Peregrine and Julep will be so excited to hear their names from this…Peregrine especially since it is his 11th birthday today🎉! But they are still recovering from the cruise as well.
Also, happy to hear Eric will be sticking around for bgb. My parents told us it was illegal to drive with the dome light on. Only to find out its not, but I've continue the tall tale with my children due to it being super annoying.
I have a theory about why the -span games are getting ripped. Wingspan was an obvious huge success which had a clear intention end message to its design. It was a commercial hit too. Then not long after Wyrmspan hits, and even less time after that Finspan. I think it's feeling less and less about authenticity, especially given the name, and more about capitalizing on "hey, don't you love span games?!". I bet it would have gotten less teasing if it was a "different name" from the makers of wingspan.
18:24 So...Dicetower wants to encourage publishers to run their "cash cows" into the ground...annualizing old material into 'new' material. Ouch. Feels like the golden age of boardgames has caught up with the serialization of the movie and videogame business.
I'm not encouraging publishers to *only* do that, but Hans Im Gluck was not foolish to make as many Carcassonne expansions and variations as they were profitably able to through the really to mid 2000s. It's not the first time we're seeing something like this.
Thanks Dice Tower! Glad to see Eric join Board Game Breakfast as a permanent cohost!
The tongue trick to prevent sneezing actually does work.
we just say "ahchoo" and something about the "ch" sound seems to release the need to sneeze... unless you've got something physical causing the tickle
I'm glad to see "I Teach Her She Wins" back..nice..
Thank you so much Mike!!!
yay, welcome back, Eric! I've missed you since the end of Dice Tower Tonight (I never seem to find time to look up the podcast).

Happy Birthday! I might be more tired today than I even was yesterday, haha. Good luck recovering!

Thus the tradition lives on to another generation!
It's this Jennifer! And I threw Brian in because he supports me supporting The Dice Tower. Looking forward to having Eric as a regular now!
Aww yeah, we know this Jennifer! Thank you, and through you, to Brian as well.
Yay, Eric! I have missed him.
Welcome Eric!
So glad to see Eric as a regular here now!
