SERVING OUR DARK LORD

SERVING OUR DARK LORD is an episode of Board AF that aired on April 22, 2018. The episode centers around the card game Aye, Dark Overlord and features Shayne Topp from the Smosh Squad.

Gameplay
One player (here, Jovenshire) is the Dark Overlord while the others (Boze, Damien, Shayne, and Wes) are his servants. The Dark Overlord effectively serves as a permanent judge while the remaining players are each trying to avoid being the loser using the cards they have in their hand. The Overlord will demand that his servants explain themselves for having failed a recent mission. Specifically, the Overlord will choose one servant to interrogate first, who will then use their cards to create and explanation for why they are not to blame. Cards are divided into two categories:

1. Hint Cards - these cards contain fictional elements such as trolls and wizards that they then must weave into their narrative to create a scenario where the failure was not their fault.

2. Action Cards - these allow a servant to influence the narrative in specific ways in their favor. The most common is the Blame card, which allows them to telll their story in a way that suggst a specific servant is really to blame; at this point the Overlord must now interrogate the blamed servant instead. Alternatively, playing the Interrupt card when it is not your turn allows you to influence the story as you wish despite someone else being interrogated.

At any point during the debate, the Dark Overlord can pass judgment by deeming that one servant is clearly to blame. He then gives the servant of his choosing a "withering stare" before moving on to a new topic or discussing a parituclar detail of the last mission. Gameplay continues as such until one servant has received three withering stares.

(WARNING: The Following is a spoiler for the end of the video)

The servant with three withering stares must then draw from the deck of game cards. If they draws a card with a skull, they lose. Owing to the fate of this playthrough, it's unclear what happens if the card drawn does not have a skull on it.
