Closing out the pod; Feed the Kraken - a be-dumbification of hidden role games featuring a large watery friend. Have a great weekend, everybody!

First up is a lengthy chat about Golem - the crunchy, Italian-designed eurogame based on the folkloric Jewish automata (it’s quite good!). Then, a couple of very speedy chats about Resist!

Look, I’m really sorry that I sat on the podcast intro music but what am I supposed to do, check every seat for audio files before I sit down? I know it’s a bit crushed and quiet, but if we give it enough love and care then it’ll spring back soon enough, I’m sure - and I can always do my own version of the music for the time being… Oh the podcast is meant to be out… today? I’ll see what I can do… This podcast may contain traces of trains - perhaps more than a trace, even, as Matt and Quinns discuss both Russian Railroads and 1889: History of Shikoku Railways in the space of just one hour. I know, it’s all getting a bit exciting. Squashed between those discussions like a fun filling in a games sandwich, Tom yammers on about Calico, Pax Pamir 2e and Watergate; games that somehow all contain the same levels of tension and despair in spite of their wildly differing themes. Have a great weekend, everybody! Thanks to our amazing community, podcast transcripts are available here, and are usually completed within a week of the podcast's release.  1960: The Making of the President, Watergate, 1889: History of Shikoku Railways, Pax Pamir Second Edition, Calico, Root, Azul, Russian Railroads

Podcast #131 - A Petulant Pharaoh

Now Quinns is back from the UK Games Expo, we slid a microphone under the door of the con-tamination chamber to record a new podcast! Paul's got questions about the sublime Welcome to the Dungeon, the prototype of Vlaada's Codenames and Quinns' performance at the UK Netrunner Nationals. But that's not all! Quinns is starved for company and wants to know about the games Paul's been playing: For the Crown and 7 Ronin, which both sound great. There's also some discussion of Knightmare Chess, mostly along the lines of "Why haven't we reviewed it yet?" For curious international listeners, here's a clip of the UK's Knightmare game show. Enjoy that one. Now if you'll excuse us, we're off to burn the mic.  Welcome to the Dungeon, Codenames, Android: Netrunner, For the Crown, 7 Ronin, Knightmare Chess

Podcast #29: Nightmares at the Hilton

It's been a while since the last podcast, but we've not been idle! Like a board game version of Nintendo's Kirby, over the last month the team has been sucking in experiences and now we're going to expel them at you in a 90 minute special episode. Boomf! In order of appearance, Matt, Quinns and Paul discuss The Mind, Cardline: Animals, Bye-Bye Black Sheep, Kemet: Set (which is so new it doesn't even have a Board Game Geek page!), Treasure Island, Fireball Island (which has just 8 days left on that Kickstarter) and Bunny Kingdom. That might be more games than we've ever had on a podcast before, and you know what else? They're ALL GOOD. Finally, we soothe our aching jaws with a gentle chat about what makes kingmaking (one player causing another player to win) enjoyable in a game, and what makes it frustrating. Lovely stuff.

Lovely stuff. <a href="https://www.shutupandsitdown.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=podcastle&amp;tag=the-mind" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Mind</a>, <a href="https://www.shutupandsitdown.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=podcastle&amp;tag=cardline-animals" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cardline: Animals</a>, <a href="https://www.shutupandsitdown.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=podcastle&amp;tag=bye-bye-black-sheep" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bye-Bye Black Sheep</a>, <a href="https://www.shutupandsitdown.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=podcastle&amp;tag=kemet" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kemet</a>, <a href="https://www.shutupandsitdown.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=podcastle&amp;tag=kemet-set" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kemet: Set</a>, <a href="https://www.shutupandsitdown.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=podcastle&amp;tag=treasure-island" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Treasure Island</a>, <a href="https://www.shutupandsitdown.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=podcastle&amp;tag=fireball-island" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Fireball Island</a>, <a href="https://www.shutupandsitdown.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=podcastle&amp;tag=bunny-kingdom" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bunny Kingdom</a>

