00:00Welcome to Europe, home to the open border Schengen area and the board for our most ambitious
00:06country claiming game ever.
00:09Right now, it's 6.30am, so we gotta go, go, go!
00:12Get the camera, get the camera, get the camera!
00:14Let's go!
00:15All right, Ben!
00:16Let's go!
00:17Oh, time's going very fast.
00:19We just gotta get over the bridge into Austria.
00:21Come on, let's go, go, go, go, 459!
00:23In this game, the goal is simple.
00:25The team that controls the most countries at the end of six days wins.
00:29In play are the 29 countries in the Schengen area, plus these for microstates.
00:34To claim a country, all we need to do is go there.
00:37We can take as many trains, buses, or ferries as we like, and we have a $4,000 budget for
00:41flights.
00:42Once we've claimed a country, it's ours, but it's still vulnerable to being stolen
00:46by the other team.
00:47If we want to permanently lock down our ownership of a particular country, we'll have one
00:51attempt to complete that country's challenge.
00:54Oh, here we go, we're getting started.
00:56Play Waffle Pong.
00:57Kill time, then tell time.
00:59Play classical music on non-classical instruments.
01:16Buongiorno.
01:17We have re-scooped, we did it on the scoop.
01:21We thought they weren't going to be able to do this.
01:23What are the odds that it keeps being this close?
01:26Yeah.
01:27I hope they're stressing.
01:28I really hope that's stressing.
01:29I hope they're stressing.
01:30F***ing damn it.
01:31F***ing damn it.
01:32I don't think they'll beat us.
01:33We can beat them, I think.
01:34Plan part two.
01:35Panic.
01:36I never panic, Tom.
01:47We want deep, large holes, I think.
01:52You made your own jokes.
01:59You made your own jokes.
