[@AstromarineCorpse]

Let's play Count The Times Quinns Calls This Undaunted

[@shutupandsitdown]

OH NO

[@adamosborne5000]

Thought it was just me.

[@joep041188]

is it 3 times?

[@TheSludgeMan]

I thought it was a bit.. was waiting for a payoff that never came!

[@mateusz.w.nawrocki]

He blundered on undaunted, not caring the game he reviews and the game he says he's reviewing are unmatched.

[@Perfectlydonebylilac]

This has awakened a desire to see bruce lee punch a velociraptor that I thought i suppressed long ago

[@franklamontagne]

LOL

[@belis35]

😂

[@dogf421]

unfortunately he would probably lose :( but i really want him to win cause it would be cool

[@DerektheDalek]

Robin Hood vs King Arthur vs Sherlock Holmes for the ultimate British Icon? Hell yes. 🇬🇧

[@CheshireCad]

Yes, I'm sure that will be a tense and balanced battle. ...until they release the Miss Marple character pack.

[@dave0754]

Can't wait until they release Bridget Jones

[@ej4672]

Vs Scarlet Pimpernel...?

[@ValkyrieTiara]

And Alice isn't included in this...why?

[@DerektheDalek]

Tiara Azmalan Fair point!

[@SephonDK]

"we can look forward to a buffy the vampire box" apparently im still 16 because that missing word made me chuckle.

[@UtopiaV1]

5:00 He calls it Undaunted... twice It's like your lover yelling someone else's name in bed. A bit off-putting, but if they're sexy then you can forgive them.

[@13ane]

Wow the simple black shading/wash/dip on the grey plastic makes them look so much more detailed than the regular grey plastic on other games. Maybe I should go dip all my blood rage figures lol.

[@CoronaMobius]

I'm concerned and intrigued by strip Ethnos.

[@Revellated]

I'm concerned about your name

[@CoronaMobius]

@@Revellated... Ah beans.

[@SomewhatAwesomeGames]

With Ellie vs T-Rex coming out after this might just end up being a good Jurassic Park fighter.

[@CharacterDesignForge]

Wow this looks so fun and stylish, I hope they could possibly get the Star Wars IP back into it

[@VorpalSlade]

Bloody doubt it with the shackles of Disney around it haha

[@FosukeLordOfError]

I wonder if anyone has done conversion rules for epic duels. As someone who has epic duels I’ll probably be doing that if I don’t find one

[@davidsimpson9071]

The minis look so nice I wouldn’t even want to paint them!

[@darthmuadib7237]

Hahaha...said no model painter...Ever. Mini painters wanna paint everything from these minis to Mice and Mystics minis. Minis need painting...😊😊

[@AhJong0]

Great stuff, this feels like a perfect game for a SU&SD play through with it’s speed and simplicity.

[@ryanb6503]

"Buffy the vampire" *typing sounds intensify* Get down, the commenters are coming!

[@MyMiniMovieMagic]

Absolutely loved Star Wars Epic Duels...that game got us hooked in Highschool around 2002 and our boardgame group continues to play any chance we got when home from college and finally died out around 2013. That's one hell of a run. The most fun comes from creating your own customer character and custom decks. And yes....this art is wonderful.

[@MyOwnNameWasTaken]

Some people satisfy themselves with "#1 Dad," but Quinns will settle for nothing less than "Total Fox." Cleanliness of eroticism: Yes.

[@greysky1252]

Other board game reviewers: *puts cards in sleeves* Shut Up and Sit Down: *pours popcorn into board game*

[@MattCrawley_Music]

At least he didn’t smash it with a mallet like dice tower do

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

This game is HELLISHLY fun to homebrew stuff four. Me and a few friends have homebrewed everyone from The Doctor to various Warhammer characters we had to hand, to loads of other creations.

[@Eliza-hb1nc]

of course quinns says amongus when i'm reading this

[@barryhale9364]

A Doom Marine add-on for this would be hilarious.

[@GoodRogue]

RIP AND TEAR!

[@3LANCER]

Oh now that's just unfair. I want it.

