Top 100 Games of all Time! (100-91)

[@IndianaGeologist]

This trio of reviewers and them getting together is the reason I back the DT Kickstarter.

[@JonReid01]

15 hours of annual excellent content to be sure!

[@whytemeet]

I love the guests announcing the numbers. What a fun idea!

[@bear6830]

I also love to see that a bunch of board game creators are coming together and being a part of one top 100

[@DimeNDice4]

Agreed! Honestly, it is a great way to bring awareness of other YT channels and contributors in the gaming community. Share in glory!

[@JonReid01]

I want to know whose idea it was! Give that person a raise!

[@CamObscura88]

@@JonReid01without knowing anything, I would guess Camilla!

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

I am CRYING at Mike's 100!! The world is healed, Mike, truly HEALED!!!

[@michaeldilisio557]

I could feel the strain in the Trick Taking family. It’s time for healing.

[@branboom3342]

Lmao, Zee taking his shoe off at the end of 93 😂. I love this inside joke since last year's top 100.

[@MS32816]

Just One has been a hit with everyone we’ve played it with - the cooperative piece to it makes it so approachable

[@gs24-xor]

Great way to start the top 100!! An oldschool intro by Board Game Co's Alex

[@draheim90]

1:08:52 oh Tom thinking 1992 was only 22 years ago...don't we all wish.

[@ruffiansgaming17]

lol Tom, 1992??? 22 years ago??

[@MerrillWhiteKalEl]

Loved having others introduce the numbers 😊

[@16Ezalb]

I work for Skechers, I'd be happy if they sponsored The Dice Tower.

[@guillermoz4914]

Excited for the Top 100! Love the guest announcing the numbers 🙌🏽

[@blaze0015]

I almost spit out my drink when Mike announced The Crew.

[@adamfiliatreault3393]

I picked up Roll Player this past year and I absolutely love the simplicity of it! It is my favourite dice drafting game, hands down

[@RagingOwlbear]

RA is sooooo good. It was one of the earliest games I bought when getting into this hobby and it STILL gets played consistently at game nights. It deserves higher than 99.

[@Toltendo]

Surprisingly it's Mike's #1 game thanks to the deluxe reprint!

[@landlboardgames]

Just got Nemos War last year and I really enjoy it. The theme and environment are so entertaining, you forget how miserable it is to roll low.....10 times in a row.. But so much fun to get into. A bit lengthy but a good time

[@tonkabeanicecream5698]

Yeah these 3 together are the best reviewers I have ever watched and some of the best entertainment I have watched.

[@JonReid01]

9:06 thanks for finally explaining the backstory to "The Crew is a flash in the pan" stuff, Mike. And well done putting it at 100 😂😂😂😂

[@originalnightninja]

Mike's List in 3 words: Knizia, Garphill, Japan.

[@rudykraft5526]

HAdrian’s wall is now available on board game Arena. The implementation is great. It makes it very difficult to make mistakes which is a big plus.

[@Mark-jagger]

I love Nemo’s War. Brilliant game. Own both the regular 2nd edition and the Ultimate Edition. Great choice Zee.

[@modemacabre]

I'm here for three reason: 3. See Ben Maddox at 91 2. See if Ark Nova is still Tom's number one. 1. See where Revive (my favourite game of all time) stands Little did I know there were be so much discussion of the sartorial merits of Sketchers. I'm sticking to my Johnston & Murphys. And for what it's worth regarding closures: 1. Laces 2. Buckles 3. Slip ons ... 17 Velcro

[@Mark-jagger]

Tales from the Red Dragon Inn was a huge surprise for me. Fantastic game. So much fun.

[@jameskirk4692]

Thank you to all three of you for this entertaining video.

[@Dalmatinac3]

Snow Tails should be replaced with Star Wars pod racers. That would be so thematic and make sense.

[@chestersleezer8821]

From a long time individual who wears skechers shoes you cannot go wrong with them. I have 5-6 pairs of skechers shoes and wear them all the time.

[@LegallyGaming]

My 100-91! 91 Cubitos 92 Vye: The Card Game of Capture and Control 93 Arctic Scavengers: Base Game+HQ+Recon 94 Coloma 95 Dice Forge 96 Air, Land, and Sea: Critters at War 97 Ramen Fury 98 The Networks 99 Mysterium 100 CATAN

[@jdkenada]

Western Legends and Just One are the two games from these lists that appear in my own 100.

[@joshuaschulz3897]

I played Good Critters twice over the holidays. One of my favorite party games.

[@davidfavre6145]

The poor boy joke was on point ! 😂 Love New Orleans and the game Orléans btw ! (With expension invasion)😊

[@JustinandHanna]

What happened at 40:29? For anyone that may have watched it live…

[@TheSchaef47]

Stand strong, Tom, Rising Sun is also my favorite of the Eric Lang big box CMON games

[@henrikbrynildsen1387]

Wow, Zee is indeed evolving! First AH Card Game, then Nemo's War :o I love it!

[@terry3733H]

rescue polar bears 😊thanks for noting hidden gems! 😢sold out though... hoping reprint...clever but less traumatic than Endangered

[@HorseIRL]

Been waiting for this. I'll celebrate by playing VS Tom/Mike/Zee Vagrantsong haints tonight! Oh, and Tom's tie Junk Card LOL.

