Let's Play Extreme Jenga! - Lost In The Shuffle

0:00 today can we conquer a tower of power or will we get lost in the shuffle that's the name of this show Paula Chaz hello hi and thank you for joining me I'm so excited to be here me too what are we here for that's an excellent question why don't we say that we are here to launch a brand new series called Lost in the shuffle we're going to be exploring various offbeat tabletop board and card game related topics and doing some challenges and playing some games and playing some games including today oh my goodness what game are we playing don't know yet today we are going to be playing a game that we all know and love but we're going to take it to the extreme oh boy I'm nervous Fair totally fair but let me ask you a question okay Paula what is your favorite hardwood board gaming accessory uh kocol disc oh good answer I also would have accepted Jenga which is made with official genuine hardwood oo so Jenga hardwood Jenga it's not in here say the game is somewhere we'll find the game and once I find the game we will extrem ay Jenga oh boy and let's actually start off found it yes let's Jenga let's Jenga

1:31 Chaz yes why do we have blindfolds ah You' noticed I haven't put mine on yet so I can see that we both have them okay this is step one in extrem aying Jenga all right go so all we got to do now is we got a okay several things we need to do now actually one is find the jengle board okay did I turn this camera on let's see what happens taking Jenga on to the next level of extremity uh why don't you go first all right here we go all I got to do okay I'm finding the board so fast okay uh I got it you can't even tell which way the block is facing at first so you kind of have to feel around the other blocks yeah I yeah that's fine we'll just like I got one take something I got one out now I got to put on back on top you got to find where it is I got to find the top oh here we go I think I found the top and uh it's hard to tell if you're going crisscross or not but I think I got a crisscross applesauce there we go over to you oh boy how's it going okay I've got I touched one it started to move and I just have to get it from the other side all right gosh okay there's the top what technique did you employ I pushed from the center oh really I went I put my hand gently toward the tower until something started to move and I just happened to land on a loose one okay is it back to me then it is back to you now okay see I'm going around I'm coming around the front I'm doing like a tower cup okay and then I am a tower cup what do you mean you're only using one hand right I'm only using

3:02 one hand but I'm kind of wrapping my hand around the tower to find one that's the first block I can find that goes across and then oh no think I pulled it like a third of the way out I found it got find it I found I found it okay let me go back find that one and finish my pull oh oh my God it was so fast oh so blindfolded Jenga what would you rate that on the extreme score stable table I mean fairly extreme just because you knocked it over on your second drive that may not have been any fault of the blindfold so that might have just been me it's very difficult because so much of what you're doing and adjusting physically in this game is based on what you're observing with your eyes while you play it so I think this is a real challenge true true but I think we can get even more challenging and even more extreme oh my god with this now we introduce centrifugal force into the mix oh my goodness we're doing this for science really is what we're doing this is scientific research and you're welcome this is our contribution to society this is it this is our life's purpose this is it I I think that this might be a good speed you know so there you go just do unto others what you would like done into you you know oh no okay no guys the centrifugal force is not going to stop oh no oh boy that was a bad first piece oh my yeah now I don't

4:32 know which direction to go but I think I'm going to go yoink that's good ah I think yanking is definitely the way to go I wanted to on that one but it just wasn't going to let me see if I can move this back the other way oh that's a good oh no that was that's so dicey oh no this look at what is look at what I did this okay I know which one I'm going to take uh I think it's this guy right here come to me all right good oh now I don't know which way to put back I'm going to put in the middle ha I want that one oh my oh good pick I can't that's the other hand I almost accidentally cheated if you're going to cheat cheat on purpose all right now what will you take this is making me very nervous yink jeez sorry you scared me and I stopped turning oh I think I gave you an obvious choice though well I guess I'm taking this one oh no huz oh my gosh oh is the turntable speeding up here I'm going to try and be consistent in my that's not very extreme oh dive for it ball dive I didn't want it to go all right how would you rate the extremeness of turntable Jenga I think that's uh that's extreme if blindfolder was fairly extreme this does feel a step up from that so I'm going to call it extreme it's that that added some real dice to the whole

