This could be a series. Zee is wrong, Mike is wrong, etc.... And my favorite episode would be Sam is wrong! Bring on the Sam is wrong episode that would be epic! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
No offense to the rest of the dice tower team because they are great, but I love Zee,Roy, and Mike. They work well with each other on camera and play off of Tom as well. I always look forward to seeing videos with this group. This video is no exception keep up the excellent work.
This video shows that García is one of the best reviewers, game enthusiast in the hobby (along with Rahdo and Arnaudo). His intuitive comments, his poignant, meta knowledge shows that he had think (and play) a lot about his passion for gaming.
@@MrPeter13th The Dice Tower isn't just one person, it's a collection of people with different knowledge bases. I don't necessarily agree that Zee knows "nothing" about heavy Euros, but you have to admit he is the person you can rely on to bring up interesting abstract games.
I've had ton of fun with Dominant Species man....I replaced all the cones and whatnot with something that looks a bit more like root type tokens. Beautiful design
I’m literally only 3 minutes into this video and it’s gotta be the best Dice Tower video of all time! It’s freaking hilarious! Let’s do a ZEE ROAST NEXT!! Can’t wait to see the picks!
One of the best Top 10 lists ever! You need to put the person who is wrong in the "Hot" seat on set where we can see them react but they can't defend themselves. This was awesome. Great work. We had a blast in the chat live as well.
There should be a new thing called Board Game Debates where one person absolutely loves a particular board game and another person hates the same board game, and the two debate over the board game. It could be a new running series changing the board games each week and the debaters.
A 6 for Arkahm Horror: the card game? That's my favorite game, it's so much fun to play, a nice combination of thinking what to do with the luck of the chaos bag. The tension and the moments of relief are just great in that game.
I nearly fell out of my chair hearing at the gates of loyang was rated a 4. Great to hear Zee appreciates Notre Dame, great game, way better than a 4. Good design and moves fast. Ra is such a great, streamlined game that has more depth than you realize at first, and Medici is another good one, and I dont even like auction games. And at the end to say he rates Brass Birmingham a 5?!
Remember the time Tom refused to even rate Five Tribes? Or the time he thought Caylus wasn't a worker placement game? I love Tom, but honestly, this video could have been a Top 100.
When Roy said he made a Jif, i thought he made some peanut butter for Zee and Mike. I wonder if they were sad when they didn't get their delicious treat.
Quite often Roy makes statements that are completely incorrect. Sentinels of the Multiverse is fantastic. I play it 2 player, usually. so his, have to play it at 4 players is insane. I just have come to realize that when he likes a game I usually do not. By the way, I love Marvel Champions, which is definitely MATH, the super hero game
My first thought with that comment was that he had only played the first edition, before they introduced the "H" damage scaling. I never played the original, but if villains deal a flat amount of damage instead of it being based on the number of heroes, I can see it working best with a specific number of heroes.
Roy is completely right in this. And Mike mentionned how unbalanced it is. My friend who has it has to have a list of Heroes, Environments and Bosses that work together so the game is not completely ridiculous.
What does Tom rate Brass Birmingham and Food Chain Magnate - both in my top 10, and both he dislike immensely. We needed a voice for heavy games in this top 10!
I’ve come to the conclusion that is is just not a a heavy games channel. They typically prefer pretty games that require less strategy and more action. That’s fine; it’s just not what I’m into. I’d rather play Roads & Boats than Blood Rage.
Whether someone likes or hates Sentinels seems to mostly come down to whether the overhead bothers them. It's basically the *only* complaint I ever hear about the game. Everything else is awesome - unique hero decks that play like that hero and very differently to each other, gameplay that starts you with the villain on top so you have to fight back to win, the environment deck throwing a wrench in the plans of both the heros *and* villains, great combos, flavourful card names like "Thokk!" and "Hypersonic assault", cool comic quotes on the cards, etc. Personally I got used to managing the overhead fairly quickly and don't even notice it most of the time so I'm just left enjoying all the great things about the game.
@@MythicosQc74 Sentinels is somewhat unbalanced. Some heroes are a bit more powerful than others, and some are a bit less powerful than others. Which isn't much of a problem in a co-op game - and is arguably even a feature. (Feel like an easier game? Choose Legacy or Omnitron-X as one of your heroes. Want more of a challenge? Bring Expatriette or Unity). Even that can vary depending on what villain and environment you're playing though (Tempest is generally great but struggles against Dreamer, for example). Sentinels has a loooooot of heroes to choose from, each with their own strengths, weaknesses and play style. If you're finding it unfun, my guess is that you just haven't found the heroes that best suit your style yet. Which heroes have you played and which did you have issues with?