[@TheInvisibleMan229]

"It's the most wonderful time of the year..." DT Top 100 with these 3 (and the People's Choice) is my favorite.

[@jackdempsy7104]

Was really hoping there would be a stretch goal to your Kickstarter where Zee has to do all top 10 videos in sandals or bare feet! Funniest DT moment in 2023! Bless you for keeping that joke going.

[@lf2334]

I have to say, I really liked Sam a lot, and was sad to see him go. However, Mike filled in so perfectly. I think he perfectly completed the trio. Now, we just need Sam to come back and have a group of 4! Although, that would be a bit crowded I would think. Great job, Mike!

[@scottytedrow9272]

Yeahhh!!! So glad to see Mike again!!! ❤

[@middleclassboardgamer]

It's officially New Years Day!!!

[@demacolapoo]

7 days late buddy

[@jankogo]

Nice! Here we go again! 👏👏👏

[@carlosgarcia271]

As a fellow musician I love how the dice tower writes, plays and records their own music, Tom, Mike and Zee intro songs were based lol

[@KeenanBaker]

Is that really them singing?

[@carlosgarcia271]

​@@KeenanBaker​ I don't know who is singing but I have seen that most of the dice tower folks play an isntrument

[@KissellMissile]

​@@jl3612It's a guy named Eric Herman who makes children's music (you can find his stuff online). I played a pretty epic game of A Study in Emerald with him. He was also on one of the GenCon live shows.

[@JonReid01]

Apologies if I'm speaking precipitously, but Tom has mentioned in previous Q and A's that they outsource the original music, but I don't think it's an on camera personality who does it.

[@carlosgarcia271]

@@JonReid01 ohh really? Didn't know that, I had ear that Chris Yi plays music and to my ear it seems like is something home made you know, that's why I though it was them, I apologize for the miss information

[@nikitaxexe6058]

I love this trio!❤🎉

[@GeeEmm81]

Agree about The Dark Knight Returns Mike. Great game that gets better the more you play it, shame it’s not talked about more. Actually have it set up at the moment.

[@Tzimisce25]

It is nice that Catan which came out in 95 is the People's Choice 95 :) Totally Agree with Mike on 93. The draft mechanic is the main reason I like this game from the Trio.

[@JonathonV]

I am astonished at Mike’s number 100. I agree with his original appraisal of that game (I ranked it 299 out of 394; it was fine but it just didn’t impress me). Also, 1992 was 32 years ago, not 22 (math teacher Tom messes up the subtraction!). Thanks for some great lists! Excited to see the rest! Here are my 100-91: 100. PASSTALLY. This would be higher except that it has a max of three players. 99. WORLD’S FAIR 1893. 98. ARCHITECTS OF THE WEST KINGDOM. 97. SUBURBIA. 96. WINGSPAN. I was surprised at how much this fell. But there are so many great games out there! 95. GLEN MORE II: CHRONICLES. 94. NOTRE DAME. 93. THE PRINCES OF FLORENCE. 92. DICE THEME PARK. Love the dice activations here; it’d be higher if it weren’t so finicky to keep track of everything. 91. DICE HOSPITAL. Surprised that these two games in the same series were in a row! Not intentional! 😂 See you on the next ten! I’ll be there with my crystal latte.

[@metal_helm]

I got The Crew about 2 years ago from my wife. I've wanted to play it, but I just cannot wrap my head around the manual. I've never played a trick-taking game before and when I read it, I just end up with more questions than when I started. 😭

[@robinmarks4771]

For whatever it's worth, Mike, I know it's a colloquial idiom, but I've actually eaten crow, and it's surprisingly delicious.

[@PinothyJ]

The problem with Sketchers is they have very little support. They are the bean bags of shoes: comfortable but offer no adequate support. If you ever start having foot issues it is most certainly your shoes.

[@grandad1982]

Chipping Sodbury has a suprisingly wide and nice highstreet. Plus its neatBristol so it must be ok.

[@patrickotoole6115]

Good critters is an underrated gem!

[@KaronaG]

Omg Mike's #100 almost made me spit my drink out because of the hate in the past few years lol omg

[@ethancollins4593]

I don't always watch top 100 lists, but when I do, they have to feature Major Internet Celebrities, like Mike DiLisio.

[@JorWat25]

I just want to know if Caper: Europe has reached Zee's number 1 spot yet, as Mike and Tom suggested it might last year.

[@tawink]

My favorite time of year Dice Tower Top 100

[@jimmybaggz5932]

My 100-91 100. Star Trek Catan 99. Forbidden Island 98. Smartphone Inc. 97. Tajemnitze Domostwo 96. Carcassonne 95. Caylus 94. Happy Pigs 93. Just One 92. Legendary Inventors 91. Xia: Legends of a Drift

[@condar15]

You did your bit on 92, I don't remember most of it as I was born in the latter half of that year. I'm 31. Enjoy feeling old fellas :D

[@Orochi_001]

I have over 20 pairs of Half Cabs, which aren’t in any danger of being discontinued, so go nuts.

