"Keep adding chillies till the police arrive." is the very best joke I ever got out of SU&SD. I use the tag in every situation that fits and get laughing tears out of anyone. Thank you.
10/10 accurate gameplay representation. Complimenting someone’s beautifully calculated run while you’re holding the keys to scoring was definitely my highlight
Probably the most informative "how to" game video I've ever watched. Just remember, "It looks quite plain, but it's probably gonna blow your face off."
I ended up just buying the German version and downloading the English PDF of the rules from boardgamegeek. As there is basically no text in the game it works fine in German. Flammenbaum is my favourite tree!
We definitely need a separate channel just for cooking videos 😍 Also, the trees from another planet bit makes me want an arbortoreeum rerelease rethemed for an alien planet with sci fi trees 👽
I had this up on one side of my screen while I was working and I lost focus on the video for about 2 minutes whilst typing a paragraph. I looked back and suddenly the board game review had become a cooking tutorial for pasta? And it was still entertaining and the food looked delicious? A very confused 9/10
I had not seen this video, and here i am, 4 years after it aired, and i think i just found the best SUSD video ever. Thank you Quinns, thank you Matt, im definitely trying the recipe.
I bought this game and personally love it but I have a couple of friends who just don't get it and won't play it again. They just don't get the scoring mechanic at all. Doesn't matter how many times I go through it and from different approaches - it's always the same.
Can I give this video another thumb up (or two)? I just watched it again because I was finally able to find a copy of this game, and it is hilarious (and genius). Thanks for being awesome!
Great review chaps. Got hold of this game a few days ago and have just tried it out. We didn't fully read the rules on scoring and the later version looks to have a different set of rules; i.e. winning the right to score a path. This lead to a nil-nil game and we're now waiting 5 years to see who wins the tie break.
Silly question but what's the word he uses to describe the oak at 11:03 every way I try to type it just comes back with avuncular, and I don't think his uncle's an oak
From what I understand, avuncular has a wider meaning than literally referring to an uncle, it's also used generally to describe a kind older man. You can check the dictionaries.
You guys forgot the part where if each player end on a tie, they have to plant a tree and see in 5 years which tree is the tallest (im not joking, it's in the rule)
@@sanaai6525 i am serious ''Declaring the winner Once the sum of each player’s scored paths is determined, the player with most points wins. In case of a tie, the player with the most colors present in her arboretum is the winner. If there is still a tie, the players must each plant a tree. In 5 years’ time, the player whose tree has grown the tallest wins.''
i have the new vibrant colour version .. i feel like they could have created at least 2 solo ways to play but have not unfortunately, i will try make one .... it is a very pleasant game to play, i don't tend to think about winning and losing, just enjoy creating.
The first couple of times I played arnpotream, I just thought it was ok. After having a longer break from the game, it turned out I realy liked it. Now I am the owner of the deluxe version with the realy cool box and the awful foiled cards.
Feel the same. The cooking segments didn't seam to land right, unfortunately, but I loved them because I'm hopeless in a kitchen and these videos gave me hope.
This reminds me a lot of the card game "Pinacle" (French title), but more visual based. It's not a bad thing at all, I quite enjoy Pinacle. It's the only game my grandma ever plays (no one can stop this lady from winning!), so maybe I should try and find Arboretum. I'm sure she'd like it! PS: Matt, I'm hungry now...
Board Game Review + Cooking with Goofy Dialogue. Keep doing this please :). especially love the one u did with Mystic Vale. Thank you for being a Druid.
I can't speak for SU&SD, but I got this quite recently and I feel exactly the same way about it as they did here. I found it to be remarkably deep, tense and clever for a card game with relatively simple rules. Is there anything in particular about it that fell flat for you?
Around 5 minutes I was like this game is not complex enough to do a 19 minute video what is going on??? And then there was broccoli and things became clear. And also way less clear
Great review ... but you are making this spicy pasta sauce completely wrong. It should be obvious ... but the anchovies should of course have been bacon!
BoardGameGeeks Game Night! shows each player but the starting player with a 1 card discard pile. Rahdo does the same so this may have originally been a rule that has since been removed from the game.
I wished I'd watched this video before playing it, because we fucked up a lot of the rules of the game playing yesterday! After watching this video I'm no longer sure how to know what a path is....
Why, where, when, and how did this turn into a cooking video
A cooking show with Matt is the cooking show I've always ever wanted.
It's not the cooking show we never knew we needed, and the show we don't deserve.
The relief when Quins finally pronounced arboretum was...... a relief.
"Keep adding chillies till the police arrive." is the very best joke I ever got out of SU&SD. I use the tag in every situation that fits and get laughing tears out of anyone. Thank you.
I legitimately have been using this recipe for years now, cooking it right now. It's amazingly tasty yet simple!
