Phaethon:

The Dice Tower is the single best source for board game info. Tom is a champion of the hobby. Genuine, open, and hardworking. I get nostalgic and sad whenever one of the main voices on the show changes roles or moves on. For as long as Tom continues producing content, I'll be watching.

We hope this page was fun!

We're trying to make fun and different pages about the things we love, and help everyone keep discovering cool new things.
