Every time Camilla names her next game, you can see Tom die a little on the inside. 🤣

[@andrewg5854]

Its how i felt every time Tom spoke of music.

[@17thknight]

Destinies was a great number 1, I thought she had the best #1

[@cwb95k]

I found that enjoyable to watch.

[@natecress4226]

This Top10 was like a game of Root. 3 different factions doing something completely different together in the same space. I loved it!

[@valreznic]

Bahahaha yes!

[@fiddlestix_and_poppycock]

Totally

[@alfredovillegas141]

Great analogy, I agree.

[@robmangham4930]

I feel like Camilla was making a top 10 games that deserve more love, Tom was making a top 10 game changers, and Chris was actually making a list of games that should be mentioned at least once in the BGG top 10. Loved the conversation as always!

[@joeferreti9442]

How does "Quacks of Quedlinburg" deserve even more love than it already gets?

[@robmangham4930]

@@joeferreti9442 Fair point. I feel like Quacks and Pandemic Season 1 may be the only exceptions.

[@sylvander4972]

yeah I dont think at all that she get the memo. Super wierd top 10

[@fredmcmack]

I sort of get Camilla’s argument to get more approachable games into the top 10, but it really felt like she made a list of best gateway games instead.

[@leadbones]

I felt like it was a list of the top ten games someone recently played with friends, and not a top ten of all time. All fine, recent games. But I don't understand the angle she approached the list from.

[@FelipeRodrigues-vj1zb]

Yeah, a bunch of 7/10 games. Draftosaurus is a 5/10 at best.

[@jasonc2784]

@@FelipeRodrigues-vj1zb but I can get Draftosaurus to the table with kids that is better than Uno.

[@LilBoyHexley]

@@jasonc2784 I mean. That's what a gateway game is. A modern boardgame that is approachable for people not into the hobby. Something decent and modern you can hopefully bring to Uno or Monopoly night without getting everyone annoyed at you.

[@DTChrisYi]

​@@FelipeRodrigues-vj1zb Different strokes. draftosaurus is nearly a 10 out of 10 for me. Small games can still be perfect games, I think it's one of those.

[@randalladkins7452]

Would love to see Zee, Roy, and Mike do this list as well! :)

[@mikesmith1181]

Me too! Especially if they did what Chris did and reference music (or other things like movies or something else).

[@GrayWolf323]

Roy would likely have Marvel Champions on his list 😛

[@Kojimalosophy]

people remember that the Dominion has come out both on Android and iOS including all the expansions so don't go wasting your money on the physical version

[@felipe28g]

This top 10 is such a good idea! I even think it has year-end potential. Would love to hear what Zee's, Mike's, and Roy's picks are for the top 10 as well.

[@foxbear60]

Only watched the intro so far, but I feel like this might be one of my most favorite TDT Top 10 lists ever!! I love how each person explained their thought process regarding how to approach the list, and I love the insight on how people view "highly rated games" in general. We'll see how well it comes through for me.

[@kevinwallace1374]

The only game that stands out that wasn’t mentioned is Concordia. Definitely deserves a top 10 spot.

[@hucz]

thanks for the spoiler

[@kevinwallace1374]

@@hucz lol they said in the video to comment with such things.

[@TheNathanlockhart]

It's a great game, but I don't know about top 10. It feels like one of the best games from 2000. Just too dry on theme. Any game in the top 10 has be be great in all areas, and to me that means a great game with great theme. It's not enough to just one and be in the top 10.

[@joshmartonosi5624]

But not The Castles of Burgundy or Orleans?

Nice episode guys, such a different and interesting list from all others on yt. Love the recomendstions,

[@alexvalentine856]

Chris as a music fan I gotta say the album references had me repeatedly pointing at my phone and agreeing aloud. I know those won't land with many viewers but I appreciated them big time 👍 creative way to lend more insight on your list

[@sindbad211]

same here! that was lovely and very creative!

[@martinlebduska8344]

Same here.

[@rumpleforeskin1275]

...and it was amusing that the other two were clueless

[@beakerkell]

I appreciated Chris' album analogies! They were really well thought out. Another great list everyone!

[@Patronux]

Exactly, I love Chris!

