Save the Meeples by Florian Sirieix from Blue Cocker Games
Picture it now; you’re sitting in a lovely english garden in the midst of summertime. You’ve got a delicious cup of iced Bovril in your hand, and the sun is warming the grass under your feet. Life is bliss. Suddenly, a tall sweaty man and a short sweaty boy leap the fence - cracking open warm cans in mid-air - fistfuls of board game bits clutched in their four greasy hands. It’s time to podcast, baby.
In this undeniably very 115th episode of the Shut Up and Sit Down podcast, Tom and Quinns resume the age-old tradition of shirtless podcasting - kicking off with a chat about The Deadlies, before pinging over to Super Skill Pinball: 4Cade. Then, Quinns gets wistful about his foray into Fields of Arle, and we end on a highly controversial chat about Undaunted: North Africa. Strap in.
Have a great weekend, everybody!
Things got a bit heavy last week, so let's take things down a notch by exploring the other end of the scale. Light games are just as important for a board game collection, after all. We discuss what light games offer that heavier games don't, and mention some of our recent favourites. Before we lighten the mood, we talk about Reef, Clans of Caledonia, and Tutankhamun.

It's an Arkham Horror love-fest when Conor and Adrian join the show! The team hits the ground running with some important breaking news before launching into their Sizzling Games for the week. Conor and his partner have been working through Machi Koro Legacy, Adrian explores the card drafting mage-maker that it Res Arcana, and Steve falls in love all over again with Terraforming Mars.
Many of our listeners in Australia and overseas are still in isolation so the team discusses the pros and cons of playing boardgames online - specifically TableTop Simulator. How does it compare to Tabletop Arena, Tabletopia, or even dedicated gaming apps? With more virtual gaming conventions on the horizon, and even our regular online gaming on the BoardGame BBQ Discord, we discuss the easiest ways to overcome the entry barriers and get amongst the online gaming action.
The Board Game Bracket is going off! We resolve the match-up of Sheriff of Nottingham vs Great Western Trail, before Conor and Adrian go toe-to-toe in two separate battles: Spyfall vs It's A Wonderful World, and Arkham Horror (3rd Edition) vs Mysterium. And finally Adrian and Conor get to join forces to pump up Arkham Horror: The LCG, while poor Inis goes unsupported. Or does it?
In our Kickstarter segment Conor has backed Dead Reckoning and is eyeing off The Shivers and Perseverance. Meanhile, Adrian has backed the dice-drafting game Daimyo: Rebirth of the Empire.
We never thought it would happen, but Steve finally has a clean slate by fulfilling his oaths on Ecos: First Continent and Forgotten Waters. In fact, it's clean slates all 'round because Adrian brought Deep Madness back to the table (but found that his gaming tastes have changed since buying it), and Conor fulfilled his oath by playing SteamRollers (even if it was a few hours before he started recording). The team then swear fresh oaths by committing to Chronicles of Crime (Adrian), Euphoria: Build A Better Dystopia (Conor), and in a dramatic podcast-definig twist - Arkham Horror: LCG (Steve).

Jules steps into the hosting role and after a minute we are already asking "Steve who?" He is joined by Sarah and Mike for another cracking episode in the world of boardgaming. In the Sizzling Games segment Mike fell in love with the amazing artwork and clever gameplay of Everdell, Sarah and her crew played the trick-taking co-op The Crew, and Jules became a ruthless troll In The Hall Of The Mountain King.
What is it about space that captures the imagination? The team discusses their favourite space-themed games this week and why the theme works so well in boardgaming. It seems that there are so many game styles, mechanics and even different franchises that can work in space. And of course, when evil-Jules beats you, no one can hear you scream...
We reveal the winner of the Aeon's End Legacy vs Azul, before Jules and Mike face off in the latest Board Game Bracket: Cosmic Encounter vs Gizmos. Cosmic Encounter might be incredibly clever, but apparently Gizmos has balls. Make sure you visit our social pages and vote for your favourite game to make sure it comes out on top!
In the Kickstarter segment Sarah is looking forward to receiving Rome & Roll next month. Perseverance has caught Jules' eye, but his heart is set on Windward which is expected to arrive next month as well. And Mike received his first-ever Kickstarter game; the wacky cure-all card game Trust Me I'm A Doctor.
Finally, in Swear An Oath Sarah fulfilled her oath by bringing Obscurio off the shelf, but found it really needed a traitor to make it more fun. Mike couldn't manage to get King Of Tokyo to the table due to the COVID lockdown so he played it online instead and came out victorious! And Jules just can't get enough of the Quacks of Quedlinburg successor: The Taverns of Tiefenthal. The gang then all swear new oaths: Race For The Galaxy: Alien Artifacts (Sarah), Tiny Epic Galaxies (Mike), and Lords of Scotland (Jules)
