First time seeing Liz. And I have to say, she knocked it out of the park!! Wonderful chemistry with the others. She brought unique opinions to the table; even putting some new games on my radar! She also has great timing; both with the comedic bits, as well as the game discussion! Well done!
Totally agree! I’ve watched as many of their top tens as I can find, and this is probably my favorite!
Yeah, a great guest!

Dice Tower:
Thank you so much for making this!!
Not only was it incredibly entertaining, but I really appreciate the panel including people who are passionate about this niche style within a niche hobby.
Hope to see more solo thoughts/reviews from Liz, Mike and Zee in the future! 😊👍👍👍
Same! Really enjoying the dynamics with guests.
good humour with this mix
Hear hear!
The Dice Tower knocked it out of the park, again. Like the Top 100 quartet this year, what a great show this was. Tom, you’re a networking genius!
This one of the best DT videos I have seen in a while. They are really having fun and the opinions are diverse.
I am really loving the content so far this year. The Dice Tower has always had such a great sense of humor. Now the production value has leveled up and can be used to bring even more fun to these videos and streams. Wonderful stuff. Thanks!
So nice to see Mage Knight get some love on a Dice Tower top 10!
Starting around #6(33:10) the drugs really started kicking in and they got all kinds of goofy. This is great banter and fun. It's why I like watching DT videos.
Man, I always do the same with the DT videos 🙃
@@Macthulhu84 Hahaha, a lot of assumptions here
I'm glad to see my favorite game (Mage Knight) being mentioned in a top 10 list of the dice tower.
I solo game 80% of the time and enjoy a lot of the content I've come across from Liz Davidson. I'm almost 2 years late but this was a great panel discussion on solo games!
As a solo gamer, I found this thoroughly entertaining. 😃
I've gotta say - I'm liking Liz's list the best. Hostage Negotiator, Nemo's War, Sentinels! Spirit Island! best picks. I've been thinking about getting an Aeon's End big box for awhile. Hmm... makes me eager to crack some of those out right now!
Won me over with the Thunderbolt Apache Leader pick. Love DVG's Leader series, but it seems many people doing Top 10 lists haven't tried them.
Ah yes! Finally Mage Knight getting the love it deserves! When Liz started to say "This IS the best solo game ever!" I dared to hope she would say Mage Knight. :)
Mike, thx for giving The City of Kings the love it deserves, and I'll be checking out that Outlive game.
Zee, you seem to enjoy the light, quick and accessible which hits the spot for so many solo gamers. I simply enjoy watching your work on camera, just fun banter, always.
And Liz, with you on MK. All. The. Way. No game I've played, in one sitting, gives me a more satisfying sense of progression. Not even close.
Thanks for the great video, y'all were lots of fun to watch!
This is by far the most fun I've had watching a Dice Tower top 10. Great tone and banter :D
I’ve been excited for this list all week, and it didn’t disappoint. Thank you all so much for putting it together!
Been waiting for this list for soooo long! Thanks so much for listening to the comments and for doing this video! So glad they brought in Liz, she was so funny and I loved that her choices were different.
Elaina P Thanks for the shout-out! :)
Thank you for representing the solo community. It really is diverse.
For the interested, solo Euros are extremely popular, Uwe Rosenberg (Nusfjord is my favorite), Terraforming Mars, Viticulture, Teotihuacan are just a few of the many excellent options out there for those looking for a longer, but manageable solo game (45-90 mins).
+1 for Terraforming Mars
This was great, I'm so happy to see Liz on here :) Yay for more solo gaming love!!
Scythe was my first foray into solo games. I loved the challenge, it's amazing.
Liz, I'm right there with you. MageKnight is my number one OF ALL TIME! LOTR LCG is number two for me so given your excellent taste I am hunting down a copy of Hoplomachus as I believe this was also Ricky Royal's number one as well.
Excellent episode, and some really great chemistry between the three!
