#dicetower #thedicetower #top100games - เกม
Finally finished watching this epic top 100. Very entertaining! Great job Mike, Zee and Tom. Loved all your lists, especially the people’s. Great gaming taste everyone.
Thank you guys for all your hard work on and off the screen! Such a fun Top 100, probably my favorite one you have done since I’ve been watching them.
Finally just finished the new Top 100. So much great content. Thank you Dice Tower!
I'm not in line with Tom a lot, but he's not wrong with Ready Set Bet. It wouldn't be my number one, but it brings me out of my heavy-euro shell and is fun every single time you play it. I think it also makes sense that all three of these guys have a "lighter" game as their number one. They play sooooo many games that it must feel like like a breath of fresh air when a less complex game has that 10/10 fun factor with high replayability, lower set-up time, meaningful choices, and a high success rate when teaching it to new players.
They have all 3 also been teachers by profession in the past, which supports your point. And another reason why I value the other hosts perspectives, I would love another A Team Top 100 or Top 10 of all time for that reason
My husband and I are OBSESSED with Ark Nova. Today I thought I was close to winning, so I slowed down my gameplay because I wanted the game to last longer and my husband ended up winning. I just kept wanting to play. How crazy is that?? Also, I am a very competitive person. I love love love it. Thanks for all your hard work guys! Very much appreciated!❤
yeah very very good game
Earth is the upgraded version... unless you like the game going way longer than it needs to
@@thomgizziz I wholeheartedly disagree. Just because a game is shorter doesn't mean it's better. And there's a degree to which depth and complexity enhance a game and bring more enjoyment to certain players. It can be too much for some. I love both. And think there's enough difference to warrant keeping both. Outside of reducing them to action selection nature games (which is pretty broad categorization... Wingspan would also fall into that genre) they play and feel very differently.
We actually have both and I don't feel the intensity or adrenaline rush, especially when it gets close to the end of game, as I do with Ark Nova. Earth is still a good game though, if I am in the mood for something more relaxing. Glad you are enjoying Earth!❤
@@thomgizziz let people enjoy things
I love the channel, and watch all the time. Thanks for what you do!
Love these videos - made a list of things to try. Super fun - thank you
I have played all the people’s top 10, love all of them. Agree with the DT that this list is a much better snap shot of likes than bgg
I wouldn't say it's better than the BGG list, it's just different.
BGG is weighted somewhat toward games that have been out long enough to get a lot of votes, but also have high average vote score.
Whereas the peoples' choice here in Dice Tower are surely biased toward the views of the hosts.
@@libertyprime9307 well I would say it’s a better list for suggesting games to people than bgg. I would much rather start with DT #1 and work my way down than the bgg list. Not to mention the redundancy issues of bgg. Don’t get me wrong I understand how bgg list works and its purpose I just this list is more useful.
Thanks to the fantastic team of the Dice Tower for this top 100! It was a great ride again, can't wait for next year.
Good stuff, adding almost 100 games to the list of games I should play this year!
How is the progress? 99 games left on the list? :D Or were you more sucessfull then I was?
Great and interesting content! I love how you slightly shifted your inclusion of the live chat to snappy short occasional comments, it's much less disruptive than in previous videos, makes it much easier to watch. Cheers!
Thank you! It was fun to see you together again!
Great job gentlemen! Have a great year!
These lists have been fun and funny too. Thanks dice tower
Thank you for the top 100! I think Zee's prediction still counts as you met your Kickstarter goal while I was watching this!
Great work as always! 👏👏👏
love these top 100, look forward to it every year
I look forward to the DT Top 100 every year! Four new #1s is pretty exciting.
Thanks again for providing so much joy with your videos!
Very nice top 100 , Tom you are awesome!!!!!❤
So awesome there were all new number 1s! Still most in line with Mike, but Zee is a close second, and he probably has the most games that I don’t have, but really want to try/buy. 51st state is definitely getting added soon, I hope. Sorry Tom!
