Top 100 Games of All Time - 20-11 

Roy: "The all game is mastermind!" Zee: "Ok, you know what? Let me talk." Zee: "In this game, you play mastermind." 😂😂😂😂😂😂 The way he delivers these kind of lines: Zee really got some natural comedian talent 👏

That hat/vest/shirt/tie combo???? What are we doing Thomas? I ask with love.

Ohhhh wow! They put my wife's game on the wall! How cool is that, thanks Dice Tower - It'll mean so much to her! (Moonshell)

Mike: “You’ve got your idea of hygiene, I’ve got mine” please wear this T-shirt at your next dice tower event!

Sometimes I think that I enjoy your conversations more than the games. Great job guys!!

I was driving home today and thinking about how funny a Dice Tower mocumentary would be.

When Mike calls his own shot on the crossover, more than he thought it would.

Jut thanks guys for such an amazing conversation. Please keep up the good work and have a lovely year.

Decided this year to track the games you all mention according to 1. Games I want to play (w) 2. Games I’ve played (p) 3. Games I own (o) Crossover in this stretch: Mike: (7) #18-14, 12, 11 (o, 3p, w, 2p) Zee: (3) #15, 14, 12 (2w, o) Tom: (5) #20, 17, 15, 13, 11 (w, 2o, 2p) People: (6) #19-16, 14, 11 (2p, o, p, o, p) Totals (this stretch): Own = 6 Played = 11 Want to play = 4 Totals (overall, trying not to count repeats): Own = 26 Played = 38 Want to play = 19 Notes: 1. Want to play (w) can mean I want to play it for any particular reason. Own (o) and Played (p) can crossover obviously, but I don’t count a game in both categories, if I own it, it won’t be on the played list. 2. Set 30-21 holds the record with (10) games under my owned (o) category. Mike, Zee, & the People share this record with (3) games appearing in a set of ten. Mike has two sets (40-31; 30-21); Zee & the People (30-21). 3. Set 20-11 has the record with (11) games under my played (p) category. Mike holds the record with (5) games in a set of ten (20-11). 4. Sets 100-91, 90-81, 80-71 share the record with (4) games each under my want to play (w) category. Mike, Tom, and Zee share the record with (2) games in a set of ten. Mike has three sets of ten (100-91, 90-81, 80-71); Tom with (30-21); Zee with (20-11). 5. The highest crossover for: Games owned (o): (12) The People Games played (p): (19) The People Games I want to play (w): (7) Mike, Tom 6. The People & I have (36) total crossovers Tom & I have (31) total crossovers Mike & I have (29) total crossovers Zee & I have (19) total crossovers

This might be the one time you could get away with a title like, "Top 100 of all time, 20-11, and number 11 will SURPRISE YOU!!!" Yes, that was a surprising number 11 for three lists!

Lol. Tom’s number 17, Quacks. Aldie accidentally sold me two bags of the same upgrade bits for Quacks, but 2 of the same bag for the 1st expansion. I asked BGG about the mishap. When I told Aldie he asked if I would send my extra expansion upgrade bits to Tom so he would get it for his copy and he would get us a bag of upgrade bits for the base game. We unfortunately never got a bag of upgrade bits for the base game from Aldie or BGG, but it wasn’t that much money, so… … we just bought the bits for the base again. Either way, I’m so glad I was able to help Aldie, BGG and The Dice Tower. Thanks Aldie for being so awesome. Mike, my hero brother. And glad I could help Tom 😁

Great to see Concordia that high on the list. One of my all-time favorites. In particular with the Salsa expansions added.

I had to go back to figure out who was singing "As Cold As Ice". I'm impressed, I didn't know Mike could sing that high. 😄

The Dice Tower puts out a ton of content, which makes up for it, but this is criminally slept on Top 100. How are more people not into this?

"You're a bigger fan of this than Martin Wallace!" Well played Zee

Always pleased to see those people’s choices who go against the Dice Tower views - shows a truly great game that is appreciated despite the hosts views (Spirit Island is a true treasure).

Super top X ! You really all think it through.

So Tom mentioned only 1 more new game on his list (and we didn't see it later this same episode). I'm going to put it right out there that I'm guessing it will be Ark Nova and will probably be pretty close to the top based on other videos I've seen.

❤️ that Wildlands got some attention, personally in my top ten. It is so clean system and plays so good with just a cardplay as a mechanic.

Dune: Imperium is such a fantastic game! It has quickly rose to the top of my list. It's definitely in the top 3 right now...

I enjoyed the review of 10 games more than any so far. Great picks and reviews and had me LOL.

Loved this episode, thanks dudes!

Loved seeing the three way Dune Imperium crossover on #11, although it is my personal #2 these days! Great game.

An Idea for a Top 10. Most played games of 2021 While it's nice to see Top 100 games and all, I would like to see what people played the most in a given year. My top 10 games certainly don't hit the table as much as some others.

