In this CHUNKY video review, Tom and Quinns are appraising ten (ten!) unique small-box games and telling YOU where the gems are at. All of these games are fabulous, we had a blast playing them, and we hope you enjoy this frankly rather silly little video.

For the Queen would be an amazing DnD session. Like "You are all accompanying the Queen on a months long trip, after 2 months of your journey you sit by the fire and think to yourself *game*" It'd be a refreshing session, jumpstart PC driven character dev, and lead into a hell of a combat.

There was so much to love about this video! The wacky antics! The great editing! The verbose and comprehensive reviews on those treasureful games that required the extra attention when needed! Quinns reactions to Tom really amped up the humor in this one. But Tom keeping things light, breezy, and altogether crazy is always welcome in every video he's in. They certainly also got me wanting to check out Worldbreakers, Trailblazers, and For The Queen, in particular.

I think we needed one millisecond of Quinns screaming in a dungeon at the very end of the video, but otherwise a perfect video. Spots is the one I wound up wanting the most. For Sale is already in my collection, and I love it. Also, I dislike Magic the Gathering and Worldbreakers looks boring to me, but I LOVE Radlands. So what does it all mean? Something very, very significant, for sure. Absolutely.

I love that you finally covered For Sale. To me it is hands down the best gateway game ever and among my top ranked games ever due to the 'ohno!' 'oh my GOODNESS YESSS' moments that are present in every single game. I have gifted more copies of this game than awkward hugs to the inlaws (although those are easily avoided since the pandemic, so perhaps I need another analogy) and I love it to bits. I actually have specifically bought the travel edition in the US (not available in mainland Europe) just so I could carry a copy with me in most of my outdated coats that I keep wearing, just because of pocket size and familiar smell.
