- In this CHUNKY video review, Tom and Quinns are appraising ten (ten!) unique small-box games and telling YOU where the gems are at. All of these games are fabulous, we had a blast playing them, and we hope you enjoy this frankly rather silly little video.

Always love the "will they or won't they (physically harm each other)" energy that Tom and Quinns videos radiate
I thoroughly enjoyed watching enthusiastic dad and post-modern son on their 10-game game-adventure.
With a secret 11th adventure! That's quite good! Like ketchup mouthwash.
Tom's actually post-post modern
With Quins as the son? Got it.
@@mrbismarck NEIN!
There were only 10 Games!
Tom and his dad are having such a great time in this video!
I say it all the time, but adding Tom to the team is SU&SD's greatest ever masterstroke. The guy is pure comedy gold.
He genuinely is, he's quickly become the absolute star of the group
his video about Nisei / Netrunner is the reason I have 5 boosters and the original base set haha
I love Quinns being eternally bewildered by Tom's eldritch powers of editing
I half expected in the first cut to them being some place different for Quinns to ask how he got there.
He's done it to Matt before, so it serves him right.
The quality of these videos is just miles and miles ahead of all other channels. It's ridiculous and I love it. I have to watch every video immediately. If there are other ways to express my excitement I don't know them yet, so feel free to add in your own.
Tom's videos are often like a fever dream, and this feels like the first time Quinns has been trapped in one of said dreams. Godspeed.
omg what if tom but cool ghosts??
@@beirutmc Oh man, cool ghosts. I remember Cool Ghosts. Thank you for reminding me of cool ghosts.
I love the chemistry between you guys. Including the parts in which the chemistry is nitroglycerin
I very much enjoy the reversed power dynamic of this video. Also really appreciate Tom being such a rapscallion
'Rapscallion' is a word I haven't heard for a while.
@@cliffhughes6010 But he was the cook on The Elaine, along with Young Lindy, the Cabin Boy, Rum Rogers, Sr, the First Mate and Captain Marley. ;)
@@greensleevez Oh yes, I remember now.
I can't. Get over. How just gosh darn amazing Tom is. His writing and editing has been mind blowing from the beginning. The whole SUSD crew has always been absolutely delightful but I'm really glad they have a Tom that can be let loose focusing on the production process.
One of there best videos. Banter between Tom and Quins is amazing.
1:54 - "What are you for?" is a great insult. Right up there alongside "What's the point of you?"
This was excellent, thank you! And despite being 100% its own thing (keep sharing your unhingedness with us Tom, it's great!), it reminded me of the vibe of SUSD early seasons? Unsettling framing narrative surrounding little reviews? Hell yes!
Great chemistry on screen. ❤
As an old man in my gaming group myself, I can relate to Quinn's mocking the youngster Tom. 😂
Tom’s Twilight Inscription review was a 💎! Couldn’t stop laughing 😂
I love the sibling rivalry mood of this one so much
Your chemistry keeps me coming back for years. Such a wonderful show
It must be said that the way you bring together informative reviews with entertainment is simply awesome. 🔥
Spots makes me want a fabulous puppy coat.
Tom makes me think more and more of a trickster god, toying with the other reviewers
I love it where the roles are reversed and Tom just immediately presses the airhorn, no warnings, no conditions. It's the perfect example of his personality where rules and logic are just silly little gimmicks for him to flaunt over
I was able to find Spots and For the Queen! Never played a game like For The Queen before. Now I just have to find people who are willing to give it a go. Thank you for your videos. I look forward to them.
Hi, I'm the designer of FtQ - thank you so much for picking up the game! I'm dropping in to your comment to say I originally playtested it with my dad, his partner, and my little sister... none of whom had played an RPG before! I really keep first-time gamers in mind with my designs :)
@@AlexRoberts , Hi! Thank you for the reply. That’s good to know. My son (college-age) and husband seem willing to give it a go. I love the art work. I see you’ve also created games based on The Dresden Files, one of my and my son’s favorite book series! Very cool. Thanks again.
I thought the energy from the "Oath" review could not be replicated. But Tom really do be like that all the time.
Good stuff. Keep it up.
Quinns muttering before For Sale had me pausing to laugh
I replayed that part at least 10 times before watching the rest 😂
OMG! So glad to see you guys back with a new video! I cannot get enough of SU&SD!!
