| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Shut Up and Sit Down podcast. The podcast talk about board games, |
| 0:16.4 | board games and the people who love board games and it's a new year. It's 2023 and we're |
| 0:22.3 | still doing this. Can you believe it? Tom, I'm doing today by my friend Quentin Smith, |
| 0:28.3 | who has apparently forgotten how to podcast and just wants to interrupt all the time. And I'm |
| 0:32.3 | joined by Tom Bruce. Tom, do you still love board games in the year 2023? Yes, I do. My |
| 0:38.5 | love of board games was tested pretty thoroughly over the festive period because my family was |
| 0:44.3 | sort of collectively, you know, what asked me to bring games to them. They're like, oh, let's |
| 0:49.0 | play a game. And then the game of choice that they were sort of obsessed with over Christmas |
| 0:53.4 | was BBC's or ITV's The Wheel, The Board Game, which is as far as I can understand it, like a game |
| 1:01.3 | show where Michael McIntyre straps celebrities onto a giant wheel and spins them around whilst asking |
| 1:06.1 | them trivia questions. And how does the board game, presumably the board game really aces the trivia |
| 1:11.0 | part of that that can see. It was good. Yeah, no, it really manages the trivia. It doesn't quite |
| 1:16.8 | manage the locomotion. I don't know what I would give it out of 10. Maybe a sort of a week for |
| 1:23.4 | you. It was baffling that game. It gave me like a sort of a new appreciation for the amount of |
| 1:29.8 | work that goes into, you know, like actual board game designs. Design of board games, yeah, yeah. |
| 1:34.2 | Because the wheel, the board game had a thing in which so you'd answer a trivia question. |
| 1:38.1 | And then if you got that trivia question right, you just answer another trivia question. |
| 1:41.7 | And so on, so forth until you win the game, until you get one wrong. And so the second team |
| 1:46.9 | only got about maybe two turns in the whole of the game because it sounds like they dodged a |
| 1:51.8 | bullet judging from the design of this particular game. Do you enjoy trivia? Yes, but only in |
| 1:58.1 | areas that I actually like, I think. What areas do you like? Music trivia, board games trivia. |
| 2:05.7 | trivia. Yeah, okay. Oh, I'll just do games trivia. Wow, you're living a real full and rich life. |
