Hello everybody and welcome to the Shut Up and Sit Down podcast, a podcast all about board games, card games, tabletop games, role-playing games, mind games.

I don't know why, but I almost said prison games there.

Well, there may be some games that feature prisons or are based in prisons.

I want to be clear we're not talking about games that are played in prisons.

Necessarily, maybe they have access to a large board game library.

I've never been to prison.

That's a future than I want to live in.

It also makes me feel better about employing you, intern Ben Winterton.

Hello.

It's just Ben and me, Quentin Smith, today.

In what I think we're going to be calling podcast number 99 and three quarters appendix a because we realize we have a lot of

games to talk about but we're still saving that 100th episode for shucks uh ben has to dash off and get

trains so we're going to rattle through this game list full steam Welcome aboard. I'm the conductor.

What's on the train?

It's board games.

Today we're going to be talking about Western Empires, a preposterously vast.

What is, was described to us as a 12-hour game.

I'm going to go on further and say it's a two-day game spanning 8,000 years of human history.

We're going to be talking about a big Kickstarter release called Cloud Spire from the people

who brought you the lovely gremlin-y RPG, Too Many Bones.

We're going to be talking about Skullc Hollow, which is a board game that asks,

what if Shadow of the Colossus happened on your table?
