The Dice Tower: Episode 43 - Top Ten “Overrated” Games

By Tom Vasel and Joe Steadman
March 22, 2006

Almost as good as a Cadbury Cream Egg, another episode of The Dice Tower!

In this episode, I review Pentago and Sam reviews Debate This!.  We have the usual board game news both from Rick Thornquist and Moritz Eggert, and discuss recently played games.  We answer several user questions - including one about our opinions on BGG’s new rating system.  To top everything off, we mention our top ten overrated games. Of course, we use the word “overrated” with tongue in cheek - they’re simply games we like less than most people.  We have the show available in the MP3 format.

Yuck!  I hate Cadbury Cream Eggs!  They are almost as bad as those funky marshmallow chicks. Posted by Thomas Pancoast on Mar 22, 2006 at 08:56 AM | #

Cadbury Cream Eggs and Marshmellow Peeps should top everyone’s most overrated candy list. Posted by Craig Massey on Mar 22, 2006 at 03:44 PM | #

Hmmmph! Both of those are on my top ten candy list. Which, at the risk of going off topic, is.. 1. Cadbury Cream Eggs 2. Double Dipped Nerds 3. Jelly Bellies (pear, peach, and plum especially - not that nasty butter popcorn garbage) 4. Peach Rings 5. Marshmellow Peeps 6. Those black licorice things with the white cream in the middle. 7. Jolly Ranchers 8. Now and Laters 9. Marshmellow Peanuts 10.  Flavored Tootsie Rolls Posted by Tom Vasel on Mar 23, 2006 at 07:11 AM | #

Stats from the April 2006 Harper’s Index: Estimated number of Marshmallow Peeps that will be consumed around Easter this month: 800,000,000 Estimated number of pigs who died to make them: 125,000 I’ll let you do the math yourself… Posted by W. Eric Martin on Mar 23, 2006 at 09:12 AM | #
