Hello everybody and welcome to a very special 73rd episode of the Shut Up and Sit Down podcast.

A podcast all about board games, card games, all the games that can be played on a table

on the floor on a balcony in a gazebo on by the side of a pool on a banister.

That sounds improbable and this episode we're talking about the very best ones.

I'm wearing my tuxedo. Matthew Lee's opposite me is wearing suspenders to hold up my trousers.

I'm Quentin Smith. I should have said my own name.

And we have Paul Dean over in America. What are you wearing Paul?

Wow. I'm wearing a green top that has a picture of a bear on and some black jeans that have a hole in the knee.

Whoa, this is a family show, Paul. Please calm it.

So sorry.

But also that is improper dress for the event that is about to take place.

So every year the members of the Shut Up and Sit Down for I say every year as if this is an ancient tradition.

They did it. It's time in Montmauri.

They did it last year. I say they. It was a forum user who goes by the name of CLG 6000.

Who knows what is real name is.

All members of the Shut Up and Sit Down forum vote on various awards because, frankly,

you know, the members of the Shut Up and Sit Down editorial team are telling people what board games to buy for 365 days a year.

Just once. Just once, guys, we can listen to what other people have to say and then announce whether they are right or wrong in their opinion.

Great. This is going to go well.

Let's see into that second.

It is indeed. Honestly, though, a huge thanks to everyone who voted.

But I can say that because I voted.
