Clef starts quick with music with Tim before going into his recent disc golf adventures. When that is all taken care of, we start another Battle of Board Games with our recent plays of Renature, Container, Churchill, Bohnanza, Forbidden Stars, and Shadow Hunters. Tim also tries to explain gatekeeping to Clef and how we can try to move past it and include everybody in this amazing hobby.
Board games start at 19:45.

On this glittering and golden episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Matt and Tom are sitting atop a dragon’s hoard of card board! Wahey! That’s what we in the business like to call “Rhyme Style”, and you can find many examples of it in the youthmusic of today :) Right atop the pile is the latest from frivolity enjoyers Weast Coast - Loners! It’s a card game that has an entire clown car of variably ripped dudes. Proceed with caution! Hachi Machi!!! We follow that up with the latest game from the Reiner Knizia Cardboard Industrial Complex: Gold Country! It’s camel speculation. You’ll see what we mean. Last but by no means least, Matt chats about some strange dream he had about a kind of figure-of-eight draconic salad spinner - completely unrelated to our discussion of 8 Dragons. Have a great week, everybody! Timestamps: 2:47 - Loners 12:57 - Gold Country 23:24 - 8 Dragons
Ambie and Crystal discuss a couple games they played recently, including The Case of the Curiously Quiet Theater, Alibi: 3 Intricate Mysteries, and Flip 7: With A Vengeance. Then we talk about the similarities and differences between deduction, social deduction, and bluffing in board games.
Acronyms and initialisms are a tricky thing. In SVWAG circles, one must be careful to use proper punctuation, lest GOA imply 2022's Game of the Year (GotY, not Gotye) Guards of Atlantis. Mark remains enraged that the SC2 acronym was robbed from Greatest of All Time (GOAT, not goat, obviously) Star Control 2 by the usurper StarCraft 2.
Shelley and I get an Essen 2025 release which is a re-themed game from 2013 to the table:
Reef Garden by Jeffrey D. Allers from dlp games
then get one of our "not played in far too long" games to the table, also originally published in 2013:
Russian Railroads by Helmut Ohley and Leonhard Orgley from Z-Man Games and Hans im Gluck. We also checked out the German Railroads and American Railroads expansions too!
