So tired of these bait and switches. Show us the game we really want reviewed, then switch it with a gag to some fun family game. We came for Beige Traders.
I wanted to know about Beige Traders! If it's Fun Month, then you need to bring us the beige! A game about people trading in purest beige can hardly get better for theme. If you must get side-tracked into talking about a game about doing the washing-up, and other such mundanities, then surely you could at least promise us to get back to the beige, with a link to what most people are going to want: the excitement, the familiarity, and the sheer potential of beige.
And apparently they are making a sequel dealing with treating patients in an ER. Just for when you weren't satisfied with just burning food if you fail, now patients can die!
I just want to acknowledge that the tax form at the start with the Beige Traders bit has this line in it: “Don’t make us get out the special custard cannon.” That is all. I rest my case.
There is a sequel to Kitchen Rush called Rush M.D., which is themed around a hospital and adds dexterity minigames! It is a little lighter than Kitchen Rush and fixes many of the problems with it.
This game gets to the table more often than Space Alert, and we love Space Alert. I think it's because it's a little easier to understand your task, and the difficulty ramps up in hilarious ways. New aliens are great, but "health inspector is coming, wash the damn dishes" is just funnier. Also, laying off employees is a moment nobody should miss. Also: Great and enjoyable review, thanks!
FYI US people, this is the revised edition which, according to what I've found, isn't out until Q2. It's easy to identify the revised edition by this cover
This is the type of unique gimmick based game my family is willing to play. Thanks for showing it off, Tom, I just purchased and look forward to sharing with the fam
Hi, Tom. Thanks for coming in. We wanted to go over the viewer feedback from this episode. It's really very positive, from a certain perspective. It says here *shuffles papers* that we had a 97% rewind rate for the end segment with the kitten, which indicates our viewers want to see more of that in future videos. Plus, the game analysis received the most significant "useful" rating of anything you've done so far. What? Oh, no, not _your_ analysis, but Punky Brewster's analysis. Young Brewster, yeah, that's what we meant. So we'll be replacing you with a kitten and a kid going forward, but at least your beard got uniform approval in the grooming demographic. Cheers! (All kidding aside, fun vid, thanks Tom!)
I both miss and don't miss working in a kitchen. Maybe it's enough to leave me fulfilled, or maybe it'll be enough to give me PTSD. Just need the ticket printer going in the background.
Amazing review as always! I know this is blasphemy but if this sounds like your kind of thing and you’re into video games, I would strongly recommend Overcooked & Overcooked 2. It’s literally this game but like on one of those screen things and you can play online during covid and (I think) they’re both on Xbox Game Pass
I'll add that Overcooked is one of the very few games with combo co-op, so two people on one console can play with two people on another console. It should be industry standard, but that extra flexibility makes it a lot easier to play with more people
We've already had one great new addition to SUSD in the past two years Tom, and now we're getting another one with Small Brewster? Ambassador, you're really spoiling us!
1. it's interesting seeing games that the podcast talked about years ago getting returned to now 2. i had a small heart attack when i thought the cat was being allowed to eat one of the wooden pieces
Great video Tom as usual! Just as a history lesson, this is a second edition. The first edition is only the version if the game that is at the end of the campaign (introduced in this version to be more family-friendly) and I've played it a lot, it definitely has longevity and there is a better, more cohesive rule book out there if you want to seek it out from BGG. There's also an expansion for that, so there's even more variety to come!
I don't know where you found Tom back in the day but I think you might have to put him back. I'm not sure the fabric of the universe can maintain its integrity with videos like this coming out!
Tom’s powers grow exponentially. Within two more reviews he will have exploded into an organic mass and then collapsed into a new universe like in Akira.
So Quinns has his box. Tom now has his cupboar-err, "Fun Zone". What does Matt have? I also hope Fun Month lasts twice as long as Chess Month. That's twice as many months!
"I don't have an outro planned, so here's me playing the game by myself" (Quinns pops out of the fun room) "DON'T YOU DARE. THAT'S MY GIMMICK!" "OK. Fine. I'll just show my cat.
As someone who's been cooking professionally for 20 years, I think this game looks like a romp, and a reasonably close facsimile to the hectic nature of the restaurant business. Definitely gonna check it out.
