Hello everybody and welcome to the very 140 fourth Shut Up and Sit Down podcast and this

is a podcast about port games and I'm going to smith and this is a very very special episode

about three particularly hot games on this podcast. We're going to be talking about Royal

Visit, a card game about trying to make the king visit you failing. And that's that is

actually very decisive. It's the entire game, isn't it? That's all you can say. We're

going to be talking about Tinnitus Trail, a Martin Wallace game about trying to not get
