  1. I haven't played any of these, but here are my initial thoughts during the rules overviews.
    Holly Oak: The gimmick sounds absolutely nfuriating, but, silver lining, short enough to avoid rage quitting?
    Treasure Trove Adventure: Slime? Gold? Mysteriously disappointing keys? There's something for every young boy.
    Fashion Police: Too limited to be fun.
    Pobody's Nerfect: I saw a live play of this and it seems designed to generate exasperated groans.
    Captain Obvious: Not obvious to me because, like a lot of party games, I think I'd have to play to know if it's any fun. Some folks will probably take too long to write down their 5-word sentences but we could fix that.
    I guess these notes are for my future self after I play any of these games.

  2. Pobody's Nerfect just makes me want to play Nord and Bert Couldn't Make Head or Tail Of It. No Infocom fans out there? Okay.

  3. Fashion Police drops from 5 out of ten to four out of ten in one minute. Good thing for it that its review didn't last any longer.

  4. Tom, I'd love to see you throw Pobody's Nerfect off of the roof.

  5. Another classic set of reviews from Mr Vom Tasel. I expect Captain Obvious would make a decent parlour game – just use a random word generator on your phone and use sentences between, say, 5 and 7 words.

  6. Thanks for another great video of your insights into games. As far as your fashion sense, no complaints from me. Remember, "To thine own self be true".
