#105 Waiter, There's a Points in My Salad

There are way too many ways to score and they all score the same and there's a fly in my soup and the old lady across from me swallowed the fly so now she has to swallow a cat for some reason.

#104 Game Elements We Trust With Our Lives

It's like a periodic table. Instead of the building blocks for all matter, you've got the building blocks for bad decisions (and sometimes good ones too!) I know this is the 500th deckbuilder you've tried this week, but maybe this will give you the high that Dominion once did way back in the day. Games we played: 4:51 - San Marco (2001, Alan R. Moon & Aaron Weissblum, Ravensburger AG) 9:59 - Loopin' Louie (1992, Masaru Aoiki & Carol Wiseley, Milton Bradley) 13:30 - Container (2026 og2007, Franz-Benno Delonge & Thomas Ewert & Kevin Nesbitt, Allplay) 19:44 - Sobek (2010, Bruno Cathala, GameWorks) 100 games before you die: 23:44 - Twilight Struggle (2005, Ananda Gupta & Jason Matthews, GMT) https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/321471/100-tabletop-games-to-play-before-turning-100 Topic: 28:12 - Game Elements We Trust With Our Lives Songs: 100 Games to Play Before You Die by Michael, Tyler, Devon, and Josh of The Boise RainBeaus ROT by Bone Haus https://bonehaus.bandcamp.com/album/in-mourning Patreon https://www.patreon.com/c/ShelfStableCast All our socials https://linktr.ee/shelfstablecast

#103 Eric Martin Shouldn't Tell Me How to Put Games Away

#102 ft. Chris Whitpan of PAX & Ryan Hartman of Penny Arcade, Convention-al Wisdom

We figured this show was getting too easy to make. Why not do two shows at the same time? Chris Whitpan head of tabletop for PAX/ReedPop, and Ryan Hartman VP of Penny Arcade are here to share invaluable wisdom about conventions and how they work. Back to back, you say? Nah. Still too easy. Let's splice them in and out of each other. This is either a contender for the next Poddies (made up) or a trainwreck. Maybe it's both. You be the judge. 3:02 - Intro: Chris Whitpan 7:52 - Intro: Ryan Hartman 14:06 - We Have to Know! Chris Whitpan 17:29 - We Have to Know!
