b'In this episode of The State of Games, Dice is joined by Darrell Louder and TC Petty III for a nice, simple chat all about new games and old classics played during a four-day visit. The trio cover the pros and cons of six- and three-player Keyflower, how Tzolk'in might just make you want to flip a table, why Mercante is an underappreciated gem, and why The New Science may give you a new appreciation for spreadsheets. All this, plus X-Wing, BiSikle, VivaJava Dice and, of course, the full story behind Modern Art and how to use hobo pain to create a best-selling masterpiece.'
