The fact that he’s worth half a billion dollars, but geeks out over playing board games and talking about board games with The Dice Tower, makes me unreasonably happy.
@@JoseGuerrero-yy4wl He just doesn’t look to me like an impulse kickstarter buyer, he probably waits for reviews and until it’s out like normal people should. He can afford secondary market prices if he likes them
Doubtful he watches but he has admitted many times he plays board games and video games. So maybe don’t try to talk about someone you don’t know at all but pretend like you do. I’m betting you’ve never watched South Park. If you did you’d know about his board games love and video games love that he has
@@williamphillips2671 With all the effort the Dice Tower goes to making such a friendly, fun and welcoming environment, it’s always a shame to see comments like this. Also, I find it a little odd to tell them not to talk about the subject of the video.
@@williamphillips2671 uh, hello random aggressive person? Did you neglect your anti-psychotics today? If you paid attention, Trey says he normally agrees with Roy's lists hence proving he does indeed watch the show. Also South Park has contained numerous Dice Tower references. Either you're a troll or a heavily misinformed nutcase.
I remember backing the KS specifically for this, almost thought it wouldn't happen. I was wondering "how hard is it to organise a zoom call", didn't expect he'd fly all the way across the country to Florida to come in person. True legend. Didn't realise my respect for him could go up any higher, but there you go. Hope you all had a fun game after filming this!
Right there with you. I’ve loved South Park since it was a digital Christmas card, and I think Trey is a legend for taking the time to visit the Dice Tower for this Top 10. I’m really impressed with the wide net this hobby has cast for avid players.
It makes sense in retrospect, because games is a big part of his life and not just a side hobby. He had said in very old interviews that being a DM is what trained him for making SP and nobody had noticed at the time.
His list was great. You can tell he spends a lot of time with friends and family at the table and has the passion for it. Hopefully this won't be the last time he stops by the studio.
I absolutely love this format. Hope you all continue to have guests that aren't known for strictly board games and try to guess their Top 10. The conversation about a variety of games that organically came out of this session was great.
YES! I have zero relationship to South Park, but I loved that this focused on a single person's list and meant there was more time and depth to talk about each title. One of my favourite conversations in recent memory.
Agreed! I always jump to the end to see what the actual list is, then go back to watch the reviews of the games I'm interested in. This is the first Top # list I've watched in its entirety, simply because the format was so interesting (and I don't even watch South Park). Really fun episode! More please.
I had to look 2 or 3 times to actually believe what I was seeing!! Trey Parker on Dice Tower!? How could Trey be even more wonderfu than I thought?! Great list. 😍
It was great to hear from a new voice on these top 10s. Trey brought a very different point of view to board games, due to his creative inclinations and past experience with role playing games, which made his picks interesting to watch and surprising to you all. I hope to see more varied voices participating with the Dice Tower crew in this and other ways in the future.
So I enjoy Board Games but I’ve never heard of Dice Tower before. I came here because I’m a big fan of South Park and Trey Parker is a hero but honestly I’ve really enjoyed this video, easy banter, good opinions. I’m here for more. Great video
Trey Parker on Dice Tower, my mind is blown! That was terrific, Trey's choices were fun and well explained. It's gonna take me a while to process these two worlds colliding. Really enjoyed how comfortable and casual the video seemed. Didn't try to cater to Trey and his celebrity, which would have been easy to do. Trey was refreshing, just an average board gamer that enjoyed the chance to talk about them with like minded folks. "Butters is a real person, he's one of our gamers" is a sentence that is gonna rattle around my head for a long, long time. Best video ever!! I would like to hear Trey tell us what he imagines would be the favorite game or games of each of the boys on South Park. An episode of the boys playing a board game with a traitor element that either Cartman leans into insanely or we get surprised to find it is butter is the traitor and is absurdly sneaky. Obviously Trey and the SP crew would know exactly how to make that simple idea hilarious. Anything to keep two of my favorite interests interwoven will keep me smiling, thanks again for that vid. Did that really just happen??
