[@chain-wallet]

this is unequivocally the best SU&SD. liberal use of puns, excessive use of eye liner, a man cleaning his chair in the shower. this is why the internet exists. an epic RAview!

[@jamesbloom1439]

I see no reason every episode can't feature this much eyeliner.

[@rachelandryan]

My favs are Letters From Whitechapel, Tales of the Arabian Nights, and Descent.

[@diSTUD013]

"You're all the dealer, you're all playing, and you're all broke"... I think I want to play this game!

[@artemeremin]

Actually laughed out loud at work when he described the crime tiles! Well done!

[@DeyaViews]

The first time I played Ra, a friend of mine was the only one left in the second epoch. There was only one Ra tile remaining. They filled up the ENTIRE track, one by one, with tiles. The rest of us kept chanting "Ra! Ra! Ra!" but Ra NEVER came! They got all the tiles for cheap! It was amazing.

[@lagautmd]

The very best thing about Ra's auctions are they are asymmetrical. A tile set on offer may be tremendously valuable for one player and useless for another. Taking advantage of that when it's your turn is one of the great gambits in the game.

[@AlexisOceanaP]

I'm just so upset with how good Quinns' eyeliner game is

[@CompressionPolice]

Just realizing that what Quins did at 10:17 was actually really skillful

[@artstsym]

I have seen players "shoot the moon" in that way multiple times in Ra, and every time it's hilarious because it's a direct result of the bystander effect: "oh man, he's got 3 tiles left, someone has to stop him!" 'Well, I'm not calling an auction on two pharaohs and a civilization with a 10, you do it!' Classic

[@PaulLaPorteJr]

Mercy me those legs at 4:47

[@metallsnubben]

pleasura

[@estherchung82]

I swear that Quinns hitched up his boxer legs higher for this shot... Not sure what he was after, strangely enough, like it >.

[@PaulLaPorteJr]

You assume Quinns wears underpants.

[@fmoros]

I sincerely apologize for watching this 4 years late.

[@TinyPirate]

One of my absolute favorites. Had about three different "Eureka!" moments as I learned this game and saw how the systems linked up. Perfect.

[@thomaspierick570]

I watched your video about talking to the students and how you were in a bad mood while making this one. However I bought this game because of this review. So I hope that makes you feel good.

[@srenkierkegaard4267]

Which video was that?

[@HurryRavn]

@@srenkierkegaard4267 this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZ-ziGuolpqhnqs

[@torenielsen9993]

"Awwight, epoch's over! Everybody out of the pool!"

[@JevousGaming]

I lost it!

[@Tensen01]

I realize they're Dung Beetles, but at least call them Scarabs

[@savethefunk]

RAMANSPREADING QUINN!!! You do look fantastic in this outfit, and this new edition does look equally fantastic.

[@Jessie_Helms]

Once in Catan I had an ore port and had 3 cities built on an ore tile, and another city built on the same number for wheat. I went from like 3 cards to 10 and cashed it all out through my ports to get what I needed to win, it was great.

[@kevindunne367]

Never thought I'd see what is saw at 4:47

[@Roxfox]

Ah, but you were familiar with the ancient Canadian tradition of washing your chairs with shampoo from before?

[@chain-wallet]

so thats what manspreading is

[@DrMcFly28]

Agreed. 4, 5, 10 and 11 while three flood tiles are in the pot, one turn before the epoch ends? Incredible!

[@supersilverjnr9683]

I absolutely love your reviews! at 95% of my board game purchases are from your reviews. It brings attention to games I, would of never thought of to look at. Me and my 3 brothers play a board game every week and I think is going to be this week's one. Keep up the great work!

[@johnr8095]

I think it's probably my favorite auction game. The push your luck element is so tension inducing. It has the perfect blend of luck and strategy and it really seems like a game show that's exciting to watch even if you are out of the round yourself. When you are the only person left and are trying to push your luck while not drawing ra tiles people around the table are chanting "ra, ra, ra," hoping that you draw that tile that ends your round. The only thing I would say about this new version is thst the older version looked better. I like the board, but some of the tiles are very hard to make out (like the Nile tiles) in the new version. I wish they just kept the old look, and maybe changed the colors of the components.

[@AdrianvanNunen]

Quinns as Eddie Izzard as Tutankhamen. I like it. This edition looks fantastic (so does the game). Great review :)

I came here in the comments exactly to see if anyone sees Quinns resembling Eddie Izzard, in this video. :))

[@psbauman]

Looking RAvishing in that outfi... ok I'll see myself out now.

[@dancingfishfilms]

comedy on point this episode my man

[@markcardenas8843]

Such an amazing review, specially when one game i love and enjoy is not being trashed... *sobs*

[@uberfionn]

A new SUASD? Praise the Sun...god.

[@VyralOfficial]

I just absolutely love this review

[@georginatoland]

I passed on this version of the game and bought the dice game version. It has become one of our favorite super-casual games to take on vacation.

[@terryyaki3936]

2:24 You're playing with the big boys now

[@philipthonemann2524]

ExtRAordinarily entertaining stuff! Brilliant, inventive, witty, informative - real star quality! Many thanks. Now, is the game still available…? (Some hours later: No. 😥)

[@leeclements323]

Such a funny review Quinn. You lads are hilarious! Great game btw

[@david10101961]

Crime tiles...... LOL. Classic Knizia game on many different levels, brilliant review likewise

[@fbulhoes]

Quinn, you are gorgeous

[@Pinstripedood]

The crime tiles got me good lol

[@iNerdier]

Man. Quins is so pink, I hadn't realised before.