[@FosukeLordOfError]

Star Wars epic duels is one of my favorite games it looks awesome that they are modernizing the rules. This is now on my want list.

[@paultapping9510]

Umm.. thanks to Ray Harryhausen I absolutely do know and love Sinbad!

[@TorIverWilhelmsen]

New video reviews from SU&SD and NPI on the same day? I must have an extra birthday I did not know about with such gifts.

[@MozilloGames]

The premise of this game sounds a lot like a game called Dungeon Mayhem, with art by the wonderful Kyle Ferrin, except with an area movement mechanic to add that little extra it may have been missing! Also, oh boy, the art on these cards are incredible!

[@xanadu1215]

I will support them. WOW Raptors is $10.97 for shipping. Being released late march and will have July 7th. Thank you.

[@matthew.strout]

You called it undaunted

[@meccanised]

and cobble and smog

[@pinksnake7584]

while I was thinking of Undaunted: Normandy

[@johnk7178]

He did it multiple times. It’s awesome

[@eckoschreiber]

1:34 "Cobble and SMOG", an ec(k)ocritically freudian slip! Great review, love it;o)

[@NoPunIncluded]

Total Fox? I used to dance under that name.

[@pendrag2k]

There's a 50% chance I want to see that video.

[@nicholascamarata8883]

Here I thought you danced under "Dirt Tornado." You're a man of many hats, Efka.

[@christopherfloody5555]

@@nicholascamarata8883 it could be Elaine. But we all know its Efka.

[@jameswoodard4304]

As I was born and raised in the part of the world in which the mighty Jackalope is a thing, I was going to be very concerned for about two minutes when the camera hovered over a large, hairy, man-monster with a card under it that said "Jackalope." My brain said, "That's not what a Jackalope looks like!" (Because of course I've seen one) Then I realized that our be-antlered hare friend was actually Bigfoot's sidekick in the game. My impression went from, "WTH?!" to "That is an amazing idea and I love it!" My only concern is with the potential dissonance due to the fact that the Jackalope is being paired with a clearly fictional character. If you can get past that, though, this sounds great.

[@simonsmith8742]

I love the tension when Quinns puts his tea atop the game boxes........so calm and nonchalant. What a rockstar!!

[@LOLFriday]

This game has been such a great addition to our shelf. Can't wait for the first Jurrassic Parks set.

[@anthonywestbrook2155]

I loved Epic Duels. We played it so much that we started making our own characters, but they were never very balanced. We made: Link and Zelda, Solid Snake and (cardboard box was op), and a necromancer with his skeletal archers.

[@noodlemans]

Anthony Westbrook there are expansions online. They are unofficial of course but playtested well and balanced.

[@berliona5232]

5:01 He keeps calling it undaunted! (From the review of Undaunted normandy?) ha

[@chrishartley4318]

I'm now obsessed by 'Strip Ethnos'! I once played Strip Pass The Pigs after a student Rocky Horror party but thought extreme age and Brass had cured me of such perversions. It seems not!

[@Keindzjim]

The assymetric characters and the artwork reminds me of Disney villainous

[@dominicm6144]

Thanks for the video! I have a few sets now... Ok, I have to. Cobble and 'Smog'? 1:42 take 1 damage? 3:10 'Undaunted'? 4:34 gamer's brain happening here! Too funny!.. Or perhaps a bit of oxygen deprivation..? I'm thoroughly enjoying this game. I have 3 sets. Question for the channel - I love rpg board games and the depth they offer, like gloomhaven. But I hate magic and I don't even want to see any. What options do I have for rpg boardgames? Thanks again for the content!

[@chrisx1138]

4:37 and 5:00- Undaunted?

[@ruudhermans4998]

I had to rewind to be sure, but it looks like they have mixed and matched their reviews 😅

[@Dreadnote-pf7of]

Chris X you know... flashbacks :)

[@amesaeotrono]

That was the video that sealed the "before the lockdown" part of 2020, I presume...

[@cjpgconman]

Epic... Epic DUELS!!?! My favorite half strategy/half chance killing romp game from my childhood??! TAKE MY MONEY!