Great top ten! Proud of the Dice Tower for having the pull to attract a guest like Trey, and even more so for Mike and Zee turning on their comedy A game for the occasion. Great stuff!
“Sometimes we do some political stuff” lmao understatement! But I love how humble Matt and Trey both are, their humanity shows through SP every once in a while
South Park is in fact quite moralistic and highly ethical underneath the obvious courseness, a nearly exact opposite of the majority of entertainment media.
10. Western Legends 9. Merchants and Marauders 8. Abomination 7. Fury of Dracula 6. Robinson Crusoe 5. AuZtralia 4. Alchemists 3. War of the Ring/ Star Wars Rebellion 2. Sub Terra 1. Summit
I've never played board games like these. I watched this video basically completely blind but boy do I love listening to people talk about stuff they are passionate about even if I know absolutely nothing about it. Cool video guys! Maybe I can convince some of my friends to play one of these games with me!
I know one person who likes games as much as I do & has a good collection. Unfortunately, like most people, he can't call Daddy-Government out on a lie. Even though herd immunity *requires* being able to give individual immunity, he won't get together with "the un-jabbed."
What an amazing treat! Thanks Dice Tower for bringing a talented individual and an important part of modern escapism that needs to make fun of the clown world we live in. Great to see a celebrity that is down to earth and loves board games. You all rock!
What I love about this is that some may say trey parker is doing them a favor but that’s not what I see. I see a man who respects the dice tower and respects these people. He doesn’t have to do this but chose to to talk about a world he loves a lot. It’s really cool to see these guys make trey laugh and discuss board games with a level of honesty that the dice tower provides.
It's true, by the end of the video you kind of forget that's Trey Parker, he's really just a normal guy who loves games. It helped that he actually knows his stuff and wasn't afraid to let his personal tastes come through in his list.
I can't say anything more than what's already been said. This was absolutely awesome from beginning to end. I wasn't expecting a list of Monopoly, UNO, and Scrabble, because I knew from the board game references in South Park that Trey was definitely a designer board gamer, but even still not only his list, but his knowledge of board gaming in general really blew me away. Again, simply awesome.
Walked by Auztralia all the time at my game store and didn't even know it had this badass theme. Bought it today from that same store because of this. Thanks Trey!
Love South Park, cool seeing Trey on here, love about half the games he mentioned. Would be cool if he sat in on a playthrough on a game while he was there as well. How did this happen? It was obvious when he talked that he watches Dice Tower quite a bit. Did he reach out to you at the Dice Tower?
@@Unit17 Sure, but they can't just put whomever they want as a stretch goal and expect them to appear on the show. It was obviously a prior arrangement. My best guess is Trey attends GenCon and as a fan of Dice Tower has popped over to say hi to them.
@@seansteel328 I could be mistaken, but I believe Tom met Trey a while back when he went out to California for a game variety show that was being piloted. From there things rolled I'm assuming.
If I was Roy I’d be geeking out for weeks that Trey Parker knew my name and liked my top ten picks. South Park is one of the greatest shows ever created!
I bet they could get Neil Patrick Harris...he'd be awesome too. Not sure what his take is on board games but he's way into escape rooms. He created an escaperoom-like game called Box One and I bet he has some amusing thoughts on the genre.
Trey is, and always has been, an anomaly among celebrities. Most others would be phony, self-centered, and too busy trying to impress upon everyone just how awesome they are.
It's fascinating that Trey as a professional storyteller likes games that the story or arch of the game really comes through. It makes so much sense in retrospect.
