[@jakemashburn6436]

Speaking of long intros and movies, my favorite is Once Upon A Time in the West. The opening scene is so classic and builds a great atmosphere.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Ohhhh i haven't seen it, cheeers for the rec Jake!!

[@SClarkPharmD]

My favorite movie is WALL-E. I thought it would be a silly robot movie but it surprised me with the theme of a new beginning and the relationship between the robots WALL-E and EVE.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Awww wonderful movie pick, SClark!!!

[@shreyinspace]

Yes! RoBoT-rick! This game is so good, it has the potential to be one of my favorite trick takers. You did a great job explaining your thoughts. I hope someone picks the game up for wider distribution. Also, you should have asked rick if it was safe. Although robot dentistry is hazardous.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Cheeers Shrey!! Yes it totally is! I hope it gets more plays soon! What a wonderful game! And I shoulda asked!! hahaa!

[@andrewjones4612]

I feel like I have to say The Usual Suspects. You've carried me happily away to the 90's; such a great movie. classic.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Hahaa nice pick up and movie pick, Andrew!!

[@ezRAez10]

RoBoTrick sold out at Tricky Imports! Clearly, your vids are helping the community - thanks for your vids!! Favorite movie is probably Mother (Bong Joon-Ho, not Aronofsky)

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Oh that's so awesome to hear!! Thanks ez!! I heard he should get more soon, so here's hoping! Thanks for the kind words!!! And lovely movie pick! Joon-Ho is a visionary!!

[@nfirehazzard1]

Great video as always Taylor! One of my all time favorite movies is 50 First Dates! It's just the right amount of cheesiness and hopeless romantics. *swoon*

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

AHHHH Thanks so much, Kay!!!! And such a great pick!! I recently watched it for the first time since it came out and it was a blast!!

[@GustavoSouzaLopes]

My favorite movie is Interstellar. Since it was released, I watch it every year, usually on my birthday

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Such a wonderful pick, Gustavo!! Go TARS!

[@communis_]

Hilarious intro, Taylor, thanks for the laughs. My favorite movie has to be Alien 👾

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Thanks so much!!!! And wonderful pick!! ALIEN IS AMAZING

[@abodi1]

My favourite movie is likely "The Prestige" great video as usual

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Love that pick!!! And thanks for the kind words, abodi!!!

[@sirideain]

Fifth Element is a great movie to rewatch.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Ohhhh, i still need to first watch that one! Great pick, Sirideain!

[@NikolajLepka]

Fave movie: definitely back to the future along with its sequels!

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Oh nice call, Nikolaj!

[@luisperdomo4873]

My favorite movie is a classic from my country, Brazil, called "O Auto da Compadecida", it was renamed in English as "A Dog's Will" (it's not a literal translation, but it would be very hard to translate that into English, it's a pretty regional name, so this alternative makes sense given the context of the movie). I don't know how they translated the whole movie because the expressions are very regional dependent, but it's a funny movie about two poor guys who constantly trick people to survive in a poor region of my country. (The description is extra simplified to not give spoilers).

[@luisperdomo4873]

Congrats on 2255 subscribers!

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Thanks so much Luis!! And cheeers for the recommendation!! I haven't heard of that one, and it sounds amazing!!

[@SgtFuzzles]

I only found your vids today! Very good. Favorite movie, Lego Batman 😂

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

How fun!! Welcome Sgt!! And love Lego Batman, great pick!!!

[@BottomShelfBG]

My favorite movie is whatever unhinged fever dream I watched at the beginning of this video. Second favorite movie is Yi Yi

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Hahaaaa cheer, Alex!! I really wanna see Yi Yi!! Excited to hear it's your fav!!

[@chadjacobson2679]

So glad to have found your channel in the last few months. Although I really like Blade Runner a lot, I love Paul Thomas Andersen. So my favorite movie is either Boogie Nights or There Will Be Blood.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Thanks so much for the kind words, Chad!! Cheers for watching!! And amazing movie picks! I love PTA!

[@Denali17x]

Favorite movie is Shawshank redemption! Who feel honored to have Rick come to my home

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Wonderful pick, Denali! Such a powerful movie!!

[@hecatesson]

Since we are talking about a robot game, my favorite robot movie is Short Circuit, Johnny Five is alive 🤖. Taylor, thank you for the videos. Trick Taking games are fun, and your videos always have me trying to find those next best games to add to my collection. Welcome back!

