#224 - Welcome to EARTH
Shut Up & Sit Down
06/30/23 • 56 min
Note: We misquote Will Smith's line in Independence Day a couple times in this podcast - not realising the pretty charged history of misquoting it in such a manner! Apologies for this, it was not our intention to offend!
In this loamy episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt are taking a little wander through the hills and valleys of... a rather complicated engine builder. We’re talking about recent BGG darling Earth and its soil-based engines, alongside a few brief chats about seance-based deduce-em-up Phantom Ink and mud-based clean-em-up Dirty Pig. Matt also has a few words to say about the student games we got to briefly drop in on at the recent UK Games Expo!
Have a great weekend, everybody!

#233 - The Essen Special!
Shut Up & Sit Down
10/20/23 • 58 min
On this jam-packed episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Quinns are going through all the games that Tom brought back from Essen! This doesn’t include the whole host of eurogames he played whilst there, which might even be a separate podcast all by itself! Goodness! We also have time for a very sneaky mention of Crystallo’s latest expansions, and a fair portion of semi-irrelevant chat. Just what the doctor ordered!
Thanks for bearing with us during that brief podcast pause - we’ll be back to the regular schedule from now on!
Have a great weekend, everybody!

#230 - It’s a Numbers Game
Shut Up & Sit Down
08/18/23 • 44 min
On this 3-digit episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Pip are chatting about 003 different games, and scoring NO POINTS for it! First up is the light deduction puzzler The Number, followed by a retrospective and sleepy chat about Broom Service. We tie things up by talking about the much-hyped Sea Salt & Paper, trying to get BIG BLUE POINTS in the BIG BLUE SEA.
Have a great weekend, everybody!

#236 - Brain of the Century
Shut Up & Sit Down
11/10/23 • 36 min
On this historic episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Matt and Tom are smacking chess pieces together in Match of the Century, cramming their brains with tetrominoes in Mind Space, cramming their drawers (NOT RUDE) with junk (NOT RUDE) in Junk Drawer, and stealing eachothers words in Shenanigrams! It’s a smorgasBOARD of BOARD games! See what I did there? WAHOOEY!
Have a great weekend, everybody!

#231 - Everything is an Abstract
Shut Up & Sit Down
10/20/23 • 40 min
On this greasy episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, we’re talking about a whole BINDLE of games. First up we chat about YET ANOTHER Devir small-box Eurogame (The White Castle) before then talking about Soulaween - an abstract game that’s had Quinns making sweeping, terrifying statements. Finally, some chat about a bundle of little card games sent to Tom - including recent review Five Three Five alongside Harvest and Bridge City Poker.

#226 - Earthborne Rangers & Great Machines!
Shut Up & Sit Down
07/14/23 • 47 min
On this eco-mechanical episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt chat about two very different - but very thematic - games! First up are Matt’s early impressions of Earthborne Rangers - a massive game about protecting and engaging with the environment from one of the folks who made Twilight Imperium happen. Then, our dynamic duo shift gears to talk about their time about causing and preventing riots in the one-v-all game of prediction; City of the Great Machine.
Have a great weekend, everybody!

#251 - Tom and Pip's Haunted Rat Raft
Shut Up & Sit Down
04/19/24 • 46 min
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!
