SU&SD - Shut Up & Sit Down

SU&SD, Tariffs, and Sponsored Content

Hello!

Basically every single year I’ve worked for Shut Up & Sit Down, I’ve typed out the words:

“it’s been a weird year”

…and 2025 is proving to be absolutely no exception! We’ve just put out a sponsored video onto the channel, and that feels weird. I’ve taken some time, below, to chat about why.

Shut Up & Sit Down is delighted to announce a partnership with Play to Z to hunt down the board game treasures that we think belong in every collection.

“SU&SD Presents” is a brand new line of titles that places a spotlight on some of the very best titles in modern board games. We’ve hand selected a fresh crop of exciting designs, helped to polish them to perfection, and P2Z will publish these incredible games for worldwide distribution.

It’s our goal that every game in the line could be your new favourite game.

We’ve got our first two games arriving next year, with a new title releasing annually thereafter!

Tom: Hey folks! We wanted to kick off the year with an update that goes over what Shut Up & Sit Down is going to be up to in 2024. This is the kind of thing we normally reserve for the newsletter, but we wanted this to be broadly accessible so that everyone’s in the loop!

First off, Quinns is going to share an exciting new project he’s been cooking up! Then, afterwards, I’ll take you behind the scenes on what to expect from the site going forward! It’s a long one, so let’s get into it…

Tom: October! Spooky Month! This one’s packed with TREATS! No tricks, I promise! It’s candy! Go on, bite it! BITE IT! Mmmmmmmm. Yum. Isn’t that nice? Tasty Tasty Cardboard. Videos! Let’s talk about those! We’ve got absolutely loads this month – a double bill of Emily sandwiching the second part of myself and Quinns’ Reiner … Read more

Hi folks! We wanted to put out a quick announcement that the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast is going to take a very small break, for a few weeks. A spread of bad luck with recording, a few bouts of illness, some planned holiday and a couple of imminent conventions have left us little … Read more

What have you been playing lately? Anything you’ve revisited that you haven’t played in ages?

What have you been playing lately? Anything more challenging than expected or that you liked and felt confident you wouldn’t prior to playing?

An important but hopefully understandable update: we won’t be hosting a SHUX event this year. That’s the bad news out of the way – with the GOOD news being that we’re already planning SHUX 2024 for next October, and hoping to return to the Vancouver Convention Centre.

Obviously, this is a bummer. We know how special and important this event is to a lot of people, partly because WE are those people too. It’s our highlight of the year, and as we’ve said repeatedly at the events themselves, we’re amazed and humbled at what SHUX has become – sprawling out to be something that’s bigger and cooler and kinder than any of us.

What have you been playing lately? Anything that you just didn’t love or couldn’t get into? Anything you inexplicably can’t stop playing?

Which games have you been enjoying lately?