I used to hate board games and cooking until I saw this video. Now I'm surrounded by confused friends and there is a knife in my hand :)
Hold up
quinns nodding like a joyous child over that pasta makes my little heart quite warm
That "it's good" face that Quinns makes at the very end is just too damn funny
10/10 accurate gameplay representation. Complimenting someone’s beautifully calculated run while you’re holding the keys to scoring was definitely my highlight
The cooking bits are great. Please keep doing that.
You guys are the Top Gear of board games. Except without beating up an Irishman and getting cancelled.
I think this is the ultimate backhanded compliment.
I am from 5 years on the future. You will see! 🥷
Top tip for you Matt, use the back of your knife to push what’s on your chopping board into the pan. Stops you blunting the blade.
Probably the most informative "how to" game video I've ever watched. Just remember, "It looks quite plain, but it's probably gonna blow your face off."
I am so close to going out and buying all ingredients for this dish! When is the "Shut Up & Sit Down & Eat Up" channel getting started?
So I have watched this video 3 times. The first time was to see how to play Arboretum. The other times was to make the pasta sauce.
I blame your brilliant review for causing this game to be impossible to find.
Yeah, it's not like cardboard grows on trees!
Andr0ss Don't blame it on the nice lads, blame Zman for printing 200 copies of every game.
I ended up just buying the German version and downloading the English PDF of the rules from boardgamegeek. As there is basically no text in the game it works fine in German. Flammenbaum is my favourite tree!
New printing out now. It's blue and full of American trees.
See also - "Ladies and Gentlemen"...
You guys are awesome! LOVE the running "Python-esque" jokes. Too funny, and wow - what a great surprise with a cooking lesson!!! A+++
Can I hire the person who's doing the captions to place captions in my day-to-day life? Would add a whole other dimension to living.
We definitely need a separate channel just for cooking videos 😍
Also, the trees from another planet bit makes me want an arbortoreeum rerelease rethemed for an alien planet with sci fi trees 👽
I've been playing this for years and still love it, what a treat of a game, simple but deep at the same time. Awesome review as usual!
Are-Bore-EE-tum, geez, did you never watch TNG?
they pronounced it correctly by accident...twice.
I think that was the joke, no?
Whaddabout are-bore-eh-tum?
"I'm a sort of horticultural Varys"
I unironically want Matt Lees to do ASMR game reviews
Came for the review. Stayed for the cooking show! Shut up and Eat up! Is my favorite channel.
Full of fun, a bit of cooking, and very informative about Arbor...... Many thanks! This is not easy to do.
You guys are a riot! Originally bypassed "Arbortorium" because of the theme, but you have really made me consider it. Great Review.
I had this up on one side of my screen while I was working and I lost focus on the video for about 2 minutes whilst typing a paragraph. I looked back and suddenly the board game review had become a cooking tutorial for pasta? And it was still entertaining and the food looked delicious?
A very confused 9/10
Saving this video for the cooking at the end.
New Favourite Channel! Love the antics, you are all brilliant!
I had not seen this video, and here i am, 4 years after it aired, and i think i just found the best SUSD video ever. Thank you Quinns, thank you Matt, im definitely trying the recipe.

I really enjoy Arboretum. Greater starter game for a game day. The best tree is the Magnolia
Can I give this video another thumb up (or two)? I just watched it again because I was finally able to find a copy of this game, and it is hilarious (and genius). Thanks for being awesome!
im very happy with the result of this recipe, thanks for the cooking lesson susd

I loved how it randomly turned into a cooking video 😂
Silly question but what's the word he uses to describe the oak at 11:03 every way I try to type it just comes back with avuncular, and I don't think his uncle's an oak
From what I understand, avuncular has a wider meaning than literally referring to an uncle, it's also used generally to describe a kind older man. You can check the dictionaries.
now that this costs $300, I'm feeling a little bad about not buying this for $40.
It's just a steamer mate. You can pick em up for £5 at Ikea.
saved to my cooking playlist
I recently got this game and apparently I got the super pretty edition that comes in a wood box and had shiny cards.
I subscribed in the first 15 sec... you guys are great.
See, this is how you do an ASMR comedy bit. Also I really want Arboretum.
You guys forgot the part where if each player end on a tie, they have to plant a tree and see in 5 years which tree is the tallest (im not joking, it's in the rule)
Lmao are you serious
@@sanaai6525 i am serious ''Declaring the winner
Once the sum of each player’s scored paths is determined,
the player with most points wins. In case of a tie, the
player with the most colors present in her arboretum is
the winner. If there is still a tie, the players must each
plant a tree. In 5 years’ time, the player whose tree has
grown the tallest wins.''
"Horticultural Varys" is now my favourite line!
1:15 got me good with that one
every time one of them said "arbotoreum" i died a little inside.
Why?
@@LeeStoneman it's ar bo re tum
That was the joke dude
9:54 hell freezes over and quinn pronounces the thing correctly
i have the new vibrant colour version .. i feel like they could have created at least 2 solo ways to play but have not unfortunately, i will try make one .... it is a very pleasant game to play, i don't tend to think about winning and losing, just enjoy creating.
