The Dice Men Cometh

Want to know what is truly dreadful? Well apparently it is London, but not just any London. Victorian London to be exact. As this week we discuss London Dread, a cooperative game the Dice Men played this week. And finally, Leon gets to reminisce about all the good things that happened to him in 2017! Good tv, yep! Good movies, sure! And good other stuff too. Plus we announce the winner of our Campaigner Magazine competition. And we should remind you to spend your money at Area 52. You know you want to!

And so as 2017 comes to a grinding halt it is time for the Dice Men to announce their top 10 games for the year! Each Dice Man has their own list so there is a lot of discussion around how wrong we all are, so please let us know your top games of the year and why the Dice Men got it so horribly wrong. For those of you who are interested, we also take a moment to talk all things Trent and let you all know he’s not dead. What will 2018 bring? Well, more games, more fun and more Dice Men! That is our promise to you! Thanks so much for your support this year, and thank you to Area 52 for their continued sponsorship!

Are you feeling gloomy? Well, normally the Dice Men would offer to cheer you up, but this week it’s all gloom and potential doom as we discussed the biggest box in gaming; Gloomhaven! Fitting a game this big, the Dice Men spend almost the whole show discussing our experience so far and it is a game that is right for you. In what little time we have after this talk, it’s back to our Secret Santa where each of us tries to find a perfect game for the other Dice Men. Do we succeed or fail miserably, you will have to listen to find out! As the year winds down we again thank Area 52 for their delicious sponsorship!

This week the Dicemen are just like Alchemists, turning a discussion about a game of the same name into radio gold. We think about what we might be missing by not going to Essen, and Leon, our resident film critic, enlightens us about Space Lions, and a documentary and game containing them.