[@johnwentworth1368]

Saw this video years ago, and the game was out of stock every time I checked. Saw it in a local game store yesterday, played it last night, and it’s GOOD! 😃👍🏻

[@pacogarcia5894]

Love your videos Quinns, gonna.buy ra.now (20 years later the game was realeased hahaha)

[@joeflowers695]

Love this game. One of my favorites!

[@MCBunkerwelt]

Great white board easteregg! What's a wedding without lizards?

[@kas9402]

omg, I'm totally buying this game! O_O oh and also get yourself a leg tan T_T PS: if you like this kind of "relative value auction" mechanic, have you played For Sale? It's one of our favorite quick filler card games. It is super simple but has the same surprisingly deep and interesting choice/betting mechanics as you were describing.

[@phillipmillman3290]

I'm going to drink heavily to unsee you in your knickers. Uggh. (Great description and looks interesting). The puns are painful.

[@karoletti]

Am I the only one who hit the play button because Quinns' wearing a Nemes? Nicely done as usual. :)

[@JE-ij7fx]

Quinns should wear makeup more often.

[@cursivecurses]

I'd agree if it had a cleaner, slicker design (e.g. cut the Location concept entirely). Great ideas in that game though.

[@tcp1623]

Many people have tried, many have failed - you pulled it off... :)

[@BoardGameSanctuary]

haha Love the Costume!

[@MrChrisxny]

Wow! Nice costume. Fun game.

[@CaptMench]

Brilliant

[@FFXIK]

I've been marathoning old episodes and came back across this one. Remember wanting to pick it up for a our game group then and decided that now is a good a time as any. Except now isn't a good time. It may be a great game but it's not $200 good. Looks like I'm waiting for a reprint.

[@felixhayes2404]

A new one is arriving super soon!

[@paulstaker8861]

Chinatown is a trading game, not an auction game. But it IS emotionally abhorrent. In a good way.

[@JitseLemmens]

Ra Ra Ramma Rah

[@AndyVandercoy]

brilliant

[@Jessie_Helms]

Haven’t finish the review yet. If there isn’t a RA-RA-rasputine bit I will RA-RA-riot.

[@malusignatius]

SUN GOD FUN GOD RA RA RA!

[@woomod2445]

We played our first game of ra, in two games we saw two shoot for the moon solo bids. The first they had two tiles and made out like a fucking bandit just running at ra tokens. The second got END OF EPOCHed losing everything.

[@soupy4099]

They're just deserts. Fucking died.

[@narsil0420]

maybe he was thinking Vizer as in Jafar?

[@borisandrews3867]

So I found Samurai to be the 3rd entry on BGG, anyone know what the 1st is?

[@stevenmcgoldrick8552]

Die Macher. But as it's a year later, you probably know that already...

[@Liopot68]

Is that a pharaoh costume or Harley Quinn's?... Quinn's... see what I did there?

[@danielbridger7113]

can you review Tzolk'in: The Mayan Calendar please?

[@shutupandsitdown]

www.shutupandsitdown.com/review-tzolkin/

[@danielbridger7113]

oh, thank u! (optional question: witch do u prefer; tzolk'in or mexica?)

[@shutupandsitdown]

Very different experiences - you should try both!

[@dago6410]

Card games have a small posibility space? Someone call Richard Garfield and Tell this to him

[@echoes6092]

Small box card games do, generally. I don't think you can call a game with over 20,000 cards a "small-box" game. ;)

[@avocadowitchknits6629]

I'm about 60% sure that the statue actually depicts Horus, not Ra. 😝

[@haruruben]

my friends spend the whole game licking the board, my friends do a lot of drugs. Just kidding, I don't have any friends

[@hamlet735]

Omg this looks so nice! Why do men's clothing have to be so boring when you can walk around like an ancient god instead!

[@akmalfikri]

viziers?

[@fireant202]

Volton so good!

[@DriveThruReview]

Loved it as well. Crushed when it ended.

[@johnyramble]

I'd say Abyss is the best auction game.

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

This review is Ra

[@branboom3342]

I prefer my boardgames fully cooked

[@turtlevader]

But this game is still good at 2 players! Let me stay and let's play!

[@badasunicorn6870]

Hail Sobek, Globeheads! (this was a Hbomberguy refrence, I don't actually believe the earth is glat, bor do I unironically worship ancient egyptian gods)

[@RikoJAmado]

With a decent hairpiece Quinns could actually pass as a hot chick.

[@JonatasAdoM]

Gordon Ramsay: "This game is *rAAAAAAAAAA"*

[@MrMoonwalkingBear]

I don't think I get this game am I missing something? I played for the first time with my family the other day so 3 of us, and I found everyone just calls ra immediately because whoever has the 13 first is just going to win? Like you can get everything and then on your turn call ra on everyone else ? Am I missing something?

[@JonatasAdoM]

I can't believe it...they do sound like an Asian boy band.

[@unlimitedrabbit]

Quinns, please reuse this outfit for reviewing the game First Contact!

[@zacdredge3859]

2:00 I'm guessing he just mispronounced viziers but oh well...

[@oeolson1]

Yr water's big

[@themetalhead92g]

soooo...Ra or alhambra would be the better game ??

[@jessiej1746]

I’ll gladly trade you my Alhambra for your Ra

[@smartkrafter2853]

Your eyes look pretty and that feels weird

[@roop298]

Sort your bloody bonsai out.
