Transcript
{Trogdor!! The Board Game is set up on a black table. Two players are sitting behind the table. The Strong Bad puppet slowly comes into view in front of the camera.}
STRONG BAD: Muuuoooaaah! Hi, everybody! Are you ready to play Trog... times? We just changed the name of the game. To Trog-Times. Here we got...
{The frame tries to pan up to show the two players, but it doesn't make it. Strong Bad comes closer to the screen and makes straining sounds as if he is lifting the camera.The camera pans up three times to show Ryan Sterritt on the left, and Lucky Yates on the right. Both are wearing baseball hats, glasses and beards.}
STRONG BAD: Ooh, it looks like the McKenzie brothers.
{Ryan and Lucky laugh. Strong Bad leaves the frame. Lucky sings the theme to Bob and Doug McKenzie's Great White North.}
STRONG BAD: {re-entering frame} Good day, eh?
RYAN: How's it going, eh?
LUCKY: Good.
STRONG BAD: {re-entering frame} Going pretty good, eh?
LUCKY: So, we're sitting here with our back bacon. And our cold ones.
STRONG BAD: We got Ry-Guy Sterritt, over here. {Ryan waves} Homestar alum. You may know him as... Actual Science Lab Scientist.
RYAN: Yeah.
{Ryan pantomimes holding up a flask.}
STRONG BAD: And TV's Lucky Yates! {Lucky gives two thumbs up} Doctor Lucius Yates, everyone!
LUCKY: Hi. Team.
STRONG BAD: And Mike's over there too, probably.
{Mike peeks in from the right side of the screen. He waves quickly and leaves the frame.}
LUCKY: We're excited to be playing Trog-Time.
{Pan down to the game board setup on the table.}
LUCKY: Newly-minted Trog-Time.
{Mike holds up the game box in front of the camera.}
LUCKY: Ooh, look at the...
STRONG BAD: Ooh, show 'em the spot-UV! {Mike is waving the box up and down to show that Trogdor is reflective and shiny} Look at that. {Lucky reaches in to show off the shiny box with a flourish} Whoosh, whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!
RYAN: Sheen.
STRONG BAD: That's like, Mike likes to animate those whooshes all the... anything reflective.
{Mike takes the box away.}
STRONG BAD: You do a mask layer, {Mike shows the box on its side} and then you just move a white rectangle through it.
{Mike takes the box away again.}
LUCKY: The box art is spectacular.
STRONG BAD: Animation tips for all of y'alls. All right, so first guys, we're gonna explain to Ryan, {the other players clap their hands in anticipation} who's never played the game, and that we haven't seen- we haven't seen in several months.
{Everyone cracks up.}
MIKE: That's not quite true.
STRONG BAD: We're going to catch up, find out how each other's spouses are doing. And then we'll show him how to play the game. Uh, thank you all for tunings in. Uh, what are we- I'll-I'll periodically be looking at this chat, I'll concentrate more on it once we- once we're actually playing the game.
MIKE: All right, so I'm gonna start by {Mike reaches in to pick up the Keeper deck} giving out uh... our Keeper and Item cards.
{Mike picks up the Items deck.}
STRONG BAD: All right.
RYAN: Oh. Okay.
LUCKY: This is exciting.
{Mike shows the deck and shuffles the cards in it.}
STRONG BAD: So, Ryan, we all get personas to play during the game.
LUCKY: It'll give you a special power, still, Strong Bad? That's what's happening?
{Mike is passing out cards to the players.}
STRONG BAD: That's right.
MIKE: Here, Strong Bad.
LUCKY: Oh, you just randomly hand them, oh...
MIKE: Gonna try this. Try this, right, yeah.
LUCKY: Oh, I like this. I like this. I like this.
STRONG BAD: Mike, if uh...
LUCKY: Are we allowed to look at them?
{Strong Bad puts down his boxing glove on his face-down card, trying in vain to flip it over.}
STRONG BAD: You could.
MIKE: Yeah.
