We have a look at a game that is up for a dice tower award for "Game of the Year by a Small Publisher" First we look at a few games we've played recently : Quadropolis (00:30) City of Iron (08:00) Merchants and Merauders (17:30) Red Dragon Inn (25:10) Then we have a look back at Thunderstone Advance (29:00) - does it still hold up being one of the first deck builders? Finally we look at Champions of Midgard - theme and components. Are we tired of vikings? Does this add anything to a worker placement genre? Are there any interesting mechanisms? Is there anything we would change? Don't forget to check out dicetower.com and click on the Awards link to view all the great games up for an award!

This episode we talk about Thunderstone Advance, one of the early deckbuilders. How does this game compare to the grandaddy of deckbuilders, Dominion? What about the Epic variant? Are there now too many cards to Thunderstone Advance? This game really has the corners switching changing strategies - the normal, card counting, strategic gray corner just plays this game for fun? The green and red corners developing strong complicated combos? While the group is usually very friendly about playing games, there is one strategy that was deployed by one of the corners that really irked the other players. Was he right or wrong? The corners themselves couldn't come up with an answer and are asking for you to help us settle the argument!  

This week we review the 2009 release Thunderstone, and what is considered by many to be its improvement, the 2012 released Thunderstone Advance.
