Summer Spectacular - Camilla, Joey and Chris' Top 10 Games of All Time

[@stevemyers8588]

Thanks for the entire series. The interaction between Camilla, Joey, and Chris is contagious in a fantastic way. Although my tastes typically run drastically different, the excitement the three show with each game is amazing. And, I appreciate learning all about the various games. Again, thank you.

[@njuns999]

Agree, absolutely love this trio!

[@mattvucu6706]

I love it, Joey and Milla go off the walls and you can see the gears turning in Chris’s head as he contemplates how to keep the show together

[@pauljackson7872]

With no disrespect to any others, this was my favorite grouping for the top 100. So much fun watching you guys. Thank you for showing your enjoyment for your picks. From 100 to 1 your energy stayed the same. Awesome job you guys. Hey Tom, I think you found lightning in a bottle here. More please.

[@BoardGameHype]

Agreed! This is the best trio.

[@JJ_TheGreat]

You do know that there were only 2 groupings, right?

[@chauveet]

​@@JJ_TheGreat I haven't kept up entirely, I thought there was a group with Roy and Wendy in it.

[@DownwardBear]

Wow their energy is contagious … I smiled so big and laughed so hard along with Camilla, Joey, and Chris through every episode … please please please do more panel shows with these three … I’d watch any content they choose to talk about even if Joey wants to continue to remove gladiators and change rules 😂 … thank you for all the amazing moments and positive feels 🙏

[@cbazler]

"And that's how you play Spirit Island!" Classic.

[@schnetziiiii]

This series was really great everyone, such an enjoyable group to watch talk about games. I’ll definitely tune in for the next iteration!

[@MisterAbysmul]

Broom Service is Amazing and so underrated! Great pick Chris.

[@joeferreti9442]

Well, how underrated can a KdJ winner be? But seriously, I like "Broom Service" very much, but it has a runaway leader problem when a player comes into one of certain spots at least on the front side board.

[@thedicetower]

@joeferreti9442 Exactly as much as Broom Service. Even the KdJ award didn't help it sell enough to merit releasing an expansion.

[@TheEpinema]

Fantastic team. Please do more things with Joey, Camilla, and Chris, their energy and chemistry is fantastic!.

[@justinkitton5492]

Camilla became Zee so slowly I didn't realize until now

[@dadtier564]

Too Many Bones! Legitimately such an INCREDIBLE experience every time

[@JJ_TheGreat]

Too Many DICE!!!!!!!!!!

[@Sgrand80]

Missed the live show :( but here are my top ten! Enjoyed the series and watching ya top 100 games. 1. Skytear 2. Eldfall Chronicles 3. My Father's Work 4. Dark Rituals: Malleus Maleficarum 5. Frosthaven 6. Champions of Midgard 7.Beast 8. Western Legends 9. Scythe 10. Terrorscape

[@TravelMuseAgency]

Chris ... "betwixt" is closer in meaning to in-between than between. As in "in the space separating two people" rather than "shared".

[@Freezel1ght]

I'm waiting for this channel to have videos from the series "Top of the Tops" or "top of the games that have never been in the tops" or "top of the videos where you discuss the tops" etc.

[@pnuthedstroyr]

Don’t worry Milla you aren’t the only one who champions Obsession. It’s in my top 10 as well 😃

[@GGdeTOURS37]

My God! We have tons of games and I don't know half of the games here! It's a mad mad world!

[@lystic9392]

You sold me on Claustrophobia with your excitement.

[@JedisTrek]

Exact crossover with Chris. Dominion for #1. Some day, Chris, I hope to play a couple rounds of Dominion with you -- it's on the bucket list. :)

[@FlamethrowerJane]

Great job, Chris! Try keeping some chocolate covered almonds in your pocket. Toss them as needed to distract the hyperactive kids (make them work for it).😊

[@dougwarr9459]

Chris! I love Broom Service! It’s #12 in my top 100.

[@thedicetower]

Great minds think alike!

