"Why not visit the United Kingdom" absolutely killed me, hahaha

The ability to place a cube inside the train is enough to sell me on this

The jokes and editing are on point in this one! First a joke creeps in so slowly that the delivery itself becomes hilarious, then another one punches me in the face and runs away before I can register what happened!

The proximity of the train at the start was a source of sweaty palms.

“Why not visit the United Kingdom” made me spit out my cereal laughing too hard!

The editing in this one is a bit unhinged and I'm loving it

You’ve made me equally excited in trains and the prospect of visiting Great Britain’s historic cinderblock stations. Kudos to you.

I noticed the little Banjo Kazooie reference there with the backpack.

I think trains also have some very iconic technology. There is all this weird and cool equipment that is used in the train industry.

“We’re just normal dice. Innocent dice.” did not go unnoticed!

Thank you so much for the review! We had never heard about this game but bought it last week after watching your review (I must admit, it was 30 percent your review and 70 percent the awesome train on the box cover) and tonight we had our first try at it. We almost made it - literally one card/one throw of the dice away from victory we had to concede defeat. The cool thing about it was that our 6 year-old had his first ever "big board game" experience and he really played his part and remembered all the rules. Amazing. The other cool thing is that we can easily make it harder for ourselves because it is so nicely configurable. Badly needed, since my wife is a public-transport network planner and just destroys in games like this. We haven't lost a game of Pandemic in years. :D

I missed something at the beginning and didn’t realize it was a cooperative game until the end 😂 sounds like fun! I love cooperative games :)

Banjo Kazooie audio reference brought joy. Carry on!

It’s kind of hilarious that KZfaq showed a “Discover Sweden by Train This Summer” ad and I didn’t realise the video had ended until a minute in. =)

those train-sitions were a beautiful piece of video editing.

I must say I love the new style of SU&SD. Great video as ever, keep it up!

The box says 2-4, but this is pretty much 16(ish) turns, doesn't matter how many people take them. So absolutely solo-able

Came for the trains, stayed for the Banjzooie and Ringo era Thomas references

"Internat pedent" is an incredibly clever joke, well done.

David Thompson's solo war game Castle Itter is very much about rolling two dice to see where the problems arrive (i.e. panic at cursed #7) and then shuffling things around to problem solve. Interesting to see that through line, it's a fantastic gameplay loop that lends itself perfectly to a train game.

That outro alone was a masterpiece

I hear that Banjo Kazooie sound clip. I approve of N64 nostalgia.

Matt's not feeling the choo choos? For this issue, I recommend using a functional train whistle as your active player marker. Happy tootling, Matt!

5:39 hahaha gotta be careful where the hand is placed to be a censor bar

5, 6, 7, 8.... and 9! Nine has the same probability as five, and it triggered me when Matt said five thru eight. Thanks for the entertainment!

Was that a split second of "Dancing Queen" at the end there or do my ears decieve me?

Wow this is my favorite shut up and sit down review so far, and there is some tough competition! Hilarious stuff and looks like a fun game

You know, until the gift-giving guide, I'd somehow missed this video. But I, too, love trains! This video is a delight!

4:48 Are the trains transporting Jiggies? :o

love the subtle hand placement censoring the "I'm fuckin late" clock lol

Trains are fukin boss. Something I found fascinating was how long it took to implement a passage for drivers/stokers into the tender (the coal carrying bit) so they could swap shifts without needing to stop the train and change over. Think it was the Mallard which was the first to do it.

Yay, my hometown of Stockton-on-Tees mentioned in a SU&SD video!

Hey! I'm from Stockton! it's nice for people to actually acknowledge us for trains, we get forgotten about a lot. I say that like I was there when trains were invented haha

It feels like Matt's been hoarding train jokes for a while for this one

Thanks for the review! We quite like Switch & Signal because it is different enough from Pandemic that it fills a different space.

The energy in this review is great, excellent comedy by Matt! Think I may have found a game for my train loving wife!

Superb - should not have eaten my breakfast while watching this as I have spat shreddies all over my iPad at Matt’s train station monologue 😆

Awwww not the Banjo Kazooie nostalgia!

The "Da Share Zone" bit was spot on and got me right in the guts.

Thanks Matt! Great as always!

don't think i'll pick this up but am thankful to have gotten to see matt's very special clock :O

Matt’s blend of comedy and thoughtfulness is unparalleled

Matt in top form 🙌🏻

This was laugh-out-loud hillarious, and also has me very interested in a game I'd never heard of. Thanks!

