After a purgatorial thirteen months, Mark will be released from his Cain-like wanderings and allowed to repatriate to Kingston where he will get to be home. He figures that if Immanuel Kant got to be world famous before the age of global communications without leaving a 50 kilometer radius of his hometown, he has more than paid his dues. If anyone wants him to attend a function in the future, they had best plan on getting married and/or dying in close proximity to Mark's home.

On Episode 193 we recap the BGBBQ Award winners, discuss what happens when mini painting goes wrong, and we have some exciting news for the pop-culture community in Melbourne. When it comes to Sizzling some games: Mike visits a Planet Unknown, Dan saves the realm in Chronicles of Avel, Sarah tries not to inhale in Smoky Valley, and Adrian travels coast to coast on The Transcontinental.
In the Board Game Bracket we settle the last match-up, Too Many Bones vs Pandemic Legacy, before we cue up the next battle: Targi vs Anachrony. To make sure your favourite goes through to the next round make sure you vote on our socials.
Finally, in Swear An Oath, Dan might be unsettled about playing Unsettled but he did manage to go through the looking glass and Paint The Roses. Mike was on board with Monsters on Board, Sarah already got industrial in the Smoky Valley, and Adrian got philanthropic in Carnegie. New oaths include Silver and Gold (Dan), Viscounts of the West Kingdom (Mike), The Transcontinental (Sarah) and painting a purple phoenix (Adrian).
Sizzling Games: Planet Unknown (37:15), Chronicles of Avel (47:26), The Smoky Valley (58:55), The Transcontinental (1:08:35)

In this X-Ray-Slow-Motion episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom and Matt are talking about two games that couldn’t be more different. First up, we’ve got the alien hospitality of Space Station Phoenix - a eurogame where you destroy your own worker placement spaces! And secondly, we’re talking Sniper Elite: The Board Game - a thematic hidden movement game where you destroy a submarine and also maybe some Nazis.
Ambie and Crystal discuss a couple games they played recently, including The Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-Earth and Colt Express. We then are joined by Matt, a patron of the show, to talk about what board games might be good to play at a wedding reception for people who don't want to dance!

It's easy to get lost in mechanical discussions of games, and forget to appreciate them as physical creations. There can be beauty in games, and we're here to get to the heart of it the only way we know, the one on one fight to the death that we call BGBBOB. Before we get skin deep, we talk about First Empires, Mille Fiori, and Foundations of Rome.

Opener: Lisbon Tram 28 Year in, year out, I care about the Spiel des Jahres...even though gamers here on BGG grumble about these awards. These are simpler games meant as ambassadors from our hobby to the general population. They're a significant part of the growth of boardgaming that we enjoy & appreciate. Then when those newbies want to take the next step in boardgaming, the Kenners are good for that. All in all, I think it's a great system. I'm not concerned about the heavy gamers--they can look to the DSP, the Golden Geeks, or other awards.
While the SdJs are meant to be lighter, more family-targeted games, the very best ones are capable of being played in two modes: friendly and shark-y. Or family-style and gamer-style. I think Carcassonne, Settlers, and Ticket to Ride are great examples of that, and there are others. The nominations and recommendations for the Spiel des Jahres and Kennerspiel des Jahres awards were announced last week...but not before I recorded an episode! Every year some number of other hobbyists who care about the SdJs make their guesses about what games will be on those lists. I like to follow along on those, sometimes making my own guesses. There was some speculation about these games on the BGTG Discord server, too (come join us!). So this episode is kind of foolish, but I did it anyway. I recorded my rundown and commentary about the games people thought MIGHT be nominated for the SdJ and Kenner awards. Then I went back and recorded a shorter addendum since the actual nominees and other recommended titles had been announced after my first recording. You'll hear that the guesses managed to include all of the final nominees, though there were several other contenders that weren't named by the jury. Closer: Games should accelerate to the end. Or, at the very least, they shouldn't slow down! -Mark
Today the legendary board and miniatures game reviewer, Joel Eddy of Drive Thru Games, opens the show with a guest announce and we couldn’t ask for better! Jamie and Don dive into a feature review of Golem from Cranio Creations. Tony T, wows the audience with his new man prowess in his world famous tabletop gaming news segment. And finally, the gang closes out the show with a Short Off-Topic Extravaganza in which they DO NOT talk about tabletop gaming but rather random off topic questions submitted by listeners include our favorite beer and cocktails, what we'd do with a time machine and how Tony prepares his final words of wisdom.