Just absolute proof that TH-cam is the new place for "celebrities." The fact that Trey Parker is such a huge fan of all these guys just proves that. "Celebrities" aren't known by EVERYONE anymore (e.g. Will Smith, Warren Beatty), but, rather, are "celebrities" within the genre that they target. Examples include the guys from RedLetterMedia (who have become SO BIG that even Rian Johnson was tweeting about them before the release of The Last Jedi), Linus from LinusTechTips (who is so well known now and has done so well that he has tried creating a platform as an alternative to TH-cam, called Floatplane, in addition to being known by EVERY TECH COMPANY in existence), and more. These guys are what people call "internet celebrities," but to me, a more appropriate label would be "genre celebrity." For example: RedLetterMedia aren't really known outside the film community; Linus isn't really known outside the tech community; these guys here aren't really known outside the board games community. But these people are now SUCH BIG NAMES IN THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMUNITIES, that "real famous people" such as Trey Parker here, or Patton Oswald with RLM as well as Macaulay Culkin with RedLetterMedia/AVGNactually go onto THEIR SHOWS, and NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. Mike Stoklasa and Jay Bauman don't go on Patton's show, Patton' goes on THEIR show. These guys don't go on Trey's show, Trey goes on THEIR SHOW! Sure, Trey may have tossed a reference to these guys into his "Board Girls" episode, but it's not like they went on and did voice acting for the episode: instead, it's the other way around. So yeah, "GENRE CELEBRITIES" is what they should be called, not "INTERNET CELEBRITIES." The meaning is the same: that they aren't really known outside of their viewers. BUT, within their viewer-base, they are as big as they come: to get referenced on *South Park,* one of the biggest shows in history? Or, to get referenced by the people who MAKE *Star Wars,* in the case of Stoklasa/Bauman/Evans? Yeah, they're huge. They're just not huge to EVERYONE like "celebrities" used to be. No more are there Will Smiths, or Warren Beattys, who are popular with EVERYONE. Instead, now, we have celebrities that people follow because they ENJOY THE GENRE that these people represent. Individualism is prevailing. Just like private work contracts are becoming the new thing (e.g. Uber, Etsy, eBay, etc.) , so are smaller, yet more specific, celebrities becoming a thing.
I loved this video. Not only because I have been a South Park fan for 20 something years at this point, but that this was just an awesome way to introduce me to new games from someone outside of the dice tower. I loved the videos with Ruel, Jeremy, and the many other "outsiders" for the same reason. Great job all!
LOVE this. I have always enjoyed Zee's "off the beaten path" approach to games that he enjoys, and this took it to 11! You can tell they have taste that is cut from the same cloth. Thanks to Trey for making the trip... and for the courage to highlight games he enjoys regardless of their mainstream appeal.
Don't pass on this video solely because you are not a South Park fan, you'll miss out on a fantastic watch. For us massive SP fans, this was a double treat! Kudos.
A bit shocked to see one of the creators of South Park. One of the most hilariously offensive shows of all time next to Tom. Who based on all the years I’ve watched is definitely more religious/conservative. Is interesting to say the least lol.
Honestly South Park is only offensive to people who want to be offended. Just about every episode has a message behind them but those kinds of people aren't going to sit down and take the time to understand what's being said. They just see a clip taken out of context and get angry even if it turns out the episode in question actually agrees with them. Even those with strong opinions about something like faith are capable of enjoying what South Park is about should they give it a chance to say what it wants to say.
I was literally typing to say “I bet Trey would like Xia” (w embers expansion of course) and Tom asked him if he had played it! Trey, if you happen to read this, please check it out and make sure to get the embers of a forsaken star expansion! It’s very very similar to Merchants and Marauders but has a lot of unique aspects as well. Cheers!
Any chance Trey is working on a SP board game with anyone? The video games are rpg, exploration types of games which seems like it could translate into a board game. A South Park sandbox board game playing as the boys with asymmetrical powers exploring the town in a point salad Western Legends kind of a way with the other towns people being similar to the bandits with events from episodes and unique to the game. Talked about Lord of the Rings and Rebellion feeling perfect, like the IPs but letting you make your own stories. If I had a game like those in the South Park world I would have a new favorite game.
I understand Trey enjoying the idea of being Cowboys or Pirates. I want to be one of the boys in South Park creating chaos, Professor Chaos! Honestly I want to be Randy, love when he's featured in an episode. Having War of the Rings at 3 gives "The Big Fix" episode more context. That was best Dice Tower video ever!!!
