Summary

Welcome to the loosiest, goosiest episode of the Shut Up and Sit Down podcast yet, where three adults try to have a conversation via the internet without talking over each other all of the time. Experience the mixed results contained therein! Marvel at how 5 games are spread thinly over an hour of your life, like existential marmalade made of cardboard and opinions. What games, specifically - I hear you roar? I was getting there, no need to get impatient.

This week we’re bobbing around on an ocean of average in Flotilla, drinking some questionably garnered tea in Alubari: A Nice Cup Of Tea, and pelting druids with rocks in Cairn. Sandwiched amidst these activities one can find a brief segue through the eccentric Tokyo Game Show, and a brief visit to the ancient tabletop colossus that is The Castles of Burgundy. Also in this podcast: meandering chats about how the team is faring under quarantine, and a few brief teases of potential bread-based content.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the very first shove it up and sit down isolation cast. A brand new
0:19.4	form of the podcast. It's exactly the same, but none of us
0:22.3	in the same room. And that's, that's it. So what are we going to be talking about today on the
0:28.1	isolation cast, Quins? We are going to be talking about a whole load of board games on this
0:33.8	board gaming podcast, and that's going to continue until we can't play any more.
0:38.6	We've got a limited selection now, right?
0:40.3	Because it's all the games we've played before the fall, as I've been thinking of it.
0:44.9	But on this podcast, we're going to tell you about Flotilla, a game of managing boats and deciding
0:49.5	when to become a plane.
0:50.9	We're going to be talking about Alubari, a nice cup of tea, a game about not having
0:55.9	enough nice cups of tea and that being a real problem for your economy. We're going to be talking
0:59.5	about Tokyo Game Show, a fabulously demented party game. We're going to be talking about the
1:05.4	castles of Burgundy, the OG castles of Burgundy that came out nine years ago, which I played.
1:11.7	Let me tell you, boys, still real good.
1:13.7	We're going to be talking about Ken, or as you two have been calling it, a druid chess, is that right?
1:18.8	Druid rugby chess, I think, is what I've landed on.
1:21.2	Druid, Druid rugby chess. And finally, we're going to be talking about some of the videos we've put out recently on the Shut Up and Sit Down YouTube channel, which have been our reviews of wavelength and unmatched.
1:33.0	But first things first, I'm going to ask you two boys, how you're holding up in isolation?
1:38.0	You know what? I'm doing OK, Quinn's. I'm surviving and I may be even thriving, because let me tell you, I was born indoors and I'm
1:45.7	going to stay indoors. I'm much the same. I should point out, my name's Quinton Smith. That was
1:51.2	the fabulous voice of Tom Brewster, you just heard. And we are joined, of course, by Matt Lees.
