Railroad Ink - Shut Up & Sit Down Review

[@mandarinduck]

You just have to have a friend get the other version, then you can trade the version exclusives with a link cable.

[@marunalister5597]

Considering the games theme I'm just imagining opening the boxes next to each other and a tiny cable car carrying the unique dice across.

[@MrTombombodil]

It's nice to see that Quinns' unironic love of trains hasn't faded after all these years.

[@dartfast]

You guys spent way too much time on that Roland Wright wikipedia gag. Loved it

[@r1c3b4nd1t]

ooooh look at that perfectly framed and lit shot... and the animation?! wow! you guys have gone leaps and bounds (video quality wise) from the early days but still the same humor, wit, and insight! and i got that pokemon game color reference...

[@edwardswain]

r1c3b4nd1t literally came to post this.

[@andrewplaysyellow]

If you don’t see why SUSD don’t just churn out a review a day, pause at 0:22 and have a read. Bloody brilliant.

[@zachmoring284]

Animation?! In my Shut Up and Sit Down? Is this the future? Is TODAY the future? Great work y'all!

[@michaelrabon1189]

6:46- that subtle light effect made me feel emotions.

[@Hghartung]

Just bought Green today after playing Cartographers! I never would have thought of Roll and Write games as anything more than Yahtzee without you. I’m really loving the solo play as an alternative quiet time to reading before bed

[@TheBlueSun0]

How on earth I missed my favourite game being on SUSD?

[@gordoncalleja]

Love the trip into Quinn's animated choo-choo driver consciousness!

[@marcthompson5633]

That last scene made me imagine Whitechapel. The dark lighting and the way he kept looking over his shoulder looking for pursuers...

[@gartsur84]

Just came from the far future to watch a video about some 26 expansions

[@ImmenseDisciple]

You clearly put so much love and effort into this - and it all pays off. You guys are the best. Thanks for making me smile on a cold winter morning :)

[@michellekoh6538]

That opening joke destroyed me and now i have to stop laughing before i resume watching or i wont hear a thing

[@mkhartnett]

"Are any of us "alright?" Oh how little did he know what was coming in a few months.

[@kamotoo]

10:21 "Thank you for cho-choosing" made me laugh!

[@manlyduckling]

Absoltely the best board game review channel. I've watched this particular video three times and have now ordered the game. But whether or not it helped me pick a game is not the best thing about it. The best thing about it is the entertainment value. Just hilarious.

[@KZsZs]

My hernia is getting better. Thanks for asking.

[@kevinporter7065]

If I wasn't already a long-time subscriber, I would have subscribed from this video. Well done, as always

[@WiseWizardGames]

love watching your reviews. I just picked up this game and wanted a quick overview of how it plays and a few laughs and you provided just what I needed. Deb

[@RyanEdwardsVA]

No matter how many games you play, no matter if you love them or hate them, no matter how many countless eons pass, SU&SD will always be haunted by trains.

[@Mat23]

Matt and Quins, your boardgame reviews have always made our fam seek out new games and warmly laugh! :) Thanks for continuing to make these, they're great!

[@wiblick]

I went with the app for both Railroad Ink and Cartographers, really enjoying them - My drawings would be utterly indecipherable even to myself, and I need the app to tell me what I can and can't place....

[@oleksandrhorskyi8442]

Hands down the best review channel youtube ever seen. Thanks SUSD!

[@Nogoodusernamehere]

Jesus, Paul is gone for just a bit and Quinns turns into a kleptomaniac.

[@ThomasZwanzinger]

Just watched this video again because it is so entertaining; It is just true for so many of your videos: it is also a review but making it that funny and well produced gives it a longevity that is unique; Bravo Sirs.

[@xanadu1215]

You guys are the TOTAL best. And Amazon must love you too from what I've spent on your recommendations. My spouse is up to her eyebrows in games from you that are not even out of the boxes yet. THANK YOU!!!!!!

[@BrunsterCoelho]

These videos - Just wow! I barely play board games but your channel is enjoyable that I am now trying to organise bg nights - keep making them, they make my day!

[@antoniodcoelho]

I'd just like to say that the video quality of this review was Amazing. You guys really delivered! Nice animations and editing!

[@stacie_everdell]

Lovely review, thanks guys. I've seen this game here and there, but never a review. This was great. All the details I need and your stamp of approval for me to confidently add it to my collection. And as always, entertaining and top-notch production. Kudos to the WHOLE team!

[@dustonfilm]

"vast tundra of blank unknown".. this is why you are the best (and worst) for feeding my board game addictions.

[@rcbcarm987]

These guys are the best. Like watching a review and a short sitcom.

[@samuelallen2212]

Was waiting for this review to drop before I decide which version to get - but it sounds like they’re both equally good! Decisions, decisions...

[@del9lah]

First he takes Pandemic Legacy, and Now Railroad Ink blue box. NOOOOO!!!!! ;-P

[@TraceFive]

And Root too!

[@lumberking5612]

"it's a spicy boy" laughed so hard. Great review! Keep em coming.

[@BEEateMAN]

Definitely looks fun. Also yey! I'm excited for Anni-mate working on your videos too :D

[@wayner7263]

Whoever thought of the cover packaging should be commended. The titles for each box instantly remind you of not only of pokemon but also that there is a counterpart box with its own differences. Saw the big box that comes with all the expansions and want them all (especially the Cthulhu expansion).

[@hadlee73]

Wow love the animation, guys!

