My #1 of the year is Inventors of the South Tigris. It's absolutely magnificent. Windmill Valley and Ezra and Nehemiah round out my top three. I thought this was a little bit of a down year from 2023 and 2022 for me, personally, but still managed to find some gems that will be all-time favourites for me.
Spent a couple of very enjoyable hours arranging the art in the Creature Caravan cards, figuring out how many of them connect to each other. Gorgeous (and super fun!) game.
FYI, both you and Zee are playing Explorers of Navoria wrong. During the gather phase you take tokens off deck. Unfortunately they failed to specify a cleanup step between explore and gather which would have made it more clear
Daitoshi? Did you learn the fame from the rulebook or a designer publisher teach you? After 3 hours of bumbling around and trying to figure it out we gave up. We were all very excited to play and then we were all very excited to box it up and have fun
We just worked through the rulebook and got it. It wasn't the simplest learn but I didn't find it egregious either. The weirdest part was probably grokking the mega machine. -Chris
I was wandering that as I read the comment, but then the musical transition to number 10 played and made me jump a little as it was much louder than the people...
Andromedas edge still my fav this year

Pirates of Maracaibo! So glad to see this as someone else's top game of the year!

Thank you all for this lists and video
I think it's Joey's quick magician fingers that hit the transition buttons so fast. He can't help that he has honed that lightning-quick dexterity. 😄
Tidal blades is so good!!
Harmonies is excellent, we play it regularly. I hope we get an expansion soon, I am ready for more cards and maps!
Woohoo Daitoshi ❤️ my favourite game so far from this year !
Not surprised Chris that you love Galileo. Great minds thinking alike!
This game is a holiday tradition: The Dice Tower makes me buy stuff.
#2! We are so honored! Thank you so so much!
So many great games
Forgot Ezra and Nehemia camed out this year. Absolutely fantastic game.
Camilla’s description of what you’re doing in nova Roma was fun
No Andromeda's Edge? That's personally my #1
Great video - lots of fun

Stephens should have been on to the top board game cover art video
How is the art on Explorers of Navoria NOT by Cole Wehrle? It looks so similar!
I’m here dying at Camila’s face after Wendy’s “…rough stuff” 💀 LOOOL 1:09:47
Hey Camilla who did you play as for your first campaign of TB 2?
I love Harmonies, and it’s funny, Camilla’s thoughts on it are exactly why I dislike Tiny Towns. Yet I don’t find Harmonies nearly as restrictive.
I thought pirates of maracaibo was an Essen 23 title? Great lists though! 👌
is River of Gold worth it for 2 player games?
Leviathan Wilds is one of my favorite games this year. It's super unique.
So few cross-overs. Interesting. I wonder if the next DT trio will have more.
Have any of you played Civolution yet?
Tune in today.

I wanted so much to like it. I'll have to try again
The music is very Christmasy!
This has been bugging me … can we not have the music 2x louder than the people talking please ?
Which part is the music too loud?
I was wandering that as I read the comment, but then the musical transition to number 10 played and made me jump a little as it was much louder than the people...
@@thedicetower The transition music was a bit louder than normal.
Okay, thanks for the heads up. I'm not sure why they would be louder than usual but we can look into it before today's Top 10. Thanks.
2:27 It was such an interesting decision to have a big black microphone in the middle of the DTEast logo!
Daitoshi seems... odd. Yay, let's destroy the environment?
Destroying the environment causes major setbacks to you, so you also have to invest in rebuilding the areas you're mining from. -Chris
how you 'hate" harmonies? 😕
