Hexagonal Tile-Laying Game Fest

[@petemagnuson7357]

Man, remember when you could be in the same room as someone else? Those were the days.

[@gameswithwaldo]

I know! Remember when SU&SD were stressing out on their podcast because they needed 7-player games for a game night? Hah... *stares into middle distance*

[@SlytherpuffHouse]

But the sound quality was much worse.

[@tahunuva4254]

Nostalgia is now illegal, you are going to thought jail

[@2CrowStudios]

Haven't seen this video therefore I can pretend Paul is back!

[@ElGrandoCaymano]

It's Paul!

[@Shugenjya]

What happened to Paul?

[@MrChrisPietrzak]

@@Shugenjya He left SU&SD to pursue other projects. All amicable, it was just bittersweet to see him leave the show.

[@Meserach]

This is one of my favourite old videos of yours! So many happy moments. Hex shaped bread! Grumplehex!

[@ellisjoel6109]

Instablaster.

[@squared231]

As soon as I started watching this, I was like wait a minute, why is Christmas music playing? Must be a joke. And then I saw two people in a room together without masks and then said to myself, "This is not from 2020"

[@Navets28]

From a simpler time

[@NiLowther]

I'm relatively new to the channel so I just assumed economical hexoganal piece laying festival came after chess month, but then that jump scare. That jump scare of two people within 6 feet.

[@andrewbroeker9819]

Also Quinns has hair.

[@joemacleod-iredale2888]

Keydophile: a game for hex-offenders...

[@Nothing-1w3]

....... *sigh* .... Get out...

[@joemacleod-iredale2888]

Adblock HitHer • 10 years ago I deserve that!

[@rebca_]

Remember, if you've been a naughty child, all you'll get on economic hex-based tile-laying game fest is an almost bankrupt train company.

[@acerumble4991]

"I peed in the corner, you're going to have to clean that up" Think I'm starting to get why Paul moved to Canada

[@MrBfiguero]

I've watched this video over a dozen times since SU&SD first made it. I think this was the point I realized they weren't just making good boardgame critiques but actual art. Don't be a grumple-hex, Paul.

[@darrenkilfara5737]

Don't be such a grumplehex. (Ever.)

[@noahwilson422]

Q: " You're my little wooden pig" P:. " Get off" 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

[@RunekingLordofThunder]

I am loving these reuploads, such a joy to see your older reviews!

[@Drewcalaloo]

I'm 100% a grumplehex!

[@wizzardoffuzz]

We actually always play a hexagonal tile laying game at Christmas. I think you’d like it, it’s called settlers of cattan...

[@bythesea__________________1708]

Sometimes at Night I woke up and thinking about a hexagonal Carcassonne.

[@unterohr]

its nightmare and joy, I feel you bro

[@wizzardoffuzz]

Thank you for reminding me how much I loved the early days of susd. Just incredible.

[@redartifice]

I bought suburbia based on this video all those years ago

[@totallyhuman2074]

i always liked the hexagon shaped games

[@iainawatson]

One of my favourite old videos! I do slightly miss Paul's promotion of gentle Eurogames. Quinns and Matt have an incredible and engaging rapport, but they do clearly share a favourite genre (Social Bluffing Games For Cool Sexy Boys) which leaves me a little cold.

[@giin97]

-1 reputation to have a park next to houses? Isn't that exactly where you would expect and want one? Lol

[@xanfulton]

It's +1 to reputation (square), while it is -1 to *income* (circle)...because more people using the park means it costs more to keep it up! ;-)

[@Daye04]

Surely that phone was old even back in 2013 😝

[@DavidClunie]

I know the creators of Suburbia(and the expansions) and helped beta test the games when in development, and I can say its a great game, even through the playtests, loads of fun, and many ways to play and win! Highly recommend! :D

[@wh4543]

At first I was "is this a really old video?" , no psychosis is just setting in.

[@KindredBrujah]

It is, it's just a new upload.

[@yalborap]

Look I’m gonna level with you guys, I spent a good five seconds wondering which of us was the crazy one when you said it was December. 2020 does things to a person.

[@EricVulgaris]

you havent lived until you play surburbia while listening to the surbubs arcade fire album.

[@justadude5217]

Great idea. I just happen to have the game and The Suburbs on vinyl 😁

[@Lipidman0]

I didn't expect such an emotional response watching you guys break character and laughing constantly. God I miss hanging out with my friends in person.

[@robertschuren7231]

I miss Paul, I hope he is happy wherever he is.

[@IstasPumaNevada]

Suburbia is still my favorite board game.

[@meenki347]

I call Suburbia, Terraforming Mars light.

[@grimreaper0]

Aww it's a reupload...I really thought it was another one.

[@Nezbo]

The CE artwork really did a number for the look and feel of Suburbia

[@Zakalwe-01]

For a fraction of a second....😲😀😐 What an incredible pairing they were.

[@commanderboreal1343]

Grumplehex is such a good word... It’d be a shame if I had unknowingly integrated it into my vocabulary for the last few years without knowing where it came from.

