Tom, Julie and Eric begin by recapping their recent travels, including Julie's trip to The Gathering of Friends and Eric's family trip to Washington DC and Philadelphia. Tom recalls the recent 36-hour marathon on the video chanel, which leads us into tips for playing several games in a row. We have a pretty darn horrific Tale of Boardgaming Horror, and finish the show with our Roses, Thorns, and Hula Hoops.

This week Dana, Def and Lauren chat about the eclectic mix of games hitting their tables. Dana is bursting at the seams with a backlog of games to discuss! Back from India she is leading more pilgrimages for villagers in Arborea. Def is battling his way through his oath to play all his GMT games and has a stab at Caesar in Falling Sky: The Gallic Revolt Against Caesar. Lauren is trying to work out if a ruler and toilet brush are in fact the same length in The Same Game. 

After that we've got the regularly scheduled Question of the Pod, and we actually fulfill some of our oaths this time. 

New Question of the Pod: What are your predictions for the BGG light, medium and heavy game of the year and why?

On this mildly unhinged episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Emily are taking on a double-bill of two player games followed by a BIG CHUNKY BOX. First up is Quacks of Quedlinburg: The Duel - a two-player only version of the bag-busting (sorry) classic! We then chat about the ying to Quacks’ yang in the highly-tactical time-bending fish-em-up Fisheries of Gloucester! Finally, we chat about Bloodstones - a divisive strategy game that Tom bravely defends and recklessly batters.

It’s a good pod! We had a lot of fun! I hope you can tell!

Have a great weekend, everybody!

Adrian, Dan, and Mitch masterfully meander through an awesome array of amazing adventures. They delightfully discourse on the daring dragon domain of Wyrmspan, boldly brave the bewildering battlements of 7th Citadel, and skillfully scrutinize the salty shores of Salton Sea. But that's not all - these bodacious board game bros courageously confront the cruel crucible of Cruel Necessity and dramatically deliberate the matchless majesty of Match of the Century. It's a pun-packed, paradoxically playful podcast packed with passionate perspectives on these preeminent play pursuits. Prepare to be promptly and powerfully propelled into pure paroxysms of tabletop euphoria!

 

We also recap last week's Question of the Pod: Which board game would make the most interesting movie or TV show?
Thanks to everyone who contributed and shared their experiences with us on Discord and the Facebook Community.

 

And as always, we Swear an Oath.

 

Question of the Pod: What makes an RPG game and RPG game?
