Emily definitely fits with the silliness and sense of humor of Shut Up & Sit Down, and these games all look like great brain teasers! A triumphant debut, I’d say! Welcome to the team, Emily! And look, a cameo from Friend Of The Channel Pip!
As someone who plays a LOT of solo games, Emily definitely captured the feeling when someone says "wait, there are solo board games?" and you begin to tell them about as many amazing games as you can before they run away. I feel seen. Thanks Emily.
Love the jokes and the content but whew, this felt like watching a video on 2x speed the whole way through! Looking forward to seeing more from Intern/full-employee/recently fired Emily though. (And the Pip talk was a particularly excellent gag)
man everytime it looks like SUSD is verging even slightly into losing it's edge they pop a wheelie, rev up a ramp, flip and fall onto their face and get up and bow and run at the ramp, this time on foot and succeeeding on foot, and leaping off the top of the ramp to freeze frame in eighties success pose. Fantastic vide, love emily, funny, witty, both expanding and fitting with the SUSD vibe beautifully. All my congrats again gang.
I love your sense of humor and comedic timing lol, but I honestly was really excited by the title since I've been building up my solo gaming collection lately. Mostly a lot of games that are cooperative, but have an option to be played solo, so it's nice to see games made to be played solo entirely and I really want to try Dorf and Northwood! Also, I was right there with you on the childhood thing lol. No one wanted to play Monopoly or Risk with me so I just played multiple characters to see who would win.
Tom and Emily are bringing the weird spark that makes SUSD so unique in the board game spice. Quinns you know how to pick em. Loving the direction of the channel nowadays.
This is, without a doubt, one of my favourite videos from youtube. I almost know it by heart now and still makes me laugh. I really love the editing. Thank you 🥰
Not a channel regular by any means, so this is the first I've seen of Emily. But I like her, she seems like a good fit for SU&SD. The "Oh, NOW you do it!" towards the end, when she clicked her finger and the game magically appeared next to her made me laugh more than it probably should have :)
Emily, you absolutely CRUSHED this! I have been solo gaming for about a year or so, and totally feel the same way! Truly you killed it, what a great video and I ugly laughed many times! Thanks for great reviews and a great video :)
@maximusboscus I'm not going all Liam Anderson on you, though I sort of have the impulse. If she calls herself Emily, I can call her a girl (or, as an older white cis het male, a "young lady"). Her (of that's the correct pronoun) choice. I'm not offended on her behalf, I'm just upset as a human being. Unless I'm trying to date a person I don't care their sex or gender or orientation. Though I really would say you should date the person, not their reproductive organs....
Yup. Nor do they care about your feelings. Yeah, I should not feed the troll, I know. Sex and gender are different things (and unless you or me are trying to date her this is none of our concerni). As is grammatical gender, and use of the general masculinum form, which encompasses all sexes or genders (unless in western Norway, where thie "masculinum" is the utrum, that is used for anything non-neutrum, and we don't have a femininum form). I'm so glad for the Swedish construct of 'hen" (meaning I don't care, could be either or, not relevant). I f' ing despise the apparent political correctness in other languages....
This video is a textbook example on how infotainment should be done. Every second was solid gold and Emily feels like a perfect addition to the team. Looking forward to all new content 🤩
Emily is killing it already. This is going right up there with Tom's review of all the Railroad Ink expansions as one of my favorite SUSD videos of all time
This was honestly the SU&SD video that made me laugh the most. I've watched for years and laughed along, but this was hysterical from start to finish!! Emily, welcome aboard - this was incredible, can't wait to see more!
If Emily has appeared on the site before, I am disappointed that I missed it because she is knocking it out of the park with this one. The video has that smart-fast-talking vibe of early SUSD episodes, but with amazing editing and a darkly humorous theme throughout. Stuff like the neat trick when the RESIST board sets itself up shows a great amount of effort for such a small moment, but it really does add so much to the video. And then doubly happy about the topic of the video, since solo games and puzzles are some of my favorite "chill out" hobbies.
I dont know if I commented the first time I watched this one, but in case I didnt, Emily is so so very good, great jokes, awesome review. This is her first vídeo (second aperence) on the channel and this vídeo is on Tom level of comedy and delivery. Great hire!
This was, by far, my favorite board game related video I’ve seen all year! So funny. So informative. So very entertaining. I can’t wait to see what’s next!
Emily, welcome! This video has been super fun. I love how the jokes and skits are played on several different levels. Making the script for this must have been so hard. And I must admid I laughed so hard when you said "Do you like your money? That's a shame, cause so do we." And that is the reason you have my money.
I am HERE for Emily’s awesome delivery and silky Aussie accent. So awesome to hear some classic downunder deprecation on SUSD. Great reviews too, I love the description of what you’re trying to do and how you could or should do it - not just a presentation of the mechanics/rules of the game.