[@ferchiongo]

Thank you! The next time I play Unmatched I will tke a chance and use the game box as a popcorn bowl

[@willgaines8575]

I 1000% agree that this game is not as clever as it initially seems My friends and I have fallen in love with it lately, and part of what we love is the fundamentally silly nature of it's premise. We recently played a 5 way game (yes I know it's not strictly in the rules don't @ me) of Raptors vs Achilles vs Yennenga vs Sherlock Holmes vs The Invisible Man. It makes no sense, and despite there being 1 raptor with 2 health left before anyone died, he came second by ducking and weaving If you haven't tried it yet, while this game is good 1v1, we have found in 3 and 4 way games is where it most shines!

[@preyo6511]

"Had to figure out that age with a website" is way too real for me. 36 btw, who knew?

[@Stomski]

The Bruce Lee scene in OUATIH was Cliff's fantasy, not an actual representation of Tarantino's view of the man. He was actually busy fixing the aerial.

[@stevegold8070]

Thanks for another great and funny video. Like in 7:08 "you can play with idiots or kids or idiot kids" 😂 Next Unmatched box I would like to see Iron Man vs. Shreck or Flash vs. Alien. I would buy these right away.

[@mgaka47]

I get a lot of my dragon V Spider-Man type buzz fulfilled with dice masters but this could be interesting

[@sigurdbjohansson]

Hope they release a Chuck Norris box. And of course, Jackie Chan :D

[@drago939393]

So what would you recommend as a involved 2-player fighting game with a richer experience?

[@philipjohnson935]

Undaunted is a lot deeper, but its historical theme

[@goodsound4756]

Battle Con „War of Indines“ or so

[@willhart2188]

Calico looks like a fun game to buy, since I like cats.

[@Starshorts1234]

Unmatched or Super Fantasy Brawl?

[@dionisisstefanitsis6497]

Excellent and funny review as always! Have you tried the 2v2 mode? Is it good? I am desperatelly looking for a good 2v2 game.

[@leftwingdragon6235]

7:08 you can see the overhead boom mike

[@jbftcmof]

How the heck did this game rank so highly on the cleanliness of eroticism scale?!

[@PerpetualSushi]

I'm sold. my wallet is not if the expansions keep coming and i really love it

[@BLasherman]

150 board games in your collection? Amateur

[@tomd2666]

Came for the review, stayed to watch Quinn waste his gliss powder.

[@Babunar]

Kind of reminds me of a very very lightweight HeroScape?

[@SaucyLiving]

Puts a tear to my eye seeing someone mention HeroScape. I thought this game looked similar too

[@Cyanicide]

Found it way too simple personally, but good gateway game for sure. I'd say most of Level 99's or Sirlin Games' catalogue are good for cheap duelling games, or KS behemoths like Mythic Battles or TMNT for big mini ones.

[@kaleidoslug7777]

The art in this game is incredible

[@darrenbelcher6121]

Totally thought that was a "Willy Fighting" card there...

[@seanlewandowski8395]

Undaunted... Freudian slip lol. This game looks cool and certainly BEAUtiful. I've also got undaunted on the way and should be playing it in the next week. Thank you for all you do. My wallet does not thank you however... Or my wife lol.

[@DudeBronkster]

In comparison to the art on the cards, the boards look like absolute ass though. And what bothers me most about that is not the lack of aesthetic quality itself, but the inconsistency. I think investing in a better design there would've paid off. As someone who has bought stuff just for its art before, I would never consider buying this for that reason alone since half of what makes up the game is subpar.

[@Yesnog05]

You guys have GOT to try Rival Restaurants!

[@OrcDragon65]

My Copy of epic duels is in such old condition, I'd love a reprint

[@remconet]

1:25 I agree that the art is beautiful. Sadly the boards itself could be a bit more detailed to be honest. The placement rounds are way too big (even for the miniatures) and take away from the art on the board.

[@panwall1327]

I swore I walked into Numberwang at the end there

[@Osborne4Life]

This seems like Smash Bros the boardgame.

[@taykey17]

I love smash and i love unmatched.

[@dasaxman1]

Huh, Quins only has 150 games. Join me in the 200 club Quins. We have too little storage and more games than we can ever hope to play.

