Let's play Count The Times Quinns Calls This Undaunted
OH NO
Thought it was just me.
is it 3 times?
I thought it was a bit.. was waiting for a payoff that never came!
He blundered on undaunted, not caring the game he reviews and the game he says he's reviewing are unmatched.
This has awakened a desire to see bruce lee punch a velociraptor that I thought i suppressed long ago
LOL
😂
unfortunately he would probably lose :( but i really want him to win cause it would be cool
What business does a tabletop game review channel have being so funny and entertaining?! I recently got into tabletop gaming with my kids in lockdown, and found this channel to give me some ideas; I didn't expect to find a new favorite comfort viewing channel. Lol
Robin Hood vs King Arthur vs Sherlock Holmes for the ultimate British Icon? Hell yes. 🇬🇧
Yes, I'm sure that will be a tense and balanced battle.
...until they release the Miss Marple character pack.
Can't wait until they release Bridget Jones
Vs Scarlet Pimpernel...?
And Alice isn't included in this...why?
Tiara Azmalan Fair point!
"taking a chance is fun.. is the foundation of everything, from poker, tinder, to democracy" 😅😅😅 so true!!
Best quote ever.
The Tinder Murder and Trump rubbing hands Mr Burns style: " Excellent. "
love that line
Bruce Lee vs Robin Hood was an amazing match, where my buddy playing as Bruce chewed through my merry men in his pursuit of punching my hooded self in the face.
"we can look forward to a buffy the vampire box"
apparently im still 16 because that missing word made me chuckle.
Interesting review, even if you did call it Undaunted one too many times. Don't entirely agree with some matches being clear cut too early - as that hasn't been our experience - but even if they are, the game plays quick so you're never far away from another match, another combo. I've been blown away by how good Unmatched is and will gladly throw money at any expansion they release.
Wow the simple black shading/wash/dip on the grey plastic makes them look so much more detailed than the regular grey plastic on other games. Maybe I should go dip all my blood rage figures lol.
The pie chart definitely proves the awesomeness of this game. Thanks for that, Quinns.
I'm concerned and intrigued by strip Ethnos.
I'm concerned about your name
@@Revellated... Ah beans.
So happy you guys reviewed this! My mum actually found this because she's subscribed to Mondo, and I thought "Eh, that looks alright." But now it's become one of my favourite games of all time for its versatility, ease-of-access twinned with surprisingly strategic complexity at higher levels of play, art style, time to teach and play, theming (Robin Hood being based around card draw BECAUSE HE'S DRAWING ARROWS FROM A QUIVER is one of my favourite pieces of crunch meets fluff yet conceived), all of it. I groaned as soon as you pulled out the Jurassic Park expansion, curse you for getting your grubby mitts on it early! ;)
You've hit the nail on the head with the collecting thing; I really hope Restoration continue to innovate and really push the boundaries of the hero abilities. Someone made a fan Expansion called Minotaur and the Labyrinth which adds wall tokens to block your opponent, which is just a taste of the sorts of rules they could drip-feed into the game, making it more and more advanced over time. Really hope it's something that proves popular enough to warrant sets for years to come.
They are adding more elements to the maps, in the Jurassic Park one they are one way arrows for example that can only be bypassed by "large heroes" (trex wink wink) and in a future one that i playtested they are doors that can be closed and opened.
you had my attention when pulling off the one-breath-rules-rundown! really impressive indeed 👍😅
The minis look so nice I wouldn’t even want to paint them!
Hahaha...said no model painter...Ever. Mini painters wanna paint everything from these minis to Mice and Mystics minis.
Minis need painting...😊😊
Wow this looks so fun and stylish, I hope they could possibly get the Star Wars IP back into it
Bloody doubt it with the shackles of Disney around it haha
I wonder if anyone has done conversion rules for epic duels. As someone who has epic duels I’ll probably be doing that if I don’t find one
With Ellie vs T-Rex coming out after this might just end up being a good Jurassic Park fighter.
Great stuff, this feels like a perfect game for a SU&SD play through with it’s speed and simplicity.
