Hello and welcome to episode 1, 2, 3. It's easy as A, B, D. We are Shadow Paces down.

This is the Shadow Paces down podcast. It's a podcast for people who like board games,

or people who just want to be a board game. And this week we are all exhausted.

At least joined by Tired Tom Brewster and Tired Ava Fox Force.

I Tired because I stupidly got carried away and was up to one in the morning,

fiddling around with wires and poles and nuts and bolts.

Ava you're tired because you're trying to fix a weird computer problem involving a keyboard,

not typing things properly. Yeah. Yeah, that and chronic fatigue, you know.

Chronic fatigue as well. Yeah, we don't want to underplay that. That's probably a part of it.

Hey, Tom, why are you tired? I'm tired because I've not left this room in three days. Wow.

Cool. Well, after we finish this, you're going to leave this room. That's an order, soldier.

I'll try my best on today's podcast. We have got Ava talking about a game which involves you

being a post person in Germany. Yeah, post you post you Germany. Post you post you Germany.

That may not be the name of a great one. We'll come back to that very soon. Tom is going to be

taking us on an absolute. It's going to be like the tea cups. And the tour de force of family

tea cups. An Odyssey, one might say, a fantasy of family games, the family games zone with Tom,

Tom, Tom. And after that, I am going to be waxing just a little bit lyrical about the marvellous

underfalling skies. Again, we reviewed on the website just recently, but also, it's worth talking

about again because gosh, what a peach, what a peach, what a peach. And that will be this podcast.

We might be rambly, we might be strange, we might just be slightly sluggish. We'll find out.

Podcast, go. I have been playing Turn and Taxis on board game arena, a game by Andreas

and Karen Saifart from a very long time ago in 2006, when it won an award for being a good game in 2006.
