Summary
In this X-Ray-Slow-Motion episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt are talking about two games that couldn’t be more different. First up, we’ve got the alien hospitality of Space Station Phoenix - a eurogame where you destroy your own worker placement spaces! And secondly, we’re talking Sniper Elite: The Board Game - a thematic hidden movement game where you destroy a submarine and also maybe some Nazis.
Have a great weekend, everybody!

| 0:00.0 | Hello, just a quick notice at the top of this podcast to say that in the second half, |
| 0:04.8 | there is a rather flippant and jovial discussion about guns, violence and killing. |
| 0:09.7 | Of course, this is fictional violence, it's directed towards Nazis, but it's completely |
| 0:13.9 | understandable that with current events being the way they are right now, you might not want to |
| 0:18.0 | think about guns or violence at all. If you don't want to listen to that, it's in the second half |
| 0:22.4 | of the podcast where we're talking about the sniper elite board game. The first half is mostly just |
| 0:26.1 | about Terry's chocolate oranges and space stations. Thank you very much and on with the show. |
| 0:42.1 | Hello and welcome to the Shut Up and Sit Down podcast, the podcast all about board games, |
| 0:45.7 | board games and the people who love board games. And my name is Matt Lees and the other person's |
| 0:53.3 | name on this podcast is Sir Thomas Brewster of the Brew Clan. Esquire. I was going to say, |
| 0:58.4 | I don't think you say that we're a podcast about board games, board games and the people who love |

| 1:06.0 | who love board games that aren't us. Typically. But it is, but it's fundamentally the podcast is |
| 1:10.0 | about us. Yeah. Because it's about our experiences playing board games. Welcome to the Shut Up and Sit Down |
| 1:16.4 | podcast, a podcast about us. Well, and sometimes we do have bits of the podcast, for example, |
| 1:21.6 | such as this, where we're not strictly talking about board games, but we are talking. So I think |
| 1:25.7 | it's still fine. And essentially, we have also done things like we used to do back in the day, |
| 1:29.6 | we did the the folk games section, which was about people who play games. And I'd like to bring |
| 1:34.6 | that back in the future. We need to wait until a new generation of people have developed a new |
| 1:38.4 | generation of folk games. So we get people, you know, sending us emails being. Yeah. We used to |
| 1:43.8 | play laser eye, the Timmy where one person would have laser eyes and everyone else was a hologram, |
| 1:48.9 | you know, but until then we had to. That's not like I'm on ice because it was the same stuff. |