Catching up now cause I like watching the top 100 in reverse. I'm a madlad :)

I love how most of Zee's games are ones that no one has ever even heard of.

Ooooohhhhh ddaaaannngggg…. Tom called me out🤣🤣🤣 Hey, I was in the middle of a VERY good conversation.

Adventure Tactics has become a huge sleeper hit for me. I never heard of it until recently. Once I played it, I can’t stop thinking about it. So good! I’m looking forward to Vagrantsong, as well.

I love the way Mike looks into the camera with that wisenheimer look on his face after a good quip haha

Mike, I’ve seen someone scribble “Wingspan 4 Life!” in a stall at the club, and that’s when I knew it transcended the table into modern dank culture.

I finally got Spirit Island recently after wondering about it for ages and so glad I did. Such a great game... however, I haven't tried it multiplayer yet and a bit scared to... I can see the spirits comboing being awesome but worry there'll be a lot of analysis paralysis esp with new people...

I do love Dune Imperium. Great game. Gonna keep an eye out for those upgrade minis.

In this episode: The council has decided, we have approved Zee's appointment to remain at the seat of the council, however we do not grant him the rank of Voice of the People.

Wow, Tom actually said “6 of one and half a dozen of another.” I never would have imagined he’d move on from the “6 dozen and 1” classic!

I'm with Mike, all three of the West Kingdom games belong in the Top 100.

Great Show! I have to agree with Tom about Chronicles of Crime, such an enjoyable game and playable in Spanish for my wife which I love!

Big ups to Mike, -1st heard of Wildlands today, just ordered!

Moments: 3:20 Alliances are fickle during a list-off. 10:40 Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle Note: This is a running gag from an earlier part of this list when Tom was fishing a reaction from... 11:45 Roy recovers from Tom's lesson. 12:22 Zee can only take so much. 41:59 Mike made things awkward; Specially to Ian O'Toole. 1:14:12 Two types of board game comparison.

My local game shop just got a set of the Dune Imperium official upgraded components!

20.Kingsburg 19.Alhambra 18.Blood Bowl- only if playing in a League or Tournament 3rd edition 17.Teotiuacan "city of Gods" 16.Machi koro 15.The Crew 14.Lords of Waterdeep 13.RA the Dice game 12.Railroad Tycoon 11.Carpe Diem Playing games with good friends/ family is a real treat for me..😊💯👍❤

So excited by Tom’s ranking of Vagrantsong!!! Great game and thrilled by how high it is!!! Next year it will be on the people’s list also.

20. Cash n Guns (2nd Edition) 19. Marco Polo II 18. LOTR LCG 17. Time's Up 16. Android: Netrunner 15. Naga Raja 14. X-Wing (1st Edition) 13. Kitchen Rush 12. Imperial Assault 11. Stuffed Fables

My 20-11 just because I feel like posting it. 11 Chaos in the Old World 12 Reef Encounter 13 Twilight Struggle 14 Age of Steam 15 In the Shadow of the Emperor 16 Terra Mystica 17 Great Western Trail 18 Dominion 19 Cuba 20 Pax Porfiriana

Tom and team, I am reading a very dull novel by Zadie Smith for university and you are great for recharge breaks!

Adventure Tactics is high on my Wishlist!

So much better without the microphone noise nonsense :) Love watching these!

Dune imperium looks like such a fantastic game. Even got the As d'or here in France which kinda means so much for a game.

Caper Europe is a great game. I backed it according to Zee's recommendation and I am so pleased- although my wife has beaten me every time until now...

I tried looking for adventure tactics but couldn't find it anywhere. Only thing is some expansion on Amazon

My top 20-11: 20: The Downfall of Pompeii 19: Tokaido 18: Betrayal at House on the Hill 17: 7 Wonders Duel 16: Small World 15: Charterstone 14: Ladies & Gentlemen 13: Exit: The Game - The Pharaoh's Tomb 12: Carcassonne 11: Ca$h 'n Gun$

we had a guy at a game cafe teach us quacks with some of his cards still in german and we were immediately hooked. and we did buy the upgraded tokens immediately. it's absolutely necessary.

Zee is right. Blue Moon is an undersung gem of a game. Dr. Knizia makes some great games but this one might be my personal favorite of his many, many, MANY designs.

Weird I'm hitting with Tom's list the most in this vid :3

What an ending!

What are those minis on the Dune Imperium board?

Next year Tom and Mike should take the same 100-91. I would love to see the expression on Zees face.

Number 11 was craaaaazy, duuude!!!!

Spyrium is a game where you budget your workers between the bidding and activation phases.

I need to find a way to try Deus and Blue Moon. If Zee likes it, then I am intrigued 😅

I can’t wait to see the Pax Pamir catchapalooza!

SUSD loves Concordia, maybe that´s a reason?

On Tom #15, Tom mentioning he's the boss, made me see Tom as Tony Soprano. Now I can not not imagine all of you as characters from the Sopranos. Tom=Tony, Zee=Sil, Mike=Paulie, Roy=Chris.

