Summary

In this preposterously 117th episode of the Shut Up and Sit Down podcast Quinns, Ava and Tom are going absolutely LIVE to the UK Games Expo, threatening to snarf endless pizza in Fort, crunch the numbers in 18Chesapeake, and do ‘Good Japanese Business’ in Yokohama. Then, in a secret less-than-live twist, they’ll yoko-yammer-on-about 5D Chess With Multiverse Time Travel for far too long.

Apologies for some occasionally crunchy audio at times on this one, and have a great weekend, everybody!

people talk because we have games to cover. And I'm going to start by talking about Fort from

0:48.8

later games. So Fort is a lovely new card game from the same publisher who brought you Root and Vast.

0:55.2

It's actually a new version of a game by Grant Rodiac called SPQF, which was about Romans,

1:00.1

who were animals trying to be the best Roman animals.

1:02.4

But now, Fort is about kids trying to be the best kids.

1:05.8

1:07.6

Well, this is a game about racing to build up your forts, because you're

all kids building forts. And that's going to get you points, but hopefully you're going

1:15.1

to get points along the way for little card combos that you'll hopefully be pulling off. Now,
