0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the shut up and sit down podcast, a podcast all about board games, the people who love them, and a third thing that gives this title a kind of rhythmic pace that we
0:21.5	haven't found yet, but we're zeroing in on it. My name's Quentin Smith and I am joined today by
0:26.1	Tom Brewster. I think normally the third thing is just board games again, isn't it? I know,
0:30.5	but it's dumb. That's a dumb joke. And what if the people tuning into this podcast right now
0:34.5	are here for serious discussion about board games. I want them to feel
0:37.5	like they've come to the right place as well. They have. Maybe. Don't say maybe. Be confident. Fine.
0:43.0	They have. There we go. Today on this very serious board game podcast that occasionally has jokes and gags and
0:49.5	goose, we're going to be talking about three board games for you. We're going to be talking about three board games for you. We're going to be talking about Ahoi, an asymmetric pirate game from Lader Games, the makers of Root. We're going to be talking

1:27.4	dropped all the way. There we go. That's translucent cards. My goodness. Boom. Mike dropped all the way.
1:29.5	There we go.
1:29.9	That's like the most cohesive theme we've had to a podcast ever and it's barely a theme.
1:34.5	Once again, yeah, you're really not selling this podcast to people who are new.
1:37.5	If you're new, let me tell you, strap in because there's going to be some discussion

1:47.9	We're going to kick off this podcast with a little chat about Ahoi, which is a pirate-based asymmetrical, skirmishy, battley, warry-gamy kind of thing, area control thing from later games.