Other board game reviewers: *puts cards in sleeves*
Shut Up and Sit Down: *pours popcorn into board game*
At least he didn’t smash it with a mallet like dice tower do
5:00 He calls it Undaunted... twice
It's like your lover yelling someone else's name in bed. A bit off-putting, but if they're sexy then you can forgive them.
To make this game SMASH all others, the “primary” player that bring the game to the table should take a very important stance that will ALWAYS produce a positive game experience... The challenge to the “primary” player is to strategically make everyone else win the game.
"Have you ever wanted to pitch Bruce Lee vs the raptors from Jurassic Park?"
Literally everyone and their dogs: Now I do
Spoiler: Bruce Lee destroys Raptors. Canon.
Thank you SO MUCH for this recommendation Quinns!!! I got the cobble and fog set yesterday and I have played like 10 times! This game is awesome!!!!!!!
"Taking a chance is fun; it's the foundation of everything, from poker to Tinder to democracy." ----- Smith 2020
"Buffy the vampire"
*typing sounds intensify*
Get down, the commenters are coming!
Some people satisfy themselves with "#1 Dad," but Quinns will settle for nothing less than "Total Fox."
Cleanliness of eroticism: Yes.
One small mistake, if you can’t draw cards each of your fighters takes 2 damage, not 1.
Absolutely loved Star Wars Epic Duels...that game got us hooked in Highschool around 2002 and our boardgame group continues to play any chance we got when home from college and finally died out around 2013. That's one hell of a run.
The most fun comes from creating your own customer character and custom decks.
And yes....this art is wonderful.
A Doom Marine add-on for this would be hilarious.
RIP AND TEAR!
Oh now that's just unfair. I want it.
Best Undaunted review i have seen.
Watched a bunch have you? None of them told you the right name?
@@ronaldbell7909 5:19 or 5:00 he says Undaunted...
This game is HELLISHLY fun to homebrew stuff four. Me and a few friends have homebrewed everyone from The Doctor to various Warhammer characters we had to hand, to loads of other creations.
of course quinns says amongus when i'm reading this
Umm.. thanks to Ray Harryhausen I absolutely do know and love Sinbad!
I didn't realise that a SU&SD gag involving a chunky Lothian bus is what I needed to see today. Thank you ❤️🚍
Star Wars epic duels is one of my favorite games it looks awesome that they are modernizing the rules. This is now on my want list.
The Data Dump Chart checks out, I do think about death at about a rate of 2.
Would love to see an update on the collection! 😁 Great review
After watching this video I'm forever going to describe Unmatched as "crunchy". Probably the best synonym to describe how the gameplay feels 😂 Been playing online with friends and it's a breeze to explain even via videocall
So this is pretty much the board game equivalent of 'The Deadliest Warrior'? I'm in!
Has anyone ever told you Quinns that you're such a great seller, and my wallet hates that.
It's true. Stephen Merchant "sonnuvabitch" levels of selling.
New video reviews from SU&SD and NPI on the same day? I must have an extra birthday I did not know about with such gifts.
So hey. Our lovely fellas have reviewed Unmatched. They've reviewed Combo Fighter. I'd personally love it to bits if they reviewed the Exceed Fighting System. Specifically any season of the game after the first, because Season 1 was as dull as a rusty spade and twice as unappealing. Everything after that will serve as the greatest kind of "Fighting Game Card Game" one could ask for, in my opinion.
You called it undaunted
and cobble and smog
while I was thinking of Undaunted: Normandy
He did it multiple times. It’s awesome
You had me at "upcoming Buffy expansion."
This channel got me into board games. Thanks guys.
I will support them. WOW Raptors is $10.97 for shipping. Being released late march and will have July 7th. Thank you.
The premise of this game sounds a lot like a game called Dungeon Mayhem, with art by the wonderful Kyle Ferrin, except with an area movement mechanic to add that little extra it may have been missing!
Also, oh boy, the art on these cards are incredible!