I love that you finally covered For Sale. To me it is hands down the best gateway game ever and among my top ranked games ever due to the 'ohno!' 'oh my GOODNESS YESSS' moments that are present in every single game.
I have gifted more copies of this game than awkward hugs to the inlaws (although those are easily avoided since the pandemic, so perhaps I need another analogy) and I love it to bits. I actually have specifically bought the travel edition in the US (not available in mainland Europe) just so I could carry a copy with me in most of my outdated coats that I keep wearing, just because of pocket size and familiar smell.
I love your small game roundups!
Backed 'Voyages', and very glad I did! 'For the Queen' reminds me of 'A Quiet Year', and I'm definitely putting it on my wish list
Hi, I'm the designer of FtQ - I'm honestly so flattered you made that comparison because A Quiet Year, and Avery Alder's work in general, has been a huge inspiration to me!
I adore the energy of Tom and Quinn's together the way it cuts somewhere between goofing off between friends and a little brother/older brother style winding each up other.
Also Quinn's doesn't know Camera's or Quinn's knows exactly how to ensure the focus is on him :D
Quinns (looking at camera): "...lil nerds at home."
Me: "SENPAI HAS NOTICED ME!"
LOved the spots transition
I am only 18 minutes into this 23 minute video and already - in a crowded field - it's a strong contender for the funniest video SUSD have ever made. I've lost count of the number of genuine burst-out-laughing moments. Bravo guys.
All the pro Tom comments were written by Tom (including this one). Such a devious mastermind. Two Tom thumbs up!
Oh man, this one has barely started and it's already classic SUSD.
For Sale Pocket is where its at. Same great game in a lil tuckbox *chefs kiss*
I love the small form factor, but I also hate the tiny paper coins. Pros and cons!
"Did somebody say spots" transition was priceless 😂
I've played Twilight Inscription multiple times and me and my friends loved it! It's actually awesome.
It's fine!
It's north of average
The most entertaining SUSD review video…possibly ever? Really great job with gags, info and editing.
Just got Spots and its fantastic!! Thanks SUSD!
Spots is great! Hope more people discover it. Perfect to play with anyone from 5-99.
For me, still the best source of info and laugh out loud humor. Thanks, guys.
I think we needed one millisecond of Quinns screaming in a dungeon at the very end of the video, but otherwise a perfect video. Spots is the one I wound up wanting the most. For Sale is already in my collection, and I love it. Also, I dislike Magic the Gathering and Worldbreakers looks boring to me, but I LOVE Radlands. So what does it all mean? Something very, very significant, for sure. Absolutely.
Played For the Queen ages ago - so glad to be reminded of it (and very hopeful to actually find it in stock this time around~)
The energy and excitement of these two are beyond adorable.
Quinn's introduction "He's here too" has serious Barbie vibes and i adore it❤
For the Queen would be an amazing DnD session. Like "You are all accompanying the Queen on a months long trip, after 2 months of your journey you sit by the fire and think to yourself *game*" It'd be a refreshing session, jumpstart PC driven character dev, and lead into a hell of a combat.
This video just radiates rapid shared descent of roommates into madness energy - I LOVE IT!
I'll definitely have to keep hungry monkeys in mind, it's based on a card game we all loved to play, and the art looks quite amazing.
what card game is it based on?
@@JuniperHatesTwitterlikeHandles In the video, he compares it to Sh*thead or Palace (but aka Shed or Karma). It also seems really close to a drinking card game I used to love playing called Presidents and A**holes.
I've heard multiple names and a few variations in the rules, but sadly can't recall any of the names.
Just seems weird to me to spent the money on special cards when you could easily play with normal deck
There was so much to love about this video! The wacky antics! The great editing! The verbose and comprehensive reviews on those treasureful games that required the extra attention when needed!
Quinns reactions to Tom really amped up the humor in this one. But Tom keeping things light, breezy, and altogether crazy is always welcome in every video he's in. They certainly also got me wanting to check out Worldbreakers, Trailblazers, and For The Queen, in particular.

I’ve never seen that edition of For Sale, but I really really want it now
Picked up Spots after watching, and it’s one of our new favs! So cute, quick, easy. At the end of each game we pick our favorite dog from our hands 🥰🐶
Such a good mix between humor and good reviews ❤ keep it up guys!
Tom and Quinns are my absolutely favourite duo of the show. I also didn't know Tom was so young!
Pay no attention to this comment Matt & Ava! 😮 Avert your eyes.
