I don't understand why if Holly thought she honestly was the Marionette that she didn't save Adam with that last vote.

Steven Scott

SPOILER. Holly's reaction after Adam's death is brilliant

Why on earth would Blair not target Jon there..... there are no reason whatsoever not to try just in case he was lying about his role... X/

havent finished this episode but PATTERS AS CO-STORYTELLER?!?!?! LETS FREAKIN GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (can you tell I love Patters? and I also adoreee Aggie so props to both of you for impeccable taste)

As long as she doesn't do that on day 1. From her perspective, if she is indeed the Marionette, people will be wondering why she insisted on tossing away the Slayer ability so quickly. It would be hard to explain that without essentially outing what Adam told her. I guess she could bluff that he was being cagey, which could play into his Mayor bluff. The town square may still wonder why she used her Slayer ability on a social read.

I'm quite sad about it to be honest. Ken is amazing when he's just being chaotic. Now he's a pro and is bullying Sully into telling him whose vote he messed up because that would be too chaotic is just boring pro play. I don't wanna see a bunch of pros play this, I want funny craziness.

Imagine if Holly was the Slayer. Adam telling her she was the Marionette would have wrecked everything! Because whether she believes him or not, she should shoot him. If he's lying about her being the Marionette and yet he's the demon, her shooting him wins her the game, if he's telling her the truth, her shooting him makes her demon look less like the demon.

Jordan Robertshaw-Jowett

Yeah you can tell Ken storytells. Any regular ST would not put a Marionette and a sober Investigator together in a game of this size.

Fun game.

Caledronius

Feel so bad for Blair here - but good to see Patters here again

Allan S. Hansen

It's Patters! <3

Ken runs semi-regular games of BotC in his own Discord server, so I'm not surprised by this glow up

Fun one. Bold play by Adam ended up a bit unlucky due to that Chef 1. Ken has (imo) quickly become one of the very best players in the group. Holly is consistently underrated as a player and even though she was briefly duped, she immediately swung the game back once she learned the Empath info and then pushed hard to get Adam killed. Another game where Adam chooses good kills, on relatively little info, when he's Demon. Surprised Jon's Soldier bluff worked that late.

Tough setup for the evil team. Ken was spot-on in his read that Investigator seeing Marionette is perfect drunk-bait, and would be too powerful of information if true.

Will Seamon

Ken has improved so much since his first appearance

Dru Daughtry

Is it me, or has Ken surpassed everyone else in his mechanical knowledge of the game? He's very quickly gone from a relative novice to the guy who knows the rules so well he can clarify/explain misunderstandings for everyone else, without spending much time between those two extremes.

Mike Hughey

Functioning Chef and a Marrionette possibility together is a tough setup. Adam’s certainly pulled Holly’s strings masterfully (even though she had none)… Hard to pull off without at least one or both of your demon bluffs being Chef and Investigator.

Robert James

Good idea. I also thought Holly knew Adam was lying as soon as Dan made the Empath info public. Unless the marionette doesn't register as evil? Thanks for another fun game!

OMG

Scott Meister

Tragic being sat next to your Scarlet Woman in a game with a chef.

Alexander Hoak

Holly's reaction was everything this episode!

dunno, but after first night info i thought evil would win there was just too much going against them this time it felt.

David McGill

Foot is still broken along with my heart after that dreadful Blood Bowl 3 release so many thanks for this comfort.

Joriss

2 things 1)Grilled outcakes with English breakfast things like bacon and beans is amazing and 2)Stoke is shitheap with the odd pockets of lovely country

Matt James

I only want to write this because it made me feel smart to think of it: Holly should have asked for the bluffs. I know the Marienette doesn't need them, but if she thought she wasn't the minion, she should have asked for the bluffs so that Adam couldn't give those bluffs to the real minion.

Jordan Robertshaw-Jowett

Nice surprise for today!!

Stew Sizer

Perfect just what I needed after a shit day, I can't wait to get home, grab some popcorn 🍿 and relax. Thanks gang! You're the best! Can't get enough!

Oh my! Having had the pleasure of unknowingly being a marionette recently, this is a very interesting looking script.

It's been so long since seeing a TB game it will feel new!