[@dertruthahn]

the production value of this video is through the roof O.O

[@herlaqueen]

I was lucky enough to try the game shortly before its final version and I had so much fun! I love games where I have to make the best of a randomized element, and Railroad Ink perfectly hits the spot. I love playing it with friends and seeing everyone's reactions when the dice are rolled and comparing our networks at the end. It's not my favourite game, but I know that every game will leave me happy and satisfied.

0:23 Yes. i paused the video and read the whole thing. Well someone had to...

[@jessewisowaty1227]

Loved the little tangent with Quinns with the animation and close-up hahaha just great!

[@chadrowe2275]

Out of your animation Horrible Guild has added street lights, houses, and mountains with the new kickstarter. We just need flowers, benches, and ducks now to get all of your animations into the game!

[@chadrowe2275]

Love and money troubles might be tougher.

[@MozilloGames]

I've been struggling to chose between this or Welcome To for a gift for someone and I think this has tipped me in the favor of Railroad Ink! I just think the boxes are really nifty.

[@KZsZs]

I would love to see the return of Roland Wright in future episodes. But wait... one of his aliases is Susan Slapdash? ... I have strange Street Master Playthrough flashbacks. Now I have to start twirling my forearms and yell "SUUUUSAAAN!"

[@DisasterArea3]

That image of serial killer Roland Wright is so great, it makes me laugh every time you show that wiki page

[@hair-on-fire]

"Delicious minerables...." lol

[@northlakeghost]

Do the boards wipe off nicely?

[@joshfrantz1263]

I have a friend who calls red ants "spicy boys" so I may have enjoyed your "spicy boy" reference more than most! I was expecting a Pokemon joke about the sapphire blue and ruby red.

[@Lusk1993]

Railroad Ink or Welcome To..? The eternal question!

[@brandonglass7863]

I bought Welcome To after their review and my GF and I have played it so much together we are hoping they sell more pads. We like how simple yet complex it is, this game looks similar in that but I'm glad I have Welcome To. It's really easy to teach and play.

[@WarBandit08]

Generally speaking I prefer Welcome to... but if I'm playing solo I'm more likely to play railroad ink because it has less set up, its literally roll dice and go

[@EHngelic]

"or"? The correct solution is "and". You and everyone around you will be happier for that decision. Wallet won't be too hurt either with the price points

[@hpeters004]

Brandon Glass There’s a Kickstarter finishing soon that includes more pads, new versions of the pads, a game mat and even dry erase versions!

[@joshtaylor6137]

I think they (nvm, got ninja'd)... if I were you, I'd just laminate a few and use dry erase markers. I did that with a few roll n writes.

[@tourguidechuck]

We had quite a bit of table talk when we played. The most often spoken phrase was, "Who rolled this crap?"

[@FinetalPies]

And the name is really clever. I value that

[@UncleMilosSideshow]

“Choo-choosing” I see what you did there, lol

[@mapu1]

Amazing game, stayed up all night playing it after getting it yesterday. 10/10

[@jamescrowder77]

So glad to see this review. I am really interested in this game for the family.

[@whoisbatman]

The game looks so good, but I think I'll wait until Railroad Ink Garnet comes out before I buy it.

Uhm 0:18 Denzel played in a pretty good train movie called Unstoppable. I never expected to like train movies but this one does it for me.

Frankly, I am never going to be able to watch Training Day ever again.

[@basketballbene]

"Can I... have both?"

[@breonstewart-guarino3081]

As far as player interaction goes, I wonder if passing dice to the left or right on the odd-numbered turns would work.

[@Symbioticism]

Production quality you normally don't see outside of well produced tv. Damn.

[@aleksandr3062]

I haven't played yet. I don't quite understand how extensions are used. I have every possible dice, I have a list from the manufacturer about which extensions fit together. Perhaps this is what confuses me. Let's say a two-player game. Do players have to use the same expansion or can each player choose their own? If so, how many extensions can each player use? Can I use two extensions in a solo game?

[@M1st3rB3nn]

This reminds me a tiny bit of Reine Knizia's Labyrinth, the phone game from about 10 years ago.

[@jessewilkin]

Don't get the red one. It's in hell tier

[@ba7ke7]

Matt's t shirt is cracking

[@spuriousevent7332]

And I've now bought a copy. It is a fun challenge!

[@danarossa]

A few days ago I finally had a chance to play this game (I have a blue one) with my friends. The first 2 games were fun and relatively easy. We were all concentrated on our own puzzles but it was pleasant. But then we decided to add BOTH expansions to the game. And that's when my brain started melting. That was painful. At the end we did not even attempt to calculate the points 😂

[@wayner7263]

I believe you only play with 1 expansion at a time. Doing so also removes 1 turn. I bought the Lush Green Edition which adds more things to think about.

[@ichifish]

You really upped the game with the animations.

[@tessamaliepaard557]

I just cannot choose between red and blue :( I am caring for the look at the game as much as the game itself. And both are looking beautiful in their own way. Cries.

[@alexwolfe]

Can you guys please play terra mystica or captain sonar!!! I know you've reviewed them but to see you play them would be amazing!

[@davidsimpson9071]

Just so good.

That's an, uh, interesting picture on the wall there at 5:25...

Good that you brought up the point about player interaction. That is exactly why I did not quite enjoy it that much. It just felt too solitary for me

How can a little one page game, or a simple card game, be way more enjoyable than some BS huge game? I don´t know, but it really can.

Such a good review! Succinct and really funny.

This game is great. Just wait for those Challenge expansion this year

Huh.... this didn’t show up in my notifications for some reason. Only spotted it in my general feed.

The Two-Editions-Pokemon-Trick is probably still effectiv and i still hate it. I would have payed 20€ for this game, but 2x 15€ is stretching it. Also, while not as good looking, i like "Pretty Clever" better.
