Summary

Note: Sorry about the audio on this one! Some very jacked up mics produced a lot of room noise that was hard to scrub. We’ll have this fixed in a couple episodes!

In this clay-based episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt are talking about a cluster of games they’ve played together recently. First up is a lengthy chat about Golem - the crunchy, Italian-designed eurogame based on the folkloric Jewish automata (it’s quite good!). Then, a couple of very speedy chats about Resist! (a fantastic solo game where you play as the SPANISH revolution) and Stomp The Plank (a great push your luck game we recently reviewed).

Have a great weekend, everybody!

nodding at me with his eyes closed in a coffee in his hand, which shows how sleepy we are.

0:26.8

We filmed video, we filmed a lot of video footage yesterday. Yes. We played a board game

0:30.5

this morning. Oh yes. It took us like an hour and a half, but we did it early. I think

0:35.2

that actually I'd go out in a limb and say that playing the board game this morning

0:39.3

was maybe more tired than maybe a day of filming. But that's not a bad thing. It was a crunchy

0:46.1

game. Was a crunchy game and maybe too crunchy for breakfast. Yes, exactly. I mean you

0:51.3

just have I wonder if also part of that is because you ate a whole can of beans, whole

0:55.5

can of beans. The theme of today is bean juice. I have been eating bean juice from a can

1:00.6

of beans. I know I'm drinking the bean juice from a different kind of beans. Yes, I was

1:05.6

going to say Matt is holding a cup of coffee, not a cup of baked beans. From Hariko to coffee.

1:13.1

On this podcast we're going to talk about three different games. We're going to have a big

1:16.7

chat about Golem, a mega crunchy combo, Tastic Euro game by some Italian designers that

1:22.5

we think is rather good. We're going to talk about Resist a solo game from the David Thompson

1:28.4

Trevor Benjamin, Roger Tankers, the design trio that's about being the French Resistance

1:33.8

and trying not to die. And we're also going to be talking about this week's video review,

1:38.3

which is from a game called Stomp the Plank, a frightfully silly game about elephants

1:42.6

going into the sea. Oh, Splash. They'll be fine. First up, we're going to talk about Golem.

1:49.8

This is the game that we played this morning. It's the game that's responsible for Matt