This gave me pleasant memories from the Paul Era, when Paul was "trapped" in Canada and mostly did solo reviews, yet still interacted with everyone through various skits and segments. Welcome, Emily!
Such a great first video - so much content too - and so well delivered... SUSD are so good at finding fantastic communicators to talk about games. It gets better with a rewatch too - as it's so densely layered. Brilliant.
Informative, funny, detailed information & genuine insight about games I would not have known about or tried on my own. Great work! Much appreciated. Will likely pick up at least one of these.
I have played or owned 4 of these games, and she summarized all of them in 5 minute better than any other individual video I have seen. I didn't need to watch this video really, but it was very fun to watch.
Welcome, Emily! How did the SU&SD team manage (yet again) to find someone with their own distinct voice who also fits so well with the rest of the style? I look forward to looking forward to Emily videos!
I was on the fence initially, but you convinced me. The jokes were funny, the games were interesting and also very well-explained. The editing is very clean cut, some comments say that the video is too fast but I didnt feel that at all (which I do feel with some of Tom's reviews though, love you Tom). Laughed out loud at the northwood finger snap call back at the ending, that was very smart and I love how little attention was payed to that. Welcome Emily, I look forward to seeing more videos by you, its such a shame you cant be on the same videos with the London trio but I'm excited to see what happens next.
I don't think I've laughed this hard and vibed this much with one of SU&SD's presenters. The channels been a great source of comfort and laughter for a long time; the addition of Emily turns all of that up to 12 (I wrote the number in after 11). Glad you're on board, Emily.
Your editing in this one is PHENOMENAL! Next level stuff.
Truly impressive editing!!
this video was so good, it made 16 minutes feel like 5!
Wait… it really was 16 minutes? Get out a here…
We all lost time, something is clearly up here! Will sue!
So good, and so funny. I laughed nearly constantly.
Emily definitely fits with the silliness and sense of humor of Shut Up & Sit Down, and these games all look like great brain teasers! A triumphant debut, I’d say! Welcome to the team, Emily! And look, a cameo from Friend Of The Channel Pip!
*Best Friend of the Channel!
Yes! Welcome Emily!
I had no idea this was happening and I am pleasantly surprised.
This is on par with some of the heights of Tom's madness.
If true, badass
Exactly my reaction. Emily and Tom are going to be the perfect power couple of carefully crafted randomness and well-reasoned insanity.
Really enjoyed how quickly this moved, and the jokes throughout. It was concise and informative
This is like if bill wurtz' "history of the entire world, i guess" was a board game review and I love it
As someone who plays a LOT of solo games, Emily definitely captured the feeling when someone says "wait, there are solo board games?" and you begin to tell them about as many amazing games as you can before they run away. I feel seen. Thanks Emily.
dorfromantik is a board game now and emily is australian?? my world is shattering this is so awesome
I like how quick and snappy the review was, she has her own style and it suited reviewing several games in one go!
Emily is such a joy and a nice, refreshing personality to the channel. Can't wait to see more content with her.
I second that
Love the jokes and the content but whew, this felt like watching a video on 2x speed the whole way through! Looking forward to seeing more from Intern/full-employee/recently fired Emily though.
(And the Pip talk was a particularly excellent gag)
Haha I actually had to check my video to see if I had accidentally left on a higher speed.
Even though it feels like it is sped up it somehow also made the 16 minutes go faster as if it sped up actual time.
The pip talk cracked me up so hard! :D
I think that’s a lesson all new TH-camrs have to learn. When you watch Quinn’s old vids he was the same
I put it on 0.75 speed and everything remained normal. That’s a talent!
The creator of For Northwood made a really great solo game for regular playing cards called Loot the Loop. I fully recommend it.
"Bite it!"
"I"m not gonna bite it!"
"Coward!"
Laughed out loud
Wow, super-impressive vid. Very entertaining and brilliantly edited. Thanks!
man everytime it looks like SUSD is verging even slightly into losing it's edge they pop a wheelie, rev up a ramp, flip and fall onto their face and get up and bow and run at the ramp, this time on foot and succeeeding on foot, and leaping off the top of the ramp to freeze frame in eighties success pose.
Fantastic vide, love emily, funny, witty, both expanding and fitting with the SUSD vibe beautifully. All my congrats again gang.
I burst out laughing so many times while watching this. Such a good mix of humor and information. Well done!
How can someone come in and just kill it this easily!?! Way to go Emily!
This was hilarious! It sold me on a few games, too. I'm quite interested in Resist. Great video.
I love your sense of humor and comedic timing lol, but I honestly was really excited by the title since I've been building up my solo gaming collection lately. Mostly a lot of games that are cooperative, but have an option to be played solo, so it's nice to see games made to be played solo entirely and I really want to try Dorf and Northwood!
Also, I was right there with you on the childhood thing lol. No one wanted to play Monopoly or Risk with me so I just played multiple characters to see who would win.
Oh wow, congrats on one of the best SUSD video in a good while

