Tom joins Suzanne and Mandi for this episode as they discuss Clever Cubed, Sheepy Time, Similo Animals, Keystone North America, Rival Networks, and Cloud City. The trio wraps up with a Game Pie full of Klemens Franz art.
Walker's got this friend with a problem--not Walker, no not at all, a friend, you see, his name is... Bike Docker... and Bike has this problem that he judges a game by its cover art. Mike I mean Bike is so blinded by his prejudice that it causes him to rag on games like El Grande or GMT's entire catalog just because the cover doesn't appeal to his sensibilities. Luckily, there are enlightened people like Mike Walker to guide those like Bike Docker.

In this OSCS extra, Jason flies solo and follows up on the most recent project update about the narrative of Frosthaven. Jason explains, point by point, why Isaac Childres was correct to seek out cultural consulting, and how a proper understanding of it can benefit any and all gamers who want to play.
This is the audio version of a video episode of Shelf Stories. It is highly, highly recommended to watch the video version because it contains many visual elements. However, some people like audio, so here it is. Please listen to this episode before you listen to my interview with Isaac Childres, upcoming in the OSCS feed.

In this cuddly 141st episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down podcast, we’re taking a breather with a brew, and a couple of gentle games with cosy, cosy themes! We’re (k)notting our whats with The Whatnot Cabinet, trailing fairies in Fairy Trails, and… doing something else unusual in Herbaceous!
Ambie and Crystal talk about Escape Tales: Low Memory, Escape Tales: Children of Wyrmwoods, and Stay Cool. We then talk about board games that use a digital app and what we think about them.
We played a double feature of legacy games for Cinco de Ocho Dos, which got us thinking about how our thoughts on legacy mechanics might have changed since the heady days of young Board Game Barrage. Before we open that box, we talk about Bonfire, Nidavellir, and The King's Dilemma.
