How to tell lockdown has gone on too long: there's now a SU&SD-verse with ongoing storyarcs and recurring secondary characters
Just wait for the Shut Up & Sit Down Supercomputer to make a return.
They need to tie up some of the older story arcs. It's been over 6 years... What happened to Brendan?! Was he one of the scientists Paul culled during Operation Octopus?
@@Showsni BBBBB = Bring back Big Bin Barry
@@Showsni Plot twist: lockdown was actually a simulation run by the SUSD Supercomputer to encourage more digital gaming and manufacturing of babies. Babies.
How many characters can you name? (I'm actually curious how many there are)
"You don't have to absorb the hog in its totality"
-Quinns 2021
In the box
I was concerned about the size of the master set’s box but thankfully the reference potato gnocchis of domination helped a lot
No strawberries were harmed in the making of this video.
Neither were any potato gnocchi
@@lucar6897 not for lack of trying.
Quinns' wife don't agree..
Just in case someone is looking, the Angel episode where everyone is a puppet is called "Smile Time"
Can anyone explain why this was problematic?
@@michaelhelps3645 I think it’s mainly problematic if you’re a puppet...
Plus it's just been put on Disney Plus.
Looks like I'm going to play this during the Summer-ner
Perish
that is the worst joke i have ever heard.....I love it.
Bravo, good sir, well done!
I often ask myself - How dare I deep... And the truth is - I just don't know...
I have eaten
the strawberries
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
to squash on a boardgame video
honestly, this
is much less
wasteful
This is a work of art!
"Hi Tom, I've got this great puppet I need you to review, or you're fired.
I'll be sending him over to you soon."
-Quinns probably
This is so easy to read in Quinn's voice :-p
Can Puppet Quinns only be conscious when Real Quinns is unconscious?
Is that how it works?
There's also always Tash-Kalar, my beloved box of brain-busting tile shuffling, with the absolute highest of highs and the absolute lowest of lows. I love it deeply.
I would like to request a cut to Quentin Strings saying "suuuper problematic" any time you have a review of a game that warrants it.
Bonus points for identifying the book Quinns is reading in the intro. Top 10 Games You Can Play In Your Head, By Yourself
by Sam Gorski of Corridor Digital.
Was hunting for this comment :)
In ten years the hair from Quinn's face has gone and run off with the hair from his forehead.
Spoken as someone whose own forehead hair divorced him long ago.
Seems like the perfect arena for a Db vs SU&SD "Loser deletes their website" ultimate battle rematch if you ask us
Fight fight fight!
Throwback to Quinn’s reappearing with a fake beard yelling “WHIZZARD”
That was Quinn? I thought it was Matt with a real beard wearing Quinn's clothes.
@@ShunyValdez it’s a bit from SUSD Season 2 Ep 4 from (dear god) 2012
@@VelocitrapLords yup. i was trying to make it sound as if i got him mixed up.
but apparently, my sarcasm wasn't as obvious as it was in my head. sorry about that, my bad.
@@ShunyValdez I was 50/50 on whether it was sarcasm or not, my bad man!
Looks like Chess Month is clawing it's way back out of the earth.
"There's nothing to sexy about this...yet..."
*Quinns begins digging into pocket*
Umm.... is this still a family show?
Auto-subtitles say Magikarp energy. Now I know I need a Pokémon reskin.
I played this game religiously a while back
I AM SO HYPED
I own the old master set and a couple of expansion and .... will stick to it and remain happy and will continue to enjoy it tremendously. For some reason I even like the graphics better than the new version. However, I am happy that this gem has been re-released for a broader audience. A truly great game.
To comment on 3:35 - 3:49 I would like to direct my sincere thank you to your wife for saving the strawberries from this barbarians paws. The humanity thanks you for saving us from that display. Thank you.
What about the question...if you own 1st edition...how does it compare to,... should you fork out the cash for 2nd edition ...?
They just straight up called a character "Smeg"
I need the card for his mother: Smeg's Ma
The new dice look really good and the walls now being portals makes a lot more sense. Don't think I'll move on from the original game to the second edition, but it looks tempting.
Well, you can try the game online, currently you can play as Cave Goblins and Breakers even if you dont pay anything, and get matched even against other factions.
