Wavelength Review - How Much Do You Love Your Mum? 

One important point that I think isn't clear in the video: the clue giver doesn't choose the location of the dial point zone, it is random. They spin it with the cover shut and then look at it to see where they're trying to get folks to guess.

I must say, Tom is doing a great job. It's always hard to welcome a new face into a youtube channel that you love, but Tom is pulling it off. Go Tom!

I really appreciate the transparency on the part of SUSD.

Does anyone else reeeeaaaalllly love how the green handle will slowly slide itself over to the side and gently land in place? Cause i really love that. I went ooooo the first time I saw, paused the video, rewind and watched it again. Production value!!

Had an amazing round where my mum had the card: a sandwich | not a sandwich and the clue she gave was 'lasagne'. the resulting conversations made us all laugh so much! (the target was mostly towards the 'a sandwich' side jsyk)

“It pulls up into town with a handbreak turn!” 😂 amazing. Also Matt awkwardly/apologetically setting up a game for a new and moderately unenthusiastic group! Absolutely relatable!

I feel like Matt has been waiting a while to do the "Mighty Boosh Moon" thing.

Please don't stop making your warm-hearted, humor-filled, expertly-edited, content-ladened, highly creative videos. You bring laughter and lightness into my life and I so appreciate you for doing that! :)

This will be a hit during the months and years of social isolation ahead of us. Just me and the cats, and Wavelength.

13:15 GRAPHIC BOARD GAME PIECE DAMAGE, WATCH AT OWN RISK

So... I've played Wavelength (cooperatively) at two, and it was fun. I just can't recommend playing it solo. It reminded me of how little i know myself.

This game is freaking insane I have brought it with me everywhere, played with everybody and everyone loved it, including: - my grandma - coworkers - random drunks at the pub - Uncles - Roommates And I can verify that at least a majority of people listed here actively hate me and/or fun. Yet they all loved playing this game. Awesome pick for anyones the shelf! Just... forget about the points. No one cares about those.

The lore of the SUSD universe gets even deeper. Episode 153: Tom becomes immortal. Time to update the wiki

Brain “Night is for sleep.” Also brain “Shut Up Sit Down is more important than sleep.”

I bought this game thanks to you and I must say ; thank you! The game arrived today and I tried it with my wife, it was an absolute hit, we played it for over two hours , just taking turns and laughing a lot after getting it right Plus the quality of the components is great! This game is amazing for everyone , parties , family and even between just 2 people taking turns.

I keep seeing these wonderful party games that I can''t help but think "Oh that would have been great to play in class with my students (ESL)" and then I remember I don't teach anymore.

the ending of this video is the best piece of art i've ever experienced in my life.

Fantastic review Matt and Tom!!! I admire your perspective on "the point" of games and play in this video!

The choice sound/music of the last few reviews has been wonderful. :D

My word your choice of lighting and depth of field is lovely

As per the designers recommendation: Give the “shield piece” a quick upward flick for a crisp reveal. Try it, it’s nice.

my brain: sentient dial can't hurt you sentient dial: 15:42

The only and best board game review I’ve ever seen. Engaging, hilarious, and thorough. Kudos!

Wavelength was my SHUX19 highlight! Joining a game in progress with 12 or so people and immediately getting on with everyone was incredible. The conversations were great: insightful and hilarious! Where is "milk chocolate" on a light/dark scale? Is it a chocolate scale, or a colour scale? Is white chocolate even chocolate?! Immediate pre-order from me as soon as I played it. And there's nothing like the feeling of your team being EXACTLY on your wavelength, hitting the spectrum dead in the middle.

You are amazing! Keeping me entertained for two years now! The only show that i save for later like chocolate!

These videos are what's getting me through the quarantine, thanks, guys!!

By some chance, we're playing Wavelength this evening live on RU-vid with viewers doing the guessing. Come join in!

