  • Iki! Today on the show, Tom (and a tiny, tiny bit of Matt) are taking a look at a 2015 competitive shopping game where you compete to be the best merchant in all of “one particular street in Japan”. Is it good? How’s the expansion? Find out right here!

    Janet and Doug, you have a lovely grandson and we appreciate his work very much. Well done. 🎉

    Hi Janet and Doug! Your grandson is doing a fantastic job and he's entertained thousands with his wonderful videos.

    Janet and Doug. Save your grand spawn from Matt and Quinns. Or retire him so he no longer needs to eat.

    I don't know why hearing about Janet and Doug brought me such joy but I am glad it did. Your Grandson is great and an excellent reviewer!! Influencing us all the way over here in Australia

    I love how future tom couldn't tell past tom whether iki 2 was any good for paradox reasons, but had no qualms telling him exactly how matt died immediately afterward

    • @blairox6031
      @blairox6031 ปีที่แล้ว +37

      The paradox is that telling the audience that iki 2 is far superior to the original game would lead us to wait for its release instead of buying iki, which would lead to the bankrupcy of the editor, and because of this, iki 2 would never exist. Problem is: telling us there is a paradox is enough for us to deduce its nature, which is why I won't buy iki, thus risking to tear the fabric of time

      The rules of future paradox NDAs are complicated, but very narrowly focused.

    I very much enjoy the publisher being named "Sorry We Are French".
    excellent buisness name

    • @Paper-dust

      Same! I had to look it up to make sure that's a real publisher name.

    I can’t believe SUSD found a cohost as on-brand as Tom to carry on their excellent legacy. So good.

    • @hudeduge9240
      @hudeduge9240 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Hey, I like Tom and Ava too but Im getting kinda tired of the post covid SUSD crouch at the table formula. I want more outside stuff. More team interaction. More paint bombs in pans!

    @dave0754 ปีที่แล้ว +34

    Dear Janet and Doug, please enjoy your shopping in Edo. If you need to save poor Tom, please know that Quinn's weaknesses are canals and expansions.

    Fine I guess I'll take a break of watching algorithmically recommended sumo documentaries to watch Tom walk me through another fever dream of a board game review

    The future is indeed bad, but at least it contains more excellent SU&SD video reviews to look forward to.

    This is definitely a unique game, and while I enjoyed my play of it, I let it go. My wife, and a friend of ours, did not enjoy the game. Resources were too tight to come by, and there was only a few turns you could do something to try and gain points. The rest of your turns were spent moving up the fire track or gaining food to feed your merchants. It felt like stuff I had to do, and not stuff I wanted to do.

    3:13 You can tell Tom really wanted to end another sentence with "in spades" but then remembered he does that too much (or I'm reading into this far too much and it really is as simple as it seems which is the message of Iki and this video and DAMMIT I DID IT AGAIN).
