This was a lot of fun to watch, especially when Tom tried to guess the games and was right every time. Shows how much they know each behind the scenes 🎲☝🏽😁

[@joeduffy3470]

I would have died if Tom had said, “We are now accepting applications to the Dice Tower.” 😉 Great tongue in cheek reaction vid! Knowing everyone’s personalities made it even funnier. 🙌🏼

[@Tarryk]

I caught the original live stream of Mike, Roy, & Zee doing this and was pretty amused but just couldn't wait to see Tom react to it. I missed THIS live stream but just now watched it all the way through and it was everything I hoped it would be. Tears in my eyes from laughing. This was solid gold. Thank you Tom, Mike, Roy, and Zee.

[@snowren24]

These two videos were so fun to watch. I could feel the love you guys have for each other

[@richk6181]

I would love to see these types of videos for each of the dice tower cast. Seeing both sides of the coin in terms of opinion on a game give way for livelier discussion.

[@jeremiahhammer2282]

Great video, and loved the intro, Tom. Hoping to see you do a review of Gatefall I see there behind you.

[@Bassishify]

Thanks so much for this! I’m having a pretty rough day and this really made me smile so I super appreciate this and all you do!

[@Shzl47]

YES! This is the video I've been waiting all week for... "Roy Healey" hahaha

[@KinnArchimedes]

Q: Has Dice Tower done a "top ten games we regretted selling/giving-away " ? Might be an idea of haven't done.

[@benkovacs2432]

This is hands down the best single piece of video Dice tower has ever produced. The top 10 from the guys was awesome, but reacting to an awesome top 10 just made it even more.... awesome. Would love to see this with all 4 of them in the position of being told that they are wrong!

[@kevinm2832]

"Now I don't play it due to respect to the cathedral itself" 43:09 Lol that dry humour moment just cracked me up.

[@middleclassboardgamer]

If anyone ever says “Brant, why do you like Dice Tower so much?” I might just put this video on. You 4 are fantastic for so many reasons and from the top of the video Tom’s reactions were fantastic. Best of which was saying Roy did the Healy method.

[@TonyHulk]

crazy I thought his reactions were lame

[@TylerAndToast]

Agree on the important things. Everything else doesn't matter. Love this! And you guys have so much fun and bring so much laughter!

[@justanerd1138]

Can we get Sam to do a reaction to Tom's reaction? Just for old times sake.

[@dynamitebucket]

This is such a hilarious video - love it. I watched the first one, but this reaction video is one of the best yet!

[@bradD2204]

Great video gents and awesome reactions Tom. I had a lot of fun watching this one!

[@druidgamer9735]

Tom, I picked up Masmorra primarily for the figures to use with Arcadia Quest. I wasn't really wow'd playing Masmorra as is but (since we've been stuck inside without my normal gaming group) I came up with a modification, more or less playing actual AQ with the dungeon tiles

[@nickhayes1626]

I don’t know what was funnier, the original list or Tom’s reaction to it. This was really entertaining. Thanks for this and more stuff like this would be welcome. A crossover with The Secret Cabal would be a blast.

[@Vagus32000]

This needs to be an annual series.

[@petergross7235]

I'm looking forward to the Freedom Five live play more than Christmas this year. 😁

[@waynesolo]

"I'm gonna sort all this money out and Mike will still be talking." 😄

[@nmorlino]

We need a video where the 4 of them get together and talk about this!

[@vooydzig]

"Sam plays on the flip side." I see what you did there;)

[@DreyfussFrost]

Oh my god I can't believe I never knew it was pronounced "jpheg." I need to correct everyone on the internet right away. Thanks Tom!

[@Jammonstrald]

The thing that annoys me with the argument, is that the gif creator is the one who started it. That argument did not exist, and one day they decided "I'm annoyed that no one uses the witty name I came up with" and did the biggest 'I need to correct everyone on the internet' ever. If you wanted people to call it jiff, then make the extension .jif; I can't make a product called a hat, and then get upset when no one pronounces it "hot".

[@Animal_board_gamer]

Looking at the box for dominant species definitely reels me in, components not so much. But it’s not just components that make a game, the theme definitely looks interesting. If I found it at the library I’d definitely try it out.

