"I think I need to stop before I fuck a board game" - Quinns, 2017
As a massive clumsy-nut, I cannot express how impressed I am that Quinns managed to do all that sticky-out elbow stuff in the review WITH A CUP OF TEA ON THE CORNER OF THE TABLE and didn't spill it once. That is the British equivalent of sword-swallowing. or something.
You must watch his great western trail review.
The magic of editing
Classic No Pun Included turnaround
I was already thoroughly enjoying this episode, but that ending, that was gold.
Hello I have come to take my channel back.
I subscribed to your channel because of this video so... Maybe buy Quinns a beer?
I can offer a choice of:
a) two shots of what's left in that bottle of Sloe Gin I've had in my cupboard
b) a hug and maybe some light innocent fondling
I'll take 2
How about B while dressed as Pandemic Legacy?
I have to say of all the ways to pimp another channel, that's the best I have ever seen.
Now we need to see No Pun have a similar outro in their review of this game where he flips over a pear token.
Really appreciated the final part exploring the "fluffiness". I've felt this way with several hidden roles games.
The old shots from previous reviews makes me miss some of the old gang.
Great review! Elaine and Efka really outdid themselves with this one.
Paolo Antonio Fenu You win the Internet. Well played, sir.
I bought this game a bit reluctantly after seeing this review, but after our third play, me and my friends loved it to bits!
As soon as some secret identities start getting revealed everybody started to keep track and devise their strategy, trying to make the best decisions with the cards they picked up. The possibility of roles changing means that you have to keep an open mind in order to change your strategy if you need to, trying to end the game when it's the most convenient time for you . It's a short play (30'), and easy enough to pick up and enjoy after a couple plays, offering enough layers and complexity to keep it fun and engaging for everybody. I think a medium (4-5) player count is the best, because it enables you to memorise all the tokens and keep track of them, while not getting too complicated. And the box is also very small, which means that you can pretty much carry it anywhere you like! Perfect for a casual play at a friend's house or at a pub :)
At 10:38 a spider definitely emerges from Quinn's hoodie and runs along his neck!
We mentioned this to Quinns. He had this to say: "OH MY GOD"
I guess your not called Tom Archer for no reason you got eagle eyes.
oh jesus that's terrifying..
BRB. Burning all of my hoodies.
Is this a goof? I don't see it
OH MY GOD I'm crying laughing!!!
One of your best episodes with one of the single best endings ever!!
EH-VAHR!!
(BTW Nice to see Leigh getting some screen time with you!)
WELL DONE!
Cheers!
I love how deep you dive into reviewing the games
I follow french, German and US boardgame reviewer and you should know that you are really the bests. So clear, so fluent, accurate arguments...Woah..How do you do that!?
0:29 - Greatest moment of self realization ever in a RUclips video.
Be warned, I bought this at the international spy museum & I didn't get a rule book or the template where the arrows go, so it's useless to me.
"Starting with the player who has most recently been abducted by the CIA or KGB"
Lol I almost missed that
Me too
Imagine developing a secret code with your friend before having a session.. you'd be sitting across and if your friend or you do certain things, those actions have certain meanings. For example:
Sip whatever you're drinking - I'm on the soviet side
Clear throat - I'm on the other one
Smile - I'm a hippie
Take a deep breath, then perform one of the above actions - the guy next to me is the [sip clear or smile]
Scratch chin then [sip clear or smile] - I swapped my role, i am now on [this] side
Cough, then [sip, clear or smile]- I didn't swap the tokens, the other guy is [this]
And in-game attempt to get on the same team and steamroll everyone xD
I literally laughed so hard and long when Quinns revealed the No Pun token that I missed everything else he said and had to rewatch the end of the video after I stopped laughing. Well played, sir. Well played.
I wish you guys would review Secret Hitler. I like it, but there is something wrong with it and I can't put my finger on it.
Hey! You did a mid-review turnaround AFTER the recommendation. Where’s our fritatta recipe?
Talking on the banana game me a Sir Digby Chicken Caesar feel.
