OH GOD IT’S HAPPENING AGAIN
Bobbins Lurk Within
It's another ten undelivered items and they didn't disappoint! Well, several of them disappointed, but one was plenty weird enough to keep the interest. Huzzah!
Adventagain
Off we go to the land of 24 boxes! Huzzah! (NB: The Huzzah only applies to the general concept of advent videos, not to the specific contents of any day.)This year's advent takes a turn pretty quickly, but the final day is... well... you'll see.As ever, I'll only link the first day here ...
Jack Hare Reappears
I would have bought it, but I couldn't find £124,968 down the back of the sofa. (I think that's right. Sotheby's have a 27% buyer's premium, and there's VAT on the final bid and the premium.)
You’re the Doctor!
It’s so much fun to play!
A Halloween Without Gonks
Hooray!This one was close to the wire. We’re currently shooting our new film and I had to leave to be on set, giving me just enough time to sort out the Halloween Special. Except! I used 20 seconds of a bit of music I paid to license, and some bloody copyright troll claimed it was something they o...
Unreal Lego, Unreal Nintendo
What can AliExpress do that regular shops can't? Sell you bootleg brick model Game Boys! Do they fall apart? Mostly!(To be fair, I was genuinely quite impressed with the Jaki models.)
Life Finds a Way
For this INCREDIBLY MASSIVE BOARD game, we were kindly joined by Ryan who - as many of you will know - is the 7th biggest Jurassic Park fan in the Western hemisphere.I think the best LXB moment yet is in this video But I won't say what because spoilers, obv.
30 Seconds Left, Team
The Crystal Maze, eh? The Aztec Zone! The Industrial Zone! The Future Zone! The Sewage Zone! The Accountancy Zone! All your favourites!(We later learned that the dice thing is supposed to be rolled with something in it. But apparently it still barely works even if you use it correctly. Great.)Mumsy!...
This thing belongs in a museum
What a cool board game! Pity it was broken and we didn't realise! Which is a recurring feature of LXB...(This video is a month old and isn't even a casualty of posting problems - I just forgot about it like an idiot.)
Burger Time
You've doubtless seen this one already, but it turns out the method I was using to post Patreon updates HASN'T BEEN BLOODY WORKING so you'll be getting a load of these video links coming through in quick succession.I really should check these bloody things.Anyway, if you haven't seen...
Something blue... Is it my cardigan?
...Let's see if it's up there!We take a look at Family Fortunes, AKA Family Feud, AKA La Guerre des clans, AKA 100 Colombianos Dicen! It's.. well, it's a board game.
Sleep the Adventure
Possibly the worst board game I've ever played. Although it could be tied with another one that we'll be playing at some point...
Make Peace, not Dempsey
It's some of the most obscure figures I own! And that's saying something, as I have a lot of crap.
Delivery Denied
I bloody love doing these. And it's cleared out another shelf in the garage!
Dick Tracy Calling Hemlock Holmes
You know how I said the Cluedo SFX game was really good and interesting? This one bloody isn't! (Although it's better than the game we played after this one, which may be the joint worst board game I've ever played. Look out for that in 2 weeks...)
Clue do as Clue does
I totally forgot to link this board game vid, which is UNACCEPTABLE as it's a really interesting one. Cluedo, but with loads of actual speech? Sign me up, Colonel Mustard! (In the Kitchen with the revolver.)
When You Wish Upon Some Tat
You'll end up with a load of crap.
Our very own Atlantis
Paul (AKA Mr. Biffo) from Digitiser has delved deep into the sunken bit of Europe known as Doggerland, partially in the hopes of finding why he feels adrift in the modern world. And I attempted to help out with some dream analysis, which I hadn't even thought about for over 20 years! (Fortunatel...
Don't you open that Trap Door...
You're a fool if you dare!In the second League of Extraordinary Board Games, we ignore Boni's warnings and run round Berk and Drutt to dive down the Trap Door. Or something to that effect.
Non-current Currants
Turns out 80 years is a long time, even for tinned food.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Tragedy has struck, and it cost £1
Double Jar
I had a dental check-up this morning that was somehow 15 minutes later than I thought. So I popped to a charity shop around the corner and OH BLIMEY GUV
Presenting: The League of Extraordinary Board Games!
AN ALL NEW JOINT CHANNEL EMERGES FROM THE CHARITY SHOPSAs you may or may not know, Mr. Paul Gannon (Barshens, Cheapshow etc) has a massive collection of board games. Like 200+. But they aren't games you'd generally play with people for fun - they're weird-ass tie-ins to UK seventies TV s...
