Quinns: "Come to Mexico with me."
Me: "Okay."
I appreciate the Go-lite feel the game has. Especially that bit in the beginning like "wtf are those going to do" only to later come back with an "uh. right."
My board game purchase policy is if the art is boring, and the concept sounds boring, the gameplay is probably great.
Why hello Nations, didn't see you there.
Azul?
What the heck is this GO game...?
Well, that's a good way to miss out on a ton of good games.
This still has to be one of my favorite videos of vintage SU&SD
Right on the mark, Q&M. I played a friend's old copy and it was really fun. Glad that I will be able to pick up a copy of my own with the re-release.
Oh man, I was laughing so hard at the Aztec party jokes 😂😂😂
From what I understand, it's the third in a trilogy of games. Tikal and Java are the other ones in the series.
nobblemen?
"Hallo everyone!"
Great game. SUSD reviews are my favorite. Just a note - at 5:08 I see 2 illegal bridge (or subsequent canal) placements.
Police is on their way. Please remain calm.
I greatly respect that you decided against making a joke and stuck to your guns on that. I know it sucks to cut stuff when you put effort into it, but When a joke isn't good for whatever reason, I respect that you are willing to make those cuts.
That is assuming the joke *isn't* that it was cut. Think about it: any joke about Aztec party they could make would never be as funny as one in peoples minds so, why not just put a simple text on screen saying "we cut this joke", letting people fill in how humorously inapproriate it is?
It's like the joke: What do you call an arab flying a plane? A pilot. What did you expect, you racist?
There was a genocide. I didn't know how to tell you.
The intro was so intriguing.
I feel sad that it's no longer a "mask" game with tikal and java. Those guys look killer on my shelf.
Hey guys just wanted to say it's Mexica as in "me-shi-ca" and tenochtitlán with the stress in the last A
Love the content
Have we revoked your british card yet for called The Doctor, Doctor Who?
*Stops video and **0:48** and digs out passport*
I can't wait for a review of santarini from you guys just for the bad humor and great filming.
This is so cool. Thank you for letting us know about this game.
Am finally getting into board games with meeples. I guess miniatures are not all.
I must know the name of that song. Without it, I cannot party Aztec style.
I too require the song.
Hotel Mexicana i think
It's Sandstorm by Darude.
"Nice Aztech Party" footage cancelled.
This much smiling makes my cheeks hurt.
Tikal vs Mexica vs Cuzco comparison please
These guys.... as always.... they know what they're doing
Superb review guys! One question pls. Between Mexica and Tikal which would be your choice? Thank you!
can you review Tzolk'in: The Mayan Calendar please?
No video review, but Quinns has a written one. www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-02-06-tzolkin-the-mayan-calendar-review
Yep, nice, 100% agree with your first 50 secs. Nice observation.
Spyro/crash fusion for the GBA was their crossover and it was alright for a gba game.
I /think/ it's supposed to be pronounced something closer to MeSHEEkah. Though given the general paucity of 21st century Aztecs, I suppose you probably won't get many complaints.
People still speak Nahuatl/Pipil
Great opening metaphor
I have the old edition. It is nice it is getting a rebirth
the moment that ziggarut hit the table.... Sploosh
This game seems a bit like Carcassonne, which I am also thinking about getting and have never played. Which is better/how are they different?
carassonne involves placing 2d features on a board via tiles and scoring points for how big or long the features are but you can (and should try to) share features with other players either by co-operation and agreement or force.
This game involves placing 3d pieces for points to control areas (in a more typical area control method) but you must consider movement of your central player piece which is restricted by building placement.
get this one
Being from México, i would've loved to see the aztec dance
In Texas we have a town called Mexia pronounced "Meh-hey-ya," so every time I hear it pronounced with an "x" sound, it really throws me off.
"welcome to the hotel Mexicana"
I swear I've seen this review before.
march 25 2016?
they decided to revive their youtube channel, and have been migrating old videos back to youtube.
It looks like Brendan has been messing with the space time continuum. Again. Cheeky little scamp.
this is too funny
The fact you guys bought this!! In a shop!! On a whim!! Oh em Gee. Do you think this is even possible now?
just FYI it's pronounced ME-SHI-KA
Reminds me of Tikal
Mexica has thousands of hearts....
that were cut out of screaming sacrifices
Not trying to justify what the Spanish conquistadors did, but the Aztecs weren't exactly nice, terrorizing other Mesoamerican city states and making tens of thousands of gruesome human sacrifices. Some city states like Tlaxcala joined Cortez and helped him take Tenochtitlan in 1521.
I hope they pay you because I bought the game as I'm watching this. Time to party in the dark.
Paul made it LOL
Nobblemen!
Mexican here, Tenochtitlan still exist, it's just called Mexico City now. Don't get me wrong, the mexican genocide committed by the spaniards was a horrible crime, but the point is that the city still exists
About Tenochtitlan, there was no genocide. There was a war. Spaniards won in alliance with the tlaxcaltecas and others mexica's enemies people. Mexicas lost, were almost annihilated and spanish and tlaxcaltecas took their place. So if you are from Mexico City, it's probably that you descend from spanish, tlaxcaltecas or both.
@@narfnarf2549 90% of the population of the american continent died, that is a genocide
@@falnica Genocide requires intent. The overwhelming majority of indigenous Americans died off from the accidental introduction of Old World diseases.
@@VinnyBloo In "A brief account of the destruction of the indies" Bartolome de las Casas says that since first contact around 50 million people have died in the Americas. 38 million died because of natural causes he says, but 12 million were killed by the europeans because of their policy of extermination, which he also describes in the book. It's the stuff of nightmares, read it yourself
So yeah, the majority of people in the Americas indeed died because of illnesses, but millions still died because they were murdered, and that's a genocide
Knoblemen
Show us the Aztec party or we riot.
Nice review. But with the point of the spanish destroying the city and genocide is not intierly correct. Although the spanish were the reason it happend they were only with around 500 conquistadores. Most of the army consisted of natives from vassals of the aztecs. These vassals were unhappy with the aztecs thus the reason they helped. And this i dont know for certain but i believe the killing was mostly done by the natives themself.
Read the history, the Aztecs had it coming to them. So many skulls from those the sacrificed that they put them on giant racks so they could be admired by future generations, or something. Speaking of which, where are the skull racks in this game?th-cam.com/video/EEGrrr3wIXQ/w-d-xo.html
You guys do know that the Aztecs enslaved thousands and ritual sacrificed them by cutting their beating hearts out, right? Just saying, this isn't exparte- both factions, Spanish and Aztec, have some serious flaws. I mean, what do you think the Aztecs did? Have cabana parties all day? 3:05 They got that gold through slave labor. FYI, interesting fact, they did not use gold as money...they used chocolate.
And they had huge ritual ceremonies were they killed thousands. The only reason the Spaniards were able to defeat them was because the other natives hated the murdering Aztecs. No need to whitewash anyone.
legolasegb and the decimation of the native population by small pox.
First? O views n likes? well ok
In doctor who, the main character is called The doctor. (Not doctor who)
