Recap and GIVEAWAY! Top 5 Games I Played at Dice Tower West 2024

[@MurphyWoodcraftLLC]

Thanks for the shoutout Reggie, I hope the lucky winner enjoys their dice tray! 18:18 check out Murphy Woodcraft, and thank you again Reggie. So excited to be a part of your board game life after college as you are now a part of my woodworking life. ❤

[@ThinkerThemer]

Each and every time we walked passed you or got to talk it brought such a smile to our faces. It is always such a joy to see you and I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to play this year! Lots of love from (almost) Australia ❤ xxx

[@rolling.reggie]

Get home safely lovely ladies! We will cross paths again. We will have to play something virtual between now and DTW 2025 ❤️

[@lizmari7042]

Congratulations on the anniversary! I would join a Discord server and I would definitely support you on Patreon! I've been here since the beginning and really like the energy you bring to your content. 🙂And carrots!

[@rolling.reggie]

Thank you x 3 Liz!!! I am thinking Patreon and a Discord for patrons is what I am going to do. You are entered :)

[@gurnblanston2848]

That dice tray looks really sweet! Better than a bushel of carrots.

[@rolling.reggie]

Entered :) and shoutout to my boy MurphyWoodcraft!

[@stevevids1]

Carrots! I had to cancel my trip to Dice Tower West this year, so I really enjoyed your recap. I almost felt like I was there 😊. Thanks very much for sharing your experience. Maybe I'll see you there next year. I just subscribed & am looking forward to checking out more of your content. Keep up the great work!

[@rolling.reggie]

Entered :) I hope you go to DTW 2025! It's going to be at the Westgate (allegedly)

[@darlene7165]

Congratulations on your one year anniversary! That's a great accomplishment! It was awesome playing games with in the #DTWOUTBACK! I really enjoyed Whale to Look and can't wait to get a copy of it! I played my favorite color orange....like carrots! :)

[@rolling.reggie]

#DTWOUTBACK for life!!!! Was so awesome to play with you and thanks for our cool banner. Entered :)

[@deanmuramoto3918]

Hello Reggie, It is great to hear your Dice Tower West Recap. CARROTS, That I didn't get to go, but heard all the names of people I hung out with the last two years a DTW.

[@rolling.reggie]

All good people at DTW, good vibes only! Thanks for watching. Entered 🥕

[@elainetyger]

I played life of the Amazonia for the first time last week, having bought a beautiful Kickstarter edition secondhand from someone who prefers heavier games. I think of it as Cascadia on steroids. Even though there is a bag like quacks, the bag building is really more like the deck building of dominion or hardback, where you're trying to get rid of the coins and low numbers of resources as time goes on and they become less valuable compared to the other discs. There's not really a booby trap like in quacks. My friend and I who played it both loved it and can't wait to play it again.

[@rolling.reggie]

Big agree it’s basically a traditional deckbuilder but with a bag and tokens. No push your luck whatsoever. I need to find a copy!

[@Daley63]

My first game con ever was at DTW. One game I played that should be on everyone's radar is Windmill Valley. The individual player action cogs were so cool!!

[@alisonwentland3765]

Ooooo, so happy to hear that about Windmill Valley from someone who has played it. I pre-ordered the kickstarter version when I saw it.

[@rolling.reggie]

Omg it looks so beautiful, idk how I missed this one. Added to my Want to Play!

[@brettwinters5569]

I too was at DTW and this was my first Con ever since diving into this amazing hobby during Covid. Life of the Amazonia topped my play list (along with Thunder Road). The connection of Cascadia and Quacks is like peas and carrots! So good. Love your content Reggie, thank you!

[@rolling.reggie]

Love DTW and will keep going back! Thunder Road looked so fun, just never got around to it. Entered in the giveaway :)

[@adib.7545]

Life of the Amazonia sounds like a great game, I also really enjoy nature themed board games. I'm gonna have to check that one out. And congrats on 1 year of KZbin! 😊 carrots

[@rolling.reggie]

Thank you! it was an awesome game, I need to buy it haha. Seems like it has a ton of replayability. Entered :)

[@MrNorthwestern]

Congrats on a year of RollingReggie! Always appreciate your content, and excited for your carrots giveaway!

[@rolling.reggie]

Thank you and good luck! 🥕

[@dianadavenport8539]

Carrots 😊. Excited to have discovered your channel. Congrats on your year anniversary and hope to see more content. I’m a diehard fan of DTW but unfortunately had to miss it this year. I liked this video and subscribed to your channel, and I do support content creators on Patreon and PayPal because I so appreciate what you do. Drinking coffee in my ThinkerThemer mug is one of my life’s little pleasures so yes, Merch is fun. Keep up the great work. Happy to have discovered your channel.

