Top 100 Games of All Time: 90-81

[@professormayhem3080]

For what it's worth, I prefer this format. It's fun to hear you guys going back and forth. Much more fun than the solo top 100's

[@neilerredge5358]

Yes!! My patience is rewarded!! Welcome back guys!

[@TheRASDEL83]

Awesome to have you back guys!!! Great video, great games, great barter... I think I speak for everyone when I say.. . We missed that XD

[@Trae_Lenox]

"I understand how logic works" - Zee

[@nicholasburke2864]

I love this new format for the lists! I hope Sam's picks keep increasingly confusing Tom and Zee.

[@MeepleOverboard]

"Butt Ineconomy!" -Sam Healey This is classic stuff. Keep my inner 6-year old boy giggling please.

[@lasttruegypsy]

I literally love every game on this list. There are usually at least a couple games that someone lists that I don't like or don't even want to try. I can't wait for the rest of this list to show up.

[@thediceodyssey4690]

Been waiting with baited breath for the post-hurricane brouhaha! So glad this is back! One of the highlights of my ever-loving day! Thanks for this guys.

[@AdamSchaumberg]

I love the background! Great discussion guys, keep it up.

[@smoothcriminal28]

Sam, your timing was on fire here. The lost cities bit was sooo funny!!! Lmao

[@mikej.8885]

it seems like Sam just randomly put stuff on his list like always lol

[@2dTones]

Sam's 85 "it's a kind of party euro-ish game, it's a team game" Me: "if he says Codenames everyone's head will explode"

[@eliumeldritch]

Sam wins this segment- awesome pics!

[@kuremalone78]

Love Dungeon Twister. Wish I had gotten all expansions before they went out of print. Would love to see more.

[@bicycler4life]

I love the videos, but miss the pics of the games and components. Thanks for all you do for gaming guys!

[@GreyKnightSolo]

Derek, pls start adding components pictures, this was really handy in the past.

[@Trevin_Taylor]

Grey Knight why? Helpful for what? Not trolling, seriously asking. I don't know how that helps understand a games place in a top 100 list.

[@swegjedi1695]

I've only played about 20 games in my life but I watch tons of these reviews and other videos. So I don't always instantly recognize the names of the games but component pictures help me remember.

[@oranjb]

I second this, top 100's are a fast way to see lists of great games I may have never heard of or considered before. I bought Kingsburg based off a previous top 100 after seeing pic of the board. The summary alone wouldn't have sold me on it. Please add the pics! Otherwise great job 😁

[@torchsight8258]

It's a double edged sword i suppose, if the game looks great a component picture helps the game, if it doesn't, it doesn't. I'm voting in favor of the idea anyways as i was thinking the same thing as i was watching :)

[@CosmicTavern]

I will have to agree. I like seeing what the components look like for these games. It's what helped me get into certain games from past top 100's. Please bring them back!

[@13shivan]

this must be one of the best videos of dice tower i have seen so far. also cavemen is a really good game with a slight issue of runaway leader. still a good pick by zee

[@jasonkelly9695]

Great list. Really like the 3 of you together. Your back and forth is very funny. But if possible can u include your BGG ratings. I'd like to know how large the range is on certain games

[@Trevin_Taylor]

Jason Kelly not gonna happen. Sorry.

[@Straddllw]

And then Zee's #1 - Twilight Imperium 4. *World explodes*

[@Birnbaum81]

back in all your glory! :)

[@robaholic100]

Zee, you gotta force those guys to play Caveman Quest For Fire. You also gotta do it on a live play. This game has popped up in multiple videos and Tom and Sam always react the same way. I have this game myself and love it, and i'm sure other would too if they could see it played.

[@angewomon143]

Added a few more to my need to check out list

[@padraigb580]

Zee's 81 sounds like a great candidate for "Under the Radar" or "Quirky Game"

[@saluk7419]

Looks like memory... kind of a cool frame to build a more involved game on in a way I haven't seen before.

[@TylerAndToast]

I laughed so much in this video. So good!

