On this mildly unhinged episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Emily are taking on a double-bill of two player games followed by a BIG CHUNKY BOX. First up is Quacks of Quedlinburg: The Duel - a two-player only version of the bag-busting (sorry) classic! We then chat about the ying to Quacks’ yang in the highly-tactical time-bending fish-em-up Fisheries of Gloucester! Finally, we chat about Bloodstones - a divisive strategy game that Tom bravely defends and recklessly batters.
It’s a good pod! We had a lot of fun! I hope you can tell!
Have a great weekend, everybody!

Adrian, Dan, and Mitch masterfully meander through an awesome array of amazing adventures. They delightfully discourse on the daring dragon domain of Wyrmspan, boldly brave the bewildering battlements of 7th Citadel, and skillfully scrutinize the salty shores of Salton Sea. But that's not all - these bodacious board game bros courageously confront the cruel crucible of Cruel Necessity and dramatically deliberate the matchless majesty of Match of the Century. It's a pun-packed, paradoxically playful podcast packed with passionate perspectives on these preeminent play pursuits. Prepare to be promptly and powerfully propelled into pure paroxysms of tabletop euphoria!

On this almost chiaroscuro episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Pip are chatting about games that could not be more different. First up, Rats of Wistar - a crunchy engine-building game with rats and cards and being as efficient as possible within a strict turn limit. That’s followed up with Dro Polter and Rafter Five - two Oink games that are some of their silliest yet.
Have a great weekend, everybody!

Sometimes a game has a conceit so good, that it's the only description you need to sell someone on it. Let's call it the hook. Do all games have them, or is it something that only a certain subcategory of game can get away with - and why don't they all just print that on the box cover? Before we get the hook, we talk about Havalandi, Courtisans, 12 Chip Trick, and Dune Imperium: Uprising.
