On this machiavellian episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt have a chatter about even more curiosities picked up from Essen! First up is Power Vacuum - a diplomatic trick-taker where you play as fascist toasters - followed by Beyond The Horizon, a reimagining of 2020’s Beyond The Sun. Finally, a little beachfront chat about Seaside - a game that’s got Matt’s favourite component of all: “A Bag”
Have a great weekend, everybody!

0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to this very special episode of the Shut Up and Sit Down podcast, a podcast about board games, board games and board games. |
0:19.3 | Airhorn, Airhorn, Airhorn, Airhorn, Air horn, air horn, air horn. I'm joined today by |
0:23.6 | Matt Lee's. Hello. Those imaginary air horns have really gotten into my ears and shaking up my brain |
0:29.4 | and away I'm not comfortable about it. Every time you say the word air horn, I hear at least one air horn. |

1:33.9 | I would play the living daylights out of the game, but it was for early household appliances. |
