This is top 1 of the top 10 best boardgames of 2020 lists. So much science went into this. More science, I believe, than ever before. Yet the dicey person manages to present the facts in a fun and acessible way. Science done right.
You're a total hoot. I'd forgotten that and clicked on this video expecting serious content. (Which is the best possible set up, really.) Thanks for this.

@@jonathanross149 They sure have. There was a time, long ago, when we used visit other people in the Outside... Long ago... *drifts off, lost in remembering...*
Really enjoy your videos, always make me laugh. Recently started slowly working my way through all the DxM podcasts after Mathew mentioned them on a live stream with Rodney.
A lot of people read the Castles of Tuscany rule book from left to right. However, you have to read it from right to left as stated by one of the hidden riddles in the small text in the credits of the rule book. If you read it correctly you discover that you actually play as the lions in the castle playing their own version of The Bachelor.
Super impressed you brought out "Shores of Tripoli" in you top game that teaches you something! I would have nominated "One Small Step" in that category but I am admittedly biased. I enjoy your videos! Keep up the good work!!
This was so funny! Best top 10 I’ve seen yet. I’m still waiting for the day I eat a Wingspan egg by mistake... Now I want to rank my games into paulagories too.
Great list. I have been staring at Santa Monica on my shelf of opportunity for months and also would like to play Forgotten Waters. Here is my top ten list of your top category titles. Honorable Mention - Honorable Mention 10.Biggest Game of The Year 9. Game That Teaches You Something 8. Game That Makes You Want To Learn German 7. How Do I Pronounce The Name Of This Game 6. Game That Tricks You Into Feeling Nice. 5. Game That Inspires Me. 4. Game That Gave Me A Reason To Stay Home 3. The Unpopular Opinion. 2. Game I Lost(Real Bad). 1. Game I Wish I Could Eat.
Just have to say... Paula Deming for president of the known galaxy! I'm making buttons of this, the design will be mind numbing! Stay Awesome Paula mam!
i don't know if it was intentional or not but my favourite moment in this video is during the truffle shuffle bit when the edits kept making chocolate disappear and reappear in the box
Self-parody. This is what we call "genius". Well done, Paula. I also liked the commitment you make to your craft. Looks like you were working really hard to keep those truffles down.
Great List! Games that inspired me were Cthulhu Wars when dealing with the Washing Machine repair person and Mansions of Madness when going to the bank.
I've missed your videos Paula! Welcome back. An Honorable Mention really IS a way to get 11 items on a top 10 list. Also, no one knows how the algorithm works. Its all devil magic anyways.
AEG very kindly sent it to me and I'm very happy because John D. Clair is one of my favorite designers (and I got to try this one out while it was in its very late design stages as well)
Ah such a great list! We definitely make the same faces and reactions in Calico, which made our list too. We've been really enjoying Truffle Shuffle lately and it certainly makes us hungry. Thanks for being you, we always look forward to your videos.
Hey great Top! That's the first time I watch one of your videos. The algorithm worked! I like this kind of top 10! Btw, is the phone behind you an actual game?
Great cat content also THANK YOU FOR THE TELLER ONES LOVE. the game is the perfect Bar/brewery game and therefore, the perfect hipster game for us people.
Hmm, the biggest game of the year seems to bit more in the standard size. Oh and that Truffle Shuffle box is amazing since it keeps on refilling itself with more Chocolate.
These categories seem arbitrary and unhelpful - maybe just list a top 10 played and give specific "award" to each?
cj can you pls ask her if she sells the macaroni fortress in her webstore i want to know how to acquire a macaroni fortress
shh dont say annoying things
This is comedy, not serious. You didn’t get the joke.
How did the fact this is clearly a satire video go over your head?
ROFL I love that she pinned this comment
Can confirm: you have the Castles of Tuscany rules correct.
I see you finally got back to studying your German, Rodney! 😉
I'm surprised this wasn't a comment on how to pronounce "Coatl" :D
@@Luke_L hehehehe
Thank you, if anyone would know, it would be you of course.
@@Luke_L I'm just hoping everyone will forget about this... no chance of that though, is there?
Your top ten list just made my top ten list of top ten lists.
I can assure you that since our third member, Bessie, joined our channel - many board games have indeed been eaten.
I feel like Bessie and I might be kindred spirits.
This is top 1 of the top 10 best boardgames of 2020 lists. So much science went into this. More science, I believe, than ever before. Yet the dicey person manages to present the facts in a fun and acessible way. Science done right.
SCIENCE!
"Am I okay?" No, and that's why we love you!
"This is a definitive list based on unarguable data"
Finally, someone who understands
It would seem you turned that Truffle Shuffle Into a legacy game.
oh my god...how have I just found your channel??? I've needed this in my life...and I didn't even know it!!
I also just found this channel. The Honorary Mention was good for the algorithm after all!
