My wife and I played Regicide. We beat it on our first playthrough. We laughed because of all the "it's super hard" reviews. We haven't won since.

[@MichaelNerman]

On the podcast they mentioned a similar experience. I think they beat it on their second game.

[@TigerVent]

Haha that's awesome! I love Regicide

"Good value for money, that boy." Still has me in stitches after several views.

[@Goombalove3000]

I love how much fun team SU&SD seem to have filming together :D

[@JonathanFitt]

Team videos are back! This was really good and reminiscent of early SUSD (but better quality). Tom is definitely great value for money, his solo reviews during the lockdown were always really innovative and it’s great to see him work like a funny bon-us multiplier.

[@DoctorEth]

When I first clicked the video and saw Tom's excited face in the corner I didn't dare get too excited because I just came from a Captain Disillusion-video and briefly wondered if they'd suddenly gotten really good at rotorscoping and it was just VFX trickery xD It warms the heart to see you being silly in the same room again!!

Thank you very much for another one of these! Especially the inclusion of Regicide, I’m visiting London for a few more days and had some time to sit in Kew Gardens, perfect chance to give the solo mode a play and it was a ball!

[@OranjeDiscoDancer]

I love the look of Oriflamme and Royal Visit. In other words, I love extremely pretty games with manageable strategy.

[@Neeber]

God, it's good to see you guys doing reviews with each other again. Easily one of the best reviews just in terms of pure entertainment value in a long time.

[@bwah9481]

Yes! Oriflamme is getting some love! It’s a game that took me by surprise.

[@Rawyr]

The skitting around on this one was excellent. The review never stopped or slowed in pace to fit in jokes, it all just flowed really well. This might be the best SUSD script I've ever seen, well done

[@AndyGoldman]

Tom's look at 3:03 made me laugh out loud, loudly, for real.

This is probably my favorite SU&SD video this year.

[@Kahedro]

Great video! What a twist that I'd heard of most of these already from your podcast but still a fun watch

[@kjoonlee]

As a Korean, the tigers in Spicy made me buy the game; they’re based on old Korean folk art of tigers: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minhwa

[@adamwoods6373]

I'm glad I hopped on the Regicide Kickstarter. It's an enjoyable game + a very pretty deck of cards.

[@demonicgrub1025]

Gotta say thanks for the recommendation on regicide, I printed out the pdf for that the day I saw this video, and I've already been playing it and loving it. Easily one of the best games you can play with a 52 card deck.

also the skit in the deli shop had me reminiscing about Brighton, i lived in Burgess Hill from 13 to 26 years old and i Adored being able to hop on the World's End train stop and be in such an exciting, massive city in 15 minutes all of the eddies and backstreets, both of the laines, the mahjong group who would regularly meet in the North Laine Brewhouse, effin Snoopers' Paradise, and my dearly departed Marwood cafe god i miss Brighton so much

[@parkersimpson4023]

Thank you for the Regicide recommendation, I've been thoroughly enjoying playing this brutal game! It's such a neat game design for a standard deck 🤯 Also, the wasp card looked pretty solid, so I would like to request the rest of Quinn's favorite cards of the year 😅😂

[@KaramelKushhh]

[@cwb95k]

This was one of my favorite sketches (is it ok to call it that? I'm not trying to say you're like SNL...) and quite informative. I'm glad to see BGA growing. I have a premium membership and love using the venue to learn new games (sometimes adding them to my collection later). Perhaps one day we will meet in a game room....where wil lose terribly.

[@chrismichael9556]

This is a great series. So glad you did another one of these.

[@codgodthegreat]

This was a great video, and while I'm definitely interested in several of the games covered, I was also strangely intrigued to get a glimpse at some of Quinn's books at the start of the Fantasy Realms segment (I've had books on the mind recently). So I spent a little time squinting at the titles (and googling images of covers for confirmation) to add them to my to-read list. Since I've identified them all now, at risk of seeming weird I figured I might as well list them here for anyone else who's similarly interested to save them the time: The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison Senlin Ascends by Josiah Bancroft The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse The Kingdom of Copper by S.A. Chakraborty Mordew by Alex Pheby In a happy coincidence, two of these are among a set of books I ordered a couple of days ago for extra lockdown reading, so now I'm looking especially forward to those arriving.

[@Omnidoom]

"Senlin Ascends" is the start of an all-time great series, imo. The fourth and final book is out in November.

[@konstie]

@@Omnidoom thanks - next book on audible!

[@TheRealCodeBlack]

I got Fantasy Realms back when SU&SD's podcast covered it a month or so ago, and it's been a big hit for pretty much every audience I've tried it with. The fact that it's an extremely self evident teach that only needs a few sentences and a basic knowledge of how to add and multiply to understand makes it really take off.

[@hastyscorpion]

Did Tom call a game “ eminently edible” ? I don’t know if that is a trait I am looking for in games.

[@tomswiftodst]

Board Game Arena has been absolutely fantastic in this last year! The premium has been totally worth it, and if you have a consistent group, only one person needs to have it, so you could definitely split it a couple ways to make it even cheaper. They seem to come out with a new game every single darn day, and not like no name games either, some real big hitters like Viticulture, Lost Ruins of Arnak and Castles of Burgundy. It also does a lot of very finicky games well, we play 6 Nimmit super often and it becomes such a quick quick game since it does all the maths and organizing for you. Huge recommend!! btw I did listen to the podcast guys 🤗

[@2dTones]

Can I just say Tom has gotten really good at this? This is a Tom appreciation post

[@VerenaFuchs]

11:37 The title "Auf der Reeperbahn nachts um halb zwei (two)” is based on the song and movie ”Auf der Reeperbahn nachts um halb eins (one)” from 1954. „Blonde Hans“ is Hans Albers, the main character in the movie who also sings the song.
