Hey there, Future Eric here.

Kicking things off with a bang.

You might notice that for the first 10 minutes or so of the show,

Tom sounds like he's talking in a long hallway.

That's because he selected the wrong mic input

on his computer, and we didn't realize it until we were

several minutes into the show. He fixes it, things get better, and we had intended possibly

to circle back, but then Tom had a flight to catch and we just we couldn't do it.

So I apologize for the somewhat wonky audio to start off the show, but it gets better pretty quickly.

Here's the show.

The Dice Tower, episode 624.

H is for hype. 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 recap the Dice Tower retreat with both old and new games played.

Plus, Jeff shows us the next generation of game-playing machines.

We answer questions about game library storage, making exclusive items not so exclusive,

and the merits of switching hands in a card game.

Then we continue our alphabetical journey

with our top 10 games that start with the letter H.

I'm Eric Sommerer,
