This time, Tom looks forward to the CMON Expo, while Eric and Julie talk about their plans for PAX Unplugged. We discuss best practices for publishers when they know an expansion is coming. We share a new Tale of Boardgaming Horror, and close the show with a Spooky set of Roses, Thorns, and Hula Hoops.
Join Conor, Adrian and Dan as they recap their past week of gaming which includes cooperative deduction, burying bodies, and a touch of spellcasting. In Sizzling Games, Adrian has been fighting factions for favour, Dan has been switching sashimi for some sushi selections, and Conor heralds his hectic Halloween happenings.
They also share the community responses from last week's Question of the Pod, share their gripes with this week's question, and get fired up for the coming week!
New Question of the Pod: What game outstays its welcome at max player count, and why?

For our Sunday podcast this week we look at another new Essen 2024 release, a smaller title from earlier in 2024, and then a BIG game from a few years ago:
Asian Tigers: A Story of Prosperity by Nuno Bizarro Sentieiro and Paulo Soledade from PYTHAGORAS
Alpina by Luc Remond from Helvetiq
New Frontiers by Tom Lehmann from Rio Grande Games
On this rock-and-rolling episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt are chatting about three very different games. First up is Rock Hard 1977, a euro-ish game of being a ROCK STAR that had one of the funniest arcs of any game we’ve played this year. We also chat about Tom’s most recent BGA obsession, Newton. It’s a game of cards and efficiency! What more could you want? Finally, the gang chat about The Gang - a game that asks ‘what if poker was co-operative?’ Makes u think, don’t it.
Garrett's Games does TWO podcasts this week! With so many games to discuss, we add a Wednesday show, reviewing one great game and two that won't hit our table again:
Stephens by Rola and Costa from Pile Up Games
In The Footsteps of Marie Curie by Florian Fay from Sorry We Are French
Camargue by Timo Diegel form Abacusspiele
Remember to check out our new game reviews on our YouTube Channel here:

Today Don, Jamie, and Chris are celebrating Oktoberfest by swilling beer and listing our favorite games that released at Spiel 2024 in Essen Germany! It's a Polka-Fest here at the secret cabal and we're fired up! The only thing we're missing is a plate of bratwurst, pierogies, and sauerkraut! Kick back, pour a beer, and celebrate with the Founders. PROST!
It's time to play some actual party games as Matthew takes the gang through rounds of Just One, Insider, On a Scale of Zero to Trex and Tapple!

Have you ever wanted to listen to a "Come Dine With Me" special merged with a games day? Thought not but that is exactly what you have in the second of JP's episodes of this run. Expect nonsense, expect backstabbing comments, expect drama as we played "Come Game With Me"
FIRST PLAYER: JP OTHER PLAYERS: Becky, Rob, Tambo
In this episode you'll learn: - about JP's experience with Undaunted 2200 Calisto and also Undanted Stalingrad by Osprey Games - that Split Stone Games gets another mention with Becky's take on Mycelia - how Tambo has become a Starship Captain in his latest game by CGE - Rob has finally had a proper playthrough of Gloom of Kilforth by Hall or Nothing Games - what a mashup of "Come Dine With Me" centred around a games day sounds like

An auspicious palindrome of an episode number! Granted, in triple digits one encounters a palindrome every ten episodes or so, but I'm sure the numerologists amongst us have special enthusiasm for the mighty TRIP THREE. I mean, primes, and threes, and all that. Anyway, it'll be a minute until we reach episode TRIP FOUR, so let's savour this while we can.

Another episode… that is right. This time it is about games, the reason you come and listen. Or maybe I am wrong. Maybe you come and listen because of the lawn care tips or the surgery stories. Hey, someone we know actually listened just for the gall bladder story.
Plenty of games to get to in this episode, so enjoy and hopefully we will provide some entertainment value for you time spent listening to the podcast.
In this week’s episode, Mitch, Conor and Dana continue to reminisce about PAX, in particular the food, the games and the people they met. Conor is enamoured with his purchase and subsequent play of Dead Cells in a monster solo session. Mitch is still feeling surprisingly upbeat after his defeat at one of the hit prototype games at PAX, Tropical. Meanwhile, Dana is desperately trying to get off the island wondering what on earth, the Pope and Oysters have in common, in Landmarks
They also recap last week's Question of the Pod, all before sharing some news as to what's got them fired up - Mitch in particular!