[@danteshydratshirt2360]

I think the trouble is that he equates a slightly obscure board game to The Beatles when in reality its like comparing it to a local band that only do local gigs

[@beakerkell]

@@danteshydratshirt2360 You'd say Ra is pretty obscure? I would say quite the opposite

[@danteshydratshirt2360]

@@beakerkell The Beatles were the most popular band on the planet boardgames are a niche hobby

[@beakerkell]

@@danteshydratshirt2360 It's an analogy though, so it's comparing Ra within Knizia's games to a Beatles album within their music. That's the whole point. I'm not saying it's a perfect analogy, but it's interesting.

[@kathryneastman4221]

I love these top 10s. They always intro me to something new, and with this one, awesome games I hadn't thought of. Great Lists all, and I agree, no room for snobs. We are all just here trying to have some good old fashion fun. Looking forward to the next list :)

[@dalerancourt5693]

Love Tom chucking his phone @ 25:06, I yearn to do this every day, Lol😄

[@sirlohengrin6226]

LOL nice catch

[@Krankitopia]

As a music nerd and board game nerd I really appreciated Chris'comparing games to music and albums. He was also very eclectic in his choices. One of my fav top 10s.

[@PaulRamen]

I got a mild depression from Tom saying Avengers is a top 10 film and not knowing what Rubber Soul was

[@dago6410]

To his defence he is American, so he can be ignorantly arrogant its their National Trait. I hope they change it in the next patch tho

[@ej3ae]

I like sorting bgg by number of ratings as that pulls out games with broader appeal (such as ticket to ride).

[@HEMAYATC]

This is a good trick! Thank you for the tip!

[@neojaw2192]

Very interesting episode, really good choices!

[@nitrorev]

I've played 100s of games of Root both on the app and TTS and in-person so I can safely say it's my comfort game. It has a really high barrier of entry so getting to that point of feeling very comfortable with all the mechanics and interactions of the asymmetrical factions takes some time to be sure. BUT, once you and your play group arrive at that point, I promise you there is not better game. When you understand the game (which at its core isn't even that complex) there's so much room for fascinating synergy, intricate combos and table talk beyond what you can find in most any other game. Getting to that point takes time and it's certainly not a game for everyone but for people who get sucked in by the asymmetry and theme, it's a game with near infinite possibilities.

[@scottsnelling5610]

I love the idea of Root. I played it once, and immediately decided I wouldn't play it again. As a "very serious" gamer, its just one that I felt that without understanding how all the races at the table played, I was just kinda playing blind, and it really bothered me. So I'd have two options. A, I could just not play it. Or B, I could play it enough to learn all the races (2-3 games per race), and then be enjoying it. Tack on the fact that its a fairly long playtime game, and the plethora of other games that I enjoy playing as much or more, and it just wasn't worth it to me. I think it's a pretty great game, but just doesn't work well for me.

[@mattanderson1088]

Expected For Sale to show up here - for what it is, I think it is nearly a perfectly designed game. Scales well, plays quick, can be explained in 3 minutes. There really aren't any flaws with the design.

[@nickhershberger8411]

Good picks by all. Nice work!

[@bigg3110]

This was a really excellent Top 10 category and a joy to watch. Thanks 🙂

[@ronrideout3969]

Chris, I (and everyone else watching this brilliance) think your music/game analogies are FANTASTIC! Always do your reviews and stuff just like you did this one! Bravo!

[@mgk2020]

You are incorrect, sir.

[@ianlim9437]

I can relate to most of Tom's choices. and some of Chris'. but for Camilla, I think we are not on the same page. and I would like to know Zee and Mike choices.

[@ralelunar]

I think that Camilla is just pulling from games that she's played, having not played as many as the other DT crew

[@deedd4401]

contentwise great as always .. but an extra like for the vibe in this vid :)

[@mohre5911]

25:07 Did Tom just throw his smartphone away? 😂😂😂

[@kettleonsonna]

Love this. Love the disagreement , discussion and passion. Always makes me reconsider game choices.