[@johnr8095]

Is Dust 1947 any different than dust put out by Final fantasy? I bought a bunch of minis when They went on sale after fantasy flight lost the license. But it was already a bit confusing as to which game the minis belonged to. Dust tactics or dust. And now there,s dust 1947. If I got into dust 1947 can I use existing minis, or do I have to start over and collecting from beginning.

[@BlimpMcGee]

I really like this format, to be honest I don't watch Sam's top 100 because I think our tastes are way too different but I'ts nice to have him here and see what he picked compared to Tom's and Zee's picks

[@Bodyknock]

Marcus Totally agree, when it comes to their top ten lists the three of them together are much better than the sum of the parts. I watch basically all of their three-man lists but don't watch most of their single person lists. Their interactions with each other are a big part of what makes it entertaining. :)

[@giovannabetancourt3064]

Agree! My tastes mostly align with Zee's, like them short and easy to teach! I will watch some of Tom's but I don't watch Sam's at all he likes these long complex games. And not bashing those I would actually love to try and play some of these but the people I play with would hate me and I wouldn't be able to convince them to play. Love the set up because I still get to see what he likes!

[@AhnFire73]

And I am for team Sam! Thematic games with killing! ;-)

[@matttinnell2912]

Sam is right Terraforming Mars is extremely thematic

[@vaughnbutler6129]

Sam if you like miniature games you should really check out the Batman Miniature Game by Knight Models. Fantastic game, amazing fluff, usual crew size is between 6 and 11 models.

[@Romey301]

Finally!!! Someone that likes cavemen the quest for fire

[@officejedi7465]

is this list going to be published anywhere??? outside of the end of the videos?

[@ZakiJeppe]

I actually own Cavemen: The Quest for Fire. It is a fun game. I think Sam have played. I remember seeing it on his twitter a while ago.

[@gerrade71278]

Enjoy the vids. Would be good if you could include a list of all games covered in description. Looking to buy some of the games covered here can be really confusing. For example Robinson Crusoe has a lot of buying options and all with different cover art. Name. Creator-Artist. Publisher This would be a great quick reference tool.

[@Steve-L]

Captain Sonar is my 48th favorite game. It is a hard game to rank as I love it, but not something I would play regularly. A convention style game. So its in about in the middle of my top 100.

[@Alluvian567]

I am apparently a mutant (or my gaming group is) as we all like it better in the turn based mode. We just don't like many real time games. very fun game, but one I won't ever own because I get 8 to the table so rarely and don't even have a table that will fit that many, heh.

[@DanieleMazzoni]

cavemen: the quest for fire, that's a new one! looking into it :)

[@gamera2351]

I love Jason Peacock's painted miniatures for the countdown. 90 - Doom 89 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 88 - Arcadia Quest Inferno 87 - Conan 86 - ??? 85 - Blood Rage 84 - The Others 83 - Star Wars Imperial Assault 82 - Tail Feathers 81 - Rum & Bones So... What game are the minis from for # 86?

[@GoldenSirius]

Last year I predicted that Dungeon Twister would fall in your 80s and I was right. Next year it's off the list. :)

[@neilerredge5358]

Who did the number intros?

[@PeacockJason]

That was me.

[@pad92011]

wow... I just got an ad from TMG before the video. Good job KZbin, good job!

[@RedEyedGhost1]

I got that one yesterday too. I much preferred it to the Suave one I've been getting most of the time these past 3-4 weeks. And because I know that the channel doesn't get paid if we skip the ad, I always end up watching them...

[@MeepleOverboard]

It was kind of nice. Mostly other ads have simply taught me that 40% of Americans try to eat a healthy diet but struggle, and that depression is a web of multiple emotions... I liked the TMG trailer a lot more!

[@RedEyedGhost1]

Ha! I forgot about those depression pill ads. Luckily they've been much more rare for me lately. Instant mute on them. I've been getting a terrible one about how these five healthy foods will actually rot your soul! Click now to learn what they are!!!

[@pad92011]

Really? I didn't know that. I'm definitely not watching the depression ads...

[@mikejonesnoreally]

I got the trailer for Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite. You do know that you can kind of tailor them to your buying tastes right?

