“This system belongs in the stone age... because it rocks!” Classic mid-sentence turn-around.

'If we give them a pork, they'll give us a secret.' But Quinns, this is a family show!

"...Paleo's exceptionally strong opening!" *straps in for the expected high-g forces of the upcoming turnaround*

Looks like the game designers listened! We got the game in 2022 and the characters on our cards show a whole range of colours!

well you can't spell Paleo without pale

Please let that 'to be continued' be a herald of a multi-video weaved narrative of rivalry and escalating hijinks! PLEASE!

"Paleo's rules have a lot in common with the psyche of your average British man - smiling and simple on the outside, close to implosion on the inside" Class, just pure class Quinns.

Oh my God, that beach walk montage made me laugh so so much. By Bonk 3 I was gone!

So, this is embarassing... I just found out, thanks to this review, that me and my girlfriend played Paleo completely wrong from start to finish. We actually looked at the 3 cards instead of choosing them by their backs. Now we have to play it all over again in the correct way. So thanks, Quinns. (No, seriously, thanks, I love this game and I'll take any excuse to play it again)

I love Paleo solo. In fact, it's one of my favorite to play solo. The box does not indicated that you can play 1-player, but there are solo rules included. A very interesting, puzzley game. And I love the art (though more historically accurate would be a welcomed change).

As a professional archaeologist, I appreciate the portion of this review that went into the archaeological/historical background and demonstrated the issues of having white-only depictions of Palaeolithic individuals. That was my immediate groan when I saw the cards and it was such a nice surprise to hear commentary about that issue. Obviously, games like this have to generalize a little bit and have some anachronistic qualities but skin colour is one that perhaps doesn't have to be compromised on. It is nice, however, that the character cards showed some amount of gender-balance in relation to the activities they depict (i.e. men aren't the only ones holding and spear and women are just picking berries and holding children). And, it is nice that this adds some somewhat more complex nuance into Palaeolithic life and not just focus on stereotypes.

As any Anthropology student, I really appreciate this video. Lovely job as always!

It's kind of funny that Quinn has such a fancy and expensive board game table and never actually uses it like it's supposed to be used for games.

Thanks for the really good and professional review. As for the rules: The publisher already re-worked and published new german rules. With a second EN print, that will adapt as well. As for the represetnation of just "whites". The publisher also sees that and sees that as a true mistake. There will be a mini-expansion changing that in a few weeks and a real different humans-stack late in 2021.

The fun games (that they don't recommend) month

For anyone wondering the second version which I have at home has a more diverse cast of hunters and gatherers and also a much better manual!

Thanks for the review also for the information about humanity and how wild it is to think about the Paleolithic era. Thanks for doing that extra work and caring about it. It's all too common to see board game people just ignore stuff like that.

I want to play this game while Werner Herzog narrates it

I always applaud our courageous ancestors: "Well, Grungk, I found these different fruits and now I'm going to eat them." Drop dead "Poor, Ogh. But now we know that these are bad. What about those others?"

Just for the information, there is an error on the english rules: you choose one card and return the other two in tha same order they were before, not the order you choose.

Wow! I loved the time line. This just became my favourite KZfaq channel 😊

The depressing music at the end was really good

I really like Matt's (it is Matt, right?) "mmm"s of regret when he catches one of Quinn's errors in editing.

I love how SUSD can stay true to the review and try to explain everything in and out for the game itself. Those who are having issues with the last part of the video about being historically correct, I think this is something SUSD will always do. They did the same in Undaunted Normandy's review too and I have nothing but respect for bringing out these points.

I'll find it funny if Quinns and Matt start some little feud or continued subplot in their following videos, and Tom just continues doing his own thing completely oblivious to all of this lol.

Those sound effects.

"Your average British man: smiling and simple on the outside, close to implosion on the inside." How dare... yep, that's accurate.

This was a really good review and the music interlude was extremely funny. Thank you!

this review just went from a tier to s tier with that beach-walk montage

“If we give them a pork, they give us a secret.” Sounds like my first girlfriend.

“Please, Barry, please stop showing me that thing” lololol

the "it belongs in the stone age. because it rocks" line broke me

Lol yh sketch at the very end was just super funny! Also great review as always!

That Mumford and Sons reference was unintentionally very well-timed haha

These weekly uploads have been fantastic!

Sounds like it may have benefited from actually being a legacy style game with added cards as the levels went on

You forgot about "Joe & Mac"... it's like double dragons, but with dinosaurs

Awesome review with so much love and care!

My initial thought whenever I start a SU&SD video is.... "What the hell is Quinns doing now?" I like it. :D

Board game company in 2021: Add a few random un-needed cardboard pieces and up the price by £15 no-one will notice thats what you did

Aww.. Leave Baby Sinclair alone! His mom is Blue and his Dad is Green. He's definitely a Dinosaur of Color.

this sounds fun! Also you are very funny and I want that game table

Glad this is on tabletopia so I can give it a shot before commiting to it! Thanks for the detailed review!

0:06 The quarantine has really taken its toll on Quinns

The final shot was covered by a link to another video. I choose to believe it said "To be Quintinued"

There's playing the game and then there's pretending you got sucked into it like jumanji

I love Puppet Quinns so much that I find it hard to express how much in words.

