The Dice Tower

Recorded live at Dice Tower Convention 2013, Tom and Eric - along with a host of others, take a look at the nominations and winners for the Dice Tower Awards for the year 2012.

We have a special guest on this show - causing us to give triple the amount of fun! Board games we've played recently - including The Duke and the Spiel des Jahres nominees (Qwixx, Augustus, and Hanabi). We also answer a lot of questions, and give our top ten "turkeys" - games that simply aren't as enjoyable as they once were.

We had so much to talk about from the Origins Game Fair that it filled up te entire episode. And then some. We talk about games we saw, publishers's new offerings, folks we met, and more! We also hear from Brian Counter, and a fantastic new song by Michael Rudmann.

In this show, we talk about a pile of expansions, Wasabi, Bang, and Antike Duellum. We answer a pile of questions - such as where the modern day boardgaming movement began, what we think about feeding people, and more! Finally, we end the show with our top ten deckbuilding games!

In this show, we talk about our board and card game collections. Are they too big? And Tom talks about how he chooses which games to "cull." Mary talks about gaming accessories, Tish about the Cult of the New, Brian about Crude, and Geoff about killing mice. Eric finally plays Monopoly Tropical Tycoon and Tom reviews Viticulture, along with several other games. We finish up with another tale of horror.
