On this freshly sloganed episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Emily huddle around the boardgame campfire to tell tales about games of old. Or new. They’re all new games and I’ve wasted this pastoral image in an unfitting manner. Too late now! Nobody reads these descriptions and I’ve got stuff to do! We’ve gotta get going!
On this podcast we talk about Kinfire Chronicles: Nights Fall, Hollywood 1947, and Vampire Village - a fine crop of funky boards.
Ambie and Crystal discuss a couple games they played recently, including Floating Floors and Nimalia. Then, we are joined by our special guests - our moms - to talk about their experience playing games when they were kids, when we were kids, and now! Also, the etymology segment makes a surprise comeback as Crystal discusses the origins of the word 'mamma.'
And by guess, I of course mean predict. Okay, you all know whether we're right or not by now, but cast your imagination back to a time where we had only the nominees for the 2023 Golden Geeks, and had to use nothing but our wits to determine the winners. How naïve/prescient we were! Before we divine the future, we talk about Ironwood, Kutná Hora: The City of Silver, and Slay the Spire: The Board Game.

It is striking that no one submitted a question regarding the hues of our auras, so allow us to address the issue here and declare that amber is the colour of our energy.
I regret nothing.
