@@Spice8Rackonestly, every expansion plays a little differently and have their own quirks. The carnival box that you have is notable for how often large amount of bystanders can be randomly wiped from the board (as you’ve noticed). Other boxes might give you a different enough experience to change your mind about the game. The Bird mini-expansion, for example, starts with low terror but benefits from early movement, which can change the first turn strategy you mentioned. But at the end of the day, I will have to agree that the general “shape” of a play remains very similar to one another regardless of the scenario, and your core issues like component fiddlyness, solo book keeping and pure random BS are core to the experience. If you are so inclined and have the opportunity, giving another box (except the haunted house…) a play might change your impression. It did for me when I thought that I “solved” the game by getting used to my first scenario.

I agree completely. Being a blind person who relied on a friend over Discord to read dialogue, describe the map and interactable objects, and carry out the plays I told him during matches, created the immersive experience Spice was seeking out during this video until he found The Night Cage. Even more so, because the first act feels relatively minimalistic visually: all you have to go off of, until you are told to get up from the table--and hell, even after you know that you can--are what you see and what you're told. The first few minutes, where all you have are your starter deck, and the narration delivered by someone you can't even see, are so effective. Watching sighted LPers experience Inscryption for the first time made me realize how the opening makes you feel blind.

In terms of Horror games that play on Betrayal, Nemesis springs to mind as an interesting example. Nemesis is a Alienish board game where each player has a secret win condition dealt to them at the start of the match, which can range from escape with a specific item to murder a specific player to blow up the ship. This element of inconsistent social deduction leads to games where you can very much be effectively betrayed, or have the shifty guy you don't trust turn out to be benevolent before getting violently torn apart by aliens.

I think the discussion of the definition of horror helped me articulate something that I couldn't really articulate in the Lorwyn video. Namely, that I think I like Innistrad because I don't think of it as horror. It is a setting that contains various spooky creatures, but I see them as less like the monsters in horror fiction that they are obviously supposed to emulate, and more like a Creature Commandos comic. They stop being monsters and start being goofy superheroes and villains with an aesthetic I enjoy. This is helped along by how, at least recently, a lot of references to Innistrad focus on how normal all the plane's residents are to each other. The Phyrexian invasion in recent lore, for example, doesn't cause the same kind of disruption it does in other planes because the sky yawning open to spew forth oil and abominations doesn't strike the typical Innistradi resident as anything more than a somewhat unusual bit of weather. It's turned into a joke, and it's a joke I enjoy. (That being said, this does also make Innistrad a poor choice for attempting to tell a genuine cosmic horror story, so the whole Emrakul saga does fall down a bit there. The aftermath where the moon is now haunted, however, does absolutely improve the vibes of the plane)

Spice, your content enraptured me with Magic the Gathering as it was always very acessible despite never knowing what the game was about. That was, in part, due to the broader topics you chose with some videos, but it was mostly due to your charisma, well written scripts and amazing humor. After seeing your games in the Professor's channel back when they first released because of you, I got into actually playing Magic, and have thus introduced it to my s/o and friend group, and we all love it. After watching this video and your last one (as a psych major I was thrilled! Loved the books you used there.), I have realized how I have fallen in love with your content once more, for a total of three times now. From your content helping me when I was in one of the lowest points of my life and forever changing it, to making me laugh loudly at your silly humor and funny references, I just want to thank you, you lovely, spicy person. I hope whatever you decide to do in the future brings you only the warmest of joys there are to be found.

This was amazing, I hope the algorithm doesn't bury this since it's really neat! Though I imagine it will sadly since youtube hates when creators try new things...

Loved it! I think expanding into board games is a natural progression for this channel.

So excited to finally see this! When you released the script to patrons my partner went out and bought Aliens and Night Cage immediately and we've been absolutely loving Night Cage ever since. Would love to hear more board game breakdowns.

I deeply enjoy your Dutch-angled take on philosophical concepts. So often I'm not sure whether to raise eyebrow at the fractally intricate nuances, or to take some of the more absurdist lines as surface jokes. Either way, I appreciate you, Spice.

I almost can't believe Nemesis didn't get in. Admittedly, it's incredibly expensive, but also, it's easily The horror board game experience, provided noone in the group hates Alien. And it works because it's a huge and a very dangerous environment that you most likely won't be able to deal with alone... But the secret goals necessary for victory will also immediately put you at odds with other players. Funnily enough, one rule that actually elevates it is the rule that you can't attack other players directly, meaning that even actively hostile moves can often seem impersonal, while moves that are actually impersonal perceived with intense paranoia. And that is coupled with the main action mechanism that's really smart, and *incredibly* anxiety inducing even if the game around it wasn't actively trying to kill you. Nemesis is genuinely a board game masterpiece, a horror masterpiece, AND a board game horror masterpiece.

So, I got to meet the lead designer for this game at my local LGS. I was the lead for our board game department and this was the game he brought to demo so we would carry more of them. It was starkly different from all the other games he had and was a smash hit at the store. I absolutely love it and glad to see it getting some well deserved lime light!

the dirge is such an unbelievably powerful game piece - as soon as you showed it and mentioned its name, i was on the edge of my seat to hear how it worked for basically the remainder of the video. i kept glancing at it, staring up from the table off to the side. it seems like the mechanical experience of it might be a bit deflating, but god, the effectiveness of the piece's visuals might just make up for it.

I do have to agree on the points about Betrayal. It reaches its narrative peak during hidden traitor haunts, with bonus points if the haunt is triggered before the house is thoroughly explored.

Id like to see a video highlighting your favorite board games as well as the ones you find to have the most replay value. I love anything where you can hang out with friends and let your imagination and creativity drive the experience. Boardgames, TCGs, miniature strategy, and various RPs.

This video is utterly fantastic. The only one of there board games that I've played was Betrayal, but The Night Cage and Escape the Dark Castle have both substantially peaked my interest. I hope that you can justify talking about the latter, once you've escaped being the nightmarish wheel that is illness.
