Summary

Paul:  What is this?! Why, it’s the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast! At last, you can enjoy SU&SD while shelling crabs, or during an exceptionally banal bout of lovemaking.

Topics of discussion include Mage Knight, Race for the Galaxy and the deliciously devious Shadow Hunters.

Rex: Final Days of an Empire, Mage Knight Board Game, Runebound (Third Edition), Alien Frontiers, Race for the Galaxy, A Game of Thrones: The Board Game, Dixit, The Castles of Burgundy, Galaxy Trucker, Kingdom Builder, Arkham Horror, Carcassonne, Skull, Sneaks & Snitches, Shadow Hunters
