Podcast! This week, we’re covering our favourite games from PAX East - a convention that happened just last week! You might think it was in May, but you are actually wrong. It’s because of timezones.

City of Six Moons is a board game with a rulebook entirely written in an alien language… and it is FASCINATING. Tom lost his mind a bit, playing this one, and you can watch the results right here: www.shutupandsitdown.com?post_type=vi...

Ooooh! Another podcast? For me? Yes please, that’ll go down a treat. On this latest episode, Matt and Tom are chatting about Nova Era, 3 Chapters, and Creature Caravan. What unites these three games? You better believe it is ‘CARDS’! www.shutupandsitdown.com/podcastle/po...

New Video! This week, Tom and Matt are tackling a recent favourite eurogame - Shackleton Base! It’s got workers, it’s got placement, it’s got various forms of currency! But it’s also got tourism, terrible greed, and a complete disrespect for our favourite big ball of cheese Link below!

Podcast! This week we’ve got a cluster of rather intriguing boxes! Witch Hunts! Mice Musicians! Moon Money! AND MORE! Well, actually, that’s about it. Don’t get greedy now, you’ll need room for dessert. www.shutupandsitdown.com/podcastle/po...

Sometimes we have to review a game because it’s great. Sometimes we have to review a game because it means Matt can pretend to be Dracula for an afternoon. You simply cannot guess the category this one falls into. (It’s also great) Link below!

Podcast! Yeah, sure, it’s the wrong day for it! But something was wrong with the big green ‘upload’ button. It just didn't work. IT JUST DIDN’T WORK.

Is Fromage - “The Cheese Eurogame” cheesy enough? Does its rotating wheel of bries and goudas bring joy or despair? Should you pay the recommended retail price, to conquer Brittany with a soft buttery edam?! Maybe! youtu.be/FwL_lnxVAg0

This week’s episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast contains sizzling hot opinions on Corps of Discovery, Mistborn, Fromage, AND Triqueta! Careful now! You’ll burn your hand! Wait for it to cool down a bit there lad and eat slowly, alright? Nice. Can you help with the washing up, as well?
