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.

| 0:33.5 | I've been meaning to do this, but now we're finally on an audio medium. Kylie, who is from the north of England, if you could just open that up and read what it says on the piece of paper, that would be great. |
| 0:45.0 | You know nothing, Matt Lee's. |
| 0:47.4 | That's great. |
| 0:48.6 | I think you've just gone against our bullying contract for both of us at the same time. |
| 0:54.3 | So I haven't actually passed around that documentation yet, but I will be doing. |
| 0:57.6 | And I will be expecting a resignation letter by the end of the day. |
| 1:00.7 | I mean, we've had Kylie, like you say, on the streaming review, |
| 1:02.9 | I was expecting more people to be excited that she's from the north of England. |
| 1:06.8 | I'm from the north of England as well, you know. |
| 1:08.6 | But she's properly from the north. |
| 1:10.0 | You know, Matt's from the Midlands. |
| 1:14.5 | Cheshire is not the Midlands. |
| 1:16.8 | See, this is the nonsense thing about the UK. |
| 1:19.4 | It's like, it doesn't matter how far from the north. |
