Bother’s Bar Plays Badly: Among Us

By | September 28, 2020

It’s the hit zeitgeisty game that’s exploded into popularity recently (although it’s actually been out for two years), a crew of people try and fix a spaceship, but one (or two) (or three) people are imposters and must try and kill the crew members without being detected, whether face to face or by politicking their way out of lynch mob ejection votes. Wie is… De Mol?

This was great fun and we’ll probably do more sessions in future – I was thrilled that we had almost a full house. In this video you’ll get everything from my perspective, and my commentary – during the game you’re on mute except for voting discussions so whilst you’re going about your business or are dead you can’t communicate with the others, so they won’t have heard anything I was saying.

The video comes from the perspective of someone who has seen a few vids but hadn’t actually played before. It’s clear that 1 vs 8 is a really difficult situation for the imposter, but 2 vs 7 is much less clear cut. We play five or six games as each one is quite quick, enjoy.

    I watched the start of this before, and the end of this after, listening to one Alex M on the latest episode of Fingers on Buzzers. (Hard to describe this as an Alex M sandwich, for Alex M is both bread and filling.) Alex was very good; the show has more-quiz-than-showbiz guests and more-showbiz-than-quiz guests, and Alex was remarkably feisty (in a good way) and unrestrained for a more-quiz-than-showbiz guest. Still think most of the guests should come from here. (Myself exxcepted, I’m dull, obvs.)

    Also, Tom Price’s wife invented Wogan’s Perfect Recall? More like Tom Price’s wife once played Celebrities/Monikers/The Hat Game and worked it out that it worked as a quiz, but it’s non-trivial.

      I assure you nobody is more haunted by the concept of an ‘Alex M sandwich’ than me. Thank you for the lovely comments 🙂
