It's the triumphant return of the terrific trio - you know exactly who we mean - to talk about games where one of us would have to be left out. That's right, it's two players only at this table, and we're talking about our favourite games that fit the bill, and why we love them. Before we one-three-nine-take-two, we talk about Undaunted: Normandy, Fields of Arle, and That Time You Killed Me.

It's the Melbourne Crew on deck tonight as Mike, Conor, Jules and Dan stand around the BBQ and chat about painting minis, the latest KickStarter arrival of Nemesis: Lockdown, as well as Crossing, Cash 'n' Guns, and Root. Sizzling games this week are Bristol 1350, Final Girl, Warp's Edge, and Mystic Vale.
In the Board Game Bracket we settle the last match-up, Great Western Trail vs Architects of the West Kingdom, before we setup our next battle: Clank! vs Anachrony. To make sure your favourite goes through to the next round make sure you vote on our socials.
Finally, in Swear An Oath Conor finally donned his green tights and played The Adventures of Robin Hood, however Adrian is stubbornly preventing him from completing his second oath of Imperial Settlers. Dan is gearing up to play Radlands with Jules later in the week after delaying their playthrough last week. Jules completed painting his Unsettled minis and also played Heroes of Land, Air & Sea with Mike, and Mike played The Prodigals Club at his last game night. New oaths include the Under Falling Skies Campaign (Dan), the Oath Campaign (Conor), painting all of his Nemesis: Lockdown figures (Jules), and Clank! In Space (Mike).

In this picturesque episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast Matt, Ava, and Tom are absolutely chomping at the bit to tell you all about three games that are all PRETTY GOOD!
We've got the scintillating urban planning of Townbuilder: Coevorden - the scintillatingy-er LUNAR planning of Welcome To The Moon and... what was the last game? I don't know if I can quite... remember...
New year, new games, and we're really in it now. We look ahead to the year ahead, and all the games that we're most excited to get our hands on ... but we couldn't do it without just a little bit of help from our friends. Before we consult our many crystal balls, we talk about American Bookshop, War of the Ring: Second Edition, and Coffee Traders.

Tyler Langtimm, designer of Moxie: A Journey of Monsters, discusses how to design a game about monster taming (think Pokemon). Tyler has been working on a monster hunting/taming game for a while (and so have I), so we have quite a lot to talk about. We get into exploration, combat, puzzles, progression, and more.
Thomas Covert, founder of the Board Game Revolution Facebook group, dives into how to promote your game in Facebook groups without seeming like a slimy used car salesman.
We talk about asking for feedback, how to create engaging posts (and when to post them), paid promotion, and more.