[@Thunk787]

This video opened with an ad for Forgotten Waters, one that includes a quote from Matt no less. KZbin's algorithms are getting scarier by the day.

[@Nezbo]

It is good though 😈

[@AlexBergPlays]

720p! Wohooo!

[@GourmetAcademy]

Robinson Crusoe has cute hexagons, and a lot of misery

[@georginatoland]

And that’s why we love it! ❤️

[@legisnuntius]

3:22 We have a house rule for this game. Each time you place a tile, you have to announce your rationale for urban planning. In this case, the answer could be "Our citizens are too good looking and skinny, so the city council decided to zone for a fast food restaurant that is immediately adjacent to housing." More adjacent housing is necessary because we don't want people walking very far; exercise may make them healthy. With so many unhealthy citizens eating terrible food, your best option is to build a slaughterhouse to keep the population under control etc. I personally put down a slaughterhouse every time I build a retirement community in case they are too far from extra lakes. Casinos are also excellent for being placed next to schools or libraries for obvious reasons.

[@EpicGamerScout]

Heads up, this video and some others aren't embedded on their pages on the website. Had to google to find this one, and some others like the halloween special have different titles which makes that awkward. Also the dexterity special I can't find at all, rip the vimeo backlog :c

[@EuropeanBeerisBad]

“A crime against pleasure” lol

[@Jeddontehweb5]

Hexcellent video chaps

[@LeoStaley]

I have a bit of an obsession with hexagonal tiles, mathematically, geometrically, and in games. Rhombic dodecahedra fill (tile) 3d space, and if you take the cross section of those at the vertices, you can actually find 4 distinct hexagonal tilings at offset angles from each other, as well ad 3 square tilings. I've put together a ton of hexagonal chess variants. I may be getting these just for the hex tiles.

[@Dreamshadow1977]

Ever since i folded origami as a kid, i loved tessellated shapes. Then i cracked open battletech as a thirteen year old, and i was lost to the cult of the hexagon.

[@golgarisoul]

Wait a minute... who is that Paul shaped person??

[@mrdreadful5567]

I saw 2013 and my poor diseased heart was immediately excited for more palatable times. And hexes.

[@gaz2113]

I used to work in the princess pub right behind that lake that you filmed at :) small world

[@alfyb4512]

Ohhhh, I was hoping for a new one! I bought Suburbia thanks to this video! Now you have to make one for 2020, no choice!

[@TraceofHatred]

I always saw those comments of "Seeing paul had me confused before i realized this was an old episode" and thought "how could that occur?" Then I saw Paul and got my hopes up :( Still a great episode though. Miss Paul of course, but glad SUSD is still making great content and rewarding us with these old gems too.

[@gartsur84]

Now I want to play suburbia, but can't find it where I live. Great video

[@zatoichiMiyamoto]

if you live in chile you actually live in the place were i live. congratz.

[@nattiem2849]

Damn I thought Paul was back.... then I saw a younger Quinn’s (he hasn’t agreed that much) and I thought we’re back baby. Then I thought it was a long lost video... then I remembered I’d seen it before.. (or had I ? Thanks matt) it was a re-up.... such an emotional roller coaster. I loved it haha. The video too!

[@WaxDrag]

I almost died at "keydophile"

[@fanciestbanana4653]

1:30 you've been doing rick and morty impression before rick and morty.

[@NoNameAtAll2]

I like how even in old video I already can see all the components that I love in this channel all mixed with awkward pauses and jokes that go for too long I love the way they talk

[@EpiKanga]

Yes, and I regret that their current videos and reviews are much more conventional. This absurd atmosphere is largely missing.

[@DellamorteDellamore0]

This made me want to revisit Suburbia and Trains.

[@DaedalusZM]

Trains is legit great. It's hard to explain and harder to see when you look at it on the table. Something about hand management AND ALSO area control is just the right amount of crunchy. Suburbia makes me sad. Even the app felt like it was just unfun.

[@pintpullinggeek]

Economic Hex-based Tile Laying Game Fest starts earlier and earlier every year.

[@TorIverWilhelmsen]

_Keys to the City: London_ is a "sequel" to Keyflower that in mechanisms is simpler, but the coloured canals you place can be a bit fiddly. And wasn't around in 2013.

[@mkaiww]

5:55 that joke didn't age well

[@avp2survivor]

That is what you think.

[@bennelson270]

Who are these young whipper snappers? Are they old enough to be posting on the KZbins?

[@joshuafetter3831]

Do you guys still rate Archipelago that high?

[@DrMcFly28]

I miss Paul.

[@et4206]

Having this turn up in my feed was like traveling back to a simpler, happier, less orange and choughy time

[@TabulateNewt8]

Yes! Finally my very favourite SUSD video is here on youtube as well. Thanks team SUSD!

[@Solinaru]

I miss Paul. :( I can't believe he hasn't returned from the Bear War of 2018

[@dave0754]

I'm one of the rare people who didn't enjoy Suburbia. Too dry for me, and the catch-up mechanism actually blocked other players from catching up. One of the rare games I sold. I can appreciate that it's a very well designed game though.

