0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the very Shut Up and Sit Down Podcast. The podcast all about board
0:14.9	games, board games and the people who love board games. On today's episode it's very
0:19.2	special one, it's myself, Mellie's and Tom Brewster. It's me, Tom Brewster, I'm here as well.
0:23.6	He's here, we're both in a room. Yeah. We are sitting face to face, we can see beds
0:28.1	behind each other. We're in the middle of nowhere in a strange cold cave that we've

1:43.5	It's like a 36 pound box. It's the first game box I have actually like carried around the building.
