- S4E5: Canals & Camels – Tales of Bruges & Through the Desert
In this episode, we answer the two-part question, "What's the most random location you've played a board game in, and what location would you most love to play a board game in?" from listener The Wellbeing Gamer (@thewellbeinggamer). Then, we discuss our recent plays the games Bruges and Through the Desert in our Tales from the Table, as well as whether A Feast for Odin will move on to face the trials of the JESTER'S GAMBIT (10x10 challenge) after our first few plays.

44 min - S3E12: One Year Anniversary – Replaying Our S1 10x10 Challenge
Note: We had a few microphone input issues during recording, so the audio quality is a bit off this time, but we hope you still enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed making it!
🎉 It’s our ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY of Dice Jesters! 🎉
To celebrate, we revisited every game from our Season One 10x10 Challenge. We looked back at why we originally chose to keep or trade each title — and for the ones we kept, we gave them another play to see if they still deserve a spot on our shelves.So after a full year, which games held strong, and which ones are getting the boot? Which titles will earn a place on the coveted Jesters’ Shelf of Good Cheer?
Games discussed: Azul, Dominion, Sagrada, San Juan, Century: Golem Edition, Carcassonne, Canvas, Space Base, Targi, and The Quacks of Quedlinburg.