I believe the plan for the future is to rotate these two free factions weekly.
Seems quite similar to Duelyst which is no bad thing.
I love second editions when I don't own the game, since then all the first ed. go on sale cheap in the used markets. But when I own the game it sucks lol, the debate of whether to get it or not will be a tough one.
@Cliff Mathieson they are not
this video changed my interest in summoners wars from 0 to 9
You can't understand how much joy brings hearing an English mother tongue finally pronouncing the word gnocchi right
I like that Q brought up how the game designers named a goblin "Smeg"... yeah...
I don't get it. Am I missing some context?
@@ciuniek-maciek add "ma" to the end of that word and you have something... less than pleasant, shall we say
kind of reminds me of duelyst. shame that it's servers are down, maybe this will be a nice replacement.

Finally, I won't miss a SUSD recommendation cause I had already preordered it!!!
This is obviously a bit (very) late, but I can think of an unofficial way to close the skill gap if you're playing with new players. I haven't played, so I don't know exactly how balanced / unbalanced this would be, but if you're the better player, you could just shuffle your 30 cards, and remove X amount randomly (without looking). So, effectively playing 25 vs 30, or something along those lines. Obviously, you could remove more or less, depending on the skill gap. To add some randomness, you could also maybe just have both players remove 5 cards randomly. That way, you never know if you're missing a powerful card. Unsure if this would make it more or less fun.
Having hits on 5/6 die faces seems like a good idea at first, but I'm worry it would just be frustrating. If you roll well in Commands and Colors, it feels like a fun bonus. When the odds are >80% per die I would likely feel deprived by bad luck. I'd love to see a C&C style game with cards instead of blocks that take 40 minutes to set up though.
"That was weird" says quinns after the 6th unhinged part of the video
Man Quinns is so entertaining. Never change!
I wasn't expecting a cameo from Techmoan in this board game review!
"Gul-Dass" is "Yellow-Toilet" in Swedish, so I guess that's my favourite card.
I need to see more of Quintin strings. And I should go online for summoner wars cause I remember it being a really fun idea. I just couldn't quite figure it out since my games would just go to the wire.
I’m surprised you guys haven’t done a review of Wildlands, a really good tactical skirmish game by Martin Wallace
you missed a summoner joke..."summoner? I barely know her!"
I recognized that music. I was watching some build a cool period appropriate house in valheim. the video was ~15 mins long and obviously the song isn't, so their solution was to put it on repeat.
it got muted pretty quickly lol
I just saw a 'new' game on Kickstarter that looked a look like this, AracKhan Wars...
Speaking of amazing asymmetric games, it should be noted that Netrunner is more accessible now than ever before, thanks to Nisei. Check it out!
I played the original and wasn’t my cup of tea. Could have offered Tash-Kalar as an alternative recommendation though :)
Hi Quinn, an advice. I think the YT algorithm can detect the standard BEEP and somehow that hurts the reach of the video. I'm seeing many youtubers use different sounds for the same purpose to avoid this.
I have no actual knowledge about this, I have heard this, it makes sense and i see other people doing it. cheers!
This is SUPER fun! I've been playing the digital version while waiting for my copy to arrive, which is now looking like August sadly.
Well, I would certainly appreciate a review of the (how many?) years old Mage Wars. Great game, could use a revival.
Mage Wars had a revival when they split it into two versions.
Definitely gonna start using the phrase “you don’t have to absorb the hog in its totality” from now on.
I ordered this a few weeks ago, can't wait for it to arrive.
There never were any strawberries, were there Quinns? Were there?
My copy is arriving Monday. Yessh! Edit: the hair looks fab!
Great review.
Codex is my fave in this genre by a large margin.
Mine too.
AWESOME!!! Was so worried how you'd review it!! Also big fan of Summoner Wars 1st ed!!😁😁
Also it's Tundra Orcs not Swamp Orcs coming up next!!😁
i was SO confused when you opened the browser. I instantly checked what my browser was going to your homepage.
OMG, a shout out to "Smile Time" from SU&SD?? Love it!
just pre-ordered the game from you guy's! can't wait to play it!