[@rolling.reggie]

Hi Diana! Welcome to the channel. I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this. If you like Amy and Maggie then I know you have great taste :) Entered 🥕

[@picklebuckeye]

As for discord servers, yes, I’m in a *ton* of board game servers so I’m always down for more hahah. Thank you so much for the awesome giveaways! Carrots!

[@rolling.reggie]

Glad to hear it! Entered 🥕

[@omeloon]

CARROTS! I have joined Patreon for a podcast I enjoy. I think it was key for them that they started building a real big community on Facebook first. And then they did start offering much more content, but they also had tiers depending on what people wanted.

[@rolling.reggie]

That's a good idea! I'll have to leverage our Instagram community as well. Entered 🥕

[@BillyIndiana]

Glad you had a great time at DTW! I had to miss this year, but hope to return next spring. Great giveaway and congrats on the channel growth👍 I do love carrots 🥕!

[@rolling.reggie]

Thanks Billy! You too! Entered :)

[@craftyliu]

Life of the Amazonia looks really neat! My favorite game at DTW was The Fox Experiment. Thanks for sharing your experience! Hope I win the carrots! 🤪

[@rolling.reggie]

It was neat! I have my own copy of Fox Experiment still on my shelf of shame ahhhh. Entered 🥕

[@beckynoel840]

CARROTS...thanks for another great video. I think I might need Life of Amozonia now, it looks like my kind of game!

[@rolling.reggie]

You should! Entered 🥕

[@Xorrel]

I would be up for supporting on Patreon/other. I would probably join a Discord but I'm not very active in the discord channels I'm in now so take that with a grain of salt. This was a great list! Many of these I'm interested in (list spoilers below). I still haven't played 'Dune', it's on my to-do list. Love 'Welcome to' but I've only played it the once on BGA, need to get it played a few more times. Glad to hear 'Whale to Look' is good, my copy is supposed to arrive tomorrow :D 'Coffee Rush' was on my "maybe get this" list, it's gone to the top of that list after your comments!

[@scarecrow110]

New subscriber. I came because I was interested in the giveaway, but your game tastes seem to align pretty closely to mine, so I'll be sticking around. I'm especially glad you found Welcome To... Such a great game to have in anyone's collection. We can enjoy the heavier weight games, but its always good to have something a little breezier and accessible. carrots

[@rolling.reggie]

Welcome!!! We all need more balance in our board game tastes. Welcome To really surprised me. Entered :)

[@PBMatthews254]

Carrots! ☺️. Enjoy your content and always love to hear about people's experiences with games both old and new.

[@rolling.reggie]

More to come! Entered 🥕

[@vanessar8056]

Thank you for the video! One recommendation I like to see more of is co-op games. What are your favorites? All the best! Uhh carrots haha

[@rolling.reggie]

Thanks for the idea! I definitely need to get a list of some co-op games. Some recent favorites are Marvel Champions and Horrified. Entered 🥕

[@AdrianPaneto]

All about about them carrots. Thanks for sharing the games you played since I have not played them before.

[@rolling.reggie]

Entered 🥕

[@Joe_Don]

I am so glad that you had such a good time! If you make it to Dice Tower East this summer I might see you there. I have heard such good stuff about life of the amazonia! I would really love to give it a try. By any chance does it have rabbits? Are there rabbits along the Amazon River? Which begs the question. Do carrots grow along the Amazon?

[@rolling.reggie]

Nice question! Entered 🥕

[@sdpam3463]

Carrots Thanks for sharing what you played at DTW and congrats on the success of your channel!🎉

[@rolling.reggie]

Thank you Pam :) entered.

[@ChrisMartin-mz9bt]

Carrots! Great video, Reggie! DTW looks like a blast. I hope to make it out there, some time.

[@rolling.reggie]

You should! DTW is my fave so far. Entered :)

[@don_dad]

Dice Tower West is on my short list of cons to go to. I heard that they have really good carrots nearby! I typically go to GenCon, but need to find a con where I can actually play more and. It just shop.

[@rolling.reggie]

I’ve heard that about GenCon. And nice 🥕

[@rolling.reggie]

Entered!

[@silvermcdaid]

I was also at Dice Tower West. Met so many great people and got to play with Monique and Naveen from Before You Play and Maggie from ThinkerThemer. They are going back to Westgate hotel which was the first year I went. The hotel rooms were nicer there but the food options weren't as good. Welcome To is awesome and they have ton of different maps. Have you tried Next Station Toyko. Life on the Amazonia is great. I would compare it more to Orleans or Altiplano than Quacks since it's not a press your luck element. Just drawing tiles and taking actions based off tiles drawn. Coffee Rush has awesome components and is really good and fun.

