The Top 100 Board Games of All Time – Episode 5: Race/Roll for the Galaxy
We’re joined once again by the inimitable Philippa Warr for an extra large edition of The Top 100, and this time we’ve got two different board games being potentially added onto the list: Race for the Galaxy AND Roll for the Galaxy. Cups VS Cards? It’s a tale as old as time!
Read MoreWilmot’s Warehouse
SURPRISE! We helped make a board game! Wilmot’s Warehouse is a fabulous co-operative memory game from CMYK (Monikers, Wavelength, Daybreak), David King, and Hollow Ponds (Wilmot’s Warehouse, I Am Dead, Flock) with a whole bunch of additional flavour and love by us!
Read MoreA HOT SUMMER UPDATE FROM SU&SD
We’ve been really really busy over these last few months – in some cases you’ll be able to see why (ARCSSSSSS) – and in some cases you’ll see why in The Near Future!
Loads of exciting stuff we’ve been working on is planned for the coming months, but in the meantime we’ve allowed Tom to run off into the wilds for a little rest. To everyone who supports all that we do: THANK YOU. Even though obviously nobody should be supporting that painting.

The Top 100 Board Games of All Time – Episode 3: Galaxy Trucker
We’re back with yet another episode of Shut Up & Sit Down’s very own self-imposed sisyphean task: The Top 100!
This time, Tom and Matt are chatting about Galaxy Trucker, gimmick games, and ‘having a bad time in space’. It’s been too long since we’ve sat down to this game, and we had a great time – so great, in fact, that we’ll likely make our very daft playthrough available to donors in the near future.
Thanks for watching everyone! We’ll have some more three-person episodes very soon!
Read MoreThe Top 100 Board Games of All Time – Episode 2: The Quest for El Dorado
Matt: Our adventure through the Top 100 Board Games of All Time continues, with The Quest for El Dorado! And unfortunately, these boys have been CURSED. Due to technical errors part of this video had to be re-recorded (technically, we didn’t record it). Also, the audio in certain sections is a little bit rough and weird – we did our best to recover what we could, and in the future we won’t get cursed by a board game. THANKS