One of the best TOP 10s. Loved seeing the legend AND bringing his A-game! Solid picks! Still remember my childhood christmas with Mr Hanky ;) Brilliant stuff Dice Tower and Trey!!
With Trey’s energy, enthusiasm, and knowledge of Boardgames; he would be wonderful to watch with some Dicetower folks playing Boardgames live! Maybe even a coop game of Summit!!! Please!
Summit as #1 wow!! Never considered that game before, but will definitely give it a go I think. I have been on the fence about Auztralia for a while, this list may have pushed me over the edge. I love how Trey didn't throw off the feel of the show with his star power, he just fit right in!! Nicely done gentlemen!!
Wow the cross over I never knew I wanted, but man that was awesome. Trey’s favourite games are the sand box and games you create your own narrative; could Trey possibly be in on creating his own South Park themed sand box game? That could be something special.
This was definitely one of the best 10 countdowns. Would love to see more guest celebrities, who are so passionate about board gaming as Trey, talking about their picks. Everybody brought their A game and it was reflected in the casual and lively discussion sprinkled with punches of humor.
Mike's right. The term "sandbox game" came from an actual box of sand that kids used to play in before fun was invented. On the plus side, it was open-ended (at the top usually), there were no dice, the rules were strictly home-brewed, and like the cave on Dagobah, it only contained what you brought with you. On the minus side, it was often criticized for its gritty resolution, its total lack of structure or design elements, and its tendency to work its way into the most inconvenient parts of your clothing, which led to discomfort, chafing, and fussy parents telling you not to drag sand all thru the house. While it was popular, it was considered a luxury item that not all families could afford, and in addition, a lot of kids much preferred just playing in the dirt. Also, it was easily ruined by strong rains.
Ah, so the Southpark episode where the main difference between boys and girls playing board games is that boys just want to pretend / role play and not have the most efficient turn, round, game... That's from TP's perspective / experience.
Not really a board gamer, but YT thought I should see this video. I was like, "Who cares what Trey Parker thinks!" then I was like. "Fine....I do." Then I was like "Board games?!?" Then I'm like. "I want to start checking some of these out!" Now I'm like. "Tell me what to play, Trey!"
There was a South Park episode a couple years back called “Board Girls” (S23E7) that features board games quite heavily and makes it quite clear that Trey is really into this stuff.
@@toddpinkstonisgod I was also thinking about The Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole. Both of those games had a lot of references as well but I thought they were poking fun at the hobby. I didn’t think they actually enjoyed the hobby, as well. I thought this was pretty cool!
@@SoloBoardGamingKnight Haha, I think that’s just Trey’s nature to see the funny side of things, even at the stuff he likes. But yeah, I’ve heard Trey talking about board games elsewhere (maybe on the audio commentary for the episode I mentioned?), and he’s very passionate about them.
I love how normal and nerdy this is....just talking about games for the love of games. I was specking video games but stayed through the whole video even though I don't play board games a lot...like them, just don't have many to play with. Cool video.
This was probably one of the best Dice Tower episodes I've seen. Trey was genuine and honest. The hosts gave him the floor to talk. Loved the format focusing and commenting on one person's list.
Trey Parker saying Outer Rim is dope but needs more content was a funny sense of unexpected kinship to feel with the guy who created the best cartoon show of all time
I like Eldritch Horror. Yeah the cards do tell you what happens to you, but its still good. That said its kinda long and we dont get it on the table that much due to that fact. Its one of those ones where you have to set aside a day for it and most of the time when we do a game day we would rather get two or three games on the table.
I think Trey is confusing Arkham 3E with Eldritch Horror, hence referring to the 3E as 4E, and calling 3E like pandemic. I'd be super curious to hear what he thinks of the 3E.

The fact that he’s worth half a billion dollars, but geeks out over playing board games and talking about board games with The Dice Tower, makes me unreasonably happy.
Right? He wasnt talking about the newest most expensive kickstarters (which he can clearly afford). It was about his pure enjoyment of the media.
