North Star Games published hit game The Quacks of Quedlinburg in 2018, launching ten thousand sales and a host of history-related questions. Was there actually a quack festival in Quedlinburg? Was Quedlinburg connected to Quacks at all? And what about the Quacks themselves? Who were they?
Join Jarom as he delves into the wild world of Renaissance medicine on a hunt for the REAL Quacks of Quedlinburg. We hope you find his discoveries entertaining & maybe a tad.... enlightening?

Slay the Spire: The Board Game is FINALLY here! Jarom has been playing his copy to rags, and he has some thoughts to share. The short of it?

This week, Jarom’s reporting on Courtisans, a feisty little game about court-clashing and queen-schmoozing for 2-5 players released by Pandasaurus Games earlier this year. The bottom line?

Dune Imperium UPRISING Review: Better Than the Original, or Just Different?

A (Coherent?) Review of LACRIMOSA Feat. An Ill-Advised Heavy Metal Tribute to Mozart
I watched this entire video and am only now getting around to commenting, this video was so incredibly well done. I love videos that take strange deep dives because I always learn something new.
Thanks for giving it a watch ❤️
Loved it!
Thanks for checking it out! :)
Very impressed by the sheer amount of thorough research and planning that went into this- would love to see this as a series in the future!
Pax Pamir would be real good
oooo that's a great suggestion!
This was facinating. Next time I stick my hand in my black bag of ingredients, I will channel my quack and question the need for formal education. Love the format! Keep it coming :)
Ahaha you'll go far! :D
This was some god-tier overthinking, but definitely worth it. There are some obvious games that have an interesting historical background, but I wouldn't have thought Quacks was one of them. 10/10 would watch again
God tier overthinking.... my special gift 😅 thanks for giving this one a watch. I loved making it, and I'm excited for you all to see the next one!
Very good job!!!!!
Thanks so much for giving this video a look! Looking forward to sharing the next one :)
Stellar presentation, and a large departure from the mirth and merriment of your review format. I like the deep dive, the incredible investigation that went into this. Watched it all the way through. And yeah, it sucks but it does turn out that airplane rides cost money. :)
I'll get there some day 🤞 thanks for giving the video a shot! Can't wait for you all to see the next one :)
Almost 600 subs!
Thanks, that was a helpful review.
No problem!! Thanks so much for checking out the video ❤️
Such a fun game! I look forward to playing it again 🤩
Thank you for this video 🙇♂ I find your review spot on. The combat loop is indeed wonderful. The rulebook and board issues are indeed there but they're not game breaking
Thanks so much for giving it a... watch! 😎
Good review..... thanks for your thoughts on this, very helpful !
Glad to hear it!! 🙌
I just found the game at GenCon, tried it and fell in love with it. The best part, which is what prompted me to buy it, was that they had an insane discount for buying the whole set of games which also included the deluxe version of the OG game! Definitely a great find
That is awesome! Great way to buy in for sure. I'll be curious to hear which of the characters become your favorites as you play! I'm a big fan of the Heretic :)
Slay the Spire!!! Such a good game. Love your thoughts on it!
Ew bunions! Gross. But good to know, great review. Also Quacks? Should you review that? 🤔 sounds interesting
We've got a video about Quacks releasing this Friday, actually! stay tuned 🎶
You should ... aSpire... to play the video game at some point. Great review. Summed it up precisely and entertainingly, as always.
Thanks for giving it a look 😎 and we LOVED your video about it, as well! Lots of great (and entertaining) commentary 😊
@@JumbleAndGaff Thank you my friends! I love how different our styles are. I feel like I'm the Bob Newhart show at 8pm, followed by you guys as the prime time Tonight Show at 10pm. Everybody wins! ;)
Great review! I had been thinking to myself "Why would I want to buy this when I already own the video game and have put about 50hrs into it over 5 years?" I think you've answered my question.
Nobody breaks down / explains / reviews games better than J&G. Keep it up!
Thanks so much! ❤️❤️
The rules are it WORST PART we fight over these Very Vauge rules all the time ..if that is the case that make this game trash. Not fun fighting all the time with friends over short rules ..most the time we just all quit .. example, your planning cards, give you the option of placing troops and placing things. But for some reason, placing and deploy is two different definitions for rules but the cards its different.. Then it not ..WTF They need to be one set of rules for everything ON THIS gunnery ...different... Its cause many fights .. . How you deploy troops and how you deploy leaders .. Chopoers .. Miners Not one card I can find just says deploy chopper ..mining ..troops or a leader ...its always place ... Shitty rules..
Love the art on this one!
Definitely a weird little game, but I found it grew on me over time as I figured out the different character strengths!
I have played it twice and both times were challenging for different reasons. I am determined to beat the Boss and will definitely play it again!
Sounds like s game that requires commitment, time, and a little sacrifice.
nice review! which sleeves are you using?
Thanks! The cards in this video are in Mayday standard 56 x 87mm sleeves. They're on Amazon: www.amazon.com/Mayday-Games-Purple-Label-56mmx87mm/dp/B002QXSOCK/ They're super cheap, but pretty thin. After as many plays as my copy has sustained over the years, they've taken quite a beating. Gamegenic has some that are a little more expensive but a little beefier: www.amazon.com/Extra-Clear-Optimized-Standard-Protection-Gamegenic/dp/B084TM7XRF
Jarom??? Glad to see you're doing well for yourself! 😂
Oh my goodness! Hi!!!! ❤️
woah, thats a great cat right there
She's the best 😍
Fantastic format for expansion review. Had a blast watching.
Thanks so much! 🙌
Thanks for the review! Great one. 😊
Great review 🎉 Keep up the great work 🍻
thank you so much!!! ❤
I would like to add this one to our game collection. Thanks for the clarification on the title and for the helpful review. 😊
Always looking for good games to take on trips, this seems like a great one thanks for the recommendation!
Legion? Wait, they're still putting out new minis?
Yup! They shut down X-Wing and Armada, but Legion is still ticking :) This one came out in 2020, and I think they're set to release some Bad Batch minis later this year 😎
Legion? Wait, they're still putting out new minis?
Yup! They pulled the plug on X-Wing and Armada, but Legion is still alive, at least for the time being 🤞
I love these reviews. So articulate and funny… Keep it up!
Thank you so much!!
Herschel doesn't deserve your hate! I thought it was a fun, quick game. A fun balance of adding to your own rep while attempting to undermine your fellow players rep with her majesty. Recomenned.
Thank you for the review. The sound quality requires improvement though..
Thanks for checking out the video! We hope it was helpful :) and thanks for the note about the sound! This was our very first video (I shot it on an iPhone 8 lashed to a light stand 😂), and thus the sound quality is low. That IS something we addressed in our later videos, so those should be better!
Did you know Darwin once once rode a beetle. That beetle's name was George Orwell and thats how we got 1984
HOW DID I NOT SEE IT BEFORE?? It was right there in front of me the whole time 😭
Haven't heard much about this one, looks CUUUUUTE!
It's a great time! And the cats are adorable 😊

