This week on the Shut Up & Sit Down podcast, we’re talking two players! Tag Team is a head-to-head brawler, and Suna Valo is exactly the same, but for farms! Finally, Matt waxes lyrical about General Orders’ Samurai Sequel: ‘Sengoku Jidai’ - and, wit... more

It’s just little old Tom this week on the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, and he’s taking you through a bunch of odds and ends that might otherwise slip through the metaphorical cracks of the metaphorical floorboards. They wouldn’t fit through the real f... more

Three kinds of wood, all alike in dignity. Except one of them is on fire, and one of them has a lot of toothy rodents in it. I’m really straining to find some way of making a kind of beaver ratatouille joke, but it’s not coming naturally. ‘Beavertoui... more

  • G*d D*mn Hilarious

    Tom and Emily’s banter is so pithy and mirth-filled, the topic they are discussing is almost irrelevant. They could be reviewing in-depth the intricate details of a rural yawning festival from 1885, and I’d probably still be riveted to the discussion.

    I’ve really enjoyed all the various iterations of Shut Up and Sit Down over the years and this is an excellent representation.

    The SUSD podcast used to the GOAT board game podcast. It’s now inconsistent, sporadically release, poorly recorded, and lacks focus

  • A Pair of Pears to you!

    Is good show.

    Genuinely useful discussion of games to get an idea of what you’re getting into before buying/playing for the first time.

    Even when I disagree (the Stardew Valley Boardgame was more fun then the video game, fight me Quinns)

    Sometimes the discussion is a little less focused, but the gang are fun to listen to regardless.
