Summary

Now Quinns is back from the UK Games Expo, we slid a microphone under the door of the con-tamination chamber to record a new podcast!

Paul's got questions about the sublime Welcome to the Dungeon, the prototype of Vlaada's Codenames and Quinns' performance at the UK Netrunner Nationals. But that's not all! Quinns is starved for company and wants to know about the games Paul's been playing: For the Crown and 7 Ronin, which both sound great. There's also some discussion of Knightmare Chess, mostly along the lines of "Why haven't we reviewed it yet?"

For curious international listeners, here's a clip of the UK's Knightmare game show. Enjoy that one.

Now if you'll excuse us, we're off to burn the mic.

Welcome to the Dungeon, Codenames, Android: Netrunner, For the Crown, 7 Ronin, Knightmare Chess

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the 29th Shut Up and Sit Down Podcast, which I had to think for a while
0:10.3	about which number it was and it's definitely the 29th Shut Up and Sit Down Podcast
0:13.6	about board games and card games and tabletop games and any games that you can play in your
0:18.4	house or not in your house or in a space that is appropriate for the kind of game that
0:23.7	you're playing, we'll cover anything. We don't care. We have no standards. I don't.
0:29.2	Quintin Smith, do you have any standards? No, just that the people I play these games with
0:34.8	are consenting adults and not children or animals. Who am I talking to? You must be Paul Deen,
0:39.6	the person I work with. Paul Deen, the child and animal that you work with.
0:44.5	Yes. Yeah. From American office. Who are you, your Quint? I've introduced you. Don't say anything.
0:51.2	Okay, what are you going to say? I was going to say it's been a good week for us, man. I was at the
0:55.6	UK board game x-bow this weekend, which is growing and growing. It's growing. It's out of control.
1:00.0	It's in it takes place in a hilton. It takes over the hilton, but that doesn't sound very
1:05.6	impressive. What you need to know is that it's like kind of the mother of all hiltons. There are no
1:09.6	less than three receptions, reception A, B and C. There's a swimming pool, which is next to the
1:15.5	breakfast area separated by a glass wall so you can watch people basically naked while you're
1:20.1	eating breakfast. It's very back and alien. This is a big leap because it used to be, when we
1:26.5	went three years ago, it was in a Masonic lodge. That is not a joke. Even down next year, it's growing
1:34.9	so much. They're renting out the proper Birmingham exhibition centre next to the hilton.
1:40.0	I was hugely impressed that the UK has now got a proper con for me to get excited about. Fantasy
1:46.0	point is there. There was all kinds of hot new games that had a little round up on the site on
1:50.3	Monday. Yes, some really impressive stuff. The thing is, it was kind of modest in size before,
1:56.5	because we don't have as big a scene in Britain do is as like the US or a bit of Europe.