[@ironwolf56]

Coming back here to note that Zee calls out Tom for not liking Menara and today Tom called out Zee for liking Menara. These two have probably given that game more press than it's ever gotten LOL

[@greggersgreggers3990]

Those in glass towers #Jamaica! Fun stuff, guys!

[@thedorkydoodlesden]

Lol the amazing amount of shade in this video is delightful.

[@jenniferhaar7934]

This was super fun!!! hopefully more in the future!

[@npckse8508]

Roy taught me Wizwar and it was a seriously fun game. Although Roy has essentially 3d printed cool walls and terrain for the game.

[@bsoeder2162]

Love this! Keep them coming. Zee, Mr. Jack is cool! Go Zee!

[@sandrakicklighter2735]

Love the color of the shirt, and the very cool tie.

[@dromadrosis]

Terrific... Fantastic... Even if you looked a bit too serious, Tom. You have all different tastes... Hurra for that! Love you, guys... really :-)

[@McBehrer]

3:40 Finally someone gets it. Same reason Laser isn't pronounced "lah-seer," and Scuba isn't pronounced "Scub-aa"

[@ProfArmitage218]

I commented on the previous video that it felt like Roy may have only played the first edition of Sentinels, before they introduced damage scaling with the number of heroes. If the villains are dealing a flat amount of damage instead of it being based on the number of heroes, I can see it feeling best with a specific number of heroes.

[@chillingcapybara8528]

I didn't understand the jif part. What does jif mean? Can't find it anywhere, my english is not that great sry ;/

[@Animal_board_gamer]

On the underground does look complicated, this is a game I’d have to have the physical copy and be watching a video to probably understand it. If I see it the library I’ll check it out.

[@saveversus]

I can't imagine another react video unless they start doing an "X is wrong" series, but if you do I'd suggest lowering the volume of the original video so it isn't confusing when you talk over it. Aside from that, I liked the pauses and fast forwards to get to your points.

[@FranciscoPerez-cr4os]

I like the volume leveling, personally. I don’t think I’d be able to hear it enough otherwise. This makes me feel like I’m watching one complete video rather than just Tom’s video

[@saveversus]

If they do keep this format, then I'd prefer a lot more pausing so Tom, or whomever is doing the reaction, can get his or her point across with have to talk over the video. There were parts where Tom was objecting and I have no idea what anyone said. I'd also prefer a "scripted" reaction rather than a hot take; like Tom watches the video beforehand so he can prepare his rejections and argue his point rather than just saying, "No. Don't agree. That's wrong."

[@IdlestHands]

Have to agree its quite garbled in places, should have dropped the original audio by ~20%

[@luiscarlosqg]

@@saveversus yeah, scripted videos are always better.

[@bernardorippe7024]

This video is the most funny thing that I had ever see in Dice tower XD!

[@bootman199]

Tom’s statement saying “one component should make him like a game better“ I bet if it had gametrayz he would like it better due to him being a fanboy of them

[@ZakiJeppe]

We need a "Zee is wrong" list!

[@nothing3376]

Agreed!

[@alexmawonplays2240]

Yes!

[@Oogly]

Can't be done!

[@RandyJC250]

Plot twist: Zee is wrong video WITH Zee in it! Hot take reactions. Lol

[@fredrikjonasson5529]

Ironic how Tom is complaining that other people talk a lot... ;-)

[@LuisJorgeMendoza]

Was waiting for this video!! One of Dice Tower the videos I have had most fun watching. Glad Tom took it in stride. Melody is entering college already???? has it been that long since I started watching Dice Tower????

[@ironwolf56]

Melody's been in college a couple years, it's his 2nd daughter that's just starting it.

[@DoctorGarro]

He even took a shot at Rodney! Man, that was funny :P

[@boardgameknight2791]

Tom should count how many times Roy and Mike use the word "amazing" to describe a game in this video.

[@tiagomarques9822]

Totally agree with Tom about On The Underground. It’s very strategic not only where to place a piece but on choosing to continue one color or start another, and you can’t find the best route in a few moments, that’s your problem, not the game’s.

[@tiagomarques9822]

And I totally agree with Zee on Jamaica: the Crew. Tom is wrong!