6:06 situation okay I'll give you that we'll categorize that as extreme but Extreme with a lower Casey now it's time to take Jenga fully extreme with a capital E this episode is made possible in part by A Touch of Evil a fastpaced game of fish creatures dashing Heroes and high adventure now back and eviler than ever with a brand new revised Edition here unique monster hunting Heroes Race Against Time to stop the forces of Darkness from claiming a foothold in the world of mortal men only by investigating the town and building your hero's strength will you have a hope of hunting down the supernatural villain to its lir and defeating them in an epic showdown A Touch of Evil supports competitive cooperative and team comp competition games so grab a wooden steak stuff some shot into your trusty musket and follow the link in this video's description to find the revised edition of the game at your friendly local game store or order it online directly from the flying frog webstore where you'll also find exclusive card supplement expansions for the game and who wouldn't want that I want that I wish I had that right now well after you get yours share the game with your game group but remember no one can be TR trusted for inside everyone lies a touch Just a Touch of Evil the quantity of evil among

8:21 through oh my all right all right oh look at this let's try this oh yeah y this one super loose I was hoping my last one was going to be that and it was not there we go okay let's see let's use the momentum of this contraption to our advantage oh no oh oh oh that's so you just hold on to it and you let it you let it pull away for you oh interesting oh I think I see one this one right here wants to go can I go with it oh look at that I'm using the momentum of the machine good advice Paula oh man I give you good advice oh boy

9:09 nope oh saved whoa oh my gosh my adrenaline is going I definitely peaked the Audio I think I see one oh yeah it's loose it is loose come to me there we go gpes oh no not that one oh it's a little stuck on that end but can you get back on top oh no magusta oh God that's almost lad bearing you're so right though letting the machine do the work for you that's a way to go okay all I gotta do is get it up here oh come on buddy I'm scared oh I don't know it's leaving we should pull from this direction to help it lean that way

10:14 maybe who is it going to be oh my word this is not oh I cannot believe you found one that's just loose and I got get it back up here come on Center oh no I thought I had it oh I think you placing it on their r as it came to a stop worked against you the machine finally worked against me pretty extreme but is it as Extreme as we can go can we go extreme in all capital letters I think so this is fullon 1993 neon green and yellow Full Throttle absolute extreme and capital letters I don't even think this is possible Chaz oh certainly it is I I will demonstrate you're going to knock it over immediately oh I'm just going to Shield myself ye of a little Jinga Faith okay and all I got to do first is find it find it okay I'm going to go watch out my arm's coming your way I'm going to let it run into me okay it's coming maybe oh here it is okay found it uh I think I got one uh here's one here we go oh that was so scary now I got to just get this bad boy back on top uh here's the top and oh my gosh it's done I've successfully got a turn able to do this

11:45 I don't even know where it is oh here's okay oh gosh oh no I have more than one okay oh I used two hands but it doesn't count it doesn't matter I accidentally touched it with both hands at first but then I okay that's quite all right now oh oh oh it's okay here it is okay I think I got one I know I know which one I'm going to take okay I'm using the the will of the machine again let the machine take it oh oh nope it's pulling the whole thing yikes oh my gosh it didn't fall it didn't fall I'm scared now I felt it mov oh no I felt the like the reverse the inertia that the whole thing was coming with okay but now I got to find it again to put it back on top oh it's right it's near me oh okay okay I'm oh I found the turntable okay I'm going finding my way back up to I don't know if it's which way is cross or not but there I there it's on there it's it's on there it's back to you oh my gosh okay you can do it gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh okay here's one oh my gosh I'm scared okay I got one I got one oh no all the way out yeah oh what's happening up here okay oh I don't know I had to use two hands up top because I couldn't tell what was happening with the pieces up there I'll allow

