this because it is a game that requires skill commitment you have to be you have to be willing to embarrass someone else in the room like you have to be willing to sacrifice a real life friendship in order to attack somebody I have seen you have to sacrifice friendships it temporarily you have to temporarily put your friendship on hold and so there’s all these dynamics and it’s not just two people it’s not like battleship battleship is like c4 oh you sunk my battleship it’s like how cute yeah risk is like I’m going to attack Bob instead of Rob and now Bob and I are mad each other in real life I my father-in-law and my brother-in-law almost came to blows like at least 12 times while playing risk we played as a group there’s a few that’s why they call it risk because it you’re at risk of destroying your relationships in real life that could be maybe that’s maybe that’s why they call it that now rest telling me about risk as if I know nothing about it because you know me well enough to know that I hate just even the thought of a game like risk for all the reasons that you just said are the reasons why I don’t like it it requires skill I I hate games it requires skill yeah give me a game that’s just like Hungry Hungry Hippos if I can hit the little lever you know that’s all that I need uno I love uno even well that’s card game but you know what if it had a board I would love it I’ll be voting for it oh no board because you know it’s so simple I’m a simple money guy and I don’t who wants to destroy a relationship or even more importantly invest four hours of your life to play a board game well that would be a very long game typical game is maybe an hour a half that’s a long time to play a game I mean yeah but it’s it’s fun and when you win you feel like you have just conquered your friends yeah they don’t speak to you for a few weeks you love that yes it’s just a different personality tyranny I can barely get through a game of checkers and I’m not I’m not exaggerating I’m like when are they gonna get my seat ready at Cracker Barrel I mean I’d rather just if I go to somebody’s house and that they say we’re going to play risk my response is can I just wash your dishes I mean it’s it’s like torture to me my vote for best board game ever Connect for it’s great it’s a board game the checkers the vertical checkers have gone vertical you know you’re a great board game when you can go vertical you can’t is it still a board game though I don’t think it’s a board game it’s a vertical board game no it’s like a with holes and it’s like a rack game it’s like a rule it’s like a rack it’s not a board I don’t think it counts I don’t they can count well I do like how it’s it’s on the list but can’t you like hit a lever on in the off all out and it has a grin for now it’s like there’s when you win usually you know it takes five minutes went around and then if you’re as good as I have and then you pull that lever or that lever or whatever you call I like to say lever it’s a satisfying conclusion it’s it’s as if every time you played risk it only took five minutes and you could just sweep the board clean like ha ha but can you sacrifice a friendship in order to play it that’s really the test of a good board game no but you can get now real low and you can put put it right on your eyeballs and freak people out just got a Kinect for ya Punk maybe you should be there for Halloween next year a human Kinect for board it’s a good idea I can assure you you will be the only person in the neighborhood with that custom shall we get the wheel we should get the wheel tell us what your favorite board game ever is what’s the best board game ever we will collectively figure this out and we will tell you next week now we’re going to spend the mythical wheel of mythicality which we mythically wait for it to mythically stop on our mythical assignment that gets kind of old doesn’t it rusted in this thing I mean the show not our relationship we don’t have enough suggestions people spin again we replaced TBD with spin again because too many people didn’t understand what TBD got a lot of backlash you everything would spin again who knew it mean spin again ret old man long speech so you’re
