This game accurately recreates the feelings you get doing business with eldritch abominations. You get a lot of cool crap and have a great time killing your friends with tentacle monsters, but deep down you never quite stop regretting what it cost you.
It's on Tabletop Simulator and if you dig through the internet/BGG you might find the Print'n'Play standee version that their french community manager made.
@@1183newman it's definitely expensive... The existence of something that's more expensive doesn't make it less so... That's like saying that a Porsche 911 isn't expensive because a Bugatti Veyron costs more. That's not how it works, they're just both expensive
you forgot some words : To me To me, its not expensive. bc surprise, you're not the one relevant decider of monetary worth, just because you swim in money doesn't mean everyone else ought to accept your skewed idea of the worth of money
The newsletter is actually really entertaining and full of good content and resources for any SU&SD fans looking for that one extra reason to support the channel. :)
As one of the people who occasionally comments that he misses the older style of long, narrative Shut Up and Sit Down videos, thank you for making this. It's nice to occasionally get stuff that goes back to the show's roots.
Drat - well I suspect that this means that you'll not take up my offer for a review of Glorantha: the Gods War, because it is a very similar game (and really great, and yes, very expensive).
What is this beige, fashionable, nice man doing in my SU&SD comment section? You're appearance here is making me assume, that Matt and Quins' next video will be titled "Some points about board games"
well Lindybeige - I would be thrilled to see if I can get you a Glorantha The Gods War. E-mail me. We are reprinting it next year so a review would be timely.
I only played this game once, but I was the Yellow Sign and the "Aha!" moment I had when I figured out how I could use my powers to essentially play a different game than everyone else remains one of my favorite board gaming moments.
And as you thought it would be your last game you wanted it to be BIG. I love taking it to conventions. I have every expantion released so far and kickstarted the new ones looking forward to playing a game with all 11 factions! Including space cats...
I adore the Lovecraftian theme, I've been a fan of his writings for many, many years. The 28mm scale is a service to the fans, despite the increased price point, and I personally thank you for it. It's wonderful to see SU&SD give this game such a good review. Looks like I'm finally going to have to bite the tentacle and get me a copy.
@@ClockworkWyrm I just got it (thanks unexpected work bonus, I couldn't have afforded it otherwise) and it is indeed huge fun, hope you find a copy (seems to be out of stock a lot of places in the UK).
A great review for a great game. The criticism of the cost is warranted, however the reason things are the scale they are is that they are molded in 28mm miniature scale for use with other games. For example, the game does double duty for us since we also use the figures for Arkham Horror LCG. This is an edge case of course, but for those looking for well-made Cthulhu figures for other reasons will be well satisfied with this game for that reason. (even though the game itself is great fun)
Still would be nice if there was a budget option that has thick cardboard standies or some other, far cheaper to manufacture stand in to reduce costs in place of the plastic miniatures. That way people who want to play and not break the bank can, and those who are willing to spend the extra for the plastic for its multiple uses and/or just want the cool minis.
I was staring at those figurines and doing math and thinking "Man, that's a really good deal for a lot of high-quality D&D miniatures if those are in the right scale."
Sandy Petersen wanted to create miniatures for Call of Cthulhu, and saw that the best selling miniature games on kickstarter were for board games. So he made one to bundle with his miniatures. This is half the reason there's no "budget" version, the other half is that the bucket of plastic version sells very well, and the company likely is better served by producing expansions than a "budget" version that would invariably eat into the sales of the main game.
Myeh. I love Cthulhu Wars but the miniatures arent particularly highly detailed or high quality. Also in 95% of my games the miniature size gets in the way of actually putting the miniatures on the areas.
I want someone to make an actual Asymmetric Negotiation Hidden-Movement Real Time Train War game. I don't know what it would be about, but it sounds like it be fun.
Two games combined, with different players playing different (but interlocked) games. The first group of players is playing a train company game (during wartime), where they move troops and supplies as multiple companies over railroads. The other group is playing a wargame, where they rely on the train companies for logistics. The armies change the routes, adds and removes destinations, and can set demand and supply. The companies help support the armies, and have information on where the other armies are located (as they are the ones which move them). Of course, any train company can support just one side of the conflict, but the most profit can be made by helping every side of the conflict. But anger one faction too much and your routes may be destroyed and you suddenly have little clientele. And any army can decide to just use one singular train company, but competition helps drive down prices, allowing for a much more effective army.
