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!

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.