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Amazing pics, Hecat!!! Love the theme to it too!! And cheers for the kind words! It means so much to read and hear that the videos are fun, if a bit wacky hahaa! Thanks so much!!

[@allison2525]

This was a great video. Loved the intro! The game looks fun! Favorite movie would be Happy Gilmore.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Thanks so much, Allison!! And awesome movie pick! Ben stiller is hilarious in that one!

[@debbieleung7388]

My favourite movie is Casablanca and your intros are only getting better as time goes on!

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Ahhhh soooo good! One of mine too!!

[@haze3880]

Great intro! This is a pretty neat game, it makes the low cards just as important as high cards, without having to give them any special powers or rules. And my favorite movie is Speed Racer!

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Thanks a million, Haze!!!! And awesome pick! I remember Erin Hanson loving it a lot back in the day and it got me to check it out!! Rad stuff!!!

[@chriswoosley4525]

the candy cigs were a fantastic touch.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Thanks so much, Chris!!! I'm down to a pack a day!

[@jonathanbarron9419]

I'm excited for this one

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Right?! Me too, Jon!!

[@penguinlover71]

Favourite movie! As much as I talk about westerns, my favourite is definitely The Bridge on the River Kwai. David Lean is a master.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Ohhhh wonderful pick, Penguin Lover!! Lean is so rad! I tried to do the matchstick blow out cut in a video once haha!

[@CANAS1AN]

the seal malfunctioning at 21:45 was amusing xD

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Hehehheee cheeers!

[@shaunwong7572]

New subscriber here. Your channel has been an amazing resource to learn how to play the games. My fav movie is Memento by Chris Nolan! A mind-bending movie, just like how mind-bending trick takers can be 😊

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

That's so awesome to hear, Shaun!! Thanks so much for subscribing!! And awesome movie pic!!

[@jimgrant9081]

Hilarious - and a great review! Favorite movie might be Miller's Crossing.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Thanks a million, Jim!! And great movie pick!!

[@MinatoAri]

Wow, every video always makes me yearn for more trick takers... My favorite movie is Back to the Future: Part II; Great sequel by building on the original, and is always a great time! Plus it has RoBoTs!!

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Ahhhhh awesome pick Wobbuffet!! And great username!!

[@mintfalcon]

Great video, very interesting how it plays. This looks great for us. Garden State is a great movie.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Thanks for the kind words, Mint!! And awesome pick! GS introduced me, and many others i bet, to the shins! Such a great band!

[@mintfalcon]

@@ClaudeAndTaylor same here the soundtrack is also so good!

[@SteveMeeple]

Welcome back! Glad to see you back making videos. My favorite movie is White Christmas. I love the music. I love the jokes. I also have a ton of good memories set around White Christmas. Looks like an interesting game.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Awww what a wonderful pick, steve! Hope you had a white Christmas!

[@GavinBowmanAN]

I’ve always loved Meet the Feebles. Such an interesting foray into what puppets can, but shouldn’t, do.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Ohhh never heard of this, thanks Gavin!! Love a new rec, cheeers!!!

[@danielhughart7971]

Thanks for the video, I hope you enjoyed the time away. I'm very impressed with how RoBoTrick captures so much of the feeling of a 4 handed trick taker in a 3 player game. My favorite movie is Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Amazing movie pick Daniel!! And yes, it's so good at the 4 player feel!!

[@garrettelkins1585]

Thanks, as always for these excellent videos! I've found so many games from you, and now Tricky Imports!!! My favorite movie is Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It's the first movie I ever remember growing up as a kid. I even have the original cover tattooed on my leg!

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Cheeers, Garrett!! Hahaa glad i can help! And awesome pick! That movie scares me so much hahaa!

[@pastorblake76]

Great video, as always. Really enjoyed playing with you and Ty last week. Thank you again. Favorite move is The Princess Bride! But don’t forget to check out Dead Again!

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Blake!!! Such a wonderful time playing games with you and Ty! Here's to Vegas!!

[@PeterHaggard]

That was a fun intro! My favorite movie is Jurassic Park.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Thanks for the kind words, Peter!!! Ahh i love JP!

