[English]

chardee macdennis the game of games now

what we did is we took our favorite

aspects of a bunch of different board

games and we mash them all together we

did the same thing with the name cuz we

couldn't agree upon one now the point of

the game is actually quite simple it's a

race to the finish from level 1 to level

3 this is the board yes and we start at

level 1 which is mind that consists of

trivia puzzles and art Street yes but

it's also the level at which the alcohol

being consumed is wine whoa you get to

drink during the game drinking is the

game Frank it's the whole point of it

I'm not gonna play any game in which I'm

not getting annihilated yes moving on to

level 2 which is body physical challenge

pain and endurance that's the beer level

yes and level 3 spirit emotional battery

and public humiliation ooh

hard alcohol level oh this is very

important Frank we've got a nail the

board down to the bar because of a

certain point during the game Matthew

can get very pissed off because you're

not doing very well he's gonna try to

flip the board over he's right it's for

the best I will forget later that it's

nailed down he will okay here's a big

one there's a 15 minute time limit to

the game well there's a fair amount of

clock stoppages yeah each team gets

three timeouts there's a half time post

level breaks a two-minute warning and a

significant amount of injury stoppage

has the first-aid kit now pay very close

attention to this next part each team

must collect a certain number of cards

at each level in order to progress to

the next level and the first team to

complete all three levels wins the game

and the winner ooh

the winner gets a sweet prize the winner

gets to smash the other team's game

pieces that's the price you get the

smash two teams game pieces

oh it's incredibly gratifying oh it's

awesome Frankie now these are our game

pieces nice right and these are Mac and

Charlie's pieces

not just a game it's a war