I actually really want to try that pasta recipe, and I don't normally like cooking.
The first couple of times I played arnpotream, I just thought it was ok. After having a longer break from the game, it turned out I realy liked it. Now I am the owner of the deluxe version with the realy cool box and the awful foiled cards.
Visiting here again after 5 years and man... Matt must make another cooking video.
Feel the same. The cooking segments didn't seam to land right, unfortunately, but I loved them because I'm hopeless in a kitchen and these videos gave me hope.
this video makes me want to buy ar-ba-torium
edit: at 9:48 you messed up and accidentally pronounced it correctly.
And at like 3:49 too
This reminds me a lot of the card game "Pinacle" (French title), but more visual based.
It's not a bad thing at all, I quite enjoy Pinacle. It's the only game my grandma ever plays (no one can stop this lady from winning!), so maybe I should try and find Arboretum. I'm sure she'd like it!
PS: Matt, I'm hungry now...
Board Game Review + Cooking with Goofy Dialogue. Keep doing this please :). especially love the one u did with Mystic Vale. Thank you for being a Druid.
you guys are so adorkable
The game has been out long enough now that someone could have completed the second tiebreaker… 😮
Amazing review that even features a Steam Controller!
Came for the board games. Stayed for the pasta
4:09. That's it, that's the game.
Love it, the weirdest video of board games if there ever was one.
Hahahaha, laughed so hard at the mispronunciation XD
Where's the Patreon for Matt's cooking show?
That mug, I needs it.
it’s cool that they got their approval sticker on the boxes now
I just picked up a copy of the new edition of Arboretum
They uh, they put the logo on the back of the cards in the new edition x_x
I actually prefer the new edition I think - the card backs are maybe not as nice, but I like the revised artwork a little better.
That's how you do a good asmr joke without just ridiculing the entire community 👍
MARM Did you really just come back 1 1/2 years later to make the SAME FUCKING COMMENT? What are you, a fucking MADMAN?
My dream in life is to get WAY too close to someone and say “you don’t get SHIT. You don’t get.. . You don’t get NOTHING.”
Great review lol the asmr bit killed me. We just got this deluxe version of the game for xmas and it was a ton of fun!
My new favorite cooking show!
I played this game at Origins this year - easily my favorite of the games I tried this summer. I'm so disappointed with how hard it is to find.
Maybe I'm just daft but 奇數参照 has nothing to do with broccoli or trees or anything lmao.
11:21 After playing many games of this I can 100% agree, the Willows ARE Shit.
finally got to play this last weekend at CanCon. Deceptively clever game.
I love matts jumper
Was that random Fred Dinenage at the end?
Do you score point off other people when you have the high cards or only your own
Only your own arboretum
I bought this based on your recommendation. Unfortunately It was not nearly as good as you made it sound Does this review still hold true to you?
I can't speak for SU&SD, but I got this quite recently and I feel exactly the same way about it as they did here. I found it to be remarkably deep, tense and clever for a card game with relatively simple rules. Is there anything in particular about it that fell flat for you?
R. B. Tori Rectum
wrecked him? damn near killed him
Around 5 minutes I was like this game is not complex enough to do a 19 minute video what is going on??? And then there was broccoli and things became clear. And also way less clear
People must be confused reading the comments about cooking show while watching the video.
so, when a native english speaker sees a word with more than 3 syllables, he just denies moving his eyes past the first 5 letters?
How dare you, Nupyog Owtelvonouyog
@@artstsym lol
Was the broccoli comment a reference to animorphs?
More cooking shows should adopt the "Actually, just do whatever the fuck you want" mentality.
Need more cooking with Matt asap
Now I want to buy this game!
Great review ... but you are making this spicy pasta sauce completely wrong.
It should be obvious ... but the anchovies should of course have been bacon!
Genius
now this regular feature can stay. there will be touching.
One does *not* start the game with a discard pile like the dude does at 1:50. So more shutting up and sitting down called for?
BoardGameGeeks Game Night! shows each player but the starting player with a 1 card discard pile. Rahdo does the same so this may have originally been a rule that has since been removed from the game.
I thought that Matt was throwing up gang signs in the thumbnail
You bet your acorns!
Why for pity sake would you be using a brushcutter in your apartment Sir.
Arbortoreaum?🤣
I wished I'd watched this video before playing it, because we fucked up a lot of the rules of the game playing yesterday! After watching this video I'm no longer sure how to know what a path is....
How to play this game? Grab a cooking pot.
I feel like I'm not in on a joke. Why was I taught how to cook?
I love my Steam controller!
Surprised how many people didn't pick up that the title was being *deliberately* mispronounced for comic effect.
(in Hermione's voice) It Arbor-*eh*-tum. Not arbor-Torrie-Oreo-dinosaur-eww-itstie…tums