Great expansion, I agree. Jamaica was one of my go-to's for introductions too, even before the expansion, but the expansion makes it that much better. So much easier than "What does this card mean again.. can I see the giant map rule book?" vibe that gets killed from the base game.
Super agree with DC Deckbuilder, Notre Dame, and Arkham LCG. Love those games. Disagree with Innovation, but I get it. Definitely not for everyone but I really like it. My pick for the one not mentioned Tom likes way too much is Century Spice Road. I’m probably in the minority on that one but I bought it on his raving and found it super boring. Great lists and super fun to listen to!
Roy, I'm sorry you don't enjoy Dominant Species. But in this case, Tom is RIGHT and you are wrong. Dominant Species is probably my favorite board game, but I do acknowledge that keeping track of dominance on each location is a big annoyance. Also the game doesn't look horrible, I like how the game looks. It could use a component upgrade to keep up with modern games, but it doesn't need it.
Zee says 'you don't have to study to play the game'...me right now going thru the 34 page 4th edition(revised) rules + 6 pages of charts for Panzer Grenadier.... Maybe I'll get through this all by the time my eldest daughter's next birthday in the middle of September... This was lots of fun.
Roy and Mike are wrong about Sentinels of the Multiverse. I think it’s more thematic than Marvel Champions and it’s still my favorite Super Hero game. But, I do agree with Mike on the DC deckbuilding game and Mysterium!
It's a shame that Sentinels of the Multiverse has so much hate when it really is the most thematic of superhero games. None of other ones has the diversity that Sentinels has, but that does get in the way.
We love DC! The expansions add an insane amount of card play and better Heros/Villains to play as. Also, if its theme you want, you can play any of the Crisis expansions where its jusf straight coop and you actually fight the villains in the lineup along with defeating scemes and supervillains.
Oh wow! Gotta agree with Mike about Medici - until I played The Estates, Medici was my favorite auction game - a 10 for me. Auction is one of my favorite mechanics.
One of the most entertaining streams of the Dice Tower! And actually I agree with nearly everything that was said in this one. Maybe that's why I usually tend to watch Zee's reviews? 😏
I expect the "Zee is Wrong!" Countdown soon. Also, Arkham Horror LCG is amazing! And the Sentinels *app* comes off a bit mathy and fiddly, so I can't even imagine how obnoxious the physical card game would be. Well done fellas.
The thing is, so many of your points in that game come from manipulating the passenger to ride on your rails on your turn. So his table is only taking 15 seconds to play their track, and /then/ they're trying to figure out where the passenger goes, they're missing a significant portion of the game.
Not all area control games have to be dudes on a map with plastic toys. So yeah, Roy is wrong about Dominant Species. As a matter of fact, I think War of the Ring would be a better game (although not near as good as DS), if they would not have made it so confusing with all the plastic junk covering up the (huge, but still much to small for all the stuff) map. This inconvenience sucks up all the fun, I could have with this game.
Good video. Watching this and Mike's other videos, I think his taste is closest to mine at the Dice Tower now (Ryan Metzler's was even closer). Sentinels is my biggest white elephant.
Dominant Species is great Roy. Second Edition looks a little better. Yes a Volcano can happen, but players control that, and you can vontrol the Volcano if you really wanted. You can also spread out to minimize being targeted and minimized it's effects. Can't wait for the new one to come out from the late designer.
I love how they call Tom wrong and yet Roy pronounces GIF wrong almost immediately! I played Dominant Species recently thanks to TTS. I wouldn't give it an 8, but didn't dislike it. It IS about a turn or 2 too long, the components are bland, and it wasn't amazing, but I enjoyed the experience at least, so I wouldn't call it bad. I've not played Lewis and Clark but it was brought to a meetup once and they took forever to actually finish it. I can't judge it from that vantage point but it doesn't inspire me to seek it out. I'd try it out before really judging it though. Tiny Epic games are a mix. Kingdoms is ok, but nothing to be excited over. Galaxies is great, and I really like that one. Zombies is good too, I haven't played the rest to judge them. I have an older version of Wiz War, it's pretty fun, I'd probably put it between 6 and 9, we haven't played in years. I have some Arkham Horror the card game stuff. It's decent but the thematic link feels weaker to me than it first appears and it brings it down for me, although I still like it more than Tom.
