Welcome to the Dice Tower, a podcast all about board and card games and the people who play them.

This episode number 22 is part of our classic series and was originally aired on October 26, 2005. In this show we'll be talking about our top 10 auction

games from that year. And now here's your host, Tom Vassal.

Well welcome this is Tom Vassal, and it's been a while since I put out a classic episode.

I've been kind of caught up in the videos and I think that's going to continue for a while.

However, I'll try to keep pumping these out at some kind of decent rate.

We'll see.

I guess exciting news if you haven't yet checked them out go check out the 2008 Dice Tower

gaming awards go check them out and they're on the website at www the

dice tower

dot com but you're here to talk about episode 22 which is we did a couple things in this

episode so one of the things we did in this episode and I did it a few times after and I won't do it again

was the fact that we did a split top ten list

uh... right talk about one thing auction games in particular

and jot talked about another thing with war games and

i decided that sense that that's kind of confusing and so I'd rather just have

one topic for the the theme of the show so anyway we'll get back we'll get into the show

now but man I'll tell you in this this show kind

of cemented part of the fact that I was the straight man which isn't necessarily true in

real life i'm i usually joe is was more the straight man and I was the funny guy, but on the show I was a straight man and Joe sure played it up in this episode.

I would say a good 20% of things he said here were simply just to rile me up.

Go ahead and listen.
