about

We all have that one friend. They patiently wait while all six other players execute their pre-calculated turns, saying nothing... planning... nothing.

Then the dice pass to them now it's their time to shine.

So, they launch into a 20 minute story, holding the entire table hostage.

This is their song.

lyrics

It's Friday night and that means it's
Board Game Time
Everyone just sitting round
with their beer or wine
The dice go round and round and hand to hand
until it gets to you
and then things grind to a halt

There's time enough for talking when it's not your turn
There's time enough for talking when it's not your turn
Maybe tell that story when it's your time to burn
There's time enough for talking when it's not your turn

Oh we don't care what happened at work today
we don't care what you had for lunch
We all came here to roll some dice and play a game
It's not that we're not nice
we just want you to roll those dice
so please
oh please
just shut up and roll

There's time enough for talking when it's not your turn
There's time enough for talking when it's not your turn
Maybe tell that story when it's your time to burn
There's time enough for talking when it's not your turn

But right now
Shut up and roll
Shut up and roll
Shut up and roll
[ad infinitim]

*anguished scream*

That's the sound that we all make inside our heads
when you won't roll the dice
So I'm gonna ask
once more
real nice
Please just shut your mouth and roll the dice
so we can play this game
Oh please
just shut up and roll

There's time enough for talking when it's not your turn
There's time enough for talking when it's not your turn
Maybe tell that story when it's your time to burn
There's time enough for talking when it's not your turn

But right now
Shut up and roll