[@Downloaded7]

The troll is strong with Sam today

[@MrTravolta7]

Please, put some gameplay pictures. Its a huge improvement. CMON

[@mattvucu6706]

Happy because battle line is good and lost cities is more an exercise than a game, so basically double happy.

[@teslavoltagames3208]

Twilight Imperium is the best. I agree with Sam.

[@HainishMentat]

No more Board Game Blitzketeers to do the numbers??

[@shawnmitkowski9192]

So who painted the minis for this countdown, they look fantastic.

[@Trevin_Taylor]

Shawn Mitkowski my guess is Vernon. The voice wasn't Sam, and didn't seen to be Rob either, so he's the painter that's left. Also, the terrible sound quality leads me to believe it's not someone with a lot of KZbin experience.

[@PeacockJason]

That was me. Thanks for the kind words.

[@Randallsilver]

Wait, Days of Wonder has a game other than Ticket to Ride?? (and to say that they were once my favourite publishers)

[@legorocketraccoon8297]

I wonder how Tom will feel when he discovers it's Thrawn from Star Wars Rebels?

[@O.G.Alphaborn]

Terraforming Mars. DRAFT ONLY Sam. Helps a lot with lucky card draws

[@Karak-Fak]

Death Vader's ship is named The Executor. Like the person who deals with a will. Or dispenses with the law. Not the fake word that actually means executioner. Because that would be just silly.

[@TeChNoWC7]

The irony is that it looks like Sam’s 101 was SmallWorld

[@seneca291]

I'd like to know how many times you played games on your list :)

[@TheWarmupLap]

If Downforce is the highest racing game that means Thunder Alley is off Tom's list. That makes me sad.

[@Coupdegrace1]

Memoir 44 for life!

[@mikejonesnoreally]

Great list but I can't find 100--91?? When I saw this I looked all the way back to GenCon stuff. I got nuthin'.

[@thedicetower]

[@MariusPartenie]

Here it is - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHzGkHegocmgpq8

[@mikejonesnoreally]

Thanks! Sorry about that.

[@GeorgeZCray]

My bad. Carry on. Nothing to see...

[@jcb3393]

28:15 - Saptain Conar?

[@EclecticCamel]

What' s wrong with YJ? It was meant for the Pokemon crowd, and it worked well for what it was trying to be.

[@TheNickBasso]

what's that weird sound around minute 41? :O

[@Trevin_Taylor]

Nicolò Basso jet airplane

[@ricke1732]

I get the impression that Sam doesn't like as many games as Tom and Zee. It seems as though these 20 games are some of Tom and Zee's favorites, but Sam only seems lukewarm on his list so far.

[@toddhunter123]

Ricky Eads how else would we know what games are worth playing because the board "looks nice"

[@Lizziedotdotdot]

I think he just gives this impression because he is trying to offset Tom and Zee saying "he's changed" because he has included abstracts etc.

[@smoothcriminal28]

I read that Sam Healy doesnt even play games and this is all an act.

[@cybergecko6472]

Your next top ten should be top ten friendship destroyers

[@Rb-hm5mliu]

Whohooooo

[@DocBhoy]

Poor old Sam is always getting wound up by the other two!

[@wroot_lt]

Small World is 101 :D

[@BBHouseRodent]

They're monsters...

[@wroot_lt]

Ave Andretti!

[@stephanberger3476]

Zee! Just watch the miniseries of Pillars!

[@Steve-L]

Spyfall is a game that one of my sons really likes, but has fallen drastically for me. I prefer The Chameleon much more.

[@Steve-L]

Beasty Bar is my 81 but Guillotine is my 69. But have only played beast bar once.

[@uglijimus]

wait a minute...does that mean Tom is going to do another one in just a few more months? I'm missing the point here...

[@melvinj.124]

I looooooove city building games

[@whitleypedia]

I've only heard of a couple of these. I'm out of the loop!

[@balzi76]

What the heck happened to number announcer?

[@Trevin_Taylor]

Matthew Bowles but they did announce the numbers...

[@balzi76]

I mean it's a different voice. I've heard it so many times that it was almost jarring to hear a different version.

