Tom is always happy to have his family on camera. It was really nice to see a bit of that from Sam. :-)

Roy, we did get 5 min dungeon based on your earlier preview. we love it, it's 5 minutes of crazy. The variable player decks do add to the variety and theme. highly recommend

Strategically Thematic is one of the best contributor segments on Dice Tower. Just saying.

[sakuradraven]

15 pieces of flare. That was a labor of love. So many steps was there a lot of trial and error with it? looks wicked awesome!

[jazzeejax]

Still the best show in board gaming - great work Sam & contributors.

This episode Brian aka the latest retro and his wife were very nice, hope to see you again soon and good luck with the new house!

[johnwilder]

Not sure if it is what they were going for, probably because I was thinking about magicians, the latest retro reminded me a little of Penn and Teller. I am always amazed at how much people can communicate without saying anything.

Blood rage art looked incredible! Great job!

[bamabookwyrm]

I won!!! I Won!!! I WON!!! <insert happy dance here> Thanks to Jay Peak & to Cogwright Games for the cool contest. Can't wait to show off my flair!

@TheLatestRetro - Yeah it's pretty dumb when some people don't seem to know how to go about recommending games. I don't work at a store but the FIRST questions I always ask people is "What do you like" and "What have you played". If you jump straight into suggesting a game (especially Fluxx or Munchkins for that matter) then I automatically assume that they don't know anything about board games. As a black dude in the hobby I don't find it insulting at all, but I do find it hilarious when the same thing happens to me and people assume I know nothing about games.

So a lesson to people, ask the person what games they like and have played before recommending anything. Might avoid making yourself look kind of foolish with your suggestion.

Space alert is one of my favorite games, i totally agree with your description :)

[andrejespersen]

That blood rage Wall/Deco omg its just epic. Now i want one.

[coralinealgae]

I really liked Forrest Bower's segment. It's helpful to hear about the best games, but it's a lot of fun to hear about the tragically bad ones. Roll with the punches was good, too.

That Blood Rage art project is beyond my ability to make, but it came out really nice. The plastic bag trick worked like magic. Is that a wizard or a bard skill? lol

+1 for THEME!

[davedogge]

1:15 ^_^ Alex Milea get thee working on Games Workshops projects already. Also Jay Peak's Blood Rage stencil/paint spray board art was pretty tasty.

[TheCubeImage]

that blood rage flair is amazing. i can only dream of having one of my own hahaha. all that work.

[drphogg]

@Rob Oren I backed Rollet, and it didn't get funded. Fortunately it made it the next try. I think The Dice Tower video for it helped it fund the next go around. It's a fun game.

[olliemacfarlane]

Someone was masquerading as Forest Bower this week, hope he is back next week

[DanieleMazzoni]

My god, I received Lost as a present from a flea market... it is terrible. I used it as a source for prototype materials and at least the dharma metal coin in it is cool. :D

[hitithippo]

Jay Peak looks just like Carl Alzner from the Capitals.. GO CAPS!!
