Bastard Boyfriend is no longer a trope


* In ''Fury of Dracula'', the players make a big deal for RuleOfFunny of Mina being the conflicted ex-girlfriend of BastardBoyfriend Dracula. One moment, they end up confronting one another, with people pointing out that, if she gets bit, she is as good as dead. What does Mina do? Punch Dracula in the face then run off.

* In the Takenoko episode, Harley Morenstein uses a combination of ObfuscatingStupidity and siphoning good advice from Wil to ultimately take the game by a decisive amount, despite the fact that he had never played the game before. His shit-eating grin at the Wall of Victory says it all.
** Special mention must go to the turn in which he was able to play three scoring cards in a single turn due to having just the right arrangement of yellow tiles on the board.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Eldritch Horror'' has a few moments, starting with an unintentional one coming from the 'Wil Dice Curse' of all things. In an attempt to secure a token on the Mystery card, (which they need two of to complete the mystery to advance their win count, and there was already a token present) he rolls crap all twice, and ends up not contributing. Cue the Mythos Phase, which would return a completed mystery back to deck, resetting the team's progress. ''Except'', Wil never completed the card, so it is unaffected by the Mythos Card. Wil even travels back in time to ensure the roll is horrifically bad just to ensure the card isn't shuffled back in.
** At one point, the team had three blessings on the table, with each character bar one owning one. Then a card tells one of the owners to gain a blessing (with blessings, if a new one would be gained, you instead flip the original card over). The team braces for a bad thing to happen... And instead discover that he not only gets to keep his blessing, but gains two clues from it in the process!
** A dark moment of awesome was gained by the game's narrative, as the person playing the [[InsistentTerminology "(reformed)]] cultist" gained a dark pact card, which in the short term removes a monster in play for free. Later on, the Mythos Deck tells the cultist to roll for 'reckoning' on their pact. They rolled a 1, a failure, and had to pay the cost... The cultist instantly '''killed one of their allies!''' Narratively, the cultist was not in fact reformed, and was [[TokenEvilTeammate still secretly evil]] and supporting the eldritch gods; and for a game to pull a MassOhCrap on the players, it deserves a spot on this page.

* Wil faces off against a professional ''Magic'' player Melissa [=DeTora=] in Star Realms. For the uninitiated, Star Realms is a deckbuilder similar to Legendary, only it is player versus player. Wil has a bad start to the game, with Melissa's deck just wailing on him repeatedly, until Wil manages to get a [[YouShallNotPass high HP outpost out to defend himself]], letting him stall for time. Then he is able to deal a critical blow to her, knocking her down to just six health while he has 24. After a crappy draw from Wil leaves her with just three health to his 22, what does Melissa do? She draws ''the'' '''perfect'' set of cards needed to defeat Wil in one shot!
