Quinns: "Don't you ever wonder about where things come from?" Paul: "No, no... not since my parents told me where I came from." Quins: "..."

13:10 I believe it's necessary to highlight that Quinns' idea of a dinner is a microwaved bag of potato ships.

Answer: It's for me - someone who loves 4x games, but whose game group doesnt have time to commit to the big 6+ hour slogs, since we only get together every couple of months.

We bought this game because of this review, and just got done playing: It's instantly my group's favorite game. By leagues. I cannot say enough good things about it. Everything is so balanced and tight and it feels good.

"these games don''t exist in a vacuum"

That's all good but how does Diary of a Wimpy Kid Cheese Touch compare?

Just watched you review and watched one turn of a playthrough on another channel. Immediately went and bought the game. I'm so excited to rope my wife and kid into playing this one. I love 4x games and having one this simple to get other people into is fantastic. Thanks for the things you do, folks.

great subs! Great outro music :-)

A personal favourite on my shelf. Clean, fast and fun.

Been looking forward to this

One of my very favorite games, glad to see the word getting out about it! My group recently got a copy of Twilight Imperium, which is amazing, but also amazingly long. This game works great for shorter/more impromptu sessions.

Quantum! One of the very best of the interactive, strategic boardgames! I love it! Always willing to play and your review just cemented my feelings. So very fun! Of course, your review was a masterpiece as much as Quantum is a masterpiece of design. Thanks for bringing it to everyone's attention.

I'm sold, buying this right now.

Great game that I pull out a lot, even (and maybe especially!) with more casual gamers! Looking forward to playing this for years to come.

Great review as always and I simply love Quantum. It's one of my favorite boardgames because of the different strategies you can come up with while playing and feeling really smart after executing an awesome move no one saw coming. Some of the command cards are over powered compared to others though. Especially the mentioned righteous card is very powerfull because it enables the player having it into abandoning the quest to poop his cubes the usual way and simply blowing up enemy ships until he pooped his cubes everywhere. Quantum being out of print is sad though. Maybe the publishers will do another print run eventually.

I was lucky enough to get this from my local boardgame cafe that was having a sale of it... and a couple of people I just met that night told me I should totally get it. It even came with the expansion. My wife enjoys it and keeps kicking my butt. I, the geek, actually have trouble getting into the theme, and I love sci-fi. But I don't regret getting it. I just wish I could get into it more so I would love playing it more.

I found the last possible sealed copy sold from a store at the end of the Earth in Tierra del Fuego, Chile :^)

Cool review! I think I'd play it if I had money to buy it.

Me: *thinking* the last few days if there's a shorter 4x game. Google algorithms: well, I'm glad you asked.

A really great game and one of my favourites. Great mechanics, simple to learn and fantastic to play.

One of the few games I bought before I started watching SU&SD, and I simply adore it. It's one of the strongest games I've ever played mechanically, and it allows people to win through a few different skills (though those who can best grok the combinations of ship powers are going to succeed most often). It may lack a few features of more glamorous 4X's, but it polishes the diamond core around which they all revolve to a mirror finish.

I've been wanting to grab this since the second edition came out, but then other games come out... first "world" problems. I never looked at it as a 4X game, very neat. I looked at it as more akin to an area control-ish abstract. And I enjoy sci-fi themes for not being another gorgeous fantasy theme. Either way... to my collection, mwhahahahaha! PS: Thanks guys for the reviews and hard work :)

This is for people like me: stereotypical nerd, but not necessarily a board game nerd. Love 4x games, but I'm not enough into the space theme to go for more complex games. Also, I think that this is also for people that like games like Mission Red Planet.

Very keen for Rex review

I adore the look of this game, and my gaming group would love it. Alas, I just went to buy it and found that it's out of print. Ouch, my heart.

I love this game, I'm surprised it took them this long to review it

Can't find this game anywhere so guess I'll just have to set up the barbeque

I don't see those last three with the youtube search bar and shut up and sit down?

(1) Is there a review for The New Science? (2) Every time the boys say "Pip," I do not think dice, but Warr.

Wait, is Paul back in the UK?!

You can create your own expansion packs by buying some different colored dice 🎲

Im glad I found a game to use my dice for! (No illegal copying games here out of paper, haha)

You know what, I want this game. Why? First. Modular board. Second. Easy to pick up and play. And most of all. Lots of D6. I've loved the D6 since I was a kid and this gives so much to me. and I like when that happens. The end.

I like your Budapest t-shirt

I think it's for people who want a quick game. Something to do after Seven Wonders, and before dinner.

Обожаю вас ребята!

Cool dice color, too bad not illuminate in dark , you made quit interesting impression on this game in this review

WOW as of 10/01/2019, Cannot get Quantum!

I want this game but can’t find it anywhere ;-;

Quantum is amazing and if you don't own it you should (if you can afford it and find it). It also has a special prize for the game that has destroyed the most friendships. On a critical note, any dice game has a lot of luck and can take strategy and throw it out the window, but that is what also makes quantum fun. Also the upgrade cards dramatically change the game, some are better then others. Normally this is bad but it makes this the game more fun, because it forces you to think differently each game, rather than turn out the same sequence of turns every game until the person with the better memory wins. PS: Great review!

This game is for me. I really like semi-abstract and simple games. Settlers of Catan and Tiny Epic Galaxies are a lot of fun to me, and im often turned off by bigger competitive games.

Quinns: "oh that's my dinner!" *takes out some chips from the microwave*

Cant find it anywhere anymorr

Me. This game is definitely for me.

This game is still this good.

Surprised you didn't change the title to Quinntum.

Did... Did he microwave a bag of crips?

I've been deafened by R2D2.

The audience is people with people that don't have 8 hours for board game nights! One day I'll finish a match of TI. One day. Until then, quantum seems a better bet.

Curious. I just watched the Second Sci-Fi Special to get a review on Infamy. (Joke's on me, obviously.) It's just odd that I come across this just after that.

Excelente game and very unique. It's a pity it's out of print

Where is the review for Eclipse?

Did you actually review any of those games...?

08:00 that symbol... . It is just a coincidence?

IS THIS CANADA!?!?!?!?!?

I kind of object to John Williams' Star Wars themes being subtitled "dramatic music"

#QuinnsGetSomeSleep and/or #PaulLetQuinnsSleep.

Did the publisher ever fix the issues with bad dice and the improved player board that the designer updated, among other things?

I've admired the design of this game for a long time, and I'm a sucker for ships in space. BUT, I can avoid the sense that in the end, it's just a well disguised, bean-counter version of combat Yatzee. As in, whomever manages to most effectively run their personal dice odds algorithm will always come out the winner. I don't want a game that's an elaborate math problem.

I think you guys are drawing too distinct of a line between "geeks" and "non-geeks." Comics, sci-fi, and board games are no longer tiny niche things, they're incredibly popular these days. Popular board games like Catan and Pandemic have broadened the horizons for so many beyond the typical Monopoly & company. So while more people want and would enjoy playing strategic, thematic sci-fi games instead of casual games, there are many people who don't have the time or are willing to devote as much time to playing board games as more involved hobbyists are. There are a lot of people in that middle area.

Basically this game is a bigger Tiny Epic Galaxies... Huge Epic Galaxies??

Is this a new one?

I love you guys but you should really start treating your boxes a little better. You had coal on top of it!
