There are many ways that we can accidentally contribute to gatekeeping in the hobby - pushing those who want to embrace it away. Whether it's to those outside, or even, bizarrely, to those already in, we break down the subtle (and unsubtle) ways we do it, whether or not we mean to. Before we find the keymaster, we talk about San Marco, Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion, and Ghosts of Christmas.

Matthew has gone strange. This is evident in this week's episode. Also the most impressive Listener round of all time. This Game is Broken is a comedy board game panel show with Matthew Jude, Dave Luza, Paula Deming, Nick Murphy and Mike Murphy. We play a lot of nonsense games full of role playing and trivia as well as other fun stuff which can be found at the links below.
This Game is Broken is eternally thankful to our Sponsors Restoration Games Find them at https://restorationgames.com/
Ryan Laukat, designer of Sleeping Gods, talks about designing open world games.
Sleeping Gods is a phenomenal example of how a board game can pull off the open world experience, and we do a deep dive into basically every aspect of its design. I’ve also been working on an open world game of my own over the last couple years, so we get into the ways we overcame similar issues.
---AUDIO DISCLAIMER--- Let's face it in our earlier episodes our audio isn't up to scratch (it gets better we promise)
With plenty of games hitting the table the group returns for another episode of Whose Turn Is It Anyway? where our players crawl out of their cryo pods onboard the thematic ship Nemesis
FIRST PLAYER: JP OTHER PLAYERS: Kerley, Adrian & Davey
OVERVIEW In this episode "First Player" JP is joined by our other player Kerley and our new players Adrian & Davey (James) where we put on our space suits and do a deep dive onboard Nemesis published by Awaken Realms. In this episode you'll learn:
- more about Adrian getting into the hobby through Pandemic (not the real one, the game) - more about Davey's obsession with collectable card games and causing many holes in his pockets - what the hell a Cantaloop is and why JP is excited about it as well as the upcoming new hotness that is Anunnaki: Dawn of the Gods - Our experiences with Nemesis and it's various base game expansions (Aftermath Characters, Carnomorphs & Void Seeders)
A tragedy of consuming media or goods is that sometimes, regardless of how diligent you are, you cannot keep up with new releases. The creators you love might keep putting out new products, and even a casual enthusiast of a given medium might be disappointed to learn that they missed out on an offering. What I'm trying to get at is that HOW DARE they make a new Macross tabletop game and NOT TELL MARK.

In this special episode Sarah and Adrian welcome back to the show, and the team - Def!! It's exciting to have him back after a brief hiatus and we certainly missed him. Def doesn't waste any time getting back into the swing of the tabletop talk as the crew discuss Fantasy Realms, the potential of the video game Elden Ring becoming a board game, Stonemaier's announcement of Viticulture World, and how much we love keeping stats. Don't forget our Sizzling Games: Adrian loved exploring the historical roots of Prague, Def has well and truly fallen down the COIN rabbit-hole, and Sarah has been increasing the difficulty of one of her favourite games.
In the Board Game Bracket we settle the last match-up, Eclipse: 2nd Ed vs Marvel Champions, before we cue up the next battle: On Mars v Gaia Project. To make sure your favourite goes through to the next round make sure you vote on our socials.
Finally, in Swear An Oath, Adrian got his Jaws of the Lion Party back together, Sarah played Railroad Ink with the "Pluckman" Dice, and Def - well, no one can remember what his last oath was. New oaths include 1862 (Adrian), The Smoky Valley (Sarah), and Perseverance (Def).

In this semi-cooperative episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down podcast, Tom and Matt are talking about two very unusual games! First up is Voices In My Head's handsome-man-sentencing, followed by a small course of Decorum; a passive-aggressive living simulator. We also chat a few nice words about SHUX (and the carpets within) as well as Matt’s review of the Quacks expansion.
It doesn't quite work the same, but what do you expect when Neilan's not present? Speaking of presents, it's Mark's birthday so the rest of the crew celebrate with a parade of (don't call them hot) questions, where they invent expansions, and save the planet. Before we get older, we talk about Time Barons, and The Key: Sabotage at Lucky Llama Land.
