25:30 Zee "Come at me Bro" Garcia had me laughing at work. Tom was so ready to shoot whatever he said down and then to see him pull back was hilarious. And Zee's dancing.
Mental Magic, from what I undrrstand, is composed of a deck of random cards, and you have to play cards that match the mana cost of the random card, and you cant use the same card twice. For example a random card in your hand that costs 1G can be a Rampant Growth, a Muscle Sliver, a Grizzly Bears, or any other card that costs 1G.
GOLD WEST should get so much more love, good call Zee, it's in my top 10 eurogames. Such a concise design and a beautiful production. Its a modern euro: 10 turns and done. Simple but deep with so many competitive routes to score points.
Regarding Imperial Assault: I have a couple of groups that regularly play the campaign game. We never bring it to larger game nights, however. IA is played on different scheduled nights with those smaller groups.
Great video, as usual! For me, Mansions of Madness and the LCG are very different. I love them both, but I enjoy the LCG way more. Mansions has such great atmosphere, easy set up, and simple gameplay. I love it for solo play and to play with slightly more casual players. I don't as much care for the limited actions on each turn (too many turns burnt up moving three spaces), the rails that each scenario is on and the lack of major difference between investigators (just general stats and usually one ability). Again, I love it, it's one of my favorites, but those are my drawbacks. The LCG just has way more interesting decisions from start to finish and just higher level of complexity overall for me. Though it takes more initial investment of time to build a deck, it makes the investigators SO much more interesting and different. Each deck you might build for each investigator can be very, very different as well. In terms of gameplay, on each turn you get more actions and a wider range of potential actions between the base actions and the different cards you might have. This also helps replay-ability for me (though it is cool that the Mansions app will change things up as well). There are even better ways to help each other out in the game, making for better co-op too.
Gaaah! Youre making me want to start buying into arkham lcg! Someone gave me one core set and Ive been avoiding it since Im so far behind, Id have to spend a fortune and track everything down.
Hard Bathsalts I highly recommend trying it out! It’s very good! The core campaign alone will have some replay value plus you can buy scenario packs for pretty cheap if you want to get new experiences without buying a whole campaign or cycle.
Disagree. I love when there’s a nice mix of content and banter/diversions about gaming. I don’t need a full minute plot summary of the Rambo series or a Captain America comic.
They were worse in the last video and before that people were arguing for even longer videos. Just under an hour is fine (45 minutes might even be better). They still had time for some banter, but kept moving along. With this top 100, this video has been good. I kinda liked the first couple that were even shorter, but I don't think we will see that again, too many people wanted longer videos, even the Dice Tower team joked about it in one of them. I agree Rambo and Captain America parts went too long, but it didn't bother me too much. I am just trying to encourage shorter, tighter videos.
I love these combined ones! It's a lot of fun and definitely my preferred way to watch the top 100's :) Tom, I know you love Anachrony and I definitely do as well! I think you enjoy the different worker types a lot (so do I!). With that in mind, have you considered revisiting Argent the Consortium? It really seems like it'd be a game you'd love, but you were kind of so-so on it. Just a thought :)
Fury of Dracula was on my radar for a long time and there was no much hope of a new print. Very happy to hear that there will be a new 3rd/4th edition :)
Need to get my hands on Western Legends. Kemet for me is one of those games that I want to play but never do, but dont want to get rid of it. Blood Rage is due for a big expansion at this point. The small ones that came are decent but add very little to the experience.
Very interesting to see Zee like Santa Maria that much. I really hoped I'd like it, but for whatever reason it just felt off. I have many other dice drafting games high on my list, just not this one. I might try it again if anyone gets the expansion, but I'm not sure anyone in my group is interested enough to buy it.
My 50-41 games: #50. Subdivision, #49. Dream Home, #48. Dixit, #47. Freedom: The Underground Railroad, #46. Alchemists, #45. The Pursuit of Happiness, #44. Roll Player, #43. Lost Cities, #42. Ganz Schon Clever, and #41. Charterstone.
I still want to know if you guys are ever going to review Warring colonies for Dead of winter?? Or just give us a video of what you really think of it. Worth it or not?...
I just bought the last of the expansions currently available for Mansions of Madness (2) and a beautiful box from Daedalus Productions to hold EVERYTHING in. If your a MoM fan you need to check them out!
