Summary
On this gloopy episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt are donning their Memory Marigolds and getting elbow-deep in the past; recalling titles played all the way back in November 2025 (imagine!).
Expect rambling thoughts about a whole cluster of games played at PAXU 2025, and a few other sneaky additions to the lineup last-minute.
Have a great week, everybody!

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the very 288th episode of the Shut Up and Sit Down podcast, the podcast about games, board games and the people who love board games. |
| 0:18.9 | Wow, wow, wow, indeed. And we're going to be talking about some games that we haven't played for wow wow indeed and we're going to be talking about |
| 0:21.7 | some games but we haven't played for a little while we're going to be doing something that I like |
| 0:25.5 | to think of of putting on those really long rubber gloves that people wear for chemical spills and |
| 0:30.7 | putting our arms into the gloopy still warm memory bin of our collective minds. The memory tub. We're going to put our arms in there |
| 0:39.6 | and feel what lumpy pieces of memory are jaggedy enough that we can grasp them, dredge them out |
| 0:45.3 | and tell you about them. And you know what? We're not even going to give a run order for this |
| 0:49.1 | podcast. We're just going to be pulling out these little nuggets of memories one at a time and |
| 0:53.5 | talking about a big |
| 0:54.3 | list of games that we played in an order that we ourselves do not currently be aware of that much. |
| 1:00.6 | Normally we do like a rundown and the games we're going to talk about on the podcast. |
| 1:04.1 | This time, it's all soup. |
| 1:06.0 | I'd say the gloves are off, but they're not. The gloves are very much on because we do not |
| 1:09.5 | know what memories we may uncover. Matt, I want to talk about a poner first. Well, that's you're right. You've |
| 1:17.4 | pulled it out. I can see there's a tiny memory of a pony in your grubby, grubby hands. |
| 1:21.9 | It's actually quite a large memory of a pony. My gosh, this is a confusing memory for me. |
| 1:26.4 | It's confusing memory because I'm not |
| 1:28.3 | entirely sure that it happened. This is a horse game. But it's not a horse game like we |
| 1:33.9 | normally talk about horse games. What do you mean the one horse game we talk about? Hundreds of |
| 1:38.7 | horses. And winning ticket. And long shot the dice game. And winners circle. We had a whole |
| 1:44.0 | thing the other day talking about. All right. So I forgot about those. I don't think of them. You're going to laugh at me. I don't think of those as being horse games. I think of those as being horse racing games. And horse racing games, I feel like horses are only tangentially involved in when they're fictional games. |
| 1:57.8 | Sure. Whereas the only real horse game in my heart up until this, is hundreds of horses. A game truly about horses. What about what it means to be a horse? About what is a horse? What's in a horse's eyes? Who can never really truly know or love a horse? However, this is not about that. This is about a different side of the horse. The mechanical side. The money side. |
