In this acrimonious episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, it’s a Tom-And-Quinns-Knee-To-Knee Special! We’re talking about two games whilst incredibly close to each other in a quasi-live podcast experience! On this episode, we’re focusing our wrath on two cities in Rebuilding Seattle and Fire & Stone: Siege of Vienna 1683. They’re both games, and we’ve played them!
This month's classic episode is the first person to ever be hired by Google, Craig Silverstein. We talk about his love of games but also Google's impact on the world. Enjoy!
Look, I wasn't there, but my understanding is that Kellen got very mad about certain board game words and decided to change the course of the episode midstream. Which, you know, would be one thing, but I once had to hear about how mad Kellen was about the word "apricot", so it's just like every day with this guy. Before we get etymological, we talk about Splendor Duel, and Seize the Bean.

"Let us go then, you and I, When the board is spread out against the table Like a beast euthanized inside a stable; Let us go, through certain half-deserted tracks, The muttering attacks During restless nights of one-play bad games And sepia box lids with familiar names: Rules that follow like a tedious argument Of soporific intent To lead you to an overwhelming question ... Oh, do not ask, “What to play?” Let us go and have our say.
In the room the gamers come and stay Talking of Asmodee."
-The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
