That made me smile! Eldritch is long and can be punishing. It's a game that can really make you work and is constantly asking players how bad they want the win so to speak. I think tom likes the games that will most likely produce a great experience even if your just out for a lark. I love Eldritch too but I've been holding off on the expansions as forget about making lists, they don't even get reviewed, and it *is* possible that they could actually make the game harder. I also don't think he enjoys games with timers very much.

I love Cosmic encounter, a new expansion Cosmic Eons is coming out soon although i can see no pre-order options for it in Europe yet. I think some bloke in South America built a giant sized version of this game I remember seeing on a Dice Tower video. I took a risk the Game of Thrones Iron Throne game pre-ordering it which is meant to be a little like CE.

I never really got the hype for Summoner Wars. It's not BAD by any means, but I just never felt like getting it to the table. Unimpressive table presence, mediocre components and art (subjective as that is), all around a system that, while serviceable, never seemed to do anything special for me. Love the price-point but just never won me over. Completely replaced by Dungeon Command in my collection. Only 5 armies ever came out for it but it looks and feels so much more premium and the game the bling is grafted on to is a lot more fun to me. Less luck, more strategic, deeper. But I know Summoner Wars sells well and Dungeon Command crashed and burned so obviously I'm in the minority in that opinion.

@thedicetower I have Cosmic Encounter + Incursion. I like the game, but many games just end after 2,5 rounds, when someone just gets all his attacks right at once with some luck. Those games I do not like (even if im the one in that scenario). I also feel that it is never usefull to attack a colony on your own home-system when you draw your own color from the destiny deck and no one in my group has ever (in 2 years!) once chosen to take a second tech instead of a second turn. My point is, a lot of the options you have seem useless making the game actually a little bit too straightforward for me and some of my friends. Do you have any tips (maybe some houserules or an expansion which really helps these problems) for playing Cosmic Encounter?

Tom loves Cosmic Encounter, and it's the number one by a huge margin, then why does he hate Munchkin so much? CE is basically just Munchkin in space. Both are random in a sense who has which cards, both end up all players having 4 colonies / last level, both evolve around ganging up against the leader, both last too long for the simplicity of the game, and it the end the winning player / players just won because no one else had a card to prevent it.

Descent: It's probably a crime that I haven't played Descent. Fantasy games are my favorite board games to play. In fact, like some people, board games have replaced RPG's as life has gotten busier and fuller. You can have just as much fun in a great board game in a few hours compared to an RPG that will last all weekend! I considered getting Descent at the same time I considered getting Dungeons and Dragons Adventure System Board Games. But I decided to go with the D&D board games instead. They are cheaper, they take a shorter time to play, and they do not require a DM. I have gotten tired of being the DM and want to play more often. I was glad to see Tom does like the D&D games too. Although he considers them more of a co-op, which they are. And it is more like a tactical miniatures game. Anyways, maybe someday I will get to play Descent, I just don't want to own it or run it. TIME Stories: This game sounds amazing! Sadly due to personal reasons, they people who I used to game with and would enjoy this kind of game with, are no longer available to game with. And don't think my meetup group would enjoy this as much. But maybe I will play this some day. Arcadia Quest: Another dungeon crawl game that I really wanna play. Just hasn't happened. But I did watch a live play through, and it cooled me down, wasn't impressed with the live play through, and while it has cooled me somewhat, I know playing a game and watching it can be completely different experiences, so I still want to try this one out. Caverna: It's an ok game, probably around 160 on my list of favorite games. I would never request it. And will avoid it often. But I may play it again some time. Dice Masters: The idea sounds promising. But I tried Quarriorz and disliked that very much. I really like Super Heroes, but almost every SuperHero game I look at does not interest me. The one I like is called Heroes Incorporated. I will try Dice Masters some day, but I don't have much hope. Cosmic Encounter: Having started watching the Dice Tower in 2013 of coarse I heard of Cosmic Encounter, and perhaps, it may have been mentioned around me in years prior, but without notice or understood by me. So even after hearing Tom mention it in a few videos in 2013, it did not interest me. But then about 2 years ago now, I was at a game store meetup and someone asked if I would be interested in playing it. I am almost always willing to play anything once so I joined in. I loved it! A little over a year ago I found the base game real cheap and bought it. I have since bought about 3 expansions when I found them on sale, but haven't gotten it to the table yet. There is some interest at my meetup, so I hope to play it soon.
@jimmylavoie-desbiens79438 жыл бұрын
You could just buy the base game and you would have a great time. It is one of my favourite game of all time, and it is not a hard game to "run". You just have to play through the quests. it takes betwedn 1 to 3 hours (at most) to complete a quest. Don't miss this one out!

