That's right.

That's right. That's right. That was the theme tune for the Shadow Pins It Down.

Resolation cast number three. We are still in lockdown, but don't worry, because we've got it locked down with some fascinating thoughts and conversations and things about games now.

On the one hand, I feel that we are really hitting our groove. We're playing loads of stuff digitally. I'm getting into print and play stuff. On the other hand, I have just locked myself in my office.

What? Well, it happened about an hour ago while we were selling up to record the podcast, but I closed the door, because obviously, don't want to have a rehearsal.

When your door handles in your flat, I'm insane.

Yeah, and I went to closed door, and then the door handle came off in my hand.

That brings it entirely new meaning to self-isolation.

You guys don't know about this, but just before we started recording, I was banging on the wall of my office trying to wake up my wife so she could let me out.

Wow. And that this now brings some new context to me saying to you whilst I was trying to set up some of the audio stuff.

I went back if we were correct or not. We're going to talk about Calico kickstart a game that's going to be released in the next year.

We've played it early, dig it to Lee and it's a game about building a cult and getting cats and having an aneurysm.

We're going to talk about Paxpamiya's second edition, a game about being Afghani tribes in the 19th century that Tom will describe as having rules spaghetti, which is both tasty and apt.

We're going to talk about our first foray into 18 XX games, the enormous genre of trainee geek games about trains.

We played 1889 history of Shikoku Railways and it was fascinating and finally we're going to be talking about Watergate, a game of Nixon trying not to get caught by a couple of sexy journalists.

Without further ado, let's do the podcast.
