On this out-of-this-world episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt have played two incredibly spicy space games that have got them all excited. First up is SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence; a game of discovering aliens and working out ‘what their deal is' that's absolutely fascinating and packed with CGE's specific, odd tendencies. Following that tall act is Sol: Last Days of a Star, a game that sits on the complete OTHER end of the spectrum. Pilot your ‘sundivers' away from a dying star, as you desperately eke out turns before everything is gone forever? The perfect way to spend a Thursday evening. Have a great weekend, everybody!

Knowing when to give up is a valuable skill. As children we are told to stick with painful and unpleasant things, and while that is often wise, sometimes it just results in more pain. Discerning the difference between choking down one's vegetables--good!--and pursuing a hobby merely for the sake of it--bad!--is a tricky bit of prudence that many adults can't quite seem to get. The notion of an "acquired taste" is somewhat related. Eating chocolate is something you can nail the first time and every time, so acquiring a taste for expensive Scotch whisky that tastes of dirt seems a little off. But sometimes... sometimes! You should try that thing again.AYURIS: Crisis at Steamfall 4m16s (Tom Stasiak, Beautiful Disaster Games, 2019)Games Played Last Week: -Just One 6m04s (Ludovic Roudy & Bruno Sautter, Repos Productions)-Isle of Skye: From Chieftain to King 9m06s (Andreas Pelikan & Alexander Pfister, Lookout Games, 2015)-Up Front 10m49s (Courtney F.

The Intelligame Podcast is back, and this time we're taking on our noun-iest topic ever: food. This episode Josh interviews Sylvie Dao, the founder of a brand new non-profit called Player Vs. Hunger.

This episode's Director's Cut slides back in time to discuss delayed gratification and the benefits of long-term planning by discussing the sci-fi board game Sol: Last Days of a Star. Finally, the game recommendation throws players in a hectic kitchen with Team17's couch co-op game Overcooked. Learn more about Player vs. Hunger at http://playervshunger.org.
