Celestia - Shut Up & Sit Down Review

I say would you like to be captain for a while me captain oh yes yes I'm sure you do very good at it good at it I think you'd be marvelous it's only polite to everyone should have a go with being sky captain I've never done it before sure it would be fine all right then very good you you'll be captain and I'll I'll just stand here Celestia is a small box game of pushing your luck but not just your luck everybody's luck you're in a luck nightclub and Lady Luck is DJing but it's also a bit of a mosh pit and you can get your friends kicked out of the nightclub if you feel like they're pushing you too hard you're making a sound gross you're ruining everything again stop stop gross let me do it I can't with the Celestia is one of the prettiest games we've looked at in years with these lovely pastel shades and imaginative artwork and these classic looking play horns so which one of us is right well not you but I think we can both agree that this 3d airship is completely awesome as is the fact that the propeller spins yes here's how a gain of celestial works and often how it doesn't work which is equally fun you all get plumped into a boat and the person at the back is the captain you go on a fantastic cruise up through these beautiful floating islands with the hope of reaching the City of Lights so you can buy one of those illustrious ovaries in a box anyway regardless how far you get the further the better better treasures the further you go but first of all it's the captain's job to see what's up ahead and they have to roll a couple of dice see what they're going to face on the journey and then everyone sits and gets a little bit worried you see every player has a hand of the cards and most of these cards and this deck relates to the four different things that can come up on an adventure see I rolled let's say double clouds everyone then has to decide if I'm captain if they think I'm holding two pieces of equipment that can counter clouds if they don't think I have that they quite get off the boat if they do think I have it they stay on board and then if I have the cards I must play them the boat continues the next player clockwise becomes captain and we go again everyone else decides to disembark on off if I don't have those cards it's a disaster and then you go off on another journey and everything's fine and nobody died probably the game's not entirely clear on that but then the important part is everyone draws one more card into their hand and anyone who disembarked gets one treasure from that particular location first player 250 points is the winner and probably the least dirt first of all let's talk about the game's theme what a champagne sudden success it is you're all on a boat with a captain sailing to adventure through the sky but who's the captain are you the captain all right you the captain and then disembarking there's a fun bit of imagery you get off the boat while other people go on splits up the crew into two halves who trust the captain to take them off to hot new lens and who rather just get off here and then go what they've got so far without crashing into the ground in a disaster but you discover these new islands landing on these beautiful new places is it a kind of weird theater or is it a place full of apples and frogs and each of these new weird lands has fabulous treasures fabulous what kind of treasures man well let's have a look at some of them man in their hands Scottish chicken the cat jar rocket chair a golden ticket to wonky Willy factory honky Willy's ball area where the art does fall down a bit is the characters which all look like children who've taken different drugs even the ones with beards weirdly faces are hard it's great but also in terms of appeal push your luck gain Celestia is something of a success as well you see hidden in this deck are a few zoo cards to get you past any obstacle but the captain doesn't have to play these unless they want to and similarly in some of the treasure decks you'll find magical telescopes that get you past all the dice in a particular leg of the journey now the captain's not going to want to play these for everybody which means that as people start disembarking now as more and more people think it would be crazy to stay on the ship it makes more sense to stay on the ship because the captain upholds something out their sleeves to just get you to further but at the same time you have to consider the fact that on the next leg of the journey you'll be captain and captain's can't disembark unless they're the only people on a ship when it arrives you see it's possible to spend this breezy little journey just enjoying yourself but similarly mechanically minded passengers are going to have a great time staring at this ship's engine and figuring out how it works it's all very delicate it's all right even handed a game cruising gently with a steady hand on the tiller there's theme and the theme is very nice but it's very light not too much of it but there's also a game here but not too much just a little dusting a little souffle a game floating through the air souffles don't do that if it did they'd be more popular but there's also some final stuff you add into the game just to spice a little bit a bit of take that not a lot look at this this is the games deck of cards and this is the like take that proportion certainly eight cards on a deck of however many but these cards can do some very fun things they can go I've got a jet pack which means you guys are all going to crash and burn but I'm just gonna go oh boy and land there and have a fun time you've got a kind of I actually I don't really want you on the boat so I'm just gonna just abandon you off the boat there you're not coming with us anymore and then you've got the ability to change the weather change the fate of the journey oh it's clear skies ahead is it I know anymore actually I'm deciding that weary