The Dice Tower site seems really slow and I'm getting 404 errors.

Shocked Friedrich and End of the Triumvirate didn't make the three-player list. You boys need to get out more often!

China isn't on the list? I think you really need to get it to the table more often.

I just listened to this episode.

As a precursor to my post here, I've been listening to all the previous podcasts and have gotten up to Episode #120. I must say that Geoff Engelstein's Game Tech series is just terrific and a great addition to the show. Here's a guy that is 10x smarter than me and he presents stuff to where I can understand it and enjoy it.

As far as 3-player games, I wanted to add a few of my own that play especially well I have found:

Carcassonne with three players I have really enjoyed. Rumis, the Downfall of Pompeii, Lord of the Rings, Beowulf the Movie game (Kingdoms), and Last Night on Earth also play well with three players I've found.
