Speaker 2 (00:02):
Camera Wrapped researchers have delved through thousands of reviews and revealed.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
The most over hyped board games of all times.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
That's how we overhype them.

Speaker 4 (00:19):
That's what you go into broad night game board game
night with.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
And you're disappointed. Alright, you want the top five?

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Yes, any guesses before we go in?

Speaker 1 (00:29):
No, yeah, but not the camera version.

Speaker 5 (00:36):
I think I think monopolies worthy of a tie rating.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Yeah, Trivia Pursuits Worthy.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
Against Humanity is pretty good.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Is that a board game or a card game?

Speaker 3 (00:47):
It would come under the banner pictionaries? Great, so we
know all the good ones, Lewis, what are the ones
that are struggling?

Speaker 6 (00:52):
What's funny you just mentioned that coming in at number five,
Cards against Humanity overrated?

Speaker 4 (00:57):
Maybe because it was just over saturated everyone.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
It did really have a moment. Number four.

Speaker 7 (01:06):
Yeah, I agree with that.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Not a fan of number three. I don't know this one.
It's called Munchkin. I don't know what either.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
You know what's good? Hungry Hungry Hippos.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
That is a great one. No one hasn't ate it
on the list, so you're right, of course it wouldn't
have number two. Risk.

Speaker 7 (01:23):
I think i've.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Played that before.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
What is that?

Speaker 1 (01:26):
I can't remember.

Speaker 5 (01:28):
It was great, we could research it, but it feels
like it's a pointless number.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
One. The most over hyped board game of all time
goes to.

Speaker 7 (01:39):
Everyone loves to hate it.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
Because my sister turns into an evil overlord whenever we
play Monopoly every time.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
I was going to say it is her fault.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
I mean, he turns her into an evil person and
who she is not normally, and she gets this cackle
about her and she just rubs the money in my face.

Speaker 5 (02:06):
It's not that she's angry, right, she becomes a tyrannical landowner.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
She's like Donald Trump by the end of it, when
he's got all these properties.

Speaker 6 (02:16):
Building Trump Tower in the middle. You will work out
fine for her, not you. But she could go to jail.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
But President, it would still work out.
