Hello and welcome to the very 154th episode of the Shut Up and Sit Down podcast, a podcast that is always about board games. My name is Tom Brewster,

and I'm a board game, and I am joined today by Ava Foxford. And I'm a board game.

Everyone's a board game if you take them apart into lots of little components and put them on

a table and just have fun with it.

Please don't do that to me.

On today's episode of the podcast, we're going to be talking about a trio of games.

We're going to start with Lunar Capital, a game about doing capitalism on the moon.

And we're then going to talk about a pair of games that I think you described

Ava as games that were one thing and are now a different thing. Yeah, that's true. That's the thing

that happened to them. They were something and now another something. And those two games are

terraforming Mars, Ares expedition, a game about going to Mars and terraforming it, but smaller, and the Lost Cities

Roll and Right, a game about rolling and writing and venturing into ruins. That's what we're

talking about on this podcast. I always get this weird sort of energy when it's me and you on a podcast,

because it does feel like we're a little bit like you know we've we described it

previously as the dads aren't here cast yeah we're sort of like slightly off the rails in the sort

of non-bounded podcast zone we're like we've been let loose in the mcdonald's child's play area

of podcasts yeah that's it i'm about to jump into the ball pit.

Maybe there's going to be a cake port along in a minute.

I am running into a wall as fast as I can.

I did that a lot of those child's play areas.

I recently visited my home and had a look at some old photos that were stashed around there and I found a photo of like a child's

McDonald's party that I had and there's just one really wonderful photo where everyone like this entire gang of kids is charging around the corner but I inexplicably am facing the wrong way. I've got no idea what's going on.