But all of your excitement about Marvel United has me SO pumped to get my copy from Kickstarter. Super excited for the Civil War one. Easily one of my favorite Marvel movies. Anyway, thanks so much guys!
Dear DT, guests # intros are fun 🤩 thanks for preparing them 😊 happy gaming everyone 🎉
I've been catching up on these whilst playing Final Girl, so was super excited to hear its now Mike's No.7. Especially since I was first persuaded to play it when Mike talked about it in a previous year's top 100
Great list as ever. Always a lil sad when these finish, though they'll be other members top 100. Neat for all the changes - added more games to my want to play 😅
Very enjoyable, some interesting suprises.
The only one I haven't played from the people's choice top 10 is Spirit Island, and I actually plan on playing it on Sunday! And aside from Viticulture and Scythe, all the others are in my top 100 as well.
I want to go on the cruise! One day soon I will fly over to America from Australia to see it for the first time and I will go on the cruise while I am there!
I had non-boardgame friends invite me to a daytime New Year’s Eve pajama “mimosas and boardgame” party. They asked everyone to bring a game and I brought my new copy of Ready Set Bet, which I had just unwrapped… that is all we played. Of the 8 people, only 1 had played “heavy board games” before (catan 😂), but all of them were obsessed with RSB from the outset. I ran the horses and played the first round without the VIP or prop bets, but after each round they asked for more complexity and by the end of the fourth round we were playing the full game and everyone was sweating, stressed, and having an amazing time. RSB isn’t Ark Nova, Scythe, or Twilight Imperium (obviously), but it is an amazing game that can transition anyone from Monopoly and Battleship to new, somewhat complex board games in about 30 min. Completely agree with Tom, and I’m just glad I got my copy before they sell out nationwide. Thanks dice tower, still the best after over a decade!!
Great story! Sounds like a great time.
A few Yeats ago now, I played dead of winter with a couple of new people and was told they never played a game like that. They loved it. Modern board games are in the majority a delight ( subject to theme preference and what not)
I really enjoyed the top 100 this year! Awesome stuff. I need to play more Marvel United.
Project Elite RULES! Great game, and a constant choise of Tom to his Top lists! Pure adrenaline to the core!
Just ordered a used copy after watching this video. Sounds like I will scratch that starship troopers itch!
Thanks guys. That was fun.
Funny that Brass Birmingham is not on this list at all
**Sarah McLachlan plays** "For just one simple kickstarter donation, you can ensure a Mike Dilisio receives the care and treatment he needs. Please think of the Dilisios and pledge today."
Zee, So glad to see that The Others is still in your top 10. One of my favorite games as well.
I love Mind MGMT. It shot straight to my no 1 spot. Being able to play it purely cooperative, with the App as Mind MGMT, makes it a good couples game, which increases play time significantly.
Glad you said that! I'm going to look into it...
Great list, as always! It was fun to see four #1 shake-ups after having been stable for several years. One thing I noticed, though. Did Tom forget about Planet Unknown? I was shocked not to see it on his list, and when it came up for the people at #87, he even mentioned that he was trying to see where he put it on his list. @thedicetower
Pretty sure Planet Unknown was lower on his list... Possibly in the 60's or 70's
Yeah definitely in the bottom half
Very interesting that most of the top 10 of the people have great solo options. I played 8 of them solo and loved them.
Marvel United is my no.1 in 2023 too! Loved all of your top 10! Awesome picks!
Same here. After how much content I’ve played through so seamlessly and get a puzzle-like fun experience it’s become an easy choice
Wow, all four have new number ones. I can't wait for next year to see if they stay at number one. So I think Tom is winner of these (his) ten games. I thank TDT for doing these videos, they fun to watch.
Thanks for the kickstarter shout out in this episode!
Woohoo! Great video to be called out on. I'm happy for you Evan!
"Dube" Imperium sounds interesting.
This was a great top 100. Very entertaining!
I think Mike said on the earlier lists, that he currently culls games that are too big boxwise.