Fun Month indeed! So many good jokes: Beige Traders, the Fun Zone cupboard and the mid-review turn-around. The hits just kept on coming! Also was that a Los Campesinos! reference I caught in the "5 years later"-part?
I've thought about making my own board game. I've even figured out essentially how I'd like it to work. A little concerned about getting the number of locations right, though, and I'm not sure how I'm going to actually make the thing. Probably everyone'd hate it, anyway
Man, I really used to hate Tom, mainly because I applied for the internship as well and so pretty much hated everyone who got it since I didn't. But Tom is sooooo funny and clever with his reviews, his humour never distracts from the game, and is just my kind of humour. An amazing hire, and another great review. If Tom is reading this, he should be incredibly proud of the reviewer he has become. Top work.
Woooooo!!!!! Excellent! Super pleased having a cameo of a young woman, she did great! I hope for more cameos from younger people, older people, girls, boys, women, grandparents. :) Of the whole review was great - I wondered if it would be too easy with just 2 players but with the building stretching requirements I can see it being good :)
If you're looking for similarly themed games that also have a real time mechanic, Rival Restaurants is a good option. It's become one of my favorite board games in my collection
I will sit patiently for the Beige Traders review.
Lindybeige, the board game
@@brokenbbq *Flaming arrow*
_Has no effect_
Beige Traders. That’s the re-implementation of Beige Traders, right?
Agreed. Beige Traders looks lit.

Ha! My comment earlier in the thread was Lindybeige: The Boardgame
What about a game about the Lindyhop? Or Tango. Or Lindy-tango?
Well isn't this my favourite comment section crossover ever!
Bit late to the party but, I read this in your voice and heard it so clearly. Was rather startling actually.
I want a lindybeige/shut up and sit down crossover episode
Ah, so it’s Overcooked, the board game!
Damn, beat me to it.
Ditto.
Same experience, different theme? Try Rush M.D.
@@Calistake047 So, theme hospital/Two Point Hospital the board game?
Exactly what I was thinking!
"Fun Month" starting off with....
....a panic simulator?
😂😂 and this comment wins the internet today for me!
And apparently they are making a sequel dealing with treating patients in an ER. Just for when you weren't satisfied with just burning food if you fail, now patients can die!
@@TorIverWilhelmsen they did it some time ago. It was available in Essen in 2019.
@@karolwesoek5350 "some time ago"? that's only a handful of months, since 2020 didnt happen
Tom continues to deliver excellent work - shame he got so BADLY upstaged by Small Brewster this time round!
Not to mention Cat Brewster making a sneaky but impactful contribution towards the end.
I just want to acknowledge that the tax form at the start with the Beige Traders bit has this line in it:
“Don’t make us get out the special custard cannon.”
That is all. I rest my case.
Don't forget Dear Sir/Madam/Pear
What else would you expect from HM Revenue & Custards?
„one of the many great games my brother makes us play“ - damn, that’s so me ...
Lol I feel that after making my my family learn multiple different games during the holidays. Didn't help that I'm a lousy teacher xD
Yeah, I’m definitely the brother in that sentence.
@@longc35 I’m with you, brother.
"But are you real?" That got me. Thank you Tom for adding such delightful comedy and occasionally surreal skits to your reviews :)
As a person who has a beige cube as thier avatar, I feel personally attacked by this intro.
Sir/madam/pear, that's yellow
Hm. You want to trade two off-white cubes for your beige cube?
12:05 "It's 2026 and everything is the same" is -by a wide margin- the darkest thing that SUSD has ever said ever.
There is a sequel to Kitchen Rush called Rush M.D., which is themed around a hospital and adds dexterity minigames! It is a little lighter than Kitchen Rush and fixes many of the problems with it.
More Small Brewster’s Cool Boardgames Reviews please! ;)
Yes, loved this! Thank you small Brewster
"My brother makes us play" is telling hahah
5:20 What?! I was promised no engines.
Are you real?
Oh no.
*fades away*
The animated version of the dead-eyed cowboy from Great Western Trail is going to haunt my dreams
The gags are working Tom. Keep 'em coming! You're efforts don't go unnoticed
No, they really don't, at least not at the amount they are throwing them in.
