Roll over Picasso. We review Waggle Dance, Praetor and Dice Brewing. Each game uses dice in a fun, creative way: to make honey, to build Hadrian's wall and to make beer. We also receive a visit from listener Jay Bartelt for a special in-person Game Sommelier segment.

Let us know if (when?) you find one:

Not a mistake but an oversight: it is a crime I failed to mention the great custom dice that come with Waggle Dance. The ones are bees and the pips are little hexagons. Awesome!