13:15 it okay I'm going to try oh I found it already it's right here next to me okay uh it's still moving it's moving the way I want it to I'm letting the machine do the work oh slipped right out like butter and now I'm going to see if I can let the machine do the work I'm going to try plopping it back on top oh golden back to you I'm generally surprised that we're still going and it hasn't tumbled yet oh my gosh I got one we're finding all the loose ones what I don't know how you're putting these up top Chaz but it's not correct to be fair I don't know either oh no it's going to fall it's going to fall oh sorry I I I cheated I kept it from falling I know I cheated okay what's this where are we at what's the status here cuz I was trying to fix your mess oh my mess I see okay I don't know where to start what I see I feel a giant Gap all right I think this is I think this is the end right here it's okay I technically have lost because it would have fallen I got one out yeah you get it back on top cuz that's where I was thwarted okay oh I got to use the same hand here why did I use my left hand I don't know where the power is I got to let it come to me okay I did it oh my God I don't know if it was a legal placement it's not I can guarantee based on how it's felt every time it's come to me but it was not a legal placement I'm so sorry which is why I feel okay having cheated

14:48 okay there's no way oh my gosh I got it out I can't believe it no I just knocked your crazy off the top fair enough fair enough I am not following the rules when I'm placing up top I keep using both hands because I'm just trying to find it are you telling me Paula that while we're playing Jenga on a lazy Susan on a moving platform blindfolded you're not following the general rules of Jenga all right is it back to me it's you all right where is this guy oh wow I got one that's super loose in fact I I just almost pushed it out just by find trying to find the tower I love somehow we're better at this game under all these extreme somehow it's like our senses are honed to be the best versions of ourselves cuz we're fighting for our survival we're Daredevil we are Daredevil you get it up on yes I have no idea okay I tried to get it legal I'm almost certain that wasn't a legal placement on top so if you knock mine off top still okay this is what I touched what's happening I'm like what am I touching hold on this it's this oh no what I don't even know oh here we go okay I couldn't understand what was happening I can't believe the number of loose one I know okay oh no it happened when I was putting it back on top and that time I didn't cheat and catch it like I did last time mega super all caps neon letters fullon throttle 90s extreme Jenga I

16:19 feared for my life your mission accomplished all right this is the only way I'm playing Jenga from now on to be fair though we we do have a little bit of a a mess to tidy up here and uh we will do that and we'll be right back with a game night pick a suggestion of a game to perhaps consider for your next game night all right Paula uh now that we have unext ified our workspace do you have a suggestion for a game night pick I do have a suggestion for a game night Pick and it is a game that I think fits this sort of extreme theme and that's field Dearing winning Sky team that's the name of the award uh this is a Cooperative game for two players about trying to land a plane and you have one of you is a pilot one of you is a CO co-pilot you're rolling dice but behind a little screen so that the other player doesn't know what your dice are and once you roll dice you're not allowed to talk to each other anymore and you have to one at a time place dice out on this little board to try and get things to line up just right to successfully land your plane it's got different real life airports different challenges and things for you to do to try and you know not crash one thing I love about this game is there's one way to win and about 37 ways to lose yeah you can come up short you can come up long you can run out of things your equipment cannot work you can just generally just fa you can be a little too like tilty little too little too tilty not tilty enough mhm on a scale of one to 237,000

17:53 316 okay what would you rate the challenge level of this bad boy it ranges from frankly from 1 to 21673 or whatever Fair number you said because there's like I said with the variety of challenges and airports and scenarios that you can play with you can go for much more straightforward in like your tutorial scenario they have and they are two really really difficult versions of the game and so I actually really think it runs the gamut I make a very good point about the variability of this game which I think is even further enhanced by the what turbulence extra turbulence there's a turbulence expansion yeah and it adds even more even more challenge to the game so I choose Sky team as the game night pick I think that Sky team has perfect potential to be an extreme experience in and of itself even without playing it blindfolded I think so too another great thing not to do blindfolded is to catch the next episode that we'll be putting out in just a couple of days yeah we hope you'll stick around and enjoy more of what we've got cooking up for you i' I've long since cut at this point though and not recording this anymore so Tulu bye