I have that same issue with dwellings of eldervale to be honest. Great game, but the box is just is too damn big
Mike saying “have you ever had a guava filled chocolate” and then Zee confounding Tom with the immediate “have you ever had a chocolate filled guava?” And 26:35 😂 Zee is quieter than some but him and Mike together is hilarious
Really glad you guys put Marvel Champions in your top 10 and I see why. It’s my favorite game and I don’t see that stopping anytime soon.
All people's choice games are really great. Good list people
Got scared there for a second, thinking that Ready Set Bet is gone out of Tom's list. It's one of my all time favorites as well.
Ark Nova is a great game. Even though it’s long I always feel sad when it ends because there’s always so much more I want to do when I play. But the joy me and my wife have showing our zoos off to one another makes up for it and the games are usually pretty close.
Marvel United from Zee is also great to see. I have way too much of it and would like to edit down my collection, especially with season 4 delivering this year and the much speculated DC United potentially coming. My heart wants it all but our shelves definitely don’t. Regardless, I love the game and it probably hovers around my top 3 along with Ark Nova.
Fun top 100 this year, looking forward to more content from the dice tower crew this coming year!
Mike, I know you got razzed for putting Cthulhu Wars in your top 10 essential games, but what happened to it?
It’s not in your top 100? Did I miss it?
Can someone tell, how people's choice is measured? Was there a poll at Dice Tower website, facebook or BGG, or sold copies from publishers & retailers?
I absolutely love marvel United. I’ve played over 50 games and still love it a lot and haven’t seen half the content.
lol, I think I see a gamblers anonymous intervention in Toms future.
Yay, Tom and I now have the same number two board games of all time! Now I just have to wait for his number 41 (I think it was 41) to rise 40 places. I can wait. I'm patient.
Lot's of games out there. Not one will click with everyone. My top #10
1. Spirit Island
2. Imperium Legends/Classics - Horizons coming next month with 14 more civs
3. Anachrony
4. Everdell
5. Planet Unkowns
6. Palandis of the West Kingdom
7. Dice Throne
8. Empires of the North
9. Merchants Cove
10. Raiders of the North Sea
When I ranked my games with Pub Meeple, my #1 surprised me: Stone Age. But it's really a flawless classic with lots of luck and lots of strategy: it makes for basically a perfect game.
"You Don't need to make a chick tract about me"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great list, very surprised by the changes. Was Cry Havoc on Tom's top 100 I dont remember hearing it?
No it wasn't
DC United is funding right now and it shows United is Zee's #1 game of all time. What's wild is that when he reviewed it a few years ago he gave it a 7! I like Batman more than anyone in Marvel so I'm gonna jump in and finally check out this United system.
Story Tiles Top 10 of All Time has shifted a bit this year as well:
10 Sleeping Gods (the original still outshines Distant Skies, mostly cuz it feels more expansive and adventure by boat? Perfection. My favourite open world game.)
9 Okko Chronicles (feudal japanese fantasy horror after the French graphic novel series, stunning table presence, miles ahead of others in this subgenre like Forbidden Fortress)
8 Arkham Horror: TCG (strongest LCG with huge character-event-location synergy with just cards. Thematically atmospheric. Great variety in stories. Huge world to explore)
7 Skull Tales: Full Sail! (best all-around pirate-themed experience in a board game. Adventure campaign and exploration by ship and on foot as a dungeon crawler.)
6 Folklore: the Affliction (still the best RPG-in-a-box feel of playing D&D as a board game. Lovely zoom-in battles and several campaigns to play through)
5 Trudvang Legends (with the Chronicles RPG the most Lord of the Rings feeling you will get. Easy to play, engaging stories. Evocative sculpts. Effortless fun)
4 Middara: Act 1 (the best split dungeon crawler-and-story campaign with personal touches, gorgeous art and graphic design and more is coming...eventually)
3 Tainted Grail (this world is expanding with King of Ruins and the RPG. It is gloriously dark and mythological)
2 Mansions of Madness 2nd Edition (AH:TCG cubed! Atmosphere up the wazoo. Lovecraftian scenarios that will haunt your evenings as doom reveals itself)
1 Tanares Adventures (this Dragonlance-feelling epic campaign blows every other adventure game out of the water. Huge on story, character variety interaction and growth, an RPG to build out the world and hundreds of hours of adventuring old-school D&D-like but...with style and gloss. Love it)
I still hate Ark Nova (and nobody can change my mind) but I love those guys and their list!