I totally agree with Mike on the City of Kings....Love this game and cannot believe Tom did not like it. I think he is missing something. Lots of strategy, great components (I got the miniatures), and fun mechanics. Not sure what else you could want.
I totally agree with Mike about Tom's lack of love for Knizia. RA & Medici are awesome. I've not played Blue Moon, but both Mike and Zee seem to love it. Tom also only rated Tigris & Euphrates as Approved when he reviewed it, when it is obviously an Excellent game. One thing where Tom is definitely right is Innovation. Roy and Zee's lack of appreciation for Chudyk's brilliant combinations card game is criminal. A really fun video overall. I hope Tom gives his response.
Holy cow Roy. You yelled half of the video. I understand that you can be passionate, but when I have to turn the TV down when it comes your time to talk then there's a problem.
About Lewis and Clark: If you see a romantic movie looking for action, you will hate that movie... Tom says that L&C is a bad and slow racing game... but is an excellent worker placement game with a race theme!
Loved this. Tom is a fantastic guy and so much fun to watch but lately his ratings have been so far off my tastes and haven’t helped me at all in my purchases so it’s fun to see these guys agree that he’s often just wrong.
lol great video! even though i thought his review was great, i always thought tom was wrong about brass birmingham. also thought he was wrong about flamme rouge.
There should have been a live camera on Tom. Muted. Just showing his expressions.
LOL! Great
A missed opportunity!
The would have been great.
That would have been nice, if he had actually been there.
Nice!
Toms next list.
Top 10 former employees
Best comment on this video^^^ 😂
If Mike isn’t #1, he was totally robbed.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Please do a video of Tom Reacting/Explaining his side of why he feels how he does! It would be Great!
agreed!
@Dice Tower Make it happen!
Wonderful idea!
Just watch the original reviews?
Yes please
This could be a series. Zee is wrong, Mike is wrong, etc.... And my favorite episode would be Sam is wrong! Bring on the Sam is wrong episode that would be epic! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
@@chimster1234 oof
That last one would be too long and boring
Now I'm dying for a Sam is Wrong top 10
*Table flip!!!* 😆
Yes! Any reason to bring Sam back on to defend himself is more than welcome. Especially if it is also a reason to get him all riled up.
No offense to the rest of the dice tower team because they are great, but I love Zee,Roy, and Mike. They work well with each other on camera and play off of Tom as well. I always look forward to seeing videos with this group. This video is no exception keep up the excellent work.
Gonna be some openings at the Dice Tower next week lol
15:20 The moment Zee started infinitely receding into another dimension, glad your back with us
Tom should do a defense segment with all 30 of these, LOL
This video shows that García is one of the best reviewers, game enthusiast in the hobby (along with Rahdo and Arnaudo). His intuitive comments, his poignant, meta knowledge shows that he had think (and play) a lot about his passion for gaming.
I agree
Zee is turning out be a great aged wine.
Yes he is a good reviewer, yet he knows nothing about heavy Euros 🤷♂️. There is a huge spot that he can't fill...
@@MrPeter13th true, but I dont think he is trying too. For that, checkout the Heavy Cardboard channel.
@@MrPeter13th The Dice Tower isn't just one person, it's a collection of people with different knowledge bases. I don't necessarily agree that Zee knows "nothing" about heavy Euros, but you have to admit he is the person you can rely on to bring up interesting abstract games.
I can't wait to see Tom's followup video, "Top 10 Reasons Why I Fired Everyone at The Dice Tower".
It would be a special top 30 actually :)
I've had ton of fun with Dominant Species man....I replaced all the cones and whatnot with something that looks a bit more like root type tokens. Beautiful design
absolutely - this is a great game, none of these guys represent heavy gamers!
Yeah, Roy is completely wrong. Showing his age here (being young and wanting flashy minis).
@@SteoanK Gameplay aside, it looks undeniably bad. Much like John, I have replaced my cones and cubes with custom bits.
@@PandaOfElastic Flashy bits don't make a game good. It was good before you added them.
@@PandaOfElastic This is why CMON gets so much money on kickstarter for mediocre games.
Let's hear it for the Jamaica expansion! Yeah Zee, yeah! Take that Tom! lol.
This was a great list with a hilarious theme.
I feel like this is the list I’ve always wanted but never knew it.