This is, without a doubt, one of my favourite videos from youtube.
I almost know it by heart now and still makes me laugh.
I really love the editing.
Thank you 🥰
The "I'm so alone" "no it's a big joke there will be text" setup/payoff was absolutely top-notch video jokes. Well done!
I enjoyed your video a lot, Emily! Thanks for joining the team! Looking forward to your next one!
Not a channel regular by any means, so this is the first I've seen of Emily. But I like her, she seems like a good fit for SU&SD.

This was very entertaining :) Also big props for the editing.
Smashing video, very informative about the games, slick presentation. Great work on your first SUSD video!
Just love the different style of your videos while having the same excellent quality of all SU&SD
Emily, you absolutely CRUSHED this! I have been solo gaming for about a year or so, and totally feel the same way! Truly you killed it, what a great video and I ugly laughed many times! Thanks for great reviews and a great video :)
This new girl brings so much life and joy to the site!
This is a fun scene!

@@maximusboscusdon’t worry..I’m sure Jordan Peterson will start a board game channel for you one day soon
outstanding upgrade to the SU&SD channel
Great video, Emily, welcome to the family!❤
Yesssssss!! Sooo funny!!! And i love the For Northwood coverage!!
This video is a textbook example on how infotainment should be done. Every second was solid gold and Emily feels like a perfect addition to the team. Looking forward to all new content 🤩
I'm always worried about change, but this video rocked. Great editing, great host, might be inviting more solo games into my home. Welcome Emily!
Try not to worry about change.
It's annoying, but it all adds up and can still be very useful for paying for small items.
Great episode, excellent edition to the team. 👏🏼
Love seeing new people join SU&SD!! Welcome to the family :)))
Love the video! Been getting more into solo gaming so will try some of these out!
Emily is killing it already. This is going right up there with Tom's review of all the Railroad Ink expansions as one of my favorite SUSD videos of all time
Welcome aboard, Emily! So glad to have you with the rest of SUSD!
3:08 "Thanks, Pip" was perfect. And sad. And hungry. And perfect.
This video was excellent! Welcome Emily! I’m excited to see more reviews in the future.
This was honestly the SU&SD video that made me laugh the most. I've watched for years and laughed along, but this was hysterical from start to finish!!
Emily, welcome aboard - this was incredible, can't wait to see more!
Great video! I'm already waiting for the next one.
1:25 in and I was already loving it. Awesome debut video. Great addition to the SU&SD fam!
I love this format. I hope we get a lot more videos with Emily!

I loved your channel (the review of "Oath" especially was fenomenal). So glad to see you here!
Great comedy, pure chaotic energy, the video was really fun to watch!
I am thrilled to see more reviews by Emily.
Great video - informative and fun. Thanks!
I don't think I've ever guffawed this much at any SU&SD videos (except maybe the megagame ones but that's beside the point). Emily you are KILLING IT!
Amazing video Emily!!
Laughed too hard, too often. Fantastic stuff. "Oh now you do it" broke me.
Great stuff Emily, I really enjoyed the video, thanks!!!! 😊
Woah I've thought for ages that SUSD should hire Emily... i had no idea I could manifest stuff so easily. Emily's reviews are rad.
Where’s her other stuff?
@@jimb9967 www.youtube.com/@EmilyandThings

Fab vid - congrats on the continued (global!) growth 💕
Hey! Congrats on joining the team! Great job! Crushed it!
One of the most delightful videos I have seen in quite some time. Thank you for your service. God. So many great jokes.

Very nicely done Emily! That was really entertaining.
this video was so much fun to watch. loved the humor.
And these games look like fun as well.
Cool addition to the team! :)
This was a fantastic video. Very enjoyable the whole way through.
You're so funny and the editting is so clever and slick! So excited to have another voice in the shut up and sit down lineup!!!
Love the new addition! Good job Emily! Not only was the humor good i like the analysis. Gave me a good sense of the games!
Really liked this video. Great addition to the channel 🎉🎉
This was, by far, my favorite board game related video I’ve seen all year! So funny. So informative. So very entertaining. I can’t wait to see what’s next!
The pacing, editing, and humor of this video is incredible. I love it so much
The joke at 8:40 really cracked me up laughing. More like this, loved the video
my favorite was the callback at 15:04
Emily, welcome! This video has been super fun. I love how the jokes and skits are played on several different levels. Making the script for this must have been so hard. And I must admid I laughed so hard when you said "Do you like your money? That's a shame, cause so do we." And that is the reason you have my money.

Fantastic video - both in content and in style. Welcome aboard Emily!
Editing 👌 Pacing 👌 Vibe 👌 love Emily as a new addition!
Making reviews funny lmao. Nice vid
This was amazing. Loved it! Can't wait to see what she does next!!!
‘Despite what you might think, overthrowing a dictator is no easy task.’ Best line ever. 😂😂😂😂
Loved this video! Loved the editing and humour :)
Such great editing!
This was objectively good.
I don't think I've ever laughed out loud this much during a board game-related video.
Huge upgrade! Great debut!
most boardgame videos could have been a podcast, but you've made nice use of the video element!
Amazing video, amazing energy 😊
Fantastic review! Great job Emily!