Yes, it sucks.
@Mike - Have you played Priests of Ra? Same core mechanisms as Ra, but a new tile set, that is possibly better?
Did Tom have HeroScape on his list? I don’t recall seeing it and thought it was one of his top games.
Did you guys play Voidfall? Can't otherwise understand, how would it not end up on top of your lists... It has become favorite game of almost everyone in our group
Endless love to Cosmic Encounter, great picks
The beauty about Marvel United it is so easy to get onto the table!
Can we have an episode where you talk about the people's choice beyond the top 100, especially the 100-250 spots. They are still relevant and there are more than 100 good/interesting games! 😊
Zee has come a long way since his initial review of Marvel United…
Ha ha I noticed that too. To be fair, I think that review was of ONLY the base game, which does leave an impression of “…is that it?” a little bit. Once you start plugging and playing and seeing the depth of the system does it really open up.
So glad Cthulhu Death May Die have some love🖤🌖💀 Such a great thematic coop with epic moments 🐙
Like Mike, I was turned onto Matt Kindt's work after owning Mind MGMT. He's actually my favorite comic creator now. His works feature nods to some of my other favorite artists - which keeps me ravenously hungry for more and more!!!! I'm like a junkyard dog in heat - I can't get enough hahaha
How frequently does Matt release new comics. And is he just the artist or writer too?
"I'm like a junkyard dog in heat"
What is wrong with you? That was totally unrelated and you aren't just around your friends. Get a grip.
@@JonReid01 Since his Dark Horse Imprint, Flux House, was started, he's releasing at least one issue of a project per month. But he's frequently got multiple projects going at once. Check him out
@@thomgizziz Dang thom! You mean 😁 I was under the impression everyone on TH-cam was my friend. So, from one friend to another: take a deep breath big boy. Sounds like you were having a bad night last night. Hope your having a better day today
Where would you guys rank Spellbound by the Lamont Brothers also any thoughts on this game
Mike keeps saying: "This game is very unique".
Very nice Game Cover behind you in purple…. What is this Game called? Nice Show btw😊
While I admit it can be fun, I still think C:DMD is a glorified Yahtzee with miniatures.
People's choice at the end, for number 3 says dube imperium lol
Top 10 Modern Classics
I hear Ct'hul'hu crossover, and can only think, oh no, he has sunk so low to becoming his own SUV.
I think Ark Nova pulled in a lot of the people that liked Terraforming Mars, plus more due to the more popular theme. It did for me at least. I loved Ark Nova, but never really played Mars. The theme helped a great deal in getting me to purchase it. And now it's my favourite game easily; despite being one of the heavier games in my collection (I'm more a mid weight euro gamer). Going back to play TM, I found it's just not as compelling (I'm def biased having played AN first).
Bulgaria is pretty nice - but a long way from Iceland - but if any of you get to Sofia - it will be amazing
I so want to upgrade my copy of Ready Set Bet with a better racetrack. I haven’t seen Tom’s but I hear it’s great.
With your love of running Read Set Bet, I'm shocked you still haven't tried to run Blood on the Clocktower, Tom.
It's a very different kind of "running a game" from Ready Set Bet but you definitely have fun viewing people scratching their heads/stressing out/squirming (all in good ways) from the plays of the players AND you as the one running the game
I was thinking about getting Marvel United to play with my family, but I think when it first came out they did a foursquare review and everybody except Tom gave it around a seven. Anyone know the reason it jumped to the top of their lists? Just more content?
