Top 100 - Shut Up & Sit Down

The Top 100 Board Games of All Time – Episode 7: Azul

This week we add AZUL to our DEFINITIVE list of the Top 100 Boardgames! Beautiful mosaics that are just BEGGING to be hammered

This week we have an episode of The Top 100! We loved Last Will when we reviewed it 53 years ago, but has it stood the test of time? Matt remains fond, but may not be able to compete with Brewster’s “Meh”-llions!

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!

RA RA RASPUTIN, LOVER OF THE RUSSIAN QUEEN! This week’s video hopefully won’t feature *any* witchcraft from oversized gentlemen, as we’re returning for a look at the auction classic RA. It’s the only auction game that Matt likes – but where will it land on the Top 100 board?

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!

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

It’s finally here! After an embarrassing wait, we’re embarking on a ridiculous journey to meticulously document the 100 best board games of all time! This project involved us creating an entirely new workflow, a whole studio setup, and, of course, the most glorious prop ever seen on Shut Up & Sit Down. It’s quite something.

Thank you so much for sticking around as we got this thing cooking. We’re so excited to expand the format, tweaking and changing as we go! We’re aware there’s a few technical scuffs on this one – but nothing that we can’t smooth out over a series of ever more silly episodes.

Agricola, though, what a game! And what a fantastic way to start this series. We really hope you enjoy!
