Top 100 Games of All Time - 90-81

[@appleseiter15]

The A-Team rules! Making them regulars is one of the best decisions the Dice Tower has ever made.

[@bryanyoung9966]

Agreed completely

[@demonhunter651]

I love how excited Camilla gets for each of her picks. The energy and vibe of the "A" Team is so much fun. Keep up the awesome work guys

[@bryanyoung9966]

Totally agree! It’s infectious!

[@johnathanrhoades7751]

Love the "Friends" intro 😄 love the a-team as always! Some great games on here.

[@mayralizarraga8082]

I agree with Roy and the Android: net runner , one of the best card games!

[@siejaiz]

I want to try the NISEI stuff, but haven't yet. The game isn't dead.

[@darinherrick9224]

THE best card game. Actually the best game ever made. I made a podcast about it.

[@michaelfoley7577]

@@siejaiz It's. So. Good.

[@kjerins]

I did not expect to see Android Infiltration on one of these. Great pick, Roy! That's a game that really doesn't get enough love.

[@bensgoogle]

Isle of Skye is one of my Top 10 favorite games! The tile-laying, price-setting, variable goals, it’s like everything comes together to fit my tastes.

[@bryanyoung9966]

I align so closely with Roy’s picks. Makes me always enjoy these because I learn about so many games I never heard of that I would like!

[@amchasteenable]

I enjoy Roy’s list the best so far. Who doesn’t like Android Netrunner and still doesn’t know how to play Splendor yet? Roy is definitely the normal one in these cases.

[@Brend0ver]

Roy is nailing the choices as far as I'm concerned. Android Netrunner is so good and pays great respect and homage to the genre defining literature like Neuromancer and others. We need to get Chris educated on Cyberpunk.

[@dmartel243]

And Android Infiltration!

[@JoeyjojoShabadoo7]

@@dmartel243 I really like Wendy’s choices thus far myself!

[@TeChNoWC7]

Roy has an unfair advantage, he’s been in the industry longer and has probably played more games than the rest combined (not to say the rest aren’t experienced gamers). And while I’d say I’m an omni gamer and like (and dislike) games across all their picks, I gravitate more towards heavy euros like the Yi’s

[@Kravian729]

Finally a call out for Cooper Island! Such a rewarding puzzle to bash your brain on and incredible to puzzle through so few actions.

[@JoeyjojoShabadoo7]

Roy! Glad you’re voice came back 👍

[@alexbiersner3350]

Finished the 100-91 video noy that long ago. Always stuck to the top ten videos, so watching the whole countdown is gonna be a whole new experiencefor me. It's also very nice to see some new faces and different tastes/takes on board games. Can't wait to watch the rest

[@AlexSwireClark]

Medieval Academy is SOOOOO underrated. Don't let the artwork fool you. It's fantastic! Well done @ChrisYi

[@CharlesHepburn2]

Had to pick up that Rush MD game after the ladies had a crossover with it. I normally don’t like real-time games but this looked so thematic with a subject I enjoy and had really cool components. A while ago I was weighing between Kitchen Rush and Rival Restaurants for a food/cooking theme. I’m glad I went for Rival Restaurants because now I’m getting Rush MD which seems like a better version of Kitchen Rush. Hope that was clear. Thanks for recommendation!

[@jacksonmillard7598]

Yeah Draftasarous! Just a fantastic little game!

[@robinmarks4771]

Man, I love that intro!

[@vzjrz]

Audio gets fixed at 5:20

[@AhJong0]

Really love the mix of people here - being closest to Chris in terms of flavour, it’s fun to watch his love of mechanical games being picked on by these two theme hungry maniacs 😆 Loving the top 100!

[@JoeyjojoShabadoo7]

Chris seems like a really good guy, and making me laugh, too. The Anchorman reference might’ve gone unnoticed by the group, but not by me 👍

[@DTChrisYi]

And the Simpsons reference in your KZbin Name will not go unnoticed by me either! Though I was calling out a Superchat we had live, so credit to the live-chat!

[@dancondonjones]

Roy is flat out wrong about Netrunner being easier to pick up than a eurogame. I played it weekly for twenty weeks, and by the end I still couldn’t get the game straight in my head. Any Euro I’ve played I’ve fully understood by halfway through my first play.