My 41-50: 41. Las Vegas 42. Lords of Waterdeep 43. The Quest for El Dorado 44. Jamaica 45. Zooloretto 46. Tumblin-Dice 47. Say Anything 48. The Sheriff Of Nottingham (with the expansion) 49. Bang! the Card Game 50. Pillars of the Earth
Is "the Italian Crew" the official way to refer to that group of designers now? LOL I've seen that a few times now. I've never played Tzolkin, but Voyages of Marco Polo is one of my all time favorites.
If you are taking recommendations.... I'd like to see Top 50 lists for games from the last 3 years only. This removes all the old games that everyone knows about and the list will obviously change quite a bit each year as well.
No, because I (and many others) do not have an encyclopedic knowledge of board games so I learn about (and am reminded!) of games that I do not know about and it also shows how good they are because even if they are old it shows how well they stand up against today's games. If they did it once that would be ok, but I would not want it to replace the current Top 100 yearly lists.
I'm not telling them to replace this top 100 list with the top 50 list I recommended....just something in addition too. They have a bunch of top X game list videos, this would just be another one
@@Vaole I Agee completely. Some of my favorite pickups have been older games that have stuck around on lists. Those are the truly great games. PeepinShootinLivin, besides don't they usually already do a best of each year's releases already? That's fairly close to what you are asking.
My personal list 41 - Santorini 42 - Red7 43 - Tides of Time 44 - Hive Pocket 45 - Imhotep 46 - Lords of Xidit 47 - Toc Toc Woodman 48 - Ugg-Tech 49 - Can't Stop 50 - Penny Press My rankings of games that they mentioned: ??? - Hanamikoji ??? - Star Realms ??? - Tzolk'in ??? - Race for the Galaxy ??? - Kemet 62 - Agricola 128 - Onitama 144 - Blood Rage 230 - Dead of Winter 231 - Dominion 295 - Liar's Dice Obviously there are a ton of really good games out there that I need to play xD Before anyone gets high and mighty about things, I've played a grand total of 318 games as of this posting, so obviously a third of them will appear on the top 100 list because math. Comments and questions are welcome!
Samy ya wrong ;) Kemet- 1.attack 2.retreat done. And its valuable strategy, played many games where i was either not attacked at all or 1-2, per full game. Anyway my fav. "Dudes on the board" game, recomend 10/10.
I know they invited it when they named the game Kingdomino, but gameplay-wise, it’s really nothing like dominoes. In dominoes you’re playing a one-dimensional game. You can only put each tile in two possible places. In Kingdominio, you’re working in a two-dimensional space and trying to weigh up which land types to go for and whether to pick the good tile or have first pick in the next round.
Most expensive board game, including KS and excluding CCGs or LCGs is definitely KDM. 1666 for the largest pledge is quite expensive even if you take few LCGs in.
Buying everything for Lord of the Rings LCG at retail prices would cost around $1800, so that's probably a good pick for one of the most expensive games to go all-in on.
MoM 2.0 is so much fun! 3+ hours of hitting "OKAY" after reading aloud the blurbs because FFG only got voice acting for the intro and outro and a precious few story moments. And finding the right direction / thing to click is purely arbitrary and lucky, and you get punished for being unlucky, for some reason. Arkham Horror LCG is shorter, isn't bogged down with fiddley rules and feels more rewarding. Hell, I'd play Elder Sign before MoM.
I assume that minis games (not including Warhammer, etc.), like 'X Wing' would be more expensive, because they released a bagillion expansions and each ship costs more than an LCG pack. Not complaining, just observing.
10:00 you guys are debating the most expensive game still available on the market. X-Wing Miniatures. I know 2 people who are over 1K with the expansions not including the 2.0 stuff but all waves and epic ships.
For most expensive game, maybe legendary a deck building game, thats got to be a few hundred dollars, but thats just games I am aware of, idk how big LCGs are I looked it up, to compare, LotR LCG probably costs a solid grand more
Comissioned is sooooo hard to get in Europe.... I have a bunch of adventist friends and I want to show them this game, but it is hard to get it and it is not cheap because of the shipping+customs :(
Game designers promise that this will be "the very last expansion for this game, ever, honest" the same way aging rockers promise "this is the final final tour, this time we mean it!" I just roll my eyes and move on.
The, "if you wanted to attack me, you could," complaint for Kemet seems weird when saying Blood Rage is better. Blood Rage makes it even easier to attack the other players. Between being able to deploy exactly where their units are, and raiding allowing adjacent players to join the battle. The "if you wanted to attack me, you could," is even worse than in Kemet. I'm not saying Blood Rage is better/worse than Kemet. They're both great games with interesting mechanisms to upgrade your faction. Both, put the focus on the attacker (pillager) winning combat (sans the Loki strategies in Blood Rage). It's unlikely that all the outer territories in Blood Rage don't get pillaged. So, in a 4 player game, there's at least 6 times combat occurs each age. It's actually more than that since the pillager losing will likely result in a pillage happening later. With Kemet, the maximum combat in a round for 4 player is 8 times. And, that's if every player use all their move actions to attack (which is unlikely).
