In this hungrily 144th episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down podcast, Quinns, Tom and Ava are locked in a room together! A week long gathering of your verifiably rowdy hosts kicked off with three cracking reprints of lovely older games, and then we all did a podcast about them!
We start with Big Daddy Kniz’s Royal Visit, move to Cornwall for Martin Wallace’s Tinner’s Trail before jumping across the pond for a steamboat race in Mississippi Queen!
Due to a live record, some of the trips and erms have been impossible to excise, so expect a slightly more chaotic pod than usual. We were very excited to be playing games together.

Ambie and Crystal discuss a couple games they've played recently, including Bilder, Cold Case: A Pinch of Murder, Cold Case: A Story to Die For, and Let's Make a Bus Route: The Dice Game. We then talk about some of our favorite games we've played together over the years.
Because making board games is hard, it's not enough just to have some solid mechanics - the best games have a production that coheres with the design. We look at some examples of games where production considerations (or lack thereof) have helped or hurt how they play. Before we executively produce, we talk about The King is Dead: Second Edition, Equinox, and Enchanted Plumes.

Titles, as Herr Doktor Doktor Vincent Diesel, esq. O.B.E. could tell you, are important things. They must be recorded for posterity, quite literally in the case of Dogberry: "But masters, remember that I am an ass, though it be not written down, yet forget not that I am an ass." Mark and Walker are bereft of such honorifics; "Gilded Ones" apparently only applies if you go the full gilt route, which sounds way too painful to endorse. Whether philosophers get any titles past "lovers of wisdom" is a matter of some controversy; Mark weighs in all the same.

Episode 112 - Bonfire, Hostage Negotiator, Aeon's End Legacy
On this episode Steve, Sarah and Dan discuss games that are meant to be played with kids, but are just as much fun with adults. Have you ever taken one of your child's games and played it without them? Ever watched kids playing a game and thought that it looked like fun? We share our Top 3 kids' games that you can play without them!!
In our Sizzling Games, Sarah has been rallying her gnomes to build a Bonfire, Steve has been having a blast as a budding mage in Aeon's End Legacy, and Dan has been rescuing hostages while moonlighting as a Hostage Negotiator.
We wrap up last week's Bracket Battle match-up (Teotihuacan vs Nemo's War), and we set up the next duel: Res Arcana vs Cartographers.
Finally, in Swear An Oath, Steve continues his adventure down the path of Uwe Rosenberg games by playing Hallertau. Sarah is continuing to play all of her unplayed games in 2020, while still working on her 10x10 Challenge. Meanwhile Dan is still trying to finish his first game of Mage Knight, while exploring the intricacies of Atlantis Rising. New oaths for the team are Remember Our Trip (Steve), Teotihuacan Custom Challenges (Dan), and in a charity gesture: "helping Dan finish Mage Knight" (Sarah).
