Usually the moniker of ‘Cosy Game’ is a snug portent of mild-mannered fun – a thoroughly whelming box that’s pleasant enough, but doesn’t tickle us for more than a couple plays. But this week on the podcast? Matt and Tom are chatting about a whole bunch of cosy games that surprised them, with a bit more pep than might have been expected…

This week on the Shut Up & Sit Down podcast, we’re talking two players! Tag Team is a head-to-head brawler, and Suna Valo is exactly the same, but for farms! Finally, Matt waxes lyrical about General Orders’ Samurai Sequel: ‘Sengoku Jidai’ – and, within it, has perhaps found a game that’s too small for even our perma-shrunk noggins.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

It’s just little old Tom this week on the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, and he’s taking you through a bunch of odds and ends that might otherwise slip through the metaphorical cracks of the metaphorical floorboards.

Three kinds of wood, all alike in dignity. Except one of them is on fire, and one of them has a lot of toothy rodents in it. I’m really straining to find some way of making a kind of beaver ratatouille joke, but it’s not coming naturally. ‘Beavertouille, he only does Dams this time?’. I don’t know.

PAX East! Truly the highlight of everyone’s July!
For whatever reason, it’s taken us absolutely ages to get round to covering the board games that we played at PAX East – but better late than never! This is especially true in this pod right here, where we’ve got three hot servings of board game to ladle directly into the laps of our ravenous listenership. We’ve got a starter and dessert made of space – with Galileo Galilei and Moon Colony Bloodbath protecting a gooey fantasy center all made of Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship!
Have a great weekend, everybody!

On this scenic detour, Tom and Matt are chatting about RULES! What are they? Who made them?! And what do they want with my PIN number?!?
This is a companion podcast to the most recent video on the YouTube channel – ‘The Board Game With No Rules’ – and is a more loose and daft excursion into the wild world of rulesless games.