[@nickvanee916]

Ecos is in my top 10 when at 4+ players. It unfortunately feels too slow at lower player counts but the big table just crammed with animals and terrain is so fun to experience with many players.

[@jaycareno5379]

Love the Metroplex in the background and I believe the Pops are from the new Voltron series. 👍

[@BenetTribble]

I don't know why Skinny Fox was so funny, but that one got me good!

[@jasonberezowski2869]

Joey is just the absolute best, his laugh always gets me laughing. While my tastes are a lot closer to Chris', I would absolutely love to have players like Joey at my table.

[@MeganDixon-vi8xe]

You guys make me chuckle! Great dynamic!

[@MrHepp]

I am here to support Chris' choice of Broom Service. Great game!

[@txsportsfreak02]

I saw that y'all are going to get about 10 inches of rain the next week. Stay safe y'all!

[@TapCat]

Really grateful that the guest intros are gone. It was fun the first time but returning to the nice, professional transitions was a welcome change in my eyes.

[@daniellebackus819]

Feast for Odin is not particularly hard to teach or play. Camilla and Joey need to try it! Definitely one of my Top 5 favorite games.

[@zhetarho]

I echo what others have said: this was a great group for the top 100. Really fun to watch. Here's my top 10: 10. Dixit 9. Space Base 8. Otys 7. Copenhagen 6. Honey Buzz 5. The Crew: The Quest for Planet Nine 4. Ark Nova 3. Orlèans 2. Project L 1. Blackout: Hong Kong

[@ggames33]

I own dominion and spirit island. The expansions are great, too. Like them both so much i dont even feel the need to get other games.

[@dischound]

Yes! Too Many Bones in the top 5! Camilla crafted a great list of games.

[@JJ_TheGreat]

Too Many Dice!

[@xForceCh0keYou]

oh MAN! ECOS at #2, I love to see it. Such an underrated game

[@KingMePlease3]

Alright Joey, I was quite disappointed with you dropping Dead Reckoning 6 spots, but you redeemed yourself with moving Western Legends (so epic with every expansion) and Space Base into your top 5. Definitely seeking you out to play some games if I ever make it to a Dice Tower Con. My top 10 of all time: 10 Dune Imperium 9 Terraforming Mars 8 Wingspan 7 Space Base 6 The Quest for El Dorado 5 Disney Lorcana 4 Unfair 3 Western Legends 2 Foundations of Rome 1 Dead Reckoning

[@bibleboardgames]

Great picks and Comradery from 100-1 Dune Imperium is the one Dune version I have not tried yet but would play. I want to try Destinies now. Thunderoad. I had a spot to fill at a Con and it was a very fun bumping race game with the Mad Max-ish theme.

[@annewirth51]

That was fun. Thank you so much 🎉

[@Gokkus87]

It is funny how for me Chris has the 'best' overall top 100, but in this video I vastly prefer Camilla's picks.

[@thomasphillips6131]

I loved this top 100 guys!

[@torisimons77]

Those darn gladiators!

[@HazardGoat]

Hadrian's Wall is great, but I only play it solo, I'd never want to have to teach it to someone else.

[@freeheeler00]

Alright, so here's a list of the "Top 10 Games This Yooper Wants to Play Right Now!": 10. Spirit Island 9. Marvel United 8. Arkham Horror The Card Game 7. Terraforming Mars Ares Expedition 6. Lost Ruins of Arnak 5. Parks 4. Meadow 3. Terraforming Mars 2. Great Western Trail (2nd Ed) 1. Sleeping Gods: Distant Skies

[@grog3514]

Where in the UP are you?

[@njuns999]

I'm very close from getting Sleeping Gods DS, never played the original one though but still, seems sooo cool!

[@davidl9191]

This was fun to watch, but the mic levels at The Dice Tower really need to be looked at. It’s difficult to listen to when the hosts are shouting into the mics. The distortion is headache inducing!

[@johnbrown6230]

Love all the lists! Arkham Horror: TCG and Spirit Island are also in my top ten. I recently got into Too Many Bones, and it would probably go up in my ratings.

