Top 10 Games of 2020 Vlog! | Things Get Dicey

[@KXC42069]

These categories seem arbitrary and unhelpful - maybe just list a top 10 played and give specific "award" to each?

[@killnerds]

cj can you pls ask her if she sells the macaroni fortress in her webstore i want to know how to acquire a macaroni fortress

[@trixbunnyman]

shh dont say annoying things

[@rtmca1]

This is comedy, not serious. You didn’t get the joke.

[@wrcallar]

How did the fact this is clearly a satire video go over your head?

[@mikeatwood3754]

ROFL I love that she pinned this comment

[@WatchItPlayed]

Can confirm: you have the Castles of Tuscany rules correct.

[@Liz290895]

I see you finally got back to studying your German, Rodney! 😉

[@Luke_L]

I'm surprised this wasn't a comment on how to pronounce "Coatl" :D

[@PaulaDeming]

@@Luke_L hehehehe

[@PaulaDeming]

Thank you, if anyone would know, it would be you of course.

[@WatchItPlayed]

@@Luke_L I'm just hoping everyone will forget about this... no chance of that though, is there?

[@martinljonsson]

This is top 1 of the top 10 best boardgames of 2020 lists. So much science went into this. More science, I believe, than ever before. Yet the dicey person manages to present the facts in a fun and acessible way. Science done right.

[@PaulaDeming]

SCIENCE!

[@NoPunIncluded]

I can assure you that since our third member, Bessie, joined our channel - many board games have indeed been eaten.

[@PaulaDeming]

I feel like Bessie and I might be kindred spirits.

[@alwayzaparty]

Your top ten list just made my top ten list of top ten lists.

[@boristuga]

It would seem you turned that Truffle Shuffle Into a legacy game.

[@timborocksloud]

oh my god...how have I just found your channel??? I've needed this in my life...and I didn't even know it!!

[@KH517]

I also just found this channel. The Honorary Mention was good for the algorithm after all!

[@tylerbrown9797]

"This is a definitive list based on unarguable data" Finally, someone who understands

[@DenisRyan]

"Am I okay?" No, and that's why we love you!

[@robertahearne423]

You're a total hoot. I'd forgotten that and clicked on this video expecting serious content. (Which is the best possible set up, really.) Thanks for this.

[@erikohman2294]

Love the category of "boardgames I wish I could eat". Every time my group played "citadels" we allways remarked that the coins looked like candy.

[@herveschlaflang301]

For us, the black gem in Splendor is called Chocolate...

[@PaulDean]

Oh my God, this is so good and so utterly on point.

[@PaulaDeming]

a high compliment from a board game review expert ;)

[@RageDG391]

Can't believe I went down the rabbit hole of watching all these sketches that make zero sense... and I love it!

[@OurFamilyPlaysGames]

Love this and we love you! Enjoyed it! :)

[@PaulaDeming]

awww yay! Thank you!

[@KatAlysha]

One of my literal favorite humans on this planet 😂❤

[@einosig]

She is pretty great!

[@PaulaDeming]

[@ChronoMager]

Do the qualifiers imply you know any Time Lords ;)? (If yes, I need to know!)

[@jonathanross149]

Have you two met...in person.

[@cofl71]

@@jonathanross149 They sure have. There was a time, long ago, when we used visit other people in the Outside... Long ago... *drifts off, lost in remembering...*

[@lemiless]

Absolutely, without a doubt the greatest top ten of 2020, that I have seen! Paula is brilliant, and I love watching her videos!

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Absolutely stellar start to the new season!! 10/10 can confirm playing Santa Monica saves you from ever needing to go to Santa Monica

[@PaulaDeming]

good riddance to the 405!

[@DwaineWoolley]

Finally! She’s back

[@PaulaDeming]

I'm back, baby!

[@patriciogarcia6804]

YOu actually had me laughing out loud with the Honey buzz one "Wait a minute I think I know why I lost so bad" had me in hysterics lol.

[@VTboardgamer]

Absolutely hilarious as always Paula, great job!

[@HollowpointNinja]

I couldn't quite put my finger on how Calico made me feel, but you have captured it so perfectly.