Quick Ginger, we haven't a moment to lose! On a lonely planet spinning its way to damnation, amid the fear and despair of a broken human race, who is there to fight for all that is pure and good and gets you smashed for under a fiver? Yes, its the surprising adventures of me, Sir Quentin Chicken Caesar!
That cup of tea at the edge of the table gives me ulcers
Love it when you do these acted-out bits, and it looks better and better too! Great job.
The opening is great, just delightful humor
And the search for the perfect Hidden Role game continues. Though how does it compare to Mafia De cuba? Nice review No Pun Included, thanks for your runewars miniatures review.
Avalon is pretty freaking close.
Mission: Red Planet my man, which is also a Bruno Faidutti game
Quinnsrun FTW.
It's a bit like Mario Party, isn't it. You get to the end and the game starts throwing BS point stars around that no one could have anticipated and suddenly Luigi, who's been in 3rd place the whole time, suddenly wins. And you either have to come to terms with the fact that your action in the game mean nothing, so just have fun, or you get so frustrated that you toss the table.
Not really. Mario Party is rigged while this is more lack of knowledge.
Well that all depends on *which* Mario Party you're playing!
8:13 - Oh dear... It's all gone a bit Sir Digby Chicken Cesar...
F@#$ a board game?! What payment tier is that!?!
Dude, your videos are very well done!
Loving the ancillary mercy!! Ann Leckie was just in England!!
I hope you typed that while wearing gloves, citizen.
WHY IS "LIMITS OF CONTROL" REVERSED WHEN ALL THE TEXT IS FORWARD ON EVERYTHING ELSE?????
This is LEGIT perplexing and frankly SPOOKY.........
"Munchkins and Fluxx which are absolute parades of bullshit." Thank you! Everyone around me love these games; I think they're crap. After an hour into Munchkins, everyone is just done and lets someone win. Come next month, everyone seems to have forgotten their exasperation and wants it on the table.
GWJ H Munchkin and Fluxx are dogshit games.
Quinns is losing his mind without Paul.
I'm getting a serious 'Burn After Reading' vibe
So nice seeing the final version of this game. We played a prototype at Essen with wonderful Eric Lang, will have to grab a copy for our HQ.
Quins as a shady spy is Sir Digby Chicken Caesar :"D
2:24 is that a actual rule or a joke i do not know
I'm pretty sure both frogs and lions do in fact exist, Quinns.
Are you sure? Have you seen them in the same room together?
How do you know a frog isn't an extra dimensional lion.
I did go to the zoo a couple of weeks ago so yes. I have seen them both. The real question you should be asking is, are Matt and Paul really different people? Think about it, Matt only really started showing up after Paul "moved to Canadia", or so they claim....
When Quinns got married he did know a little too much about the statistical likelihood of being killed by an owl. Could Matt be a Franken-Paul and Canadian Paul a visual effect?
HOLD THE PHONE, I've just had an epiphany. Paul might be a special effect, but I think that''s because he was never real to begin with. No, nonono, the truth is that Matt is actually secretly Brendan! He hasn't been seen on the show in years, after disappearing into the "past" one episode. Or should I say, disappearing into the MATT!?!?!?!?!?!?
I think I've just blown this case wide open.
Holy crap - that is so close to the card game I was designing
lol 4:34 cracked me up
OMG, such a great ending!!!
0:35 - 1:15
_(probably) tea on edge of table_
_wild gesticulating ensues_
_sustained personal panic attack_
Now I can't wait to buy it ! Another amazing energetic review ^^
scintillating is a synonym of interesting that begins with s.
Man that park scene reminds me to Good Omens!
Had a beer but now I can't tell if you guys are geniuses (genii, genies) or just bonkers.
Your secret identity is Kanga. Roo is missing from Brooklyn. That means....
Oh my god.
The idea of the "hidden role game where you're not sure which team you're on" never sat right with me. I was totally behind the game until roles started getting scrambled. Like with One Night Werewolf, I just don't see how you can work out who you are without making it obvious to everyone that you don't already know. I don't understand what lies are safe to tell, or what strategies you could even use.
Does anyone know what music plays at 2:20. That bit is hysterical and I'm curious where he found music that was both dramatic and whimsical.
