This is it... the finale of the Dukes of Dice podcast - and we're going out with a bang. There's so much in this episode. A secret surprise "cameo" that Alex arranged for Sean. A final Top 10 games of all time. The ultimate "Dukes Double-Take" going all the way back to episode 1. We have some of our best board game media friends and family share some parting words. And of course, we hear from the Guild. This has taken some effort to edit - mental blocks have kept Sean from putting this out there; if there's no final episode, then the podcast doesn't end. But... all good things come to an end. We love you all - duke ya later, everybody!
