Great list. I would agree with you about Troyes. I feel it doesn't get talked about much. It's one of my favorite games! The Ladies of Troyes expansion also adds a lot of modules as well. Incredible game. Grand Austria Hotel is fantastic as well. Other games not mentioned that I love are La Granja, Lorenzo il Magnifico, Tiletum, and The Red Cathedral. Great channel and thanks for the content!
You mentioned a bunch of great games there. La Granja is a favorite of mine and il Magnifico is fantastic. I agree Troyes doesn't get talked about enough. Thanks for watching!
I play a ton of space base with my BGA weekly group, usually at 5 players. I really like it and it almost made this list. We also hit Stone Age often and I find it more compelling. I'm much more annoyed by the dice with space base. Thanks for watching, Michael!
Cool list! Madeira is such a forgotten gem, love it! Gotta try some of these I haven't yet. For heavy juicy dice drafting definitely look into Tekhenu and Trismegistus. Circadians: First Light is the only Garphil I like. Simple medium-weight sci-fi worker placement. Rollway Station for totally under the radar roll-n-write mixed with 18xx feel.
I had forgotten about Circadians. I need to play that one more. I think I've tabled it twice and enjoyed it a bunch. Yeah, Madeira is amazing. I've been playing it on BGA a fair amount. Another game I'm terrible at but still love. Always too many pirates. 😂 Thanks for watching!
Love the video. Great quality as always. Definitely one of my favorite board game channels. Also, at the end, you named exactly the two games I wanted to mention so I guess you know your audience, hahahaha
Some of my favorites Castles of Burgundy Roll for the Galaxy Cubitos Merlin Alien Frontiers Roll Player Fantastic Factories Sagrada Steampunk Rally (Fusion) Wayfarers of the South Tigris Dice Forge Istanbul the Dice Game Fuse Railroad Ink
Nice list. I considered a bunch of these. Many would be in my top 20. I forgot about Fantastic Factories. I've had fun with that one. And Dice Forge is one I've played a ton. Good stuff. Thanks for checking out the video!
I'm glad you liked it, PhoenixSlayer. There were so many games I wanted to talk about, ten wasn't enough. I might do a solo only dice list. But I feel like I need to play a few more heavy hitters. Thanks!
I think "one deck dungeon" and the classic PnP "Bargain Basement Bathysphere of Beachside Bay" are my fave dice focused games. Love this list though, going to have to check some of these out CoB is already on my list to get :)
Great List! Castles of Burgundy and Teotihuacan are probably my two favorite dice management games. I have not played Troyes, but I do want to try it. I also want to try out Black Angel at some point to compare it.
Really love the list! I think I share many of these. Troyes didn't hit with me (only solo) but the others you mentioned I liked. I also enjoy playing The Artemis Project - which is a dice game. It's not heavy but I tend to play a bunch back and solo mostly. I also love Creature Comforts for the same reason and the plus is my daughter loves it too! Thanks for the great quality content!!
Creature Comforts is great. I'm so glad it got the popularity it deserved. I never tried Artemis Project. I'll need to look into that one a bit more. My version of Troyes didn't come with solo rules, so I've never tried it, but at 2 or 3 players it really shines. I should probably do a separate list of specifically solo dice games since so many of these are multiplayer focused. Thanks, Joellen!
Great list! Woodcraft is one that pops up in my mind too. Really cool dice manipulation. Teotihuacan is a great one too. And an upcoming game that from what's I've seen is also pretty interesting with dice is Scholars of the South Tigris.
I'm definitely interested in Scholars! Looks great. I excluded both Teo and Woodcraft from the list due to the dice not really being used as dice, but both are fantastic games. Thanks for watching!
❤ Rajas and Steampunk Rally Fusion. Surprise to see those, I have them and love playing those. I live in Macau, didn't know Macao has reprinted/ reskinned as Amsterdam! Shoutout to Sagrada, Dice Town, Volt, Wurfel Bohnaza, Professor Evil Citadel of time, King of New York and Rattlebones ❤ Lovely to see Nautilion in your top 10 too.🎉 Troyes is amazing indeed
I'm glad you found the channel, beerman! I haven't played Origins but I remember seeing an overview video and it looked like something I would enjoy. Thanks for the recommendation and thanks for watching!
