Sorry! Tom forgot to upload this episode of the podcast because he was on a plane. A plane! In the sky! How do you expect us to podcast under these conditions?!
On this dromedary episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt natter about a collection of – YOU GUESSED IT – boardgames. Resafa! It’s a game about camels and irrigation and cards and POINTS! PlayProp! It’s a game of trying to get corks into a cup and screaming! Elfenroads! It’s a game about gently meandering down winding fantasy paths until an errant ‘cart orc’ ruins your day, or week, or possibly year. Finally, the dynamic duo chat about another characterful couplet; Dracula vs Van Helsing – a two-player duelling game we’ll review in a few DAYS time!
Thanks for listening everyone! Have a great week!