[@kiruppert]

I miss Paul.

[@Eidenhoek]

Hey I'm grumplehex. I'm not so grumplehex. Aaaaand we're the hexgrumps!

[@brianjohnson3780]

Just bought the collector's edition and love the game. I played it way back when it came out and always had an itch.

[@quesoblanco444]

Is Suburbia in print? Most online stores in the US seem to be out or have it priced pretty high.

[@박찬우-q5m]

The new collector's edition with nicer art and all the expansions should be priced about 100 quids. It probably made the original OOP.

[@JacobEngelbrechtGollander]

Suburbia and Keyflower are both in my top 5. Blast to the past.

[@z-beeblebrox]

So what was the deal, did SUSD used to be Vimeo only or something?

[@dexdouglas]

Yeah, I think they used to post on Vimeo exclusively because they could be more liberal with the use of trademarked music. Don’t take my word for it, this is an old memory.

[@bankbarcomo806]

Have both these games and enjoy them a lot. I avoided Suburbia for a long time because it looked boring, but it may be top 5.

[@meenki347]

I didn't realize that Paul was such a hooligan. So, the red line represents Paul! But now I understand all the SU&SD ultraviolence. But you forgot to mention the PR firm tile in Suburbia. And how to win if someone else gets it. Thanks lads.

[@JonathanFitt]

I bought Suburbia because of this, and now I want to play it next!

[@dontnormally]

Please do another hex tile focused ep

[@underarmbowlingincidentof1981]

One of the best titles and thumbnails of Shut up & Sit down :P Love it!! Rewatching it for like the 3rd time probably

[@DjigitDaniel]

I can't make out what he's saying in the beginning... "a national holiday powered by ?????..." What's he getting at?

[@박찬우-q5m]

Cluedo?

[@oz_jones]

@@박찬우-q5m Cluedo.

[@commanderboreal1343]

9:59 I love these little scenes where the scene goes on for longer than it should so we see something funny and unscripted while the audio of the next scene already comes in.... I really like it tbh

[@hykathon]

Keyflower is for 2-6 pkayers.

[@explorer47422]

What ever happened to the other guy

[@rafhalimaxd]

I thought Paul was bad for a moment.

[@dirks9816]

Nice freudian slip ;) I doubt it will happen, but i also hope that Paul would add a review or two once in a while.

[@georginatoland]

If Suburbia ever gets good artwork in a future edition, I’ll consider it.

[@martind2520]

Have you seen the collector's edition?

[@unwrittenbook]

That was a weird trip in time....weird yet good!

[@danield679]

So funny! I had to do a doubletake when I saw the thumbnail. It looks like he’s wearing a face colored face mask. Lol 😆

[@IstasPumaNevada]

Theme's important to me in a game, and I actually prefer Suburbia _because_ of its theme. It's the only board game I've yet seen that scratches that SimCity itch. If it was themed around magic and dragons and stuff I wouldn't give it a second look. But as it is... You had me at RCI being green/blue/yellow, Suburbia.

[@RuNacken]

24 people are grumplehexes

[@thebeautifulvideogame1396]

Nah, they just thought Paul was back, for a lovely, lovely, naively, unlikely lovely instant and got upset about it. So I guess they are grumplehexes after all. Carry on.

[@Le_Codex]

"It's December!" Wait... oh that explains the phone

[@engineerbill7140]

It's December!

[@AndiVx]

People, you really need to stop playing games with my heart and tag the videos as old. I always think Paul just came back for a video... :(

[@jasonrhome710]

Looking the game up... Looking the game up... Collector's Edition... $150... Bugger...

[@anthonykuhn3792]

5:43 they predicted Brexit!

[@UndeadPrezUK]

Brhexit you mean.

[@Abhothra]

When this started I was sincerely afraid this would be the "Musical episode"

[@ceetee2001]

Paul! ❤️

[@brentboyer79]

Anyone remember Heroscape. Stackable hexes.

[@juderowe6408]

Its December!?

[@martind2520]

Correct

[@ConManAU]

It’s 2020, who even knows anymore?

[@DukeusMostchillius]

eww..paul..eww Paul "Lakes are shinier to hide the bodies better because they are mirrored" guess we figured out why he moved to canada

[@xanadu1215]

Suburbia. Now selling on Amazon - was: $149.95 Now: $104.75 yipes

[@WaxDrag]

I may have to start doing this. Need a monthly style of board game for every month

[@iand920]

I cant believe it's been 7 years!

[@kevinschultz6091]

But what about the airing of grievances, and the wrestling?

[@paigeherrmann6332]

This was a very surreal to open in the middle of a pandemic in September

[@frankharr9466]

Is Keyforge a part of this? No? O.K. A blast from the past. No wonder North America got him.

[@chadrowe2275]

So has Quinns been taking his medication?

[@FanKiyoshi]

socialism pog

[@wire_hall_medic8470]

Now I want a Fern Gully game where one person plays as Hexxus.
