On this constantly revolving episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt are perusing a gargantuan grocery store of games. This one stocks four whole games! Can you believe it?
First up is Market Fresh - a Kramer and Kiesling reimplementation that Matt’s played, and Tom is chomping to. We follow that with a quick spritz of Echoes of Emperors - a game that crunches the computer strategy genre into cardboard form, and close out the podcast with a double bill of flippers; Fliptoons and Flip Pick Towers.
Have a great week, everybody!

On this adjective-riddled* episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt are sorting through approximately one standard carry-on worth of cardboard luggage!

Matt brings The Great Sea to the table - the latest Garphill excursion into ancient history. What’s in this bit of history? Mostly water, it seems. With boats on it! They’re like houses that float? You’ll get the hang of it.

Dark Pact is our second game, and feels like a deckbuilder broke free of containment, and has been growing all manner of new limbs whilst we’re not looking. Essentially a race to break the game as fast as humanly possible, it’s gotten Tom rather perplexed.

And finally - Typeset - a game designed by the monstrously talented folks at DVC Games. Just when you think you’ve seen everything in a word game, one comes along and gets you spelling ‘TOGWOF’.

Have a great week, everybody!

On this VIOLENT episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Matt and Tom engage in gladiatorial combat to finally decide who is the ULTIMATE BOARD-BOY!

We begin our gauntlet with a bout of ‘Neko Syndicate’ - a BLOODY game of cats making sushi deliveries in a sort of tableau-building pyramid! It’s nasty stuff.

Round 2 threatens an EXPLOSIVE END in ‘Bombusters’ - a co-operative family game where various anthropomorphised rabbits deal with increasingly complicated explosives. Red wire? Yellow wire? Either way? Prepare for an absolutely brutal listening experience.

Then, the knockout punch! ‘Off With Their Heads!’ is our grand finale, and has you rolling* (punches), writing (wills)... and playing (cards)? Sounds peaceful, yeah? Well it’s only got a flippin’ GUILLOTINE in the title!! It’s going to be an utter casserole.

Have a great week, everybody!