You had me at "I got it from a guy called Wolfgang...like a gang of wolves...but a man"

That dolly with the teal concealment dial wiping was a really well executed shot. Bravo. Also, as someone who has worked in Journalism: Honesty never hurts, and transparency is the standard bearer of truth, so I applaud your frank, cards-on-the-table, metaphor-mixing forthrightness. (Also, indie video game inspired card idea: )

Kickstarted this game after hearing it on the podcast. It became an instant hit among my friends, it provides such great stand up moments haha. Thanks for the video!

Hi! I come from from a future where you made a video playing Dune. It was good! People clicked the like button multiple times!

That last bit with the dial was very mighty boosh!

This game reminds me a lot of a (I think) not that well known game called Therapy, where there's a bit of Trivial Pursuit mixed in there but with a lot of questions going based off "How well do you know the person(s) you're playing with?" ... which is intriguing.

13:52 Reminds me of a game my self-help book loving grandmother used to make us play as children: The Ungame. We became keenly interested in Monopoly after that, also physically torturing each other. Connecting with people sounds good on paper, but nothing can compare to connecting with someone by staring them in the eye and watching them cry inside as your master plan becomes strategic reality.

I just bought this completely because of your end comments. I got Concept many years ago after playing it competitively with a group of mates. But once I got it home I played it with my family as a coop experience. And it became a favourite that has continued to this day. We haven't played it competitively ever since. I have a feeling wavelength is going to do exactly the same thing.

The zoom in on Matt at 10:17 slayed me.

I love the disclosure and truthfulness that is posed befor the review.

Got a bit Mighty Boosh there, did we?

Got a great big MIGHTY BOOSH vibe at the end there!!! I miss the moon....

This is such a great review. You guys are brilliant.

Thanks for being upfront with your relationship and your approach.

The END! -- so good Thank you guys for making quarantine a great time!

Saw this in the dev section of PAX Unplugged a couple of years ago. So glad it's doing so well!!

With all the social distancing the world is enduring, how about some reviews of good solitaire board games?

We’ve loved this game @treehousesheffield since it came out! We’ve even made up some of our own cards (which has to be an expansion coming soon right?) “Leg Day Mouth Feel” is the winner so far.

thumbs up for the end-of-review analogy turn around

Hahaha yes! I take me some Matteo with a side of Tom-a-tio any day! Your reviews are like a little funny tv show episodes with some honest feedback about a board game. Keep it up. Thanks for making me laugh.

What is the music playing around 14:00? I feel like it's from a movie I've seen.

When the scoring zone is fully to one side? Does an outer edge of scoring appear on the opposite end? Like in 11:11

As soon as I heard about this on Kickstarter, it was a no-brainer. I absolutely love it.

I can always trust them to be good reviers and be honest. Thanks for helping me to find one to add to the collection.

Very impressed by the vertigo zoom at 12.40

Thank you for the disclaimer at the start

I got this and all elements of my version seem less "smooth", when I spin the wheel I get a real crunchy sound and the teal door does not slide over automatically like that. I've tried adjusting the screws in the back, anyone else have this issue/any fixes?

The same thing of the group end up not caring about score and teams and all whenever we play Dixit. It's a testament to a good experience.

okay, that last bit will haunt my nights forever. Thank you, SUSD.

One small failing of the mechanical design of this game is shown multiple times in this video -- accidentally moving the spinner when attempting to reveal. Have to be real careful about it. That being said, still love the game.

Played this with coworkers (albeit incorrectly), but it's a fantastic conversation starter!

Keep the warm jam coming!

Wavelength is brilliant. I took it to add to the game pile to play in January between panto performances. Everyone loved it, even those that normally don't join in the games. we always ended up taking turns in the not quite long enough for another game but still got time to kill.

Have you started using music in background? I don't remember there being music before.

I love the game and love teaching it. But the white portion of the dial *moves* when you try to close or open the cover. It can completely knock the scoring range out of wack. It even happens in the video when Tom tries to move it.

Oh hell yes to the Slime City t-shirt!