Wait... did you do a mid review turnabout after recommending the game without recommending getting extravagant with something light?
kenji02481
I'm sure there is some bylaw to a bylaw that says that it doesn't count because it wasn't a full turnabout.
Game looks awesome! Thanks for the review
Tried it once and never figured out what was going on. Left me confused. Did not have a good time
The entire time I was watching this I got a the feeling I wouldn't like it. The short caveat at the end put those feelings into words. Exactly that. I just don't like games where I don't feel like my actions were meaningful.
“Man of mystury”
I just bought the game . I watched the video because some things were unclear to me in the rules . I don't know if it is really that awesome or you're just promoting it . I hope it's that awesome and my 20 euros weren't wasted . Anyway you're very entertaining dude
what is the song playing at 8:33 ? cracked me up :D
None of the buy links seem to work. Where can I acquire this game?
Are the faction designs on the chips inlaid or printed on?
i know several people taht will love this, but i'm done with hidden role games until i forget about the last 7 i've played in the last half a year
It was the running for me
That is a great ending.
I'm sure there's differences, but rather than Werewolf or Resistance, it feels like this might be pretty close to One Night Ultimate Werewolf?
Iwe waited for thet cup to be thrown buy his hend
Ancillary Mercy
i can't find it on amazon :/
Quinn's concerns where the game feels random and insubstantial basically applies to every social bluffing/ deduction game I've ever played. Mascarade, saboteur, dead last, onuw, mafia de Cuba, etc. The game isn't really about winning, it's about expressing yourself by playing a fun game with friends. I generally prefer a brain burning puzzle in my game, but with the right group a social game like this is excellent.
I agree that this kind of game will never be a favorite of mine, but a game like it absolutely belongs in every collection.
I thought he was going to use the components to play Pink Floyd's Money.
This looks good, but I already have Secret Hitler, and I can't really imagine a secret teams game being better than that.
Daniel Maurice 😂
Where can I buy this?
That was a very nice sock.
We'll all be at Gen Con, right? I'm hoping to meet everyone. :)
is there an easier way to understand the UN Rule?
lol apparently boardgames dont teach you how to run like an adult man
Think i'll stick with Millions of Dollars. This feels like it, but with the roles passing of One night werewolf, which i don't like.
Thanks reference parrot!
Shouldn't it be BRKLN?
Um - where can we buy this - its not on Ebay at all :(
comes out next month
Thank you!
It feels like the kind of game you should just do random things and say random things.
Played it... Total dud for me...
Burger King, Lyndhurst
Ha surprise ending!
13:48 I have to know that too in game :D
so afraid of you knocking over the tea... please be considerate of tea aficionados.
Cockroach poker used the "here's a hidden card, do you accept?" bluff mechanic first (to my knowledge) so not really a first. I played a demo of this at UKGE and enjoyed it, but I thought it was a bit chaotic and out of your own control at times which wont be for some.
I cringe every time I see someone shuffle cards like that.
If the cards are good quality, they should easily survive a riffle shuffle. If they are poor quality, you might need to overhand shuffle for 20 minutes to get the same randomness. But then why did you buy a game with poor card quality? Don't encourage that.
You had me at "Fluxx is bull****".
I love what this game says about hippies 😂
00:11
Ear porn.
You had me until you said you've basically got little control over the entire thing. Such great designers as well.
1:50 /r/breathinginformation
Fun review, though your criticisms of this game to me would apply to any of these basic hidden role games. There are no real meaningful choices in any of them, which is why I find them all pointless to play.
In betrayer games such as BSG or Dead of Winter or Shadows Over Camelot, you have a whole game to analyze to see if you can discover the betrayer, but the enjoyment of those games doesn't solely depend on trying to figure out who is on your team, or who is what role, and if you know what role, then who does what thing, etc, etc. There is much more of an actual story to it, as well.
I find no satisfaction to winning hidden role games. They are so basic, and the choices so minimalist, that whether I win or lose is immaterial. So I find your criticism of Secrets odd for that very reason, as all of the hidden role games you've mentioned suffer from those same flaws.
Ayyyyyyy 100th comment!
Hmmm, social deduction, hard pass.
