42:33 The best tiebreak rule, imo, comes from the game of Arboretum: "the tied players both plant a tree. In five years' time, the player whose tree has grown the tallest wins" :-

@theSolemnBard Год назад

One of my favorite rules in general is in Tindahan, aka Filipino Fruit Market: in the event of a tie, designer Peer Sylvester wins, even if he wasn't playing

@bradjohnston8825 Год назад

oh my lord. Mike got so invested, he forgot how to multiply, priceless

@flawed1 Год назад

I just like to say that I think the reason these lists continue to work is because Tom gives everyone such freedom to interpret what should be on the list. It would be easy to tell people exactly what the list titled meant. Then they would end up too similar

@danacoleman4007 Год назад

I was thinking the same thing. Sometimes the other contributors complain that something is too broad a topic, but they should be celebrating that fact instead. Sly like a fox, that Thomas is!

@bonmacp Год назад

“Poetry for Neanderthals” is my pick. Hitting people with the “NO!” stick is so much fun, and the game is just totally ridiculous stupid fun. I highly recommend it! 😂

@afaik1Ben Год назад

Mike, at 32:10 , it's not a possessive s. The apostrophe in that case means that a word is abbreviated. In this case " 's" is short for "es", meaning "it". Therefore, a pretty direct translation of the game title would be "Shake It". (Oh, btw, it's German.)

@Bllurr1 Год назад

As ever, "ridiculous" doesn't have to be a negative quality. Sometimes things succeed entirely because they are ridiculous in the right way.

@dylanshearsbyart Год назад

Zee, Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat did exactly that (the Fake Artist thing) of taking turns making marks on paintings. Just thought I'd mention for trivia sake..

It has to be the silly face he made for the PowerPoint on the "top 5 turnoffs" video

@pnutbutrncrackers Год назад

I kind of disagree with Zee on A Fake Artist Goes to New York. Sure, if you press the details as exactingly as he did it doesn't hold together. But I've always liked the backstory -- that someone on the lamb (from what, we don't know) is trying to blend in with a group of artists in order to keep his identity from being discovered. THAT makes sense. Regarding the exact particulars after that, dip your brush into a little imagination on your palette and carry on!🎨

@BellydancerMaliha Год назад

You guys make me laugh. This was so much fun to watch! These games do look ridiculous but some of them are also strangely intriguing…

@kyleb8117 Год назад

This was a fun video to watch, as I expected. It was so fun watching the banter and jokes on this one. 😂 I love Tokyo Jidohanbaiki (Mike's #7). You can create any game you like with it, but I quite like the one where you're buying stock in shapes/colors of the bottles. The suggested dexterity game is quite fun, too. It makes me wish I was clever enough to make up a really fun game with it. Probably would try to make one that makes it more likely for stuff to stick in the vending machine. I do wish they got stuck in there more often.

Totally interpreted this top 10 differently than Tom, Zee, and Mike did lol Here was some i originally had: Gatefall - Ridiculous "minis" size. Like Absurd! Ultra Tiny Epic games ( Galaxies/Kingdoms) - Like why do we need Ultra Tiny Epic lol Smash Up - Theme; gotta love when Steampunk Princess take on Killer Plant Spidermen and Ghost Haflings lol Funkoverse - Theme again. Funny Chibi's fighting eachother in ridiculous/fun fashion Ice Cool - the flicking mechanic Disney Sidekicks - Cute, Family, Disney, approachable game right? Wrong! Hard, convoluted, boring game lol King of Tokyo - Theme wise just always seemed like giant monsters having a Ho-down or tango dance party on a poor city lol

@noizeemama3697 7 месяцев назад

This was my favorite video of The Dice Tower. Had me laughing along with you.

@CosmicFrogX Год назад

Lokus has a heart on the door because (almost) all outhouses in bavaria have a heart shaped peephole. It's there for ventilation, to see if it's occupied (or somebody got unconcious, which could happen because of gases) and if you turn the heart shape around it resembles a butt (that's why it got picked for a toilet symboly back in the days, it's a modest and descreet pictogram).

the game itself isn't ridiculous I don't think, it's a funny concept like Twilight Inscription, but even Tom agrees that doesn't fit the criteria for this list

@littlemissevel3607 Год назад

I assumed A Fake Artist Goes To New York .. was representational of .. a fictional conversation rather than in any way literal. Like everyone is talking about how great one piece of art is and you have no idea why they like it so you are pretending to like and just say something to fit in .. 'ah yess.. the textual brushstrokes upon the rotten banana speaks volumes' ... to which they reply 'that's an elbow' ...for example.

@matteopanza7083 Год назад

"Aye, dark overlord" is pretty ridiculous as well

@MadmanCZ Год назад

Rampage or Terror in Meeple City is such a fun game. I have two kids and we are often play this game and have a blast. Yeah, granted its not. not aimed ať adults but its a fun game.

@PerStarback Год назад

There are several really ridiculous concepts behind several games from Cheapass Games. The first one I thought of when seeing the title is "Bitin' Off Hedz" where you play dinosaurs in a suicide race up a volcano trying to throw themselves into that volcano.

I owned Dart Wars. Great concept, but the magnetic darts/board did not work and the darts often fell out or slid down the board making it basically unplayable. A cork version would have been great.

I remembered Dr. Shark from the bad games from great designers list, it was on Zee's list, so it is not surprising Zee hates it :)

@davidchampagne9802 Год назад

I own the Queen Games' Shogun 2006 version. The battle system uses a tower where you drop little cubes (armies) and some of them will get stuck in. It's a good game but ridiculous combat results from the tower. Very frustrating when you attack with 8 cubes someone who has 3, then the tower result screw you with a 2-3 result. Sometimes after the final points countdown we empty the tower to find why someone has lost the game even if he played well, a lot of his cubes stuck inside.

14:15 It may be ridiculous to play as a genetic trait but it does make perfect sense. They may not be a conscious entity but they do have the goal of being reproduced--who knows how much these traits drive our behavior (the fact that I have dark hair/skin and I'm "mysteriously" attracted to women with dark hair/skin, is just one example of their power over our supposed "free will").

@soogymoogi Год назад

I'd argue some of that is social, especially when it comes to race/culture, but yeah, there have been some studies done that show people are more attracted to genetically similar folks iirc. Interesting thought

Schüttel's means "Shake it" - makes sense even though it is a little extra weird that the meeple people are referred to as "it" - however, Great list

@piratesofpa55 Год назад

I think the "it" refers to the cup containing the people.

@StefanPietraszak Год назад

The "s" at the end of "Schüttel's" is not possesive. The title (short for "Schüttel es") could be translated as "shake it". As for "Lokus", that's colloquial for toilet. In this case, it's an outhouse, which used to (or at least supposed to have had) heart-shaped openings in their door. "Knattern, bis die Schüssel qualmt!" (on the cover) means (again, colloquially) "shit until the toilet bowl smokes". Don't ask ...

Some out houses here in europe has a hole in from of a heart, diamond or crescent moon on the doors. Have seen quite a few at least here in sweden on vacations. Since that game is german, it does make sense to have a heart hole on the door. One of my silliest game is Meeple Circus. Trying to balance meeples, animals and some other pieces to make specific combinations. While the classic circus tune plays, also. The person fastest gets to grab a bonus. Real time, stress and very silly. It takes around 15 min to play.
