Before we can find you?

Lyrics:
Bob can be a real big jerk
Orders us around
And tells us to win, it’s tough, so tough
Laura gives us tips when she can
Rushing to begin
And it’s never quite enough, enough

And so we’ve got to go now, with nothing brought
We check the panorama and we go to a spot
We tell each other with our own thoughts right now
We’ll give it a shot

Woah, these rolls unfair
Woah, loop us back to there
One more try, and this time beware
Woah, loop us back to there

Lyrics:
Ilka: We don’t play any Euros, oh, oh, oh
We don’t play any Euros, but

Hosted a gaming day
(Dave: Went to her gaming day)
We were getting ready
And there weren’t any boring games played
(I swore no boring games played)

Then someone came with a brown and gray game
(Ugly!)
I wish this memory would fade
(But now that we know it was fun)

Then she said, “let’s play this game”
(So unattractive)
Surprisingly it wasn’t tame
(Amazingly interactive)
Liking it has been my shame
(It was so much fun but just the one)

Both: We don’t play any Euros, oh, oh, oh
We don’t play any Euros

Paula: Hey, never wanna play a Euro it’ll leave you snoring
I will always say they bring you little glee - they’re boring
Using cubes for resources is ugly, drab, and bland, ch-ch-ch
I can tell you nope, there’s no hope of exploring
Only time you talk is when you’re counting up scoring
How you can enjoy them I just cannot understand
Do you understand?

Jason: All boxes the same, a man is staring out
If you go and game there’s no fun about
Yeah, with garbage themes, they’ll scar all your dreams

All: We don’t play any Euros, oh, oh, oh
We don’t play any Euros

Ilya: Thought I'd be left unopposed, but that guy, hey!
Crystal: Thought I’d be so bored of it, but it made me stay
Russ: Thought every turn would drag forever but there was no delay
All: You’re gonna like ‘em the moment that you play

Kasey: Thought I’d be trading across the sea
Getting victory points one by one
Thought I’d be happy pushing those cubes
And then calculating who’s won

Jess: Oh yeah, are you ready now to play?

Paula: Thought I’d be trading across the sea
And bored out of my mind
But then I discovered
I guess it’s pretty good

Kasey: Hey you, I think you’ll enjoy this one too

Paula: I guess it is very good, it is very good

Ambie: Um, Euros
Yeah, about those Euros
I kinda want to play a long Euro
Heard it’s a fun, it’s a real fun Euro

Jason: Let’s get ready, it’s gaming time

Jess & Kasey: Time for setup

[ALL OVERLAP]
Jason: All boxes the same, a man is staring out
If you go and game there’s no fun about
Yeah, with garbage themes
They’ll scar all your dreams

But then I discovered, discovered
That it’s fun, and it’s fun, and it’s fun, it’s fun
[END OVERLAP]

All: Let’s start!
Don’t play any Euros, oh
Ambie: Why did I play this new Euro?
All: Or you’ll like all those Euros
Ambie: I think I’m gonna like these Euros!

To connect at least those two
See those pictures ‘round the table there
And you’ll know what to do
As a child, and a teen
You remember these on screen
It has all the childhood classics
Plus some new ones, with those graphics
Pick your word, pick it quick
Only one, but make it slick
Then we’ll guess, and hope that they all end up blue
Cause if we pick a neutral
It will be unfruitful
Give a clue, yes a clue, give a clue

Hard but with a great skill

So we’re starting now together
Every player here gets a frame
You can see it when it’s over
It won’t come out the same
Make some pictures and some letters
Won’t know from where they came
Cause we got a lot of players
And we love this game

Cause it changes each person
Can’t tell what they just drew
It’ll just get worse and
Hilarious for you
Make some pictures and some letters
Won’t know from where they came
But I’ve got a blank page baby,
So let’s start this game

Lyrics:
You’ve got an enemy
It’s not just the zombies
Yes it’s cold with the snow outside
And there’s no one to trust
So you can’t confide
You just remember to protect your hide
Cause you’ve got an enemy
Yeah, you’ve got an enemy

Clash! Jump! Back! Opened! Upgraded! Patients!

[Eric]
And now, these six gaming gals of Board Game Media
In their rendition of ‘The Board Game Tango’

They had it coming, they had it coming
It’s gonna happen in this game
If you’d have been there, if you’d have played it
I betcha you would have done the same!

[Paula]
You know how games can have these multiple victory conditions that get you down? Like... Inis. Inis is all about area control, sometimes requiring combat--no, not combat. CLASH!
So I've got a pretender token and I'm looking for a little sympathy to help me seal a Leadership win and there's my friend. Wanting to get a Religion win by moving into areas with sanctuaries, threatening me with combat--no, not combat. CLASH!
So I said to him, I said "Hey, you clash with me one more time.." And he did. So I pivoted to a Land control win and I moved two armies
Into his territory!

He had it coming, he had it coming
It’s gonna happen in this game
If you’d have been there, if you’d have played it
I betcha you would have done the same!

[Crystal]
I signed on to the Galactica about two years ago and I thought I was human so I started helping right away. I even became the admiral.
I’d contribute to skill checks, make some jumps. Sure, we were low on population, low on morale, but we only had a few jumps left.
And then I found out, a Cylon here? A Cylon attack! Not only was there a Cylon now, oh no! That Cylon was me! One of those sleepers, you know?
So one round, when they least expected it, I started my turn as usual
You know, some ships just can’t handle a Super Crisis!

