Through three ferocious bouts of slippery copyright law, our heroes put their heroes to the test in a battle of wits, strategy, and pointing out how ridiculous it is that Bloody Mary just dropkicked Bigfoot.

Return of the Bob! If you don't know what a BGBBOB, boy you've missed out. Twelve games enter, and, well, they all exit, but only once they've been arranged in the appropriate order via a series of one on one fights. And fights are doubly appropriate this week, because we're battling it out in search of the best combat systems. Before we wish for peace, we talk about 7 Wonders: Architects, Kokopelli, and Canopy.

On this special episode Adrian, Mitch and Sarah are joined by Ben and Adam from Motor City Games. Adrian is so excited to have the boys on the show that his internet spontaneously combusts! It's left to Mitch and Sarah to pick up the pieces and carry on with the show. Don't worry, if you can get through all of the air-fryer, cookie, and BBQ talk, they do actually talk about some board games as well, including their upcoming release: Motor City.
In the Board Game Bracket we settle the last match-up, Pandemic Legacy Season One vs Cartographers, before we tee up the next battle: Wingspan vs Lords of Waterdeep. To make sure your favourite goes through to the next round make sure you vote on our socials.
Finally, in Swear An Oath Sarah was unable to fulfil her oath due to Adrian's laziness, but Mitch was very pleased to find that playing Great Western Trail solo was challenging and still great fun. And the lads from Motor City Games get in on the oath action. New oaths include to play Arkwright: The Card Game solo (Sarah), Reworld (Adam), Legends of Sleepy Hollow (Ben), and Cerebria (Mitch).

In this vaguely threatening episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt are chatting about a ‘whole buncha guys’! Some of them are on, in, and around a big ‘ol wall in Awaken Realms’ The Great Wall; and others are skulking around the streets of Chicago in Gale Force 9’s Wise Guys! We’re also having a brief chat about all the spoilers that Matt unearthed in The Initiative - so plug up your ears at the end if you want to make sure you remain unspoiled.