[@oggedask]

Is this game worth getting for 2v2?

[@axlphishm6943]

I still have star wars epic duels, i really want this , i just wish u didnt only get 4 guys from the base pack then the expamsions are expensive

[@vaeleksk8252]

Fun review I bet Skulk Hollow is a meatier 1v1 game.

[@anthonywestbrook2155]

I already own everything I can from this game. Now please tell me how I can buy that fun chart at 15:24.

[@davidtuti1]

Thanks for your review! Unmatched or Funkoverse???

[@jsk8]

You have plus one link?

[@Mcleody9]

Funkoverse trumps this for me. Never thought id see batman get his ass handed to him by a sultry Golden Girl.

[@fy8798]

Gotta love the objective review segment!

[@koshi6505]

I kind of want a series of Unmatched (champions?) pulling from popular modern xianxia novels.

[@TrevanHaskell]

Hope you get a chance to check out Video Vortex as well!

[@nilus2k]

You had me at Star WArs Epic duels

[@GdyNieGramyNagrywamy]

Bought

[@giwrgosgkolfis4028]

unmatched vs dice throne?

[@aaronfirewing9196]

How is Agricola a section on the fun wheel? :D

[@jameshowlett1546]

How does this compare with the funkoverse games? Do they have anything else in common besides 'world's colliding'?

[@RagnarTheGrey]

I desire the bruce lee set just for the mini.

[@Nick_Whiskey]

how come agricola is a stat for fun

[@precariousplays9469]

Buffy... "The Vampire"? Uh-oh, Shut Up & Sit Down's irreverent comic stylings have left me uncertain: Mistake or joke? It's genius! Years of goofs have created the ultimate smokescreen!

[@davidmckee8912]

This time it's for real. Buffy incoming.

[@chiplundsmark5936]

Wasn't really interested until you said it was based on the epic duels game. Which i loved but lost pieces to in my youth. Now I'm not sure if I should try this or funkoverse.

[@anakon]

Depends on what you like, Funkoverse has interesting mechanics and more cartoonish characters, Unmatched art is a privilage to look at and the fighters are more historical/horror

[@jamiehemming9883]

And Funkoverse is more of a dice chucker.

[@rockxhero]

Wow, I think your scoring just about says it!

[@DragoonBoom]

"Had to figure out age using a website" haha same

[@jeremylowe7029]

Ok, still wondering about that tat quinns. Astrologian?

[@fundude365]

Have I missed something? Everything seems to be 5/10 bucks more expensive than Quins has suggested?

[@luigiscazzari4724]

This engineer approves the data dump

[@jschildress1]

That's numberwang!

[@Messengus]

Saying Buffy the Vampire and Cobble and Smog when both are clearly named differently back-to-back made me think you were doing a bit.

[@RoadDeerGames]

He calls it undaunted! Where is that game? It sounds cool

[@ilneozelandese]

Modern games like this should have a built in surrender rule!

[@KinnArchimedes]

Just house rule it in.

[@thecaryou]

How does a bus only do 10 damage?

[@narsil0420]

The card combo they referenced can do 10 I believe :)

[@Showsni]

Imagine living in a world where game reviews weren't purely objective.

[@chandra7587]

Twilight Imperium annual gameplay please :D

[@SamiPaju]

Hehehe you keep calling the game Undaunted. Could turn this into a drinking game!

[@jacob_eleventh138]

I have a question for Su&sd. You still haven't made a video about briliant and cheap strategic game, Neuroshima Hex 3.0!!!, have you? 😏😏😏

[@DeepFriedDave]

I just played this game Unmatched Legends Vol. 1 for the first time today with my friend. neither she nor I liked it. It just felt very "meh" and unexciting. no real deep strategy or tactics. And you can lose in really cheesy ways. For example, if your are a ranged unit, and your friend is a melee unit, you can easily exhaust them, causing them to lose two health every time they need to maneuver until they die. It felt unbalanced, kind of broken, and not mentally very deep and you're basically at the mercy of random card draws and over powered characters. I am selling my copy after just two plays.

[@wawingnut1]