Train go “choo choo”

That Thomas face....XD

But does it include a bus replacement service on Sundays, Matt? And when you said: "You're going to crash", Crash by The Primitives popped into my head and won't leave again, so I guess I've got an earworm now.

Need a t-shirt or sticker that says "Trains Go Hard & Heavy with the Vibes"

The Banjo and Tooie nostalgia hit hard.

That Da Share Z0ne nod was pretty good.

What strange hand placement on that clock

I loved the slightly psychotic Thomas cameo

The quality of the editing in these reviews is really getting out of hand, feels like it's only a matter of time before Matt buys some motion capture gear and takes SUSD to the next level.

Well I've scoured the comments and as far as I can tell, I now have to comment "We're just innocent men", so that someone does. If you came to the comments looking for someone to mention this... hi! Hope you've having a lovely day.

Was that a Banjo Kazooie sound bite at 4:47? Lovely editing for just that little moment! 😆

That homemade clock 😂😂

This seems very interesting. Great review!

When Matt puts the cube in the train, is that the jingle from banjo kazooie!?!?

That clock, lol! **Checks spelling**

I'm a fan of the reusing of the Elven Jeep

That might be the most British SUSD video so far

"We're just normal dice. We're just innocent dice."

I am taking a ride on the bluebell railway next week and wanted to take a train themed game with me to play with friends while we ride the steam train or in the station café afterwrds. I was thinking one of the 18xx games but those are way too long and way too aggressive. I don't like ticket to ride. This seems perfect. And the art style... wow... Thnaks for the suggestion.

You guys should try Railways of the World. Great family friendly train game with a epic feeling!

"Normal dice. Just innocent dice." Hacker would be proud.

Superb use of Mendelssohn A minor quartet!

Your video and passion for this game and trains convinced me to buy this game! I can't wait to play it with my family!

“Hard and heavy with the vibes.” Quality tombstone content right there.

ok but also can we talk about how great that shirt is

Matt's sense of humour is truly something I love. I wish I could play a boardgame with him.

I watched while riding the train to work 😀

Literally slapped my knee

I enjoyed the 0.3 seconds of ABBA's Dancing Queen at the end. The soundtrack of our destruction.

Great vid, super funny :D

good to see you did in fact make it back inside your apartment

Loved the Banjo Kazooie jiggy jingle

nice TRAINsition in 1:06

This was a very entertaining review! I'd have liked you to talk a bit on how it felt as a coop (is it a fun problem to solve as a group; is it vulnerable to quarterbacking like Pandemic?), and you didn't explain very clearly how you win.

I defintely felt the choo-choo in this one.

I wonder how common it is to lose your phone and find yourself hung over at lower peaverly bottom. Cause that's the 2nd time I've heard of it happening to someone and that seems like a high number.

I can't believe SUSD has been bought by the train lobby. You can't deceive me big train!

This video needed more cameo's of Matt's clock that said I'm F!@3in' Late on it.

4:21 da share zone! 4:48 I'm watching PlayFrame's go of Banjo Kazooie so this is extra funny

For some reason I read this as "Why are brains cool?" lol

I need that clock for my game room.

Just normal dice, innocent dice

I did not anticipate a Da Share Zone reference in Shut up & Sit Down.

I think SU;SD would have a place for non-boardgamerelated essays, like just Matt talking about trains

lmao a da share zone reference, classic

It's silly how this went from 'dawww, cute wittle train gaim with like 2.10 weight on bgg' to 'if you're looking for something like this... GLOOMHAVEN'. :)))

I like trains. I probably should get this game.

I think the only way for a game to be more about trains than just using them as set dressing is one where you control one individually and get to customize it. Kind of like the video game Bounty Train does it, where you can roam freely around the United States, build your personal train, hire a crew, and gain money by deliveries. Personally, I would really look forward to a boardgame-version of Bounty Train.

They're just normal dice. Just innocent dice...

excellent and wonderful review

Literally layers of hilarious nonsense in this delicious and delightful review.

I want that clock 5:40

A shout-out to Da Share Z0ne??? Incredible stuff.

More evidence of why I love Matt.

Matt’s best review on record. Fact.

In all seriousness, Colt Express gives that feeling of A TRAIN
