In this deeply sponsored episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt are talking about two ferociously dry games. First up is the pastoral human-collector Villagers, and second up is the vertical build-em-up Akropolis. We also take some time to defibrillate the podcast back to life by talking a little bit about Rush Out, our favourite Shut Up & Sit Down video review that came out this week. Enjoy!

Podcast #186 – Kidney Handling Simulator 2022
In this medical episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Quinns are donning their scrubs for a lengthy chat about Rush M.D, punting down the Nile in Sobek: 2 Players, and slipping through space in Wormholes!
Apologies for all the drilling noises in this episode – we couldn’t scrub them from the recording without Quinns sounding like a strange squeaky robot!
Have a great weekend, everybody!

In this agnostic episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, our three intrepid explorers at the UKGE blast through multiple odd games in a chaotic pod-special! We Rob Art in Art Robbery, Get On Board in Get On Board and Island Small…ly… in Small Islands, before dreaming of factories in Nicodemus.

Podcast #184 – A Wibbly Wobbly Egg (Live!)
Tom: Live and happening, it’s a podcast! When I edit podcasts, I usually slice out the bits where I sound silly, or ask if it’s ‘time to talk about Rats’ too many times; but in the live format, they have to stay. On this very special episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Matt and his two adult children are talking about a bunch of games! We’ve got the absolute excess of Wonderlands War, the snakes-and-ladders-worker-placement of First Rat and the secret sneaky bidding of Dreadful Circus alongside plenty of healthy chat about a Wibbly Wobbly Egg from Dodo. Enjoy!

Podcast #183 – Sniper Station Phoenix
In this X-Ray-Slow-Motion episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt are talking about two games that couldn’t be more different. First up, we’ve got the alien hospitality of Space Station Phoenix – a eurogame where you destroy your own worker placement spaces! And secondly, we’re talking Sniper Elite: The Board Game – a thematic hidden movement game where you destroy a submarine and also maybe some Nazis.

Read MorePodcast #182 – The Numbers Go Up Special
In this apparently aquatic episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom, Ava, and Matt are talking about some suspiciously dry games! And spinners. And Twister.
First up is Khora: Rise of an Empire – the ultimate spreadsheet experience! Tom then rambles about Boonlake for a moment, before Ava takes us home with Founders of Teotihuacan; the game which we essentially forgot to have a discussion about.
Have a great weekend, everybody!

Podcast #179 – Small Game City
In this meagre episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down podcast, Tom and Matt are talking about three whole boxes with games inside of them!!
