Concordia: Venus - Shut Up & Sit Down Playthrough!

Thank you for always making shut up and sit down a channel for anyone, no matter their gender or sexuality. As a trans woman this has always stood out to me since I started watching your channel. Thank you Matt , Quinns , Paul , and everyone else who makes SU&SD happen!! <3

Annie and Chris are the real MVPs here. As Usual. :D

This group has good chemistry! Hope we see Ava in more playthroughs.

What would be the best map for 2 player ?

Looking forward to seeing more from Ava.

Great playthrough as usual, I loved the synergy in this one. Kylie really needed the free food/brick houses in Achaia/Laconia which I think would have given team Pringles Katt the win.

I was really hoping for a cat version of Mr T

I really want to see one of the interns review a game!

Oh! Ava is the person who taught me how to play Food Chain Magnate at a Brighton games club three years ago. Lovely person, great game.

I guess you could say spirit Matt is a cool ghost

i already miss Kylie :(

This channels subtle affirmations of genuine humanity and compassion in a dark and hateful modern era gives me hope for the future. Thanks for bringing Ava into the spotlight, looking forward to more from her.

For Kylie's peace of mind: you don't need to worry about your pointy amphorae falling over, they're meant to be set in brass stands!

How did Kylie sell 2 silk for 21?

Why are Matt/Kylie and Quinn/Ava sitting across from each other? Are you not allowed to show off your hands to your teammates?

The word nubbin is mentioned, Matt falls into singing Harry Nilssons rendition of Without you... you mind works in mysterious ways Sir

It took me an hour before I realized Ava is wearing a No face dress ^^

This game's actual rules and mechanics were inscrutable to me and I don't actually think it was an interesting game to watch, but I still had it on in the background for three hours because it was so fun to watch.
Matt and Quinns have great chemistry and you can tell they're good friends, but having only the two of them can be a bit sad, so it's great to see when there's a full roster of players in a game.

Tuch is the german word for cloth.

My goodness the British are passive aggressive with their teammates. No wonder Eisenhower lost all his hair.

Castles of Burgundy can be played in teams ;)

Where is Greek Pear News? How am I supposed to follow the most important events of the game without my friendly local Pear News Network?!

Awesome video!

Why does the Twitch channel have no videos?

Illustrates the ridiculous end-scoring of Concordia: nobody knows how they did until a basic arithmetic course at the end. Thanks for the playthrough though.

I am sure Twilight is a great game but this play through was so much more fun to watch/listen to. Very entertaining, great chemistry and those cookies look great i want some.

The most important question however is when are we getting the Shut Up and Sit Down CD of all original songs??

Colonists don't have to be played in other cities. You can still play to Roma/Athens.

"The player may place new colonists on the game board
each to be paid for with 1 food and 1 tool. New colonists
can be placed inside “Roma” or inside any other city
where the player owns a house."

Where did you buy your shirt Quinns? I need one of those!

War. Of. The. Ring.

What's the consensus, is this better than the original?

Why does this video have 165 dislikes?

Do more of these please! I'd love a War of the ring: Matt vs Quinns Christmas edition.

Yay Ava

Wait, why all the dislikes?

LOL! I read the title as Corona Virus.

Who's the guy on the right?

What is Quinns favorite game?

What's name of kylie instagram?

Great playthrough. This game is on my wishlist along with Five Tribes.

Coming to this late I know but even just watching the opening turns it really crystallises how much Venus (team) adds. So many nice synergies: Mercator for both players means that you're not always frustratedly having to sell one resource to buy another. Architecting in the same city as your partner to exponentially increase the output when prefecting. The nice blocking afforded by Diplomat play. So much more than I anticipated just reading the rules cold.

“Clasp the nubbin for strength” is the single greatest phrase ever uttered by Quinns.

Great. Now I will be humming the theme to Sharky and George for a week.

But what is Quinns' favorite game?!

Once again, I find myself at the end of 38 hours awake, lying in bed having not spoken a word for days, watching people who are friends with other people having fun playing games together. At least I have my cat.

Fifteen buttons!

What, it works? Oooooooh!

All Hail the Nubbin!


Spirit Matt was used very effectively.

Yeah, annoy the women who lifts weights. :)

You might need to do it a few times for it all to work right. It's a different way of thinking.

Thank you for playing this so I didn't have to! I'll keep focused on regular Concordia.

What ever happened to Kylie? I’m assuming she’s no longer a part of SU&SD.

i played concordia, tried to like it, but other than MILD, unintentional blocking, or snagging a card someone was eyeing, there is very little player interaction and not even the slightest conflict. The game plays smooth as all get out, but i didn't feel it offered enough to keep me interested.

I'm glad board games can bring normality to the table.