I've only watched the explanation and already love this. This is a great example of, "We wouldn't like you if we didn't pick on you."
These guys are good game! I love them. Waiting for Tom response. :-)
I just saw an announcement on linkedin from the dice tower hiring two panelists and an editor
Next week: Top 10 Zee is Wrong. Do it.
He is a lovable guy, but more often wrong than Tom. Very peculiar taste.
Once again, Zee Garcia proving he knows best. Jamaica the crew is such a solid game. Hits table almost weekly.
I refuse to play Jamaica now without the crew just love that expansion
Was waiting the whole video for Zee to bust out Blue Moon 🤣
I’m literally only 3 minutes into this video and it’s gotta be the best Dice Tower video of all time! It’s freaking hilarious! Let’s do a ZEE ROAST NEXT!! Can’t wait to see the picks!
Loved, loved, loved(!) this list. Great camaraderie from the Dice Tower team. More please!

Loved this one! I feel like Zee was having a lot of fun with this!
Well, 2 things: Dominant Species is A-MA-ZING. And yes to Blue Moon it is the opposite to war, you have to think so much in each card
Yeah, roy's hate for dominate species was confusing frankly.
Muh cubes
Remember the time Tom refused to even rate Five Tribes? Or the time he thought Caylus wasn't a worker placement game? I love Tom, but honestly, this video could have been a Top 100.

We need more of these three. They are a fun trio

Fun list! Jamaica The Crew is a fantastic expansion - right on, Zee! Wiz War is a hoot - good choice.
Mysterium a 5? I am shocked. It is fantastic! I honestly did not expect to be so shocked so early. LOL.
Brian Myers I’m not. I’ve seen where people enjoy the game up until the final solution where the group feels the game is anticlimactic at the end.
It's good once or twice but starts to get dry and not much fun beyond that IMO.
We get two top 10 lists in one. This Top 10 Games Tom is Wrong About includes Top 10 Games Roy is Wrong About!
Top 10 games Roy is really sensitive about.
Super agree with DC Deckbuilder, Notre Dame, and Arkham LCG. Love those games.
Disagree with Innovation, but I get it. Definitely not for everyone but I really like it.
My pick for the one not mentioned Tom likes way too much is Century Spice Road. I’m probably in the minority on that one but I bought it on his raving and found it super boring.

THAT ENDING! Wonder how many people missed that
Sentinels of the Multiverse is awesome. Fiddly but awesome. I have to defend it. Love you Roy, but I have to side with the man in the hat on this one.
Amen, fiddly isn't always bad. Fantastic game!
You aren't the only one! Go Sentinels!
Guys, it was fun! 😂 muted camera on Tom would be great 🤣🤣
That top 10 should have been one of your top 10s in some convention, in front of an audience. Soooooo funny.
Thanks for saving Eclipse and Battlestar Galactica. You've partially restored my respect for the Dice Tower. :)
Roy, freaking bling out a copy of Dominant Species and play that, you have a 3D printer... it’s so amazing
Super fun guys! Great as always👍🏼😁
Zee says 'you don't have to study to play the game'...me right now going thru the 34 page 4th edition(revised) rules + 6 pages of charts for Panzer Grenadier.... Maybe I'll get through this all by the time my eldest daughter's next birthday in the middle of September...
This was lots of fun.
Roy pronounces gif in the way that makes me smile. Both are acceptable, but his way makes me smile.
Roy and Mike are wrong about Sentinels of the Multiverse. I think it’s more thematic than Marvel Champions and it’s still my favorite Super Hero game. But, I do agree with Mike on the DC deckbuilding game and Mysterium!
Richard Saunders I will also add, it's a lot easier to learn and teach.
You definitely need to make a "Tom reacts to..." video for this!
Love coming back to these. We need more "X is worng" lists guys. Come on! ;P
What a great, refreshing topic. Love it!
It's a shame that Sentinels of the Multiverse has so much hate when it really is the most thematic of superhero games. None of other ones has the diversity that Sentinels has, but that does get in the way.
Its Munchkin with unnecessary worse mathematics
@@atomiccritter6492 I don't see any similarities, but only played Munchkin once and had no desire to try it again.
@@nathanielyamaguchi2897 adding up card numbers to beat the opposing card/s
I've cooled A LOT on Sentinels also. Playing it on the tabletop there is SOOO much down time. It works so much better on the computer.