[@torrencegill5187]

Intros are amazing

[@patricksteele]

Tom puts together a great team, DT is always fun to watch

[@bensgoogle]

New York 1901! The hits keep on comin’ in this installment.

[@Stu_1977_SEmelb]

The way that Camilla described some of the mechanics of Escape: Zombie City made me think somewhat of Break the Safe.

[@bensgoogle]

Dang. First Isle of Skye, then Betrayal. Betrayal is still my #1 favorite game. Despite its imperfect nature, when it’s good, it’s GOOD. And there’s a lot of personal nostalgia for me too.

[@soogymoogi]

Now I want a hobby board game called "Don't Eat The Diaper". It probably wouldn't sell very well though

[@Ataraxy123]

I played Medieval Academy for the first time the same night I played Sushi Go for the first time. It baffles me Sushi Go was the drafting game between the two that became a hit and Medieval Academy has faded to relative obscurity. I personally liked Medieval Academy so much more.

[@joshuadewaal]

Camilla's 84 was not only missing the picture but the wrong game was listed at the end of the video.

[@nigelbrown1680]

Yep should have been Escape: Zombie City bgg_id 149809

[@orlan3bgamer]

Can some one write me down the lyrics of the intro? im not native english speaker and would be hard for me to get it fully. Thanks in advance !

[@thedicetower]

So you have to list out all your favorite games. A hundreds a lot you thought but there's no room to waste. Even if you ponder it so very long. Someone on the Internet will tellyou you're wrong. Top 100 games (From the A-Team) Top 100 games (Watch all 10 live streams) Top 100 games (And you'll enjoy them too)

[@orlan3bgamer]

Marvel Splendor is sooooooooooo much better than normal Splendor! Good choice Roy!

[@MadSlantedPowers]

Games I own or have played: Chris: Isle of Skye (played), 7 Wonders, Chocolate Factory, Five Tribes, New York 1901, Draftosaurus (played) Camilla: Betrayal At House On The Hill (played), Draftosaurus (played), Obscurio Wendy: None, but I've considered getting Newton Roy: Marvel Dice Masters (owned but not played), and I have regular Splendor, but not Marvel

[@Bleuchz]

"Spreadsheets are basically tracks" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@whisperjack]

lol @ Roy genuinely perplexed at "eagle powers"

[@OnyersixForLife]

It would be great if whoever is typing the top 10 lists at the end could keep everything aligned, and in the same size print. (Also Roy's list 81 appears to be Spendor Marvel, not Splendor.) That being said, I do enjoy the energy the A Team bring, and enjoy the fresh faces. Glad Roy got his voice back.

[@xStryphe93]

What's the game that Camilla mentioned replaced Betrayal at House on the Hill for her? Because I too feel its quite imbalanced and was looking for a substitute.

[@chloemyers]

I assume it'll be Mansions of Madness? But I'm guessing it'll show up later in her top 100 and she'll mention it then. If it's not MoM, I'd love to know as I love Betrayal!! 😁

[@xStryphe93]

@@chloemyers I haven't tried Mansions of Madness, but it looks very interesting! Thanks!

[@davegildersleeve4316]

👍👍We also enjoy Escape Zombie City. It's tense and frantic, but so much fun!!!

It is fun to watch with autogenerated captions: "It is a fun game where like you put little things in a bag and you're trying to like if you have sets of things you can like like uh be able to put those through pretty easily like the normal goods like apples and chicken and bread and cheese" :)

[@TheRASDEL83]

Today Chris broke my heard by putting Five Tribes, my favorite game of all time, at number 86 🤣 Great list... why have I never heard about Ruination though? It looks interesting...

[@DTChrisYi]

Heh heh, that is the funny thing about Top 100 lists. The 80s sound so low, but it beats out so many other games I love but couldn't include on the lists! I have to check out Ruination too.

[@TheRASDEL83]

@@DTChrisYi Yey Chris replied to me!!! 🤓 Totally understandable specially for you guys that play hundreds and hundreds of games 😎👍

[@christianchampagne8316]

Dice Tower did play it during one of the "Spectacular" I have absoluty no idea when it was...It was Tom Zee and I think one of the designer (so that would potentially mean pre-pandemic? that sound so far away)) and honestly it's the only time I did hear about that game before the review came out and it rwas a LONG time in between

[@bryanyoung9966]

I’ve never heard of it either and now want to buy it!

