#299 and a Bit More Than That Maybe ???
Listen, usually I edit the SU&SD podcast with a spring in my step and glee in my heart. But this week, I’m textbook “Lurgied”. Merriam Webster “Grotty”. The very definition of a “Nasty Wee Man”. I’m not bothering with a proper description this week.See, this pod was not edited with a step of spring and heart of glee, no no. It was edited with ducts of snot and larynx of mucus. A head full of plague. Listen to these words and imagine my shuddering form snipping away at them; slowly saturating my ‘Logitech G840 Gaming Mouse Pad™’ with sticky-sweet mansweat. Mmm.Have a great week, everybody!Timestamps:01:20 - Kingdom Crossing15:19 - Totally Human22:46 - Emblems

#299.15 - A Sliver of Small Boxes
On this pocket-sized episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down podcast, Tom and Matt have been shrunk down to miniscule versions of themselves, and are crawling around inside the box for Hansa Teutonica. They’re having the time of their lives in there. But there’s still work to be done, and games to be reviewed! This episode tackles a clutch of tiny titles and small-scale surprises.Otter is a shedding game about piling up sea creatures on the bellies of the nation's favourite semi-weasel, and Zombie Princess is a trick-taker jam-packed with the freshly undead. There’s also time to talk Tally Up; a game that’s somewhat lovingly and somewhat scathingly referred to as ‘just gambling’. It kind of is?Have a great week, everybody!Timestamps:01:02 - Otter09:26 - Tally Up!21:02 - Zombie Princess

#299.1 - Shut Up & Sit Down Loves and Endorses Poaching
On this morally bankrupt episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down podcast, Tom and Matt are once again doing what they do best; playing at board games and going “:-)”First up is Emberheart! It’s got dragons, it’s got bidding, it’s got scales and wings and another attribute that we can’t quite recall. And it’s goooooood! Following that, our podboys sit at the cardstock conveyor belt that is Sushi Go Party: Chef’s Special! Listen as they they pluck onigiri, california rolls, and strawberry deserts directly from the waiting palm of the chef - cramming them all at once into eachothers’ mouths! Now that’s a Sushi Go Party.And finally, a spot of Eternal Sevens - a spiritual-sequel to the underground hit of 2025, Eternal Decks. It’s got Tom feeling complicated thoughts about cards, about sequels, about lightning, and about bottles....Have a great week, everybody!Timestamps:04:13 - Emberheart12:18 - Sushi Go Party: Chef’s Special21:27 - Eternal Sevens

#299 - DILEMMAS FOR DAYS
On this mildly cooked episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down podcast, Tom and Matt are fresh out the “BGD Mines”! Wiping the sweat from their collective brow, they pop a gnarly squat and spin a cardboard tale…Both have been playing a spot of The Queen’s Dilemma - the long-awaited follow-up to the King’s Dilemma that somehow contains even more dilemmas. As well as that particular hot scoop, Tom’s been playing some Railway Porters - another ‘20s themed Saashi Special where you try your utmost not to drop a suitcase on top of the waiting station master.And finally, there’s a recap of the not-previously-podded games featured in our last video review. As a little experiment, we uploaded that last video to the podcast feed. It didn’t quite sit right, so we’ve binned it off and replaced it with TRUE, NOVEL PODTHOUGHTS.Have a great week, everybody!Timestamps:7:06 - The Queen’s Dilemma24:29 - Railway Porters30:23 - Yonder, HERD, No Loose Ends

#298 - Prospective Dragons
On this glittering and golden episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Matt and Tom are sitting atop a dragon’s hoard of card board! Wahey! That’s what we in the business like to call “Rhyme Style”, and you can find many examples of it in the youthmusic of today :)Right atop the pile is the latest from frivolity enjoyers Weast Coast - Loners! It’s a card game that has an entire clown car of variably ripped dudes. Proceed with caution! Hachi Machi!!! We follow that up with the latest game from the Reiner Knizia Cardboard Industrial Complex: Gold Country! It’s camel speculation. You’ll see what we mean. Last but by no means least, Matt chats about some strange dream he had about a kind of figure-of-eight draconic salad spinner - completely unrelated to our discussion of 8 Dragons.Have a great week, everybody!Timestamps:2:47 - Loners12:57 - Gold Country23:24 - 8 Dragons

#297 - Fomorian Fishies
On this delicately preserved episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Matt and Tom are venturing through a rolling landscape of cardboard and canned fish.Moytura and Azure are the latest double-bill of mythological titles from Bitewing Games, and have gotten Tom and Matt all excited about abstraction. We follow these beasties with the briny offerings of Conservas - a solo game about making sure you’ve got juuust enough fish to turn into canned delicacies to be consumed en masse by TikTokers (we presume). And finally, Matt enters his happy place: putting numbers into boxes. Daydream is a roll-and-write with a charming presentation that, like the very best games, hides a crunchy core… Have a great week, everybody!Timestamps:02:34 - Moytura13:00 - Azure23:08 - Conservas29:57 - Daydream

#296 - Potato Profiteer
On this starchy episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt have been playing a clutch of GREAT LIL’ GAMES!First up is Yotei - a tableau builder centered around everyone’s favourite not-quite-a-vegetable: “The Potato”. We’re following that up with a double dip of Operation Barclay and Evenfall - a podcasting first! Never before have military officials and covens of witches been so closely intertwined. Finally, we’re locking, stocking, and smoking all of our various barrels in Rattlesnake - a contender for one of our very favourite card games this year.Have a great week, everybody!Timestamps:00:43 - Yotei10:17 - Operation Barclay24:02 - Evenfall36:05 - Rattlesnake