[@Kentchangar]

While I enjoy Roy, Wendy & Jason's Top 10 more, two of the top 1s here are in my personal top 5. So... :)

[@Ghostgamer84]

Oathsworn is totally a boss battler! I loved the story part of the game but even the rules say you can skip it if you want.

[@maizetoken377]

I just noticed the music for the #7 animation has accents every seven notes. Very clever! Who did the music for this?

[@maizetoken377]

And the music for #5 is in 5!

[@thedicetower]

Dave Culling. He did the music specifically for these.

[@Sikkasill]

Has Mike Tom and Zee done their top 100 in a video yet? Or they arent making a video this time?

[@MrHiekkis]

They do theirs at the start of the year. So next time we will hear about their lists is start of 2025 😊

[@Sikkasill]

@@MrHiekkis Oh yes thats right I forgot!

[@rachelandryan]

Agreed with Chris and Mike, Zoo Vadis is a masterpiece. It often features on top 3 Reiner Knizia games lists. Broom Service is also a great pick, it has such a fun interactive aspect

[@JJ_TheGreat]

Yes, I live Broom Service!

[@edwindrood2816]

This was so fun

[@BoardGameHype]

Joey is hilarious. It wasn’t Roy’s joke at all 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@codainlaw]

Chris Yi dropping the “betwixt” like nothing. Elizabethan bois will hear this and say “heck yeah.”

[@FlamethrowerJane]

Super enjoyable top 10! So nice to see highly ranked games that aren't just the usual suspects. But Tom, maybe you need to start monitoring everyone's caffeine intake, just sayin'.😂

[@mylor1066]

Best top 100 crew yet. Such good energy bouncing around!

[@JJ_TheGreat]

35:10 Joey, Have you played Beast? I know a lot of people like that one, too!

[@deedd4401]

in the whoever was in charge of camera defense... Camilla's logo on the shirt seemed to be the perfect center finder -perspective wise

[@jonplaysmemoir4461]

Cool to see Dominion getting some love. I wish my wife loved it as much as I do.

[@BRBTheFireball]

My Top 250 Games list for 2024 won't be finalized until at least October, but I can offer some projections on how many crossovers I will have with the three of you. As it stands right now, I will have 25 crossovers with Joey, 21 crossovers with Camilla, and 36 crossovers with Chris. And, as the Dominion GM at the World Boardgaming Championships, I thank you, Chris, for making our game your new #1. Great series as always!

[@hugocruz2439]

Glad to see that Zoo Vadis love ❤

[@IanTanLK]

Do it!

[@VexylObby]

Dominion looked 40 years old when I got into the hobby. There is no way now I would be remotely interested in it even now. 😂

[@Alloniya]

Yes but it’s still a nice, fast and fun game

[@billable1861]

I’m the same way if it isn’t aesthetically pleasing I don’t want to bring it out around people.

[@IJJusion]

I bought it (and a couple expansions) enjoyed it and eventually sold it, then I got the app years later, played the base game (as expansions are way overpriced in the app) and played it 300+ times, after playing the app I have no reason to own the game again, but always happy to play it, its a great game.

[@chuckm1961]

Your loss

[@VexylObby]

@@chuckm1961 No way, can it be a loss, if I am already full with all of the board gaming experiences I could really want. I guess dominion was just replaced by other things that did the same thing, but with other things going on.

[@FlamethrowerJane]

Please increase Chris' mic volume next time! Camilla and Joey probably don't need mics at all.😂

[@DiegoDeschain]

The Spirit Island board makes it look like a 20 year old game that is on the brink of receiving a second edition with an actual modern, colorful board and whatnot. Plus, from how complex people say it is, it also looks like it could benefit from the streamlining that games often receive in second editions.

[@yogibbear]

The game is pretty straight forward. The only complexity is learning the iconography. People are stupid though. So ymmv.

[@DiegoDeschain]

@@yogibbear that's good to know, it makes me more eager to pursue the game then.

