Happy New Year!  Shelley and I talk about the two Bezier Games 2-player maps for Steam that we played this week - Alabama & Louisiana - along with a Finnish deduction game call Epäillyt, or Suspects, that listener Antti Koskinen was kind enough to send to us.  We end with a more formal Top Ten list that will appear in a different form on The Dice Tower.

Enjoy the episode, and the first full week of 2010.
