I love that this video takes exactly 20 minutes!
Can we just acknowledge for a brief moment that Efka's consistency in pronouncing the "!" in "Caesar!" every single time is just...bravo, sir, bravo.
The absolutle revulsion Elaine presents while touching the token bag for CAESAR! Seize Rome in 20 Minutes! has me in stitches. A good belly laugh and clumsily dribbling coffee all over myself started my day well enough . Thank you, I needed this! I really enjoy No Pun Included content.
Thank you guys for your marvellous content. It really helps me carry on in the middle of all this horrible noncence
2:45 I see what you did there. Also the dog apparently has an impeccable comedic timing.
The smooth jazz in the background is so incongruous with the rest of the video. But as always, an exceptionally well articulated review!
Oh my GOOSHHH!!! 🤩😍 Thanks SO MUCH for the shout out!!!🤗🥰🙌 Y'all are the absolute best and what an amazing review, Italy-ou what! I envy the dedication to the craft that is Kraft dressing being poured on 😫 Just perfect 😙👌
it was actually tartar sauce :/
This review is a both a hoot and also very helpful, which is what I expect from NPI. You two are the only folks other than SU&SD who consistently hit that mark. Thanks for bringing this game to my attention -- I think it'll be a hit for me and my wife.
I'm tickled that the subtitles keep rendering it as "Caesar sees Rome in 20 minutes" which sounds like the first episode of Caesar's UA-cam travel show.
I've heard so may great things about the gameplay in both Caesar! and Blitzkreig! I even watched SUSD having a really fun time playing Caesar on Twitch. But the themes just leave me stone cold. If they were set in space, I might be more interested, or if Caesar! was about two swans fighting for control over sectors of the same lake, maybe that would work for me? Or ice cream van drivers trying to control different territories?
Just anything that isn't the same old tired themes.
Anyway, thank you once again, Efka and Elaine, for a very earnest review! ;-)
Or maybe if one of the sides was green?
Wow! I love those theme suggestions 😍 it's really too bad most designs are so uninspired.
@@whoisbatman Obviously, that always helps! But I will play purple or black or red or most other colours really, I'd pick pink and yellow last though and both of my kids usually fight over blue.
@@hardeslaper Thank you! Have you seen SUSD's review of My City where Quinns reels off lots of wonderfully interesting themes that are so much better than the original bland generic one? I was riffing off that :-)
@@emmaplaysgreen2849 I did actually! Also wholeheartedly agreed with their jab at Magic Maze (which should have been just about robbing a mall, instead of yet another fantasy theme)
Once you said I only have 20 minutes I had to check the video length. Was not disappointed
Earflation is hitting all of us pretty hard, stay strong.
15:54 LOL...I want more of these types of games.
I’ve been wondering about this one, thanks for covering.
I loved the review. Thank you. Hahahah hilarious the review takes 20 minutes!
This has to be one of the best videos you've ever done. I loved it! Kudos! I own Blitzkrieg!: World War Two in 20 Minutes and it is great. I might have to pick up Caesar!: Seize Rome in 20 Minutes.
I appreciate Efka's comparison of Ceasar! Seize Rome in 20 minutes! and Blitzkrieg! and how he mentions that the former achieves roughly 90% of the goodness with 40% of the tokens/rules/etc. This is a big reason why I'm often pretty "out" on expansions to board games. The base game can be really great, and it really only needs more content or variants or new powers or more cards, but expansions very often add new MECHANICS, which I never felt they needed. I find that when I play board games with expansions, I'm often not liking it as much as just the base game alone, because it adds more fluff, more things to track, more things to think about, more elements to the turn, etc... when it COULD be just as good by adding just some new components and maintain the mechanics of the base game...
Anyway, that's a bit of a rant. And it took me significantly less to type out than 20 minutes.
I also greatly appreciate that this video was exactly 20 minutes long. Brilliant. Chef's kiss.
Very funny and informative! Brilliant stuff!
As a person called ' Luigi ' I am disappointed that we are not the second favourite Italian
What an amazingly well written review 👏
Absolutely brilliant!
Maybe you could start adding information about the game at the start in some sort of on screen thing? I'd love to see for instance how long a game is up front to know if it is something for me.
Did you not hear? It's about *20 minutes!*
Yeah! That'd be cool! How many players, how long and anything else relevant.
Sounds like a good idea, but I'm not sure it'll fit in the length of the video. Which is 20 minutes. The length of the video. But also the game.
Famous Italian Man timing = Italian Chef Gesture.
Elaine once again displaying her Shingeki no Kyojin chops.
I love the fact you tried to make the review in 20 minutes 😂
Tried??? I think you meant to type "succeeded" and accidentally fell onto your keyboard.
Is a dearth not a lack, rather than a plentiful store?
today I learned :/
I’m glad you said it - I was stuck between wanting to say it myself and not wanting to come across like an ass. (You managed to not come across like an ass - congratulations!)
man, you really locked into that 20 minute pocket
I think I will just wait for the kickstarter for Flügen Gük Zwei
Colonoscopy takes anything from10-60 minutes and more if it is therapeutic, Withdraw should take at least 10 mins to ensure adenoma detection remains high!
To be fair, you typically don't notice time passing during a colonoscopy...for good reason
Oof, I second that. They can feel like a neverending pain to me, unfortunately.
This game sounds like so much fun! I'm just worried that it might be a dull slog of a game. Did he mention how long it takes to play?
twenty minutes
@@NoPunIncluded Wow, that's amazing! They really should make a big deal of that on the game box.
Great comedy here, team NPI!~
Caeser!? I hardly know her!
No? Okay, that seems fair. I'll head out...
UA-cam algorithm help. Love the review.
Thanks for another great video =D
Norwegian fractions of a crone is called "ører", or "ears".
how did you get the dog to bother mario?
*stands up and claps*
Haha great video!
Would have been a great review If only he bothered to mention gameplay time. Oh, well,
Veni Vidi Vici...This was fun! Really!
Nice video!
But does it take 20 minutes, though?
Sorry, how long is this game? I don't have hours to spend on gaming at the moment
twenty minutes
jealous that his blitzkrieg copy is better looking than mine.
This was the only copy I could get! Little did I know they changed the art.
Please put Elaine waving in the background of all shots, thank you.
This review should come with a doctor's warning, not to use the word Cesar! In a drinking game. Most people would be on a coma by the time the review finished, even if the review was...how much time again? Ohhhh, clever
But you didn’t include the prep time for colonoscopy and post-op!
Ears? Are "Pigsears" okay? Or is it weird that german sweet baked goods are called "Schweineohren" (Pigsears)?
How long does it take to play?
twenty minutes
Weird. Quinn's claimed Caeser was the deeper experience
Please stop hurting yourself by getting objects thrown at your head, I care about your well-being!
Although somewhat on topic, I hope you didn't pop an ear with that.
How long is that review ?
20 minutes
Am I the only one, who is uncomfortable with the name "Blitzkrieg!"? I may be over sensitive due to family history reasons, but for me it honestly is a no go.
👍
🌽🌽🌽🌽 lending all the ears I can.
Wait it's out??
Can we do one time donations to support the channel? It won't be much, but I could buy you a coffee... :)
Found it on the website :)
Seizing cities 😐😐😐
☹️
unpleasant to touch, ad infinitum
Your review is also 20 minutes! The coincidence! Or was it on purpose....
It's too perfect to be a coincidence
The video title may also offer a hint.
First 10 sec. Love