STRONG BAD: Turn this over... for me.
{Mike reaches in to help Strong Bad as Strong Bad pulls his card off the table. The other players laugh.}
STRONG BAD: Hang on. See if I can... {Strong Bad places his card face up back on the table} There we go.
MIKE: Uh, Ryan, you may have to be Strong Bad's hands.
{Strong Bad tries to turn his card around, and Ryan reaches in to finish the job. Mike begins to pass out the items.}
MIKE: He can type with boxing gloves.
LUCKY: He said Mike, though.
RYAN: Oh, yeah.
LUCKY: You know.
STRONG BAD: Thanks for dealing that to me. Face-down, Mike.
{Mike reaches over to flip Strong Bad's item card. The other players crack up as Mike deals the rest of the item cards face up.}
STRONG BAD: There we go. All right, let's uh...
LUCKY: Oh.
STRONG BAD: So let's go around the table, and everybody first start with your Keeper, that's the character you're going to be. And then we'll uh, go and see what all items we have.
LUCKY: I'll start.
STRONG BAD: All right.
LUCKY: {displaying his card for the viewer} I'm playing Worchex.
{Strong Bad and Lucky go "whoo".}
STRONG BAD: What can- what can Worchex do?
LUCKY: {reading his card} Knights cannot repair cottages {shows the viewer again} during my turn.
MIKE: And you gotta remember that. {Lucky puts his card down} Everybody, remember your Keeper power and your Item power, 'cause sometimes we forget.
LUCKY: And then my item is the {displays card for the viewer} Disk of Healing.
STRONG BAD: Ooh, that's a powerful one.
LUCKY: Which, uh, {reading card} use: return a peasant from the Void to the Trog-Meter.
{Lucky shows the card again.}
STRONG BAD: That's very powerful indeed.
LUCKY: No recharges, though. {puts down card} So it's a one-time-only.
STRONG BAD: One time deal.
MIKE: Whatchyougot, Ry?
RYAN: All right. {shows his Keeper card} Let's see here.
STRONG BAD: Yubbitz?
RYAN: Yubbitz. {reading card} You may trade action cards with other players either on your turn or theirs.
{The other players say "ooh".}
RYAN: His favorite drink is powdered milk mixed with lemonade, but not powdered lemonade mixed with milk. That's gross.
MIKE: {laughing} That would be gross.
STRONG BAD: That's pretty nasty.
LUCKY: I didn't read my character's blurb, but...
STRONG BAD: Yeah, let it hear. What's Worchex's fun fact?
LUCKY: {reading card} worchex's... Worchex has hated knights since he was refused a high-five at a joust by his fave knight. And those wings are just a cool backpack. {displays his card again} Awww.
STRONG BAD: Yeah, we should sell that backpack.
LUCKY: Yeah. Really could make a mint. {putting a peasant back on the Trog-Meter} Who did I knock over, this guy?
RYAN: Yeah.
STRONG BAD: Wait. Somebody's saying they're getting no audio. Are peoples getting audio?
MIKE: Uh-oh. No audio?
STRONG BAD: Audio?
LUCKY: Audio.
STRONG BAD: Someone in the chat, tell us. I'm getting audio!
LUCKY: Is there audio?
STRONG BAD: I'm getting audio just fine.
LUCKY: I'm getting audio.
STRONG BAD: I'm also Spartacus.
LUCKY: All right.
MIKE: Who's your character, what's your character and item, Strong Bad?
RYAN: My item... Two Gross Beans. {displays card for the viewer}
STRONG BAD: Whoo. Those are indeed gross beans. That- they don't look like beans to me, Ryan.
RYAN: {reading card} Gain plus two action points is my use.
MIKE: Okay. And how do you recharge?
RYAN: {reading} Recharge when Trogdor visits a forest tile.
LUCKY: Oh, something like that?
MIKE: {indicating the forest tiles} There's four forest tiles.
LUCKY: So you will charge on them.
RYAN: Secrets.
