amazing chemistry with Joey and Camilla, well worth saying as others have also said....i am so happy both of them are part of the Dice Tower as they bring so much fun along with being informative. 🙂

[@patricksteele]

These two are wonderful. More votes for bloopers!

[@dominikstrehl4917]

Thanks for the review, it was really fun to watch. Great chemistry! Just give us more Camilla and Joey videos!
On the topic: I would be really interested in Tom's and Roy's opinions on this one. Especially how it compares to Summoner Wars since they look quite similar in gameplay.

[@petercsm5769]

In a hypothetical where Tom gives Milla an ax and Joey a sword and tells them to fight for a bit in the backyard, Joey doesn't make it to the backyard after being distracted laughing at a joke and accidentally impaling his sword into the back door. While Joey tries to remove the stuck sword without Tom hearing it, Milla gets sidetracked with chopping the fallen branches in the backyard into gleefully smaller and smaller pieces. After a couple minutes of this, both complain about how humid it is and go back inside. Milla tries to hide the ax, but Tom confiscates it and a couple hours later he curses Joey's name when he notices the sword still sticking out of the back door.

New rule...Bloopers need to be included at the end of every vid.

“Skip ahead about 7 minutes” 😂😂😂

[@JonReid01]

The Dice Tower cast is so good right now. So glad to have Joey and Milla on the team. 👍👍 Things always change, but I'm appreciating what we have right now. Keep up the good work and thanks for the memories and fun times

7:08 it’s worth noting that you can use a special (instead of a basic attack) in situations where you have a legal attack option. It isn’t just for when you can’t attack.

Good video! Merry Christmas Dice Tower!

[@thedicetower]

Merry Christmas!

[@fredericbarbe]

Great game! As other CTG, a lot or keywords to get familiar with, but overall it creates simple and interesting skirmishes.

[@erekruebig5457]

Will there ba a review of Hoplomachus : Victorum?

[@dayoltay]

Best way to play this game is the skirmish mode, this was a nice review

[@KarlJSmith]

Thematically it's arena combat for the entertainment of the crowd, so the "crowd favor" catch up mechanism is to make things more entertaining for the crowd that's watching.

[@jacobstein5678]

I have something in common with Joey!!! 😂

[@SanjuroSan]

Omg out takes!

[@nshaw1299]

The thing about a bad catchup mechanism is that there's a difference between 'me becoming stronger in some sense/opponent becoming weaker' if he's ahead, and 'opponent loses what he gained in the path for victory' if he's ahead.
The second one is a pretty rubbish way, and as you said in the video, just makes the game much longer and more frustrating. Regardless of whether or not it matches the theme.

[@eriklindqvist9923]

Super Sweet is a faction in an expansion for another skirmish game, GKR Heavy Hitters. 😅

[@DeltaDemon1]

Chips are cheaper than minis so I'm all for this. Games have gotten too expensive because of minis and minis add nothing to the gameplay usually.

[@MichaelAW17]

CTG doesnt really make their games cheaper because they dont have minis lol

[@JonReid01]

​@@MichaelAW17I was gonna say wait a minute.... Hahaha

[@crokinoledk]

😂👍🏻

[@deeza85za]

Board games going the same route as PC games.

[@elqord.1118]

How?

[@ArthurBugorski]

I assume they are referring to sequels and remakes.

[@deeza85za]

[@JonReid01]

And when companies hold back content for the expansions, it's like DLC
