"The only reason this game is popular, is because people like it!"
lol, that's some epic wisdom right there.
I really like Zee Garcia's inclusion as one of the "primary" dice tower guys. He is a good foil to the other two guys.
These 3 have developed such a great chemistry over the years. Hilarious stuff!
Honestly, one of the things I LOVE about this show is that each of them prepare so differently!!
I'm so glad that they haven't been forced to change that part of the format and are left to be individuals and interpret the lists differently.
It's great because: It usually results in a diverse list instead of 7+ list crossovers and that has me spending hours watching more of their videos watching reviews.
It's bad because: My wallet gets a bashing at the local games store hahahaha
Such a winning combination, these three!!
I like Sam's methodology for his list.
I agree with Zee. There are great solitaire games that people just turn their nose up to. Why is it weird to play a great solo card/board game but it's no problem to play a tablet/video game alone? I play with plenty of people but I do like solo games at times.
I totally agree. I mostly play solo games or games that are playable solo (it is almost a requirement for me nowdays whenever I am buying s new game) and I think they provide a completely different experience than a videogame (which I find fun to play as well).
I would further add that while it is perfectly fine to consider the social component that most board games provide one of the main reasons (or even THE reason) to play, it is neither the case for everybody nor the only possible way to enjoy the hobby.
I got 51st State Master Set and Tiny Epic Galaxies at Origins and they both have very engaging solo variants. I have also been playing Samurai Spirit solo and it is also highly recomended.
While I play on the tablet as well, and there are games like Sentinels of the Multiverse that are even better that way, I still like the physical experience of shuffling, rolling dice, moving miniatures (I am a huge miniature colector) and just looking at actual objects instead of just a screen. I don't think it has to be one or the other, but you can enjoy both.
Because good video games are so much better _games_, than what board games ever are.
Social interaction, people in the same room, over the same table, is what board games are good at. If I don't have that social interaction, even with one another person, there is no real reason why I would play an inferior game, when I can play a better one, and as a bonus have a far less hassle of setting up and cleaning the game.
"I spoke too soon, Samuel!" that had me in tears. That was one of your funniest videos ever. Loved It!
Zee is definitely the real star in this video. Hilarious.
"Box."
He's the star in every video.
I agree with Zee that a time limit of an hour hurts the game. The reason is that it is not a goal to for towards. At least earning 15 points is something that you can work towards while play until an hour is over is bad. A game should end because the players within the game result it in reaching a conclusion, and not some extent force causing the game to end.
20:30, I'm totally with Zee on this one. Points or dollars can be ACHIEVED, and so a victory is properly claimed. A time limit is arbitrary.
The thing is that unless the game is real-time or otherwise timed, the clock is not part of the game’s internal economy. Points, money and number of rounds all are. So yes, the method of just stopping after a while with an arbitrary time limit is artificial in a way that those other things are not.
I love the bickering! Makes these Top 10s all the more fun to watch!
Zee owns the live audience videos.
And once again, Blue Moon shows up on a list!! It will be really nice if we get a video (or 2 or 3) of Zee playing a couple of matches of this awesome game. There are just a few on youtube, we need more specially by someone that obviously appreciate the game.
Everytime he mentions that game the song starts going in my head...(Katie Lang)... It is on my, gotta play that sometime list.
After seeing a lot of videos from Dice Tower, watching this one, understanding the internal jokes, is just amazing the chemistry, Hope you made another one... almost five years people
This is one of my favorite Top 10 lists from the Dice Tower and here's why: This exchange illustrates perfectly how heavily hyped games that can be great, doesn't mean its great for everyone. Numerous times in this list I liked a game one of the trio proposed that was less appreciated by the other two. Clearly, there's a reason why any top 10 by the Dice Tower (or anyone else) seldom agrees with a people's choice list. This teaches me to play and buy what I like, despite what might be popular out there. Thanks guys!
This was maybe the best Top 10 you guys have ever done. I can't put my finger on why. There's a good energy in the room.
I enjoy Tabletop, and cant think of a game that I think they have ruined. I also don't get all the hate, since aren't they bringing people into the hobby. Watching that is what got me re interested.
Yeah, I don't know you would hate on something that brings interest to your hobby. Even when something is "bandwagon" that is still more eyes, more money, more interest on something you enjoy. So it, in general, isn't bad.
I think it's because TableTop doesn't do LOOOOONNNNGGGG games and only Zee doesn't like LOOOOONNNNGGGG games. Personally I have perchaeed several games BECAUSE I watched the game play on TableTop, whereas I have NOT purchased a number of games based on Dice Tower.
