2
3	The Wattersons play a fantasy role-playing board game to resolve their differences.
4	----
5	!!Tropes:
6	* BalloonBelly: Nicole after the lunch break.
7	* CarMeetsHouse: The Wattersons' station wagon has crashed through the wall as a result of the family fighting earlier.
8	* ContinuityNod: An instrumental of "[[Recap/TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS5E16TheMatchmaker Without You]]" is briefly heard.
9	* FastballSpecial: Nicole's Barbarian tosses Gumball's Dwarf Warrior to help strike the final blow against the Witch.
10	* GenghisGambit: In the FinalBoss level, the family decides to turn against the GameMaster to gain an advantage, which is what Richard was planning.
11	* GlassSmackAndSlide: The shot of the car crashed into the living room shows Nicole's makeup smudged all over the windshield.
12	* HollywoodBoardGames: The Wattersons play ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' to settle a familial dispute. The gameplay is depicted very realistically (for a dysfunctional party, that is) and no one is characterized as geeky for enjoying the game.
13	* {{Mooning}}: Anais flashes her butt to her brothers to demonstrate that it "looks like a Fabergé egg" as a result of them bedazzling the toilet seat.
14	* RailRoading: In a more benevolent example, Richard has the party saved from falling off the edge of the world by a portal [[DeusExMachina spontaneously appearing under them]] that "conveniently" sends them to the end of the quest.
15	* ThrowItIn: Invoked by Richard when the family pauses in the middle of the final battle to get some food. When the session resumes, all characters and the boss itself are now sluggish from overeating.
16	* RPGEpisode: Richard makes the others play a role-playing game in order to get them to make up.
17	* RuleOfCool: Deliberately invoked by Richard when Darwin defeats a monster by breaking up with it via text message.
18	* ShoutOut:
19	** When Richard acts as [[GameMaster Dungeon Master]], he's dressed as the character of the same name from the ''WesternAnimation/DungeonsAndDragons1983'' cartoon.
20	** The riddle gate that the Wattersons go through is similar to the gate from ''Film/TheNeverEndingStory''.
21	** Anais's character looks like [[Film/LordOfTheRings Gandalf]].
22	* TranquilFury: Everybody except Richard displays signs of this at the beginning of the episode.
23	* WritingAroundTrademarks: It's all but stated the Wattersons are playing ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', with Richard specifying that they'll be "raiding dungeons and fighting dragons". At one point, he even namedrops Gary Gygax.