[@revbrentcolby]

This video makes my top ten of top ten lists of 2020. Well done.

[@IgroLigvo]

And this is the energy we need to spread the love for board games with! Bravo!

[@seanmorgan2257]

Best top ten I have ever seen, thank you Paula especially for being you

[@MrJmarzetti]

Loved your video. It actually brightened my day, thanks!

[@PaulaDeming]

well this comment brightened MY day! So the circle is complete!

[@StuffByBez]

I loved the cat shots and how you kept it playfully cheeky but also kinda sincerely loving.

[@PaulaDeming]

Thank you! I genuinely like every game on the list, so it was easy to poke fun but in a way that I hope expressed affection as well.

[@StuffByBez]

@@PaulaDeming I think that the love came across for sure. :-)

[@rf-j5121]

Self-parody. This is what we call "genius". Well done, Paula. I also liked the commitment you make to your craft. Looks like you were working really hard to keep those truffles down.

[@PaulaDeming]

it's tough work, but somebody's gotta eat the chocolate

[@danielkeim8558]

This just made me smile throughout. Well done and super creative!

[@JasonSmithPsychedelicTherapist]

Thank you. This made me cry tears 😿 twice I was laughing so hard. That is some clever material very well delivered. Thanks!

[@PaulaDeming]

It's always a good day when I can make someone cry. I mean. Um.

[@eepinpang4407]

The Matthew glasses and Tom hat! Love this episode! Thank you so much!

[@waldemarcordero5932]

Amazing, totally agree with your list and I. love the funny way you show us it.

[@jamescartwright1150]

Really enjoy your videos, always make me laugh. Recently started slowly working my way through all the DxM podcasts after Mathew mentioned them on a live stream with Rodney.

[@PaulaDeming]

oh nice! I hope you enjoy the podcast! Thank you for checking it out!

[@jamescartwright1150]

@@PaulaDeming Enjoying them all so far ☺️

[@FaceInAClock]

A lot of people read the Castles of Tuscany rule book from left to right. However, you have to read it from right to left as stated by one of the hidden riddles in the small text in the credits of the rule book. If you read it correctly you discover that you actually play as the lions in the castle playing their own version of The Bachelor.

[@PaulaDeming]

ohh wow yeah I totally missed this! Thanks for the tip!

[@macdrizzle131]

Just have to say... Paula Deming for president of the known galaxy! I'm making buttons of this, the design will be mind numbing! Stay Awesome Paula mam!

[@SeaRaptor]

Outstanding as always! Welcome to 2021, glad to see you back at it.

[@brentontvallade8657]

Best 2020 board game list anywhere!

[@seatravelers]

Super impressed you brought out "Shores of Tripoli" in you top game that teaches you something! I would have nominated "One Small Step" in that category but I am admittedly biased. I enjoy your videos! Keep up the good work!!

[@Luke_L]

2021 is already better thanks to the new season of Things Get Dicey! Thank you, Paula! :)

[@sohailsadaqat6684]

Ok this was most hilarious top 10 board game video I have ever seen

[@bjornce6]

Die Regeln für Castles of Tuscany hast du auf jeden Fall sehr gut und richtig erklärt! Glückwunsch!

[@PaulaDeming]

Danke!

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Loved the video, and loved the categories! 🥳 Keep it up!

[@gomerspile5091]

Your videos are always a lot of fun! Thanks!

[@FitzyD5]

First time I’ve seen things get dicey and I’ve subscribed. Such a fun and creative top 10.

[@joshwood1274]

40 minutes to 3 hours sounds about how far I am too. Thank you for the shout out, I'm glad I was able to give you an escape during these times.

[@PaulaDeming]

oh hey thank you for watching! And thank you for designing a game I genuinely like, it really is a lot of fun!

[@JEV03]

This was so funny! Best top 10 I’ve seen yet. I’m still waiting for the day I eat a Wingspan egg by mistake... Now I want to rank my games into paulagories too.

[@PaulaDeming]

Rank 'em! Also, I feel you on the Wingspan eggs. They look just like those candy-shell-outside, chocolate-inside Easter candies.