Yeah. I bought Nottingham BECAUSE TableTop made it look fun.
Yeah, I didn't understand what they were saying here at all. I stumbled into tabletop one day, and it is basically what got me into gaming. When I saw them play Sheriff, it went to the top of my wishlist. What did they do that in that episode that ruined it??? When I play I encourage people to play the roles and come up with silly reasons for what they are bringing in and whatnot.
you guys are really entertaining when you feed off the crowd's energy. this might be your best top ten list!
I was surprised Agricola didn't show up on Toms list
Probably because Caverna replaced it for him. But yeah, he still "likes" it.
i think is zee that hates agricola
Zee and Sam disliked it, I am fairly certain, but Tom liked it. Thus it could have been on Tom's list, but Caverna replaced Agricola for Tom.
It isn't 2013.
I just played Galaxy Trucker today for the first time, and it was a lot of chaotic fun.
45:15 Zee's "oh no... *hurk* I SPOKE TOO SOON SAMUEL!" will go in my Zee's Finest Moments Gallery :D
Carmen Sandiego really let herself go...
LMAO
I've finally found a video that makes me fall out of my chair laughing within ten minutes
They didn't predict how many crossover games they have like they usually do :P
I'm very surprised an audience member didn't say "Mage Knight" towards Sam or Tom because it's the fantasy adventure game that all other games in the genre hang posters of in their bedrooms, dreaming to be like it one day
Exactly!
I believe Tom gave a good review of Mage Knight, but to be honest I think he cooled off on it.

John Grayson ;
I'm with Zee... always played solitaire. It would be great IF I had a game group... BUT most of us don't have that many people to play games with. I agree with Sam... "Last Night on Earth" IS a great zombie game... I own all the expansions and find it a great game... I think I have never found a zombie game that was perfect, but I am hopeful. SAM... DUDE! "Tannhauser" is one of my top five games ever created! Try creating some new scenarios... use the boards from "Mansions of Madness" or "Gears of War" to expand the battles! OK, Tom... I'm with you for "Galaxy Trucker"... I get a kick from it and I have great fun with it. GREAT video! Love these live top tens.... continue to be cruel, and vicious... can't help but love it.
The reaction of the three to Eclipse was hilarious. Personally, Eclipse is currently my favorite game of all time. XD
I enjoy both The Dice Tower and Tabletop. No hating please! Both ignites my passion for games. Hope to see Tom on one of Tabletop's episode or vice-versa. Tom x Wil make it happen!!! 🤘🏼😅
With live top ten videos the energy is always just so high, I love it.
Sam "This Is How I Did My List" Healey
This is by far the funniest DT Top 10 list. So many moments where I burst out laughing... Thanks guys!
Honestly, I'm jumping ship and joining Sam's team because of his Codenames commentary. Spot on, God bless.
Ok Zee too, you guys were both brilliant in that takedown.
Nico Boggs Disagree with all three of you. Codenames is a brilliant design.
Agree with Zee, Claustrophobia is a great game and I think it and Descent can fit into the same collection as well as Level 7 [Omega Protocol], which I love too, since all three are varied enough to scratch different itches.
Top ten list are great and one day o one sweet day i will be at the dicetower confention all the way from the Netherlands;)
Possibly the most entertaining Top 10 list you have made!
I missed something. How did Tabletop screw up Sheriff of Nottingham?
It was the players, not the show.
@@kevinsullivan3448 What about them?
I seen quite a few games where the play time listed doesn't count the 3 hours to set up the the game. Once you get the game set up for experienced players it will probably take close to the advertised time.
I have Zee's problem of simple game, lots of little rules to teach in the game Smallworld. Simple area control concept but all the special powers make it difficult to teach or drags on first play as people read the cheat sheets. The game's length then makes it much less fun for the amount of depth involved.
This was my favorite top ten board game list ever. You guys did a great job live!
Watching this at the end of 2017, still one of your best top tens
The Zee/Sam back and forth on this skate really close to uncomfortable, but manage to stay in the realm of amazing.
Tom saying “ok, let’s move on” after zee and Sam’s picks is so funny.
Awesome title for a top ten for you guys!
This video was awesome. Best top 10 w/ you three in a LONG TIME.
Wish I was there in time. Hilarious list. If I went up, I would have said Advanced Civilization. Too long for Zee, too old for Tom, and too rude for Sam.
Sam is awesome. He constructed this list exactly how he was supposed to (as usual). Those other 2 jokers always base their lists off of gut feel, while generally accurate, still have missteps semi-regularly. Sam, however, keeps it real y'all.
