What are the words to Mike's intro song?
Honestly, somebody should sue Queen Games for causing that much trouble and inconvenience by renaming the city games. :/
Describing a game as "really stupid" Is maybe the single greatest way to make aure I never play it 🙄
For a moment of sour reality – just read an article that Serge Laget, designer of Nidavellir (amongst other cool games) died few days ago… 🙁 may he live on via his designs!
Pure love for Sentient.
Renegade have put out some previously great games. Clank, sentient, worlds fair 1893…
1:18:00 not only is Trajan not my favorite Stefan feld game, it's not even my favorite Stefan feld game with trajan in the name.
Bloody Inn is fantastic. Just be careful; it gives engine building vibes, but if you approach it like a typical engine builder you’ll have a rough time. I had to get over that before I saw it’s charm.
I really want to try Formula E!
19 of these 40 played. A few more I own but haven't gotten to the table yet.
Keep on rolling…. good job!
I love Mike's theme song so much
I want a real review of the competitive rules for Return to Dark Tower!
The Crew & The Bloody Inn are my favorites that were mentioned this time around.
If your a fan of deck building what is your opinion of Star Realms/ Hero Realms?
Tom, speaking of diets, check into the carnivore diet. It’s ridiculously easy and amazing. It’s more a lifestyle than a temporary diet, but it’s easy to maintain, feel great, weight melts off. And you don’t need to eat any vegetables!!
"No ones gonna have the audacity to make a game that's just mechanisms"
Tom's never played a splotter game?
I'm so happy to see Glen More II: Chronicles make someone's list and for it to rank this high! 🥃
I'm totally with Zee on Nidavellir – it was fine, totally not as interesting as Tom had made it out to be, for me. The coin upgrade aspect was cool, but not as compelling as I was expecting from how Tom reacted to it.
The problem with powergrid is the only strategy is to go as fast as possible as early as possible.
EL Dorado, is one of my all-time favorite games. I love that the map is different with each game.
Would love to see a play of bloody inn during the marathon
There are so many great games that have come out in the history of board gaming, I don't have time to play them all. Because of that I limit myself to the themes that interest me the most.
Did I miss the people's 55 or did the skipped it accidentally?
In view of recent Kickstarters, I think we can stop calling Cthulhu Wars expensive. It’s a relative bargain at this point. I get people who back a $400 campaign where they’ll never hope to play all the content telling me CW is expensive, and with a straight face no less.
I missed the live stream again, but here's my following-along-at-home, same 60-51 portion of my top 100:
60. Tapestry
59. Memoir '44
58. Century: Golem Edition
57. Hive
56. Tiny Epic Pirates
55. Small World
54. Champions of Midgard
53. Root
52. Racoon Tycoon
51. HATE
They need a new theme song for Mike.
Orichalcum is fantastic!
Great pokerface Zee 😁 at #56
Marvel United isn't a bad game. It certainly has its merits. The more of it you own the better it gets. However, it is not one of the top 25 games of All-time.
I"M LOOKING AT YOU ZEE GARCIA!!
Played:
3 from Mike and Zee
4 from Tom
ALL 10 from the people. And we like ALL 10. Good job people.
Has Mike played Glorantha?
Believe it or not Istanbul is really good on Xbox as well.
The only one in this list that I've played is Marvel United
I played original PowerGrid twice this year. Fantastic game.
Someone should tell Mike that the Bloody Inn expansion is available on Amazon for like $15. It isn’t hard to get.
Tom, your changing allegiances of which country is best totally reminds me of 1984. "Norway is now the best country. It has ALWAYS been the best country"
For Istanbul, there are some good (and reasonably obvious) setup 'rules' that help avoid overly easy routes.
I've recognised Chris' and Wendy's game table in a couple of places here 😁
My only quibble with the videos are the pauses for a shoutout to a super chat whatever that is. It doesn’t make sense, becomes repetitive and slows the down the flow of the show.
39:03 Did Tom give both Zee and Mike $5 for having the same game?
Much love for Dice Tower here in Iowa!! You guys are my favorite place in Florida.
Zee is the boss here! The way he managed to go on with his poker face when Mike was talking about Skate Summer will definitely be one of the highlights of this year's list for sure.
My therapist told me I should practice gratitude. I'm grateful The Dice Tower exists. I only watch the Top 10s but I love these guys. The shows are fun and they brighten my days
Some people play Power Grid with calculators 😀
56 OMG! Well done. Who would have guessed.
To play a game with Tom and zee @ the same time . My face would kill me from all the smiling
To be fair, we heard "Splendor killer every year" mostly on Dice Tower.
It's a good game that has a very good range of different players and is quick to play.
I can play it at work during a break while having a chat.
I can play it with family very casually, where people get tons of cards and feel great about having huge displays.
I can play it with hardcore gamers where everybody watches big cards like a hawk, because the game can end very fast if somebody is left unattended.
All that in a small and very attractive package. You don't like the game. Great. But I think it's time to admit that "Splendor killer" all the time was just wrong.
I don't know bologna in chili might work. I recently found out it could be smoked which is very good.
7th Continent kills Sleeping Gods… so interesting to hear the opposite!
My 60-51:
51 Yokohama
52 Santorini
53 SHŌBU
54 Railroad Ink: Blazing Red Edition
55 Pax Pamir: Second Edition
56 Great Western Trail
57 Concordia Venus
58 Long Shot: The Dice Game