Great video. I am always glad when solo gaming gets more attention and it was great seeing the three of you together talking about it.
Regarding other good solo games I would personally mention: Zombicide: Black Plague/Green Horde (you need to handle multiple characters, but it is very easy to do), Roll Player (simple automated opponent but it gives you a good sense of the game) and Runebound 3rd Edition (with the Unbreakable Bonds Expansion, my favorite solo adventure game).
There are also several deck builders that include good solo modes like Thunderstone Advance, VENOM Assault (which I actually think works better solo) and Hero Realms (I know a lot of people find the Tibus solo mode simplistic, but I actually thinks makes a good job at simulating an automated opponent, perfect for a quick deckbuilding experience).
Last but not least, also a deckbuilder of sorts, and probably my current favorite (with over 200 plays in the year or so since I have it) is Helionox: Deluxe Edition. A fantastic deckbuilder with a lot of innovations that gives you a lot of options each turn, great science fiction art and a simple to handle but very challenging automated opponent. Worth checking out.
I own the first release of Helionox and I enjoy it an awful lot, what did the Deluxe Edition deliver?
@@isaacalien It adds a pick up and delivery element that allows you to get extra credits (only usable in the market) and illegal tech (very powerful cards that give you one negative point each time you use them and 3 negative points if you still have them by the end of the game), as well as cargo requests that give extra victory points. I also adds some new alternative locations and competitive and collaborative missions, as well as a revised solo mode.
The pick up and delivery element is fantastic because it opens the game even more, allowing you to use any unused credit to get cargo and that cargo to get even more credits and illegal tech, which gives you more options as well as speeding your deck.
It also introduces more things to pay attention to in the solo mode since any requests and missions you fail to complete, and any illegal tech still on the board will give points to the automated opponent.
"I like it! It good game!" -Mike DeLisio 2020
I love Sentinels of the Multiverse although I've almost always played it via the app which takes care of all the book keeping.
Agree 100% with Liz. Mage Knight's complexity in rules and components adds a lot of depth and breadth to the experience and hence why other games have yet to reach heights as high. A solo conquest scenario session takes me about 3 hours including setup and shuffling all those component stacks.
Liz you did great! Don't let Señor Garcia intimidate you: he's tough like jerky on the outside, but soft and gentle like a melted gummy bear on the inside.
Chris Musix I sometimes don’t know how to respond to such staggering bad taste. ;)
My top 5 solo : wingspan, too many bones, scythe, gloomhaven,elder sign
This was a great top ten. I'm loving the new personalities present, even though I miss Sam. Keep up the great new content, Dice Tower!
Nemo’s war awesome solo experience in my top five solo games ...plus plenty of extras now available to give it even more interesting decision points ...
Liz love that you gave some love to Thunderbolt Apache Leader!!! Amazing game and also in my top 10. Have you ever lost a pilot in a single die role? Brutal.
Kevin McDonald Yes, RIP Pirate.
LOVE Dice Tower videos. Also it is my first time seeing Liz and she is so sweet! What a great vibe :D
I went all in on the Hostage Negotiator kickstarter because of Liz's playthroughs!
I loved the short minibreaks with Tom hahahahaha
Mike! You are the men man! After the top 40's, I was only hoping you'd maintain this energy. Really happy with what you bring to these videos! Haven't seen much of Liz, also happy with how you present yourself, create confidence.
The solo dream team!!
More Liz!! Love her chemistry with everyone
Great line up. I was confused by Tom being there initially (as of course was the point). Great to see you here Liz, and Mike as always.
I really appreciate the Liz, Mike, and Zee being knowledgeably about solo games. For some past top 10s, you could tell when one of the three guys was phoning it in, just because the topic wasn't for them (I don't blame them, but this new format is definitely stronger and just as funny).