Yes to Tannhauser...but only so I can buy the equipment cards as I've bought everything for it...darn you Sam...it's a great game, beautifully put together.
Agree with Zee. games officially ending after a time limit when everyone agrees to stop playing is artificial.
12:18 Sam says Thurn & Taxis has an interesting theme, yet it was number 8 on his "Worst themes" list 🤔
The title of this video alone made it a must watch for me.
The live audience made this one a lot of fun.
One of the funniest episodes ever. I don't even play boardgames much but I watch the Top 10s.
oh gosh that was great. :) keep top tens coming, pleas. :)
Love listening to you getting meta on these lists, keep up the good work guys!
What a fantastic session! I think Zee was about to rocket right out of his seat toward the end.
Great stuff all around, guys! Sam, thanks for spreading Tannhauser love!
As far as solo games go, I play them because otherwise I’d get next to NO playtime whatsoever.
another positive to eclipse: it comes with ALL THE TOOLS to make it a proper war game with a tiny modification to hex exploration (3s can go infinitely far and many ancient hex's are removed), so it can be played that way with little effort if the 'euro game' part doesn't work for you!
now I get why "flick em up" wasn't in the blender
I was hoping someone would cover it, I wanted another opinion, I am on the fence.
I was listening to this in the gym and two times I almost dropped the weights on myself, since I had to laugh so hard :D One of my favourite top 10's!
Another great Top Ten list guys! It's always fun to see the differences in taste you guys have from each other. I'm hoping my wife and I can make it to next year's Con!
One thing though... the potshots at TableTop are not only unnecessary... but are a bit low-class. Besides, it would probably be best to put a moratorium on casting shade on other channels' playthoughs until the memory fades a bit of the Dice Tower's absolutely embarrassing live play videos with Stephen and Rodney not so long ago...
That's clearly not what I said at all. Besides, why would they even need to give an example of something like that, much less point fingers (by name!) at a specific channel like Tabletop? Pretty sure every hobby gamer has had it happen at one time or another... we all know what they're talking about.
I realize that for whatever reason, it's pretty much expected for "serious" gamers to look down their noses at Tabletop... but the Dice Tower is pretty much the flagship for board game media, and they should be better than that. It comes across as talking out of both sides of their mouths to see Tom "defend" Tabletop in is Q&As (correctly pointing out the huge number of gamers Wil has brought into the hobby, for instance) and then see them take cheapshots in other videos (especially hypocritical ones like this one).
True... but I've never, EVER seen anything in a playthrough video as embarrassing or annoying as Jason's behavior during Dark Moon. Because of it, that was the first marathon playthrough vid that the Dice Tower has posted that I turned off and decided to not watch the rest of (I did watch the second part, though, and was nearly as annoyed with him in DoW).
Back to your original response... I do actually think it would have been better for them to use that as an example... they give Jason crap all the time, and "jokingly" bringing up Jason ruining Dark Moon wouldn't have seemed out of place at all (and would have shown people who didn't read Jason's apology on BGG that the Dice Tower peeps recognize the disaster that was).
However, the main thing is... I just HATE when UA-cam channels take shots at other channels. I'd like to think they didn't mean to "call out" Tabletop... but Sam having to point out "Sheriff of Nottingham, too!!!!" sure made it seem like shots fired. The last thing we need is stupid UA-cam drama between boardgame channels. Besides, I'm still holding out hope that Tom will someday be on Tabletop!
@@WarpedLord This is a very old comment, but can you tell me what happened during this playthrough? Im really interested, but just listening to you talk about it has got me cringing. I cant even imagine.
Okay, that was unexpectedly funny and interesting.
These live top 10s are always a blast :) and i completely agree with the last audience guy about two player variant of Tokaido. Such a mean, but fun way to play that otherwise zen game ;)
I first played on Board Game Arena. There is no zen. Those players are cutthroat!
prufrock1977 well, i kind of agree, that it can be cutthroat, but it just looks and the game flow feels zenny :)
Seriously, Hive is great. I stand by it.
Just never stand on a hive you might get stung!
The only reason this game is popular is because people like it.
- Zee Garcia
We love Codenames, but it's not a party game. Definitely best at 4 and 6. We play with strict rules that keep the game as a fun, serious, competetive game. 8 works as well, but there are better games for 7+ players. Also works well with 3 and 5 and 7 where you have just one person giving the clues, but not the best.
Why was that man BLEEPED?
I loved this one! Any chance at a top 10 portable games? Like games you can easily take to a restaurant or bar and play in minimal space?
The description should instead be "Sam and Zee REALLY get into and Tom jokes about it."
