Please, PLEASE make a video on your ranking processes. How you weigh up your positioning and how much your biases between genres or themes factors in. Always love your content. Thanks lads

[@boardtoplay]

The top 100 videos were fantastic but this video truly shows what makes you guys a hit with me. The speed and clarity at which you rattle off all these games is incredible! Hats off to you gents! I can only hope to be half this good at breaking down games when people ask about them😅

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Thank you so much for the kind words!!

[@markbeaulieu411]

I enjoyed the 101-200 list. I like that you have diverse tastes. Filler games, roll and writes, family games, light, medium, and heavy games. Keep up the good work. You guys are great. Loved seeing your 2 dogs at the end. Adorable dogs

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Best pups around!!

[@TheDavidPhillips]

Watching your Top 100, I was like "man... I don't like any of the same games as these cats..." but after watching this video I'm like "oooooh, we like the same games, they just don't like the right ones hard enough - that checks out." If this logic holds true, then your 300-201 are all gonna be absolute bangers.

[@scyldscefing3913]

I love this rapid-fire format.

[@scyldscefing3913]

Glad to see Village on the list. This was the first euro-game my wife and I played. Still one of our favorites.

[@TheBrothersMurph]

such a good game. even coming into it late we really enjoyed it

[@PatrickWDunne]

This is very ambitious! A whole 200 different board games!

[@TheBrothersMurph]

so. many. games

[@dansioui9819]

I agree with Mike’s comments about Isle of Cats which is why we play Family Mode. Never went back

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Truth!

[@jimgrant9081]

Nice video and thanks for adding the graphics for each game. It made it easy to find the ones I wanted to hear more about and allowed me to skip some that I already knew.

[@BRBTheFireball]

After adding in your next 100 games, Mike still wins my crossover battle. Mike has 70 games in my 2022 Top 250, whereas Nick has 62 games in my 2022 Top 250.

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Yusssssss

[@CheeseDud]

Loved this one! Nice job, guys

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Thanks cheesedud!

[@JosephFlemming]

Lorenzo really brings out my AP. Wow this game is fun but OUCH the choices are so so so tight and tough.

[@rossjaax]

I enjoyed your top 100 and with your 101-200, your guys have become my ‘must watch’ board game channel. Your preparation is appreciated and your recall of game mechanics and theme and what makes each game special is amazing and a joy to watch.

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Awww thanks for the kind words that’s so awesome and we’re so happy to hear you enjoy!

[@jameskirk4692]

Thank you for this long list of your favorite games in this video.

[@evannadeau3938]

I’ve always wondered why you guys don’t really talk about Three Sisters. Does Fleet’s “sameyness” (words) keep you from playing it? I have not played Fleet so I don’t know if it’s similar, but three sisters has this dice rolling puzzle + rondell mechanic and that might switch it up enough for you to be willing to replay it a few more times. I do see how it could feel samey though after a while still.

[@TheBrothersMurph]

At this point I think it does stop us playing fleet. At least that’s why it doesn’t get off the shelf very often. To be fair we have played fleet a buuuuuuunch of times. There is an expansion which helps with the sameyness apparently. Really want to try three sisters just haven’t come across it yet but I feel like there will be a lot of fun to be had with that.

[@teejleague3838]

I think Dice Miner isn't nearly as lucky and some think. You can choose your special ability, choose your dice the first time you pick them, and there's a lot of strategy in deciding how much "safeguard" dice you'll choose, etc. We LOVE it thanks to ya'll.

[@TheBrothersMurph]

It’s so good!

[@joshestes6427]

So I have played 49 of your games on this list, a lot more crossover with all the duplicates, but I also had 3 that I own but have not played yet. Great video bros have a wonderful day!

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Cheers have a great day!

[@jacobschmidt8422]

Has anyone else been thinking the whole time through after Nick informed us Paladins wasn't in his top 100 that the game was trolling him the whole time as it sat on the shelf just over his shoulder? Now that it's true ranking has been revealed it's just trolling even harder.

[@dr3putt62]

Sooo cool. Getting back in the hobby in 2019, I rated games played 3 or more times. So I rated 191 of 399 games played

[@monstermash4324]

I love extra Merry and Pip time! Would also still love to see you guys re visit your favourite A-Z games! Looking forward to more Bing Bonginess in 2023!

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Merry and Pippin rock!!

[@JosephFlemming]

There’s a Fleet dice game iOS app in beta that I play sometimes. It’s taking forever for it to be developed but it will be a fantastic way to play digitally.