The base Avengers game kinda sucked. Fortunately, since then there's been new "Base Boxes" (Or I guess you'd call them stand-alone expansions) that have drastically improved the game. The one even shown on the clip is ACTUALLY X-Men base game. There's also a new Spidergeddon "Base Box" which is probably only recommended if you're a heavier gamer. It's still light on rules, but the characters have a bit too much meat on them for a casual audience. Whereas X-Men base box has a good mix of light and heavy-ish characters.
And you can buy both base boxes too if you like the heroes of the first box, you can mix and match whatever you want
Earth is at which rank on Mike's list? He was all about it last year.
Always wondered… where does the People’s Choice list actually come from?
They had a voting poll on their website in December which you could go to and vote for your top 25 or so favourite games.
Ra is so great. I never want to win the first auction because I never want the 1 😅
Pro tip, when playing RSB have everyone name the horses by brainstorming or pulling out of a hat. The longer the names the better
The app makers are waiting for Apple to make a phone capable of running the Dominion app so they CAN release it on ios. 😂😂😂
Wow, Tom has summoner wars still in his top 10. Incredible how it came out about the same time as Mage Wars which has disappeared but Summoner Wars still keeps going strong.
Don't worry, Tom. I also have a big head. Most hats don't fit me lol. I'm lucky enough to have a Harry Potter beanie that glows in the dark
Glad to hear that Canada is your best country! Keep up the good work guys!
Can you explain how highly rated expansions, such as Terraforming Mars: Prelude and Viticulture: Tuscany, rank in comparison with or fit within the top 100?
Watching this in February 2024. I have played Wingspan over 10 times on BGA and do not care much for it. One opponent actually told me you won't win if you don't get lucky. The dice for food, the luck of the draw not only for the birds but also for the bonus cards, and even randomness for the round goals--which ties into luck of the draw--all make this game not that fun for me. Not interested in Ark Nova now; I am learning Gizmos and then want to learn Kingdomino on BGA after recently learning Ancient Knowledge! I do have Viticulture Tuscany Essential Edition!
Question - where can I see a little consolidated list of the Top 100? It’s been fun watching all the videos, but I just want a list now . . . For research purposes . . .
If you google "dice tower top 100 2024 reddit", someone has made a great post consolidating their lists and has past year's lists linked too
They post the lists on their website (although it might take some time).
They group the lists by tens (just like the videos, which they link to as well), so you have to click through them a bit.
Tom is the only YT reviewer I've seen that does not like CDMD.
OK, didn't expect all those new number ones. Wingspan being dethroned is crazy!
I think Ark Nova being available on BGA as well helps. It's been played more than games several years old there, it's the most played currently on BGA, most plays recorded monthly on BGG (granted, some of those are recorded from BGA through the BG Stats app), and it just got a very appreciated expansion.
Wingspan shouldn't be anywhere near the top 10 IMO.
It's not in my own top 10, but it's accessible, has a good theme, and the gameplay is good even if not outstanding by my criteria. It doesn't surprise me to see it so high.
My top 10.
1Dead Reckoning
2Dwellings of Eldervale
3Mythic Battles
4Cascadia
5Marvel United
6Massive Darkness 2
7Lands of Galzyr
8Everdell
9Dice Throne
10Nemesis
Glad to see some love for Cthulhu DMD, cannot wait for seasons 3 and 4!
That’s how Zee’s grandfather did it and that’s how Zee does it. it goes without saying that that trait of necessity skips a generation.
Yes!!! Ark Nova finally passed Wingspan! I knew we could do it! 💪
The Others Vs Valor and Villainy? (Considering that it's nigh impossible to get everything for The Others these days)
Please rank everything in marvel United please.
24:20 I am from Costa Rica and can confirm that rumors about our guava chocolates are completely true 🍫
“You dont need to make a chick tract about me”😂🤣😭 haven’t heard that in a while. However you do have to preface that with some people when talking about board games.