My favourite thing in board games is when the dice are used in a clever way! I've played or own multiple entries on the list, Troyes being also my favourite! An other game, that is not in this list, is Coimbra, which I really like: it's a dice drafting game, where the value on the dice you take will dictate the order they are resolved, but it will also dictate how much it costs. Taking a value 6-die to ensure that you have the first pick on that trade row will make all cards expensive to you (costs 6), and maybe you will not be able to afford something else later that round because of it. Taking a value 1-die will mean your purchase will be cheap, but you will have to pick from the leftover cards (if there are any). Balancing between the costs vs order in a dice drafting is an interesting concept for me. (Also, the color of the dice you take also count, later in the round will give you income based on the corresponding track - and the die value does not matter)
Coimbra is a great game and perfect choice for this list. It almost made it, but I've only played it a few times and would like to table it more. I'm a big fan of dice drafting so this game really speaks to me. I wish it had a solo mode! Anyway, thanks so much for checking out the video!
Good list. I would have placed Pulsar 2849 somewhere. It about dice drafting and placement, but choosing higher dice, which are generally better, means you need to take a penalty too.
Such a great game. I'm so bad at it, but I'm having so much fun as I disappoint all my hotel guests, making them wait for their cake and never having their room cleaned in time. 🤣 Thanks for watching!
Ooo, never tried Village Attacks. I'll have to check that out. Sagrada is a good choice. Would be in my top 20. Fun game and very unique use of dice. Thanks for watching, George!
That's a great one! Aerion might be my second favorite behind Nautilion -- I have a fondness for that one for some reason. Although the new one -- Cyberion, is rising up the ranks and might take that number two spot. No dice in that one, however. Thanks for watching!
I paused the video on castles of burgundy to go play a game of grand austria hotel, then came right back to the video after. Coincidence. Also, give coimbra a try.
Ha, nice. Grand Austria Hotel is so great. I'm terrible at it, but I love it. Coimbra almost made the list, but I've only played twice and need a few more plays to really solidify my feelings. So far I've really enjoyed it, just like everything else from that design team. Thanks for watching!
Great video as always, Shaggy. Totally agree about GAH, brilliant game! My favourites that you haven’t put on your list are Nemo’s War 2nd Ed, closely followed by Pandemic The Cure.
Great list. Gave me a few games to think about. Id probably have Castles of Burgundy at the top spot. 2nd place Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria, great game definitely should get more attention. Troyes is on my shelf but so far not played but it looks interesting.
I've completely missed the Valeria games. Not sure why, just never on my radar. I think I played Card Kingdoms of Valeria a long time ago, but that is it. Troyes is very interesting. Kind of a quirky game that can take a few plays to grok, despite a pretty simple ruleset. It is an evergreen for me. Thanks for watching!
Dice Miner is a great filler game with lots of set collection, open drafting, and mitigation die. Each character has their own ability to add to set collections. Also a great after work day game.
I keep hearing good things about Dice Miner and for some reason it completely passed me by. I'll definitely need to check that one out. Thanks for the recommendation and thanks for watching, Seth.
Great picks! Troyes would be my first pick too. Magnificent would also be on my list somewhere, I love the colored dice building off each other but at a potentially higher cost, and boosting with gems feels good to be able to do more.
I forgot about Magnificent. I would need to play a few more times, but I really liked it. That seems like an underappreciated game. Thanks for checking out the video!