As a Warhammer-40k player I looked at that price tag and thought "what a deal!" I know, it's sad amd I try not to think about how much I've spent over the years. That being said, this thing looks to be a blast to play and I would live to paint these models.
The miniatures are actually available separately from Fenris Games, but buying Cthulhu wars is the cost of just the Old Ones, therefore If one just wants it for the miniatures it is a great deal.
Great Review! Right praise, right criticism. I've demoed Cthulhu Wars at ~5 conventions over the past two years. That game breaks my back bringing it in, and most people frankly aren't interested in buying it... while at the same time remembering it from last year and loving it enough to sign up for it again.
I always feel *major creeps* every time they bring beverages and food near expensive board games...! _card sleeves, washing hands and full hazmat suits for the win!_
@@photoben felt probably like arriving home early and accidentally catching my parents doing it naked in the living room... a lot of sudden yells, screams, shudders, curses and tears of unexpected shock and regret of having witnessed that... 😨
Please please please do a game stream playing this … I can see that being a total blast to watching the entire SUSD and NPI crew playing. Funny. I had to edit the post. First time I said "paying this".... corrected to playing .. but watching someone paying this would probably be entertaining too ...
I just discovered you all and while I am far too poor to donate anywhere near what I think your work is worth, I'm going to try and figure out a way of getting you something on a monthly schedule since by god, you really have brightened my life at a time when I really, really needed that! Cheers and hears hoping for a VERY merry new year for Shut Up and Sit Down!
On second thought, the non-euclidean reference pear could represent non-euclidean geometry perfectly well if someone drew some lines across its surface.
Me too, I got Dune after their review, would NEVER have even looked at it otherwise thanks to it's rep as being insanely complex but it's fantastic and even a dunderheard like me found it pretty easy to learn.
It's been exactly one year since this review was launched into the world and I've watched it at least a dozen times. It has become a comforting routine, like rewatching a movie you really like. It is possible that the unusual times we're currently living in has something to do with it as well, as many people like to have something to hold on to. SU&SD is just one of those things that keeps me going as a board gamer while the community has been put into a forced quasi-hiatus. It's a testament to your solid formula. You guys are great and I applaud you for the level of detail you put into your reviews *and* find time to play as many games as possible. Thank you for the positivity; the world needs it.
This game would be so cool, if it wasn't so unnecessarily massive and extremely expensive... staying with Chaos in the Old World until something else comes out
Even though I’m late to the party I really enjoy your channel!! It took me a long time to figure it out but I love war games with a dice combat system. Now that I’ve seen this video I’m torn between Eclipse, Twilight Imperiam and now Cathulu Wars!
Yeah I agree. I get a lot of shit from other BGers for having CW in a total collection of no more than about 15 games. They're comparing this to their own bloated collections of 300+ games, of which they play perhaps 5 regularly. My top 15 are in constant circulation. I'd rather CW than a hundred of their mediocre games.
my personal recommendation for Cthulhu wars is if you are at all interested in miniature collection buy it for those because it's actually really cheap for the minis you are getting and then you get a really good game on top of it
I admit I saw the box and was like "Oh, Sandy Petersen? Probably a pretty good game then." the CoC pen and paper RPG is a really elegant and versatile piece of RPG design, one of my all time favorites. It would be nice to own a big KS plastic and dice heavy game that I dont check out of half the time like I do when I'm playing Kingdom Death: Monster.
I can't donate how much I think SU&SD is worth because that means emptying my bank account and I need to eat. Love you guys' work! Seeing a new video always makes me happy. Also, nice use of a cube escape sound effect!
I love all your reviews but this one might be my favorite. Great job and yes, you have helped me IMMENSELY in picking some good games and avoiding some that really aren't for me. Someday I will get a large enough group of friends in one location that will justify me buying Twilight imperium...someday... Edit: Tried to donate $5, got an "internal server error". Sorry mates. I'll check with you around Christmas maybe Post Edit: Looks like it went through. Enjoy the $5!