1:34 "Cobble and SMOG", an ec(k)ocritically freudian slip! Great review, love it;o)
5:17 that awkward moment when you forget what game you're playing.
Total Fox? I used to dance under that name.
There's a 50% chance I want to see that video.
Here I thought you danced under "Dirt Tornado." You're a man of many hats, Efka.
@@nicholascamarata8883 it could be Elaine. But we all know its Efka.
I love the tension when Quinns puts his tea atop the game boxes........so calm and nonchalant. What a rockstar!!
_How would you devise a rule of thumb to finish the match earlier when it becomes unlikely one of the players has a chance to win, instead of exclusively waiting for the actual default end of the game?_
Wouldn't it make matches fun all the way, while still allowing you to potentially play more times?
Just like Magic, where you can concede (scoop) at any point? That's probably how I'd play with my friends
This game has been such a great addition to our shelf. Can't wait for the first Jurrassic Parks set.
Sooooo, "Epic Rap Battles of History: The Board Game".
This is a neat idea, but there are already entire forums dedicated to theorycrafting out these scenarios. I already know that Medusa beats Robin Hood, but Jackie Chan holding a baby in an alleyway with stepladders around manages to take her down afterwards.
Edit: Thank you for the shoutout, Quinns.
Quintin Smith, you deserve more subscribers. And great stuff guys, I enjoy all of your video reviews.
*cries in Unmatched being $50 and $80 instead of $20 and $30*
I loved Epic Duels. We played it so much that we started making our own characters, but they were never very balanced.
We made: Link and Zelda, Solid Snake and (cardboard box was op), and a necromancer with his skeletal archers.
Anthony Westbrook there are expansions online. They are unofficial of course but playtested well and balanced.
As I was born and raised in the part of the world in which the mighty Jackalope is a thing, I was going to be very concerned for about two minutes when the camera hovered over a large, hairy, man-monster with a card under it that said "Jackalope."
My brain said, "That's not what a Jackalope looks like!" (Because of course I've seen one) Then I realized that our be-antlered hare friend was actually Bigfoot's sidekick in the game. My impression went from, "WTH?!" to "That is an amazing idea and I love it!"
My only concern is with the potential dissonance due to the fact that the Jackalope is being paired with a clearly fictional character. If you can get past that, though, this sounds great.
4:35 Quinns forgot what game he was reviewing
An ennui of 6 seems a bit low. Can you recommend something with a higher ennui rating?
Risk.
Holding On: The Troubled Life of Billy Kerr
The assymetric characters and the artwork reminds me of Disney villainous
5:01 He keeps calling it undaunted! (From the review of Undaunted normandy?) ha
I'm now obsessed by 'Strip Ethnos'! I once played Strip Pass The Pigs after a student Rocky Horror party but thought extreme age and Brass had cured me of such perversions. It seems not!
2:06 "Strip" Ethnos... Hmmm. Intriguing.
Thank you! The next time I play Unmatched I will tke a chance and use the game box as a popcorn bowl
Wow, this looks amazing, Thx Quinns!
Holy shit, that Zee Garcia disrespect at the end data dump 😂
That was the video that sealed the "before the lockdown" part of 2020, I presume...
Here in 2022 when he says Bruce Lee at $10 is a bad value! As I look at eBay with that $10 set going for over $200🤣
Cleanliness : 10 Theres no dirt in that box
Just butter from the popcorn
4:37 and 5:00- Undaunted?
I had to rewind to be sure, but it looks like they have mixed and matched their reviews 😅
Chris X you know... flashbacks :)
God I loved Duels so much. I still have my copy with all the custom characters I created for it
Restoration games is running a contest to design your own character for Unmatched. Maybe time to dust those off and submit one?
So glad the old font is back fellas
This game looks absolutely awesome but I live in Germany so I guess it's going to be a long while until we - the unprivileged part of the board game world - get to play this gem...
winner of [Skull], plays first roll of [Shut the Box], has the OPTION of moving 1st in [Quoridor]...ready go...