Earth fact: dying is sometimes bad
That's not what the mold told me 🤔
The theme is what grabbed me here, thanks for getting into the gnitty gritty of this game. I've heard that the game time is pretty abrasive, and that's what has kept me away from this. How did you find your play time with Sand with 3 or 4 people? Be don't be DaRUDE (Sandstorm) with your reply. Hope my puns wormed into your brain. Ok bye.
Unbridled puns will always received a worm welcome around these parts. Sand's theme is the crucial part of the game for me, as well-- the worm rider dynamic is a lot of fun! With 3-4 people, the length comes in between 2.5-3 hours, usually, though I have had a game go past 3.5 (that was with 4 players, 1 of whom is a particularly thoughtful fellow 😝). Mapping out efficient routes is critical to gleaning success from the game, and folks tend to spend a LOT of time thinking out turns as a result. My personal favorite experience is with 2, but I enjoy playing with 3, as well-- it can get wonderfully vicious 😈 (songs get more important/more contested with more players).
Hey mate, you're doing excellent work here and you don't have enough views or subscribers for the work you're putting in. So, don't mind me as I put a bunch of videos on leave a comment on each one. You deserve it. It can be hard but keep it up!!!
We appreciate the love and good vibes 🙌🙌 that is HUGE for us, thanks a million 😭
Been playing a lot of imperium on my iPad and i love it and now want a physical version. Maybe I’ll buy uprising instead of the original. At one point it would be cool two own both since thematically it’s like owning both Dune movie BluRays.
What do the different cards mean? The tiller, the mermaid, cannon, etc How do you know if you won the trick? What are the three cards in front of the players next to the board? It looks like you had a fun time playing 😊
It was a great time! thanks for checking out our little video :) Those cards are reference cards, just to help us remember what all of the symbols n stuff were about. And the winner of the trick is the person who played the card with the highest number on it, in the color that was played first!
Delightfully entertaining as always. Did you get the game on.... sail? "Squishy, Moist Bosom... " Iconic.
Arrrrharrr old shipmate! Alas, we paid full booty for this one. And then the Kraken collected from us the ultimate booty, I'm a-feared.... the ones our mothers gave us 💀 arrrharrharr 🏴☠️ *assorted pirate noises*