I've made the same comparison between this game and Root, but with the opposite conclusions. I love that this video about a game with overly expensive expansions ends with Food Chain Magnate expansion in the background... ]:>
Love this review, as usual. Some of my favorite games have come from your recommendations: Ra, Lords of Vegas, Concordia. What I would love to see from you guys is some form of legendary short list. Games that have not only been recommended, but that you're still playing consistently after 3-5 years -- meaning that your original love hasn't waned. I can't buy every game you recommend, as much as I would love to, and thus far I have gone after the ones that seem recommended.. most? Especially ones that come up time and time again in reviews for other games. Seeing this distilled into some form of list would be just amazing.
Great review of one of my favourite games. Because knowledge is power and power is doom: the designer Sandy Petersen designed also the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game way back and has made the Lovecraft lore in this game deep, truthfull and innovative with true passion. +Fun
Hi Quinns, I love your videos and sometimes I think they're the funniest thing ever! One of my favorite videos was the Oink Games review. You asked if we wanted another one. I would really love another one! BTW my favorite part was when you said you would invest in Startups and then Matt said "Is that because it's a game about investment?" Your reaction was priceless! Love you guys!
If you read this SU&SD i think your content is great... you got crazy humor and good thoughts on games and i'll donate half my fortune when i one day get one... unfortunately i'm a broke student and cannot afford to donate much, but at least you can get a happy hollydays from Denmark :)
Great review! I'm one of the nuts that backed all of it, past the 1st KS campaign that is. I saw the original price tag and noped out of that, then bought the base game from a store on a bit of a sale (130ish) and backed the second onslaught and beyond. It is expensive and takes a ton of room (and is a pain to take to meetups), but it's a lot of fun and adding the extra factions and neutral beings you can summon really add a lot of variation to how it plays. You can play up to 8 people with the larger maps although I've never played above 5. Really fun, great player interaction, plays fast too-we can get a 4 player game on Earth done in 45 minute to an hour easily with experienced players.
I have 2 battlefoam 1470 and 720 that I roll to cons with my entire copy there is a guy on BGG that makes a foam insert for them that makes setup so fast
Thanks to you guys I have bought Twilight Imperium, Inis, Concordia, Cosmic Encounter, Cyclades and lots of others! Will definitely be donating once my wallet has recovered from the brutal beating it has taken.
If anyone deserves patreon money it's SUASD. One day I'll dump a bunch of money on you, but I am not flush these days. I've without a doubt bought games because of this show. Fullstop, you curated my games collection.

I saw the original price tag and noped out of that, then bought the base game from a store on a bit of a sale (130ish) and backed the second onslaught and beyond. It is expensive and takes a ton of room (and is a pain to take to meetups), but it's a lot of fun and adding the extra factions and neutral beings you can summon really add a lot of variation to how it plays. You can play up to 8 people with the larger maps although I've never played above 5.
Really fun, great player interaction, plays fast too-we can get a 4 player game on Earth done in 45 minute to an hour easily with experienced players.
I have 2 battlefoam 1470 and 720 that I roll to cons with my entire copy there is a guy on BGG that makes a foam insert for them that makes setup so fast
Lindeybeige AND HFM?
Triple nerd power, behold!
The Hand of Useless Knowledge has appeared!
Love what you are doing. Happy Christmas to all of you
Non-euclidian Reference Pear is my Strawberry Alarm Clock cover band.
Don't think I don't notice that FCM expansion box conspicuously framed at the end, Quinns!
Thanks to you guys I have bought Twilight Imperium, Inis, Concordia, Cosmic Encounter, Cyclades and lots of others! Will definitely be donating once my wallet has recovered from the brutal beating it has taken.
That 'shit' at the end got me so hard, great video guys :)
It's a good game. Yes, it's expensive, but it's an impressive presence.
If anyone deserves patreon money it's SUASD. One day I'll dump a bunch of money on you, but I am not flush these days. I've without a doubt bought games because of this show. Fullstop, you curated my games collection.
A swipe at KDM?!!! You take that back! KDM is a saint!
Your skits are always good, but this was fucking amazing
I do not understand why they labeled this video as innapropiate, It’s a board game review for God’s sake, Well I guess welcome to youtube
20 seconds in, thumbs up for Quinns wearing a brown sweater that matches the brown drink and brown board game - all the colors of Christmas! 🙂
From January 2021: AAAAAAHHHHH! Why are you that close to another human?
Annihilated and overdue books should never be said in a sentence together
What's the best in life : " live your life..... and end theirs". Genius
This game is 'Chaos in the Old World'. Cleaned up, more expensive and with better quality plastic.
