Zoo Vadis: SU&SD's New Favourite Negotiation Game?

Рет қаралды 140,814

8 ай бұрын

Tom and Quinns are BACK with the second part of their double-bill of Reiner Knizia reprints! This week, Bitewing’s re-imagining of Quo Vadis, Zoo Vadis, is up for questioning by our daring duo. Is this the absolute belter of a box it’s cracked up to be? Will the site finally agree on a negotiation game?! And, most importantly, should you buy this… or a game from 1992…

I feel deined of my wholesome ending of Quinns going to a zoo for the first time.

@grimreaper0 8 ай бұрын

I was about to type almost this exact comment.

@DavidChong 8 ай бұрын

I was hoping for Tom to go back on his agreement once the review was done in a manner echoing the theme of the game

@silverknight66 8 ай бұрын

yeah, where's the zoo footage??

@kyjeong 8 ай бұрын

We DEMAND that Quinns go to the zoo and have a wonderful time!!!

@rosserobertolli 8 ай бұрын

They could still salvage the ending by uploading a seemingly random 18 second video where Quinns is at the elephants and comments on their tusks or something. They could call it "Me at the zoo" just like the first video on youtube ever?

I'm curious if it's a call back to SUSD's review of Tigris & Euphrates where Matt points at an image of a lion and calls it a tiger. (at least, it looked like a lion to me!)

Always love a good review from Quinns and The Bad Monkey™️

@markhenderson6389 8 ай бұрын

Even after watching countless SU&SD videos, I'm still amazed at the sheer joy you have not just for playing board games, but for reviewing them! Funny, smart, thoughtful, well-written, funny, informative, engaging, original, funny, insightful, creative, and comprehensive (while still being approachable, easy to understand, and highly entertaining). Did I mention funny? Like laugh-out-loud-at-your-screen funny? Easily one of your best yet!!

@RJ-lb7ic 8 ай бұрын

This is outrageous! Quinns didn't even see the elephants at the zoo in the outro! SUaSD should at least budget for an annual zoo visit from this day forward! Unionize!

@StanWoodsStories 8 ай бұрын

When checking your KZfaq analytics, don't be surprised that a part when Quinns learned about zoos existence got significantly more views than the rest of the video. It's me watching it on repeat bazillion of times
