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!

0:14.4 | My name is Matt Lees and I'm joined by Tom Brewster. |
0:16.9 | Hi. |
0:18.2 | I'm ready to talk about some freaking board games, Matt. |
0:21.6 | You're gonna tell me what we're gonna talk about or what? |
0:23.6 | I'm glad you're ready because that's exactly what we're doing right now. |
0:27.6 | We're gonna be talking about a bunch of games. |
0:29.6 | We're gonna be talking about a game called Raffasa, a game of camels and water. |
0:33.6 | Ooh. |
0:34.6 | We're gonna be talking about Dracula versus Van Helsing, that classic Bat Lad versus a man who doesn't like Bat Lad. |
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 |
