Hey folks this is Tom Vassal and welcome to another classic episode of the

Dice Star. We've done one of these in a while but we do them occasionally

where we post an older episode with commentary on it.

Usually when just things are super busy, we try to get an episode out every week,

and so this is the episode for the week.

I like to thank many of you for your emails and such. I got emails from many people regarding

the untimely death of my unborn child Sunny. She was seven months along and we really, she

was about to be born in January but she

passed away just last week the day before Thanksgiving in America and so I

appreciate all those of you who sent me words and that was very kind of all of you. Well let's take a

look at this episode it's an older episode in fact it's six over six years old and

I really like these kind of episodes because in this kind of episode we're looking this

one I look forward to the year 2006 and I asked a whole bunch of other people to look

forward with me.

And honestly, our predictions were so horrible and so bad, really, that this is something

I don't do as often anymore because you really can't predict the games.

In fact, listen to the games that we talk about and see if the games that we talk about were the big hits of 2006.

I'll have some more commentary when the episode's over. Let's get to it.

Dice Tower episode 33. 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