20) Bang the dice game 19) Dice Hospital 18) mechs Vs Minions 17) Dice Masters 16) LOTR : journeys in middle earth 15 ) Elysium 14) Worlds Fair 1893 13) spectre ops 12) bunny kingdom. 11) Eldritch Horror

Id be curious to see if there is a huge spike in certain game sales after these top 100 series videos

What's with Spirit Island? I tried the app, it was ok at best, honestly kinda forgettable. There are many area control games that are more fun and better looking. Anyone please tell me what the allure is? What makes it so much better than others? Thanks.

Love wildlands!

please do a top 100 analysis video with boardgame co again!

Ok, I guess I need Dune Imperium added to my collection.

One crossover with each Tom and Mike for me on this one: #20 - Project: ELITE #19 - Marvel United #18 - Welcome To... #17 - Zombicide: Invader #16 - Star Wars: Outer Rim #15 - Viticulture Essential Edition #14 - Wingspan #13 - Ankh: Gods of Egypt #12 - Rising Sun #11 - The Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-Earth

The Ilse of Cats likes to me the same as Patchwork, is this true?

I love the theme of Wingspan but the solo mode must not be the best indeed for this sort of games. I'm lacking the Oceania expansion for it.

I'm surprised no one mentioned one of my favorite aspects of Dune Imperium - worker placement you want to go first and get the spot you want before it could get taken, the combat you want to go last after everybody else has committed so you have as much information as possible. It's a wonderful tension to the game.

I do like Deus more then Wingspan. For me it uses the cascade mechanism in a more satisfying way.

Mike: I will tell Martin Wallace what you said about "Wildlands" at our next game meet-up. :-)

Im not native english speaker, could someone write for me the lyrics for "Mike Dilisio Theme" in the intro ?

I agree 7 Wonders is not a GATEWAY. I tried to teach it to my inlaws. It did not go well. Too complex.

Wow the 3 on the same spot :O

What is zee humming at 1:05:45?

Unfortunately missed the livestream today, but posting this segment of my list here anyway. 20 - Rex: Final Days of an Empire 19 - Terra Mystica 18 - Spirit Island 17 - Dune: Imperium 16 - Zombicide: Black Plague 15 - Beyond the Sun 14 - Everdell 13 - Viscounts of the West Kingdom 12 - Blood Rage 11 - Paladins of the West Kingdom

Same game at the same position for 3? WOW!!!

Waiting for that sweet-spot moment when I can get Dune Imperium for a good price, before the license expires and it goes OOP and shoots up to $100.

Is lost ruins of arnak going to make an appearance on any list? Only one series of 10 to go!

31:41 Is it just me or does that guy on the left on the box of res arcana look like a Mike twin?

Time stamps are messed up for peoples choice 15 and Tom’s 12.

I love when they say "Funkenschlag" 😀

How about a list of games that WERE Number one at some stage and how they dropped and why?

Feast for Oden is less complex than it looks. My wife figured this out quickly and enjoys it and she's a light/medium player. It can get heavier but I'd say it's a heavier medium. The massive number of options actually make this lighter for me than some of his other games. it's easier to do what you want as long as it's not what everyone else wants.

yessssssss

I'm with Mike on Rez Arcana. I found it to be OK.

Solo Wingspan is a lesson in masochism. Oh, you want a bird card that just got placed in the bird tray at the end of your turn? The Automa's going to take it or get rid of it. It's uncanny.

adventure tactics above vagrant song? wow

🎶Zee Garcia voice of Pub Meeple🎶

Coin holders are much less and work perfectly for Quacks!

Tom says Viticulture like he says Architects. 🤣 Love ya, Tom!

1:00:00 sounds like Brass 🙂

Good lists guys, though a few games are for me mediocre at best. Brass Lancashire/Birmingham is such a great game. Shame it's only on the People's Top 100.

Number of choices does not make Feast for Odin a heavy game. And that is all there is to this game, a large number of similar choices.

I couldn't come up with 100 games to save my life,maybe a top 25,but I've been playing board games since the late 79's. I don't like Euro games and have never played big ones like Catan ECT. My number one game is still Star Trek Frontiers. I just can't get enough of the game. Return To Dark Tower is in my top 10 as well. Interesting that Tom and the others haven't talked about it yet. Maybe it's too new even for them. Lol.

Pitchcar is great but it pains me seeing tracks with all the barriers on, cowards! It's so fun removing some of them and making a bit of challenge where you aren't just flicking as hard as you can ;D

Mike, you're not alone on Res Arcana. I don't get it. I've played it 3 times and that initial deal is so beyond frustrating. Every time one person gets an undeniably awesome deal and one person gets garbage and there's no way to fix it! Res Arcana gets no love from me. I'm going to play the draft variant before I sell, but I'm annoyed I'm playing rules that weren't presented in the rulebook to fix how terrible the original is.