[@henriwhitehead]

Great Video! Very funny as always. Great start to your newest season!

[@Moodman002]

Great List! Games that inspired me were Cthulhu Wars when dealing with the Washing Machine repair person and Mansions of Madness when going to the bank.

[@PaulaDeming]

Isn't it great when games inspire us??

[@theedj007]

I laughed so hard all through the Coatl bit. Thank you so much for that. 😂

[@sassqueen24]

You seriously never let me down... another amazing video!

[@PaulaDeming]

[@benjaminchernik7330]

i don't know if it was intentional or not but my favourite moment in this video is during the truffle shuffle bit when the edits kept making chocolate disappear and reappear in the box

[@MegaJc1981]

Cool list. The best 2020 list so far 😁

[@vzuzukin]

Honorable Mention is a category! With its own Top Game of 2020. Good to see you produce more solo channel content and enjoy the creative freedom ;)

[@revrobbo6070]

You know this already, but you are really good at what you do. Your videos are really well done.

[@genghisbunny]

Great stuff, always entertaining!

[@adamholt5395]

I've missed your videos Paula! Welcome back. An Honorable Mention really IS a way to get 11 items on a top 10 list. Also, no one knows how the algorithm works. Its all devil magic anyways.

[@benjaminchernik7330]

i think i could actually hear matthew screaming as you described castles of tuscany : )

[@AaronAndSusie]

A list as unique and funny as its creator!

[@kovray]

Ah such a great list! We definitely make the same faces and reactions in Calico, which made our list too. We've been really enjoying Truffle Shuffle lately and it certainly makes us hungry. Thanks for being you, we always look forward to your videos.

[@PaulaDeming]

thank you! Reading this made me smile! And yeah, Truffle Shuffle is a really fun little set collection game

[@TimChuon]

I’ve never watched one of your videos and NOT laughed 😂😂 when the notification goes, I KNOW it’s gonna be a good one!

[@bumblingthroughdungeons]

"I played 30 of them...so you can see I've been pretty thorough." lol, nobody lobs satirical bombs at board gamers like Paula. Cheers to a great 2021!

[@figothikos1]

That was so funny and enjoyable, keep up the good work!

[@hornist34]

The new season of Things Get Dicey. There was much rejoicing.

Great cat content also THANK YOU FOR THE TELLER ONES LOVE. the game is the perfect Bar/brewery game and therefore, the perfect hipster game for us people.

[@PaulaDeming]

finally, some cat love in the comments! ;)

That outfit is giving off some serious Joker vibes! Loved the 20 second review of calico

[@MTKYebra]

First video I see from you, I love you :D

[@gagnonjoel2]

Hey great Top! That's the first time I watch one of your videos. The algorithm worked! I like this kind of top 10! Btw, is the phone behind you an actual game?

[@PaulaDeming]

I did it! I figured out the algorithm! And no, the phone is just a phone (though it's mostly just a prop)

[@gagnonjoel2]

@@PaulaDeming congrats! And we should do a game with and old phone. I miss old phones. :)

[@Outrun37]

New category idea for next year: Game that you're worried might kill you in your sleep. I vote for Cthulu Death May Die.

Love it, as always, you're so awesome Paula xx Stella

[@PaulaDeming]

aw thank you Stella!!

How did Cubitos get on your shelf?? Very jealous, waiting patiently....

[@PaulaDeming]

AEG very kindly sent it to me and I'm very happy because John D. Clair is one of my favorite designers (and I got to try this one out while it was in its very late design stages as well)

Is truffle shuffle still on pre-order or is it out but not in-stock? Thanks!

[@christopherhealey8807]

Haha, love your video 👍. And yes, you perfectly understood the rules for Castle of Tuscany.

[@PaulaDeming]

phew! good to know!

[@chestersleezer8821]

Hmm, the biggest game of the year seems to bit more in the standard size. Oh and that Truffle Shuffle box is amazing since it keeps on refilling itself with more Chocolate.

[@daem0nfaust]

Ha! And I am likewise not yet over with how Rodney pronounces "Coatl". It's the highlight of my 2020.