Glad to see Sam sticking up for Last night on Earth. One of my favorite games ever :D
I just can't forgive Zee for hating on Stone Age! This is one of the greatest games ever!
BSG "No sympathizer" 6p variant (official, on FFG's website) is actually my favorite mode of play
We never use the sympathizer. We just say, "pretend it's a human card."
In my last game I was the sympathizer and was throne in prison for 1/3 of the game, it was frustrating but still had fun.
With the expansions especially Daybreak, the Muntineer or with Cylon Leader any player count works. Daybreak throws out their argument completely..
I need a vine or reaction gif of Zee-thinking-about-18XX.
39:20 RE: Friday... Tom hates clean up so much... I cringe whenever I see his solo reviews where the whole box gets dumped out in one cascade.
My game that these jokers don't appreciate is Code of nine. I always enjoy the fact that every decision counts and you are always on your toes thinking about what everyone is doing. I understand that it isn't for everyone though, but I'm always have a fun time playing it.
This is great.... You guys have great banter with each other.
Was confused by the Tapletop side note... thought the Sheriff of Nottingham was a good episode.
I enjoy the top 10 videos, but definitely not the live audience. Glad this is an exception.
Sam, Tom, and Zee. These are the og
Tom looking extremely uncomfortable with the Sam/Zee back-and-forth...
Also, glad to see Duel of Ages on a list! I showed up way late to that party having picked up the game just a month or so ago, and it jumped straight into my top 10 fighting for my #1 after a few plays. What a game! Yeah it's random as heck, very unfair and very ugly, but what you get is a true Ameritrash masterpiece if you like to watch an epic story unfold on your table. Appreciate it!
(Also I'm with Zee on the whole "end the game at this time" thing. Fortunately, the game allows you to choose a game end condition, game size, and game length at the start! It's really a system that sets itself up as an engine for fun, and then asks you how YOU want to play it.)
There's a ton of game in BSG. It was one of my first 6 games getting into the hobby and playing 300ish games later (and owning 200 of them) it's still my favorite game of all time.
However, play with 5.
my list, in no particular order:
Argent: The Consortium
Chaosmos
BattleCon
Sentinels of the Multiverse
Pixel Tactics
Out of curiosity, how did Tabletop ruin Sherif of Nottingham? (not a huge fan of Tabletop, jw)
Factory Fun is a steaming pile of cardboard. Zee talked so highly about it that I bought it and now I dream of burning it
Cut into pieces and make it a puzzle?
Sam and Zee's hate for Galaxy Trucker only make me like it more! Great list.
Codenames is one of the games I find nice to play between bigger more interesting games to have a bit of a break
This show is a hit. Very impressive.
Wow 5 mins in and my belly already hurts because off laughing :-)
Great episode guys, great top 10 idea!
I really enjoy Firefly: The Game, and Yomi. The former is a game universe which I'm a massive fan of so that helps, but the gameplay is like a "what-if" of mixing crew members and scenarios from the TV show merged with Pick Up & Deliver. For Yomi, I really like it because it emulates what fighting videogames do in terms of the core "rock-paper-scissors" mechanism (rather like Gale Force 9's WWE Superstar Showdown - incidentally, another game which I also happen to enjoy, so fans of wrestling and Yomi should definitely check that out too!).
My group loves Firefly, but I've been saying since we first played it that the cards lie about how long the game will take :)
I love Flash point . It seems like a replacement game to pandemic both are co op but in flash point the alpha gamer seems constricted because it gives everyone such a great feeling of clearing fire for yourself and no one really has to help you that much
20:07 Instead of playing for a certain amount of time, I'd prefer to have a time limit for each player. Having a game time limit could cause arguments about whether someone is playing slow purposely to run the clock out. A time limit for each player would be like using a chess clock.
factory fun is surely mentioned somewhere in there :p
Man this video so fun to watch :D
Sam not even wanting to try Claustrophobia is WILD to me! He would love that game. Horrendous take.
Zee is way too funny.
Last Night on Earth, Xia, Friday, Kobayakwa and Code Names are all really fun games that I've gotten a lot of use from. Number one on this list for me though would be Agricola. These guys don't like it, and I can see Caverna upstaging it, but I still feel it's a really solid worker placement game.
Coming back to Sam and Last night on Earth, I would say the big problem is that neither Zombicide BP or Carnival Zombie feel like zombie games. I mean zombies in the good old fashioned sense. They feel like... videogame zombies, or like some kind of bigger than life comic book... LNoE could possibly be the ONLY legitimate zombie game. Maybe Dead of Winter applies too. If you remove the dog.
