Summary

Sorry! Tom forgot to upload this episode of the podcast because he was on a plane. A plane! In the sky! How do you expect us to podcast under these conditions?!

On this dromedary episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt natter about a collection of - YOU GUESSED IT - boardgames.

Refasa! It’s a game about camels and irrigation and cards and POINTS! PlayProp! It’s a game of trying to get corks into a cup and screaming! Elfenroads! It’s a game about gently meandering down winding fantasy paths until an errant ‘cart orc’ ruins your day, or week, or possibly year.

Finally, the dynamic duo chat about another characterful couplet; Dracula vs Van Helsing - a two-player duelling game we'll review in a few DAYS time!

Thanks for listening everyone! Have a great week!

We're gonna be talking about a bunch of games.

We're gonna be talking about a game called Raffasa, a game of camels and water.

0:33.6

Ooh.

0:41.7

Boo.

0:43.1

Finally, we're going to be talking about Play Prop, a game of corks and cups and screaming, and Elfin Rhodes.

0:51.1

Alan Moon's earlier fling into the world of what if things doing lines on a map,

0:57.8

except this doesn't have any trains. I don't think anyone's doing lines in this one.

1:01.5

Some of these creatures look pretty sketchy.

1:05.5

It's an interesting tactic you've gone for here, Matt, you know, pitching the games

1:09.7

that we're going to talk about on this podcast in the complete wrong order, as far as I can tell, according to our little

1:14.8

notes here. But, you know, I'm into it. It's like a little jumbly grab bag that people can just

1:18.8

kind of, you know, dip into where they please. Yeah. I mean, say we're going to talk about them in that order. Well, you said, and finally. You said Anne finally, and then you said two games. It threw me for a loop.

1:30.4

That's the end of that list. It's the end of the end of the list section. I see. We haven't got

1:34.2

time to do any more of this, Tom. So let's just go to the, just do a jingle and go to the