@@JoseGuerrero-yy4wl He just doesn’t look to me like an impulse kickstarter buyer, he probably waits for reviews and until it’s out like normal people should. He can afford secondary market prices if he likes them
Wtf does money have to do with one’s interests?
He is a true inspiration!
I'll betcha he's just thrilled to be hanging out with some folks who aren't just interested in peppering him with South Park questions all the time.
Funny how well Trey fits in. You can tell he's a real board gamer and that he watches the Dice Tower. Love it

Can I ask what made you click the video? Was it the fact that Trey was on, or was it literally a random click?
Right?! I immediately started searching for these games. Can’t wait to try them!
Ditto for me. Board games do not interest me in the least but I do enjoy people nerding out over nerdy stuff.

The Dice tower and Tom Vassell were specifically mentioned on an episode of South Park

Or, to get referenced by the people who MAKE *Star Wars,* in the case of Stoklasa/Bauman/Evans? Yeah, they're huge. They're just not huge to EVERYONE like "celebrities" used to be.
No more are there Will Smiths, or Warren Beattys, who are popular with EVERYONE. Instead, now, we have celebrities that people follow because they ENJOY THE GENRE that these people represent.
Individualism is prevailing. Just like private work contracts are becoming the new thing (e.g. Uber, Etsy, eBay, etc.) , so are smaller, yet more specific, celebrities becoming a thing.
Great guest. Great list. Summit is very underrated. I think they knew that mountain climbers tend to be competitive minded.
“I probably pack more board games than clothes or anything.” Same here man! Much to the wife’s chagrin.
Who cares about your wife
I loved this video. Not only because I have been a South Park fan for 20 something years at this point, but that this was just an awesome way to introduce me to new games from someone outside of the dice tower. I loved the videos with Ruel, Jeremy, and the many other "outsiders" for the same reason. Great job all!
LOVE this. I have always enjoyed Zee's "off the beaten path" approach to games that he enjoys, and this took it to 11! You can tell they have taste that is cut from the same cloth. Thanks to Trey for making the trip... and for the courage to highlight games he enjoys regardless of their mainstream appeal.
Don't pass on this video solely because you are not a South Park fan, you'll miss out on a fantastic watch. For us massive SP fans, this was a double treat! Kudos.
I didn't know there were people who are not a South Park fan. Are you sure they exist?
I have no clue wtf they are talking about but I had to keep watching
Trey seems to be my kind of board gamer. Fantastic list.
Loved this vid and list! Such a great guy, it would be amazing to play games with him (or any of the DT crew)!
A bit shocked to see one of the creators of South Park. One of the most hilariously offensive shows of all time next to Tom. Who based on all the years I’ve watched is definitely more religious/conservative. Is interesting to say the least lol.
If anything it makes me respect Trey more, that he so effortlessly keeps it family-friendly on the DT.
Honestly South Park is only offensive to people who want to be offended. Just about every episode has a message behind them but those kinds of people aren't going to sit down and take the time to understand what's being said. They just see a clip taken out of context and get angry even if it turns out the episode in question actually agrees with them. Even those with strong opinions about something like faith are capable of enjoying what South Park is about should they give it a chance to say what it wants to say.
I was literally typing to say “I bet Trey would like Xia” (w embers expansion of course) and Tom asked him if he had played it! Trey, if you happen to read this, please check it out and make sure to get the embers of a forsaken star expansion! It’s very very similar to Merchants and Marauders but has a lot of unique aspects as well. Cheers!
❤️ Trey Parker! Ty for saving my life with your brain. 😆😘👍😎
I hope Trey got to play some games with the dice tower crew on this trip! If so, let us know which ones!
When watching Southpark spoof a cultural phenomenon, you always got the feeling that Matt & Trey understood the target of their comedy really well.
Western Legends in my #1 favorite game. I just love the sandbox feel and the strong western theme. The multi-use card play is also fantastic!
What's the best expansion and is it necessary?
