Note: We had a few microphone input issues during recording, so the audio quality is a bit off this time, but we hope you still enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed making it!
🎉 It’s our ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY of Dice Jesters! 🎉
To celebrate, we revisited every game from our Season One 10x10 Challenge. We looked back at why we originally chose to keep or trade each title — and for the ones we kept, we gave them another play to see if they still deserve a spot on our shelves.So after a full year, which games held strong, and which ones are getting the boot? Which titles will earn a place on the coveted Jesters’ Shelf of Good Cheer?
Games discussed: Azul, Dominion, Sagrada, San Juan, Century: Golem Edition, Carcassonne, Canvas, Space Base, Targi, and The Quacks of Quedlinburg.

Join us for this week's 10x10 Challenge Spotlight as we explore Bora Bora by Stefan Feld!
After 10 intense and competitive plays, we’ve tested strategies, clashed over sacred spaces, and fought for dominance with our huts—and now we’re ready to talk about it. In this episode, we reflect on our journey with Bora Bora: from first impressions to how our gameplay evolved, and how it compares to other Feld designs we've grown to love.
Will this be a keep-it-to-play or trade-it-away? Listen to find out!

Join us this week for our 10x10 Challenge Spotlight on Underwater Cities! Over the course of 10 plays, our perspectives shifted, strategies emerged, and engine-building revelations surfaced. We break down how the game evolved for us, what tactics proved most effective, and whether Underwater Cities still holds water after repeated plays.
In our 10x10 Challenge Spotlight episodes, we share our initial impressions of the game on the table and that first play experience. Then, after 10 plays, we dive into a deeper discussion of our strategies, insights, and whether the game is a keep-it-to-play or a trade-it-away.

In this Dice Jesters 10x10 Challenge Spotlight, we plunge into the depths of Aquasphere, the underwater eurogame from Dave’s favorite designer, Stefan Feld. After 10 plays, what have we uncovered beneath the surface? Is the blend of programming, area control, and adorable octopods a hidden gem—or just murky waters?

We are currently working on wrapping up our first game of our Season 3 10x10 challenge, which we are quite excited about! In the meantime, we thought we would get out some lighthearted fun for you to enjoy.
In this episode, Julie shares a heartwarming tale of her newfound friendship with a goose - despite her bird aversion revealed in the Wingspan episode. Then, we bring our own Q&A dissecting Lupin's personality as a gamer.
While we do tie (most of) everything back into games, this is mostly a non-game-related episode. We hope you enjoy!
We will be back very soon with our new season of Dice Jesters, and we hope you will join us for that adventure!
-Dave & Julie