Podcast #76: Long John's Bad Mind

Congratulations all, you’ve made it! It’s the very 100th Shut Up and Sit Down podcast! Gosh, the podcast hill is so high up here that I’m pretty sure I can see episode 43, fumbling around in that bush with a sandwich. Matt and Quinns are briefly joined by Pip for an sleep-deprived natter about some interesting games. Obscurio (16:14) sounds like Wizard-Dixit with traitors, and incredibly summoned a cheer from the crowd simply for use of the word “acetate”. Tumblin’ Dice (21:05) got a little love, but probably deserves more than anyone can give it, before Matt then went on to talk about playing the award-winning RPG Mothership (24:50) - a sci-fi horror system that conveys the relatable experience of waking up after a very long time and immediately being attacked by stress. We were thrilled to find that many of those who’d managed to check it out at SHUX finally understood the hype from our review of Blood on the Clocktower (35:13) - a beautiful beast that is more than the sum of its frankly dastardly parts. Delving into Vast: the Mysterious Manor (39:58) - an asymmetrical game in which you can literally play as the mysterious manor - left us with mixed feelings about pacing but strong feelings towards skeletons, before we finally talked about food and/or animals with Yum Yum Island (45:36) and Nickelodeon Splat Attack! (50:06). Apologies for the quality of the audio in this episode - we had some issues with the room that we weren’t able to resolve. If you’d like to listen to this episode with “moving pictures”, you can also watch it here, on Youtube! Finally, cheers again to our amazing community for creating these podcast transcripts - usually completed within a week of the podcast's release. 100 episodes is truly "big potatoes" - thank you so much for listening!

Podcast #50: Our Top 5 Games of 2016!

IS THIS THE END FOR OUR HEROES?! Matt, Paul and Quinns were last seen launching an expedition to get to the top of the Shut Up &amp; Sit Down review stack. They talked about wanting to scale games like Mountaineers, A Tale of Pirates, The Climbers, the second edition of London and the Munchkin Collectible Card Game (which actually sounded... quite good?). They were also talking about getting to the bottom of a thought-provoking reader mail. It's rumoured that it questioned whether pirating board games became an ethical grey area in some countries. Today we found this recording. It's the only evidence we could find that they're still alive. Come home safe, boys. Mountaineers, The Climbers, London (second edition), Munchkin Collectible Card Game, A Tale of Pirates, Gaia Project

Podcast #72: Climbing Mount London

Everybody, please remain in your seats with your seatbelts securely fastened. We're expecting some turbulence. Some turbulent discussions of board games, that is! In this one and only 74th episode of the SU&amp;SD podcast, Matt and Quinns discuss their weird wooden mates in the Journeyman expansion for Isle of Skye. They chat about stabbing nightmares with pencils in Stuffed Fables, which might be best described as "Toy Story directed by Tim Burton". There's a discussion of the grand game of War of the Ring (second edition), and the real-life backache it gave Quinns. Finally, the two offer their smokin' hot first impressions of Rising Sun, a beautiful game about Japan (but not) where you fight wars (but you don't) and negotiate alliances (but not really). Enjoy, everybody!  Isle of Skye, Isle of Skye: Journeyman, Stuffed Fables, War of the Ring (Second Edition), War of the Ring, rising sun

Podcast #97: Meeting Your Shadow Self and Other Excitements

Like the plot of every time-travel movie ever, Matt and Quinns have officially gone too far into the past and may never be the same again. In this unusually raunchy edition of the acclaimed SU&amp;SD podcast the pair discuss/complain about some titans of the 80's and 90's- Space Hulk, Blood Bowl and Magic: The Gathering. Meanwhile, Paul offers much more sedate comments on Scythe and Santorini. Finally, the group discuss some folk games sent in by an anthropologist... which are played by monkeys. Join us for the critical analysis of Magic, but stick around for our description "Hair In Mouth Game". Have you played any games from your childhood recently? And were they rubbish? Scythe, Santorini, Magic: The Gathering, Blood Bowl, Space Hulk

It's a podcast! And you know what that means… it’s Friday time! Wait... On this rambling 124th episode of the Shut Up &amp; Sit Down Podcast Ava, Tom, and Quinns chat about a couple light and silly games to brighten the mood before plunging headfirst into a big greasy barrel of eurogames. Master Word and Sticky Chameleons don’t stand a chance, guzzled up before your very ears like boardgame hors d’oeuvres. The main course?