But hey, to each their own.. 🤷🏿♂️
Fun month you say...?
**sadly slides Clans of Caledonia back onto the shelf**
Clans is always a fun time!

"Did the designer of Biege Traders tweet something racist again?"
More Small Brewster 80s themed reviews please.

Damn, this was such a good review! Especially that really neat time jump in the end and all it entailed :)
this whole review had me screaming at the tv "PLAY RIVAL RESTAURANTS!"
This is the type of unique gimmick based game my family is willing to play. Thanks for showing it off, Tom, I just purchased and look forward to sharing with the fam
“Join me, viewer, as we enter the fun zone!” This is a family show!
Would be worth a re-upload just to have Matt faintly shouting that in the background.
"If this sounds like something you'll enjoy, you will probably enjoy it" - absolute gold!
"Beige Traders" HAHAHA
That's the best beginning of a review I've ever seen :D
Delightfully, hilariously manic and just the right soupcon of self-awareness. Cackled out loud multiple times alone in my home office. Bravo!

That outro beautifully illustrates that line from that famous old poem: "The best laid plans of mice and men, get F'd up by your hungry cat."
Ugh. Don't get me started on HM revenue and custards. Those jerks are always spoiling things
"Welcome to 2026, where everything is still the same!"
Oh no, Coronavirus still rages on? :(
This sounds like work anxiety in a box.
I both miss and don't miss working in a kitchen. Maybe it's enough to leave me fulfilled, or maybe it'll be enough to give me PTSD. Just need the ticket printer going in the background.
@@marrioman13 the ticket printer sound haunts my dreams
Always loved my cooking jobs.
Oh goodness no. My Euros!
what if you were having a nice day, not paying your taxes, and then some hmrc agents showed up and said "get the custard cannon"
I enjoyed the part when we saw Tom's fun zone.
I, too, enjoyed that part.
It's like Harry's unfun zone, but you don't get to become a Wizard.
It's a family show!
Data thieves never think to check chorus pedals. Thanks for the pro data security tip SU&SD!
I will always love how chaotic Tom's reviews are.
holy shit dude, you've got real good at making these videos. I don't have anyway to say it smarter than that.
i love the little wilmot by the computer
Really getting the most out of "Danger Zone" midi file. Two reviews in a row!
A review straight from 2026, premium content you can find only on SU&SD.
I love how Eurogames are not classified as "Fun".
I also hear the sound of crumpling cardboard as Quinn's is angrily clutching is Concordia box....
13:37 "... games my brother MAKES US PLAY." 😅
But seriously - great and funny review 😁
Amazing review as always! I know this is blasphemy but if this sounds like your kind of thing and you’re into video games, I would strongly recommend Overcooked & Overcooked 2. It’s literally this game but like on one of those screen things and you can play online during covid and (I think) they’re both on Xbox Game Pass
Hijacking this comment to add that at least Overcooked 1 is on Steam and has remote play together so only one person needs to own it to play online.
I'll add that Overcooked is one of the very few games with combo co-op, so two people on one console can play with two people on another console. It should be industry standard, but that extra flexibility makes it a lot easier to play with more people
We've already had one great new addition to SUSD in the past two years Tom, and now we're getting another one with Small Brewster? Ambassador, you're really spoiling us!
“If you get enough money, then you’ve won, and are allowed into Heaven!
Easy?
NO.
Well, YES.”
That one cracked me up more than it had any right to.
It's basically just Overcooked in physical form. I was missing that reference.
1. it's interesting seeing games that the podcast talked about years ago getting returned to now
2. i had a small heart attack when i thought the cat was being allowed to eat one of the wooden pieces
Oh, what a lovely little kitty. Looks 95% like mine 5 years ago.
This reminded me how much I love Tom's editing. Which made me go back and watch the Renature intro.
Great video Tom as usual! Just as a history lesson, this is a second edition. The first edition is only the version if the game that is at the end of the campaign (introduced in this version to be more family-friendly) and I've played it a lot, it definitely has longevity and there is a better, more cohesive rule book out there if you want to seek it out from BGG. There's also an expansion for that, so there's even more variety to come!
It’s quite impressive how different this edition is from the kickstarter one
I've really been enjoying Tom's reviews, they're so fun!
