In this deeply sponsored episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt are talking about two ferociously dry games. First up is the pastoral human-collector Villagers, and second up is the vertical build-em-up Akropolis. We also take some time to defibrillate the podcast back to life by talking a little bit about Rush Out, our favourite Shut Up & Sit Down video review that came out this week. Enjoy!
It's that time again, we think? Who knows but we want to win a golden geek award pretty badly so this bonus episode is full of Golden Geek trivia!

FIRST PLAYER: Adrian OTHER PLAYERS: Becky & Kerley
OVERVIEW In this episode "First Player" Adrian is joined by players Becky & Kerley, to talk all things "Boardjazzle" or boardgame bling. We discuss how we've chosen to improve our games, making them more appealing to the eye, improving gameplay, and storage solutions. Whether you like cutting foam core, designing 3D files or buying upgrades we've got it covered. In this episode you'll learn:
- JP has gate-crashed the episode for a few minutes to chat about his experiences in playing Septima from Mindclash Games. A game on Kickstarter right now!!! -That Adrian returned to Game of Thrones and a discussion on how games can create a negative play experience. - The differences in aesthetic, functional and storage upgrades with great discussions from the group about all three areas. - Answers to our latest listener question, about recommending 2-4 player games for new gamers. - That Becky is excited about her girly holiday and to try out some party games with non-gamers
Mark had to reign himself in considerably this week, what with the song temptations of the Talking Heads followed by his favourite torch song teased by Welcome to the Moon. He also tried to workshop a Gourds of Atlantis joke, but responses were--to put it mildly--not encouraging. It wasn't a total loss, as he managed to sneak in some Norse mythology in Telestrations. So that's... something.
