#255 - Dragons & Demolitions
On this rambling, tangient-rich episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Pip chat Wings and Wyrms in a creature feature on Wyrmspan! Then, we take a break from the hotness to discuss an old classic that Tom was bored to tears by; Roborally.
Have a great weekend!

#254 - Dungeons & Directors
On this freshly sloganed episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Emily huddle around the boardgame campfire to tell tales about games of old. Or new. They’re all new games and I’ve wasted this pastoral image in an unfitting manner. Too late now! Nobody reads these descriptions and I’ve got stuff to do! We’ve gotta get going!
On this podcast we talk about Kinfire Chronicles: Nights Fall, Hollywood 1947, and Vampire Village - a fine crop of funky boards.
Have a great weekend!

#253 - batteries.
On this battered episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt are making batteries in Salton Sea, eating batteries in After Us, and getting battered in Dobro! It’s the battery special, officially sponsored by Duracell and the horrible bunny that we all hate.
Have a great weekend, everybody!

#252 - Just Two Players, Looking For A Third
On this mildly unhinged episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Emily are taking on a double-bill of two player games followed by a BIG CHUNKY BOX. First up is Quacks of Quedlinburg: The Duel - a two-player only version of the bag-busting (sorry) classic! We then chat about the ying to Quacks’ yang in the highly-tactical time-bending fish-em-up Fisheries of Gloucester! Finally, we chat about Bloodstones - a divisive strategy game that Tom bravely defends and recklessly batters.
It’s a good pod! We had a lot of fun! I hope you can tell!
Have a great weekend, everybody!

#251 - Tom and Pip's Haunted Rat Raft
On this almost chiaroscuro episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Pip are chatting about games that could not be more different. First up, Rats of Wistar - a crunchy engine-building game with rats and cards and being as efficient as possible within a strict turn limit. That’s followed up with Dro Polter and Rafter Five - two Oink games that are some of their silliest yet.
Have a great weekend, everybody!

#250 - A Straightforward Podcast
On this chronologically consistent episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down podcast, Tom and Emily are rambling their way through three whole games! 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.
Have a great weekend, everybody!

Klantrecensies
One of the podcasts I eagerly await every week
I’ve been following SUSD since the days they posted their vids on vimeo and I have to say that it’s awesome to see how much they’ve grown. Their format of reviewing games makes it so much more fun and engaging, in which they try to actually explain how it feels to play the game and often go against the consensus. Together with board game barrage and NPI, SUSD are the best reviewers out there and one of the few sites I constantly hit ‘refresh’ on Monday/Wednesday/Friday.
Best board game podcast out there
Because of SUSD I discovered board games. I share the videos on YouTube with my family and it’s thoroughly enriched my life. This podcast is for those who want to get a bit deeper into the discussions around the board games, particularly what makes them great and what flaws they have. The new format of short form, more focused weekly content is really lovely. Instead of talking about lots of different games like a news section they talk about a specific game or specific designers. This is the one board game podcast to listen to!
Excellent, entertaining, electrifying
A capable cast of charming, comic characters, pontificating profusely about all things beautifully boardgame-related. But seriously, it’s fantastic fun.