Two other games I'd add are Sagrada and Lords of Vegas. In Sagrada you draft dice and have to make a vitreaux but you can't have two adjacent dice of the same number or the same color, and your personal board also has some restrictions. In Lords of Vegas any casino tile of the same color as an adjacent tile forms a bigger casino but each tile has a die showing its owner, the person with the highest die is the boss of the casino, and you can pay to reorganize, you reroll all the dice in a casino trying to become the boss
Both great picks. I'm so-so on Sagrada, but I love Lords of Vegas. So much fun, if everyone goes into it with the right expectations. Rolling for control of a big casino creates those stand up and cheer moments that you want. Super random, but it's Vegas, so it works. Now I want to play this again. Thanks, Agus!
my list would definitely have Teotihuacan, Magnificent, Pandemic the Cure, Merchants of the Dark Road, Euphoria, Perseverance, but the only game on that list ive played is Dice Throne and im not really a fan. i can see merchants of the dark road possibly not being on this list. while you power your actions with dice, the dice to me still dont feel like the meat of the game necessarily. still really like how they work in that though. dice placement/selection might be my favorite mechanic. CoB special edition is currently en route, ill eventually give GAH a shot, and ill need to see the others played.
Great idea for a list! Surprised to not see Woodcraft; was it disqualified due to not being a “traditional” use of dice, or too new, need to judge staying power, or just didn’t make the cut? Similar question for Wayfarers of the South Tigris-too new, disqualified due to lots of cards and worker placement, or just didn’t make the cut?
Yes, Woodcraft you don't get to roll the dice (except when setting the market) so they are basically counters. Same with Teotihuacan. Wayfarers was close. I felt like the dice part of the game was a bit undercooked. Just putting various symbols on the sides wasn't that exciting to me. The game as a whole is fun, though. Thanks for watching!
Great video as usual. I've been binging Marco Polo on BGA and I'm interested in the sequel bc it's more of the same, but a little looser. What's the game in the intro B-roll?
Yeah, I've never tried the sequel. Looks interesting because Marco is so tight. The game in the beginning is Madeira. It is also on BGA. Thanks, Crabdust!
Pulsar is a great pick for this list. I've never really dived into the Tiny Epic series of games. Definitely a hole in my gaming resume. And Dice Throne is great. There is even a Marvel version if you are one of those types of people. 😀 Thanks for watching!
I just got an email yesterday and Hegemony is on its way! So, yes, soon I will definitely do a playthrough. I'm very excited for it. Thanks for checking out the video, Helder!

But after watching your video, I really wan to try Macao/Amsterdam. That looks really interesting.
Pulsar nearly made this list. It has been a while since it hit the table and I think that probably influenced my decision to leave it off. Definitely one I need to table soon, as I love the dice mechanism in it. Good choice! Thanks for checking out the video!
I've only played Fusion, so I cannot compare the two. Fusion has a new ability that gives you these fusion dice with extra pips, but I don't know if that substantially changes the game or keeps it from being broken. Thanks for watching!
Friend... im working on a design of a game that is a national love in the UK but there doesnt seem to be a board game based around it - i'd love to show you it some time and get your feed back.... i think it could be a big hit
Are they huge like On Tour and Everdell Collector's Edition? Few games have huge dice, that's true. I'm more of a fan of A LOT of dice. Thanks for watching, warpo!
I backed the upcoming deluxe version of Castles of Burgundy. Based on its reputation and how gorgeous it looks. I’ve never even played it! Did you back the deluxe?
I did back it. I'm a sucker for Feld games and after fighting temptation for a while I eventually broke down. It is worthy of a "collector's edition" type production. Great couples game. Perfect length. Gem of a game. Thanks for watching, grizzzz!
Ah, yes. I so need to get that to the table. I've read the rulebook and everything. I love the T series. Thanks for reminding me of that one and thanks for watching!
That's fair, I am mostly a Euro gamer. I was trying to highlight games that use dice in unique ways other than just roll to resolve. Those tend to be Euros. But feel free to include some of your favorite dice games here in the comments. The more recommendations the better! Thanks for watching!
That's a blast from the past. I haven't played in maybe 10 years, but I remember it being pretty fun. That's about all I remember, unfortunately. 🤣 Thanks!
So excited to see Steampunk Rally Fusion!!! That game is a hidden gem. It ought to have more attention.
I totally agree, Carla! I feel like I'm the only one who talks about it. I really need to do a playthrough. Thanks for watching!
Nice to see Steampunk Rally get some love
It is so much fun, I'm not sure why nobody talks about it. Roxley makes fantastic games. Thanks for checking out the video!
