How is that bad luck Brian? I don't get how it's bad if those two come up on the board.
He can never open double TM and collide, but for his opponent, he would get 4 Golds turn 3

What? He pays $4 for a Treasure map turn 1, then $3 plus coin for another turn 2, then turn 3 he lucks out and collides them. How is it even related to the fact that he started a game or not?

but he doesn't luck out

But that's not the meme. The meme is that he starts a new pro game, and then its bad luck that Treasure map and baker are on the board. But it's not. If the meme were "Treasure map Baker on board, Treasure maps never collide" that might be a Bad luck brian.

it's bad luck because of the coinflippiness of the board. since he always has bad luck, a random based board is bad luck for him. his opponent willl collide treasure maps t3, so even if he is the better player, he can't win.

Yeah, I get it now. I guess the long explanation defeats the purpose of a punchy joke that you normally see in memes.

Except he won't, because he's Bad Luck Brian.  I think.

I assumed it was he got a 5/2 split, and it wasn't a well-thought-out meme.

The next Bad luck brian meme should be "Starts a pro game, Goons on the board." because he'll never hit $6.

This is all too meta. Bad luck Brian memes should assume that the events in the meme are the unlucky events themselves. You have to assume he is not cursed with bad luck outside of the meme's scope.

The point is that those 2 cards being on the board lead to a situation where luck can matter a whole lot. If you are lucky, you can get 4 Golds on turn 3. But since he is Bad Luck Brian, he will NOT be so lucky, and furthermore, his opponent WILL be so lucky. So it's something of a meta-joke, the situation is only bad for him because he's unlucky in general.

Good Guy Greg usually lets him win a game when they play best of three.
