I think its extraordinary that at 4 people they are faster than the old videos with only three people (Tom/Zee/Sam). Its fast, everyone is prepared, its engaging. Some back for forth but never anything mean or uncomfortable. All around amazing work. Thank you Tom and crew! ❤️

[@markusbiewer2756]

I still miss Sam, though...

I've been watching your lists for a long time now. Wow you really have it dialed now. As someone that doesn't live in North America or Europe, I like the quick reference feature in the description. Speakers, speaking order, comments, and humor are spot on. Thanks.

[@BoiledEgg74]

The chemistry between these four is amazing. Awesome content.

[@Spudkitty513]

I gotta admit ... I miss the old countdown. It was always so fun to see the little guy escape from the pile of rubble, and the voice countdown was awesome. In the new version, watching all the little cubes move around and get to the countdown is kind of like waiting out ads to get over. Having said that, I can see there was a ton of work put into this new countdown, and the colored cubes are eye-catching. I'm sure I'm in a minority about this. :)

[@moltenbullet]

The most irritating thing about boardgaming these days is how everything is "catch it while you can", and maximising early funding cash flow. Like, could we just go back to mainstream production, damn it. Monopoly never goes out of print (maybe even excessively in print) - why not some of these great games? On top of all that, international supply is soooooo frustrating for some of these kickstarter stuff.

[@jankogo]

Yes, and god help you if you miss the Kickstarter. I bought Rising Sun after the fact and it cost me a gaziljon dollars.

[@atomiccritter6492]

Monopoly never goes out of print (maybe even excessively in print) - why not some of these great games? = im watching this near Christmas in 2021 and very few of these games are even on the radar - cult of the new basically. Modern gamers are more like collectors than players

[@crosscutgames]

I love these Top 10 lists. I watch almost all of the reviews from the Dice Tower (you do cover more games than anyone) and I'm getting to know each reviewer better and better. I still feel I'm really close to Zee, but now also thinking Mike has very similar tastes too. Thanks for all the work over the year and sharing your fun with us.

Glad to see Mezo hit at least one Top 10 list. It's a cool, different area control game that I'm surprised didn't really get any buzz when it released.

Suggestion for Audio Levels: Love the new numbers transitions for the countdown but their volume is almost double than the volume of the rest of the video. With headphones is more annoying than anything.

Great video! On all the top 10s from DT and other channels so far I am surprised by the lack of love of true euros this year, no Tekhenu, Bonfire, Alma Mater, Tuscany, Hallertau, Praga, Tawantinsuyu on a lot of these lists. I know some are just getting to the US now.

[@nielsjensen6897]

I like that Dwellings Of Eldervale has got so much love and I swiped past the kickstarter campaign quicker than I could blink :D

[@npckse8508]

Dwellings was sort of like Vindication, where it was largely missed in the first campaign. Much like Vindication, we will see another kickstarter and likely expansions

[@VaultBoy13]

@@npckse8508 Will it have expansions? It seems like a very complete game with a fair amount of variability without feeling bloated. My concern would be that adding more would dilute the overall product. Additionally, I hope they don't go the same direction as Vindication. Talk about a bloat of middling expansion content.

[@npckse8508]

@@VaultBoy13 i think possibly more factions, monsters and some new tiles. I am just guessing the game will get at least one reprint kickstarter and have to add something new

I predict that Tom's list will all be What Do You Meme? games Edit: I'm loving Zee's #1, his lists are usually refreshing.

[@Migmeister13]

Thank you for another great list! I really enjoy all your top "X" videos. I discovered Dwellings of Eldervale and Dune Imperium about a month ago. These are most likely going to be be my next 2 purchases, if I can get my hands on Dwellings, I'm looking for a deluxe copy. Sold-out in one afternoon in my local store... On game your probably haven't play because of how late it came out this year and it's limited production, is Red Cathedral. At first, it didn't attract me much, but now that I saw a 15 minutes presentation... I want to try it bad! Will definitely look at your surprises and next 10 video! Keep up the good work!!

[@Share2050]

I love your graphics.. I am an artist. Thank you for noticing the artwork on the games.

[@EfrainRiveraJunior]

Zee loved Friday, and Tom didn't like it. I bought Friday and LOVED it. So, I have to side with Zee on Grand Carnival.

[@TheZimdahl]

you guys all have great chemistry. Very enjoyable video, thank you.

