I love the picking back an forth y'all did on this game. Watching Lincoln laugh at Dave's rolls and Nikki asking about Dave's rows. 🤣🤣🤣 Poor Dave I feel your pain buddy.
Everyone's positive attitude is what brings me back to this channel. You are all having fun, even when some of you are having terrible luck, or maybe a bad decision, and then realize later what you have done. Dave always has me cracking up, he's like, Eh whatever, I'm going to try something and see where it takes me. Congrat's Nikki for some awesome die rolling!
I love that dice tower! I bought one after seeing your ads for it and took it to my local game place for the D&D game I’m running, and it got a lot of attention ❤
Eg. Nikki rolls 6 dice, Results 1,2,2,4,5 & 5 . Nikki can do either 2 or 5. . Dave/Lincoln: which one is luckier to you? (Action) Nikki put aside both 2s & both 5s & rerolls the 1 & 4. David/Lincoln: She is letting the dice decide. Results of reroll: 2 & 5. LOL.
What a fantastic game! I love chucking dice, and this is just made for me. Poor Dave... seldom have I seen any of you suffer luck as bad as that throughout an entire game, but he still had a smile on his face so all was good. And as for Nikki, all I can say is that she must have had Lucky Charms for breakfast this morning! 🥣🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲 Thanks so much for bringing this one to my attention, I really like it.
It helps that I'd played this 100+ times on BrettSpielWelt, so I've seen all kinds of great and terrible luck, as well as one that turned into the other.
Quick question, what’s the point of flipping the tiles for a re-roll if that doesn’t prevent you from getting an extra dice by meeting the straight line or diagonal conditions? If that makes sense
Hi! Do you guys do playthrough videos on specific board games in exchange for payment/free copies? I recently published a board game, Nations and Empires, and would love to get a playthrough video of it. Thank you in advance for your time!
Even though that dice tower looks cool - I think it just gives you what you drop in most of the time. I like the other Gamegenic products, but that seems janky to me. Hopefully the game was still fun.
The ratings kind of suck, because people only rank games they play. So a smaller or lighter game, no matter how much it finds a following, will have a ton of people rate it low, because they played it, and didn't like it. On the flip side, a game that is HUGE, that takes several hours to play, and has fewer people playing it, gets a lot of love from those devoted to playing it, but MOST gamers never play it, and so that game doesn't accumulate those hate points. It's why the top 100 has way too many really heavy games...they have a small but devoted following that rates it highly, with few low ratings because the people who wouldn't like it...never play it. It's part of the reason why I only own like 3 or 4 games in the top 100...I have ZERO desire to play most of them...most the games in my collection are lighter, mid-weight games that everyone has played, but because everyone has played them, they get a wider range of ratings from the community.
look at how many table top war games are on the top 100 list too, there's not a lot, but the fact there are as many as there are, supports my theory. It's a perfect example of a game played by a relatively small segment of the gaming community...but they are INCREDIBLY devoted to those games and rate them highly...meanwhile, most of us will NEVER touch those games, so they remain unrated by us. There's no way to balance that IMO. The only way to truly see what games are best are to take all the games rated by the same number of people and rank them...then compare games rated by smaller groups and rank them...then compare games rated by a significantly smaller pools and rank them...which is a lot of work and still doesn't differentiate between different game sub types (since you'd have war games being rated with 18xx, or whatever). It's why I have zero interest into how a game is rated. Just because one game is rated 10, doesn't mean I will enjoy it more than a game rated a 5...if that 5-rated game is more in my wheelhouse, maybe it's got mechanisms I prefer or it's weight is perfect or it's a drafting game which I love...meanwhile the game rated 10 might be a heavy resource management Euro game which is maybe my least favorite type of game...the ratings might be group dependent, but they are still very arbitrary...you can't use a number system to tell me what games I'll like or not like. It's just a way that each of us can distinguish what games we like vs what games we don't like.
I think I've got the answer for this - each player is meant to have one colour of Tulip (matching the colour of their character on the top left of the player board). That way, it's a war between people growing different colours of Tulips.
@@davidarnott4850 Dang, I was sure I had it! That is very strange, but I suppose a fun quirk of the design. Managed to find a copy of this today and looking forward to playing it - cheers for introducing it to me Dave!
Having watched this and having never played it, I think I would agree it doesn't seem quite as exciting a game as Dave made it to be. Always depends on the company but it seems like a dumbed down yahtzee if anything with less things to go for. Also no player interaction is never enjoyable for me as a mechanic
@@chaddy0101 The player interaction is definitely small, but it is there in that it's a race game. So you might choose to take more/less of a risk, or choose to focus on the 4th/5th row depending on where you think you stand in relation to your opponents. Especially when you roll something unexpected that might give you that opportunity to change course.

The utter joy at some of those rolls by you all was wonderful! Even on a horrid day you managed to bring a smile to my face. Thank you GameNight!
Nikki schools the table with her superb dice rolling skill haha! Congrats Nikki!
If it's really her dice rolling skills that won her the game - well that's a pretty bad argument for that sponsor's dice tower.
Dave & Dice is always fun, haha
I love that dice tower! I bought one after seeing your ads for it and took it to my local game place for the D&D game I’m running, and it got a lot of attention ❤
I was enjoying it so much, it ended so soon, great video!
What a great ending!
Eg. Nikki rolls 6 dice,
Results 1,2,2,4,5 & 5 .
Nikki can do either 2 or 5. .
Dave/Lincoln: which one is luckier to you?
(Action) Nikki put aside both 2s & both 5s & rerolls the 1 & 4.
David/Lincoln: She is letting the dice decide.

LOL.
11:58 appreciate the Mallrats reference Lincoln!,
Dave suddenly got that Wil Wheaton roll.
Simple. Fun.
I played this game along with them as the 4th player. Still can't believe I won just before Nikki. So intense.
First!
God bless Dave
Will this be available in the USA soon? Is it now?

Because you get a re-roll. Which could be something you really need.

Has Dave lost wieght? He is looking good :)
I love dice rolling games, such a simple filler games..
Very weird to me that the colors do NOTHING, especially since the cover makes it out to be some kind of tulip color war :D
Agreed.
I think I've got the answer for this - each player is meant to have one colour of Tulip (matching the colour of their character on the top left of the player board). That way, it's a war between people growing different colours of Tulips.
@@benarmstrong2825 I soooooo appreciate the logic of that, but it actually says in the rules that the colors don't matter :)

4.7 BGG rating. Ooof.
Yeah... the BGG rating's way off with this one.

@@Warriorking.1963 knowing how badly it sells it makes sense though. So many shops are sitting on tons of copies because noone is interested in them.
@@NinjarioPicmin May I ask, what country are you in? I can't find a single copy of it in the UK.
