The announcing of the nominees sounds exactly like how they announced hunger games contenders 😂

@heyheyjk-la 3 месяца назад

Love seeing "Age of Comics" in the Best Theme grouping, but wished they were also in the Best New Designer category.

@brettsobol3217 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the Raising Robots love! It’s an honor to be included with so many amazing games.

The moment Tom explained the change in the Best Reprint category, I knew in my heart it was because my beloved Thunder Road would be up for game of the year on so many people's lists. Glad that rule was adjusted!

Great list of games for sure!

Crazy no voidfall in any of these. A masterpiece of a game

@jameslebar9401 3 месяца назад

Im with you on this, I feel the Dice Tower's avoid games like voidfall. But I am shocked the "panel" they have avoided it as well, since Voidfall is always on the hotness of BGG, its incredible ratings and multple nominations from the golden geek awards.

@mr_boom105 3 месяца назад

Thunder road vendetta is just too much fun. Sure there are more thinky and mechanical games but the simplicity and ridiculousness of thunder road make it top tier.

@kungpow108 3 месяца назад

Knarr is a great game that just about anyone can play. However, there are a few avenues of play that feel rewarding. Already played this game 65 times between online and in person. No imperium horizons for best solo games is rough.

Kind of surprised me that I actually have 4 of the 10 top game nominees, as I don’t really have the time or $ to collect/play tons of games. My order is 1. Distilled 2. Darwin’s Journey (very close 2nd) 3. Earth (kind of underwhelming relative to the overall hype) 4. Ticket to Ride / LOTW (haven’t actually played but know TTR very well, so a guess)

@Jagkt 3 месяца назад

Great picks! However I think that Hegemony should have been nominated in best theme, Voidfall should have been nominated in best strategy game, Age of Innovation should have been nominated in best reprint, Expeditions should have been nominated in best art, Scarface 1920 should have been nominated in best production value, and Evacuation should have been nominated in best innovative game.

@joeferreti9442 3 месяца назад

I disagree with almost all of your statements. I like "Evacuation" but it isn't really innovative. I strongly dislike the theme of Hegemony. I dislike Voidfall. Wasn't Scarface years ago? Did it have production value??

@VoidVerification 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the nod to Kutná Hora, despite your original review being so negative. It is a bit of a weird game but I love it! Also thanks for the nod to Conny Vogelmann! I enjoy both Apiary and Wyrmspan a lot.

Best ignored category: - Hegemony: Lead Your Class to Victory - Life of the Amazonia - Voidfall - Oranienburger Kanal - Scarface 1920 - Scholars of the South Tigris - The Isofarian Guard - Hoplomachus: Victorum - Tales from the Red Dragon Inn - Deliverance - Terrorscape - Stationfall - Barcelona - La Famiglia: The Great Mafia War

@joeferreti9442 3 месяца назад

"Stationfall" maybe, but it has its problems. I don't see the rest.

@vanyaserra1 3 месяца назад

Raising Robots had better win its category

@ncreson 3 месяца назад

I would love to see it win best small publisher, but it has tough competition. I think it should have been in the best game category too. It's a great game. Fingers crossed that it wins.

@petergross7235 3 месяца назад

I wish these games at least got a nomination: 1. Hegemony 2. Void fall 3. City of the great machine 4. Scarface 1920 5. La Granja Master Set 6. Great Western Trail New Zealand 7. Mr. President 8. Ceres 9. Horrified Greek Monsters

@thedicetower 3 месяца назад

Hegemony was nominated for best game from a new designer.

@pyrotelekinesis7253 3 месяца назад

Ra FTW!

@Boardgametherapist 3 месяца назад

No Voidfall anywhere? You should give this game a fair chance! It’s more intimidating than it actually is and it is amazing. Hegemony as a game is a much harder game to learn and teach in my opinion.

@petergross7235 3 месяца назад

There were a lot of games not on the list. But they had to make enough room to get Distilled into every category. Sacrifices had to be made. 😅

@smoogums89 3 месяца назад

Voidfall looks boring and every convention I've seen it at nobody wants to learn it.

@Boardgametherapist 3 месяца назад

@@smoogums89 not a convention friendly game for sure. “Boring” was also my initial thought. Glad I gave it a try though as it is My GOTY 2023

@dilatedbeholder3865 3 месяца назад

No Best Family Game category?

@joeferreti9442 3 месяца назад

Wasn't "Earth" already awarded last year? Felt so. :/

Interesting choices

@blazing_KC 3 месяца назад

Sky Team looks like it's getting 3 awards.

@joeferreti9442 3 месяца назад

well, at least one not sure how to feel about it haven't played it, it seems ok-ish

@joeferreti9442 3 месяца назад

How is "Kutna Hora" innovative except for the material of the pieces?