Remembering the days when SUSD secured the flashy and provocative "enpty office in business park" location.
Then abruptly remembering the days when SUSD shot on locations with no fear of disease.
That book title in the beginning.....
"Games you can play in your head..... by yourself"
great start Quinns, let's see where this is going
Great review as usual but that none cable management under Quinns TV though...
I love little Mr Quinns more than anything.
Are the card sizes still that weird size that nobody makes sleeves for?
Haha, this intro, how do you guys keep doing this, unbelievable :D How many wars? Sum-mon'er wars?!
Mage Wars is one of my favorite games. It is in dire need of a revival
Look, if you're not gonna even use the gun then at least send it back to Checkov.
So I love Tash Kalar and quite a few of my friends do too. I get a similar vibe off of this even with the obvious differences. Any one play both and have anything to say regarding how they feel thgey stack up?
Oh god, I remember the oppressive nightmare that fighting the Swamp Orcs was in 1st edition...
2:09 latest clip for @shut up and sit down out of context
4:12 woop, ther's another one!
How does it compare to the original version? I have collected most of it - and cant see a huge difference in game play. Apart from the nice new artwork, what is there to pull me into this version?
Thank you
I've been wanting to say this for some time and this is a good opportunity.
It is amazing how in SU&SD we got to see Quinss aging on the outside over the years. He looks like two different persons at one point.
I'm here for the plants
I've always heard Summoner Wars was great, so when they announced a 2nd edition I ordered it asap. I'm excited.
I was waiting Matt to come up to say that he never sent the puppet, and to show it resting on his shelf.
Oh Lord, Quinns Strings sounds like Quinns! He's taking over!!
reminds me of a videogame called duelyst.. it is sadly canceled now :(
great game, and no dice rolls
Are the two editions compatible with each other? I have first edition and LOVE it. How do first and second editions compare?
@Gankatron 5000 aww fiddle sticks. have you played second edition, if so how did it compare? thx
@Gankatron 5000 cool thx
Puppet Quinns may be the best Quinns.
oh my god. he's reading top 10 games you can play in your head by yourself
The full subtitle would have read "How dare you deep-probe your summoner?"
Why no 'Blue Moon' mentioned? Such a great duel card game...
Quinns, do you think someone that has the complete original with second summoners and reeinforcements should consider swapping to the new edition? I really wouldn't want to start collecting it all over again...
Oh god, Mage Wars is so good. One of my favorite games, but I only know a few people who will play it with me because of the complexity and overwhelming-ness of options. Maybe this is the way to scratch my Mage Wars itch with something the average person would still play with me?
My preferred way to play Mage Wars is using the Academy mages on the board. Makes for games that are interesting but don't last a million years.
Thanks for sharing. Summoner Wars is a classic. Hoping the 2nd Edition is even better.
Bought the game two min into watching the vid, I need help :|
You have the Corridor Digital book!!
I bloody loved the 1st edition of the Master Set. Neat change that ranged attacks are a smidge weaker than melee - beautiful looking redesign on the game as a whole as well.
I feel like Crystal Clans is a great alternative to this if you're looking for similar games.
I still have the 1e big-box and it pains me that I can’t play it more often.
You're videos always put me in a good mood! Thank you!
You guys should do a review of godtear. Super great but maybe a bit too expensive alternative. Love them bothe though.
Deeply disappointed we didn't get part 2 of Quinn's chest hair leading to an Exotic Foreign Film. >.>
Honestly I'm just glad that Matt did indeed intend to send the puppet over. The alternative would be much worse.
No mention of first edition and why folks might upgrade, or not?

0:03 so are we going to get a review of Top 10 Games You Can Play In Your Head, By Yourself (Second Edition)?
I'd expected you to say "Some of them are upside down. Are they gonna be ok? Of course they are, they're Australians
I love this game and have had many great games with my son over the years. For myself though, I see no need to get this as I have so much from the Master Set and Alliances. My Alliances box is signed as well.
Quinn, love you and the teams work. Excellent review and a game I'm looking at getting to play with my 9yo twins. Do you think it will be fine for them or a bit too much? Keep up the good work... Damn fine British humour as always!
I never played Summoner Wars. Always see it on the store shelf.
