Shut Up & Sit Down

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.)

Psst! Down here! Climb into this cramped cave of chat with us. There's room for one more person. In what could well be our most feature-filled podcast ever, Matt, Paul and Quinns discuss Torchbearer, Merchant of Venus, Dragon Farkle and Drinking at the Red Dragon Inn, before getting down to (yet another) peculiarly erotic folk game. But wait! There's more! Quinns snagged video game designer Soren Johnson of Offworld Trading Company to discuss civilisation-building and trading board games. Enjoy, everybody.

Matt, Paul and Quinns meet once again to create a board gaming Voltron, and he wants to talk TO YOU! Games discussed in this episode include And Then We Held Hands, Ra, Through the Ages, FUSE and A Fake Artist Goes to New York. We also chat about board game boxes and sustainability, and end with a lovely interview with Plaid Hat's Isaac Vega.

Paul, Matt and guest star Jonathan Ying discuss the hottest new board games! And by "hottest" we mean "weirdest" (and by "new" we mean "old"). But trust us. It's a good time. Dancing Eggs has to be seen to be believed.

Matt, Paul and Quinns discuss games new and old. Elevenses! 504! Liar's Dice! Archaeology! It's not just Friedemann Friese who can pack a lot of nonsense into a tiny package.

Matt, Quinns and Paul return for 2016! New games discussed incldue Billionaire Banshee, Flick 'em Up and Marrying Mr. Darcy. Million year-old games discussed include The Fun Stick Game.

Paul's back from Board Game Geek Con, and wants to talk about everything he played! Also, Quinns gets excited about knives

This week Paul, Matt and Quinns are to be found in a Minneapolis airport Chili's. But don't worry! We won't let the glitz and glamour of our new, international lifestyle change us. Some amazing games this week, though. Star Wars: Rebellion! Fury of Dracula! Pandemic Legacy! And even Win, Lose, Banana.

Paul and Quinns and embarking on a great scientific venture! Also, they manage some spoiler-free chat about Pandemic Legacy. What a delicate cast!