[@Osborne4Life]

Sam is Cthulhuist.

[@TmGergo]

A tree died for this countdown :(

[@rasmusolesen5307]

TmGergo At least youtube and all the other online services you youse from your smartphone, computer and/or tv, run on renewable magic fairy dust.

[@martinlarouche4418]

The first edition of Dust was so much better than the 3rd (aka Dust 1947) that it's not even funny to compare them. They made the game significantly worse at the second version and the 3rd is a co tinuation of the second. Also does not help the line that they made 4 different rulesets (1, 1 revised, 2 and 3) within only 5 years...

[@Downloaded7]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@laughingbandit33]

I feel like Sam phoned this one in. It is surely a coincidence because this is a 100 list but most of this segment were game styles Sam doesn't even like, very cult of the new, and games that in his description he points out what's wrong with them and admits he has barely played them. How can a game someone has played once and been out for less than a year be one of the best games EVER?

[@way9689]

Jason Lheureux I believe these are their top 100 not THE top 100. Sam's tastes have changed radically in the time since he joined the dice tower full time. His list reflects that

[@ryanboylan167]

Did I miss 100-91???

[@DerekKalista]

#downforce new track! 😍

[@RestorationGames]

Working on it. More to announce soon.

[@grahamhaslett6943]

If I had designed Santorini, I think I'd feel a bit deflated if anyone said it was overproduced. Come on now, if it wasn't as nicely made you'd be saying, oh it's nice but it could do with nicer components..

[@Barney5G]

Great video. Although the term "cave man" is politically incorrect and sexist. Please use " earlier-age grunting human"

[@koomo801]

Barney5G Don't you think they should have been allowed the chance to self-identify as human before you so rudely assigned that label? Back to college for you!

[@Bodyknock]

(also see "Tool Man" Tim Allen)

[@angewomon143]

But the name of the game is literally cavemen

[@alicemoore2036]

Century Spice Road has not killed Splendor!

[@bagookster]

Alice Moore so tired of hearing that when anyone talks about Century. Different games, and in my opinion, splendor is still the better game.

[@BlimpMcGee]

Kingsburg was the killer, in the library with the rope

[@Alluvian567]

Nah, it was Catan in the atrium with the pliers. We can both be right in this first phase, but in the second, one of us will be correct. So sayeth the ghost.

[@alicemoore2036]

Splendor is alive and well and has b-slapped Century.

[@yogibbear]

Both are boring snooze fests. Century: Golem Edition has killed Spice Road and Splendor while they were both sleeping in a spice fuelled snooze off after comparing their diamonds to one another. :D

[@rolandbruno686]

Downforce!

[@Karak-Fak]

Urghgh Ex-e-cutor. People still call it that ?! It's Exe-CU tor! One is a word. The other is not.

[@Trevin_Taylor]

Mark Fak yeah...the first one...ex-e-cutor.

[@Karak-Fak]

This is a common conversation I have... “What’s an executor ?” “Ugh you know...? Some that executes people” “That’s an executioner...” “Oh... so what’s an executor ?” “They’re in charge of a will mate”

[@Trevin_Taylor]

Mark Fak i think we actually agree on the word, just disagree on how to type it. I agree with your response and have had the same conversation. Maybe ex-EC-u-tor. Or maybe it's pronounced differently in different countries, I'm in the US.

[@Karak-Fak]

Oh I probably got it wrong haha. I was just trying to say when people say the word “executor”in reference to executing someone they’re saying a word that doesn’t exist. It’s pronounced as if one would be in charge of a will.

[@Trevin_Taylor]

Mark Fak I think the mistake is very understandable. You don't execution people, you execute people. One who executes would therefore be an executor. An executioner would be one who executions. This was a very poorly designed word, it seems. I understand the confusion. But of course you're right that one who executes is an executioner, for whatever reason. Apparently someone said, take THAT logical latin derivation!

[@GiantDevilDog]

Every top ten that Sam is involved in should have a cut to the title of the game spot in the comments...every time it's, "My (whatever number) is a game that....2 min of useless talking...blah blah".

[@vdanee79]