[@bradymccann]

Love these videos!!!!

[@blu-eyegeek8419]

Just watched this and laughed at Zee's comment during 92 about Steamboat Willie ... especially now that Steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse has just gone Public Domain.

[@StevenStJohn-kj9eb]

Really was hoping after Mike's #100 surprise that we'd see Tom's #100 be Viking See-Saw.

[@Lanxe]

LOL Mike's 100.... so good!

[@Scooterspade]

perfect Ozzy reference Mike, I salute you ! :)

[@thecaryou]

The Dark Knight Returns is a good game actually finished the campaign and I don't play solo games, recommend.

[@nathalievazquez4708]

I love the 2024 Dice Tower theme and esthetics!

[@randomjunk1977]

I found a copy of Snow Tails and I loved it, but I ended up selling it because every time I tried to play it at least one person playing just couldn't get it. The system is not complicated but its just esoteric enough it breaks about every fourth person's brain apparently.

[@GivenToFly201]

Love seeing the differnent lists. I know that I share almost no games with Zee before the full 100 lol

[@KingCommaAndrew]

Vaalbara is awesome. So easy to learn and play and creates such a great experience.

[@edwindrood2816]

Good stuff

[@IgnatzZwakh]

33:04 AKA Frosthaven.

[@markbeaulieu411]

I love the top 100 lists. Always reminds me of games I need to check out. I will say I like Viscounts of the West Kingdom the best of the West Kingdom series. I can see the higher learning curve and that it’s got steps to learn. However, once you get it down it’s so smooth. Plus the solo mode may be my favorite solo game.

[@joeferreti9442]

I also like VWK the most of the WK series. But it has a lot of bookkeeping.

[@jonathannevers]

VWK is my top 3 game of all time, love it!

[@markbeaulieu411]

@@jonathannevers it’s my #4.

[@jdober77]

I play a stupid game in my head. "Who has the best ten games for this ten" For this ten, I think Tom has the games I'm interested in.

[@joeferreti9442]

Ah, I forgot to vote for the people's choice this year.

[@TheSchaef47]

DTW Timm could make a good showing in a Levar Burton lookalike contest.

[@tiford184]

I almost didn’t submit my top 25 because I couldn’t find Ra, but eventually got it (typed out the spaces, brackets, and year)

[@frankiepb]

OMG, Mike's #100 😂😂😂😂😂 BRA-VO 👏👏👏 8:31

[@JoshuaLivie]

Cataan is still popular? I had no idea. I can't play it anymore, but more power to the people.

[@andrewclifton185]

not to make you feel worse Tom but 1992 wasn't 22 years ago!!

[@pikkdogs]

Pumped for the kick starter. Is there a pledge level that includes Sketchers Stretch Fit shoes?

[@gameclubtabletophobbyandtablet]

It's the most wonderful time of the year

[@jflartner117]

Tom I would not recommend buying more than 1 pair of the same shoe at a time - the materials will wear if you aren't using them much (or at all).

[@thedicetower]

Good info to know!

[@StevenStJohn-kj9eb]

Who here likes Mike's third album, "Accidental Charisma" more than his second album, "Accidental Intelligence"?

[@jorgetag]

I spit my food with Mike´s 100. That was really shocking.

[@Hybridtheory2007]

Why did Zee like Witchcraft but not Resist? Aren't they basically the same?

[@terry3733H]

Dale of Merchants is it hard to run the game? 😮

[@TheRealWookieman]

That takes a lot of editing 😂 Number 91.

[@brentman1000000]

Does anyone know what is being sung during the intro for Mike’s top 100?

[@mstreed]

YES, ALITA can steal my shine anytime. She's my best buddy! #94

[@quashmonkey]

Woo Mike's number 95 hope to see it move up the list

[@stormshadow2k]

Live chat: "I've never seen Mike and Batman in the same place"

[@TylerAndToast]

Bummed that I missed voting on this. Didn't see anything on it

[@CassiusEvon]

The moment I heard Mike with "nr 100 is gonna shock you" I went "The Crew!". Come to the dark side Mike

[@paulmccaffrey2985]

Is there significance to "10:11"?

[@TK421trooper]

Veiled Fate is so good!

[@spencerbeard3904]

The intro sounds SO much like "Cat Quest"

[@12thLevelSithLord]

Wait what happened with Ben Maddox? I'm not very in the loop

[@danieltownley7436]

Tom, I hate to break it to you, but 1992 was 32 years ago, not 22 years. Mike, I hate to downplay your accidental intelligence achievement, but we're actually quite a lot closer to 2045 than 1992!

[@goldengaruda8935]

I didn’t realize I could vote for the Unmatched system or I woulda

[@middleclassboardgamer]

Master of Respect sounds a lot like Dojo Kun

[@joncasso]

Tom… 92 was not 22 years ago… I know because I was born then. Talk to my knees they are feeling every bit 32 and maybe even more

[@go_golden]

I used to be a board gamer like you, but then I took 32 years to the knee

[@SKvSG]

dvonn is lines of action Zee! Love the gipf series but if you squint enough they all have an discernable origin