Surprised Scythe is not anywhere on the list. Guess I should go see if it made his top 200. He seemed to really like it, but I guess with his love of Cry Havoc and Blood Rage, that style of game may be well represented. I like the engine building emphasis with Scythe over battle, I also really like Blood Rage but some card combos are crazy overpowered and in games with new players, experienced players can get them pretty easily. Every blood rage game I have played has been a crazy runaway leader scenario due to that. I like introducing people to new games too much to ever have a group that is really good at any given game, if they have all played blood rage I will pull out another game, heh, so my own fault, I know.

I really don't understand the claim that Dicemasters has theme. I have watched many games of it (in an attempt to get what people see in it) and during the game no one ever talks about the heroes or what the actions mean or would look like. They barely talk at all, a casual observer would have no idea that a superhero battle was happening.

Haven't played Cosmic Encounter, have only watched The Dice Tower play it, and it looked very simple and not that fun to me.

It is not fun, it highly depends on the group, and the Aliens you are going to draw. Because there are 3 types of monsters, easy, normal, and hard to play. And if you can pull out the hard one and you are good with it. Then you have higher chances to win, than the easy ones. Also 1 bad player can ruin the game for you very easily with his stupid decisions. There are a ton of IFs , but if everything is in place, then it is very good, which is rare.

Just deal out 3 easy aliens to each player to choose one. Tom recommends that way, and I agree.

This is my cross-over with Tom's Top 200 (1-200) with my top 110: 1 - Cosmic Encounter: 10 16 - Beyond Balderdash: 20 28 - Sheriff of Nottingham: 19 39 - Carson City: 36 41 - Spyfall: 106 52 - Empires: Age of Discovery: 101 54 - King of Tokyo/New York: 79 Tokyo 80 NY 56 - Ultimate Werewolf: 27 57 - Power Grid: 40 59 - Ca$h 'N Guns: 54 64 - Puerto Rico: 78 72 - Alien Frontiers: 6 73 - Automania: 47 75 - Memoir ’44: 91 76 - Exodus: Proxima Centauri: 22 78 - Xia: 17 83 - Stockpile: 102 85 - Robo Rally: 9 93 - Pillars of the Earth: 50 -------------- Tom's 101-200 113 - Dead of Winter: 23 119 - Dungeons and Dragons Adventure System Board Games: 26 123 - Castles of Mad King Ludwig: 62 126 - Mission: Red Planet: 15 136 - 7 Wonders: 104 140 - Incan Relic: 99 144 - Cutthroat Caverns: 28 149 - Tales of Arabian Nights: 86 155 - Good Cop Bad Cop: 85 171 - Telestrations: 21 173 - Lord of Vegas: 30 179 - Say Anything: 43 180 - No Thanks!: 103 185 - For Sale: 105 I only keep about 110 games on my list. But there are probably around 5-10 games Tom listed in his 1-200 that are between my my 111-200 I don't have a specific rank for.

As you can see I have a lot of similar tastes as Tom, thus why I enjoy the Dice Tower so much. But in some ways I lean towards Sam's choices, as I enjoy strong theme. I don't like Deck Builders and not a fan of war games, but I do like Memoir 44 a bit. I love these lists Tom. Thanks!

Any list without Blood Rage in it is automatically discredited.

"List of games you play in less than 5 minutes"; "List of favourite sandwiches"; "List of people you would like to play cymbals with". Also, watch the other positions in his top-10 list. ;) For a guy who plays THAT MUCH games, it is pretty high.
