A great list! Such fun to see Sam back with Tom and Zee and joking around. I have been watching old Top 10s with Sam lately, and this feels like one of them.
Great lists!... and a fun video! Good to see the old gang back together for this video. The most fun I have with a dice chucker is Las Vegas. Easy to teach... and there is always a hilarious last minute tie that brings everyone to their feet. Bang: The Dice Game and Dice Town are also good choices. For the wargamer in me... the most interesting dice chucker is GMT's Fields of Despair. It never happens... but it is theoretically possible for one player to roll 60 dice in a single combat!
Formula de is our great dice roller. Rolling the blue golf ball is the moment of pure joy. Also rolling the die in Camel Gamble I mean Camel Up is great.
I was expecting to see The Reckoners somewhere on this list. Players simultaneously rolling handfuls of dice multiple times, keeping one or more from each roll, then using the dice as actions on the city boards.
Saw Sam’s face and the title of this top ten… one game comes to mind. You know it. I know it. We all know it. And what do you know… number 6 with a bullet.
It makes sense that a lot of Top 10 Dice Chuckin' Games would be OLD games. It is an...old...mechanic. Personally, I love it. I love rollin' dice. I even enjoy the randomness that it brings to games that rely heavily on it. But...this is 2025. All the cool boardgamers are gonna hold rolling dice with just a little less disdain that the roll-and-move action. What can ya do? Just roll with it, I guess.
36:00 - From Webster’s Dictionary: “tenebrism - a style of painting especially associated with the Italian painter Caravaggio and his followers in which most of the figures are engulfed in shadow but some are dramatically illuminated by a beam of light usually from an identifiable source.” Something like that, Zee?
Nemo's War might be my #1 dice chucker. Btw, Mike and Chris, have you seen the latest episode of Best of the Worst on RLM's channel? My god it might be the greatest episode ever! lol
This is very surprising! Although none of these guys really like it I think. I imagine that Mike and Camilla would have had it near the top of their lists though.
Sam! Let me help you out with your number five. First of all, I’m giving you another die. It has six, not five. And it is one of my family’s go-to games. My wife, for whatever reason, loves this game. Hates the theme, but will play this one anytime.
Kingdom death monster would be my top dice chucker. Not even close but 2nd place would be thunder road vendetta with all expansions. Oathsworn seems good. But I am all in with kingdom death monster and we love the settlement/civ like building aspect were your people are a resource to insure the next generation survives. 3rd might be the others 7 sins. Great game.
Always love seeing these three together! And I agree with Sam about BSG. My first game of it was at a convention. It came down to a single dice roll over whether Cylons or humans won. Literally the whole convention had crowded around the table to see how it played out, and there was a massive eruption of cheers when the humans managed to kill the final centurion. I was a Cylon, and my turn was next. Still my most fun time losing.
I'm a huge fan of BSG but putting it on this list is just objectively incorrect. In no universe is this what people mean when they say "dice chucking".
okay, i am a littel emotional seeing the 3 OG's together on a top ten. It was a simpler world back then. I miss it.
Man, I love seeing Sam back in this. Your guys' chemistry is through the ROOF here! More please.
Ahhh, sooo miss the 3 OGs of Game Review. Man, I wish there were more of these. So entertaining to watch!
I know you want to do something new, but COME ON MAN, this is the perfect opportunity for the Miami Dice intro!
A great list! Such fun to see Sam back with Tom and Zee and joking around. I have been watching old Top 10s with Sam lately, and this feels like one of them.
I see Sam pop on and immediately exclaim "Bang!"
Love seeing all 3 of you back together. Miss your chemistry! I think I watched every top ten you guys did together back in the day
Two I would’ve added, Fortune and Glory and Roll for the Galaxy.
the 3 OGs together again! they all have diverse taste as well
For pure excitement when someone is rolling dice, Formula D should be among the mentions
If Sam doesn't say "Bang the Dice Game" I'll get a face tattoo!
Great lists!... and a fun video! Good to see the old gang back together for this video. The most fun I have with a dice chucker is Las Vegas.

I wish I could up vote this twice, so good to see these 3 together again doing top 10 lists.
How can there be no love for Cubitos? When you get the chance to roll all of your dice. That is such a great feeling.
But there are mostly blanks on those dice as far as I remember.
Fun to see the Three Amigo's sitting down with each other for a Top Ten (some times I miss the 'ole days"). Thanks for the video!
I spent the whole list thinking I’d just be sick if a certain game wasn’t on Tom’s list. Thankfully it was number 1.
Well whadya know, they got the old band back together. Not watched the list yet but looking forward to it.
I was expecting to see The Reckoners somewhere on this list. Players simultaneously rolling handfuls of dice multiple times, keeping one or more from each roll, then using the dice as actions on the city boards.
Tom's #1 was no surprise! Love it!
Saw Sam’s face and the title of this top ten… one game comes to mind. You know it. I know it. We all know it.
And what do you know… number 6 with a bullet.
This was a nice surprise!
"V" you win Tom! Great for it's time.
Omg its sam I can't believe that. so glad that he's back
This was so incredibly nostalgic. The games, the trio, the banter, everything!
"Risk Express" / "Age of War"
for the Knizia fans
Good to see the team back together.

