It’s been over THREE YEARS since we uploaded a collection video, so we thought that a tour through Tom’s newer, shinier, more exciting selection of boardgames was due! What’s changed after several more years playing game after game, big and small? You’ll have to watch to find out…
Or just scroll on down through this big list of all the games! But we do think that the first option is at least a little bit more entertaining.

PAX East! Truly the highlight of everyone’s July!
For whatever reason, it’s taken us absolutely ages to get round to covering the board games that we played at PAX East – but better late than never! This is especially true in this pod right here, where we’ve got three hot servings of board game to ladle directly into the laps of our ravenous listenership. We’ve got a starter and dessert made of space – with Galileo Galilei and Moon Colony Bloodbath protecting a gooey fantasy center all made of Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship!
Have a great weekend, everybody!

It’s the return of the video podcast! As pioneers of the format, we felt a burden to perfect the ‘difficult second album’ – and we think the results speak for themselves. It’s a podcast, with video! Literally what more could you possibly ever want.
Tom and Matt have played a bundle of great games from South Korean publisher ‘Playte’ and whacked them all into a silly video. We hope you enjoy it!

On this scenic detour, Tom and Matt are chatting about RULES! What are they? Who made them?! And what do they want with my PIN number?!?
This is a companion podcast to the most recent video on the YouTube channel – ‘The Board Game With No Rules’ – and is a more loose and daft excursion into the wild world of rulesless games.

This is probably one of the most unique games that Shut Up & Sit Down has ever covered. It’s a bundle of components crammed into a box with an accompanying rulebook written entirely in an alien language.
Deciphering that, and playing the resulting game? It’s a wild rabbithole to go down, that your friends and family will be simultaneously impressed and confused by…

On this advanced episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt are once again settling into the pod-thrones to yap about “some games wot they have played”.
Nova Era challenges players to develop a healthy civilisation, 3 Chapters is a set collection AND trick taking AND drafting game all squished into one box, and Creature Caravan is a gentle ride through a terrifyingly large deck of cards.
There’s lots to like! Three whole games to like, in fact. Board games! Who knew?! Thanks for listening, everyone!