They had it coming, they had it coming
They didn’t notice all the signs
They kept believin’; I kept deceivin’
And so the victory was all mine!

[Suz]
Now I’m placing my workers, I’m deciding which buildings I want to use, and then here comes another player putting all of his workers way out in front on all of the new buildings.
“I’m gonna use this building!” he said. I don’t think so. And he kept on saying, “I’m gonna use this building!”
That’s when I moved the provost back.
I moved the provost back 3 times.

If you’d have been there, if you’d have played it
I betcha you would have done the same

[Monique]
I was playing it safe in Sheriff of Nottingham, making a profit little by little. But I thought maybe I should try for more. I had great contraband! If I could get this merchandise through I’d score big. So I loaded up my bag, put on my best poker face, and said, “I have 5 chickens”

But, did it go through?

No, he opened it!

[Ambie]
My husband, Toby, and I like these train games. And our friend likes to play them with us. Now, over the years we’ve played a bunch of them - ‘30, ‘49, ‘80, ‘28, ‘89, one right after the other! Well, this one time we were playing, the three of us, pushing the pace and rushing those trains. And one of my corps wasn’t looking too good, so I withheld dividends.
I checked my train, just had a 4...
There it was, I was able to upgrade it to…. the first diesel!
Well after that it was all a haze but I guess our friend had to buy a diesel out of pocket. It wasn’t until later, when I was tallying up my final score, I even knew he was bankrupt!

He had it coming, he had it coming
He had it coming long ago
I (she) didn’t mean it, but if I’d meant it
Well then you’d say that I was a pro

[Mandi]
I love Alban Viard. His designs always hurt my brain. So I was playing Clinic with my friend. But it was tough, we were always going for the same things. We’d choose actions every round and fight over everything: doctors, nurses, specialists, and modules. I guess in the end you can say it came down to turn order. He saw the patients as his
And I saw them as mine!

And then I won, won, won, won, won!
And then I won, won, won, won, won!

They had it coming, they had it coming
They had it coming long ago
Oh how we played ‘em, how we betrayed ‘em
Well you could say that we all are pros

They had it coming, they had it coming
It’s gonna happen in this game
If you’d have been there, if you’d have played it
I betcha you would have done the same!

You clash with me one more time
Cylon attack
Three times
If I could get this merchandise through!
Upgraded to the first diesel!
Turn order

Clash! Jump! Back! Opened! Upgraded! Patients!

Filler (Board Game Parody of Thriller)

ambierona 2021-06-01 | This is a parody of Thriller (by Michael Jackson) about board games.

Backing Track: youtu.be/IhkV2P-yGOg

Guest voice recording: Eric Summerer

Lyrics:
We’re starting game night
And some more people walking through the door
It’s nearing twilight
But we’re still waiting on our player four
We wanna play
But they could come and show up any moment
So let’s delay
And have some fun while we wait for our guest
Let me suggest

Take out a filler
Filler time
Cause no one wants to wait so
Let’s go grab something we like
You know it’s filler
Filler time
You’re needing something light
Get that familiar filler tonight

You hear the door slam
But it was just the pizza coming in
So deal a new hand
And wonder when the party will begin
Cause they’ll be late
They always put us in this situation
We have to wait
And we all know the player who’s to blame
Another game

Take out a filler
Filler time
This ain’t no meaty game
But it’s a pretty fun design, yeah
Filler
Filler time
You’re needing something light
Get that familiar filler tonight

It’s time to stall
But still make sure we all get to join and play
There’s no way knowing how long we are going this time
(Don’t know what’s right)
That’s why we need something light

They will amuse you
And keep you hanging out until the end
So we don’t lose you
As you get tired of waiting for our friend
Now please don’t go
Let’s pick another game to play together
And we can show
We don’t need one long game to have some fun
Let’s get that one

Take out a filler
Filler time
Cause we can play it quick
Or we can keep on playing all night
Filler
Filler time
You want it to delight
Pick that familiar filler
Killer filler here tonight

Take out a filler
Filler time
Yeah we can play it quick
Or we can keep on playing all night
Filler
Filler time
You want it to delight
Pick that familiar filler

Let’s play a filler tonight

Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Still no sign of our good friend
We gotta wait until the end
Our careful plans will all fall through
Tonight we’re not sure what to do
There’s no time now to play this game
But we don’t want to leave in shame

Let’s play a filler tonight

We search around the loaded shelves
And think of something for ourselves
What game could occupy our night
Perhaps a simple roll and write
Or maybe play a press your luck
Or auction with a bidder
For now our whole group can enjoy
The pleasure of the filler

Lyrics:
I’m thinking of the right concept
To make our team get a success
You will think awhile
Then move the dial
To point right to where you guess
I’m thinking of the right concept
Something halfway from dark to light
May our wavelengths sync up tonight
And may all your estimates be right

It’s beginning to look a lot like last time
Everything we do

And when we die we must all try anew
It’s beginning to look a lot like last time
So it’s time to act
We can stop all the intrigue here, so it soon will all be clear
And we’ll learn the facts

Lyrics:
City building, busy building
Everything in this place
All around there’s the spread of pollution
Get some wood and other goods and
Check if we have the space
For this building we want to be here
Killer smells, killer smells
Pollution spreads from the city
Fling and fling
Everything
Now the pollution will stay
