Podcast #260 – Aesthetic Arguing

help, Tom is Rapidly Approaching Middle Age

On this… seedy… episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Emily are talking about two bucolic farm-em-ups in Windmill Valley and Harvest, as well as the utterly innocent Courtisans. Emily decided the theme on this one after the fact and I’m still reeling. Seedy? It’s a family show, come on now We also end up spending a weird amount of time getting into the particulars of how the two very pleasant and agricultural games listed are not entirely to each other’s aesthetic tastes. Strange!

Have a great weekend, everybody!

Podcast #259 – The Sandy Special

On this gritty episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Emily are chatting about a whole dune’s worth of sandy, sandy games! Well, two of them are sandy. The other two are just games. In fact one of the two sandy games is mostly water. Listen, it’s Friday afternoon and I’m ready to stop working and start playing Deadlock, which I am hopelessly addicted to. Truth be told, the new fortnightly podcast schedule only exists to fuel my addiction to losing roughly four games in a row every evening until the end of time. I will die ignorant, and I will die angry. You can’t stop me! YOU CAN’T STOP ME! This episode, we’re talking about Sand, Surf’s Up, Sumo, and Tokkuri Taking! Enjoy!

Have a great weekend, everybody!

Podcast #254 – Dungeons & Directors

i thought about doing a cipher but i needed to eat some lunch, sorry

On this freshly sloganed episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Emily huddle around the boardgame campfire to tell tales about games of old. Or new. They’re all new games and I’ve wasted this pastoral image in an unfitting manner. Too late now! Nobody reads these descriptions and I’ve got stuff to do! We’ve gotta get going! On this podcast we talk about Kinfire Chronicles: Nights Fall, Hollywood 1947, and Vampire Village – a fine crop of funky boards.

Have a great weekend!

Podcast# 252 – Just Two Players, Looking for a Third

The Steamiest Episode of the Podcast Yet

On this mildly unhinged episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Emily are taking on a double-bill of two player games followed by a BIG CHUNKY BOX. First up is Quacks of Quedlinburg: The Duel – a two-player only version of the bag-busting (sorry) classic! We then chat about the ying to Quacks’ yang in the highly-tactical time-bending fish-em-up Fisheries of Gloucester! Finally, we chat about Bloodstones – a divisive strategy game that Tom bravely defends and recklessly batters.

It’s a good pod! We had a lot of fun! I hope you can tell!

Have a great weekend, everybody!

Podcast #251 – Tom and Pip’s Haunted Rat Raft

Hopped Up on Gorgonzola, The Squashed Rat Special

On this almost chiaroscuro episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Pip are chatting about games that could not be more different. First up, Rats of Wistar – a crunchy engine-building game with rats and cards and being as efficient as possible within a strict turn limit. That’s followed up with Dro Polter and Rafter Five – two Oink games that are some of their silliest yet.

Have a great weekend, everybody!