Great list. I would agree with you about Troyes. I feel it doesn't get talked about much. It's one of my favorite games! The Ladies of Troyes expansion also adds a lot of modules as well.

roll player with monster & minions expansion its a good game with dice too
That is a great one. On my short list for sure. Thanks!
My favorite board game channel. Shaggy, thank you for your videos.
I second this. Love the top list videos as well as playthroughs 👍🏻.
Same.
Agree
That is incredibly kind of you to say, lazyleo. That is really a high compliment and I appreciate the support. Thanks!
Totally agree with Troyes. So good and so fun.
Also space base is awesome.
I play a ton of space base with my BGA weekly group, usually at 5 players. I really like it and it almost made this list. We also hit Stone Age often and I find it more compelling. I'm much more annoyed by the dice with space base. Thanks for watching, Michael!
I love Troyes. Great to see it on this list. Black Angel is another one to keep a lookout for.
Yeah, I need to play Black Angel more but I like it. But Troyes is a game I would play anytime and anywhere. Thanks for watching!
Dice miner is a favorite in my game room
You did not disappoint with number 1! Great video.
It is one of those games I would happily play anytime, no matter what mood I'm in. It just works for me. Thanks Nir!
Awesome choices and very well done video!!
Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff now :)
Thanks so much for checking out the list. I hope you enjoy the rest of the channel! Have a great day!
Cool list! Madeira is such a forgotten gem, love it! Gotta try some of these I haven't yet.
For heavy juicy dice drafting definitely look into Tekhenu and Trismegistus.
Circadians: First Light is the only Garphil I like. Simple medium-weight sci-fi worker placement.
Rollway Station for totally under the radar roll-n-write mixed with 18xx feel.

Agree with Fantastic Factories 👍
Fuse!❤ great list and reminders. Thank you
Great list, Kingsburg is an oldie and one of my favorites
Good call on Kingburg. I haven't played it in a while, but a great classic. Thanks for watching!
I've always liked games that use dice in interesting ways, so this was the perfect video for me.
I'm glad you liked it, PhoenixSlayer. There were so many games I wanted to talk about, ten wasn't enough. I might do a solo only dice list. But I feel like I need to play a few more heavy hitters. Thanks!

First video for me. Excellent content. If you haven't tried it, I would suggest Origins: First Builders as an interesting use of dice.

Me and the wife like Taverns of tiefenthal which has Dice drafting and Dice placement. Really fun especially when using all modules
I've never played that one but I've always wanted to try it. Sounds fun and a great one for the list. Thanks for watching and sharing!
Dice Theme Park & Crystal Palace are great too!
Great recommendations! Thanks for sharing those and thanks for checking out the video!
Castles of burgundy and grand austria hotel are 2 of our favorites!
They are great, especially at 2 players. Thanks for watching!
Troyes. Phenomenal pick
It's a top 15 game of all time for me and holding strong. It routinely hits the table. Amazing design by an amazing designer. Thanks for watching!
Great picks! Troyes would be my first pick too. Magnificent would also be on my list somewhere, I love the colored dice building off each other but at a potentially higher cost, and boosting with gems feels good to be able to do more.

@@TotallyTabled You're welcome!
Attack Jelly Monster is Las Vegas on steroid. It's great to be mean and quick
my list would definitely have Teotihuacan, Magnificent, Pandemic the Cure, Merchants of the Dark Road, Euphoria, Perseverance, but the only game on that list ive played is Dice Throne and im not really a fan. i can see merchants of the dark road possibly not being on this list. while you power your actions with dice, the dice to me still dont feel like the meat of the game necessarily. still really like how they work in that though.
dice placement/selection might be my favorite mechanic. CoB special edition is currently en route, ill eventually give GAH a shot, and ill need to see the others played.
Great idea for a list! Surprised to not see Woodcraft; was it disqualified due to not being a “traditional” use of dice, or too new, need to judge staying power, or just didn’t make the cut?
Similar question for Wayfarers of the South Tigris-too new, disqualified due to lots of cards and worker placement, or just didn’t make the cut?

Is there a big difference between steam punk rally and steam punk rally fusion?
