<p>Today, we focus on what designers should do when they've built a design on an existing game. How much borrowing is too much borrowing? We also look ahead to some upcoming events, share a new Tale of Boardgaming Horror, and run through our latest batch of Roses, Thorns, and Hula Hoops.</p> <p>00:49 - Tom's Apology</p> <p>01:25 - Dice Tower Cruise and Dice Tower East</p> <p>01:52 - Tom's Catan Update: Seafarers</p> <p>02:53 - Upcoming: Studio Move, Origins, Greece, College Visits</p> <p>03:55 - Building Your Game on an Existing Design</p> <p>32:41 - Tale of Boardgaming Horror</p> <p>39:33 - Roaring 20s</p> <p>43:42 - Mystery of the Abbey</p> <p>50:30 - CULTivate</p> <p>54:42 - Faraway</p> <p>57:42 - Nocturne</p> <p>1:01:25 - Wroth</p> <p>Questions?

<p>We kick off this episode with some chit-chat regarding the moving of Dice Tower HQ, some upcoming events, Tom's efforts to impress the chef at a Japanese restaurant, and the most played games at Dice Tower West. A listener question leads us to discuss the layout of rulebooks and how best to do so. We share a new Tale of Boardgaming Horror, and close the show with a typical wave of Roses, Thorns, and Hula Hoops.</p> <p>00:53 - Moving the Studio</p> <p>03:14 - Upcoming Events</p> <p>03:52 - Tom at Dinner</p> <p>07:26 - Most Played Games at Dice Tower West</p> <p>12:50 - Dice Tower East and Dice Tower Cruise</p> <p>13:23 - Rulebook Layout</p> <p>36:55 - Tale of Boardgaming Horror</p> <p>45:57 - Catan 6th Edition</p> <p>52:32 - Bad Apples</p> <p>58:00 - Sentient</p> <p>1:01:18 - Monkey Labs</p> <p>1:03:02 - Ostia</p> <p>1:05:58 - My Favorite Things</p> <p>Questions?

<p>This time, we are recording in person at Dice Tower West (with some new mics!). We talk specifics about our new-ish venue for DTW, and then get more general with a chat about our convention strategies and planning. The Tale of Boardgaming Horror is one for the ages, and we close the show with some Roses, Thorns, Hula Hoops, and Crossovers.</p> <p>00:47 - Dice Tower West: Back at the Westgate</p> <p>04:20 - Julie's Drive West</p> <p>08:35 - Eric at APAC</p> <p>09:41 - Tom at GAMA Expo and The Grand Canyon</p> <p>13:09 - Hot Games</p> <p>14:16 - Convention Strategy</p> <p>33:47 - Tale of Boardgaming Horror</p> <p>39:26 - Critter Kitchen</p> <p>44:29 - Spooktacular</p> <p>49:03 - Moon Colony Bloodbath</p> <p>51:42 - Galaxy Children Explorers</p> <p>56:09 - Lata</p> <p>Questions?