The irony of Zee throwing shade at Tom's hats while wearing a hat.
Absolutely with Mike on Gates of Loyang. It's one of my favorite Rosenbergs.
What a fun and harmless roast! Great fun!
We love DC! The expansions add an insane amount of card play and better Heros/Villains to play as. Also, if its theme you want, you can play any of the Crisis expansions where its jusf straight coop and you actually fight the villains in the lineup along with defeating scemes and supervillains.
This video could also be titled “Games Tom is right about and Roy is wrong about.”
Tom needs to do a list of games these 3 jokers don't appreciate.
I think one of the themes I'm seeing is that Tom just doesn't like "take that" games - or "take that" adjacent, like many two-player battle games.
Masmorra just got delivered to my doorstep today! Sometimes you just have to go with what looks good to you.
In case it can be fixed, the closing credit’s list says “Top 10 Lookout Games.”
Amazing, Tom's also wrong about the title of the video
Flamme Rouge! It's in the top 200 on BGG, it's one of my very few '10's, and Tom game it a very lacklustre 5.5.
I'm normally right there with Mike, but his opinion on On the Underground breaks my heart. One of my favorite games of all time.
Oh wow! Gotta agree with Mike about Medici - until I played The Estates, Medici was my favorite auction game - a 10 for me. Auction is one of my favorite mechanics.
That's why we like the Dice Tower! They have complementary tastes!
I think this video, more than any others, showed me how much my tastes line up with Tom's and not with everyone else's :)
We needed a video like this!!! Power to the people!!
Y'all doing post credit scenes now? Haha, brilliant 👏 🤣
One of the most entertaining streams of the Dice Tower! And actually I agree with nearly everything that was said in this one. Maybe that's why I usually tend to watch Zee's reviews? 😏
Village Pillage is a perfect game in every way and Tom only gives it a seal of approval
This was such a fun video to watch! 👍
I expect the "Zee is Wrong!" Countdown soon.
Also, Arkham Horror LCG is amazing!
And the Sentinels *app* comes off a bit mathy and fiddly, so I can't even imagine how obnoxious the physical card game would be. Well done fellas.
I didn't realize he hated at the gates of loyang... I thought I was alone on that 😁
Now a Tom Vassel strikes back video
I never had much trouble with passenger routing in On the Underground.. I rate it 7, short of Vasel's 9.
The thing is, so many of your points in that game come from manipulating the passenger to ride on your rails on your turn. So his table is only taking 15 seconds to play their track, and /then/ they're trying to figure out where the passenger goes, they're missing a significant portion of the game.
Dominant Species is a great game-Roy is dead wrong, lol.
It does have bad components tho
zeroisnine true but it doesn’t bother me that much, besides you can get upgrades from Meeple Source for a lot of money-lol.
Tom is right about the Tiny Epic games. It's not just the size.
Tom is definitely wrong about the the low rating on Brass Birmingham and Food Chain Magnate - two of my all-time favorites!
I looked at that Tiny Epic games once- they might be tiny, they might be epic, but they ain't cheap.
Not all area control games have to be dudes on a map with plastic toys. So yeah, Roy is wrong about Dominant Species. As a matter of fact, I think War of the Ring would be a better game (although not near as good as DS), if they would not have made it so confusing with all the plastic junk covering up the (huge, but still much to small for all the stuff) map. This inconvenience sucks up all the fun, I could have with this game.
Good video. Watching this and Mike's other videos, I think his taste is closest to mine at the Dice Tower now (Ryan Metzler's was even closer). Sentinels is my biggest white elephant.
Finally! It's fun that you have a humour to do this.
lol.....1 hour of dragging Tom Vasel. This was really funny. Tom is a good sport about it which makes chiding him fun.
Dominant Species is great Roy. Second Edition looks a little better.
Yes a Volcano can happen, but players control that, and you can vontrol the Volcano if you really wanted. You can also spread out to minimize being targeted and minimized it's effects.

Lol. There I was wondering what he meant by "jiff". 😅
Never-real 'naughtiness', but fun to watch. BTW Gates of Loyang is the best solo game Uwe ever designed.
I thought for certain Zee would have Onirim on this list, for all the grief Tom gives him about it. (It’s a great game!)
I totally agree with Mike on the City of Kings....Love this game and cannot believe Tom did not like it. I think he is missing something. Lots of strategy, great components (I got the miniatures), and fun mechanics. Not sure what else you could want.
