About this episode

Tom and Matt discuss three games: The Great Sea, Dark Pact, and Typeset.

On this adjective-riddled* episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt are sorting through approximately one standard carry-on worth of cardboard luggage! Matt brings The Great Sea to the table - the latest Garphill excursion into ancient history . What’s in this bit of history? Mostly water, it seems. With boats on it! They’re like houses that float? You’ll get the hang of it. Dark Pact is our second game, and feels like a deckbuilder broke free of containment, and has been growing all manner of new limbs whilst we’re not looking. Essentially a race to break the game as fast as humanly possible, it’s gotten Tom rather perplexed . And finally - Typeset - a game designed by the monstrously talented folks at DVC Games. Just when you think you’ve seen everything in a word game, one comes along and gets you spelling ‘TOGWOF’. Have a great week, everybody! *Only some adjectives are present in this episode - and indeed all episodes - of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast.