@@grog3514 2nd expansion- Ante Up is awesome! Literally makes the world bigger. Base is still fun- but I wouldn’t play without the expansions
Any chance Trey is working on a SP board game with anyone? The video games are rpg, exploration types of games which seems like it could translate into a board game. A South Park sandbox board game playing as the boys with asymmetrical powers exploring the town in a point salad Western Legends kind of a way with the other towns people being similar to the bandits with events from episodes and unique to the game. Talked about Lord of the Rings and Rebellion feeling perfect, like the IPs but letting you make your own stories. If I had a game like those in the South Park world I would have a new favorite game.
I understand Trey enjoying the idea of being Cowboys or Pirates. I want to be one of the boys in South Park creating chaos, Professor Chaos! Honestly I want to be Randy, love when he's featured in an episode. Having War of the Rings at 3 gives "The Big Fix" episode more context. That was best Dice Tower video ever!!!
Shadows of Brimstone you fools. Appanently Tom Vassel has never cut and glued off the sprue...SHAME, DING!
YES, PLEASE. Reprint Merchants and Marauders! ... or the expansion at least, you seriously cannot find it at a decent price anywhere!
I still say he needs to try Shiver Me Timbers... that is a Sid Meier's Pirates-ish board game.
One of the best TOP 10s. Loved seeing the legend AND bringing his A-game! Solid picks!
Still remember my childhood christmas with Mr Hanky ;)
Brilliant stuff Dice Tower and Trey!!
With Trey’s energy, enthusiasm, and knowledge of Boardgames; he would be wonderful to watch with some Dicetower folks playing Boardgames live! Maybe even a coop game of Summit!!! Please!
I LOVED the video! Really interesting top 10 and person.
Summit as #1 wow!! Never considered that game before, but will definitely give it a go I think. I have been on the fence about Auztralia for a while, this list may have pushed me over the edge. I love how Trey didn't throw off the feel of the show with his star power, he just fit right in!! Nicely done gentlemen!!
Zee’s face at 18:19 when “Fury of Dracula” comes bubbling up in his cerebrum is fantastic.
Man I really want some streams of Trey playing board games with his crew
Best video of the year, love the chemistry between you all! I hope to see more Trey.
This was excellent... more famous people please! Neil Patrick Harris is probably pretty cheap! 😅
Deborah Ann Woll next; please and thank you!
south park should be turned into a board game too.
I think it would be a challenge to make a good South Park board game. I'll gladly buy it if it happens and is good, though. :-)
Fantastic list, Trey! And now some surprise games I need to finally get played! lol :-D Definitely try Xia with the expansion, though.
"Oh my god, they killed Sam Healey!"
"You ba...barnacleheads!"
Wow the cross over I never knew I wanted, but man that was awesome. Trey’s favourite games are the sand box and games you create your own narrative; could Trey possibly be in on creating his own South Park themed sand box game? That could be something special.
This was definitely one of the best 10 countdowns. Would love to see more guest celebrities, who are so passionate about board gaming as Trey, talking about their picks. Everybody brought their A game and it was reflected in the casual and lively discussion sprinkled with punches of humor.
I've been singing Summit's praises for years! Glad to see it get some love. Fantastic game where the story emerges from the gameplay every time!
Mike's right. The term "sandbox game" came from an actual box of sand that kids used to play in before fun was invented. On the plus side, it was open-ended (at the top usually), there were no dice, the rules were strictly home-brewed, and like the cave on Dagobah, it only contained what you brought with you. On the minus side, it was often criticized for its gritty resolution, its total lack of structure or design elements, and its tendency to work its way into the most inconvenient parts of your clothing, which led to discomfort, chafing, and fussy parents telling you not to drag sand all thru the house. While it was popular, it was considered a luxury item that not all families could afford, and in addition, a lot of kids much preferred just playing in the dirt. Also, it was easily ruined by strong rains.
Funny. He's only introduced mentioning South Park. Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's just an Oscar short of an EGOT.....isn't he?
I don't like board games at all, but Trey Parker is one of the only people I really look up to lol.
Whatttt??? This is the most unexpected video I have ever seen.
