Essen has been and gone but we've got to play many of the hot new releases at GRIDCON 3, a Gaming Rules run convention primarily focused on the playing of games rather than the commercial presence. We have a jam-packed expansion pack episode for you!!!
FIRST PLAYER: N/A OTHER PLAYERS: Adrian, JP, Davey & Kerley
OVERVIEW In this week's expansion pack, the group get together to chat about their experiences at GRIDCON 3. The convention based in the South West UK ran by Gaming Rules! In this episode you'll learn:
- Which games we've managed to play on each day and our initial thoughts - That Lacrimosa could do with a "Simply Red" expansion - What everyone's "Game of the Weekend" was - that even the fry up gets a review - how to navigate the bring & buy just like TKMaxx - how personal GRIDCON feels to attend (spoiler it's awesome)
Say what you want about the evils of filthy lucre, but I find it amazing how managers turn communitarian and high-minded when it comes to fair remuneration. "Don't you believe in the project?" "Aren't you committed to the team?" et al get deployed all the time when people want to, you know, get compensated for their work. One can't help but notice that racialized workers and women get subjected to such nonsense at a higher-than-average rate. Volunteerism is noble and good, but stiffing workers is not. When someone is trying to elide the difference, you can bet that they're up to something.

This week's guest is the head of Thunderworks Games and designer of Roll Player, Keith Matejka. We talk about digital game unionisation, Wisconsin and fantasy...but which games did he choose? Descent
Keystone North America is a card driven board game. Players are biologists tasked with assembling ecosystems by arranging organisms into the most optimal sequences possible. The challenge is balance.
In this 200th episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, the team sit down for a frankly unwieldy chat about the top 10 games we collectively reckon you should play.