Great video as usual. I've been binging Marco Polo on BGA and I'm interested in the sequel bc it's more of the same, but a little looser. What's the game in the intro B-roll?
Yeah, I've never tried the sequel. Looks interesting because Marco is so tight. The game in the beginning is Madeira. It is also on BGA. Thanks, Crabdust!
Would recommend: Pulsar 2849, Tiny Epic Galaxies and Tiny Epic Quest. a lot of re-playability ;) Dice Throne looks amazing, added to list :)
Pulsar is a great pick for this list. I've never really dived into the Tiny Epic series of games. Definitely a hole in my gaming resume. And Dice Throne is great. There is even a Marvel version if you are one of those types of people. 😀 Thanks for watching!
Another great video, thank you! Any chance you have and want to play Hegemony: Lead your class to victory? 😊
I just got an email yesterday and Hegemony is on its way! So, yes, soon I will definitely do a playthrough. I'm very excited for it. Thanks for checking out the video, Helder!
Thanks
Thanks for checking it out!
If you love dice drafting, have you tried Pulsar 2849. My family love it more than castles of burgundy. 😯 I know right?
but the top for me would be Voyages of Marco Polo. I still love this game. Both are good but the tightness of the original is my preferred due to the tension it can create. teotihuacan, would round out my top three. But after watching your video, I really wan to try Macao/Amsterdam. That looks really interesting.
Pulsar nearly made this list. It has been a while since it hit the table and I think that probably influenced my decision to leave it off. Definitely one I need to table soon, as I love the dice mechanism in it. Good choice! Thanks for checking out the video!
steampunk rally is my all time favorite. i broke it and no one wants to play it with me anymore so i am curious if fusions is diffrent
I've only played Fusion, so I cannot compare the two. Fusion has a new ability that gives you these fusion dice with extra pips, but I don't know if that substantially changes the game or keeps it from being broken. Thanks for watching!
Friend... im working on a design of a game that is a national love in the UK but there doesnt seem to be a board game based around it - i'd love to show you it some time and get your feed back.... i think it could be a big hit
Good work as usual Mr Shaggs. All dice should be the same size as the ones from Twilight Inscription...
Are they huge like On Tour and Everdell Collector's Edition? Few games have huge dice, that's true. I'm more of a fan of A LOT of dice. Thanks for watching, warpo!
@@TotallyTabled They are almost too big! 3 of them are a handful. I'd like to see roll for the galaxy with dice that big lol
I backed the upcoming deluxe version of Castles of Burgundy. Based on its reputation and how gorgeous it looks. I’ve never even played it! Did you back the deluxe?
I did back it. I'm a sucker for Feld games and after fighting temptation for a while I eventually broke down. It is worthy of a "collector's edition" type production. Great couples game. Perfect length. Gem of a game. Thanks for watching, grizzzz!
Pandemic, The Cure. Savage dice rolls. Can be wiped easily. Teotihuacan: City of Gods, awesome worker dice placement game.
Good calls. I discounted Teo since the dice aren't really used as dice, but it is a great game for sure. Thanks!
Try tekhenu 😊. Really tight and cool game!
Ah, yes. I so need to get that to the table. I've read the rulebook and everything. I love the T series. Thanks for reminding me of that one and thanks for watching!
Have you tried Dice Throne Adventures? add to cart.
I haven't tried it, but I've been curious. Now I need to investigate further. Sounds like you enjoy it.
@@TotallyTabled it's a light adventure, but great way to solo. tile flipping dungeon crawl. any/all of the characters are compatible.
@@TotallyTabled PS. you need to get more of the West Kingdom series, Shags! I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy them. As well as Raiders of Scythia.
Try White Castle
I just bought it and I'm excited to try it. Thanks for watching!
Kingsburg
That is a great one. Definitely in my Top 20. Thanks!
Your dice value does not have to be higher in Marco Polo.
Euro Dice should this be called. It was nice, but I expected something... different.
That's fair, I am mostly a Euro gamer. I was trying to highlight games that use dice in unique ways other than just roll to resolve. Those tend to be Euros. But feel free to include some of your favorite dice games here in the comments. The more recommendations the better! Thanks for watching!
