TDT # 287 - Best of 2012, Part 1
Tom, Eric, and host of others all join forces (like Voltron!) to give you the best of 2012. In this first half of the show, we give our thoughts on the 2012 as a whole, as well as the biggest news stories of the year. We talk about our biggest surprise, and our biggest disappointment. Everyone picks the game with the best components, the game with the best artwork, the worst game, the best card game, best party game, best kids game, and best family game. Lots of fun, and a Happy New Years to everyone!
TDT # 286 - Lucky Games
In this show, we talk about Zombicide, 2019: the Arctic, and Dungeon Command. We also answer a pile of questions, including why we don't talk much about print and play games, Carcassonne expansions, a good baseball game, and superhero games. We end the show talking about our top ten "lucky" games - games that have luck as a major mechanic.
TDT # 285 - Thrift Store Treasures
In this show, we take a look at Kemet, Pixel Tactics, King of Tokyo Power Up! and Noir. Geoff talks about cheating, Tom talks about how and when you should buy games for others for Christmas, and Brian examines Kremlin.

Whew! Another long episode in which we talk about recent games, such as Manhattan Project, Treehouse, Edo, Guidhall, and Courtier. We also answer quite a few user questions, where we talk about almost getting sued, why we keep expansion boxes, which side of Merchants of Venus is better, and what to do if you want to publish a game. Finally, we end the episode with our top ten "Games that Have Stood the Test of Time" - games that are just as relevant today as they were when they were published.
