    Tom, Zee, and Mike (and all The Dice Tower crew) - you're all awesome! Among other things, I appreciate Zee's wit and storytelling ability, Mike's cheese and thoughtfulness, and Tom's energy. My gaming tastes align more often with Mike, but everyone there has great taste. I want to shine on Tom, for a minute. Tom is the #1 reason I keep coming back to this channel, usually on the daily. Many other reasons to like the channel, but it wouldn't exist without Tom, so yeah. Tom's enthusiasm, drive, delivery, vast experience and knowledge, and just genuine good vibes are what, well...keep me coming back. It is interesting - Tom is older than me, but sometimes he seems like a big kid to me. You know, frequently that child-like energy will be tamped down in childhood, due to various reasons. Well, Tom's still got that energy. He's super upfront and confident with who he is, and where he's at, and I appreciate that vibe. I don't always appreciate that quality in people. If he was an upfront jerk, I wouldn't be writing this. Tom seems like a great boss (I envy the DT crew), father, and genuinely good person. I try to surround myself with people I look up to, so I’m happy to have you all as guests in my house frequently throughout the week. Keep up the honesty, thoughtfulness, great humor, and good vibes, and I’ll keep coming around. Cheers!

    Zee and Mike are literally the most funny people in any boardgame channels. They are so funny that it feels so natural,no need stupid face expressions, pretend stupid, I love they make clever jokes with face remain like poker face. There are so many other boardgame youtubers try so hard to be “funny”, acting weird but it just turn out to be cringy. If people not funny, dont try to be, just like Tom, he is not always funny, but its very likeable and enthusiastic, make me want to watch him all the time.

    I love how board games are diverse enough and there's so many of them that these lists differ from person to person and even for 1 person it can differ depending on the day and mood.
    Thank you very much for introducing new and interesting games as well as mentioning ones worth getting that are older ( the Classics ).
    As someone who loves compiling a "Wishlist" but also not having enough money to buy all and also not enough time to do own research on most of these. It would REALLY help, if when describing the game or talking about it you could say, which player count it is meant for and what's it best at. It feels like you guys often do it but not for every game. I enjoy how everyone often chimes in and also say at which player count they like.

  • @namelessfire
    @namelessfire Před 2 lety +76

    While Zee's top 10 isn't the one I vibe with the most, I will say; his top 10 carries the most weight. Zee's does not get suckered in by new games very often. He likes what he likes and it takes a lot for something new to rank so highly. Marvel United making his number 8 is a big deal.

    • @georgepap8512
      @georgepap8512 Před 2 lety +2

      Not really .Like you said he likes what he likes and that's light games or medium light games that take 30-60 minutes and have tons of content and of course lot's of coops games. Also he loves 2 player games that combine the above things. Even though Marvel United is not a two player game is everything else (light and plays fast) so I would have been surprised if this game didn't make his top 100. I agree that his list is the most consistent year after year but I think you are viewing this from the wrong angle. Is more surprising that games like The Manhattan Project Energy Empire or Power Grid make or made his list for so many years ,that this year had a lot of Felds games and of course that after many many many years Fury of Dracula wasn't on Zee's list

    LOVE that you're still keeping strong with Outlive, Mike.
    It was my favourite game I didn't own and was a grail game for a long time (Collector's Ed) until I got lucky and jumped on a copy being sold by someone locally that wasn't even unpunched and for about the same price as the retail game!
    There's so much I love about this game, and it's a true hidden gem that doesn't get the love it deserves. The tension in timing out on the main board and the puzzle in which strength workers you're going to move where, and when is just brilliant, as is how your turns then tie into the next turn because you need to be mindful of blocking yourself. Then there's the whole bunker phase and making the most out of building that out while ensuring your people are looked after. Oh so good!
    I agree that the CE does suffer from component fiddliness, especially with the workers, but I'm going to paint them up next to help alleviate the issue, as I can't go back to using the meeples, even if they are clearer.

