In a fit of fake unexplainable rage, we replaced Eric with a child. Kiwi, bP, and Paxton join around the table to sell dinosaurs for cash in what certainly won't end in a horrible horrible theme park accident and major motion picture. We played Tiny Epic Dinosaurs from Gamelyn Games and designed by Scott Almes. Paxton and Kiwi only go off track half a dozen times in the first ten minutes, so it should be good, but don't worry Eric will be back to 'keep us together' next time.

So depending on how you look at it, that means we're certainly on the darkest of all timelines. Any way ... Eric and Kiwi battle for supremacy in Dice Throne, designed by Nate Chatellier and Manny Trembley, published by Roxley games.
