Quinns’ Sad Mafia

Not Much Buddy How About You

In this lightly depressed episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Quinns are having a chat about the games they’ve played recently on a rainy Thursday afternoon. First up is the team-based Mafia crunch-em-up La Famiglia: The Great Mafia War – a game we have mixed feelings about. We then take a trip through a roleplaying game about Superheroes (Masks) and a deckbuilding game about Star Wars (Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game).

Have a great weekend, everybody!

We Tried (and Failed) To Review Mahjong

Tom’s Special Dance, Lowly Transfers, Completely Forgetting How To Podcast

In this complete failure of a Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Quintin Smith is coming to you, hat in hand, to apologise profusely for not making a robust and fully-featured video review of the ancient game of Mahjong. In this episode, we talk about Mahjong, our experiences playing it for review, and why it didn’t quite make its way onto your screens!

Have a great weekend, everybody!

A PAX Redux!

The ‘Tom’s Not Here’ Cast, Spicy Decisions, SHARK CENTRAL

In this mildly nostalgic episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Matt and Ava are casting their eyes back to PAX Unplugged… to re-explain some of the games we goofed up the first time. ‘Scharfing’ Sauces in Sauscharf, ‘Deliverering’ Pizzas in Psychic Pizza Deliverers Go To The Ghost Town, and acting like a total ‘Shark’ in… Shark! Enjoy!

Have a great weekend, everybody!

The Collectible Card Game Special!

This Is Just The ‘Zimus’ Appreciation Episode, Zimus 4 Lyf

[apologies for some slightly wonky audio on this one – it’s another one-mic-two-boys special!]

In this close quarters episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Quinns are having a natter about two very interesting Collectible Card Games they’ve played recently – Flesh & Blood and SolForge Fusion! Enjoy nearly an hour of rambling chat where we don’t entirely know what we’re talking about – but are having fun regardless.
Have a great weekend, everybody!

Our 2023 Board Game Predictions!

Too Much Marvel, Why Would We Show Ourselves To Be Such Fools, Dominos

In this new paradigm in Shut Up & Sit Down Podcasting history, Tom and Quinns are chatting about what they think the board game industry holds for us all… in 2023! Expect a series of 5 completely uninformed opinions laced with ‘reckons’ and ‘guesses’ – all with a competitive twist. We’re hoping to circle back on this episode in 2024 and be overjoyed by quite how wrong we are.

Undaunted: Stalingrad and HEAT: Pedal to the Metal are Just Great Games

Quinns is a Creep Teacher, Tom is Just Having A Good Time, [REDACTED] was so very [REDACTED]

On this surprisingly colonic episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Quinns tackle two fantastic games… that one of us wishes were just a smidge better. That’s right, it’s the Undaunted: Stalingrad Spoilercast, and the HEAT: Pedal to the Metal… praisecast? These are two games we’ve reviewed recently and both think are just peachy. Enjoy!

Have a great weekend, everybody!

In this slightly early episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt have sat themselves down for a lengthy, lively chat about the game everyone is eagerly awaiting; FROSTHAVEN.

This is a mostly spoiler-free episode, focusing on what you’re going to see upon opening the box and little more than that. We start by chatting about some of our first impressions, before talking characters, story, and future coverage.

Have a great weekend, everybody!