    Just a small sidenote on outlive minis that are too hard to tell, the number of people on the minis is the same as the strength of the mini and there is a large number on the back of the mini. I know its not as easy to tell apart as a meeple with a distinguished number printed on, but there are visual cues that youl get used to :) So strenght 4 mini has 4 people and, strength 3 has 3 people on it, in case you missed that part :)

    Interesting list. there are some games here that we like, some we don't, and some (a lot) we don't know! One of the things we (my wife and I) prefer is a game where you don't know who's won until after it's finished; we don't like games where it's first to an arbitrary finishing line. So we love Terraforming Mars and dislike Viticulture. We've also realised that we don't get on with co-operative games, so we've never liked (or been able to get anywhere with) Spirit Island, whereas we like Duel.

    Breaking games has stated multiple times on the dwellings of eldervale forum that they are working on a reprint of all dwellings of eldervale content. I believe it's mostly a retail reprint so it should be more widely available sometime this year, but some of the kickstarter content will be available most likely from their website. I'm assuming on that last bit cuz they haven't clarified. They said to keep an eye out for a newsletter releasing sometime soon.

    Spirit island is the most amazing puzzle. The invaders are predictable and linear in power. The spirits grow exponentially. I love the idea of stalling and treading water until you can finally make some big moves and take back control of the island. It's so rewarding to succeed and such a brain burner I feel incredibly accomplished after a win.

      I've only played base Spirit Island and loved its puzzle, but some others in my group were demoralized by the difficulty and prone to paralyzing AP. I just picked up Branch and Claw, which I've read--in terms that are probably a bit hyperbolic--"changes Spirit Island from a puzzle to a game." I'm excited to see how it feels with some more randomness and tactical decisions so it's not "just" an optimization puzzle.

I am starting to maybe regret the choice of getting rid of it so fast, but we were moving across the country and needed to purge some games before them move. It does not help that I forgot to add my thoughts on it so no way to look back. Maybe if there is ever another KS for it I will buy it again.

    I’ve been playing a ton of Wingspan the last couple weeks, and it has a great similarity to gin rummy, spades, or bridge. Relatively easy to learn, some RNG, but much more skill than it seems. Just look at the weekly Automa challenge. It’s a prebuilt deck that is the same every time. The challenge is to get the most points. I’ve tried about ten times, and have maxed out at 95 points. The current leader scored 140 points.

I’ve always found that a little strange. I enjoy both Dune and Arnak equally, for different reasons, so it just seems weird.
      Hopefully we’ll see a Top 100 series for Camilla, Roy, Wendy, and Chris. It would be very enjoyable I’m sure. Good personalities and chemistry there. I believe that there is talk of that depending on their fundraiser.

      Yes, they both combine the same 2 core mechanisms, but I think the reason they are compared so much and will be for at least the next few years is because they released at the same time. Very few gamers are going to buy 2 games that close together that fill the same space in their collections, so we all sort of compared them back in 2020 and bought the one that had that extra little thing that aligned more to our taste. It's a bit like how two different publishers released Back to the Future games at the same time...you'd have to be a MEGA fan of the IP to consider them both.

    • @levirichardson7848

      @@Bonzoso21 I get it. It’s gonna be a thing. I bought them both pretty close together and played them both several times. They may both have cards and workers but the FEEL very different and that’s what makes them different. I don’t get that feeling of chaining actions to just keep taking turns in Dune. Because you literally can’t. You are limited to workers and that’s it. There are even times you may choose to pass on placing a third worker in order to buy first. Arnak is about extending your turn as much as possible by making choices that build off of each other. Like I said, I get that it’s going to be a thing but they are just so different. I guess it’s also probably people who haven’t played both games that are usually the ones making the comparison. No biggie. It’s just games.

    Top 10 Games that Play Better at *Higher* Player Counts is a great idea. I'll chime in with mine... Pandemic (or Forbidden Island). These two feel similar to me, in that the 3-player and 4-player games feel similar (enough), but the 2-player game feels like a different game (to me). I've thought about it.. the only thing that I can come up with is that not every player (in a 3- or 4-player game) has to cure a disease or find a treasure. In a 2-player game of Pandemic, both players almost have to cure two diseases, or you're toast.