Champions of midgard feels relevant with grey Fox games getting ready to launch an anniversary Kickstarter
Great to see the OG team again, the banter and OMG the games picked... this whole video was a blast from the past and I loved every minute of it 🤣
I love Dice Town!
There were eight games listed that I want to go out and buy now, if they’re still a available…
Sam knows Tommy from Texas. I live in Kerrville. We played Votes for Women at DTW. Howdy!

Something like that, Zee?
Nemo's War might be my #1 dice chucker.
Btw, Mike and Chris, have you seen the latest episode of Best of the Worst on RLM's channel? My god it might be the greatest episode ever! lol
Mahah, NJ is very close to where I grew up
Final Girl, Nokosu Dice, and Magical Athlete, where are they??
This is very surprising! Although none of these guys really like it I think. I imagine that Mike and Camilla would have had it near the top of their lists though.
Nokosu Dice is so good! I also thought Tom might have Andromeda’s Edge on here.
Great, now I wanna play bloodsmurf...
There is something wrong………. Sam and Zee need to switch seats.
Sam! Let me help you out with your number five. First of all, I’m giving you another die. It has six, not five. And it is one of my family’s go-to games. My wife, for whatever reason, loves this game. Hates the theme, but will play this one anytime.
This video made me question if I knew what a dice chuckin' game was
I really wish Mike D could have made it to this episode. Great video, regardless!
Kingdom death monster would be my top dice chucker. Not even close but 2nd place would be thunder road vendetta with all expansions. Oathsworn seems good. But I am all in with kingdom death monster and we love the settlement/civ like building aspect were your people are a resource to insure the next generation survives. 3rd might be the others 7 sins. Great game.
Well, at least one certain 3-way crossover was guaranteed. :/
.
.
.
Well, ok, it was only 2-way. C:DMD
I have to add my top 5 because I don't think any of them were mention:
Xia, Legends of a Drift System
Camel Up
Panda Royal
Catan
Giant Killer Robots
Perfection!
Sam and Zee need to switch spots.
Surprised cubitos didn't go on anyone's list
What a good pick
Great to see y'all back together!
World of Warcraft Board Game and Dice Forge would be my #1 and #2 respectively.
sam!! it's sam!! look, sam!!!
Man Tom let me down, no Arcadia/Starcadia Quest? Those exploding crits are so fun. Still a great video though thanks y’all
i used to live near Mahwah, NJ
Tom and sam need to do a Miami dice episode

So happy to see the 3 OG's
He did not say Mississauga right. lol. It's not "gwah" its "gah"
No love for the old Avalon Hill game from the 1980s? Yeah it’s flawed but you chuck an incredible number of dice. Even got a reprint in 2008
No Dice Miner?
Massive darkness 2 should have been in here
Sam is back!!!
Too Many Bones would be at the top of my list.
Is it just me or is the countdown loading screen a Magic Eye image?
I enjoy the older games still be recognized, by the way.
Always good to see Sir Samuel Healy. Miss the OG three
No Marvel Dicemasters? No Age of War? No Zombie Dice? No One Deck Dungeon?
Tom not putting marvel dice masters is crazy to me. The game fell off hard! It’s still good IMO!
Mahwah, NJ
Good video, but no Terraforming Mars The Dice Game???????? 😢
Take care.
The number of ads on your videos is actually egregious
You are correct. Ungortunately UA-cam defaults to showing far too many and we manually have to disengage that setting on each video. They are off now.
I consider very few of these “ dice chucking “ games.
Too many of these are just games with dice.
Lil, earthborne or oathsworne same same difference difference.
Original 3
It's pronounced miss-iss-a-gah. There's a "u" in there though, I get it.
Kind of shocked that not Chip Theory game was on any list!
How was Dice Forge not on here? So sad other games didn't take on the dice upgrade style...
I would add Too many bones
SAM!
🏴☠
I'm a huge fan of BSG but putting it on this list is just objectively incorrect. In no universe is this what people mean when they say "dice chucking".
Has anyone played MOONROLLERS?
😳OMG !
Miss it. 🥲 Love it. 🥰
