thanks for your support the dice tower episode four eighty nine the best of The Best of five years ago, 2012. Oh, Welcome to the Dice Tower, a podcast about board games and card games and especially the people who play them.

On today's show, Tom and I kick off 2017 with a tale of betrayal, a look back at some 2016

statistics and an introduction to our 2017 fundraiser.

Plus we set the dial on the way back machine to 2012 with our top 10 games from five years ago.

I'm Eric Sommerer and here's your host the Nick Fury of board gaming.

Tom Vassal. I don't, you know, I don't know if I want to be Nick Fury. You can't, I mean you, you pull the whole Avengers team together really plus the

Avengers movie came out in 2012 so it fits thematically. Wow it's five years old now

huh can you believe it? Yeah, I can. I can. Because it does seem like it's a while. There's

been two other Avengers movies made if you count Captain America. Sure. And I mean I'm excited this new Spider-Man trailer. I don't know if you've seen

it yet for the new Spider-Man yet. There are so many superhero trailers to watch. I guess I

haven't kept up today.

Well folks, slight spoiler.

Skip ahead at 30 seconds if you skip trailer stuff.

But Iron Man is like a big part of the movie.

Really?

Yeah, I was really...

I mean at least that's the way the trailer made it out to be.

Like not just a bit character, but like a big part of the movie.

They just showed every scene he's in and that's it.

Oh, maybe, who knows knows he's in it for two

minutes and then that that's the whole trailer. All right spoiler's over anyway.
