This week's guest is the winner of the Kinderspiel des Jahres, Jens-Peter Schliemann. We talk about a divided Germany, designing games for children and The Game Inventors Studdio...but which games did he choose?
Shelley and I took a break from playing games at LeiriaCon to discuss our impressions of three of the titles we had a chance to peruse for at least 1 play. Take these with a grain of salt, but these were our impressions of
Beer and Bread by Scott Almes from Deep Print Games, Capstone Games, and Pegasus Spiele
Shinkansen: Zero Kei by Isra C. and Shei S. from Ludonova and Tesla Games
Garden Nation by Remi Saunier and Nathalie Saunier from Bombyx, Board Game Circus, and Maldito Games

In this ‘north of average’ episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down podcast, Tom and Ava are talking about three interesting, if a little boring, games. First up we have Panchayat and Kingsbridge - two games that don’t dazzle, but do ask interesting questions about what we recommend and why. We then have a chat about Skymines - a Pfister reimplementation that impresses!
Good storytelling isn't easy, and board games seem to struggle with it especially - which makes the ones that do pull it off, all the more memorable. We delve into the ways that games can engage us and create lasting experiences through stories. Before we spin a yarn, we talk about Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and Artisans of Splendent Vale.

"Boglins were a series of toy puppets distributed by Mattel. They were created by Tim Clarke, Maureen Trotto, and Larry Mass, and licensed by Seven Towns. The original run of Boglins was released in 1987, coinciding with a "creatures" craze that included Ghoulies, Critters, and Gremlins. Boglins were goblin-themed hand puppets made of flexible rubber and could be manipulated to represent speech and facial expressions."