I haven't played kemet, but it seems like they are different types of games. In Bloodrage, no one can attack you, you just initiate a pillage and other players can choose to join.
@@nicksbordone5271 Kemet is freaking awesome. Play it! They just put out an expansion that can play 2to 5 vs 1, with the "1" being the God Seth. So. Damn. Good.
I own both and prefer MoM but I can see why people would like Arkham Horror more. I think what would make MoM amazing is if there was an expansion that was Legacy-like. Where you do multiple sessions where each one affects the later one. Maybe not legacy-like, but like the card game where the expansion stories have one large story vs MoMs single scenarios.
Im thinking about getting MoM. Is it a similar experience to the lcg but without the deck building and campaign? It's hard to break out the lcg because of the nature of it. Complex rules, not enough cards in 2 sets for a 4 player game, having to take apart and rebuild decks to play with a new group, etc. I like the theme and mechanics though
@@nicksbordone5271 I don't think that you can really compare those two games besides the theming. You are right, that is it easier to bring out MoM every once in a while and having a great time. But in my opinion, I prefer AHtcg because the gameplay is more involving.
Hail Hydra - I recently ordered this game, it's on the way, but have not played it yet Puerto Rico - I agree with Zee, San Juan is better, but still like Puerto Rico, it is my 54th favorite game Queendomino - is a fantastic game! It is my 11th favorite game. I also agree with Sam, Kingdomino is forgettable, however, it makes an incredible expansion for Queendomino! Mix them, it's awesome! I am not a big fan of the expansion. Only played it twice, I do enjoy the random extra point tiles, in which you choose 2 each game to score different extra point opportunities. The giant tiles themselves do nothing for me. Dead of Winter - is my 31st favorite game and like Sam isn't getting much play. I been waiting for a different them for this system. Tzolkin - is not on my top 100 but enjoy it, one of the heaviest games I do enjoy.
I don't see how Caverna "destroys" Agricola. I enjoy both games, but they deliver entirely different gaming experiences, even within the worker placement genre they arent close enough to say one "replaces" the other. Agricola is a much more tense and cut-throat game than Caverna will ever be, which is fine, theres obviously room for both. But, to belabor the point, I don't see how one "destroys" the other.
No moreso than any other games in the worker placement genre and within that genre there are games significantly more similar to each than they are to each other
mental magic is awsome but hard to help you play just count seven with your hand and every time you play/draw a card substract or add a finger every time you draw= deamonic tutor
I remember reading a case of a guy who fell from a plane and lived because his crashed through a bunch of pine branches which broke his fall enough to survive. I think it was during WWII. Crazy story, but supposedly true. Also, Rambo jumped from the side of a cliff to avoid being killed by the guy in the helicopter, he didn't jump from the helicopter.
There are actually two - one is a mythos card that discards a solved mystery unless players collectively spend clues equal to half the number of players, and the other is a research encounter that discards a solved mystery if the player fails a skill check. Both of those are super uncool, and I've permanently removed them from my copy of the game.
@@kjerins Thanks! Just to clarify, in case anyone else is interested, the two cards you're referring to are: - Mythos card "All For Nothing" - Azathoth's Research encounter card number 5 (City encounter) I'm inclined to agree with everyone on this and will also remove those cards from my copy of the game. Thanks again.
@@SunnyNeuroshima Since we are editing the game I would suggest you to change the rule of "one clue for 1 dice rolling" and instead we throw as many dice as we want once again, that can help you out some times, let me know if you have another changing rule!
@@franciscorojas8088 Hi Francisco. It's rare that I will house rule a game. I prefer to play by the official rules whenever possible and trust that the designer knows what they're doing. I've made one exception in this case for reasons which Zee stated.
@@SunnyNeuroshima There is also Cthulhu research encounter card #21 (sea encounter). This one made me lose my last game against Cthulhu. Shuffle a solved mystery back in unless you take a dark pact. I already had a dark pact with that investigator, so the solved mystery was reshuffled 😢. I will still always play with the option of having these cards in the game though. Win or lose, I enjoy the experience

