Summary
And flying solo, another episode of the Dice Tower!
The show has a slight change in format, and Sam once again can't make it to recording. We finish up our contest for Gifttrap and Twilight Imperium III, and start a new contest for Quest of the Dragonlords. Rick gives us the news, Moritz reviews a few games, and I answer a few questions. I give my top ten games for teaching English (ESL), and talk about a real life dice tower. Finally, I finish up the show with an interview with Zev Shlasinger, founder of Z-man games (Reef Encounter). We have the show available in .mp3 format, which you can download below by right clicking the link below, and selecting "save link as".

| 1:18.0 | For those you have been listening for a long time, we're going to be making a few changes in our format. The biggest is that the top 10 lists will not always be the centerpiece of our show. |
| 1:28.0 | In fact, today will be an example of that. |
| 1:30.0 | Because the top 10 list is becoming more, I guess the word would be varied or not varied, but maybe it's more specialized. |
| 1:41.0 | We didn't want to spend as much time on it and we want to get |
| 1:44.5 | a chance to get the interviews in on the show. We got an interview coming up with |
