Hello everybody, Quinn's here.

Before we get started with our live recording of the 83rd Shut Up and Sit Down podcast, a few things.

First off, we forgot to introduce ourselves.

So here we go.

My name is Quentin Smith. The deep bass voice

you're going to hear is Matt Lee's and the slightly higher pitched voice is Paul Dean. So that's

nice. Second, the live shut up and sit down dating game teased in Paul's intro of this podcast

featured so much running around that we didn't get a good recording of it.

So that got cut off the end of the cast, but it was basically us playing a card game,

a lovely card game called billionaire Banshee with the audience,

which is all about whether you would or wouldn't date very weird individuals.

Third, we recorded this podcast at the start of the enormous board game convention that is Gen Con,

so we hadn't actually played any sort of really new and exciting up-and-coming games yet.

So if you want to hear that, it's next week on podcast 84.

That's when we'll have our serious post-gencon podcast with so many amazing games.

If there's one podcast of ours you listen to this year, make it number 84.

We'll be talking about Gen 7, which is the sequel to Dead of Winter, which took the top of our heads off.

We're going to be talking about Nictophobia, a game played entirely blind and using touch.

The Estates, which is maybe the best auction game I've ever played.

Key Forge, Call of the Archons, a new card game from the designer of Magic the Gathering,

which has really put the cat among the pigeons design-wise.

Critical Mass, the best game of robots I've played in years.
