Summary

On this advanced episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt are once again settling into the pod-thrones to yap about “some games wot they have played”.

Nova Era challenges players to develop a healthy civilisation, 3 Chapters is a set collection AND trick taking AND drafting game all squished into one box, and Creature Caravan is a gentle ride through a terrifyingly large deck of cards.

There’s lots to like! Three whole games to like, in fact. Board games! Who knew?!

Thanks for listening, everyone!

0:00.0	Hello everybody and welcome to the very latest episode of the Shut Up and Sit Down podcast, a podcast that is once again about board games, board games and the people who love board games.
