So what's up guys Foxen here. Today you got a very special video. I'm showing you one
of japan's most infamous board games Othello. This one has some delicious Demon Slayer flavoring.
Honestly before today I've never played this game.
At a first glance you may think it's like chess but no it's definitely not as complex
and I think more fun. You'll see me facing my buddy in a bit.
For the board game you have the board the various pieces which are about 50 or so half
colored team green for the demon slayers and half for the demon team.
If you love Demon Slayer the special board comes with your favorite characters like Tanjiro
Nezuko and the Hashiras baked right in. All right to start off on the board you have
four pieces. Two of each color on different sides.
Each side gets a color. For example I'm gonna be black and you're
gonna be green. The goal of the game is to turn all the pieces
into your color. For this let me just go first. I'll be Nezuko.
Putting Nezuko down you see I have the green in between so that flips over to my color.
So now the green player has to try to do the same. Try to dominate some pieces.
You have Tanjiro on the board now anything in between gets flipped over to the green
so now you have three green and three black and then you keep on going like that rotating
one after another. You could also take more than one piece.
For example right here you have two in between Inosuke and Tanjiro so these two become my
pieces. Keep in mind when you place a piece down potentially
you could create two lines so you could take multiple pieces at the same time as long as
they line up.
For some moves that you can't do you have to make sure you could flip over a piece.
For example I wouldn't be able to place Zenitsu here because I can't turn any of these so
I would put Zenitsu instead over here and then snatch Tanjiro to the dark side.
The only exception to a situation where you can't make a move would be really towards
the end of the game where you can't flip a piece over.
When that happens unfortunately you just have to forfeit your turn and it goes over to your
opponent. The game then continues until either the board
is completely full.
Once the board is full both of you count to see which of you guys have the most of a given
color.
Say that the board is full and I have 40. You have less than me I win.
All right let's go I'll go first Inosuke go. Oh already messing things up. I'll go this
way taking one at a time no not going to think too much about straight line four so now five.
And make that line bigger keep on going.
all right let's try expanding oh no no ah don't do it see I was just being nice to you
I did that on purpose okay thank you oh hmm that looks bad all right taking this I am
a newbie I have that excuse.
All right taking it.
I'll use Tanjiro and take one.
Only one for now yeah yeah that's all he can do it's done it's still level one all right
mop on go go go two plus two plus two just make it hurt a little no I'm gonna take three
this time.
Yes my plan backfired all right I'm just taking one one.
one for now one two Tanjiro’s back okay next move take one yeah just one just one.
two okay let's go let's go I'm building my base down here now I'm taking what's mine
back Tanjiro
five now how's that four oh it hurts me stop poking me all right one take it back take
it back take it back whatever I'm taking back the kanji the kanji is mine I summon Zenitsu
Back in the middle bonk in the middle next to his friend his piggy friend okay let me
see I actually want Zenitsu so I'm taking him from you oh I don't care about Zenitsu
but that hurts.
You took like four pain finally Nezuko uh-oh come out one two three three got that line
oh and I can’t take Nezuko too if she just stays there line in the middle I need to build
something to get Nezuko stop looking at Nezuko you already got Zenitsu I want them all okay.
oh you got you got you got the oinker. you could have him yeah he'd probably sabotage
you anyway so I'll use the boobed Hashira give me give me give me uh-oh she'll tempt
you actually I don't even care about the game anymore I just need to get the characters.
that's fine I don't want her anyway I'll take one just one see I'm sparing you I'm nice
all right next move Rengoku you're gonna burn me I'm ready I could take it I need some thunder
now.
oh no oh no Zenitsu come back to me no yes come on now Nezuko I got the Nezuko locked
I'm sorry dude I got the imouto power.
you took him back you you like Zenitsu I just need him for my collection come back to me
yeah she she's bonked and we keep on trading her off okay I know what I can do do it but
don't do it do the opposite okay Zenitsu come back again we keep on trading him yeah go
you want to only take one this is not the piece you're looking for I'm taking two take
the two enjoy them yeah Inosuke come back to me piggy okay I need the boar power I'm
gonna take him back both of them.
take some you could have them they're not Hashiras they're gonna be the Hashiras are
they who knows you gotta watch season two for that yeah hint hint one two three four
five six oh yes ah Zenitsu’s back my boy but I'm taking him back again god damn Zenitsu
freaking gets around trader I don't need one go go go oh no a whole dark line oh no you
can't penetrate that okay my turn one two three four.
Oh yes go one two three four five six.
Oh yes yes yes yes yes yes there we go it's night time is here. Screw your green mr green.
Nevermind one take it two you know what I’ve been keeping my Hashiras so I'm gonna use
them .
All right I still have like a plan so I'm saving my my final Hashira bullet all right
one back back to me back to the oh yeah back to the proud papa two you know what I'm gonna
taking one thing that you really love no no see ya let's go it's mine you make me lose
Nezuko.
Oh I gotta rip the shirt off now I think I already won the game now at this point you
can’t win her back now you talk a lot of crap I'm going to play my last Hashira go
one go two go three.
Okay let’s see okay I'm gonna use one too again this one I'm gonna just take him once
more.
Zenitsu again you could have him have him two I am kind okay how kind I am just like
two it's like a pinch okay I'm taking what's mine back one two three four five six seven
that hurts
that's like your first big move in this game all right I'll give it to you I'll give it
to you there's more to come we'll see about that and the game is almost over.
Yeah takes them back one two three four yes yes yes ah this is close so close too close
for comfort down to a few pieces ah I'm so confusing should I take my Tanjiro or two
of the Hashiras just take one just go for one don't be greedy. What would that will
do oh never mind I'll go with Hashiras then.
one two three four five six seven so much I'm gonna just do that two.
Your turn I think you made that worst move ever so don't say that let's go don't say
that yes Tanjiro is mine I lost the whole row I left her so wrong.
And it's seven again right one two three oh god four five six seven stop stop I can't
do much I could only do this.
all right okay we got so little moves left there's only like a few slots uh-huh I got
like two pieces two soldiers left okay so the next one is everyone's favorite Hashira
let's go there butterfly move okay one two three four five what oh come on six I think
you're cheating no ah you're using secret move not as flashy but two come back to me
okay at least I got the back line all right let me see what else can I do actually I don't
think there is much that I can do so yeah I think I think I'm done here so you have
to make the next move if you can change anything this is not good for me though but it's good
for me yeah try your best.
Come come come come yes.
can you go yeah I'm using my last Hashira.
yeah and there is only one place that I can place something yeah all right so can I place
those yeah oh my god I don't want to see it final one I don't know let's see one two three
four wait oh god one it looks very very close we're done crap crap crap crap we actually
got to the end without winning time to count I hope I won come on
oh my god what really 33 32 black 32 black yeah it's 32 on my side what so it's a draw
oh how did this happen where exactly half can this even good match dude we can count
the character now we have to in this very special moment all right counting oh no no
I'm at a disadvantage
So I won at least for the character no all right let’s let’s not count that we’re