[@rolling.reggie]

Those are some celeb appearances! I am excited for the prospect of Westgate especially since they said they'll have the whole convention hall next year. I just got a copy of NS: Tokyo but haven't played it in-person yet, it's solid on BGA though. I need to play Orleans/Altiplano those are v high on my list now thanks. Thank you for commenting :)

[@LucianZweiFawkes]

I was demoing Life of the Amazonia in the demo zone in the morning and taught alot of people this wonderful game.

[@rolling.reggie]

I think it's only going to get more popular with time!

[@grizzlygrowl8731]

I love Quacks and I bet I would line Life of the Amazonia! Definitely on my list to get now! Also, got to eat your carrots 🥕

[@rolling.reggie]

To be clear, it doesn't much push your luck! Just the bag building portion. Gotta eat your carrots, entered.

[@icydeadpeeps]

Carrots. Would love the dice tray. Great roundup video.

[@rolling.reggie]

Good luck! Entered 🥕

[@JoeOster-h2w]

Just found your channel and love your enthusiasm. I am not sure what carrots has to do with the games but they are good to eat. hope to be able to continue to watch and appreciate your content.

[@rolling.reggie]

Welcome! Downtown Farmer's Market has carrots as one of the items in the game :)

[@stylinsizzle]

I just got Coffee Rush and I love it! I don’t see too many people talking about it too 😊 it’s a nice quick easy game for me and my husband (mostly bc I’m terrible at it haha) thanks for your awesome video! I would totally support on Patreon! I’m more of an introvert who just appreciates videos and always amazing to support the closer knit channels! PS carrots 😊

[@rolling.reggie]

Yeah, it seems to be under the radar! You clearly have great taste :) thank you for the feedback my introverted friend and you're entered.

[@RebCrook]

Subscribed, haven't heard of whale to look before, thanks for bringing it to our attention, carrots!

[@rolling.reggie]

Welcome Rebecca!! :) Whale to Look is the new hotness lol Entered 🥕

[@davidko9289]

Carrots! That's a beautiful dice tray.

[@rolling.reggie]

It sure is! Entered 🥕

[@aaronmoore54]

Carrots Just came across your channel, you’re doing a great job. I too am currently in a no buy phase…It’s really difficult, hahaha. Keep up the great work.

[@rolling.reggie]

We can protect our wallets together haha welcome to the channel Aaron. Entered 🥕

[@doeyjo4561]

Love how Dune Imperium has the artwork that matches up with the recent movies’ actors; need Josh Brolin to lead me to victory

[@rolling.reggie]

I will send you a pic, I focused so much on combat because I had Thanos lol

[@VirgilCummings]

Coincidentally...direwolf released dune imperium the day you posted this video. Its amazing check it out! Great way to play dune while on the go!...also...carrots.

[@rolling.reggie]

My 'No Buy Year' gets weaker by the day XD. Entered :)

[@matthieucox1593]

Discovered you because this video! Love you energy! :) Carrots

[@rolling.reggie]

Yes! Thank you! Welcome welcome welcome. Entered 🥕

[@don_dad]

A few other channels i follow have been going to Ko-Fi lately. I dont know much more other than they said it was more friendly towards them.

[@redheadbanjo]

Carrots! Downtown Farmers Market has been on my wish list for so long. Crossing my fingers. 😊

[@rolling.reggie]

Good luck!! Entered 🥕

[@lazulin]

Good roundup - I'll look into coffee rush. I have seize the bean, which is also a very pretty coffee game. That farmer's market game looks cute - I can imagine little bunnies going to the farmer's market to pick out carrots. I'm not too into discord/merch/patreon so can't really say much about that.

[@rolling.reggie]

Thank you for commenting! I might have to collect all the coffee theme games in addition to bird themed lol. Entered 🥕

[@AdrianPaneto]

Yes to discord and merch.

[@davidczapala377]

CARROTS! Thanks Reggie. You are one of the few board game channels I make sure to check if there is new content daily.

[@rolling.reggie]

Wow, that is very special to hear. More to come! Entered.

[@Ashy_Feet]

Carrots! Great to see you at Dice Tower. Hope to play something at a con w you this year. Moe

[@rolling.reggie]

[@michaeldeantippens7431]

[@rolling.reggie]

Thank you, that Hot Games Room at Dice Tower West is awesome. Entered 🥕

[@tobyuecker9660]

Carrots! Thanks for this video and for all your contributions.

[@rolling.reggie]

You bet! Entered :)

[@jeffhiatt1682]

Carrots. Nice summary of DTW. Looks like it was a lot of fun. Life of Amazonia. The comparison to Quacks might mislead some people, since Quacks has a heavy push your luck component in addition to the bag building, while LoA, doesnt have the push your luck element. That's key for me, as the all or nothing element in Quacks is not something I enjoy.

