#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!

#249 - The Ancient Art of Putting It All On Red
On this addictive episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down podcast, Tom and Pip are talking about a board game and… a VIDEO GAME? First up, a sensible and grounded conversation about the slightly perplexing world of Ancient Knowledge - a tableau builder set on top of an ancient conveyor belt. This is then followed by a ramble about Balatro - a poker-themed deck builder that’s quite clearly NOT A BOARD GAME. It’s made of ones and zeroes! It’s on a screen! The horror, the horror, the horror.
Have a great weekend, everybody!

#248 - Silver & Space
On this extra-terrestrial episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down podcast, Tom and Emily are venturing into SPACE in MLEM: Space Agency, and digging deep down into the mines in Kutna Hora: The City of Silver. Two very different games, on this one, but both absolutely worth checking out.
Have a great weekend, everybody!

On this adventurous episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt wander into great beyond to ramble about their favourite things in Earthborne Rangers! There’s some very light spoilers in this one - with emphasis on the very - but it’s mostly just a podcast where we wax lyrical about one of our favourite games in recent memory.
Have a great weekend, everybody! -
#246 - Daybreak is Optimistic and Intriguing
On this climate-friendly episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt take half an hour to amble through their first play of Daybreak - the latest co-op save-the-world-like from Pandemic designer Matt Leacock, new designer Matteo Menapace, and publisher CMYK games of Monikers, Wavelength, and Lacuna fame. A stacked lineup, for sure; but what do we think of the game? Find out more by having a little listen...
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.
