Board Game Arena gets more and more of our gaming time, what with its snappy interface and minimal system requirements. The sound effects, though, are controversial. The community seems divided on whether the whooshes are pleasing or distracting, and whether the knock-knock-knock sound is charming or nerve-wracking. We have heard the noise accused of being evocative of imminent swatting, which seems excessive but potentially horrifying.

In this garishly 127th episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Matt, Tom and Ava have a meandering little chat-a-thon about Dune Imperium - a spicy hot game that at least two of the folks on the podcast... aren’t all that hot for. I bet you can’t guess who.
We’re trying a bunch of new formats to see what fits in our new world of weekly pods - so, as always, your thoughts and feelings are appreciated.
In this episode Elaine and Efka go over Hallertau, a game about rural hop farming, Nidavellir, a game of recruiting a fantasy dwarf army and Beyond the Sun, a game about space.

We're moving into the terrible teens of the Board Game Barrage Top 50 Games of All Time. I learned all I know about American teenagers from TV, so I assume this is where all the sex and drugs come in. Let's get to it then, forty (roughly) more games that we simply adore. As the list goes on, they only get better and better. That is, after all, the premise.

Episode 70: Special Episode: #SydneySizzle – All you need to know about Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition! Plus, Sarah, Def and Steve Count down our Top 10 of 2019
HERE WE GO!
Today is the day we hear the infamous #SydneySizzle
Sydney Engelstein and Nick Little tell us everything they can about Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition! Find out how it will play, what has changed and what has stayed the same. One thing we can tell you, is Steve is still on the floor in shock!
The Sizzle happens at (44:28), right in the middle of our Top 10 of 2019!
Why 2019? Well in Australia, often we receive games a little later than the rest of the world, so often we play games for the first time in the year following its release. But even if that isn’t the case, it means we have had a chance to play these games a few more times, so we have more to say and understand about the game.

Hey Now Cabalists, the Founders are back for another installment of your favorite 3-hour dose of insubordinate nonsense! Today the gang chats up a bunch of awesome games including Risk: Legacy, The Shores of Tripoli, Dwellings of Eldervale, What Do You Meme?, Survive Escape from Atlantis and Tidal Blades: Heroes of the Reef. Then we jump right into a feature review of Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps from Gale Force Nine. Tony T is on point yet again with the most astounding tabletop gaming news segment in the history of tabletop gaming media and the rest of the guys ruin it by cracking wise and pointing out all the mispronunciations. And the crew wraps up the show with another Short Topic Extravaganza featuring the topics of how to make a top 50 favorite games list, do we keep stats of our plays and do the Founders enjoy new games or old games better. Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps Imperium Overview 01:00:37, Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps Review 01:06:14, News with Tony T 01:33:15, Short Topic Extravaganza 02:18:35
If you've been following board games social media recently, you might have noticed that it's been a rough couple of weeks. Incidents like these, albeit difficult, allow us a chance to define our community and underscore our values. Silence can imply consent. We can either choose to silently defend powerful figures use their influence to harm vulnerable people without consequence, or we can choose to try and speak up to become a more welcoming and inclusive community. So Very Wrong About Games chooses to try to do the latter.
00:57 Our statement on Phil Eklund and Daniele Tascini
Tom joins Suzanne and Mandi on this episode! Tom takes a little graphic design rant detour - but the crew manages to cover Village Green, Burgle Bros 2, and Under Falling Skies before they wrap up with a Vegas Game Pie (Kringle.)
Episode 69 - Special Guest: Martin Gonzalvez, Steampunk Rally Fusion, Warp's Edge, Barrage: the Leeghwater Project Expansion
Ever wanted to have a crack at building your own game prototype? Did your latest Kickstarter come with PNP files and you're wondering what to do with them? Well, we've got your back!
On this episode Steve, Dan and Adrian are joined by the guru of Print and Play, Martin Gonzalvez. We discuss his solo-gaming focused podcast Solosaurus and of course the world of Print and Play games. It's everything you wanted to know but were too afraid to ask! We also find out the story behind the #BlameMartinG movement
In our Sizzling Games segment, Dan has been racing around Steampunk Rally Fusion, Martin has been going to the Warps' Edge, Steve believes his gaming strategies are Unmatched, and Adrian has been busy building The Leeghwater Project.
Finally, we discuss the impact that Swearing An Oath has been having on our gaming lately and revise the segment by swearing some more realistic gaming oaths.
All that and the usual shenanigans in Episode 69 of the Board Game BBQ Podcast.