[@ralfn9629]

Love the show. Love the Idea of this list. Love you Tom for mentioning Go (GOBANG is different though). My favorite board game of all time by a light year. That's why my top 10 always has to start with ELEVEN. I'd consider Carcassonne and Everdell as well. And Star Realms. Thanks for the video

[@mikotagayuna8494]

BGG should have some sort of Hall of Fame where gateway games reign supreme. They may not be as refined as the newer ones but they are less daunting to newbies and bring more people to the hobby than any flashy, overproduced box of plastic bits. BGG rankings as well as Dice Tower top 100s, are often disproportionately represented by the cult of the new.

[@TeChNoWC7]

Just filter by plays, done

[@HEMAYATC]

The BGG ranking for Family games is probably the closest thing to what you are talking about. It’s still not perfect though. I suppose it should include games like Catan, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, 7 Wonders etc.

[@jimbrads1]

Fantastic. This might actually be my favorite video by Dice Tower.

[@dfancy2215]

One of my favorite top 10 videos. Really cool to see the differing opinions 👍

[@codainlaw]

I never, ever comment on Dice Tower videos (though I’ve watched almost every single one of them) but I must say… Chris your comparison of games to albums was amazing. I can totally see how you tied your picks to the albums. It was so thoughtful and on the money. I’d like to propose a series of videos where Chris just ties classic albums to games. I’d pay to watch that. Well done. Loved this list.

[@jos-feratu]

Exactly! Tool - Root was just the perfect analogy

[@dominicparker6124]

I will say, the music picks for games were bang on.

[@cwhooks]

Thank you, wonderful choices.

[@daveb1101]

Camilla killing me with that first comment: “Uh, the instructions you didn’t give me? Correct.” 😂😂😂

[@Manny-M]

Love her sass

[@donadavs]

Camilla did top 10 gateway games...

[@zyater]

Great idea for a video! I would love to see something similar for the "family" rankings on BGG. The family list on BGG also leans too heavy in my opinion.

[@TheAmazingYeti]

I feel that Camila made a different list than the other two.. It is a great personal list for welcoming games to the hobby. I am just not sure it aligned with the title of the video unfortunately.

[@doswillrule]

I understand the logic. Lots of people who are getting into boardgames will look at the top 10 expecting the games with the broadest appeal, when what they actually get is the most loved games by hardcore/experienced gamers. It's a different reading of the title, but I think it's valid.

[@ralelunar]

She's the new Sam 😆

[@ghyslainabel]

Castle Panic should be in the top 10. It was a big success with my 6 years old nephew, with a group of teenagers and a group of 30-something years old.

[@Natalie-zt7rv]

I was so excited to see Agricola getting some love! Then a bit sad immediately afterwards 😂 I think Agricola gets dismissed a lot because Caverna exists but its still such a good game in its own right. Its the game that brought me into the hobby so I will always love it!

[@petergross7235]

I prefer Fields of Arle over both those games. Haha. Each his own right. But we all love Uwe.

[@KevBotron1000]

I’m floored that Castles of Burgundy wasn’t in anyones list. Not even the peoples?! Whoa.

[@andjusticeforearl4742]

Being an avid fan of music, especially metal I can totally appreciate the comparisons of games and rock/metal. Chris should totally do regular content using this as the format 🤘

[@konignickerchen7265]

I want to see more of album comparisons with board games. You can tell Chris gave it some thought.

[@CardboardistYT]

Just wanted to say that I truly appreciated the thought that Chris put into his list. Comparing them to albums was absolutely perfect. Loved the analogy!

[@fiddlestix_and_poppycock]

I loved it too. So cool!

[@haydar8364]

I was skeptical of the interest of this top 10 list, based solely on the title, but wow was I proven wrong! Kudos to Camilla, Chris and Tom for the insightful lists and fun banter. I have to commend Camilla on the out-of-the-box thinking for her list. What I find interesting are not so much her specific choices (although totally agree about Quacks and Jamaica), but rather that Camilla approached the list as a way of filling in important blanks on the BGG 10. i.e. not each game needs to be a sprawling epic strategy game, so what would be a key party game, family-weight push your luck, drafting, racing, dexterity, etc? Totally turned the top 10 on its head and I was 100% on board for this. Especially since you had Tom and Chris covering the list from a more "traditional" stance. Well, actually - I think Tom went a touch too meta with his list by the time he got to the top 5. Nothing wrong there, but I think to simplify things I would have stuck with the "spirit" of the BGG target arena: modern designer board games. So games like Monopoly, Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer, Magic, Chess, Go, etc would all be out of consideration. Making a statement like that at the beginning would have acknowledged whatever subset of those you feel deserved mention, and would have made for perhaps a more focused list (as well as more designer board game choices, such as Dixit which you mentioned early on). Still a great list from Tom otherwise, and I thought Ticket to Ride at #1 was an inspired choice. Kemet! Ra! With these two choices alone I have to give Chris the nod for the list that's the most near and dear to my heart, but I also think his list was consistently good throughout; my favourite type of album is one where you can hit play at the beginning and do something else without skipping a track because they'd all be hits. A few albums come to mind but for Chris, you are Guns 'n' Roses' Appetite for Destruction. ;) I think the BGG top 10 is not bad as it currently stands, and I do agree with many of the Dice Tower's (and People's) choices. Other candidates I can think of would be Tigris & Euphrates and Kingdomino: Origins (OG is fine, but Origins is nearly identical and comes w/ built-in expansions for more play). Honorable mention goes to X-Wing Miniatures (v 1.0, as a casual gamer). Leaving it out because the game now seems to be in a shambles unfortunately. I wouldn't even know how to advise someone to get into it nowadays.

[@10hitscombo]

This top 10 list is different from website. Which one is more up to date?

[@FelipeRodrigues-vj1zb]

I highly disagree with Camilla that the top 10 on BGG should be welcoming games for beginners. That's like saying Transformers should be in the top 10 of IMDB instead of The Godfather. When I started on the hobby I found out that the best way to enter it is to ask for recommendations of light games and just play them, not to play the best ranked on BGG.

[@leadbones]

Honestly, she made a different list. If she thinks those are the ten greatest board games ever made... well, they just aren't. Not by any objective standard.

[@markusschmidt9260]

I think, Ticket to Ride has bigger flaws than Catan. People rave about TtR having fast turns, so you get always involved. But that's not true, SU&SD showcased it brilliantly: very often your only valid option is drawing two cards from the top of the deck, hoping for a wild, and getting frustrated by the useless cards you draw instead. And if there are no useful cards in display, it might be, that you do have to do this ten turns in a row, meaning you have 10 rounds of gameplay with no meaningful decision. It can get very frustrating and boring, and I didn't have lots of game, where it did not go this route for at least a couple of players. For me, it is so boring, it even surprised me, that the actual playtime is shorter, than I initially estimated, after at least a dozen of plays. I thought it to be a 75 to 90 minute game, while in fact, if you look on the watch, it's actually rather 45 minutes to an hour. Catan has kind of a catch up in, that if you are in an unfavourable position from the beginning, people likely do trades, you profit more from than themselves, as long as they at least get some profit from it. I like it much more, but neither of them can compete with Carcassonne or Azul for me.

[@ralfn9629]

Carcassonne should have been on the list!!!

[@draphsor]

Chris Yi laying down the music references-I am *there* for this! :)

[@eVanDiesel]

Nice Favorite Game Friday shout out! See ya there!

[@benzrecycler]

I was not looking forward to this list, but you guys did a great job. The ones I would include that none of you mentioned are Love Letter, Deception: Murder in Hong Kong , Castles of Burgundy, and Descent 2nd edition(is there another overlord game/D&D type experience that's actually available? If so insert that) . Dominion, Code Names, and Ticket to Ride are musts, and think I'm good with Viticulture as the worker placement. Through the Ages is a good pick for the top heavy Euro, and think Wingspan or Azul would be ideal on this list, really can't decide which is better choice, but will go with Wingspan.

[@leadbones]

I'd agree with Descent 2nd Ed., but man that's a tough game to find all the stuff for these days. And the expense... oh god the expense... I think the HeroQuest re-release with all the fixins', while lacking somewhat in depth, is just as fun in a similar but different way. And, more currenly attainable. I got rid of my copy of Descent 2E, because I felt chained to a long list of things to hunt down on e-bay, as I like to get all the stuff. It's a compulsion.

[@benzrecycler]

@@leadbones I hear ya, I just have a couple boxes, and want the rest so badly. The people I played Descent/Imperial Assault with over the years still talk about those times, and I can't really say that about any other game, so I feel like it belongs. But I never got Mansions of Madness - feel like I need too - just sooo expensive.

[@ludwigop470]

Next topic: "Music i would play while playing this or that game"

[@jaykenigsberg2162]

I enjoyed talk about games that may not be in the spotlight, but this gave them a moment. Interesting that all three had a different approach to the topic. Is a top 10 game one that has mass appeal, is it a classic, or something different? Interesting mix here. The music analogies were a lot of fun.

[@shawncrawley9101]

Chris Yi! I’m seriously interested in your top 10 albums. Board games and music are my two passions. My buddy (also an avid board gamer) made his top 100 albums and recently motivated me to do the same. I love hearing others lists, but most people don’t care enough to have one.

[@origenward3845]

I actually liked the Tool Lateralus analogy and now I really want to play Root.

[@erinholt5420]

Really love how Chris analyzes his picks. Really great!

[@bendfocuspro]

I love Chris' brain explosion that happened with Tom not knowing anything about The Wall.

[@MeanderingMikesManCave]

The soundtrack to The Bodyguard is indeed one of the best soundtracks of all time.

[@slchoi2868]

[@Leilataj85]

[@athanasiospetsas9367]

[@mello_yello_man]

Ra was one of the first Euro games I ever played and I have been dying to get my own copy for like a decade now. It's SO good.

[@avp2survivor]

Tom looks like a grumpy Troll expressing with a hoarse voice his disbelief about other's choices ;D

[@robertmcginley5510]

I love Chris's musical comparisons. As a music lover myself his comparisons are spot on and very well thought out. Kudos to you Chris!!! Well done sir, well done!

[@ktshipman21]

I would love to see a list where they replace each of the BGG top 10 with a game they like better that is in a similar category. For example, if I were doing it,Terraforming Mars is an engine builder, and I would say I like Fantastic Factories (another engine builder) better.

[@amywright8333]

I enjoyed the friendly banter between these three. Loved Camilla's unconventional choices, Chris' music correlations and Tom jokingly leaning into the "old man" role. Looking forward to more lists, love you guys!

[@PryvatCyan87]

I was teally surprised catan wasnt in any of the top 10s

[@reaper2r]

The music metaphors were so accurate and no one appreciating them was so painful! Chris you’re clearly very intuitive and intelligent🎉

[@cay6857]

The last time I went to BGG was to see if there was information on a Kickstarter game I was checking out. I’m new to this hobby and still learning. As I read the reviews, I realized a lot of people (who had never played the game) were rating it a “1” because they didn’t like a particular aspect of the components. This was followed by people (who had never played the game) rating it a “10” to, “balance the negative reviews”. New gamer, advanced gamer, light gamer, board game geek…it doesn’t matter when games are being reviewed that way. Why would you review a book if you haven’t even cracked the cover? There’s none of that mess at The Dice Tower. This was an informative video without any of the “games”. Thank you Camilla, Chris and Tom.

[@SurrealSam5808]

Camilla, someone finally showing Ecos some love! One of my favs. My friends and i all love playing (my gf will even play this one)

[@darinherrick9224]

Definitely waiting for a sci-fi version of Destinies, Sleeping Gods, etc. Pretty much every fantasy themed high rated game I'm just waiting for a sci-fi version.

[@-Markus-]

Thats relatable :D Everything should be sci-fi!

[@Polskimg]

Camilla's choices are off the wall. 😅

[@MattGoode1]

I haven't watched these top 10s in a bit but just wanna say that this one was really great. Really loved the discussion and the fact that everyone interpreted the prompt in very different ways hahaha.

[@IndianaGeologist]

Great video! Tom's face reactions were hilarious

[@outsidethegamebox6212]

Made a quick list before hearing your choices. Ticket to Ride, Scythe, Dominion, Splendor, Wingspan, Puerto Rico, Race for the Galaxy, Castles of Burgundy, Codenames. Lots of cross-over with Tom and people's choice!

[@jajaboy8]

Chris's music comparisons is so on point!

[@Silver.Puma.]

Never heard of Pink Floyd's "The Wall"? I didn't realize that was possible.

[@DeltaDemon1]

I think Tom might like Pink Floyd because it's usually a little more mello. Should give it a try (starting with the Wall)

[@dylannorthrup5439]

Camilla clearly was making an entirely different list… should have been tipped off by her initial statement that she had no idea what rank they were currently on BGG. Top 10 games that deserve to be ranked in the BGG top 10… games that are objectively the best of the best, in her opinion - and she’s making a “recommendations for new gamers” list apparently… then picking mostly obscure games that are far from the best of their kind. Don’t get me wrong, I think she picked some good games - I’d agree with Quacks of Quedlinburg, and I suspect if I played Destinies I would also agree (Chronicles of Crime is up there). I do like Obscurio, but I’m not sure if it’s quite top 10. To be fair, I haven’t played all the games, but of the others listed here, I definitely agree with Ticket to Ride, Pandemic, Azul, Root, Caverna, Viticulture, Wingspan, Codenames, the Crew, and probably even Magic the Gathering. I haven’t played Dominion, but we have been loving Thunderstone Quest, and that definitely deserves to be up there, so the classic deck-builder makes sense.

[@BailiwickVideos]

This. I really don’t understand what Camilla is thinking or what list she’s making. very confusing.

[@jordango8847]

I for one, LOVED Chris’ the music analogies!! It made me like him more as a reviewer!!

[@mikemudrow]

"Roy, who's that?" "That's Spiderman" 🤣🤣🤣

[@mikesmith1181]

I chuckled at that one also. I have super hero burnout and have avoided all things superhero (games/movies/etc) for a few years now.

[@PGCole]

Don't know if someone mentioned it, but Tool is "Thinking Man's Metal" so what is Root? I never played it but thanks to Chris I really want to play it. As soon as possible. And by the way, I think Catan should be somehow in the Top 10 because I know a lot of people that are in the hobby because of Catan, like me. And after more than 20 years I still play Catan, because that's where I come from.

[@georgetran2705]

Chris Yi, I absolutely love your voice. You really should consider being a radio presenter or read books on tape like James Marsters.

[@diggpen1249]

Tom just casually chucking his phone off the table at 25:00 caught me off guard.

[@raymyers700]

CHRIS! Talking about "Master of Puppets" makes me happy. The first 4 Metallica albums WERE so good and still ARE so good. I was so happy when I heard the title track on Stranger Things because so many young people NEED to hear these albums. Anyway...thank you for that! You're game picks were also great (I wanted to make a joke about them being garbage, but they were great!)

[@TheRatedOniChannel]

Just listening to him describing those albums and then making the comparison with the board games was so fun, I just needed to make a playlist in that order.

[@Chimeraiam]

Wait what's wrong with the dominion logo? They always rag on it but I've never understood their issue with it

[@bertrand391]

Definitely agree with Tom especially regarding MTG and GO.

[@anonimuses5210]

Nice job folks!!! Ticket to Ride 1# place. 100% agree.

[@manuelkooijman5757]

I never have that a person on the Top 10 have a clean sweep with me whereby I agree with every pick, but Tom did it. His list is completely on point. I cannot disagree with any of his picks. Well done, sir

Glad to see Ticket to Ride on here. It's very, very good as a gateway game and super approachable for anyone.

OMG, this is probably the first top 10 I'm watching for the second time just to hear again those music analogies from Chris! So awesome really! 😊🤟

Favorite moment: “My number eight is Caverna!” -Tom. Hahahaha! Also love that each member interprets the list differently. That’s the genius of this list, whether on purpose or not.

Agree with another commenter, Camila basically made a list of games she likes that she feels are good intros to new(ish) gamers for different mechanics. Not a Top 10 of All Time list. Totally subjective though, so I'm not trying to bash that. Just seems like she went in a completely different direction than Chris and Tom. Best picks in my worthless opinion (from their lists) - Ticket to Ride, Wingspan, MTG, Azul, Root, Pandemic/Legacy, Agricola, Quacks, Dominion, Codenames.

I appreciated Chris Yi’s album references. Going from Beatles to Metallica, right on.

It's okay Tom. I'm not a music buff either. I've heard of the bands at least, but I have no idea what albums Chris was talking about.

Camilla's Pandemic Legacy move was the boldest move in a Top Ten I've ever seen. And I've been watching for more than a decade. Definitely an expert gamer move: "the rules don't say that I can't do that".
