About this episode

In this episode, Matt and Tom engage in a series of violent board game reviews to determine the ultimate board game.

On this VIOLENT episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Matt and Tom engage in gladiatorial combat to finally decide who is the ULTIMATE BOARD-BOY! We begin our gauntlet with a bout of ‘Neko Syndicate’ - a BLOODY game of cats making sushi deliveries in a sort of tableau-building pyramid! It’s nasty stuff . Round 2 threatens an EXPLOSIVE END in ‘Bombusters’ - a co-operative family game where various anthropomorphised rabbits deal with increasingly complicated explosives. Red wire? Yellow wire? Either way? Prepare for an absolutely brutal listening experience. Then, the knockout punch! ‘Off With Their Heads!’ is our grand finale, and has you rolling* (punches), writing (wills)... and playing (cards)? Sounds peaceful, yeah? Well it’s only got a flippin’ GUILLOTINE in the title!! It’s going to be an utter casserole. Have a great week, everybody! Timestamps: 02:06 - Neko Syndicate 14:34 - Bombusters 24:12 - Off With Their Heads! *There’s no actual rolling, but that can be our little secret.