Love the category of "boardgames I wish I could eat". Every time my group played "citadels" we allways remarked that the coins looked like candy.
For us, the black gem in Splendor is called Chocolate...
You're a total hoot. I'd forgotten that and clicked on this video expecting serious content. (Which is the best possible set up, really.) Thanks for this.
YOu actually had me laughing out loud with the Honey buzz one "Wait a minute I think I know why I lost so bad" had me in hysterics lol.

One of my literal favorite humans on this planet 😂❤
She is pretty great!
Do the qualifiers imply you know any Time Lords ;)?
(If yes, I need to know!)
Have you two met...in person.
@@jonathanross149 They sure have.
There was a time, long ago, when we used visit other people in the Outside... Long ago... *drifts off, lost in remembering...*
Absolutely, without a doubt the greatest top ten of 2020, that I have seen!
Paula is brilliant, and I love watching her videos!
I couldn't quite put my finger on how Calico made me feel, but you have captured it so perfectly.
Love this and we love you! Enjoyed it! :)
awww yay! Thank you!
And this is the energy we need to spread the love for board games with! Bravo!
This video makes my top ten of top ten lists of 2020. Well done.
Best 2020 board game list anywhere!
Loved your video. It actually brightened my day, thanks!
well this comment brightened MY day! So the circle is complete!
Best top ten I have ever seen, thank you Paula especially for being you
Absolutely hilarious as always Paula, great job!
This just made me smile throughout. Well done and super creative!
Can't believe I went down the rabbit hole of watching all these sketches that make zero sense... and I love it!
Absolutely stellar start to the new season!! 10/10 can confirm playing Santa Monica saves you from ever needing to go to Santa Monica
good riddance to the 405!
I loved the cat shots and how you kept it playfully cheeky but also kinda sincerely loving.
Thank you! I genuinely like every game on the list, so it was easy to poke fun but in a way that I hope expressed affection as well.
@@PaulaDeming I think that the love came across for sure. :-)
Thank you. This made me cry tears 😿 twice I was laughing so hard. That is some clever material very well delivered. Thanks!
It's always a good day when I can make someone cry.
I mean.
Um.
Finally! She’s back
I'm back, baby!
Ok this was most hilarious top 10 board game video I have ever seen
The Matthew glasses and Tom hat! Love this episode! Thank you so much!
2021 is already better thanks to the new season of Things Get Dicey! Thank you, Paula! :)
Really enjoy your videos, always make me laugh. Recently started slowly working my way through all the DxM podcasts after Mathew mentioned them on a live stream with Rodney.
oh nice! I hope you enjoy the podcast! Thank you for checking it out!
@@PaulaDeming Enjoying them all so far ☺️

ohh wow yeah I totally missed this! Thanks for the tip!
Amazing, totally agree with your list and I. love the funny way you show us it.
First time I’ve seen things get dicey and I’ve subscribed. Such a fun and creative top 10.
Super impressed you brought out "Shores of Tripoli" in you top game that teaches you something! I would have nominated "One Small Step" in that category but I am admittedly biased. I enjoy your videos! Keep up the good work!!
Outstanding as always! Welcome to 2021, glad to see you back at it.
"I played 30 of them...so you can see I've been pretty thorough." lol, nobody lobs satirical bombs at board gamers like Paula. Cheers to a great 2021!
This was so funny! Best top 10 I’ve seen yet. I’m still waiting for the day I eat a Wingspan egg by mistake... Now I want to rank my games into paulagories too.
Rank 'em!
Also, I feel you on the Wingspan eggs. They look just like those candy-shell-outside, chocolate-inside Easter candies.
I laughed so hard all through the Coatl bit. Thank you so much for that. 😂
Your videos are always a lot of fun! Thanks!
Great list. I have been staring at Santa Monica on my shelf of opportunity for months and also would like to play Forgotten Waters. Here is my top ten list of your top category titles. Honorable Mention - Honorable Mention 10.Biggest Game of The Year 9. Game That Teaches You Something 8. Game That Makes You Want To Learn German 7. How Do I Pronounce The Name Of This Game 6. Game That Tricks You Into Feeling Nice. 5. Game That Inspires Me. 4. Game That Gave Me A Reason To Stay Home 3. The Unpopular Opinion. 2. Game I Lost(Real Bad). 1. Game I Wish I Could Eat.
Great Video! Very funny as always. Great start to your newest season!
Die Regeln für Castles of Tuscany hast du auf jeden Fall sehr gut und richtig erklärt! Glückwunsch!
Danke!
New category idea for next year: Game that you're worried might kill you in your sleep.
I vote for Cthulu Death May Die.
Nothing made me so sure this was an artifact of 2020 as the "Am I ok??"
Hey you survived 2020! Yay! :)
You seriously never let me down... another amazing video!
A list as unique and funny as its creator!
Just have to say... Paula Deming for president of the known galaxy! I'm making buttons of this, the design will be mind numbing!
