Nice to see Quinns is a fan of the Twister ice lolly which is ALSO the name of a particularly nasty grappling move where you try to move your opponent’s spine in two directions at once. Synergy!
With as much as you enjoy mystery games, might I recommend you check out Mystery Express? Its basic core is simple: loosely, it is Clue but with TWO cards for each suspect, location, motive, and modus operandi (4 categories instead of 3). In practice, the game becomes at its core highly seductive and logic-based, as now seeing a card is no longer a brainless “check it off the list” exercise.
There are other differences too, like setting (train), time cards, and a time limit. At its core though, it is a game with a seemingly simple twist on a familiar theme that results in a radically more intensive (and satisfying) level of achievement for what the game’s genre sets out for players to do: seductive reasoning.
(And phones apparently autocorrect deductive to seductive. What is the world coming to?! Seductive still works, keeping it!)
I'm not sure how this beats battlecon let alone exceed. Yomi is just a glorified rock paper scissors with a minor bluffing element. This seems even more tenuously designed, less interesting options and uglier than yomi which is the weakest fighting series board game.
I'm a big fan of battlecon and exceed because they're elegantly designed while having all the spirit of a fighting game because distance is tantamount to being good and giving a huge layer of strategy. I'm much more interested in a review of battlecon/exceed now from you guys rather than this one off the cuff remark. Combo fighter seems more geared towards the crowd that wants to play simple games like welcome to the dungeon or love letter rather than a deep complex fighting game represented with cards…
Mage Wars is a fine game but infinitely more complex and is more like a miniatures game. I don’t see any overlap here other than they are both 2 player games. I would recommend Hero Realms first and even that’s a huge stretch.
The "Exceed" card game system is another excellent example of fighting games translated to tabletop aside from Yomi. There are 12 Street Fighter decks now, some other properties from Level99 games (the creator of the Exceed games) and even SHOVEL KNIGHT
You should try a game called lunch money. Very fun fighting game.
13:37 AND an arcade stick? Good going, nerds 🤓❤️
Ads before a SU&SD video? Congratulations on your move to Monetizationville, guys!
Why don't we ever hear from the people sitting behind you?
Do you realize that your US/UK links don't work for buying the game? it's unavailable on amazon and leisure games returns 0 results for combo fighter
Could just a few thousand more people ask "What about Yomi?", I don't think the point has been made yet.
Saying this thing beats Battlecon means I can't take this review seriously.
Maaaannnn I was ready for the stats on the worm!!!
Based on the #of characters/variety, I think battlecon is still better.
Where is it available?
You guys are the best! Might have to buy this one now.
Do a play through of War of the Ring!!
Pear’s OP and everyone knows it.
looks like a dumbed down version of Yomi?
Why pretend yomi doesn't exist?

Looks like Wwe super star showdown
Ben is lovely! Get more of interns in these 😀
Very nice old school review! Keep it up!
Beats the hell out of Battlecon? Quinns, this is just a weaker version of Yomi.
Looks like a blander version of Yomi.
Height: Intern
This does not seem more fun than Battlecon. This seems kind of boring, but maybe it’s fun as a quick game.
8:16. OMFG I FREAKING GOT A MENTAL IMAGE OF THAT XD
This or keyforge?
I greatly enjoyed this review. Please hire Ben full time. Also yay for Mage Wars. I would love to see your review of Mage Wars.
The season is slowly shifting from summer to autumn, and the weather just looks miserable.
…Yeah, that jives with everything I've heard about England.
LEET video!
Better than Battlecon… how dare you, sir.
I'm pretty damn sure I have been to the place of the last shot. Weird.
Yomi… is there an echo in here?

Looks like a good game for you to do a stream for
For me the best fighting game by far is Way of the Fighter.. I love it so much

Looks great but where can you get a copy of this?
I think Fransisco looks like Nick from L4D2
Don't pretend that Yomi doesn't exist!!!
Uk link doesn't take you to the game
Quinns also forgot Arboretum.
is sand worm the boss character in this game?
Say aren’t those your Street Masters bandannas?

100% cotton
I wish they could made a Mortal Kombat version
Comparable to Yomi??
Would love to see a review of War Chest
https://youtu.be/7qAa9WpiBBU?t=736 …Dollars? UK dollars? New Zealand dollars? Canadian dollars? Please clarify.

And what about JAB from TMG? A realtime boxing game?
