    I am genuinely shocked to hear that you would be recieving abusive comentary. You guys are wonderful and on many many occasions you've made me laugh until I have tears streaming down my face. I cannot imagine that any of your videos would actually upset anyone enough to then go to the lengths of actually publicly lashing out at you on your own channel - in writing. What is wrong with people? Anyway, I love you both and I wish you (and all of your beautiful pets) a fantastic festive season xx Thanks for all the hard work you do

      Haha we appreciate you! I wish I could say you’re right and people don’t get upset by our videos. But I would be lying. The internet is a tough place.

    “Dumb baby game” is my group’s “in joke” that basically means “I lost my first play and I am
    Slightly incredulous and salty about it.”

    Wonderland’s War does have some fiddly rules around madness and busting. It took us a few plays to get them down, but the flowchart covers everything nicely. As far as setup goes, it’s a game that you prep when you put it away. Tokens go in a tray, and Wonderlandians only set up when needed. Otherwise it is a lot. So it must have been their first play because it’s such a great game.

    I absolutely love GAH-it's a 10/10 game for me and easily in my top 10. But I have to agree that with 4 players, especially if you're using the original snake turn order, it can drag since a single die can lead to so many other actions. That said, I think I'll forever refer to it as a 'dumb baby game' now 😂. Great video!

    BGG reviews really hit the two extremes: People who take is seriously and so very detailed reviews, and ignorant people who just write drivel like "dumb baby game" that has no value.
    Wish BGG would move to a Steam format of thumbs up or thumbs down, and show both historical results and current results, as it helps identify review bombing or improvements in a game.

  • @rolling.reggie
    @rolling.reggie День назад +2

    - I think y’all have discovered a new series! The fans demand one of these a month. It’s just so hilarious to see how mad people get. I absolutely agree with “ I don’t understand people sometimes”
    - “dumb baby game” is straight up hilarious and should be part of our common vernacular
    - I do have to agree with the honey buzz take though. Such great production and I just can’t get behind the gameplay. It has been collecting dust since my first play and breaks my heart.
    - and that Res review was ridiculous lol but DRAFT VARIANT IS KING

    Sometimes I wonder if people even like board games with the things they say in these reviews. There are plenty of games that are not to my taste, but I can usually see good things in them and understand why they can be someone's favourite game.
    Dumb little baby game is hilarious as I often joke about games being this, when I pull out a lighter game to teach.
    This video format was very fun. And the games you picked made even better, seeing your reactions.
    As for a video about negative comments, I can't fathom why people would want to post negative comments. And I don't even know what people would say on your videos. You are always positive and just having fun with board games, what is there to say, KAY?

  • @runraggedrhino
    @runraggedrhino День назад +2

    4:52 "that person might not play many games"... Maybe, but would someone who doesn't play many games be using terms like "overproduced" and "table hog"?? Me thinks not! (but good on you as always for giving them the benefit of the doubt ✌️)

  • @landunderwave9850

    Sometimes bad reviews are the best. Like for romance novels when a reader is super offended about open-door you-know-what scenes. I had a one star review by an offended reader who didn’t like that the hero self-pleasured in a scene. Yeah, because *that’s* such a rare event!

    I have heard people say they won’t play Grand Austria Hotel with more than two because of the down time of it being a snake draft. If you are first or 4th in the draft you have 6 Draft turns in between your picks when not picking twice in a row.
    Ive never played so I can’t comment for myself.

    I used to own Grand Austria Hotel and I liked it but got tired of constantly referencing thr rulebook to figure out what the hell the various cards did and that alone pushed me to put it on the chopping block. Now do I frequently look at copies of it on BGG? Sure... perhaps I shall own again one day. Not quite the dumb baby game it was labeled as lol.

    • @RichieTrnr
      @RichieTrnr День назад +2

      That is a legit complaint. The original reference wasn't even in alphabetical order and in a weird illegible font. There are great fan made references on BGG that are essential to print if you ever pick it up again.

    1. "I had a growing fear that I was stuck in a sort of time loop of which I couldn't escape, and I would be stuck in a purgatory in which I would be forever damned to play *** ."
    2. "Boring antiquity for nolstagic gamers that miss the old days."
    3. "Misery Farm."

    I’m very surprised, and yet not, on the Distilled review as I can see where someone might derive each of those comments but I think they work together into a great gateway thematic game. The KS overproduced statement is inaccurate. The wording I would use is overinflated as the shot glasses, coasters and other drinking paraphernalia should’ve been Add-Ons since they are useless to the gameplay.
