Modern Art Review - A Masterpiece!

~FOLLOW US AROUND, WHY DON'T YOU~

Gotta say, I really appreciate the nonstandard modernist pear. With galleries closed, it was a welcome dose of true art. 🤔

[cardsnapper]

The fact that Tom made a non standard modern reference pear just shows how far he’ll go to make a silly joke.

[wangtang]

Tom has actually reinvigorated the SUSD style of reviews. Knocking it out of the park! Well done, man!!!

[IanBarker]

Tom is growing to be far too powerful.

that writing on the hands bit, where the writing on the right hand was terrible, fully sent me. im like frickin bustin right now. im dying literally i am friggin evaporating friggin i am water vapor

6:28 "But this doesn't seem like a functioning economy? Don't worry, they never are." Incredibly powerful macro-economic burns and I am here for it.

My favorite part of the game? Playing “auctioneer” when you offer a painting from your hand. You get to come up with a bunch of nonsense to describe the artist, their painting, and the *certain* future value of the art. A true classic.

Tom is a lot like actual modern art: colorful, imaginative, and highly influenced in value by wealthy investors seeking to manipulate the market

My artist girlfriend saw this and now I must immediately buy it. Btw, she's going to be big one day, you may want to buy her art now (we need money for more board games).

I had genuinely no interest in watching a review for this game but couldn't close the tab because of how good this video was. Tom's style somehow one ups SUSDs usual weirdness and I love it

[gqsnowman]

I love Non-standard Modernist Pear with all of my heart.

Modern Art is a game that I can explain the rules of in 5 minutes, but also one where I have revelations about strategy almost every time I play. It's so elegant and complex, but also so fun for a first time player who has no idea what they're doing. It's cutthroat calculation, speculation, psychological manipulation, plus giving paintings goofy names and laughing at yourself for getting drawn into a ridiculous bidding war where there's no way you should pay that much but there's also no way you can let your opponent get that painting.

You forgot to mention the most important part of Modern Art: THE TINY GAVEL!!! It may be the best game component ever invented. Holding the tiny gavel makes a player THE AUCTIONEER, imbued with the power that title entails. The toy factor is high with the tiny gavel, and words cannot describe how effortlessly it enables players to slip into the theme.

[JensEmilMusic]

You can really tell that Tom puts a lot of effort in his videos - all the skits/jokes and fun edits makes for such entertaining reviews!

[GarrettPetersen]

If you want to be really really good at this game, I recommend getting a PhD in economics and at least one or two courses in auction theory.

Changing the Danger Zone MIDI to add the extra syllable to make 'economy zone' fit is a touch of genius! Another great video, Tom!!

[annec]

Love the 80s vibe to the Economy Zone. The "video tape" quality and synthesizer Danger Zone-esque music is brilliant.

[beretperson]

"the economy zone is on fire!"

Just like in real life!

Wanted to let you know that within the first 30 minutes of this review hitting YouTube I watched the whole review, thought about it for 2 seconds, and ordered Modern Art. Very excited to try it out!

[mrdreadful]

I love all these weird little paintings, but i want to use that tiny gavel for nefarious purposes.
