Hello and welcome to the very one hundred and twenty-fourth shut up and sit-down podcast.

We're here today talking about board games, board games and some other board games.

I'm looking forward to the board games. I'm really excited for the board games. Do you like board games?

If you don't, you might not want to listen to this podcast. No, you should. You should. Oh dear,

this is all gone wrong. Board games. Okay, we are going to be talking about master words, a lovely little word games.

I think we quite like the sound of maybe.

We're going to be getting our tongues all over sticky chameleons, but don't worry, that's

not as disgusting as it sounds, or maybe it is.

We're going to be talking about Alhambra,

a game of palaces,

and we're going to complain about how big those palaces are.

We're going to talk about Merv, a game about lots of little cubes,

and we're going to say it's very pretty.

But maybe there's problems.

And then we're going to talk about a game that we really, really loved and are really excited to talk about, which is beyond the sun.

And we're going to go beyond the podcast, judging by how long we've been recording.

Ooh.

Okay.

I guarantee you started that sentence with no idea where it was going.

And then you just saved it at the end.

How could you possibly tell?

I also worried that I've given away the time travel thing of the fact that we jump back to the beginning to talk about things and I wasn't talking in the future enough. Don't tell them all the secrets.