I don't know where you found Tom back in the day but I think you might have to put him back. I'm not sure the fabric of the universe can maintain its integrity with videos like this coming out!
I'm so happy that the fun zone is much nearer by then the economy zone was.
Tom’s powers grow exponentially. Within two more reviews he will have exploded into an organic mass and then collapsed into a new universe like in Akira.
Tom, your videos keep getting better! You’re my fav member of the crew. Keep up the great work!
So Quinns has his box. Tom now has his cupboar-err, "Fun Zone". What does Matt have?
I also hope Fun Month lasts twice as long as Chess Month.
That's twice as many months!
Matt has his sleeping bag *ahem... i meant 'worm disguise'
@@dietgermelis7951 *Leto Atreides II Disguise
Pretty sure Chess Month is still going.
@@JorWat25 Two months in one month??? The mind boggles!
@@garyv83 True, but it was also his worm costume for the Silk review. And don't forget worm month!
Please review the linoleum expansion for Beige Traders. I can't decide whether to get it or the standalone expansion Beige Traders: Stock Control.
"I don't have an outro planned, so here's me playing the game by myself"
(Quinns pops out of the fun room) "DON'T YOU DARE. THAT'S MY GIMMICK!"
"OK. Fine. I'll just show my cat.

Tom, you are doing a lovely job of injecting fresh ideas and comedy into SU&SD. Bravo you!
"Don't make us get out the special custard cannon."
Every shut up and sit down video should have a cat outro
Cheers for that classic mid review turnaround! I raise a glass to you Tom!
Fun Month indeed! So many good jokes: Beige Traders, the Fun Zone cupboard and the mid-review turn-around. The hits just kept on coming! Also was that a Los Campesinos! reference I caught in the "5 years later"-part?
good god, those dashed sight lines @3:18 killed me
Kitty at end of video = I’m sold.
Really getting a workout from that MIDI Danger Zone, huh? I love it.
As Gordon Ramsay almost said, "Delicious. Finally, some good f*amily board game."
Ow, I was all excited about SUSD finally reviewing Beige Traders. :(
I've thought about making my own board game. I've even figured out essentially how I'd like it to work. A little concerned about getting the number of locations right, though, and I'm not sure how I'm going to actually make the thing. Probably everyone'd hate it, anyway
Tom remains an amazing addition to the SUSD crew. I love the lo-fi vibes and meta jokes. Also, cute cat.
3:15 I laughed way to hard about that animation 😄
Editing was hilarious
Tom: “mid review turn around”
Me: pls no Tom… don’t do it
You are one of my favorite channels of all time
I just got my copy of "Beige Traders: the Ecru Expansion"
Seeing the face of the cowboy from Great Western Trail animated will haunt me for the rest of my days
At first I thought the cat was eating a game piece. XD
I see Small Brewster has been enjoying spending time in Hypnospace.

Aww, the kitten we saw in the Button Shy games review has grown up!
This review was so good Tom! I loved the ending!!
Did anyone else die at "If you make enough money, then you win and are allowed into heaven"?
Huge fan of this jaunty synth Tom got the rights to. It's perfect for his reviews.
Woooooo!!!!! Excellent! Super pleased having a cameo of a young woman, she did great! I hope for more cameos from younger people, older people, girls, boys, women, grandparents. :)
Of the whole review was great - I wondered if it would be too easy with just 2 players but with the building stretching requirements I can see it being good :)
My suspension of disbelief was completely ruined when the rest of the interview was not shot inside the fun zone.
I loled at Beige Traders. If I didn't know better, I swear I've seen it played at some of our meetups!
Small Brewsters board game review was so great that by the end time seemed to fly... _backwards_
Not Ravensburger being made fun of in a SU&SD video!!! Hell yeah...
If you're looking for similarly themed games that also have a real time mechanic, Rival Restaurants is a good option. It's become one of my favorite board games in my collection
Wouldn’t be a Tom review without a Los Campesinos reference
Classic SUSD "5-Year Later Turnaround"
Great review! I think you're really coming into your own Tom! I miss the mid-review turnarounds :)
Brilliant board game review from both Brewsters!!
I love the Enya only time black and part of the review. I did enjoy the small Brewster review.
Ah, the special custard cannon.
