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!

#250 - A Straightforward Podcast

On this chronologically consistent episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down podcast, Tom and Emily are rambling their way through three whole games! We’re talking about Ito - a relaxed party game about untangling your pals’ opinions! We’re talking about CATAN: Starfarers Duel - a two-player-only version of Catan: Starfarers that’s weird and wonky! AND we’re talking about Faraway - a game about doing everything in reverse.

Have a great weekend, everybody!

#252 - Just Two Players, Looking For A Third

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!
