Public Service Announcement: If you ever think to yourself 'Haven't I seen this review before?' - just check the video description. It usually gives you a 'first published' date, keeping you from believing you have passed on to another dimension.

Probably my favorite SUSD review. The comedy is comedic. The insight is insightful. The passion is passiontastic

As an American, I can absolutely confirm that the American Dream is accurately described at 2:06, complete with the comment about it being bleak.

5 1/2 years later and probably still one of SU&SD's best reviews. Hats off to Quinns for this one, really

@SapphireCrook 7 жыл бұрын

SUSD recommends Quintin's Dream. Enjoy seeing the many sights, such as "the pile of discarded CAH boxes", "VHS and DVD games that never took off", "games whose manuals are lost or in ancient egyptian" and the all famous "games SUSD recommends, but with a twist".

Just want to comment how much I love a small segment of this review. The moment where Quinns slides into frame looking into the camera and says, "Hi". I freaking love it. This is peak SU&SD.

I have just ordered it. It's not localized in my country and I only managed to find it in a single online board game store. And I grabbed the last box of it. Because after i submitted my order it went out of stock. What a luck 😃 Looking forward to playing it with my friends

@CidiousBlack 6 жыл бұрын

Then it might be a very good game for your group. Game theory forces trading to happen once one player trades one thing with one other player those two players have just gained an advantage. If you can be the guy who is always generous, always giving, always taking the 40% in 60/40 deals you can suddenly win by being the most generous player when you've run a deal with each of the 4 other players giving you a healthy 160% to their measly 60%s Until they start to trade with each other.

@CidiousBlack 6 жыл бұрын

ShaggyLunchCake by 40/60 trades I meant that they take 60% of the profit and you take 40% of the profit. After giving more that you get multiple times you can end up quite rich if each trade is designed so that both players make a profit.

My dad is an absolute monster in Monopoly. It took him five minutes to learn this game and five more to become the most ruthless player. He loved it, and I loved seeing him stonewall my brother, who usually dominates games like this.

@stevenoneil8563 4 жыл бұрын

So this game sounded so cool I tracked down a foreign language copy and just printed the English manual since I couldn't find a single English copy for sale anywhere. GET THIS GAME. It is an absolute masterpiece, and probably my first choice if I was going to try to sell someone on board gaming as a hobby.

@ymeynot0405 6 жыл бұрын

These games end up being very static in our gaming group. Our group has a preset: stop player A from winning because if you don't they will win, and then stop player B from winning or he will win if player A is knocked out. Out of our 7-9 players we only get 5ish player together at one time, so this game would end up being - "who can trade the most with players A & B the most before they impose the embargo, or who gets sick of the game and plays kingmaker to A or B".

Didn't sell at all. Though great job trying. Some points why: - why you think the nerds I'm playing with wouldn't do their math? - ur friends are trading with you when you have taken the obvious lead? really? mine even don't give me a chance to trade from the very start. - overall looks like another monopoly

@DerekHohls 4 жыл бұрын

I think you may have missed most of what Quinns actually said. It looks nothing like Monopoly.
