the dice tower episode 390.

Dumb names, cool names. Oh, Welcome to the Dice Tower, a podcast about board games and card games and

especially the people who play them. In this episode we have both a new segment from me and Tom and a new contributor, a tale of horror

and a tale of amazement, and segments from Jeff Engelstein, Brian Counter, Mark

Salinsky, and Zachary Strebeck.

Finally, we discuss what makes a good and bad name for a board game.

I'm Eric Sommerer, and here's your host, The Galavant to my Sid, Tom Vassal.

And with his noble Mike, the games he all did like, he's here to podcast Vasseline. How long did you work on that one? Like five seconds. Okay. I've enjoyed

that although I have not seen the latest episode. Galavant is is a lot of fun

so far. It is. that the tunes are done by the my

favorite one of my favorite composers in the business same guy that the little

mermaid and so Alan making I think yeah and it it's it's money python-esque yes quite so I've been enjoying it so far yeah I mean it's not I

don't think it's gonna ever go it's not gonna go down as a classic. But the tunes are catchy and I think his

name is Timothy Oddman's son, the guy who's playing the king, is doing a spectacular

job. Yes, yes, that's a lot of fun.

Anyhow, we're here to talk about board games.

My name is Tom Vassal.