[@JosephFlemming]

Ultimate Railroads is about the price I paid for Russian railroads with all expansions because it was massively out of print. So they reprint it with everything and you still gotta spend the cash haha. That Asian expansion exclusive though…. Stone in my shoe!

[@squared82]

Love to see the Criss Cross love

[@TheBrothersMurph]

its so simple and so good

[@JosephFlemming]

I dismissed Isle of Skye for years as merely a Carcassonne rip off but wow I like it so so much more. Love the scoring method which is one of my favorite game mechanics of all time.

[@markusbiewer2756]

Like the game, but I suck at it :-(

[@a.perilli8096]

Great list! Iquazu sounds like a great game. Does it play well at two players?

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Yes indeed!

[@JonathonV]

Okay. I'm actually going to do this. 100 ranked games. Here we go.

INUIT: THE SNOW FOLK (+21) 103. 7 WONDERS (-73) 102. QUARTO (+72) 101. LIBERTALIA (+4) Biggest rise: 102. QUARTO (+72). Not surprising because this game is having a random resurgence this year! Biggest plummet: 236. CATAN (-162). Grew up with this game but had a play this year where the luck made the game absurd. I'm sure it'll eventually climb. Closest to you: 196. CALICO (-56). Only one off of Nick's ranking! No exact crossovers in the Top 200. Great to hear some love for WILD SPACE and REMEMBER OUR TRIP. Officially the longest comment I've ever made. Thanks for a great video! Happy Holidays!

[@TheBrothersMurph]

This is AWESOME!! You’ve been rocking it this whole time and we love it

[@JonathonV]

@@TheBrothersMurph I’m glad you noticed! 😊Thanks for the inspiration!

[@dandanita1692]

7 Wonders 103 and Duel 200 ? what is wrong with you ?

[@MauricioHoffman]

"...COLOMA... YOU HAVE TO PLAY COLOMA" -me at dice tower west 2020

[@TheBrothersMurph]

And it’s soooo good!

[@roseability86]

​@@TheBrothersMurph I bought it for my brother for his 30th and he loved it! He's a wannabe cowboy despite living in the (Wild) West Midlands in England 😆

[@JosephFlemming]

Coffee Roaster I never got because… it’s solo only but I did try the app. It’s cool but was a bit hard to learn at first because the rules seemed a bit obtuse for me.

[@JosephFlemming]

I love drafting and love polyomino tile games so Isle of Cats is easily in my top 100

[@JosephFlemming]

I really really love Wreck Raiders… one of my better KS surprises.

[@middleclassboardgamer]

Nick, I know we're not on speaking terms, but hear me out: Shards of Infinity > Star/Hero Realms. Trust me on this.

[@JosephFlemming]

Get the expansion for Fleet dice game… it adds some more variety to your choices.

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Nice!

[@middleclassboardgamer]

Beast Mode!!

[@JosephFlemming]

I really like Lanterns dice… wayyyyyy more then the original Lanterns.

[@JosephFlemming]

Sierra west is brilliant but wow the AP can drag this game.

[@JosephFlemming]

I sold Tiny Towns but I was also initially excited by it. I’d play it if there was an app maybe…

[@mattyweaves]

200-101?!? These games are all trash obviously...oh, I added a bunch to my wishlist. Nevermind 😋

[@rolling.reggie]

Save Smallworld to play with me at Dice Tower West! I’ve always wanted to play

[@Poiuytrew.Q]

Wow there is a difference of 133 for Pagoda between Mike and Nick.

[@johncarson2514]

Tiny Towns, one of the few games my wife doesn't like because it is just too frustrating to be fun. It's much better as a solo game in eyes but it probably gets culled in the new year.

[@TheBrothersMurph]

It is really brutal, and that can make it les enjoyable

[@JosephFlemming]

It’s an endless annoyance to me that nobody sells an insert for Potion Explosion that holds all the expansions. The box it big enough but it’s a real pain to have it all in baggies lol.

[@Dnicole32]

Not even a little bit of love for Ravensburger’s Villainous?

[@TheBrothersMurph]

We’ll give it just a smidge

[@dougwarr9459]

Would these games be ranked mostly as 7, 7.5, 8?

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Yeah probably somewhere around there

[@dougwarr9459]

Sorry about Correa guys! 😮

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Ah it's alright. We were 50/50 on the whole thing anyway

[@MidwestMeeple]

Watching 🤓

[@looktothefuture84]

200-101 Great Games! 100-11 Trash! 10-1 Best Games Ever 😁

[@TheBrothersMurph]

This is the way
