Hello and welcome to the shot up and sit down podcast. The podcast all about board games, board games, and the people who love board games.

I am Matt Lees and I'm joined by Tom Brewster. Hi, I'm Tom Brewster and this

episode of the podcast is done across the sea. Oh my gosh, that's true. I'm currently in a

different landmass. I'm on the same sad little sinking landmass that we've come to know and

love over the years. Is it sinking since

I haven't been away for long? Is it sinking? Did you pull the plug out? I'm in a puddle. I'm in a

very very tall puddle right now. My gosh. I mean podcasting from a puddle, that's commitment.

That's commitment. I feel like being up to your your legs or waste in water is actually going to

make the quality of the audio worse,

but it's still commitment of a sort. The whole thing is just flowing beautifully. The ripples around me.

It's zending me out. It's chilling me as I slowly become submerged in the briny deep.

Well, don't zen out too far because we've got to record a podcast, and I don't want to just ask you

for an opinion on the ballgame and get the sound of a whale and a gong being hit softly in the background. Can you start us off

with a whale? On this podcast we're going to be talking about the Great Sea. We're going to be

talking about dark packed and we're going to be talking about a fun little word game with a marker

board.

What's it called, Tom?

I think I did quite well to remember two of the names off the top of my head, frankly.

The last game is Type Set.

Well, it kind of gives us a nice little arc to the podcast.

Great C, Dark Packed, Type Set, you know?

It's like very staccato and aggressive.