[@PTH777]

Had my eye on this one for a while. I wonder if it could be adapted to have two robots for 2 player. My favorite movie is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It literally changed my outlook on so many aspects of life.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Do i have good news for you in the next video... ;)

[@f3l1nt0]

Great video! Really interesting trick-tracking with all the rick',s mechanic My favorite movie is Memento by Christopher Nolan. The movie is so good that I wish I could forget it all and rewatch it many times!

[@jakubgawlas9558]

2 player home-variant works very well for us - deal 15 cards each and play 15 tricks, 4 cards (instead 3) gain positive points. Additionally, the game is very easy to proxy, just use standard cards deck and randomize AI actions - there are 2 types of actions (high/low, long/short), primary and secondary action for the given column must be different.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Ohhh rad to hear, Jakub!! I'll have to try that 2p version soon!! Cheeers!

[@DaveBendit]

Conan the Barbarian! It's not good, but I love it. Just played Sail for the first time tonight - got it based on your review video months ago, and glad I did! Thanks so much!

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Thanks soooo much, Dave!! Awesome pick with Conan! I always wanted to try that Conan game, it looks rad! And I'm so glad you liked Sail!

[@jonathandclark]

I’m a huge fan of Miller’s Crossing and it’s my reflexive answer for Favorite Film. It’s got comedy, it’s got intrigue, it’s hard boiled and had such a great use of language. Sadly in this context, there are no robots. Or Ricks.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Woahhh, i haven't heard of this one, cheeers Jonathan!!

[@thisissostupid61]

Nice, I saw this being played at cloud cap and was super curious.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Yessss it's sooo good!!

[@veedeviceable]

Thanks for another great video and giveaway! My favorite movie is Sherman's March--a weird documentary that evolves as it goes. The main character may even be a robot or a Rick, who knows?

[@maxfaf259]

Ohh! I love this "Rick" mechanic! My trick taking game group is a 3 players group, so this game would fit just perfectly! :) My favorite movie, I would say Lord of the rings - The fellowship of the ring.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Great to hear, Max!! Also, remember this comment for the future!!

[@jakepez11]

Django Unchained. This intro is just brilliant. Had me laughing hard!

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Heyyy thanks so much, Jake!!! And awesome pick on movie!! That intro scene in Django is some of the most tense ever!

[@ludwigmises]

Key & Peele did a spoof of “The Usual Suspects” too. Highly recommend.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Oh cheers for the rec!!! I'll check it out now!!

[@ludwigmises]

@@ClaudeAndTaylor “His name was Cat Branchman..”

[@pacnwnudist]

Looks like a really good game. Right now Haggis or Bottle Imp is what we play at 3, so this would be a fun alternative. Favorite movie? Let's go with Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Oh great pick with Monty Python!!

[@j12601]

Oh Robot Rick, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Incidentally, my favorite movie is Serenity.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Right?!? Classic RR! He's a scoundrel!! And Awesome movie pick of Serenity!!

[@darinvg]

Thanks for the video! Favorite movie: John Wick.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Thanks so much, Darin!! And John Wick is soooo good!

[@saint1930]

Favorite movie is such a difficult one! Having a difficult time picking between iRobot, Bicentennial Man, and Robocop… Kidding aside, I would probably go with How to Train Your Dragon (weirdly enough).

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Loooove the theme! Made me crack up! Cheers, Saint!

[@jotaf98]

Such a well integrated AI! Almost makes me wish that The Crew's Jarvis (dummy player for 2) had more "agency", and players had to follow its lead sometimes. My favourite movie has to be Interstellar, it's as grand and grounded and emotional as the best sci-fi books of all time. It's so complete that there is a whole rock band that has 2 amazing albums based on Interstellar, and coincidentally it's called TARS -- the robot (not Rick!) configured for 90% of honesty.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Oh totally! Thwbai is so good! And such a great movie pick, jotaf!!

[@justinmercer6822]

Love your vids Taylor! Forest Gump is my favorite.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Cheers Justin!! Lovely pick!!

[@gnawk5269]

I kind of like having this strict player count design. Don’t really have a favorite movie but probably Spirited Away.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Yes, I totally love the strict count!! And Spirited Away is amazing!!! Great pick!!

[@brian8972]

Hmmm. Favorite is probably Rogue One. BUT when I was a wee lad, it was Beauty and the Beast. No idea how many times I’ve seen it but a bunch a bunch.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Love the pick! Beauty and the Beast was a family favourite!!