@nerdyjawsh 3 месяца назад

Fun video, I was a little disappointed that apiary was snubbed on best strategy and game of the year. Predictions are that either Earth or Thunder Road will take the game of the year award.

@mikebollen9238 3 месяца назад

I'm a big fan of the Dice Tower theme variations, but can I suggest next year using something a bit less intrusive and bombastic for the nominations music bed? Hearing it so many times it got irritating very quickly.

@CarlosRodriguez-ez3ls 3 месяца назад

And how does Expeditions not get nominated for best artwork?

@jwspiker 3 месяца назад

real shame no deliverance on any of these lists. not sure on the artwork category,

@rexology_bg 3 месяца назад

At least the best game of the year, Lunar Rush, was nominated for best small publisher game. Stationfall should have been at least in innovative and it feels weird to see Vangelis Bagiartakis in new designer. Hegemony is deserving but new designer? Vangelis has been involved in a bunch of really good games before (Among the Stars series, Pursuit of Happiness, etc.).

@modemacabre 3 месяца назад

The biggest shock for me was how time after time Hegemony (the highest rated game of 2023 on BGG) did not get nominated. One nomination. I'm speechless. Not that my opinion matters more than any other single person, but Hegemony was my most memorable gaming experience of the year. I was shocked at how good this game was. Meanwhile Sky Team was one of my most forgettable. It was fine, just fine, but I would probably have to be talked into trying it again.

@petergross7235 3 месяца назад

It's their list; their awards. They only include what they like which makes sense. A lot of great games got missed, but there were so many in 2023 coming out they probably couldn't play enough of them as a group to consider them all.

@Socksrule3032 3 месяца назад

why are they called "welcoming games" and not "family games"?

@joeferreti9442 3 месяца назад

gateway games I guess, even when you don't have a family

@joeweber4563 3 месяца назад

“Family Games” sounds like it’s made to play with kids. The term “Welcoming Games” is used because it is what we in the board game hobby might suggest to play with family/friends who are not aware of these types of games. It is how we might introduce people into the world of tabletop gaming.

@LiamMaguire-hc9yf 3 месяца назад

Crazy that Dune Imperium Uprising was not in any category. Should've been in theme, strategy, and game of the year at least. Not saying it would win all those but not showing up in any is wild.

@joeferreti9442 3 месяца назад

maybe biggest scam of the year

@jayclassic6974 2 месяца назад

I love how overproduced the dice tower is, everyone seems so awkward after a intermission like jeez tom stop blowing the budget

@megalodon2012 3 месяца назад

I wouldve added Barcelona (Dani Garcia) for best new designer. Otherwise these are great lists.

@aaronconnell3271 3 месяца назад

I'm betting on ticket to ride winning game of the year

@abendoso7267 3 месяца назад

So… Distilled is best game from a new publisher, right? It is the only game of that category that is also in the best game category. And Sky Team the best 2 player for the same reason, etc… that is the problem with so many categories, you end up cornering yourself or with inconsistencies. In any case nice selection of games

@joeferreti9442 3 месяца назад

You don't have to be that strict. The different category mainly give opportunity to award many different games.

@CarlosRodriguez-ez3ls 3 месяца назад

Completely uninspiring. Hegemony left off game of the year is ridiculous.

@sarumon17 3 месяца назад

Of the I think ~200 people able to submit nominations for this, I bet

@modemacabre 3 месяца назад

@@sarumon17 I see what you're saying but these are board game reviewers. Accessibility would be a major factor in a people's choice award, but a panel of board game reviewers would presumably have a far greater knowledge, especially of games popular enough to enter the BGG too 100 in their year of release, and I disagree that accessibility should be a factor, other than in a category like "best welcoming game".

@sarumon17 3 месяца назад

@@modemacabre good points. I’m the end I guess joey and Tom only have hegemony and 8, so the dice tower in general just might not represent all bgg users.

@cursivecurses 3 месяца назад

@@modemacabre @sarumon17 has the right of it. There are plenty of reviewers that focus on short / family games that do not have time to play a beast like Hegemony, or wouldn't want to. There are a few, I'm sure, but when the award is voted on by "most" board game reviewers, the few aren't going to change the tide. In the past, I really haven't seen very many games that heavy on the DT awards - probably not too surprising to see the same thing here.

@zvnetzley9209 3 месяца назад

And I have no doubt that there are war games, miniature games, and train games that people out there think should be a game of the year. I would expect Hegemony to be something that Edward and friends over at Heavy Cardboard would be considering much more strongly. The Dice Tower is much more of the masses. Nothing wrong with either take.

@namelessfire 3 месяца назад

I get that there are plenty of games out there and everyone has an opinion (Stationfall is easily my game of the year) but Hegemony got robbed. The hobby mainstream has been so meh for the past few years.
