In this voyage of a Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Ava and Matt are sailing the high... skies... with Libertalia: Winds of Galecrest, and saving a small French town from disaster in Oltree. We've got pirates, we've got knights, and we've got more disagreements than you might expect on this dandy little pod. Enjoy!
Have a great weekend, everybody!

One more episode about BGGcon! Can you tell I was excited to return? During the con itself I recorded several daily mini-episodes with Greg Pettit (by the end they weren't so mini!). In those we talked about several of the games we played, though not all. If you want to see ALL of the games I played, they're posted on their own geeklist. Everyone knows I prefer lighter/shorter board & card games. Not exclusively, but that's my kind of game. It shows in my lists of games played. That's part of the reason I invited two other gamer-buddies onto this episode, since they are more willing to go after meatier euros. Though they, too, will play some older classics and/or lighter games. We played some of these together, but many were titles I didn't see...or actively avoided. You can sort of follow along with the discussion by flipping back & forth between their two geeklists with 5-star ratings for the games they played at BGGcon.
Brian Murray's list | Rick Byrens' list | (and Mark's list)One of the greatest things about taking part in this hobby, is seeing new and novel ideas bubble to the surface. We're looking at some our favourite recent innovations - stuff that makes us think, "Huh, why haven't we seen that before?" Before we do anything but imitate and iterate, we talk about Paint the Roses, and ISS Vanguard.

FIRST PLAYER: Rob
OTHER PLAYERS: Becky, Kerley & Adrian
OVERVIEW
In this weeks episode, Rob continues the torch of Niche Number 1's which we started all those episodes ago and poses a brand new set of questions to the group. In this episode you'll learn:
- Rob's thoughts on GRIDCON as he missed out on the expansion pack episode
- that not all heroes wear capes when Rob loses the tiniest boardgame component at a convention
- our group's first thoughts on ISS Vanguard as the Vanguardians of the Galaxy begin their space exploration
- which game is our favourite but we don't know why?
- what our favourite games are that never hit the table,
- which of the games we got rid of we regretted the most,
- our favourite game to lure non-gamers into the hobby,
- the game we were reluctant to play because of the box art that is now a favourite,
- what our favourite games are that puts us in a state of zen,
- our thoughts on a listener's question about Kickstarter regret and some of our thoughts on that subject.