[@yadayadayada]

I hit thumbs up as soon as I saw the video title. :)

[@lvanb6111]

Haha, great work dice tower dudes! Tom, love your reviews and that you're gutsy enough to rate below 6 sometimes (although I'd like to see a "8 for wargame fans, 4 for everybody else" type ratings).

[@JosephFlemming]

this top ten was funny enough to watch again

[@wolflarson71]

Is Blue Moon being confused with Blue Moon City? Knizia did both and are different games.

[@Twineandribbon]

Glad I waited to watch this :D Very entertaining

[@mattparkinson8471]

Tom was taking shots.. love it.

[@Jammonstrald]

Sentinels is: do what it says on the card; forget that a dozen+ counters and effects change what the card does; go back two or three turns to correct the oversight until you finally just give up and say good enough; repeat. It's fluxx's rule jockeying tedium, but without being tongue-in-cheek about it.

[@ClaeFace]

Spicy Tom is so entertaining

[@skeezaworkan]

Blue Moon Ciy? You mean Blue Moon. Blue Moon City was to one you like quite a lot, if I remember correctly?

[@gerrade71278]

I am happy Tom could take it well. It was fun.

[@redwlfjsc]

At the Gates of Loyang is in my Top 5, right above Agricola. The best Rosenberg farming game there is!

[@JosephFlemming]

I played On the Underground. On a good day with a good game maybe a 7 but it's more like a 5.5. I sold it at out of print inflation prices haha. Other train games are funner. this one I really tried to like but there's so little of a sense of direction it didn't jive with me.

[@Vicioussama]

I was thinking 6/10 or so for Arkham Horror LCG was really wrong, but if you base it just on the box set, I'd go "well, that's not entirely terrible rating, cause the core boxset does lack a bit." But, on the whole? Arkham Horror LCG is amazing.

[@bricelory9534]

This was a lot of fun, and I appreciate the dry humor of Tom playing the belligerent boss who doesn't want to deal with his underlings. The fact that some thought Tom was actually upset at points shows that it landed right, I think. Especially in the end when Tom basically laughs and says "nah, it's great we have different opinions, this was just some fun." It might have felt a bit more awkward if he roleplayed the upset was all the way through.

[@TheEpinema]

Now the guys need to react to Tom reacting to them.

[@joshforsman3980]

i love it.... "NO one would rather stare at wall then play any of these game..."

[@alexkaiser8478]

Did Zee do his number 1? I know it’s blue moon but I’m sure they missed it off

[@adamg4912]

Rahdo said in the chat that Tom is so very very wrong so very often.Rahdo thinks the two-player variant in 7 Wonders is better than 7 Wonders Duel. Rahdo thinks Mansions of Madness First Edition is better than the Second Edition. Come on man... lol

[@rogerellis4269]

An awesome pair of videos - do one for where Zee is wrong! Oh by the way City of Kings is great! - Tom - You are WRONG!

[@channel99productions21]

Wait, two adult kids?? How old is Tom? He doesn't look old enough to have two grown kids!

[@RetroMaticGamer]

I’ve been watching Tom’s reviews for 12 years now. Didn’t realize it had been that long, dude hasn’t aged a day. But his kids... dang, Melody grew up FAST. And now my daughters are, too...

[@rolandstokes9121]

I do think it’s gif with a hard g, Jiff is another format that doesn’t animate and as someone who’s been working with such formats probably longer than Roy’s been in long trousers (does he wear long trousers?) when Roy said Jif it jumped out at me. But I wasn’t going to make a fuss over it, except now with Tom’s reaction I am. But I still agree with the who cares sentiment. Kudos to Roy for making an animated gif, it’s definitely ‘G’if tho.

[@jeremyslayton]

Agreed with several other comments. This was very entertaining. 🤣

[@tomeofnotions1684]

I hope that "Zee is wrong about" list is coming real soon

[@Oblowsky]

That will be a very long video...

[@krazykorean42069]

Zee is never wrong

[@jankogo]

Tom is so funny in this video! "We should probably skip Mike again..." ROFL!

[@paulallison6418]

Im with you on Mr Jack Tom .... played this, no idea what the fuss is about?

[@Animal_board_gamer]

You know what I’m surprised I thought those guys don’t like dominion, but yet none of them were brave enough to put it into their top ten.