[@rolling.reggie]

Great point! Others have mentioned Orleans/Altiplano as a closer comparison :) I gotta try those. Entered 🥕

[@erdricht2029]

Nice vid! Thanks for the info and opportunity! carrots

[@suevyue]

Carrots! 🥕🥕🥕 No buy year!?!? Brave and aspirational!

[@rolling.reggie]

Lol I am failing horribly, i am not a good role model. Entered:)

[@Redbrick2182]

Carrots! I've loved all of my solo plays of Dune Imperium Uprising so far

[@rolling.reggie]

Can't wait to get my own copy and try solo! Entered 🥕

[@daem0nfaust]

Ok, I am intrigued with this Life in the Amazonia...

[@rolling.reggie]

Yes! It's great, but it is not push your luck like Quacks if that is what drew you. I may be misleading folks with that terminology!

[@daem0nfaust]

@@rolling.reggienah... it's the animals. I haven't even played quacks. :)

[@edwardhenry]

Yay! I want to but some carrots at the Farmer's Market. I would definitely join a discord

[@ImaginEric]

1. I don’t think I can handle another Discord honestly. I wish more BG content creators had combined Discords. It gets overwhelming! 2. Merch is cool. Like buying games online, the shipping often makes merch pricey. 3. I do use Patreon to support some content creators. I like it as a way to get exclusive access and it feels like a private community. Could always use Patreon in place of Discord to set up BGA games with your supporters. And now to enter the giveaway: What did one snowman say to the other? Do you smell carrots ?

[@rolling.reggie]

Thank you mucho Eric!! I think I am too late to the game to join other creators - everyone already has established ones and it feels like mooching to just latch onto their communities. I am leaning toward a Patron-exclusive discord for a more tight-knit group. Entered 🥕

[@PablowingUrMind]

Carrots I am thinking on throwing a morning game day to play Coffee Rush and Cafe 😀

[@rolling.reggie]

That sounds like the perfect morning. Entered :)

[@ameraceffj]

Carrots 🥕 Keep up the great videos, Reggie.

[@rolling.reggie]

Thanks a lot! Entered.

[@punchboardcathedral]

Thanks for gaming with me, bud. Glad we finally got to meet up in person. It was a blast and I didn't even mind losing every game to Phil.

[@rolling.reggie]

Same! We have fun even when getting demolished lol

[@elainetyger]

Carrots. Also, I would recommend that if you have a Discord channel, you only allow it for Patreon subscribers. I get discord channels from gaming rules and the broken Meeple that way. The biggest thing though, and most of the reason I support at executive producer level, is the slack channel on gaming rules. Over there, we have developed a close knit group and we organize a group on board game arena where we can limit the players to people within the group, so we can be more confident that we're not getting people who are just going to drop out or else force us out to increase their rating. But for the discord channel, I would kick in a buck a month if I knew it was Patreon subscribers and no access to random trolls. Also, thanks for the reviews of whale to look and coffee rush; I will look for them for the one group I play with who like shorter games or lighter games.

[@rolling.reggie]

This is great input, thank you! Also, Whale to Look & Coffee Rush were the perfect light palate cleansers after heavy games.

[@rolling.reggie]

Entered!

[@houserouse]

Carrots. Thank you for the wonderful videos. Looking forward to more.

[@kelvinong1887]

[@illannoyed9431]

Maybe I missed it Reggie and I apologize if I did. I know that the Dice Tower typically gives away games at the end of the event. Did you get something and if so, what was it?

[@rolling.reggie]

Hello! There's lots of events at DTW and there is Play to Win raffles but I didn't play many of those games. I usually like to spend my time in the Hot Games Room or playing new to me games from the library :)

[@nicholasschneider6655]

Just from what I've seen on your videos, aren't those coffee cups (and the cubes, beans that go in them) for Coffee Rush absurdly, ridiculously small? Unless this is also meant to be a dexterity game, playing with those would seem to be incredibly frustrating. Carrots.

[@rolling.reggie]

They are definitely tiny! I have abnormally large hands and it didn't bother me too much for two plays. But, you should def try it out IRL before buying. Entered :)

Looked so fun, loved all the games reviewed. I need to get some more turn based games going in BGA again! *CARROTS* Probably would join the discord and would like it for bga life. Don’t know about the merch but I’ll think on it. Patreon is the one most people do when they are smaller. I know of a few MTG channels that are pretty small but have 60+ paying. Would be a great way to connect on discord and build the community further.

[@rolling.reggie]

I think Patreon is the way to go :) entered.