I just got Santa Maria and the expansion at Essen. The base game is great! Happy with the purchase! Great lists!

I love how Sam has 2 cup holders on his left, but still puts his water bottle on the table
Wow! Literally seconds away from being able to back claustrophobia 1643. Really looking forward to this game. Love tile exploration!
Sam needs a hug. Seems like gaming is wearing him down lately.

Since it has been such popular thing to comment on this Top 10, this section was the perfect blend of time length and side commentary.

Kingdom death monster is probably the most expensive.
I think Shadows of Brimstone tops that.

If you bought everything at retail for Lord of the Rings LCG it'd probably be one of the most expensive collections for a single game.
I know I'VE sunk a lot of money in that game... Between that and Magic I could probably afford a second house
Keyforge is technically the most expensive because in order to have everything you would need to buy every single deck in existence 😁
@@nicksbordone5271 Hahaha that's true! 😆
I have ripped up a card in Eldritch Horror (the one you impair 3 times) and ignore the one that forces you to shuffle a solved mystery back in.
why is tom dressed as my grandmother?

The best expansion of Zee! The Comic Relief Expansion
My daughter and I laughed so hard at the Hail Hydra banter. That kind of stuff is why DT is the best, IMHO.
54:26 - Sam says he has no Cthulu games, and is immediately blessed by God. lol.
Thanks Zee for carrying the Gold West torch :)
I love it when ya'll sing . . .
"Did they fix it?" Oh, Zee :D (talking about Agricola)
Thats what deduction is, zee
Shadows of Brimstone is easily the most expensive board game line out there. Easily over 1200 USD.
Warhammer 40K is probably the most expensive (if you bought everything).
Oh, i was thinking what is this Seth expansion they are talking about and was confusing it with Ta-Seti. It hasn't been reviewed by DT yet, so..
MoM 2.0 is so much fun! 3+ hours of hitting "OKAY" after reading aloud the blurbs because FFG only got voice acting for the intro and outro and a precious few story moments.

Yup, you got it. Horrible game. Can be soloe'd on the app easily btw. So boring, my god. Make it a computer game entirely and then let it go for good.
Bruges doesn’t get the love it deserves. Kudos to Zee!

Puerto Rico seems to still be available at sensible prices at the online retailers I'm aware of, so I'd guess it's still in print.
Was on sale at Game Nerdz this week.

Imperial Assault is higher this year because of the app that has opened the game up to people like my spouse and me.

Pictures of game boards and components for all games would be appreciated
Sam played Marco Polo only once, still did a Miami Dice review for that game?

