    #282 - Two Player Town (Population Two)

    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! Timestamps:  02:44 - Tag Team 15:09 - Suna Valo 23:54 - General Orders: Sengoku Jidai

    #281 - Tom’s Game Gauntlet II: The Return of ‘Game Gauntlet’

    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. They wouldn’t fit through the real floorboards. That’d be silly. And we don’t do silly, here. Let us know what you think of these episodes! They’re a little unusual, but quite fun to make in a pinch!

    #280 - The Firefighters of the Rainforest

    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. Get out of my restaurant. Timestamps: 01:52 - Hutan: Life in the Rainforest12:50 - Flash Point: Legacy of Flame32:27 - Timber Town

    #279 - The Very Timely PAX East Episode

    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! Timestamps:  03:18 - Galileo Galilei 18:16 - Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship 31:18 - Moon Colony Bloodbath

    #277 - The Rules Ramble

    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. Timestamps:  None, it’s just RULES!

    #276 - It Means ‘New Ears’, Officer

    On this advanced episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt are once again settling into the pod-thrones to yap about “some games wot they have played”. Nova Era challenges players to develop a healthy civilisation, 3 Chapters is a set collection AND trick taking AND drafting game all squished into one box, and Creature Caravan is a gentle ride through a terrifyingly large deck of cards. There’s lots to like! Three whole games to like, in fact. Board games! Who knew?! Thanks for listening, everyone! Timestamps:  01:38 - Nova Era 15:39 - 3 Chapters 26:52 - Creature Caravan

    #275 - Find Yourself A City To Live In

    On this floriferous episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt are yappin’ about Barcelona, Bluebells, and Board Games! Cities is first up on the docket - a city-building game that’s real dinky and designed by two of our favourite small-and-simple designers. Following that, Matt continues his recommendation of Floristry from our video review into the podcast world, and Tom talks about his mixed feelings towards ‘The Morrison Game Factory’... Thanks for listening, everyone! Timestamps:  02:32 - Cities 13:12 - Floristry 24:43 - The Morrison Game Factory