[@erniedarby1885]

Honestly my favorite movie is Sister Act!

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Love that pick, Ernie!!

[@bcurell]

7th Voyage of Sinbad (my favorite movie) !!!

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Ohhh interesting!! I'll check it out, cheers bcurell!

[@angelocuratolo1891]

Helloooo, my favorite movie is Broadway Danny Rose of course.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Oooo fun pick, Angelo!!

[@HenryRSeymour]

My favorite movie is Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Ooo sensational pick, Henry!

[@christianbank393]

a guilty pleasure favorite movie of mine is Julie & Julia

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Niceeee!! I still need to see that one! Cheeers, Christian!!

[@LudwigAustin]

I am so with you about usual "dummy" hands.. that it's usual SO SO SO contrived and annoying.. ( Like Dirk in Alhambra?) -- I do love Chronicle though.. and maybe I am just not noticing.. but how is this Ghosts of Xmas? ( which I love ) -- and I like EXACTLY 3 -- anywho.. I don't know if this is a must buy but this is very cool .. and my God perhaps the BEST intro ever??? Especially your sad accused guy's hair-- which miraculously he finally fixes when he's running away and saying " BYE! BYE NOW!" HAHAHAHAHAHAH

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Hahahaaaa thanks so much for the kind words, PK!! It was such a fun intro to film!!

[@waterfallgamespod]

intro should be submitted to sundance on god

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

AHHHH TOO KIND!!!

[@jackjohn810]

The Princess Bride!!!!!

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Inconceivable!

[@thomazcunha1338]

The Two Towers

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Remember this in a year!

[@DoppelgangerF02]

My fave movie is probaaaably ex machina. Absolute Scii Fi banger. Horror wise I'd sayyy Empty Man. Action wise I'd sayyy The Raid 2. Comedy id sayyy Airplane?? Maybe?

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Ex machinaaaaa!! It cranks so much! That and annihilation!! And airplane is sooo good! Off to try and catch the raid 2 now!

[@LudwigAustin]

My fave movie is Amadeus :)

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Awesome pick, PK,!

[@joerobert7847]

Remember the Titans. Is it a Movie or is it an upcoming board game or is it a Greek God?

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Hahaa all 3!!

[@luckilukey]

Welcome back, Taylor! Good riddance, Trick! My favorite movie is The Third Man. Orson Welles at his best, fantastic zither music, and disorienting camera angles.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Hahaha cheeers, Luckilukey!! Totally, smell ya later, Trick! And wonderful pick!! I love me some Welles!!

[@scuba92186]

You didn't take a breal from working on the channel at all! What was this, like a 23 or 24 day shoot?

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Hahahaa too true! The barely break indeed! This was a brutal shoot, but worth it for working with such an amazing cast and crew 😉

[@ashwinkamath4598]

isn't it Droco Uroco or is Dracco now cannon?

[@ashwinkamath4598]

I just purchased a copy of RoBoTrick so I don't want to be considered for the giveaway, but my favorite movies are typically anything with Will Smith in them, like iRobot or Wild Wild West

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Great movie picks!!!

[@cranzini]

Great video. My favorite movie is Willy Wonka

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Thanks so much for the kind words!! And wonderful pick! I hope the new wonka movie is good!

[@robscarpelli]

Well in keeping with the theme how about RoboCop?

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Sensational bit!!

[@EliteBeast]

Survive Style 5+

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Oh great pick!

[@antoniogg1986]

My favorite movie is Cidade de Deus

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Amazing pick, Antonio!!

[@sparkybunzz]

i see the pig

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Heeheheeee

[@ZeroTSONG]

Casablanca

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

One of my favourites!

[@flickingbollocks5542]

What is this?

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Who knows!

[@flickingbollocks5542]

​@@ClaudeAndTaylorBen Hur

[@randallbarnes3488]

My favorite move is Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter. It has Jesus teaming up with Mary Magnum and luchador wrestler El Saintos to fight off a bunch of vampires who can survive in the day because they grafted the skin from lesbians. There's Kung-fu action, a musical number, and Jesus kills someone with a toilet plunger!

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Hahahaaa I've never heard of this movie, but that sounds absolutely wild!!! Thanks for the heads-up, Randal!!
