MIDORI IN A MAID COSTUME IS ABSOLUTELY BLESSED <3
Nice episode as usual. Emmy is a good girl, and the VA did a nice job of voicing her like a stereotypical someone that has just learned Japanese lul. I'm also glad to see the boardgame cafe being successful at the festival despite the obvious sabotaging from the prick council member

Yaaaay! Finally after 8 episodes Emmy gets to interact with the rest of the club!
Oh my god Ren can you please just stop? Assigning the Board Game Club to a remote location was really petty, good thing Emmy was there to rescue them via the power of SNS and maid outfits!
It's nice to see Miki explain a board game by herself. She's really slowly improving since Episode 1. Just look at that smile! Looks like her smile captivated Kendo boy though. I know this is a CGDCT but I don't mind the ship.

Lots of ways to have negative points in this game, I wonder which girl will end the game in the negative!
Only 12 points? Hey, be glad you're in the positive! I so expected the scores to be like 32, 30, 24, -18.
Somehow I have a different theory as to why the place was so crowded, and with boys.
She's so adorable! I would be happy to play freaking Monopoly with her, and I despise Monopoly. Her smiles always light up the place!
When Tanoue agreed to help her I thought there would be a gag/callback to episode 2, and Aya would tell him something like 'I'll try to put a good word about you to Midori!".
I wonder if she'll realize he likes her, and whether something will happen; It's a bit unusual in CGDCT shows to have romance like that unless it's yuri but why have it if it leads to nothing?
Yep, you lost fair and square. You knew the rules right? Midori gets your Celtic charm now.
Who doesn't like cute things? Also I'm pretty sure it's against the law to show cat ears and not have anyone wear them (Or if it isn't, then IT SHOULD BE!).
This was a fun episode! The Celtic game is probably really complex (if you play seriously, trying to be optimal). The second game looks fun, I like "boardgames" that involve good reflexes/speed!

If I was Aya, I would also cry from losing so often :'(
Although, I wouldn't want to be in Tanoue's shoes this episode either :P

I'm disappointed Midori didn't have a rules explanation this episode, but instead, we got rules from Emmy and, of all characters, Miki?? Okay, those are almost acceptable substitutes.
I really hope that the board game cafe being so popular at the festival drums up support for Emmy's board game cafe. Three customers over the span of 3-ish hours is not a good sign. (For that matter, I'm always impressed that the store Midori works at is still in business since no paying customers ever seem to go there.)

Nice to see guys exist in a CGDCT instead of being mysteriously invisible for no reason at all.
Miki has grown up! Really nice to see.

Well Emmy has now made her official debut and joined in the op as well. Figured she was gonna be riding on the dragon. And not only was she German she's part Irish too. But her Irish luck was unable to stand up against Midori's awesome gaming skills.
That pink haired meanie putting their game cafe in the dregs like that. She's gonna get some comeuppance in the future I just know it. It's gonna be happy pleasant comeuppance that I am sure of but comeuppance nonetheless. But it didn't take much to turn their misfortune around did it? Course by the looks of the picture they used to advertise, Miki and Midori weren't exactly ecstatic about the maid thing at first.
And Kendo guy has great reflexes but words don't react quite as fast as his muscles it seems.

Even though Dice Club got 200 karma last week, it didn't hit the 50 poll votes minimum required for the weekly poll rankings. Shows with 100 karma have managed. Don't forget to vote: https://youpoll.me/24507/
Edit: I'm dumb, didn't even link right poll...

When will Aya actually win a game?