Thank Goodness for Liz! Top 6 Liz were great choices, especially Mage Knight! I'm a very different gamer than Mike and Zee. Clearly they want to setup a game, play it and move on. One of the biggest advantages of solo gaming is you can play bigger games, you can play campaign games. I'm really surprised (well not really considering their tastes), but I would have loved to see some bigger campaign type games like Too Many Bones, Middara, Kingdom Death:Monster, Gloomhaven, Sword & Sorcery, Shadows of Brimstone ...
Was thinking the same thing. Solo allows breaking up a big game into smaller time commitments which is a big reason I like solo. Even with a game like Spirit Island, I can leave it out and play a game making only a few turns here and there while doing other chores.
It's about damn time Sentinels showed back up on a Dice Tower Top 10 list. It doesn't get nearly enough love considering how amazing the design is.
I love that the Dice Tower is following the trend with solo games 🙂
Entertaining intro and running joke with Tom. Great job, Liz! Loved the banter.
Liked Liz in Board Game Breakfast, LOVE her in this, totally in her element.
Great show! Thanks for giving solo play some love guys! Best special guest ever? Maybe.
Mage Knight is juste awesome. So great. I approve.
I was waiting at the end of the video where it shows everyone's list, to show Tom's list: 1. Gloomhaven 2. Uno 3. Video Games
Probably the funniest Dice Tower episode I ever watched.
Great hosts! Great lists! Great video!
Liz did great. Love her picks, top to bottom. And Nemo's War is a stellar choice for a list like this, I was blown away by how good it was.
My favorite game to play solo is Wingspan. I just got the clockwork expansion for root, and I’m excited to play that. Also I think one of the best designed solo variantis viticulture. Because it has what a lot of the games you all listed has, which is a very simple turn structure. Very much feels like the regular game, and I like that.
Love it! “Thanks for keeping my seat warm!!”
Liz' comments on Thunderbolt Apache were right on. Especially that wargames are just games, nothing stopping you from getting in. It's essentially a tactical RPG.
Dice Tower, you guys and girls are great. Doing such a good job since Sam quit. Miss him a bunch, but these episodes are great. Keep it up 😀
Good chemistry in this panel guys. Nicely done.
Great video. Loved having liz on here with Mike and getting their perspective, learned a lot about different games. I'm buying coffee roaster for instance. Also glad Zee keeps bringing up my bag Arkham horror lcg *hugs his deck boxes*
Liked this comment mainly for the Toshiro Mifune avatar. You have excellent taste!
@@merasmussen82 *nods while scratching chin*
Great seeing Liz! Excellent lists all around.
Good to See Nemo's War on one list, though for me that is maybe my number 1, but also City of Kings, which is another favorite of mine. Not surprised by Liz's pick of Mage Knight, that is also in my top solo games. Recently I have come across Machina Arcana which is a fun solo. Good to see Zee picking AH LCG, no list would complete without it. Strangely Raiders of the North Sea as a solo experience, my wife and I love the game, solo it is OK, but prefer it at 3-4 player counts. One game they missed, in my opinion, is Dawn of the Zeds should have been on someone's list.
YES Liz! Sentinels is so great. A lot of bookkeeping for sure but I've lost count how many times I've played this solo. So thematically rich. The only game I see making this fall for me is Champions
Daniel Keim You have excellent taste. ;)
I really like the chemistry between these three. I hope to see more of this mix
Absolutely agree! If I could only play one game for the rest of my life, it would be Mage Knight!
Very entertaining video! I thought the trio of Zee, Liz, and Mike played very well off one another.
This trio rocks! I'd love more lists by this group. Great dynamics. Well done!
I am new to hobby boardgaming and I am getting into the solo games. Been neck deep in Arkham Horror for a few weeks now. Still have three characters I haven't played yet and the story has not gotten old for me yet. If I want to kill a few minutes I play Catan: The Dice Game and just try to beat my high score. It was such a solid buy for $9.99. Can't wait to try others.
Thanks for all this content!
My Top 10 Solo Games would constantly change throughout the year. I’ve played so many great solo games, its amazing and there is no sign of things slowing down.