Loved this! Thank you. The double reviewer episodes are my favourite and seeing you wind each other up was the best giggles in a long while :-)
I'm glad everything shook out for SU&SD after the pandemic stuff, Tom is such a fantastic addition to the crew.
Great video, I love when I can learn about so many games at once.
The energy of this video is stellar and hilarious, it almost hides the absolute quality just seeping off these reviews, almost!
That was fantastic! Tom is getting funnier and more insane each video and I love it!
I always like the reviews with at least two of you. Way more fun. 👍
Excellent video, as usual! I've done a lot of editing and really appreciate the amount of work that went into this. Well done and thanks!
One of the funnier episodes, well done
Didn't even have a cup of tea in it. Not even close, mate.
@@Stomski you got me there, I concede
the twilight imperium R&W bit reminded me of Mitchell and Webb a lot
I like small boxes
Your interaction with each other in this video was really fun to watch, and the games look great!
Great work as always, Tom! And Quinns was also there!
I know without looking it's already been mentioned, but I've just rewatched the Twilight Inscription bit and it's my current favourite thing thank you SHUT UP & SIT. DOWN. and tom
This video is brilliant. The absurd comedy with helpful game info is just top notch
I really like Twilight Inscription. It's just the right amount of crunch with a TI theme. It's good
You already had me cracking up at "He's here too."
Great video! I go back and forth on card games that could be played with normal decks of cards, but are played with specially decorated decks that prevent them from being used for all the many different games you could play with a normal deck. The yokai game seems to avoid this by making each suit a little different, which speaks well of it. It's not my favorite theme, but it sounds fun. Thanks for recommending it!
Another great Tom video with Quinn along for the ride.
The energy of this video is beyond description, and I loved it!
Thank you for keeping us poor, small-homed people on your hearts and minds when you do these kinds of vids
This video was hilarious! Tom and Quinns' chemistry is really growing. I honestly spent the whole video laughing.
Still doesn't beat the Undaunted Stalingrad one :)
This had me in stitches 🤣
I love that I can't always tell if something is in the script or improve.
Will definitely keep some of these in mind. I saw For the Queen played on a charity live stream once. Looked fun but i wonder if it's changed since then
the vibe here is perfect - entertaining but not distracting. could be easy to go overboard and trample over the actual review but it’s just right.
Pure comedies very rarely make me laugh out loud, but SU&SD does it regularly with ease.
Signed,
A teeny tiny little nerd
Absolutely fantastic video! Has the feel of the old shut up and sit down with a modern twist 😮 I love it!!!
They just need to do a Catan gag at the end.
The airhorn gag was priceless - laughing out loud here.
Great list guys. I managed to order a few of these between fits of laughter.
The unhinged energy of this video is awesome. For The Queen is the game that looks most interesting to me. I love storytelling games like this. Call To Adventure is a favorite rpg type board game of mine, and I really enjoy CYOA/RPG gamebooks.
Perfect ending for 4/20 :) Thanks as always!
half expected that final bit to end with tom sounding the airhorn again
This was great! Definitely gave me several games to keep an eye out for.
Loved the editing and writing of this video alot! Really loving Tom's style in the new videos. I was also going to comment on tom and quinn's father son relationship but it looks like everyone already beat me to it haha
By far my favorite videos that y'all make are the ones where you were clearly having fun making them
Worldbreaker looks pretty dope, the art specially.
Absolute gold! 😂 Im very intrigued by the Queen now
“A good flavor confused by its format.”
Such a great quote 😂
I assume Tom does all of the video editing. I can imagine it is a thankless part of this job. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you Tom. I love your little gags. Keep it up!
22:13 that's not TYOV; that's the extra companion that I also got! I love the artistic meaning behind it! also it glows in the dark which is always cool
Oooh Trailblazers, seems up my alley. I love dropping horrific puzzles on my friends.
It kinda got tense at the end there lol 😅. Thanks for the great vid! Love your humor.
This was such a brilliant video. It made me laugh out loud so many times and made me want to buy so many games. Love this channel!
Quinn's faces at the start are just fucking gold, had me in tears.
Revolutionary, Napoleonic, civil?
Damn good review guys! Had me rolling 😁
love everything about this video! Tom & Quinns forever
Very fascinating. Glad I found your channel, nice SHORT reviews so I don't have to spend two years finding new games.
What a fantastic video! Top notch SU&SD.😊
Was totally waiting for the airhorn at the end.😂