*Joshua Homme has entered the chat*

I got this for Christmas and played it a few times. The first time was with 3 players and it went fairly well. We got a bit cocky and added a 4th player for the 2nd and 3rd games. We were unable to even get CLOSE the second game. We got closer the 3rd game, but were still a LONG way off of winning. I would suggest staying with 3 players, as there just aren't enough turns to gather the resources you need to both meet the goals AND to feed your people (each play has a minimum of 2 people and all require 1 food to survive).

The reason I became fan of SU&SD was the smart way stereotypes were addressed in Istanbul's review. I'm glad that this world is slowly changing. Thanks a lot!

I am starting to think, atleast for me, that fun and good artstyle two concepts related to one another if you want to have a good boardgame

That ending... priceless

What a thoughtful review. Thanks so much!

I too am covered in dirt until I have my tea.

Fact-checking Santa hard at work for this one.

Thanks Quinns! A bit of science to go with the undaunted history. Good on you

Ending is too good

I'm at 8:25 so about half-way through the video and Quinns is just unfettered enthusiasm. I'm anxious to see how this will continue.

This was another fantastic review!

Jog on, Marvel -- THIS is the most intriguing cliffhanger of our generation!

Is there any good use for the "not-used" cards? Or can they be thrown out of the cave?

12:05 Well that was a prescient line in the script then eh?

Lol. That ending. :D

*that does look fun...adding it to my wishlist of things to spend more money on rather than pay bills or buying food with*

Ooooh are we getting a return to “storylines” in the videos?!?

Omg I have been drinking loads of tea as well

I find the inclusion of the dodo in the game a touch peculiar. While it seems to have existed in the Paleolithic, it would not survive in an environment that also features wolves, as it eventually went extinct because humans introduced predators to its habitat. Is our association of extinct=prehistoric really this strong?

Nice to know these strategy grognards can also get down with Mount Your Friends 3D.

14:00 What is going on with the weather in this shot??? Did you guys anger the gods? Did the weather machine break? Is the apocalypse happening? I'm concerned!

I can´t believe you Gordon Ramsayed us with that rock comment

“It’s a race between art and.... depression” killed me! Oh Quinns! You wordsmith you!

Why isn't he playing the game by himself at the end?

WAS THAT CRO!??! I haven't thought about that show in years!

Do SUSD presenters not all have puppet sock versions of each other?

When this video opened, for a moment I thought Quinns was doing an Al Pacino.

Awesome review as usual. You guys are the fuckin best

Do you think you could link the stock music you use in the descriptions? Sometimes it's something I think I've heard in another video, or just makes me curious, and it might be nice to give the artists the bump!

Man. Quinns. How you keep SUSD videos fresh and funny, fair and informative after all these years I don't know. It blows me away. Long live the Kings (and Fiddle Queens)!

Was thinking they'd be neanderthals, but they look a bit dainty. I think it's pretty mixed about what people think their skin color and hair colors were, so who knows. Considering they lived quite a bit from the equator, they may have been on the paler side I suppose, maybe they had red hair as well... it's a different species and all, so most likely not too similar gene expression.

I enjoyed this review, but the ‘to be continued’ was undoubtedly the best bit

This reminds me of a caveman i enjoyed. The concept is you witness the first fire and have to keep it going as the winter kicks in. Really enjoyed it but noone else did. I think if it had some of this mechanic it would be perfect.

I see Quinns has discovered his rival; Better Quinns.

More Bonk references than you usually see in a SHSD video

at 3:39 - how did he do that effect? where he's playing against himself?

3:40 are you sure you dont have to put them back in the order they had before? great review :)

Love connected episodes ❤️

This feels like it wants a second edition. A bit of tuning of the manual is exactly the sort of thing a second edition is for, and getting a bit more accuracy in the art would be reasonably affordable.

oh hey, it really is a month that will actually be a month!

I'm gonna need an explanation re. the buckle on the intro mug

Not the mama! 😂

I wonder if Paleo would be better served by having many more cards of each general type, but before playing you cut each set down to the current counts. This would maintain at least some of the mystery across multiple games both because it would take multiple games to encounter every card and because you'd never know what cards are available in your current game until you encounter them. You could also potentially spice up later days by randomly swapping out a few cards at the end of each day. This would also be a relatively easy "fix" for the publisher; they'd simply need to release "expansion" decks and add the rule to reduce each deck to X cards of each type before play.

That Tea Drinking music is from Kevin Macleod! They use it as the intro music on the Androids and Aliens podcast! Sorry. Just had a Captain America "I understood that" moment.

@12:45 start of the wrong era? (or "start of" instead of "end of")

SCP-3001 has entered the room 2:03

Is that 2 seconds of Mount Your Friends menu music I hear?

Homme would be proud

Great video, pity it seems unavailable already in the UK. I suppose that is what we are used to these days, mind you. :)

Nooo! Not Bonk 3! It can't be true!

Mammoth review! 🦣

3:38 Actually not "the order of your choice", you put them back in the same order.
