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

This episode is part of our classic series, Number 32, originally aired January 6th 2006. In this episode Joe and Tom give a joint review of

railroad tycoon, listen to an audio review by Walt O'Hara and get schooled in German pronunciation.

This classic episode is sponsored by Kaiju City, the game of monstrous monster combat. Back it now on kickstarter.com.

And now here's your host, Tom Vassal.

Well, hi holly folks, this is not your normal episode

because hey, it's summer and vacation has to happen for some folks somewhere.

So I'm here alone giving you this episode which is almost seven years old now, one of our classic

episodes.

Joe Stedman, my first co-host and I on the show so I'm not going to talk about it too much I just want to mention that's interesting to me that in this episode we talk about our top 10 game designers and that's something that Eric and I did just in the last

episode. So seven years difference there I suppose so you can compare the two lists and see what you think.

But without further ado let's get to the poor sound quality, but hopefully not so poor content of me and Joe.

Dice Tower 32. Welcome to the Dice Tower, a podcast about card games, war games, Euro games, miniatures,

but most of all, board games.

Your hosts are Tom Vassal, prolific board game reviewer, and Joe Steadman,

vocal war game enthusiast.

Tom and Joe all right this is Tom Basil and I'm Joe Stephen and we're a little bit less cold than we were last week because we got two heaters on us this time

So hopefully they won't run out of fuel slash electricity. Yeah, there you go. So, anyway, I guess today's date, which is, for us is January 3rd, January 4th.

I guess I can't keep my day straight.

January 4th, which is today's day, the big news should be that our show is being released,