One of my favorite top ten! Super fun to watch!
Thank you for the stream, I enjoyed it and it looks like you guys had a great time as well. Thank you for cover solo games, these type of games mean a lot to me as well as coop. Also this is great for my games to buy via tracking on BBG. Thanks again, looking forward to the next stream : )
I noticed this in the chat and it was a good point. Top 10 Solo games... the day before Valentine's HAHA! Was that intentional?
Love Tom's contribution to this Top 10 list! 😁😆😂
I love the dynamic between these guys!
This was such an awesome top 10, didn't really know Liz but really enjoyed hearing about her choices! Definitely going to start watching her reviews now.
Brilliant episode, best top 10 ever! Because Liz is awesome. Great dynamic with the DT crew. Pleeeze bring Liz back into the studio again.
IMO this has been the best top ten you have ever made, thank you
This video was such a blast. I'm late to the party, but had so much fun watching this. Hope to see more with Zee, Mike, & Liz (& Tom) in the future.
I love this trio together. Liz fits right in so well.
Amazing video! Great participation of Liz specially!
I love that Liz picked games I’ve never heard of. Now I have some research to do.
I already love Liz Davidson, but she earns so many point in my book for including Thunderbolt Apache Leader!
Mike I'm 100% in agreement. Raiders is amazing with the solo deck.
Would love an update on the list with this group!
Mike's hilarious (1:18:41): "Oh, it's sprawling ... oh, it's big" (smile).
My top games to play solo would be something like Gaia Project, Terraforming Mars, Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective, Wingspan, This War of Mine, Black Angel, Pandemic, Mage Knight and Viticulture i think.
I just love Liz taste in games btw! Games that noone would name!
You NEED to do more of these with this line up. My three favourite solo reviewers all in one room!!
Loved this video. Would be nice to see an update in the future, perhaps top 5 solo for the year.
Liz definitely had the most interesting list 👌

10 - Iron Helm
9 - 51st State Master Set

Raiders solo variant is available as an app now. Easy to use, cheap, nice animation and soundtrack. Great solution from Garphill!
Liz is a great addition! I really enjoy her reviews. I have been having a lot of fun with wargames solo. D-day at Tarawa is a brilliant design. Wars of Marcus Aurelius is also very good-Liz gave it a positive review too. From these lists, I want to get my hands on Coffee Roaster. I like Mike’s pick of Port Royal as well.
I just started playing Arkham Horror and I love it.
This was a well done top ten list. There was a number of games I had not thought of as solo that I will now try out.
Wish they’d do another one….Mike can still do it even from far away. I liked this trio..really like Liz.
Please get Liz back for an updated 2022 list!
Sylvion is my favorite oniverse, and solo game, ever! Zee your list is either on my wish list or on my small shelf! Crazy!!
Raiders of the North Sea got a recreation on the switch that comes with a single player mode and its only 20$. It came out on all the consoles and there is cross-platform multiplayer if you want that as well.
There I was taking screen shots of each game only to find the 3 top 10 lists at the end.🤣 Great entertaining vid. Very handy for lockdown. Cheers 👍
Awesome first pick Mike, it's my favorite too!
I don’t play a lot of solo games, but I really enjoy the automa in Wingspan. The new game Isle of Cats also has a good solo game in it.
just droping by to leave a comment cuz i watched the stream ;) The show was awesome stayed all the way even if i only played scythe one time solo XD ty Guys as always
Tom really wants to step out of the solo closet. It's ok Tom to play alone. Ask Liz and Mike. Go #1PlayerGuild
James Brazeal I’m eager to share, even though that is counter-intuitive in solo gaming! It’s www.hiddenterritories.com Any thoughts?
Under Falling Skies is my fav, so replayable, so deep, so many meaningful choices, it's also really fun and random in a rogue-like kinda way ( you can randomly assign cities and characters between different campaigns for interesting combinations). Adore the game and recommend it to anyone.
