Other Roll & Writes/Draw & Draws Mentioned at the top of the show that we have played & reviewed:
This week's guest is designer of Undaunted and War Chest, David Thompson. We talk about growing up in the south, being in the air force and verisimilitude in games...but which games did he choose? Support the show here Dungeons and Dragons 13 Days El Grande 1754: Conquest – The French and Indian War War Chest
In this themeless episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Quinns and Tom are talking about two of the driest games that they’ve ever been smitten with. First up is the Austrian Rail Simulation of Imperial Steam, followed by a dessert of semi-colonial discover-em-up The Guild of Merchant Explorers. Enjoy!
With the middle of the year rapidly approaching, we've acquired our fair share of games that we're really itching to play. We talk about what's recently made its way into our collections that we just can't wait to get to the table. Before we break out the back scratchers, we talk about Ivanhoe, Freshwater Fly, Vindication, and Cryptid: Urban Legends.

Jesse Stacy, from Triceratops Games, discusses how to design drafting games. Jesse has been working on a drafting style game for a while, and we dive into the different types, how to keep a game moving, stacking other mechanisms, and more.
Gino Brancazio, from Tinkerbot Games, talks about the three stages of prototyping, and we discuss what you need to know depending on which stage you’re in.
Inquiring minds demand to know, and we, your humble servants, must perforce answer. Mark resists the urge to elaborate on Kant and Macross! Walker resists the siren call of nineties hip hop! Such feats of iron will are the least of what our curious and/or trolling listeners deserve. (It's the curious trolls that always get you in the end)

On this episode Mitch, Sarah, Conor and Def share their thoughts and experiences on crowdfunding. When it comes to table-talk Sarah has been getting her mage on again in Aeon's End: Legacy of Gravehold, Def has been recruiting and managing his meeples in Carnegie, and Conor has taken his Wordle-obsession to a new level in Letter Jam.
In the Board Game Bracket we settle the last match-up, Brass: Birmingham vs Eclipse: 2nd Dawn for the Galaxy, before we cue up the next battle: Wingspan vs Root. To make sure your favourite goes through to the next round make sure you vote on our socials.
Finally, in Swear An Oath, Mitch got murdered in Final Girl: Carnage at the Carnival, Conor started Arkham Horror LCG: The Edge of the Earth, Def couldn't convince the team to play a COIN game with him so played more Perseverance instead, and Sarah played the Mother's Day card and played Jaws of the Lion with her son. New oaths include Aeon's End: Legacy of Gravehold (Mitch), Fort (Conor), Space Hulk: Death Angel (Sarah), 1960: The Making of a President (Def).
