I’ve got War of the Ring…I’ve got no-one to play it with, but one day if someone I meet at random says they want to play it, I want the option to. It’s an aspirational game for me.
After each video it's like… check bank account. But I wantsss it….
I love this as a 4 player go-to game
Is Matt alright? Because he sounds like he is suffering from a burn out. stay sane buddy.
wait, you and Tom are living together?
It's nice to hear Matt's ludological analysis again. It seems to have been on hiatus recently, so a welcome return!
This review cracked me up. Awesome sensibilities all around, as always. And I super wanna play this game. The full War of the Ring boardgame looks awesome, but a little too involved and time consuming for my wife’s taste. This however might be spot on.
Did anyone else get vertigo from the geometric adventure tube or was that just me? 😂🤢
Iam so grateful for your content. Thank you very much.
You really had me checking the well-being of Sean Bean, followed by Rowan Atkinson.
You folks are still the best in the business at what you do. The entertainment value is off the charts.

Team Based Cards? Oi, Innovation still exists with its 2v2 rule! And Unmatched works swell for quick romps between exactly two or exactly four players.
Very funny review
Seems like quite a neat game :)! Thank you for the review <3
Matt–famously not my mother.
The t-shirt is awesome!
3:57 – 5:00 I feel this in my soul!
Great review and rundown of the game Matt. A friend owns the main game but he’s not one for reading rules and so the first, and only, time we played the game was when he unwrapped it and tried to read the rules as we were trying to play. Never again…
So I’ve had it for years now, sitting on my shelf and I’ve tried on a few occasions to grok the rules but it’s pretty intense so this version really appeals to me.
I’ve also got Star Wars: Rebellion and really love it since I’m more of a Star Wars guy than a Lord of the Rings guy so I don’t feel the need to own War of the Ring: 2nd Edition myself but I’d still like to play it at least once before my friend sells it.
Another great review. My birthday’s coming up, and I was thinking of buying myself a new game. Between these 3, Hansa Teutonic, Concordia, and Century: Eastern Wonders, which should I get?
It's canon now, Tom is Gollum Quinns
so that's how the box got that dent from the beginning
Is everything O.K., Matt?
Good to know. Thank you.
I just had to pause the video at "Breakfast-deviant Children-men" OMG the best description of hobbits ever. Line of the year.
Best intro I've seen in a long time lol hmmMMMMmmmmm!!
If only Magic the Gathering would make a Lord of the Rings set.
How does it cost 50 dollars or more for just cards??
Why do hobbits look so sexy in this one?
So, from the review, I'm getting – yeah it's good, but it's no Top Trumps. Cheers Matt.
Matt forgot his male privilege when he did the pocket gag lol
I can't believe the origin story of Tom was revealed.
TIL there was a board game version of War of the Ring. I only knew the BFME version.
I will be your Sean Beans in your burrito of needs.
Has anybody ever to quinns he looks like the guy who talks to the people in willy wonka right after they find a golden ticket?
I just played this last weekend and loved it! Easy to set up and easy to take down, and the cards help to remind you of the rules and flow of play.
I’m really excited to play the 2v2 mode with my friends, and I think it’s a great substitute for the gargantuan board game which most casual board gamers would find intimidating.
I would love to play the proper War of the Ring board game one day, but for now this card game is a great alternative to easily jump in & jump out with my group of friends.
Matts use of language is one of my favourite parts of SUSD
That Wavebird joke was very real, I felt that
Glad to see that you recognize the greatness of Undertale ❤
thanks for another wonderful video – entertaining and informing me what I should buy …… I'm buying
"Why won't these breakfast deviant children men just die?"
Nice review.
So is it a great, fantastic game or just an average?
1:07 I am dead.
…But does it come with a 2 million dollar one ring card?
It’s such a joy to hear Matt’s cloudy thoughts on game design.
Matt finally solves the Eagle problem: Eat them and sell the ring on Etsy
Hold on a tic, does he have TWO copies of Cockroach Poker?!? The luxury!
I think it would've been interesting to at least mention the LotR:LCG by FFG. Different kinds of games, but also similar in a way.
1:07 XDD
I like Toms shirt fitting with the cover art of the box
