Hadn't heard that Vegetable Stock was becoming a DT Essential. Great news as I think it's an excellent filler but doesn't seem to be widely available

[@jacobhawk9311]

"Terrible name. Amazing Flea Circus would of been just fine." Tom's little knowing grin. * Chef's kiss *

[@KingMePlease3]

Great news on vegetable stock. It has been high on my wishlist and now I know I will be able to get it this year.

[@angelafortunato3866]

I enjoyed my play of Azul Master Chocolatier that I was able to participate in with Tom on the 2023 Dice Tower Cruise. Thanks again Tom!

[@brikov68]

Excellent news about Vegetable Stock. Now he needs to please work on getting Vabanque as a Dice Tower essential. He keeps saying how much fun it is just to torture me, I’m sure.

It's funny that Tom mentioned wanting a second edition of Mutiny. About a decade ago I was gaming at the Fantast Flight Game Center and Kevin Wilson was there playtesting the X-Files board game. While we played a game of that with him, he mentioned he was throwing ideas around for a second edition. 10 years on with no second edition tells us how that went, but it was at least for a time, something he was working on. At the time, he talked about it like it was what would be made after X-Files. Maybe poor sales on that killed it?

I need a video reviewing Tom's hats over the years

[@BoardGamesBricksHobbies]

Tiny Towns is such a pleasant little game, 9/10 from me! Arboretum is great too.

[@robscarpelli]

Like the new intro

[@XCM666]

Are you considering a retheme for Vegetable Stock? I think it looks uncomfortably close to Point Salad, which might hurt its marketing potential (the pun is equally good though).

[@blakwngbrd]

Arcane Wonders is working on new art for Vegetable Stock but keeping the veggie theme :)

[@uplift-yourdailypickup6424]

Gravwell has a 2nd edition. I would like to know how well that one rates.

[@user-hk5fo1nm9h]

That “cannibal pigmy” game is just super messed up, people were fine with that back then? What is the reprint called/about?

[@gianfranco4789]

I just ordered Vegetable Stock from Taiwan... I would have waited for the DT essential version if I knew :(

[@thedicetower]

Good news is you'll still have a great game and sooner. Thanks for wanting to support the Dice Tower Essentials though! (It would always make a good gift 😉)

[@jeremybodager2258]

I know this is the Look Back series and not the Week in Review, but what happened to the Week in Review?

[@thedicetower]

We haven't had reviews (or at least very many) due to travel. You'll see it again come Monday.

Vanished Planet was the absolute worst game I have ever played in the 40 years I have been playing board games! OMG, it was so bad. It's the only game I have ever purposely thrown in the trash.