MIKE: We have a set up, these are kinda... {Three of the four forest tiles are diagonally adjacent}
LUCKY: Are there more tiles than once there were?
MIKE: Nope. It's always- I think it's always been-
STRONG BAD: They're all different, there's different art, though. Yeah, there used to be...
LUCKY: It makes it look wider.
RYAN: Yeah.
STRONG BAD: The countryside has really come to life.
LUCKY: {laughing} Yeah, really.
STRONG BAD: Peasantry is just jumping off the table at you.
LUCKY: Really tranquil until we get bombarded by a monster's wrath.
STRONG BAD: You go, Mike. What've you got?
MIKE: {displaying his card} I've got uh, Crangolev.
STRONG BAD: Crangolev.
MIKE: Crangolev, I get uh, one action point. Uh, on my turn. I just get an extra one.
LUCKY: Great.
STRONG BAD: Okay.
MIKE: {displaying card} And Distracto's Pouch.
STRONG BAD: whooh.
MIKE: Which uh, after you draw a movement card, you may choose the direction that the peasants move.
LUCKY: Mmm.
MIKE: Which is helpful. You can, um, make them not replant a burninated countryside tile or you could send them to a burninated cottage and light themselves on fire.
LUCKY: Oh. Great.
MIKE: {displaying card} It's recharged when Trogdor hides.
STRONG BAD: Okay.
MIKE: What'd you got, Strong Bad?
STRONG BAD: {pushing his Keeper card} I got Hegeltha. With all these cool lampies in on- on her like...
{Mike picks up the card to display it.}
STRONG BAD: ...antlers, there. On my turn, Trogdor may... {Mike puts the card down} use the "hide" action on any tile without a cottage. Normally you can only hide in the mountains.
MIKE: {points out where the mountain tiles are} There's two mountain tiles.
STRONG BAD: But I can hide on any tile without a cottage.
LUCKY: Ah, how does that even work? How does he hide in the middle of a field of flowers?
STRONG BAD: Show 'em how they hide, Mike.
{Mike picks up the Trogdor meeple in the center tile and sets him down flat.}
LUCKY: Oh, wow, wow! How did you- where did he go? I don't even know. {Mike sets Trogdor back up again} I see nothing but countryside. Oh wah!
STRONG BAD: That's right. Uh, and then let's see, uh, Hegeltha's factoid is that Hegeltha joined the Keepers of Trogdor just to get out of the house a couple nights a week. I heard those antler lanterns are full of peasant teeth. Eeyew!
{Mike displays the card.}
MIKE: Peasant teeth.
LUCKY: Do they glow?
STRONG BAD: They probably make a satisfying clicking noise.
LUCKY: Right.
MIKE: {holding the Item card} And then your item.
STRONG BAD: That Dog Tennis Ball Thing 'Cept With Fireballs! Uh, the use is that I can burninate any tile or eligible cottage um like, and you have to go p'toooo! DOOJ! And the recharge is that when Trogdor uh, visits the corner store. I mean, tile. Any corner tile.
MIKE: {indicating corner tiles} Four corner tiles. {sets down card}
STRONG BAD: Why wouldn't we- why didn't we leave that typo on there?
{The other players laugh.}
STRONG BAD: Seems like that's what an editor is for. All right, who's bored?
MIKE: Okay, so... {picks up the action deck}
LUCKY: Tennis board! Who's done?
MIKE: So, we're gonna deal out, uh... {shuffles cards} we each start with one action card,
LUCKY: Mm-hm.
RYAN: Yeah.
LUCKY: Mm-hm, mm-hm.
MIKE: {deals a card to Strong Bad} So there's Strong Bad's. We've left.
LUCKY: Okay.
MIKE: {hands a card to Ryan} Sss... Ryan. Almost called you... uh, my daughter's name. {passes a card to Lucky}
LUCKY: Oh, man, that's exciting.
MIKE: Lucky.
LUCKY: That's me.
MIKE: And me. Okay.
