Summary

You, at the back! Was it you that ordered a chat sandwich? Was it with ramble bread and discussion filling - extra… stream schedule?

Look. I spent ages trying to make a joke about this podcast being ‘like a sandwich’ - with the strong base of classic Eurogames (Terra Mystica and Hansa Teutonica) wedged between the spicy hot filling of Root Underworld and Frosthaven. But there you see my problem; the filling is on the outside and the bread on the inside and that just ‘AINT a sandwich, chief. And then where does Mr Cabbagehead’s Garden fit in? The pieces are all there, but my brain won’t make them fit - the sandwich metaphor falls apart like a… like a… wet… sandwich. Dang it, just listen to the podcast.

This week’s episode is extra chunky and was a lot of fun to edit! I Hope YOU (yes, you!) enjoy, and have a great weekend!

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the very 109th Shut Up and Sit Down podcast.
0:16.4	Today's episode is an absolute bumper treasure trove.
0:19.1	It's an extra big episode for an extra big baby. Well
0:22.4	done. You've deserved it. Gagagagoooooo, let's have a tickle behind your ears. Congratulations.
0:26.9	Yes, we have got for you, Root Underworld, Tom, resident absolute lover of Root and Quinn's
0:35.0	resident reviewer of Root are going to be talking about that. Isn't that going to be
0:39.8	interesting? I'll come back to that second. I'm going to be talking about Frost Haven a lot later
0:43.3	in the podcast, which is going to be interesting. I've played it for two and a half, three hours
0:48.2	with the actual designer. I'm going to let you know what my thoughts are about what I've played
0:52.8	so far of what is arguably
0:54.4	the most hyped game in the world right now. What else have we got today on the podcast,
0:59.0	Quince? We have got some brief chats about some absolute classics if you've missed us talking
1:03.9	about Terramistica or Hansa teutonica before. In fact, if those pairings of words are just
1:09.5	like a sequence of syllables and you have no idea what I'm talking about, great, sit tight, because they're two of the greatest board games ever made, and we'll be chatting a little bit about them.
1:18.0	And finally, I'm going to wrap up this podcast by talking about a game called Mr. Cabbage Heads Garden, which is exactly as charming as it sounds.
1:25.6	And also, it's my opportunity to talk a bit about the world of
1:29.3	one player, that's right, one player table top games that you can print at your house for free
1:35.3	or get an online service to do it because I've been having a lot of fun with those games.
1:43.3	So one of the things I've been playing recently is the Root Underworld expansion on Tabletop Simulator,
1:49.7	because I've been kind of unable to get it in the real world,
1:52.7	because I missed out on the Kickstarter and was lazy.
1:56.7	And only now am I playing with the lovely moles and the crows that are featured in this underworld expansion.
