Top 10 games that give Bang for the Buck

In this show, Tom and Eric give a couple of character stereotypes, talk about the future of game publishing, and the horror of moving games. The Dice Tower gang give info and tips for Origins 2010, and Geoff eulogizes Marvin Gardner. Erik talks about D6 shooters, Giles about Traders of Carthage, and we finish up the show with the top ten games that give ‘bang for the buck’.

The Dice Tower is a podcast about BoardGames. Not your Monopoly and Checkers fare, but REAL boardgames. There are boardgames with real strategy, that are actually fun to play. The Dice Tower is the most listened to boardgame podcast in the world.

I do the interior segment pieces on the show. Eric Summerer does the show intro/outtro and is the co-host. He is a very talented voice artist himself, you can download some of the audiobooks he has narrated at Audible.com.

Tom Vasel is the show’s host. I have never encountered a more knowledgeable person concerning boardgames.

Give the show a listen, you might find a whole new hobby to explore!

Audiobook: The Silent Bullet – Ch 3: The Bacteriological Detective

Written by emiller on June 5, 2010 – 4:20 PM -

It’s an all new audiobook. The Silent Bullet, by Arthur B. Reeve.

Follow the adventures of Professor Craig Kennedy and his assistant Walter Jameson as they track down criminals scientifically.

From Wikipedia:
Arthur Benjamin Reeve (October 15, 1880 – August 9, 1936) was an American mystery writer. He is best known for creating the series character Professor Craig Kennedy, sometimes called “The American Sherlock Holmes,” and his Dr Watson-like sidekick Walter Jameson, a newspaper reporter, in eighteen detective novels. The bulk of Reeve’s fame is based on the 82 Craig Kennedy stories, published in Cosmopolitan magazine between 1910 and 1918. These were collected in book form; with the third collection, the short stories were stitched together into pseudo-novels. The 12-volume Craig Kennedy Stories came out in 1918; it reissued Reeve’s books-to-date as a matched set.

This Story is called The Bacteriological Detective. Typhoid stalks a family across the ocean all the way to New York, killing servents and family members along the way. Can Craig find out why before the beutiful heiress is the next victim? Is it simply fate or a diabolical plot by a nefarious criminal using germs to kill?

You can read the book yourself for free at