[@darinherrick9224]

Finally NEW YORK 1901 gets some love. FINALLY!!!

[@rpriske]

Jealous of Camilla's Vanilla Coke. We get them only erratically in Canada.

[@NoeAnton]

The means of mitigation in Hostage Negotiator are also luck based. Getting the more powerful cards requires either sacrificing your entire deck to get conversation points, or doing good rolls with the basic cards to get them. And even when you do, you use the powerful card, but you may fail it alltogether with a bad roll, rendering all your tactical effort to get the card completely useless and luck-based. Not only that, but also you need to deal with the luck of the draw in the terror deck which has a few cards that can destroy the game completely. Out of the 6 games I played, I won only once and it was purely because I had a luck roll in the final event, yeah there was some satisfaction in that but it was more frustrating than satisfactory most of the time. Also, one of the games lasted only like 3 or 4 minutes because of a combination of terrible rolls and nasty terror cards.

[@JamesWanders]

I feel Tapestry is less "Theme first" and more "Seam first".

[@CaptLoquaLacon]

Can we get some helium for Roy tomorrow so we can see the version of a video where his voice is ordered from Wish? If ever there was a site that justified an idiom "Be careful what you Wish for"

[@trooper6762]

Chris and me the only ones on the New York 1901 train! It's good!

[@azuravian]

Not at all, It's def in my top 100. Maybe top 50, depending on the day.

[@ChrisSmithSmooth]

I think it's a good game but I ended up selling it - It felt like a game ripe for expansion boards with different cities and they just never bothered, such a shame :/.

[@trooper6762]

@@ChrisSmithSmooth True, It would do well with a few different cities as expansion.

[@rustencel]

want to like betrayal at house on the hill, but i have no luck at the game. Played it about 12 times and have once had a fun ending. 2x betrayer came out first time around with bad role, and most times once betrayer came it is pretty much auto ended as the betrayer already had win condition or lose condition done or pretty much done. Once a certain person had to get on a certain tile and happened to already be on it for example.

[@jonathangillies6531]

Woot nice to see Marvel United on here! It’s the game I play the most with my kids

[@nshaw1299]

'let's jump back to an older classic... five tribes'. Games from over 10, 20 and 30 plus years ago: Say waaaaat?

[@DTChrisYi]

Heh heh, true. But Five Tribes is almost oushing 10 years now. There will be some of those 30+ year games too though. I will call them "ancient" just to be consistent with what I said.

Back again to tally up my games played, want to play, and games owned with the A-Team's lists. Roy made it onto the board with 3 this round; but the most matches was with Chris with 4 in this grouping. The only 2 Camilla and I matched with in this grouping I own (Betrayal & Draftosaurus). Overall Chris and I have 7 matches and Camilla is next with 6.

Wife and I LOVE spreadsheets. We create spreadsheets for everything. I think we need some games that are like spreadsheets.

[@peterpan444]

Teotihuacan kind-of has spreadsheets.

[@elizabethdoney6025]

Great Picks again, A-Team. My favorites were Draftosaurus, Sonora, Above and Below. Micro Macro: Crime City had so much wasted potential for me. I loved it and hated it. I wanted to play with my kids but also didn't appreciate the naked ladies pictures etc. I've sold my Crime City but am super excited to get Full House. It will be a much better fit for my 8 and under group. 😁

[@steffen3382]

Awesome intro! And yes, your subjective opinions are absolutely wrong!

[@FemmeSensei]

Love your guys' selections... For Roy, it's all super hero, all the time...got it. I will say, it'd be GREAT if you guys could stop watching the video camera or the chat feed or whatever it is you're reading though! Listen to each other! Interact! It's so awkward/distracting! But much love y'all!

[@bigd5773]

At the very least move the monitor or whatever to under the camera so then it might at least almost look like they’re looking INTO the camera instead of off stage. It feels like Roy is talking to Mike/Zee (or whoever) instead of the person he is responding too.

That's where the monitor is kept, it shows what's being played at that particular time but mostly I think they look to read the live chat. 😊
