It's great to be reminded of some of the older formats that SUSD took years ago. Before we even hear the name of the game being "reviewed, " we learn about the concept first. Then we take a look at another game that does that well, to be used as a point of comparison for the real subject matter. Great stuff.

This video got me in to board gaming with my first game being Gravwell. Now if you only said would I end up needing to buy the largest IKEA shelf in order to store all my board games a year later... or that watching your channel would become expensive because there really are that many fantastic games out there... oh well it’s a really enjoyable hobby.

Years ago when I was at GenCon I played this game for the first time with one of the designers. I played a three player game with him and one of my friends. And for the first three or four rounds of the game I played "Party in the Singularity" where I just forced the designer to sit in the singularity with him. It was here I found the Argon is the best damn card in the game because it always goes first and is great for skipping behind a friend and forcing them to go flying backwards. Meanwhile, my friend was in the lead but wasn't getting anyone because once he got past the second dirlect ship he had no one to slingshot off of anymore and slowly began to drift back towards us. I had an amazing time and immediately bought the game. It's amazing and I love it.

Years ago this video (when it was originally published) single-handedly got me into modern board games. I'd heard of Catan (of course) and knew that the hobby existed in edge of my periphery, but didn't really think anything of it.

When I somehow saw this random video about a game embodying a concept in such a neat, quirky, and interesting way I was immediately compelled to grab a copy. And that was basically all she wrote, was a hit with the friends and was my personal opener to board games. Still love the concept and pull it out from time to time.

I love watching the SU&SD backlog just to find new things.

I was not expecting pickle plating. Definitely going to impress my friends at my next game night with THE ENIGMA.

This game is fantastic! Every game without fail someone messes up someone which messes up someone else resulting in a round where everyone goes backwards. I call it the 'Circle of Failure'.

My wife and I really enjoy this game. Sure, it pretty much stays on the shelf because we'd rather play something like Viticulture, but it's a great game when we have friends or family visiting who are not too into board games. Great review and look into Gravwell.

Here in the colonies we call them pickles. I always thought it was the brits who called them gherkins... Maybe nobody actually calls them gherkins, instead we all have this misunderstanding that any country foreign to us calls them gherkins instead of pickles, and that's why we have so many wars.
