No topic is off-limits for the upcoming return of our Omnibus Questions, as we demonstrate in this episode by tackling such issues as pre-Reformation papal indulgences. And if you were to guess which host brought up that little historical nugget, you'd be wrong!

Possible questions: who would win in a street fight, J.G. Fichte or Nietzsche? Do sheep poop? Who is the best member of Team Avatar? (Fichte, yes, and Appa, respectively)

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.

On this almost chiaroscuro episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Pip are chatting about games that could not be more different. First up, Rats of Wistar - a crunchy engine-building game with rats and cards and being as efficient as possible within a strict turn limit. That’s followed up with Dro Polter and Rafter Five - two Oink games that are some of their silliest yet.

Have a great weekend, everybody!

Sometimes a game has a conceit so good, that it's the only description you need to sell someone on it. Let's call it the hook. Do all games have them, or is it something that only a certain subcategory of game can get away with - and why don't they all just print that on the box cover? Before we get the hook, we talk about Havalandi, Courtisans, 12 Chip Trick, and Dune Imperium: Uprising.

While we have little experience with Ed Sullivan's TV offerings, his legacy is a fascinating one. While he capitulated to pressure during the Red Scare, he did show remarkable courage in platforming African American performers despite opposition from his sponsors. Quite surprising is that the illness that eventually killed him was kept a secret from him by his family, a practise that was already frowned on in the United States by the seventies but is still widespread in many parts of the world.

There is a duality in first time plays, at least when you’re playing with a mind to reviewing. One path leads to potential, the other to the bin. A first time play can reveal quirks and kinks that promise an interesting second or third or fourth and beyond plays; exploration and indulgence. It can equally reveal a design you never wish to revisit. On today’s episode - two board games. Arcs and Salton Sea. A remix of space board games and a trudge through the bleak world of mining lithium. Each a representative of both polar opposites of first impressions.