[@gamera2351]

Tom's reaction just confirms his wrongness. 😂

[@isaacdavis4108]

I thought it would be Tom looking sad for an hour

[@devilp84]

When is reaction to this reaction scheduled?

[@chefeddie6164]

Tom needs to do a top 10 games these 3 jokers don't appriciate.

[@thetiger51]

Isn't that what this is?

[@chefeddie6164]

@@thetiger51 No, Tom needs to do a top 10 that that they are all wrong about.

[@rawrhohlier7938]

Lmao, “ Mike, nobody cares when you played it”

[@blink625]

Tom is always right and when he is wrong, he's still right to be wrong =)

[@vanmurphy26]

Please DO NOT CHANGE THE TITLE CARDS, am I right? I''m definitely shouting!!!

[@conillet]

Don't change the number animation - it's perfect!

[@gijoe250]

lol the cash grab gun xd

[@LMKlees]

DC deck builder and Marvel legendary both buy attacks with attacks

[@davidlewis5312]

yeah, I didn't get that criticism... I assume its because unlike Legendary and Realms it has one currency (power) and not two. I personally prefer that simpistic and I didn't think Cryptozoic encouraged mixing. Its like Funkoverse where you can have the Golden girls beat up batman

[@steelman774]

Tom, I gotta say that I really like Mysterium overall and it looks Fantastic on the table ... but I have a friend who refuses to play it because he says that it’s dumb because the first 3/4 of the the game is irrelevantly building up to an endgame guess of the final choice. He points out that the theme doesn’t hold up since all but one clairvoyant interpretations are correct and therefore the others must be charlatans because of their permissions were of wrong people using wrong things in wrong places. You know... I still like this game, but he has a point. 🤷‍♂️

[@lukasvitroler2178]

LOVED this video Tom!

[@kitcarpo4745]

Hey Roy, I looked and cannot find Arkham Horror: LCG? I mean I have the "The Card Game" collection, but "Living" nor "L" is a part of this game. Bleah....

[@BoxOfFear]

I couldn’t find Zee or Roy on BGG, but I found Mike, and here are a few games I really disagree with him about: Blood Rage Ghost Stories Tzolk’in Arcadia Quest Inferno Photosynthesis

[@davidlewis5312]

one of the best burns here is 'Zee gets often accused of picking esoteric games that no one has ever heard of and he is even doing it in this one'. Also: he gave away a 10/10 game... weird...

[@Zephairein]

i think someones view of a game has a lot to do with how well they do in the first playthrough and weather they feel the victory conditions are fair.

[@FrankHerfjord]

best video in a while, hilarious!

[@CandiceLikes]

I actually think Tom was Right on MOST of these games. He SHOULD play AH-LCG a few more times though. That game is very good.

[@Animal_board_gamer]

I guess Roy’s never gone to a library recently. Sure most of us cant afford every new big game that comes out. I certainly can’t. But there’s no point in complaining about it. I enjoy what I can afford even if that means I miss most of the games that come out. However the library near me has a couple 100 tabletop games. And they get a few new ones every couple months. I’ve gotten terraforming mars, planet, photosynthesis, above and below, and whole lot more from the library. They even just added cryptid and reykholt to the library. I’ve played a lot of games from the library and that has helped me choose which games I wanted to buy. Terraforming mars is my second favorite game after Everdell and I also bought above and below. This way I don’t waste money on games I might not like. So there are alternative ways to play big expensive games. As for small games I do enjoy them too. I love nature fluxx and dale of merchants.

[@jendubay3782]

Man I wish my library did that!

[@stormshadow2k]

My wife and gaming partner passed away today at 39 years old. This made me smile.

Fun video, woul rather have the original video small, and Tom larger. I already watched the original, so would prefer the focus to be on Tom

[@petergross7235]

Tom you are a class act. Thank you for humoring all of us in the dice tower fan club by doing this video. You are the best!

[@fsugnome]

This was fun Tom!

[@gamegraves]

So this first top 10 was basically just an early birthday gift... Surprise :P

[@nanorider426]

I have NEVER heard it pronounced "jiff" before and I'm a veteran supporter and administrator for plus 25 years. Roy as to get his act together.

[@lastburning]

Epic card game is great! Dark draft is so fun! (Also NOT a deckbuilder!)

[@luiscarlosqg]

1:07:57 what about "real men play boardgames"? 😎
