0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the very shut up and sit down podcast, the podcast, board games, board games, board games, board games. My name is Matt Lees and I'm joined by Tom Brewster. That might be a record of the number of board game drops that you put into the intro to this podcast. |
0:26.6 | That was astonishingly board gamey. |
0:28.6 | Thank you. Yeah. Well, this time it really is because you know what we're going to be talking about on this podcast today, Tom? |
0:33.6 | No way. No way. Don't say it. Yes. Oh, it's board games. Three board games. Uh, yeah. |
0:39.7 | Due to popular demand, we've had a lot of messages. A lot of the reviews on the iTunes and other |
0:43.9 | platforms, one of the five stars saying, five stars, I love this. But gosh, I wish they talk about |
0:48.8 | board games. Yeah. So we've listened to what you said, and we've done things in response to that. |
0:54.9 | Today, it's all about board games. |
0:57.3 | Now, the first board game we're going to be talking about, Tom, is a board game called Cities, published by DeVir. |
1:02.6 | Yeah, it's DeVir's Cities. |

1:16.1 | because it's been cursing my brain of going, yes, it's just the word cities on the box, but it's |
1:20.5 | made by DeVir. And sometimes their games are frustrating, but they're always interesting. So I'm |
1:24.9 | hoping that this will be one of those two things at a bare minimum. |
1:29.7 | After that, we're going to be talking about Floresstery, a game that I've played. I've played a lot of. |
1:35.3 | And I'm going to tell you about it, Tom, and you're going to be interested in it. |
1:38.9 | And then finally, you're going to be telling me about, I'm going to say, Morrison's sausage factory. |
1:44.9 | It's called the Morrison Game Factory. |
1:47.3 | But I can see why you were confused. |
1:49.6 | Morrison's sausage factory, of course, every person from the UK's favorite section of Morrisons. |