Podcast #98: Seize My Silky Rails

You know what doesn't get enough kudos? Bags. Big ones, small ones, soft ones, leathery ones. Where would we be without bags? Walking home from the shops, clutching cucumbers to our chest with onions in our armpits, that's where. Our 63rd podcast is all about great games with some great bags. Paul's been building (and cursing at) stained glass windows in Sagrada, Quinns has been carelessly eroding his car in the amazing Automobiles (see our review of that one here), and this time we remember to have the chat about Orleans that was meant to go the previous episode. Inspired by these three titles, Shut Up &amp; Sit Down's campaign for More Bags In Games begins next week. Please send money now. Could you give two figs about bags? Are they "Not your bag"? Not a problem! Paul and Quinns also provide some early impressions of the ludicrously pretty Wasteland Express Delivery Service, and answer a reader mail about why long games lead to a special kind of exhaustion.  Sagrada, Wasteland Express Delivery Service, Automobiles, Escape From 100 Million B.C., Orléans

Podcast #63: A Bag of Glass and Cheese

In what is still definitely *not* our 100th episode, Quinns and intern Ben are grappling with some truly epic boxes. As is the SU&amp;SD motto, "We grap so you don't have to." For starters, these two summon the energy to discuss their 12 hour(!) game of Western Empires (02:32). Then there's chat about the byzantine challenges of hit Kickstarter games Cloudspire (18:05) and Skulk Hollow (29:38). Quinns reveals he can't pronounce cacao in a segment on sprawling eurogame Teotihuacan: City of Gods (37:05), before the two round things off with some lighter games, namely Yokai (43:06), Detective Club (46:57), and Combo Fighter (53:06). Thanks to our amazing community, podcast transcripts are available here, and are usually completed within a week of the podcast's release.

Podcast #99.9 - My Hungry, Sleepy Civilization

Matt, Quinns and Ben are circling podcast #100 like talkative nerds circling a numerical drain. Quickly! Before they slip away, why not listen to them talk about the games? On this podcast there's chat about party game We're Doomed! (02:23), classic card game For Sale (10:00), 2010 smash hit Alien Frontiers (15:40), the enigmatic Wooly Wars (23:26), hot new box Air, Land &amp; Sea (30:03) and Kickstarter behemoth Cerebria: The Inside World (40:11). There's also a lovely reader mail this week asking which games have the best Endgame Energy. In news that continues to blow our minds, podcast transcripts are available here courtesy of our fabulous community, and are usually completed within a week of the podcast's release. Also, if you're a geologist who would like to contribute to our discussion of sand, please do leave a comment. We're clearly idiots, and we need all the facts that we can get.

Podcast #99: Sea Football

Can you hear a distant rumble of people applauding, firing party poppers and doing synchronised donuts in their cars? Don't panic! Nothing could be more natural when our post-Gen Con podcast rolls around. It's possible that there's never been such a diverse and exciting array of games tucked into a single SU&amp;SD podcast. Today, Paul and Quinns exchange first impressions of Keyforge: Call of the Archons, Fantasy Flight's new collaboration with Richard Garfield where every deck ever printed will be unique to you. Up next is Gen 7, the dramatic and curious sequel to Dead of Winter that takes place aboard a generation ship. Then there's Nyctophobia, a game where all but one player is blindfolded and being hunted by a murderer. Critical Mass, which might be the best game of mecha-on-mecha violence ever made? Railroad Ink, which is the first roll-and-write game we've found that could steal the throne from Welcome To. And the pair close by talking about The Estates, which is both the meanest and most devious game of auctions that Quinns has ever experienced. Among those six games are no less than four contenders for the prestigious SU&amp;SD Recommends badge. You heard it here first- the rest of 2018 is going to be absolutely fabulous. UPDATE: We now have a complete transcription of this podcast, courtesy of SU&amp;SD fan InkyBloc!  Gen 7, Nyctophobia, Critical Mass, Railroad Ink, The Estates, Keyforge
