I'm doing fine :) - Розваги
Love the punchy editing, and great not at all depressing jokes!
Keep up the great work!
This is a splendid review; absolutely great energy, editing and narration, loved the uplifting jokes and all while also actually doing a good in-depth review and lightning fast teach! That's an easy instant subscription!
Thanks so much :) I'll see if I can squeeze vids on here between SUSD haha. I'll try!
You do the impossible. You make me give a UA-cam video my full attention, instead of it just playing on my other monitor. Your videos are brilliant.
Board games are therapy, don't listen to your hating self.
Great energy. Always love your videos; they're wholesome madness
So this is why she got the job at SUSD.
Your editing and lines are so top tier. I just watch this and think about the effort and have a panic attack 😅🙌 good job Emily
Thank you!! Please don't have a panic attack. That's my job ✨
Great video, I love the sound effects and the humor is right up my alley. Thanks, looking forward to more!
Beats, drops, comedy timing and well explained. Awesome.
Thanks, Karl! Glad you liked it 😊
The energy of that opening. Instant subscription
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it 😊
Seconded! The momentum of the video makes those stops later so impactful!
(Hi Zawadi!)
@@somethingventured3 oh hi there Kezia, fancy seeing you here 😁
@@zawadi9949 fancy indeed 💕
Chaotic (but still informative) board game energy alongside Tom, that absolutely madman, looks like I've got a new fav! PLUS we always love more queer content!
Can't believe that bloody niemand just tried to crash your stream , trying to pretend he's an expert !!!!! Outrageous !!!
i love your transition music so much! and the whole rest of the darn thing too!
Got this game as a secret santa gift. My bejeweled victory is assured.
Hell yeah ✨
The greatest game review in the history of game reviews
Hopefully I can top it ✨
Such a great and entertaining video! And Tom!!
Thank you so much! Who's Tom?
Yay, caught up on all your videos after that weird beardy video crashing guy recommended you. I've loved them all, and am looking forward to any more you might make.
So glad you enjoyed them! I'll definitely be making more (hopefully more frequently)!
that sudden rating hit like a truck 🤣
Sold. On the channel and the game. I can see why the video took months to make! Looks like a good alternative to Jaipur, Lost Cities, Tokaido Duo etc. NINE OUT OF TENNNN
Excellent review :D Thank you
woahhhhghjhhh my top two board game youtube people in one video! they should make this illegal
~precious jewellery~
Board Games are great therapy, I‘d like to think. All love to you! And thank you for the video. 🖖
Absolutely agree! 😊 Thanks for watching!
I'd love to play 'I'm a Person but Which ?'
Hello Emily, I'm another of those unimaginative apes who just discovered your channel thanks to that goblin-child Tom but for once he's done something good, your reviews are absolutely lovely (though I'd disagree on one point boardgames are absolutely therapy 😁).
I'll lend you my copy :)
emily i’m begging you to show use your entire collection😭😭😭
I'd love to! I've packed a lot away in prep to move soon, but after that for sure! 💕
Happy to have discovered you and welcome to Shut Up & Sit Down.
This is fine work
This is still a work of art.
Thank you, that's very sweet! I'll have a new one out next week :)
This video are a hoot! Yay jewelsery!
Hi! I first saw your Phantom Ink review on SU&SD, and liked you right away. I was happy to learn you had your own channel with more to watch. It’s lovely to find another trans woman making videos about a topic I love! ☺️
Hiya ☺️ Thank you so much! So glad you're liking them! I know what you mean, it's always so so lovely to see trans representation. Proud to be part of it 🩷
Hi you're my new favorite board game reviewer 🥺💕
That's an incredibly sweet thing to say! 🩷 Thank you so much
Loved the video please make MORE
I will!
Love it 🥰 Ngl Splendor Duel gives me 7 Wonders Duel, which game should I purchase first as a newbie?
Splendor Duel might be better for someone newer to the hobby; It looks less complex than 7 Wonders Duel.
I agree, I'd say Splendor Duel is the more newcomer friendly. Though, both are really amazing! If the theme of 7 Wonders Duel is more interesting to you, I don't think there's anything that will give a newcomer too much trouble 😊
I was brought here by that browbeating that the strange "expert" who showed up in your video gave you on that other channel, SUSD. I'm on your side about this. I think you were right. I would have remembered you working over at that channel. What was that guy on about?
Anyway, great review and it looks like quite a fun game. Would love to check it out. And amazing and hilarious content you have here. Don't mind me if I subscribe to you. Cheers! 😅
Thank you so much 🩷 I appreciate the support on this matter. He's a strange strange man :(
@@EmilyandThings my absolute pleasure. And yes, he should come with a bell or a warning of some kind. Tom, is it?
ur videos are too good tbh
I thought i hated video game reviews ... And then i met this video! So much queer genius. ❤
So glad you liked it 🩷
Hilarious!
as someone who really doesn't like the original splendor, I wonder if I'd like this one.
I've played Splendor since and after Splendor Duel it honestly felt like half a game. What it adds makes the game so much better, in my opinion :)
Depends what you didn't like about it, I suppose!
@@EmilyandThings "feels like half a game" is a good way of describing it tbh. The decision space just isn't terribly interesting and the board state is too random to make any really crunchy decisions. The core loop of Splendor is fine enough, it's just too shallow... It's honestly similar to what I feel about Sushi Go come to think of it
That was hilarious…slightly worrying, I hope you actually are OK, but hilarious.
Aw thanks! Yeah, I'm actually OK haha no need to worry!
Tom is also a cry for help. Won’t someone help him? Nah. You do you.
Well, i guess im getting this for my girlfriend and i now! Hahha the trans jokes were amazing
It's really a great game! I hope you both like it!! :)
