Is Compile even purchasable at this point in time?
I would love to get a copy of Compile but I'm not willing to pay $100+ from the scalpers. When restock, please?
I like it when i already own the game
Monster Hunter wiggler spotted???!
Hi Frank
I'm not sure whether it's because people watched this and then ran out of their homes, one shoe missing and a half eaten bagel in their mouths, such was their frenzied speed, and engaged on a shopping spree to aquire ALL OF THE THINGS , but 2 of the 3 I looked into getting were seemingly not available anywhere in the country and definitely not before Christmas. *sad trombone noises*.
you misspelled "Courtisans" in the title card 🙂
I'll tichu, tichu, tichu, I'll tichu the electric slide
Happy to see The Gang getting love. RIP Kory ❤
Worm Matt should do an entire review sometime. And be considered a different character on the channel. Ditto for Big Bin Barry.
Have you even played the published version of Paper App Dungeon? You recommend the game based on it having a pencil, and not saying if the game is fun or good. I found the rules that come in the game literally unplayable. You might end up wall bounding with a 1/2000th chance or worse of getting to the goal for any particular map. The rules that were from the PnP version are actually playable, but that's not what's in the box, nor is it easy to find.
Ace. Most chucklesomest thing I've seen all week, thanks chaps.
it was a mistake to watch this /after/ ive done my christmas shopping,,,
you guys are great
Courtisans, not courtesans. Wish it was available in the UK!

Is there a SU&SD Discord? There's a real void of places for people to trade or sell board games privately, without the shadiness and low discovery of eBay and slow communication rates of BGG.
WHO WATCHES THE WATCHFUL WORM?
Where are the board games??
We still all love Matt when he is a worm, so I guess that answers that question.
My boardgame is available for delivery before Christmas. Is it cool to post the website here? Or not?
0:32 Gosh, you got me there 😂
I LOVE YOU GUYS 🎉
Wait wait wait…..is that a wiggler shirt?
Tichu is awesome. Only problem is you need exactly four people.
I appreciate yall and am glad you exist and do what you do. I wish you the best for the holidays and coming year 🙂
I really appreciate that worm Matt keeps coming back, his smile is infectious.
This channel continues to be a beacon of loveliness in the hellhole of the internet.
Any tips on where to get Compile? Can't find it anywhere…
Hello! This was a great video, and fortunately my disgustingly large wishlist didn't expand as this is all on there.
I do have a question, in full good faith, about Tichu. I understand the worry of orientalization, sure, but is this a problem in this situation? I ask because this game is a huge hit in asian countries, and more often than not countries have changed the art for political reasons than based on race. I understand a fear of racism or fetishism, but the game was (if i recall correctly) designed by a Swiss person who lived in and loved China and its gaming culture. the idea of a love letter to another culture can be tricky, and again, begging for good faith on this, but this is one I don't hear about often or really ever as an issue. I literally only anecdotal evidence, so if I'm wrong, I ain't gonna fight it, but I am curious where that love letter or tribute crosses the border to fetishism.
THAT SAID!!!! If you are looking for a Tichu deck that doesn't look like this, Korea Board Games sells several copies of different colors that are rather pretty. If you can't get KBG where you live, Playte Games is a company also out of Korea who sell their games through ebay internationally, and they sell an EXCELLENT copy of Big Two, a classic card shedding game out of Asia. The game has many ways to play, but most importantly in this case it comes with a spare dog, dragon, mahjong, and phoenix card which….can be used….however you like….
SUSD gift guides used to be bangers…… they actually just suggested a deck of cards. Sheesh
Compile is not available anywhere and probably won't be before Christmas
Maaaaan I felt that Tichu bit so much. Great game but uhhhhhhhh
This is all well and good, but where did Matt get that shirt?
Buy the new Tichu edition by Maldito Games from Spain is beautiful.
Yo I appreciate the shout out for the potential conflict of interest re: Wilmot's Warehouse, but I would much rather hear y'all's take on it knowing said caveat than having to look elsewhere. For real, don't be scared to try and give an honest breakdown of your own game!
Compile still unavailable 😢
Oi, turn up the volume! I'm old!
I want to hear your hair growing next time, okay?
Yes! Splendid! 🥳
Great recs – looks awseome
Thank you for the recommendation of Seaside! 🎉🎉🎉 We hope that everyone will play during the holidays besides a Christmas Tree at the beach!
ooof the kerning between T and h in "The Caveat Zone"
How would you play Tichu with common card decks? Aren't there 4 cards missing?
water that plant
Fantastic recommendations Air, Land & Sea and Tichu!