Stay Awesome Paula mam!
Honorable Mention is a category! With its own Top Game of 2020.
Good to see you produce more solo channel content and enjoy the creative freedom ;)
i don't know if it was intentional or not but my favourite moment in this video is during the truffle shuffle bit when the edits kept making chocolate disappear and reappear in the box
i think i could actually hear matthew screaming as you described castles of tuscany : )
Self-parody. This is what we call "genius". Well done, Paula. I also liked the commitment you make to your craft. Looks like you were working really hard to keep those truffles down.
it's tough work, but somebody's gotta eat the chocolate
You know this already, but you are really good at what you do. Your videos are really well done.
That was so funny and enjoyable, keep up the good work!
Loved the video, and loved the categories! 🥳 Keep it up!
5:05 I have never seen Luna looking so excited.
hahaha. I genuinely couldn't believe she let me hold her long enough to get those shots
Great List! Games that inspired me were Cthulhu Wars when dealing with the Washing Machine repair person and Mansions of Madness when going to the bank.
Isn't it great when games inspire us??
Great stuff, always entertaining!
To paraphrase Finding Nemo: "Boardgames are friends, not food".
Also thought of Nemo/Dory when she exclaimed, "Squishy!"
40 minutes to 3 hours sounds about how far I am too. Thank you for the shout out, I'm glad I was able to give you an escape during these times.
oh hey thank you for watching! And thank you for designing a game I genuinely like, it really is a lot of fun!
Cool list. The best 2020 list so far 😁
I've missed your videos Paula! Welcome back. An Honorable Mention really IS a way to get 11 items on a top 10 list. Also, no one knows how the algorithm works. Its all devil magic anyways.
Ha! And I am likewise not yet over with how Rodney pronounces "Coatl". It's the highlight of my 2020.
Is truffle shuffle still on pre-order or is it out but not in-stock? Thanks!
As far as top ten lists that are actually ten (eleven) top one lists, this is my favourite.
Best top 10 of 2020. Hilarious!
First video I see from you, I love you :D
Also I just noticed the pin from Sorcerer City makes me happy.
This is the best best games list list video.
That outfit is giving off some serious Joker vibes! Loved the 20 second review of calico
Can confirm, board games are not edible. This is a superior list and PSA!
I used to live in Santa Monica. It once took me over 2 hours to go 11 miles to West Hollywood. I could have gotten there faster by bicycle.
7:29 This is what happens when your parents tell you not to play with your food
I’ve never watched one of your videos and NOT laughed 😂😂 when the notification goes, I KNOW it’s gonna be a good one!
That's not what I was expecting from this video, thank you :D
Where can I get your copy of Truffle Shuffle? (and how much did you enjoy shooting that sequence...?)
so worth it
How did Cubitos get on your shelf?? Very jealous, waiting patiently....
AEG very kindly sent it to me and I'm very happy because John D. Clair is one of my favorite designers (and I got to try this one out while it was in its very late design stages as well)
Ah such a great list! We definitely make the same faces and reactions in Calico, which made our list too. We've been really enjoying Truffle Shuffle lately and it certainly makes us hungry. Thanks for being you, we always look forward to your videos.
thank you! Reading this made me smile! And yeah, Truffle Shuffle is a really fun little set collection game
The new season of Things Get Dicey. There was much rejoicing.
The came back to watch again because this made me so happy so, but wanted to watch again. 🥰
Hey great Top! That's the first time I watch one of your videos. The algorithm worked! I like this kind of top 10! Btw, is the phone behind you an actual game?
I did it! I figured out the algorithm!
And no, the phone is just a phone (though it's mostly just a prop)
@@PaulaDeming congrats! And we should do a game with and old phone. I miss old phones. :)
Truffle Shuffle is one of those legacy games, am I right? How is player interaction in this?
i died of laughter!
i had a real difficult evening and this just made me laugh
aw, yay! I'm so glad!
Can you do a top 100 in this format?
Wish I could find some friends to play my game with. Gotta socialize first. Note that on my list.
I support top 10 list like this. It does my heart well to see this.
Great cat content
also THANK YOU FOR THE TELLER ONES LOVE. the game is the perfect Bar/brewery game and therefore, the perfect hipster game for us people.
finally, some cat love in the comments! ;)
This was REALLY well done!!!!
why thank youuuuuuuu
Deaddddd this kills me. 😂 "I probably have to grow a mustache.....I could do it though" hahaha
I knew Coatl was going to win that category! We’ll deserved too!
Enjoyably different 😀
Best Top Ten EVER!
Truffle Shuffle, the *real* legacy board game!
no regrets at all after 'playing'
My god, you're very funny (and have good tastes!) Subscribed!
The only top 10 that I didnt skip
Hmm, the biggest game of the year seems to bit more in the standard size. Oh and that Truffle Shuffle box is amazing since it keeps on refilling itself with more Chocolate.
