On this morally bankrupt episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down podcast, Tom and Matt are once again doing what they do best; playing at board games and going “:-)”

First up is Emberheart! It’s got dragons, it’s got bidding, it’s got scales and wings and another attribute that we can’t quite recall. And it’s goooooood! Following that, our podboys sit at the cardstock conveyor belt that is Sushi Go Party: Chef’s Special! Listen as they they pluck onigiri, california rolls, and strawberry deserts directly from the waiting palm of the chef - cramming them all at once into eachothers’ mouths! Now that’s a Sushi Go Party.

And finally, a spot of Eternal Sevens - a spiritual-sequel to the underground hit of 2025, Eternal Decks. It’s got Tom feeling complicated thoughts about cards, about sequels, about lightning, and about bottles....

Have a great week, everybody!

On this mildly cooked episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down podcast, Tom and Matt are fresh out the “BGD Mines”! Wiping the sweat from their collective brow, they pop a gnarly squat and spin a cardboard tale…

Both have been playing a spot of The Queen’s Dilemma - the long-awaited follow-up to the King’s Dilemma that somehow contains even more dilemmas. As well as that particular hot scoop, Tom’s been playing some Railway Porters - another ‘20s themed Saashi Special where you try your utmost not to drop a suitcase on top of the waiting station master.

And finally, there’s a recap of the not-previously-podded games featured in our last video review. As a little experiment, we uploaded that last video to the podcast feed. It didn’t quite sit right, so we’ve binned it off and replaced it with TRUE, NOVEL PODTHOUGHTS.

Have a great week, everybody!

On this glittering and golden episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Matt and Tom are sitting atop a dragon’s hoard of card board! Wahey! That’s what we in the business like to call “Rhyme Style”, and you can find many examples of it in the youthmusic of today :)
Right atop the pile is the latest from frivolity enjoyers Weast Coast - Loners! It’s a card game that has an entire clown car of variably ripped dudes. Proceed with caution! Hachi Machi!!! We follow that up with the latest game from the Reiner Knizia Cardboard Industrial Complex: Gold Country! It’s camel speculation. You’ll see what we mean. Last but by no means least, Matt chats about some strange dream he had about a kind of figure-of-eight draconic salad spinner - completely unrelated to our discussion of 8 Dragons.
Have a great week, everybody!