rolling those dice to make the skies a little bit busier or oh gosh that looks heavy up ahead let's just blow away all our problems and have a safe journey onwards so that's Silesia it's lovely it's cheap it's great fun it's simple and there's not a lot to it but it's still an awful lot of fun it's great isn't it shut up and sit down absolutely recommends Celestia but you don't middle of you turn around after you've done the recommendation thing why in all our status in the roles is it yeah okay okay I'll get the book before you buy Celestia do just check that it's not actually Incan gold that you want AKA diamant which is getting a whole great new edition later in the year you see that it's just like Celestia it's a pushy like game but that actually goes up to eight players it's got half the rules it's twice as exciting it doesn't have the lovely theme of Celestia and also can't be played with - but Celestia is not very good with two players anyway so you know don't worry about yes as here though nomid review turnarounds after the recommendation or what oh you're fired if I'm sure it doesn't say that you know it says you sure this is your fire maybe it says I'm fired unless we we get extravagant and we do like a recipe to go with Celestia which is like something equally light and whimsical like a frittata loads of courgette like a light vegetable frittata get extravagant yeah no yeah let's get extravagant with a light vegetable frittata yeah good catch and you can't make a vegetable frittata without some vegetables some lovely red peppers that we're going to kind of shuffle about a bit and then chop in a nice routine fashion next up the end a couple of big courgettes and then roughly grape them oh don't think that oh I'm I'm so disappointed in you I really am next up on the list of essentials a crushed and very finely sliced clove of garlic quite bad in the bowl and now we're into the bonus round of veg I'm gonna whack in some chopped up green beans because I've got them you can pretty much put whatever you want and at this point whatever you've got just make sure you cut it up into the right size of pieces so they all cook evenly with the other stuff and like magic it's already in a pan with about two tablespoons of olive oil because you forgot to film that bit put this on a low to medium heat probably about 15-20 minutes the important thing here is you want to cook most of the liquid out of the veg especially the cause yet because they are wet wet gentlemen if it starts to fry at all or Brown that's too hot but if it's turning a bit wet and sludgy probably not hot enough that's going to take a little while to cook off so let's do something else eggs you literally can't make a frittata without destroying a few eggs I'm just drawing about six eggs I think maybe seven depends on feeling add a little salt and pepper and then whisk but hold on soldier it's time for some tricky pan business right I'm using a cast-iron skillet here the thing about them is you need to put them on a very low heat for about six seven eight minutes and then they'll be ready to use if using a cast-iron skillet then put this on the heat while you're cooking the veg you're not if you're just using a nonstick pan you don't need to do that you can just put it on the about a minute or two before you're ready to go good panic over at the point of which the mixture is starting to catch on the bottom of the pan and just get a little bit stuck it means there's not much liquid there well done you're done turn off the heat and I just before we add this in with the eggs I want to get some mint leaves and chop them up finely add them to the eggs and then add the whole mixture straight from the pan into the eggs cool tip this mixture is hot which means it will already start to warm up the eggs making them cook a little bit quicker in the pan hey presto you are a bloody magician and on the topic of magic whacking some cubes of feta cheese because all lovely lovely lovely I'll don't stir it round with your hand mat don't stir it round with your hand I'll stop it no your skillets all nice and hot you want to very carefully coat it all with oil just so it doesn't get stuck at all just a little bit oil all over it don't do what I'm doing here you'll just burn your hands with oil preferably just use a bit of kitchen paper or towel or whatever you call it in your country and finally begin the very samba slow procession towards the pan with the eggie eggie mixture and then pour in fantastic the initial heat of the pan should seal the very edges of the egg but apart from that nothing will happen you leave it on lowest heat possible and then just wander off for about 15 to 20 minutes when you come back and find that about the outer two inches of cooked pretty much but the scent is still wobbly just put it underneath the grill all Abril ER as you're in America for Euler for up for about five five minutes or so until the top is nice and browned and completely solid you don't want any wobble here and if you didn't properly cook all of the liquid out of the courgettes earlier then yes you are going to be stuck right slap-bang Center in the wobble slob zone the thing that's gross you haven't fluffed it up and you can pretty much get the omelet thing out of the pan without too much hassle look hardly any of it got stuck to the pan that's the success I'm chalking it up a win this beautifully light and whimsical frittata is best served under a bivouac of dress salad to make it that feisty I'd also recommend finely slicing a red chili and just putting some raw red chili on top and then finally potatoes potatoes fried potatoes more potatoes please more more potatoes I know you've got more there's more I know there's more potatoes thank you and that's it gosh you've made a right meal of it they have it made you could eat now you can't eat it no let's again romance just for me I love it thank you for watching thank you by