I have had nothing but good experiences with Nemesis. One of my Favourites
So.... what did you guys played afterward?
What I would do/give to play D&D with Trey Parker!!!!
Huh, so games *with points* are *point-less* :-D
Funny as hell
And the 10=11 easter egg on the #3 slide LOL
OMG! What a great surprise to find that Trey is a boardgamer!!!!
Ah, so the Southpark episode where the main difference between boys and girls playing board games is that boys just want to pretend / role play and not have the most efficient turn, round, game... That's from TP's perspective / experience.
Great observation! That was literally Trey speaking
Not really a board gamer, but YT thought I should see this video. I was like, "Who cares what Trey Parker thinks!" then I was like. "Fine....I do." Then I was like "Board games?!?" Then I'm like. "I want to start checking some of these out!" Now I'm like. "Tell me what to play, Trey!"
Trey parker and Matt stone are my idols. Nothing but respect and love for them.
Trey's list is great! I'd love to see him guest star more on the channel if he's into it. Great to see how much the channel is appreciated!
This was great! I didn’t know Trey Parker played board games.
There was a South Park episode a couple years back called “Board Girls” (S23E7) that features board games quite heavily and makes it quite clear that Trey is really into this stuff.
@@toddpinkstonisgod I was also thinking about The Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole. Both of those games had a lot of references as well but I thought they were poking fun at the hobby. I didn’t think they actually enjoyed the hobby, as well. I thought this was pretty cool!
@@SoloBoardGamingKnight Haha, I think that’s just Trey’s nature to see the funny side of things, even at the stuff he likes. But yeah, I’ve heard Trey talking about board games elsewhere (maybe on the audio commentary for the episode I mentioned?), and he’s very passionate about them.
@@toddpinkstonisgod I’m going to watch that episode tonight.
I really enjoyed the format of having a guest run through their top 10 while the rest of you weigh in on it.
Never seen this show before...is the third guy from the left a member of Rockapella?
I think he manages an Arby's now...married to that one choreographer chick
Trey Parker. One of us.
Gooble gobble! ;-)
Trey is starting to look like Mike Stoklasa from RLM
“I have the deluxe version of War of the Ring.”
Yeah, that makes sense.
Thank you Trey Parker for being live at the DT studios. You seem like a nice guy with great taste in games. Definitely stay in touch!
I love how normal and nerdy this is....just talking about games for the love of games. I was specking video games but stayed through the whole video even though I don't play board games a lot...like them, just don't have many to play with. Cool video.
This was probably one of the best Dice Tower episodes I've seen. Trey was genuine and honest. The hosts gave him the floor to talk. Loved the format focusing and commenting on one person's list.
Trey Parker is one of the most awesome people to ever walk the earth
I've legit never heard of Abomination, sounds cool
This list is fantastic! Next time bring the creators of Orphan Black. They really showed some love to bunch of boardgames in the show.
I love how they didn't seem like they were star struck or suck up.
Trey Parker saying Outer Rim is dope but needs more content was a funny sense of unexpected kinship to feel with the guy who created the best cartoon show of all time
4:47 I'd like to think there is a member of Trey's D&D group he always kills off 😂
I like Eldritch Horror. Yeah the cards do tell you what happens to you, but its still good. That said its kinda long and we dont get it on the table that much due to that fact. Its one of those ones where you have to set aside a day for it and most of the time when we do a game day we would rather get two or three games on the table.
pull out the mythos cards with tentacles on it and the Focus rule, it runs quite a bit faster.
That one dude is dressed like a Dick Tracy villain...
Ok, now have the Dice Tower guys do their top 10 lists of South Park episodes. Fair is fair.
Loved this discussion. What a great guest! Thanks for bringing Trey into the studio.
I have been trying to get hold of sub Terra for the last 6 months and I just can't get it anywhere 😭
I think Trey is confusing Arkham 3E with Eldritch Horror, hence referring to the 3E as 4E, and calling 3E like pandemic. I'd be super curious to hear what he thinks of the 3E.
Zee Garcia, Voice of the Trey-ple!
