Summary

Recently, Quinns was tasked with hosting a 7 player game night, and rose to the challenge with Herculean vigour.

In this episode, Matt, Quinns and intern Kylie discuss his breathtaking efforts. That means talking about Watson & Holmes (03:00), Escape from the Aliens in Outer Space (12:14), and a little card game called Bourré (19:55). Incidentally, Bourré is probably the only time that SU&SD will ever crossover with the NBA. Afterwards, the group slims down for a chat about some 3 player games, namely Gùgōng (27:34) and Chinatown (38:30).

Finally, the team answers a quick reader mail asking what table is best for board gaming. Big or small? Square or circle? That's right! We are beyond parody.

Hello and welcome to the very 94th Shut Up and Sit Down podcast. The podcast that is

0:15.7

all about board games and the people who love them. I'm one such person who loves them,

0:19.9

my name is Matt Lee's joined as ever by Quentin Smith. Hello, Matt Lee's. And for the

0:23.8

first time, you may have bumped into her on streams or our reviews online. It's our

0:28.8

intern Kylie Row. Hello. How you doing, Kylie? I'm good, thank you. I've been

0:33.9

me to do this, but now we're finally on an audio medium. Kylie, who is from the north

0:38.9

of England, if you could just open that up and read what it says on the piece of paper,

0:42.7

that would be great. You know nothing, Matt Lee's. That's great. I think you've just gone

0:50.6

against our bullying contract for both of us at the same time. So I haven't actually

0:55.2

passed around that documentation yet, but I will be doing. And I will be expecting your

0:58.5

resignation letter by the end of the day. I mean, we've had Kylie, like you say on the

1:02.4

stream, I was expecting more people to be excited that she's from the north of England.

1:06.7

I'm from the north of England as well, you know, but she's properly from the north.

1:10.2

You know, Matt, Matt's from the Midlands. Oh, oh, she's not the Midlands. That's the

1:17.0

thing. This is the nonsense thing about the UK. It's like, doesn't matter how far from

1:20.5

the north, we have someone from Scotland here. They'll be like, you're not from the north.

1:23.7

Yeah. It's like, I think it's from Greenland then as well. It never ends. I would definitely

1:27.9

listen to a podcast of you two arguing about whether Matt is from the north or not. Why

1:32.5

are people from the north proud of being in from the north? I guess you have to be because

1:37.0

it's just not as good as the south in many regards, but then you kind of can't admit that.

1:41.1

I mean, I always enjoy when you're like driving on the motorway and you're just heading

1:46.0