SUSD got me into boardgames. But damn you to a warm jammy pit, Matt Lees! I've been sitting on wavelength waiting for it to drop a couple measly bucks. Now I'll be lucky if it doesn't sell out.

Big mighty-boosh-moon vibes on that end scene

Hahahahahah!!! So funny!! SU&SD is better than any sitcom ++ its educational for your hobby!

Are you guys going to come up with a list of suggestions for games best suited to "social distancing"?

Liking the Slime City shirt, Matt!

love the ending! Creepy but great!

An important rules quibble (that makes the game way more interesting!): if the psychic cannot see the entire band of the '4' on the score range, they have to spin the white dial again. As such, clicking all the way to the left or the right is rarely if ever the right call (unless you just are happy with the "off target" points)

omg is that music from DAYS OF HEAVEN at about 14 minutes in?!?!

Very nice dolly zoom at 12:34. Didn't go unnoticed.

Thats numberwang

Oof love that dolly zoom after the reveal that it's not that good a game ❤️

When board game youtubers are better at being transparent journalists than actual journalists 🤔🤔🤔

It's funny, because Amazon kept putting it in my recommendations but when I read the description I didn't think it was a good fit for me and my game group. Now that I see this review I"m mad I didn't just pick up a copy. I think we could had fun and draw in those people in our social circle who normally, "don't like games."

That ending was very Boosh

That ending was the scariest thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

The fucking end of that video gets my oscar

Holy Dail Batman - Jeeze - Great review guys!

That’s when you bring out the backgammon!

I got to try this a month or two ago. While I had some laughs, I honestly have no desire to play it again. Good for emergency entertainment in large gatherings i guess..

I love dangerously contentious situations.

Oh god. I wasn't looking at the screen near the end. And when I turn around because of that sultrysultry voice, what do I see? A MONSTER!

Can't believe I actually whispered a "Oh that's sexy....!" at a board game review. About a game I've played. Because of how nicely a dial moved.

I have to say that I kick started this game and since I got my copy every person who plays just wants to play more and buy their own copy because we had such a good time every time. The best is to play with a culturally diverse group ( my group is a mix of americans, europeans and asians and it creates the funniest situations).

Spot on (while super Random) Impression of the moon

Tom has also become a classic. IT seems like he's also been here forever.

While we're all in quarantine can you do an episode on the best games you don't have to be together to play? Or maybe best app versions of board games?

How sturdy is the dial? I'd be somewhat concerned that it might get loose and not hold its position after repeated play.

After Matt said Wavelength was there the whole time, I was legit expecting a Shining like close up on a picture where the game was already on the shelf dozens of years ago.

Sadly my husband had a terrible time when we played this with a game group. He was on a team that had two players who didn't really listen to anyone else, even with 4 other people on the team. They suffered a crushing defeat despite my husband being dead right many times, especially when I had given the clue to my team, and they were going for the extra point. It ended up being more frustrating than fun. I hope he'll try again with different people. Rotating who makes the final decision on the extra point and who sets the dial would probably help. Some party games give you a little more agency (like Monikers or Fake Artist), but Wavelength is one that really depends on the group.

YAS for the SLIME CITY shirt!

Moomin mug! I have that one. Well, I have tons of them, but still, MOOMIN MUG! MOOMIN! MUG! ... OK, I'm calm n...MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!

Chameleon is in a similar field where you can just play it any arbitrary length of time, not keeping score, and still have fun.

I got this game just before the social isolation rules in my country and I had to cancel my gamegroup. Hope I can try it soon! What a nice conclusion. I love games that are more of a social gathering like Dixit and Concept. I collect these types of games. Anyone got some recomendations?

My dial doesn't have that nice slowly rotating action. :(

You would most definitely struggle to get it to the pub at this moment in time!

Dial Face Matt is horrifying and is going to give me nightmares, love the show

I find telestrations to be one of those games that the scoring doesn't matter at all.
