Description
Rivet Wars is a miniatures boardgame that springs forth from the warped imagination of Ted Terranova - set on a Dieselpunk world that never quite left World War I but with crazy technology like walking tanks, diesel powered armor, unicycled vehicles and armor plated cavalry!
Don't let the cute visuals fool you, it's a world full of angst, war-torn camaraderie and dark humor.
Rivet Wars is at its heart a strategy game, with both players deploying units each round to counter the threats set forth by their opponent and stay one tactical step ahead.
Heavily influenced by Ted's experience working on RTS games like Rise of Nations, players gather resources (bunkers and capture points) and use these to deploy streams of new units!
There's an ebb and flow on the tactical landscape and you can stock up surprises for your opponent to be unleashed even as he thinks he's winning!

Quotes (from this video)
- The Morrigan Game Factory though, what a great escape room game. It might it's it's definitely in my top escape room games.
- Noobs in Space is one of my favorite little games that's so unique and interesting. You have a deck of cards, you deal them out to everybody. Everybody has cards in their hand, and then you just solve those cards by saying things out loud, working together to play cards, and hopefully you solve it. It communication is the key. You can say anything you want, uh but you just can't show cards. And it's hilarious and fun. Very, very enjoyable.
- If you really like what we're doing here at the Dice Tower, then there are different ways to support Dice Tower.
- Tell your friends about the Dice Tower.

Quotes (from this video)
- I need you to give me a secret weapon something you need more support
- So I was thinking we got to do airplanes it would be great to do airplanes
- so I put the air range in there not being sure we would have air units right away
- Oh wait a minute like put it on the intersection between the grids and then you've really got True Flight where it's in a different a different plane of existence kind of
- It really makes a dense kind of combat feel which you know just makes the battlefield feel that much crazy
- you can upgrade put something better in there give them another kind of attack or effect or whatever and you can sort of customize on the fly right as you're deploying your troops into the on the board

Quotes (from this video)
- I think this is the first time I've ever done a response to a response in one of these segments but I wanted to talk a little bit more about the Minicon that I had proposed earlier
- I think it's better that I plan this out a little more in advance and give myself a little more breathing room so that all my other projects don't suffer you know that's one of the things doing this channel is trying to figure out how much can I really take on as effectively one person and I'm I'm learning those limits
- I found that feedback incredibly incredibly helpful and I think that's why I'm making the decision that I am now which hopefully will be a good one
