Our 2023 Board Game Predictions!

Too Much Marvel, Why Would We Show Ourselves To Be Such Fools, Dominos

In this new paradigm in Shut Up & Sit Down Podcasting history, Tom and Quinns are chatting about what they think the board game industry holds for us all… in 2023! Expect a series of 5 completely uninformed opinions laced with ‘reckons’ and ‘guesses’ – all with a competitive twist. We’re hoping to circle back on this episode in 2024 and be overjoyed by quite how wrong we are.

Have a great weekend, everybody!

Undaunted: Stalingrad and HEAT: Pedal to the Metal are Just Great Games

Quinns is a Creep Teacher, Tom is Just Having A Good Time, [REDACTED] was so very [REDACTED]

On this surprisingly colonic episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Quinns tackle two fantastic games… that one of us wishes were just a smidge better. That’s right, it’s the Undaunted: Stalingrad Spoilercast, and the HEAT: Pedal to the Metal… praisecast? These are two games we’ve reviewed recently and both think are just peachy. Enjoy!

Have a great weekend, everybody!

Podcast #199 – LIVE from SHUX 2022! (Again!)

Big Fat Bullet, GARFUNKEL, Sweaty DogFans, Secret Unlockable Sickly Lees, How Cow Wow Now

In this jam-packed episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, we’ve got a SMORGASBORD of hosts who are ready to tell you all about the games they played at SHUX. Ava! Tom! Pip! Quinns! ‘Sick Matt’! They’re all here!

Not satisfied with just having ‘a whole bunch of hosts’, we’re also talking about a ‘whole bunch of games’ – notably the boxes we enjoyed whilst at SHUX in sunny Vancouver. Not all of these are out yet, and some of them aren’t really real, but we figured that you would enjoy the chat nonetheless.

Have a great weekend, everybody!
