Shut Up & Sit Down

Matt, Pip and Quinns have played SO MANY NEW GAMES. New York Slice, Kitchen Rush, NMBR 9, Lazer Ryderz, Four Elements and more! An all-you-can-eat Pizza Hut buffet of board games. Come along, gorge yourself and feel a bit greasy. Recorded live at the UK Games Expo, 2016.

Matt, Pip and Quinns discuss all sorts of upcoming board games, from Eric Lang's The Godfather, to the bear-filled Barenpark, to the excitement of First Martians, before moving on to the MAIN EVENT: An early live-play of Champion of the Wild. Recorded live at the UK Games Expo, 2016.

Matt, Paul and Quinns crawl out of their writing-trenches to discuss the mammoth 20,000 word feature they wrote this week: SU&SD's take on BoardGameGeek's top 100 rated games. There's also chat about Star Wars: Destiny, Imperial 2030, Ghostbusters II (the game), ghosts (the incorporeal horrors) and Roll for the Galaxy.

Paul and Quinns are all about the *classics* in this one and only 58th ep of the SU&SD podcast. Dinosaurs! Marbles! Liar's dice! Wooden cows! There's also some chat about whether anyone will die at the upcoming SU&SD convention. If you were thinking of dying, please don't.

Paul and Quinns unite to discuss board games new and old! There's I'm The Boss!, Century: Spice Road, Citadels and Fresco. There's juggling and virgin queens. And of course, no review is complete without an analysis of the inlay of the box...

Paul, Matt and Quinns discuss some of the world's latest and greatest board games! This week that means Flamme Rouge, Mythos Tales and Yamatai. They also discuss why the Warhammer universe is like watching a raptor drown in a tar pit, and their best tips for board game conventions!

Imagine you were rotating an industrial valve to let off air pressure. Now imagine the valve is cool chat, and the air pressure is all of the games Paul and Quinns have been playing. Unlock! Kingdominoes! Magic Maze! The Networks! When I Dream! We recommend two of these five games... BUT WHICH TWO?

Team SU&SD meet at GDC to discuss all sorts of erudite topics. Should liches be banned? Must gamers be forced to make tough decisions? And how can we put a stop to actors playing folk games ON STAGE!?

The sacrifices we make for you, sweet innocent listeners. Matt and Quinns have only gone back and played 80's "classics" Space Hulk, Blood Bowl and Magic: The Gathering so you don't have to. Coincidentally, this episode has a lot more swearing that usual (all of it bleeped, at least).

Matt, Paul and Quinns return in 2017! What will the year hold? Board games, it seems, starting with Clank!, Dark Stories, Deception: Murder in Hong Kong and Welcome Back to the Dungeon! The boys also discuss why they didn't have any games at their weddings.

Paul and Quinns round off 2016 with the inaugral Pearple's Choice Awards! What will win Best Expansion? What about Best Reprint? And most importantly, with their reputation as tastemakers on the line, will they have played any of these boxes?

You know what's great? Numbers are great. For this 50th podcast (50 being one of the all-time top numbers) Paul and Quinns discuss Tyrants of the Onederdark and Spyfall 2, before discussing their top 5 games from 2016.

Paul and Quinns discuss 6 new games, 4 emails and 2 folk games in what must be their most mathematically pleasing cast ever. The pair end up recommending two games out of Dream Home, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle, Cottage Garden, Aeon's End, Mythos Tales and 4 Gods. But which... ?

Like a domestic Sisyphus, Paul and Quinns continue on their quest to play all of the things! This week that means Pax Pamir, the Conan miniatures game, the new Game of Thrones card game, a real-life Crystal Maze and something called "The Beast". Does that sound like a sex thing? Because it's definitely a sex thing.

Like a jaguar (car) or a jaguar (cat), our 47th ever podcast is a bona fide classic. Paul and Quinns discuss board games ranging from Vast: The Crystal Caverns, to Twilight Struggle, to Aquarium. They answer reader mails! They review a hilarious folk game. They discuss veggies and jam. It's everything you want in one mid-sized audio file.

Paul, Quinns and Eric Tonjes discuss games LIVE from Gen Con 2016! Ft. Pandemic Cthulu, the Runewars Miniatures Game and the Arkham Horror LCG. Plus, an interview with Vlaada Chvátil, who might just be the best Czech board game designer in the WHOLE WORLD.

In this episode Quinns proves he's young by playing the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Happy Pigs and Via Nebula, while Paul proves he's not by playing Meuterer, Mission: Red Planet and the profoundly apt Great Dinosaur Rush. We receive correspondence from our Antarctic SU&SD fan, and end with an interview with a proper board game veteran: Dr. Reiner Knizia.

It's the second podcast we recorded live at the 2016 UK Games Expo. This time we offer definitive feels on Spiel des Jahres-nominted games Karuba and Imhotep, as well as chatting about Beyond Baker Street, Yeti, Coup: Rebellion G54 and a game jam winner called Lantern. We also ask an important question: Have you started building your mausoleum?

In this cast Matt, Paul, Pip and Quinns met up with 300 fans in a sweaty room at the UK Games Expo to discuss what they'd been playing. That meant The Ravens of Thri Sahashri, Ice Cool, Treasure Hunter, the Horses & Stagecoach expansion for Colt Express, Codenames: Pictures, Czech Games' new game Adrenaline and more besides! Finally, we end with an electrifying game of Question Wood Toy Folds High. Can Matt fix his losing streak?

Strap on your jackboots! It's time for a veritable military parade of a podcast, proceeding at an impressive pace but nonetheless going on for slightly too long. Games covered include Dear Leader, A Feast to Die For, Quadropolis, Fairytale and Pandemic: Contagion, as well as the long-awaited second half of our spoiler-filled Pandemic Legacy chat! Don't worry about that particular minefield. It's very clearly signposted at the end of the cast. (This episode's thumbnail art is courtesy of BGG user Punkin 312.)