[code phrase]:
"The Skull is to Shut the Box, in the Quoridor
One thing this review neglects to mention: this is one of the best 1 vs. 1 experiences you can have in board games. The amount of expansions at this point gives it almost a "pay to win" feel, but you could have great fun with a single 4-player set. Every set after that only enriches the experience.
Came just to say the game is now called undaunted and the Sherlock Holmes set is called Coble and smog 😂 love your channel and love this game
Epic... Epic DUELS!!?! My favorite half strategy/half chance killing romp game from my childhood??! TAKE MY MONEY!
The Bruce Lee scene in OUATIH was Cliff's fantasy, not an actual representation of Tarantino's view of the man. He was actually busy fixing the aerial.
Waiting on my Deadpool from Miniature Market, Pre Ordered Volume 2 the instant it was available because Bloody Mary is a thing and *that* is appealing. Still looking forward to the Jurassic Park expansions, Sattler vs T-Rex for the first large character, and solo Grant, as well as the Marvel 3 character boxes.
"Had to figure out that age with a website" is way too real for me. 36 btw, who knew?
I 1000% agree that this game is not as clever as it initially seems
My friends and I have fallen in love with it lately, and part of what we love is the fundamentally silly nature of it's premise. We recently played a 5 way game (yes I know it's not strictly in the rules don't @ me) of Raptors vs Achilles vs Yennenga vs Sherlock Holmes vs The Invisible Man. It makes no sense, and despite there being 1 raptor with 2 health left before anyone died, he came second by ducking and weaving
If you haven't tried it yet, while this game is good 1v1, we have found in 3 and 4 way games is where it most shines!
The music during the data dump... I've heard it somewhere before... In a visual novel... A gay, furry visual novel...
I get a lot of my dragon V Spider-Man type buzz fulfilled with dice masters but this could be interesting
Dammit, I already know I'm gonna sink a ton of cash in this for the mini and artwork and barely take it out because of my group/group size.
Thanks for producing this video!
Oh boy! Dice throne minus dice, plus a map! Im in
How did you already get the raptor set!!!
Great review and thank you for not destroying one of my favorites.
I have been waiting for that set forever, Since it was announced at GenCon.
I bought mine on ebay. Someone was selling them. Said to arrive little over a week from now. I paid like 10 dollars more.
5:18 undaunted?
Thanks for the video! I have a few sets now... Ok, I have to.
Cobble and 'Smog'? 1:42
take 1 damage? 3:10
'Undaunted'? 4:34
gamer's brain happening here! Too funny!.. Or perhaps a bit of oxygen deprivation..?
I'm thoroughly enjoying this game. I have 3 sets.
Question for the channel -
I love rpg board games and the depth they offer, like gloomhaven.
But
I hate magic and I don't even want to see any.
What options do I have for rpg boardgames?
Thanks again for the content!
Between The King's Dilemma and this review, you've been upping your patterned shirt game, Quinns. I like it!... but you're also setting a dangerous precedent going forward. You won't be able to back down now.
Why Edinburgh’s Lothian buses?? They’ve only occasionally run me over.
Unmatched or Super Fantasy Brawl?
3:21 using a website is painfully relatable...
Thanks for another great and funny video. Like in 7:08 "you can play with idiots or kids or idiot kids" 😂
Next Unmatched box I would like to see Iron Man vs. Shreck or Flash vs. Alien. I would buy these right away.
Calico looks like a fun game to buy, since I like cats.
What is your recommendation for an involved, complicated, 2-player fighting game?
Warhammer.
Battlecon
Looks so fun! HATE the boards though. Those circle spaces are far far too big
Found it way too simple personally, but good gateway game for sure. I'd say most of Level 99's or Sirlin Games' catalogue are good for cheap duelling games, or KS behemoths like Mythic Battles or TMNT for big mini ones.
So what would you recommend as a involved 2-player fighting game with a richer experience?
Undaunted is a lot deeper, but its historical theme
Battle Con „War of Indines“ or so
Hope they release a Chuck Norris box. And of course, Jackie Chan :D
