Podcast #271 – Elfenroads, Take Me Home

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!

Big Bikes are the Best, Slipstream all the Time

On this uphill episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom is rambling to Matt about a couple bits and bobs he’s played recently!

Find out here! That’s then followed by a little recommendation for a recent Oink title – Moving Wild – before capping the podcast off with a bit of retrospective chat regarding SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence after our recent(ish) middling review… Thanks for listening everyone!

It’s Just Candy Officer I Swear

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.
