I love how SUSD applies this level of analysis and care to a game that most board game hobbyists would dismiss without a second thought.

"We cannot resist any game that looks like it doesn't actually exist?" Oh good, I am glad I am not the only one who thought this was a fictional product.

It was a very good piece of writing.

When you immediately forget you just moved the tweezers to your non-dominant hand because you need to use that hand.

13:45 was so ready for a "shut up and sit down" line here. a shame Lees insists on rudely being a better writer than me.

I made the most *DISGUSTING* laugh when the Max Gland splash showed up. EVERYTHING on and about it is perfect, and I think he might somehow be my new favourite character on the show. But possibly only in that exact pose.

Guess we know where matt got the croutons from Tuesday's playthrough with tom over on Twitch

When you got the fuzzies wet, I thought for sure a Gremlins reference was afoot.

may I recommend a small length of something like a rope... perhaps the belt from a dressing gown... you just plop that down as a sort of ring around the play area (an it can fit any sized area because its flexible) and then if the tower falls, the fuzzies don't go a-rolling. Furthermore you can tie it around the box as a lovely soft carry handle! :D

I actually laughed out loud at drippy damp, dip damp, and "Oh, it's a sinker..." Just fantastic stuff

Is Matt not left handed?

“I’m not a Tory” is officially the greatest sentence uttered in a SUSD review.

If it has one set of rules it’s definitely a game. If it has no rules, it’s definitely a toy. If it has multiple sets of rules and isn’t a deck of cards, I think it’s fair to refer to it as either a game or as a toy, depending on how much fun it is to mess with with no rules and on whether or not you personally find “toy” demeaning.

I would never look twice at a game like this, but after this review I need this game in my life

Wow, Matt did a bit about Germany and didn't even mention ze war, he really isn't a Tory.

Fuzzy Tom's existential dread moment is brilliant, great review guys!

For such a simple game it's amazing how you can talk about it for 17 minutes in an interesting way.

Oh man, thanks for mentioning how it's called in German, no joke, it helped a lot. I wanted to get it as a light game for playing with my mother, and failed to find any copies here in a Central European country. But I remembered it's also called Die Knuffies, and I actually found it and bought it this way. Super weird that your random trivia bit actually helped me, but I'm glad it did!

I like that this review went full 'Look Around You' for a water experiment. Write that down in your copy book.

Me patiently waiting for SUSD’s review of Descent…me getting a review of a silly family game, and ordering it within the first 3 minutes of the video. Thanks Matt! Love you guys.

Watching a review of a new game (Fuzzies), and learning more than I ever understood about the dynamics of a game already on my shelf (Jenga). Thank you, SUSD.

I'm not sure exactly why, but the board game fact from Max Gland is what it took for me to pause the video and finally go to the SU&SD webpage and make a donation.

A toy is something you entertain yourself with. A game is something that entertains you.

PSA to my fellow UK SU&SD enjoyers, if you're looking for this boardgame do NOT Google "The Fuzzies UK" - you will quickly learn about a cutesy name used for product involved in the feeding of pet snakes - pictures will appear.

So, hypothecially, if every turn two fizzies fell off the tower until there were less than ten left, the game would be unending?

Yes. You now have an obligation to sit in that same chair until the day you die. Its the riskiest board game on earth. It could very well be your undoing, it might dramatically change the course of your life. It probably won't happen, but the risk is always there.

You have no idea how much I appreciate the Australian link.

Was drawn to this as soon as the video started! When you showed the penalty cards? Instantly sold! Just ordered it, thanks for the review!!

Missed opportunity to do a gremlins bit with getting them wet!

so THAT's what he was baking bread for.

Oh the horror. The first result for "Fuzzies" on Amazon is literal frozen Mice (for Reptiles... apparently)

This is why I support you guys; I wouldn't have even glanced at this game and now I want to have it 😁

Take cotton swabs. Dye them. Put them in a cup with a cap. Grab a pair of tweezers! Basically the game in a nut shell.

The answer to the age old grognard hobby horse "is this a game or is this a toy/activity" was perfect.

Leaving the "gives me the fuzzies" for the comment section like a gentleman.

bought game at about the half way point of this video. the quick setup and simple rules make it great for a kid. honestly surprised Haba didn't make something like this.

Matt is having such fun that he made the video twice as long as it could have been.

HAHAAHA look at my fancy lemon drink. It's a multipack I'm not a Tory. I love this.

I think it's more like "die k'nooffies", which is similar to how you say "knuffel" (vowels like strudel) which means hug. So it's called 'the huggies' or 'the huggables'.

Lwaxana Troi = Miss Piggy damn near killed me

i played this game rather drunk and i swore at my friends for making me play it for they were relatively sober. But then... I embraced the fear, went with the flow, became supremely confident, and even with multiple forfeits became one with the game and to their amazement I was a god at removing tribbles and handing over the tweezers with a dramatic flourish.

Honestly bread jenga sounds like it has it's own interesting maneuvering to deliver.

1:35 An excellent point- well argued Mr Lees

You didn't use your non-dominant hand. You put the tweezers in your left and then used your right.

In German, the K in Knuffies is not silent, and would be the equivalent of _The Cuties_ in English (from _knuffig_ - cute, sweet).

"Competitive bonsai with alien peas" has pretty much been me and my partner's experience so far. It's hard to find a quiet raucous game and this is definitely one.

Another great review. Thanks

Matt, serving soup during a gaming session - just like all food servings during a gaming session - is Chaotic Neutral. You're doing a good act, but the outcomes are potentially frustrating and harmful. Chaotic Evil would throw the soup at everyone involved and then maybe start a little fire.

Nice, seems like it would be good for families or as a drinking game - or a good game for drinking families (please family responsibly).

You completely missed an opportunity for a Gremlins gag when you talked about getting them wet!

Yesterday evening I was excited that there was a new video, stupidly I didn't watch it until this morning, and now I can't find it in stock in the UK anywhere :(

Oh no! The previous video said Max Gland needed to be stopped, but he's still here! You guys gotta stop him and put him in the pokey or the hooscow or whatever fun colloquial way of saying "prison" you fancy! D:
