Top 10 Mechanisms: Dice Games

[@steveoliverc]

Fantastic video! I saw some great dice games here that I had never seen before, and it was also fun to see some of my favorites get reviewed. Thanks!

Great !!! One of the best videos on board games. Very interesting and informative. I own 300 plus games but most of the games you shown were new to me. Thanks for the great video. (A board game enthusiast from India)

[@AdaminWales]

Awesome! Glad to see one of my older videos is still enjoyable! Hope you’ve taken a look at some of my newer stuff too. Thanks for the feedback.

@@AdaminWales I have got pikoko and i realised it is designed by you. Have not played yet but will play soon with my kids.

[@SamuelPeg]

Thank you for your videos Adam. (A viewer from Spain).

Excellent video, love the vlog series -- excellent breakdowns of mechanics in both this and card games. Thank you!

[@AdaminWales]

Glad you are enjoying it - it's a lot of work, but nice comments keep me going!

This is what I am looking for. Great work!

[@BruceMurphy]

It would be helpful to list the games you've shown during the video in the description to allow people to find out more about them without having to rewind to find the cover.

Another fantastic review, a lot of smaller games I wasn't familiar with but that seem quite cute.

[@GirlyGamer-BoardGameGran]

In Marrakech the dice has his wee slippers on it I think :) I'd not heard of HeckMeck before, it looks like a lovely little game.

[@jsfuentes20]

Thank you for your content.

[@melaniecogdill9125]

Thought I'd learn about Cube Quest from Tom Vassel (and he did love this game) but watched his review after I learned about it in this video. Looks like a fun game my kids will enjoy. Am thinking of getting a dexterity flicking game and I think this one fits the bill--plus Catacombs is OP.

[@AdaminWales]

Cube Quest is a very simple flicking game (and great fun). It's also worth looking at Ice Cool, which is great for kids too (and adults!). Flick-Em Up is great but has slightly greater complexity. Catacombs is the most complex of the bunch.

[@melaniecogdill9125]

Yes, I did know about Ice Cool & Flick-Em Up (too expensive I think for how often we'd play it) and was considering Ice Cool and also Pitch Car (too expensive) but this Cube Quest is super short and a filler that I think would work. Thanks!

11:36 Guess the term 'roll and write' hadn't quite made it back in 2016

[@AdaminWales]

That’s right! It’s weird to think how recently that term caught on! :) Likewise in my tile-laying video from a few years ago, when no-one was talking about “Polyomino” games (although the word polyomino obviously existed). In that video I call them “Tessellation” games!

[@cortlandwheeler9412]

Good video I recently learned about Cubeo which is a unique abstract strategy dice game

[@edwardjohnson4034]

Thank you for this.

[@rileymcphee9429]

Would Pass the Pigs fall into this category?

[@AdaminWales]

Depends how strict you are with the definition of dice I guess! I would say it has all the features of a dice game, except the dice themselves! 😂

[@aquarius5719]

Space Aces TNG The New Guide uses only one D6 to generate a complete retro scifi solo RPG game experience. I can see how to make this game, the designer had to do wide research about scifi adventures to make the game as full of variety as it is. A simple dice game, but I consider it one of the best I have ever seen.

[@flickingbollocks5542]

The original Roman numeral for 4 WAS IIII. Look a clock using Roman numbers.

[@Keindzjim]

what is the difference between Las Vegas and Las Vegas Boulevard?

[@AdaminWales]

Boulevard is the expansion to Las Vegas - it introduces several new ways to play - I love this expansion.

[@flickingbollocks5542]

Dice is the plural of die.

[@Keindzjim]

what company produced Formula1?

[@Keindzjim]

or can you share the bgg link?

[@AdaminWales]

Do you mean Formula D? It is Asmodee. The original edition was produced by a company ironically called "Eurogames" - ironic because this game could hardly be farther from what we tend to think of as a Eurogame.

[@flickingbollocks5542]

Yahtzee didn't invent that mechanism