Game designers promise that this will be "the very last expansion for this game, ever, honest" the same way aging rockers promise "this is the final final tour, this time we mean it!" I just roll my eyes and move on.
The, "if you wanted to attack me, you could," complaint for Kemet seems weird when saying Blood Rage is better. Blood Rage makes it even easier to attack the other players. Between being able to deploy exactly where their units are, and raiding allowing adjacent players to join the battle. The "if you wanted to attack me, you could," is even worse than in Kemet.
I'm not saying Blood Rage is better/worse than Kemet. They're both great games with interesting mechanisms to upgrade your faction. Both, put the focus on the attacker (pillager) winning combat (sans the Loki strategies in Blood Rage). It's unlikely that all the outer territories in Blood Rage don't get pillaged. So, in a 4 player game, there's at least 6 times combat occurs each age. It's actually more than that since the pillager losing will likely result in a pillage happening later. With Kemet, the maximum combat in a round for 4 player is 8 times. And, that's if every player use all their move actions to attack (which is unlikely).
I haven't played kemet, but it seems like they are different types of games. In Bloodrage, no one can attack you, you just initiate a pillage and other players can choose to join.
@@nicksbordone5271 Kemet is freaking awesome. Play it! They just put out an expansion that can play 2to 5 vs 1, with the "1" being the God Seth. So. Damn. Good.
Arkham horror lcg is way better than mansions, story is better and the campaign play is awesome with the choices you make
I own both and prefer MoM but I can see why people would like Arkham Horror more.
I think what would make MoM amazing is if there was an expansion that was Legacy-like. Where you do multiple sessions where each one affects the later one. Maybe not legacy-like, but like the card game where the expansion stories have one large story vs MoMs single scenarios.
Yep that would definitely be cool
Im thinking about getting MoM. Is it a similar experience to the lcg but without the deck building and campaign? It's hard to break out the lcg because of the nature of it. Complex rules, not enough cards in 2 sets for a 4 player game, having to take apart and rebuild decks to play with a new group, etc. I like the theme and mechanics though
@@nicksbordone5271 I don't think that you can really compare those two games besides the theming. You are right, that is it easier to bring out MoM every once in a while and having a great time. But in my opinion, I prefer AHtcg because the gameplay is more involving.
If nobody wants to teach Race, then we will run out of players at some point :) Yeah, i don't want to teach it myself. So i bought Jump Drive :D
Slow clap for Anachrony. Great game.
Wish every game had pictures.
Hail Hydra - I recently ordered this game, it's on the way, but have not played it yet
Puerto Rico - I agree with Zee, San Juan is better, but still like Puerto Rico, it is my 54th favorite game
Queendomino - is a fantastic game! It is my 11th favorite game. I also agree with Sam, Kingdomino is forgettable, however, it makes an incredible expansion for Queendomino! Mix them, it's awesome! I am not a big fan of the expansion. Only played it twice, I do enjoy the random extra point tiles, in which you choose 2 each game to score different extra point opportunities. The giant tiles themselves do nothing for me.
Dead of Winter - is my 31st favorite game and like Sam isn't getting much play. I been waiting for a different them for this system.
Tzolkin - is not on my top 100 but enjoy it, one of the heaviest games I do enjoy.
I don't see how Caverna "destroys" Agricola. I enjoy both games, but they deliver entirely different gaming experiences, even within the worker placement genre they arent close enough to say one "replaces" the other. Agricola is a much more tense and cut-throat game than Caverna will ever be, which is fine, theres obviously room for both. But, to belabor the point, I don't see how one "destroys" the other.
Tom has stated this for years now.
@@Steve-L I know, I just wish he'd unpack it. It's never made sense to me.
No moreso than any other games in the worker placement genre and within that genre there are games significantly more similar to each than they are to each other
Loving Western legends
“Used to be a political game now it’s a gangster theme, same thing.”
You got that right.
If Tom wasn't named after the apostle Thomas, than was he named after Thomas the Train?
A family member?
mental magic is awsome but hard
to help you play just count seven with your hand and every time you play/draw a card substract or add a finger
every time you draw= deamonic tutor
They had to change Kemet because it's not very good game. Cyclades and Inis are much better games :)
Cyclades -and Inis are- is a much better game. *fixed
We all know Inis is the best
Kyle Martin hurtful. 😀 Inis is so good. I can’t understand how anyone can dislike it if they like this style of game at all.
Marvel Queeendomino: Let's build Latveria!!!
Zee would like Hydra. Haha
So sad to see Descent so far away from the top 10 :( (yes, I know, 46 is still awesome)
Most expensive game? I just sold my Talisman 4th edition and all expansions (14 I believe) on Ebay for $575.
I remember reading a case of a guy who fell from a plane and lived because his crashed through a bunch of pine branches which broke his fall enough to survive. I think it was during WWII. Crazy story, but supposedly true. Also, Rambo jumped from the side of a cliff to avoid being killed by the guy in the helicopter, he didn't jump from the helicopter.
Eldritch Horror: does anyone know the card which Tom and Zee are referring to?
There are actually two - one is a mythos card that discards a solved mystery unless players collectively spend clues equal to half the number of players, and the other is a research encounter that discards a solved mystery if the player fails a skill check. Both of those are super uncool, and I've permanently removed them from my copy of the game.
@@kjerins Thanks! Just to clarify, in case anyone else is interested, the two cards you're referring to are:
- Mythos card "All For Nothing"
- Azathoth's Research encounter card number 5 (City encounter)
I'm inclined to agree with everyone on this and will also remove those cards from my copy of the game. Thanks again.
@@SunnyNeuroshima Since we are editing the game I would suggest you to change the rule of "one clue for 1 dice rolling" and instead we throw as many dice as we want once again, that can help you out some times, let me know if you have another changing rule!
@@franciscorojas8088 Hi Francisco. It's rare that I will house rule a game. I prefer to play by the official rules whenever possible and trust that the designer knows what they're doing. I've made one exception in this case for reasons which Zee stated.
@@SunnyNeuroshima There is also Cthulhu research encounter card #21 (sea encounter). This one made me lose my last game against Cthulhu. Shuffle a solved mystery back in unless you take a dark pact. I already had a dark pact with that investigator, so the solved mystery was reshuffled 😢. I will still always play with the option of having these cards in the game though. Win or lose, I enjoy the experience
Shadows of Brimstone easily the most expensive to go get everything
More expensive than Imperial Assault? It's a game I always wanted to own but the base game too expensive.
“Transcension” That term is extremely obsolete. The more correct option is “transcendence.”
Also: “less prolific” You’re searching for “ubiquitous.” 🙂
