Summary
Like the plot of every time-travel movie ever, Matt and Quinns have officially gone too far into the past and may never be the same again.
In this unusually raunchy edition of the acclaimed SU&SD podcast the pair discuss/complain about some titans of the 80's and 90's- Space Hulk, Blood Bowl and Magic: The Gathering. Meanwhile, Paul offers much more sedate comments on Scythe and Santorini.
Finally, the group discuss some folk games sent in by an anthropologist... which are played by monkeys. Join us for the critical analysis of Magic, but stick around for our description "Hair In Mouth Game".
Have you played any games from your childhood recently? And were they rubbish?
Scythe, Santorini, Magic: The Gathering, Blood Bowl, Space Hulk

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to episode 53 of The Shut Up and Sit Down Podcast. I'm Matt Lee, |
| 0:11.2 | joined by Quentin Smith. Hello, Matt Lee. And we've also got on the landline to another |
| 0:15.9 | country, Canada land, we have Paul Dean. Hello. What's this podcast about, Matthew? It's about |
| 0:21.6 | two men in England, awkwardly angling their adelaide, straddling a gigantic pile of boardgains |
| 0:28.1 | so we can be close to a microphone without wobbling it. It's a bit like playing Jenga with your |
| 0:31.5 | legs and I think it's probably good for your glutes and it's also about Paul Dean in Canada land. |
| 0:37.5 | Also, it's about boardgames and cardgames and actually in the second half of this podcast, |
| 0:42.6 | we as T's last time I'm going to be talking about old stuff which means ancient boardgames |
| 0:48.6 | which are anything released before 2011 which is like where history began. For us, for us. |
| 0:54.9 | Basically, yeah. So it's BP which is before pair, which basically anything before 2011 just goes |
| 1:03.3 | in the same bucket of being like well old. Yeah, we discovered this. The game comes at 2010 and then |
| 1:08.8 | I will be like when did that game come out like 1993 and then the designer goes no what's the matter |
| 1:14.0 | with you? So yeah, we're going to be talking about Magic the Gathering, we need to have a blood bowl, |
| 1:18.5 | we need to have a base Hulk. Yeah. And it's going to be interesting because I don't think we can |
| 1:22.9 | talk about any of those games without one of us breaking down and swearing. It's true and |
| 1:26.7 | actually we might actually end up talking about blood bowl a little bit more on the Darth Souls, |
| 1:30.9 | which is kind of another podcast that me and Quinn's do. Because frankly, we've been playing a lot |
| 1:35.2 | more of the digital version of blood bowl. There's a lot to talk about. So yeah, I think I can see |
| 1:40.9 | that fitting in a bit more there but we're going to touch on it here today. Certainly and then |
| 1:44.3 | at the very tail end of the podcast, you can look forward to more folk games of the month, fabulous |
| 1:50.6 | game. What are those pesky teachers getting up to this time? Mother to daughter. Yes, our current |
| 1:55.7 | striper folk games is games you play at your work and my god, people have been doing everything |