[@TheBrokenMeeple]

Great fun list as always! I really didn't like 2020 as a whole though for games, granted had I been including reprints/reimplementations/standalone expansions, it would have been a better year overall. But most of my favourite games were basically those and I treated Isle of Cats as 2019 as I think we in the UK got it last year before you guys so even that couldn't count for my list. However, the UK has not had a lot of titles released yet such as Honey Buzz, Praga, Dune Imperium, Whistle Mountain etc and some of those I'm very keen to get played. Dwellings was really good but I wouldn't marry it! :P The combat and lack of card variety hurt it enough to postpone a wedding ceremony! :P 4000+ games came out but only a couple hundred are good! :P However not putting Lost Ruins of Arnak on this list is criminal!! This is why Retrospective Top 10 of the Year lists are so good to do! :P

[@MrJenssen]

I really feared you had forgotten The Crew, Tom! Glad you hadn't.

It'd be really nice to have b-roll of these games, so I could see how they play while you talk about them. Pictures don't give enough info.

[@dovonovich]

Great idea!

[@richardcarneski8789]

Mezo is absolutely amazing. The way it handles turn orders, and troop majority is so much fun. If Mezo had better cardboard components and the blue and green more distinct it would have been regarded higher I think. I will also say Mike might have gotten a dwarf confused with trolls!

Hey Mike, since you rated Dwellings of Eldervale your # 1 game of the year, have you played it solo and if so what do you think about it? I was holding back on the Kickstarter because the solo mode did not really convince me and the comments I read were rather mixed, so I'm really interested in your thoughts on this.

[@michaeldilisio557]

I’ll be doing a review for the solo game in the near future.

[@dudemistah94]

Wow Tom and Mike crossover on dune on this top ten and their top 100 on the same number!

[@BenRangel]

Been unable to get The Crew to the table, my group always picks other games. It's not easy to pitch "You play as astronauts playing number with limited communication". And i know people are not gonna be stoked right away as the first mission is an easy tutorial. I feel like the game would benefit from a theme that made the limited communication make sense. Like bekng shipwrecked on different islands and having to communicate via smoke signals.

[@dandurkin9735]

Forgotten Waters is excellent fun and an excellent production. 2020 has conspired against it.

After waiting for it since October 2019 I finally picked up a copy this March, three days into the first lockdown and its sat there unplayed ever since. 😪 I know that it can be played online but its such a tactile game I feel too much will be lost, so I can wait. Of course we also waiting to play Pandemic 0, King's Dilemma, Jaws of the Lion, Dune Imperial.... 😭

I had to laugh about how excited Roy got talking Dune Imperium, his energy convinced me to take a closer look at this game. I don't really need the upgrade pieces, but I wish the game board wouldn't look so bland, because a nice board is what usually draws me in the most when I'm looking at a new game. That's probably why it flew under my radar initially, but I've heard so many good things about it, now I have to check it out!

Great wrong content as always but I think the audio volume of the countdown is too high. With every countdown I have to lower the volume and then raise again after a while to be able to hear you. Annoying especially when I watch your videos at night when the rest of my family is sleeping. But it was entertaining as always 🥰

[@hotdoggington6962]

People watch these to see what new games to buy. If I can't buy it, it might as well be an unreleased alpha. That's great if it's fun, let us know when we can actually play it. They're literally unplayable to us and are functionally indistinguishable from a preview, even if the only mechanism still up in the air is how to get it into people's hands. It's just frustrating when the topic is ostensibly "best new games you should go play right now", you hype something up, and then I look into it and realize that there's no feasible way an average gamer like me can play it anytime soon. Previews should be a separate topic.

[@mikefoster6018]

Really, really enjoy In The Hall Of The Mountain King. Has that "just one more go!" factor. I think they key appeal is that, even though it isn't a fully 'heavy' game, you are always making decisions that feel very impactful. Unlike, say, games like Viticulture where you tend to coast along a bit more. My only grumble is that the random powers that each player gets at the start, if using the Champions edition, are very unequal - so much so, that the game includes a mechanism where you're meant to record which ones are chosen less so that you can slowly increase their value.

[@dearmrdw]

guys, please invest more attention in setting the sound, Roy shouting over everyone is very painful to listen to, as well as spikes in the level of sound in countdown - I understand that it's not intentional, but it's one of the most watched top-10s, I just have tried to watch it for the 3rd time - and it's painful to skip part of it because of the volume levels.

Isn't Nidavellir a 2021 release?

@@parisnicolaides1552 fair enough. ALthough unless it is available to everyone it's not really a 2020 release. This will be one of those releases counted more for 20121 when the rest of the world is getting it.

Number one game of 2020 has to be Eclipse 2nd Dawn for the Galaxy - if this is allowed?
