Summary

In this furious episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down podcast, Quinns, Ava, and Tom are talking about three games that couldn’t be more different. First up we’ve got a chat about Illumination - a game all about scrawling doodles in the margins of MonkBooks, before pivoting hard into playing (?) with (?) dogs in Good Puppers - a set collection game with a sinister backstory. Finally, we’re talking about our not-too-positive experience with Memoir ‘44 Flight Plan, and Quinns asks everyone a difficult question.

PS: I’m really sorry about the stings.

Have a great weekend, everybody!

0:18.0	I'm joined today by Quinton Smith.
0:24.2	Hello, Ava Foxfurt. And I'm joined today by Quinton Smith. Hello, Ava Foxworth. And I'm joined here today by Tom Brewster. Hello, Tom Brewster. And we're here to talk about board games, board
0:29.8	games and board games. We have got a few lovely little treats for you coming up. We've got a game

0:44.0	I mean, it says memories, but it is war, isn't it?
0:47.3	It's just war fighting.
0:49.5	And then we've got something that Quin's is keeping secret from me, which is titled
0:52.9	Quentin's Special Debate, which is titled Quentin's special debate,
0:55.7	which could mean anything, and that should be exciting. I think it's going to be a debate,
1:02.3	and it's going to be quite something. Stop trying to... Is it going to be special? Is it going to be special?
1:07.0	Is it going to be special, Quinn? I, well, I don't know. It depends whether you two
1:10.8	continue to be antagonistic and difficult. It depends if we're up to the task, I suppose. I think
1:15.9	you're both up to the task if you try hard. My special debate is, I think, going to be a value to
1:20.0	the audience, going to be a value to anybody who likes buying board games, or anyone who's
1:25.3	interested in comparing one thing against another thing.
1:31.0	I mean, that should be a good target audience for us, right?
1:35.5	Because I think that we try and do all of those things.
1:38.4	Well, sometimes, maybe sometimes we do, but maybe also sometimes we don't.
1:43.8	Oh, I'm comparing and contrasting.
