Multi-Deck System Games! Canadian content! Kevin Bacon! So many digressions in an episode packed with so much culture it couldn't even fit in one of Vin Diesel's muscle shirts. We do, however, focus on games long enough to rhetorically ask--with several stress patterns--of David Thompson: who is this guy? As a note, during the time of the taping of this episode, David Thompson released five more excellent board games. Oh, sorry, I type slowly, make that six.

7 Wonders Architects is a quick-playing game of card drafting and empire building. Inspired by its wildly successful sibling (7 Wonders), Architects builds a different kind of fun - one that is open and approachable by a broader audience.
On Episode 192 we are joined by Designer and Developer, Drake Villareal. Drake talks about his recent move from California to Skopje in Macedonia, his new role at Final Frontier Games, and shares with us what projects he is currently working on including more Merchants Cove and a scoop on his next project! He also shares his insights into this week's Sizzling Games: burncycle, Empires of the Void II, and Perseverance: Castaway Chronicles.
In the Board Game Bracket we settle the last match-up, Barrage vs Raiders of the North Sea, before we cue up the next battle: Too Many Bones vs Pandemic Legacy. To make sure your favourite goes through to the next round make sure you vote on our socials.
Finally, in Swear An Oath, Conor didn't manage to get Nova or Ironheart to the table, Mitch started Aeon's End: Legacy of Gravehold with his daughter, and Def played 1960: The Making of the President. New oaths include Arcs (Def), play an online game that he's not working on (Drake), completing the first three levels of burncycle (Mitch), and Too Many Bones (Conor).

It doesn't happen as much as it does in other industries, but every so often the people at the top demand serialization. We're talking about sequels in board games, when they work, when they (super) don't, and what we'd like to see get the treatment. Before we get franchised, we talk about Next Station: London, Dawn of the Zeds (Third Edition), and Azul: Queen's Garden.

Ben Rosset, designer of The Search for Planet X, talks about how to design games based on real-life systems and processes. Ben has designed games based on aging cheese, brewing beer, finding planets, manufacturing board games, and many other themes that happen in the real world, so we have quite a bit to chat about.
On Mark's drive across Canada (the first time), he stopped in Drumheller, Alberta for some dinosaur tourism. It has a truly impressive nodosaur specimen. The nodosaur is a close relative of the ankylosaur, a key difference being the former's lack of a thagomizer, the club-like appendage at the end of an ankylosaur's tail. Mark bought a plastic ankylosaur as a souvenir. Its name is Angie. Perseverance doesn't have any ankylosaurs or nodosaurs. A shame.

In this apparently aquatic episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom, Ava, and Matt are talking about some suspiciously dry games! And spinners. And Twister.
First up is Khora: Rise of an Empire - the ultimate spreadsheet experience! Tom then rambles about Boonlake for a moment, before Ava takes us home with Founders of Teotihuacan; the game which we essentially forgot to have a discussion about.
Ambie and Crystal discuss a couple games they played recently, including Hidden Leaders and Get on Board: New York & London. We then reminisce about the past 6 years of Board Game Blitz and celebrate our 6 year podcast anniversary!