[@VexylObby]

I am so close to wanting to get the game. But the appearance is definitely stopping me. I know the game could have a better looking map and components.

[@VaultBoy13]

The rules complexity isn't that high, especially before you add expansions. It's more complexity due to the gameplay depth. The game has a large amount of variability and a lot of decision space. Imagine Pandemic except everyone is actually thinking out their turns simultaneously. It's also far less fiddly than something like Gloomhaven (even Jaws of the Lion). The game even provides on rails upgrade paths for the simpler spirits. As @yogibbear indicated, "People are stupid though." As far as the board, the simplicity makes it readable which makes it more accessible. But, if you want something more thematic, then just flip the boards over.

[@deedd4401]

!!!! EXTRA EXTRA !!!!! Straight out of press !!!!!!! - Camilla and Joey are YELLERS ! ( world shook in disbelief )

[@eliumeldritch]

Someone took Zee's top 100, put it on shuffle and named the playlist Camilla's Top 100

[@deedd4401]

Upvote for Skinny Fox 3000

[@minimoose7890]

Agree, Joey, lost so much respect for Chris after he pooped on the classic Dune film and tried to talk-up Zoo Vadus. ;-P

[@RepeatRepeatPro]

Wonder if The Others will end up being rereleased as it's currently oop. It's not in my top 10 but I do think it's an excellent,underrated game. Dice Tower do champion it at least but Cmon have abandoned it.

[@RepeatRepeatPro]

I know you can get the base game but its the rest of the expansions that people will struggle to get.

[@VaultBoy13]

It's a great game, but I don't think there's enough demand for a reprint. There was obviously more money in releasing something similar (but not quite as good) with Cthulhu: Death May Die. Cooperative just sells better than 1-vs-many. For the most part it's either picking up the game secondhand or hoping CMON make a spiritual successor.

[@gottimighty]

So instead of correcting the pips on the red die, you simply replace it with new props.................well played.

[@trooper6762]

Way to fool us with the last list by telling us destinies fell off your list. I believed it out right Milla.

[@JimmyWorld]

Camilla and Joey shaking their heads as Chris is explaining Zoo Vadis shows just how much they don't understand the game. The fact he thinks Diplomacy (a game built on backstabbing) is a nicer game shows that.

[@HALOX30]

Camilla is mean to the people in this video lol

[@JJ_TheGreat]

47:10 To me, I really have zero interest in Too Many Bones - because it has way, way, way, way, WAY too much dice rolling… I am just saying.

[@BreinGames]

Wait, so it’s not Milla anymore?

[@cosmixbandito]

Wait. Just to be clear, this is a top 10 games of all time list of 30 (well, 29) top 1 ? Not a funniest moments not-end of the year video. Right ? I'm confused.

[@VaultBoy13]

It's a list of their individual favorite games. Don't read too much into the click-bait video title.

[@darinherrick9224]

The worst thing about Ethnos is it’s so dang ugly. That and the cheap feeling components. But mainly this game is just so ugly.

[@BitewingGames]

It may not be a looker, but the game itself is just so dang good that it still earned (and deserved) a spot on this top 10. I love that game.

[@benco804]

I love how all your music is an unashamed knock off of hit songs. Really surprised this music hasn't been sued out of oblivion.

[@darinherrick9224]

If you don’t think Chris is obsessed with dry Euros his number one pick should convince you for all time. The driest most boring Euro of them all.

[@darinherrick9224]

I like Clank Legacy but my wife REALLY doesn’t like it. And I only play games with my wife usually. Way too long. Half the game is placing stickers.

[@VaultBoy13]

They leaned too heavily into the stickers and reading from the book. There's a bit of a, "Just get on with it," to the game.

[@darinherrick9224]

Man NOTHING interesting to me in the top ten. Unmatched. One of my most disliked games.

[@Alloniya]

Space base is cool 😎

[@Alloniya]

Dune Imperium is my favourite game. I play it every week when I can
