At The Table with The Dice Tower - Spiel Utopia

November 3, 2026 · 1 h 6 min

Show notes

Eric has been to a local game convention, and Tom and Julie are back from Essen, and we all have stories to tell. We discuss how to reward game teachers, how Spiel's layout has improved, what games people ran for in Germany, and how much Döner Kabab Tom ate. Plus, we returned with a new batch of Roses, Thorns, and Hula Hoops.
