I'm Eric Summerer, and joining me now, the turkey to my pumpkin pie.

Here's Tom Vassel.

All righty, I'm Tom Vassel.

And I'm Eric Summerer and apparently very hungry. Well, yes. I'm not really sure. Your analogies sometimes just don't make sense at all. Well, you know, I just had food on the brain and I had to come up with something. You were obviously the turkey. Yeah, thanks. I appreciate that. But I had to come up with something for me. I like pumpkin pie. I was going to go with spiced apple rings, but I thought that might be too obscure. You know, turkeys are a very difficult thing to find here in Korea. Really? You can get them, but they're about 60 bucks. Wow. Which is pretty hefty for a turkey. Yeah, so what do you guys do? We get turkeys. Nice.

You have to have turkey at Thanksgiving. Got a splurge. I know some soldiers. We invite them over. Cool. They can get turkeys a lot easier than I can. But let's see. Lots of things going on. If you're this is your first time with us, welcome to the Dice Tower where we talk about all kinds of board games and card games here. I have a new game Just came in the mail today called

Jurassic to the Dice Tower where we talk about all kinds of board games and card games here. I have a new

game just came in the mail today called Jurassic Wars. It's about dinosaurs fighting one another.

It looks like it's just a really simple dice game, one that I might not even give a second look,

except for the name. You know, Jurassic Wars,

that just sounds good. It does. And, you know, that's one of the things I've been talking about lately is just a game has to sound interesting. I have piles of new games that I'm, you know,

burning through. And the games that don't sound interesting aren't getting played as quickly.

Right, they go to the bottom of the pile.

It's just how it works.

If you want people to play a game, you've got to give a good theme to it.
