We’re talking about Ito – a relaxed party game about untangling your pals’ opinions! We’re talking about CATAN: Starfarers Duel – a two-player-only version of Catan: Starfarers that’s weird and wonky! AND we’re talking about Faraway – a game about doing everything in reverse.

On this addictive episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down podcast, Tom and Pip are talking about a board game and… a VIDEO GAME?

Sometimes, we get things wrong. Well, Tom does.
