Critical Review - Smash Up! with Watch it Played!

[@laingzall]

gotta use mall crawl on those tenaciuous z's not the walkers

[@CritsHappen]

That is awesome to hear, I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for commenting and watching. If you get it, let us know what you think!

[@MrJobocan]

I got this game a week ago and haven't played it yet. Very useful to see how it's actually played, I'll be able to teach this very easily. Thanks!

[@4lphao256]

Smash Up is a great game, expecially with all expansions. Highly recommend it for small groups of friends to play, it's great with 3-4 people!

[@oberstklink736]

But Duells are also fun

[@Tremor1776]

Just hopped in the KZbin time machine and landed on this video. Looks like a fun game, looking forward to giving this a play in 2018!

[@DanielMarquez1]

Thank you for this video. I can't believe I missed it when it was first published! Weird. I only wish there was more video of the two of you playing the game and the two of you together in general ;)

[@CritsHappen]

Thanks, I wish we were closer to play more and video tape more too... alas, Rodney's in the Great White North and I'm in the Deep, Deep south :) And, we didn't even play a game at Gen Con this year! Must be rectified... perhaps with a gentleman's bet, for 2014!

[@Ragnarokender]

Great team up, keep it up guys

[@reasonablecheese]

I love the look of this game and you guys have done a great job of selling me on it too! straight to the top of my 'to be bought' list!

[@CritsHappen]

Thanks Marcus, glad you liked it! We had a lot of fun making it! Looking forward to more fun this Gen Con, but yes, that place is LOUD! Mic or no mic, it's rough to shoot live. Rodney did great camera and editing work though on this. Fun times and hope you enjoyed the game as well!

[@PMMagro]

Now I know why he plays against his kids! I am a fan off both channels, great to find this old gem :-)

[@CritsHappen]

Ha! Thank you sir. Even I'm afraid to play against Luke! This was a lot of fun, Rodney (and his family) are great!

[@CritsHappen]

Congrats, it's a lot of fun and I hope you liked it! There's a new expansion already for it, and a Cthulhu one coming too!

[@kiprm208]

Great job Rodney is awsome and he is how I found you!

[@CritsHappen]

Thanks, this was a lot of fun to make. Great game (and great playing partner!)

[@CritsHappen]

Thanks, glad you liked it! Welcome aboard!

[@CritsHappen]

Awesome, glad you liked it! Let us know if you get it what you think too!

[@CritsHappen]

Ha! Tell me about it! 99% of what you see on my site is self-purchased so I know how crazy it is! Hopefully the videos help you choose which to purchase and get the best bang for your buck :-)

[@godofzombi]

Trivia: Evans City cemetery is the location from Night of the Living Dead.

[@MeatBombMMB]

Audio really gets drowned out towards the end, but the video got me excited for the game nonetheless.

[@tracephage]

@9:40 Buccaneer should've also gone to another base?

[@CritsHappen]

The buccaneer says that if he would be destroyed he could be moved. I believe that scoring the base only "discards" the minions at that base, not destroy them, but that's how I've always played it. Thanks for watching!

[@Butmac]

Awesome video, guys. Not gonna lie, I just checked to see if my local store had it in yet...can't wait for it to come out, you sold me on a copy :)

[@Pigeon3434]

Man, I need to get that game! Came to that video cuz of Rodney!

[@AgentKuo]

Interesting, it's kinda like Battle Line or Four Tribes, but with more theme and flavor. I like it!

[@BlimpMcGee]

I like what you guys did there, both obviously have a strong character, at least enough to have your own YT channel and keep it growing, I felt the explanation and overall commenting was very balanced, the sound was indeed a bit distracting though

[@CritsHappen]

Thanks! Only half my fault, but Ninjas are pretty dang fun! What's your favorite faction with them? I like Wizards and Ninjas a lot!

[@crasher303]

Great review. I liked the review style of two game reviewers going head to head, or smashing up.

[@brandonturpin8932]

Oh my I must have that Drizzt game on your lower shelf

[@CritsHappen]

The Legend of Drizzt is a GREAT DND game! I highly recommend it!

[@TheKetsa]

You didn't find a noisier environment ?

[@ImDoneItsOver]

"Crits Happen", the Love for Undead Pirates, you should really look into Cardfight Vanguard's Clan GranBlue (if you have not already) :)

[@CritsHappen]

I have not, I shall do so with haste! Thanks!

[@CritsHappen]

Thanks! He is pretty cool, just don't tell him I said that, I'd never hear the end of it :) Hope you like our sites too! Thanks for watching!

[@snuggiethegoblin7101]

Dat Voltron shirt doah!

[@CritsHappen]

He's a pretty good player too! :)

[@trickykid3000]

awesome video! i heard this game lacks as a 2 player brawl but it still looks pretty fun.

[@NeoGenMike]

Funny thing. I've played this game a LOT and I feel that it's a lot stronger and a lot more enjoyable as a two player game.

[@trickykid3000]

I am hopefully going to buy a used set tomorrow, cant wait!

[@NeoGenMike]

trickykid3000 Awesome, man. I bought a copy and 9000 + Monster Smash all together because I was so sure I was gonna like it and I really do. It's one of those really enjoyable card games. Amazon has all of them really cheap right now, too (If you were planning on doing their 35$=Free Shipping thing)

[@bengalifan]

Nice review guys! It looks like I have a new channel to watch as well!

[@AgentKuo]

Does the game come with something to keep score, or do you have to bust out the old pen and paper?

[@Polovene]

The base set : no. The expansions have point tokens to use with the base set.

[@AgentKuo]

Nestor Quintero Okay, cool.

[@mariskalnins8356]

The bakanier live if he is destroyd he moves to a different base

[@dragonmaster613]

Should have played scry first after archmage!

[@MrNemitri]

Draw shouldn't be the last thing you do, it should be the first thing to do.

[@CritsHappen]

Not sure why you say that... step 4, out of 5, in the rules, is draw... not step 1... what am I missing?

[@CritsHappen]

Or are you saying you would prefer to draw first, not at the end of your turn?

[@risherry]

Rodney is so funny :)

[@CritsHappen]

LOL, that is funny! Well, we planned on playing through and showing you guys everything, but he put up a great fight so it would have probably taken too long :) He's a fierce competitor though!

[@gregoryj12]

I didn't know who the guy on the left was until he said "CARD"... then I knew it was Rodney LOL

[@veliademveli]

nice video

[@olerdbltau9328]

i take to alien and wisard

[@maximem.ste-marie3578]

ARRRGHHH, NO SLEEVES!!!

[@CritsHappen]

Well, to be fair, this was the release of the game AT Gen Con so AEG just handed us a game to play with. :)

[@DarkoPorsche]

Really bad sound on this video.

[@CritsHappen]

I'm sorry, I'll start sharing more misses :)

[@justinbrauchler124]

This sucks.... Now I have another game to put on my wish list ;) great video and review!

[@zrissl]

would you and rodney smith please STOP making game reviews I'm running out of money!!! thanks
