" " - Shut Up & Sit Down

Doctor Panic

In Doctor Panic, you are a surgical team from the most prestigious hospital in the area. Your goal: Work together as a team to save a patient who just arrived on a stretcher before time runs out!

To accomplish this, you need to perform a series of medical treatments that have been prepared before the game. One or more players serve as overseers — emergency room managers, as it were — and they give tasks to the other medical personnel on hand: find a combination of drugs in this batch of cards; figure out the dose you need to administer by consulting this chart; stitch up a wound by “stitching” on a game board with needle and thread; and so on. If you complete all of the treatments before the final heart attack on the soundtrack, you are victorious! If not, you’ll have to receive additional training…

Playing Knit Wit, players will first need to craft their own word categories using loops and spools that’ll combine maybe 2, 3 or even more other categories! Then, you must find playful answers that match as many categories as possible.

The more categories you match, the more points you score!

There are even buttons to grab for extra points, but you’d better be quick enough! Every point counts when victory only hangs by a thread!

In this tile-laying game, 2-5 players are chieftains of famous clans and want to build their kingdoms to score as many points as possible, but in each game only four of the sixteen scoring tiles will be scored.

Each game is different and leads to different tactics and strategies, but having enough money is useful no matter what else is going on. Managing that money can be tricky, though. Each turn, each player places two area tiles in front of them and sets the selling price for the tiles. Setting a high price is great, but only so long as someone actually pays the price because if no one opts to buy, then the seller must buy the tiles at the price they previously requested.

In the end, the player with the best kingdom, not the richest player, becomes the sovereign of the island.

After centuries of rigorous study in remote holy places and catacombs rank with pools of ancient magic I have attained the power of third sight, forged my sacred staff and bonded with my insightful and intelligent familiar.

We founded SU&SD with the aim of getting more people into board gaming. It turns out we’re rather good at that, but that there are LOADS of people on planet Earth. Just heaps of ‘em. So we’ve still got a long way to go. If you’re impressed by how Shut Up & Sit Down has … Read more

Just as entropy returns all living things to dust, the threat of unprofessionalism is always present, tugging away at the moral fibre of Team SU&SD. What starts one day with Quinns deciding not to shave could rapidly descend into Matt removing his trousers whenever his legs are out of shot, and before you know it … Read more

Quinns: Good morning board-babies! Pour yourself a mug of something hot and let me pop the very finest board gaming announcements off of the internet for you, like tokens from high-quality punchboard. It’s the Games News.

For want of anything else with a nice header image, our top story is the reveal of Pandemic: Iberia. Hot on the heels of the Pandemic: Reign of Cthulu announcement, Z-Man Games has sent word of yet another spin-off.

Pandemic: Iberia will transport the co-operative disease-battling game to 1848, with a host of changes to the game itself, including the chance distribute fresh water and build railways during your battle malaria and yellow fever. Because of course, you no longer have the option of chartering flights!

Quinns: In (almost!) five years of running Shut Up & Sit Down we’ve always put the game first. We’ve fretted about player counts and waxed lyrical about themes. We’ve snapped apart mechanics like so many Lego bricks. So today, I hope you guys will indulge me in putting something else first.

Look. At. This. Flipping. Box.

I mean that literally. Knit Wit, the new game from Pandemic creator Matt Leacock, is opened with a flip-top magnetic catch at one end. But we’re just getting started.
