yeah very very good game

Earth is the upgraded version... unless you like the game going way longer than it needs to

​@@thomgizziz I wholeheartedly disagree. Just because a game is shorter doesn't mean it's better. And there's a degree to which depth and complexity enhance a game and bring more enjoyment to certain players. It can be too much for some. I love both. And think there's enough difference to warrant keeping both. Outside of reducing them to action selection nature games (which is pretty broad categorization... Wingspan would also fall into that genre) they play and feel very differently.

​We actually have both and I don't feel the intensity or adrenaline rush, especially when it gets close to the end of game, as I do with Ark Nova. Earth is still a good game though, if I am in the mood for something more relaxing. Glad you are enjoying Earth!❤

​@@thomgizziz let people enjoy things

They have all 3 also been teachers by profession in the past, which supports your point. And another reason why I value the other hosts perspectives, I would love another A Team Top 100 or Top 10 of all time for that reason

I wouldn't say it's better than the BGG list, it's just different. BGG is weighted somewhat toward games that have been out long enough to get a lot of votes, but also have high average vote score. Whereas the peoples' choice here in Dice Tower are surely biased toward the views of the hosts.

@@libertyprime9307 well I would say it’s a better list for suggesting games to people than bgg. I would much rather start with DT #1 and work my way down than the bgg list. Not to mention the redundancy issues of bgg. Don’t get me wrong I understand how bgg list works and its purpose I just this list is more useful.

Great story! Sounds like a great time.

A few Yeats ago now, I played dead of winter with a couple of new people and was told they never played a game like that. They loved it. Modern board games are in the majority a delight ( subject to theme preference and what not)

Just ordered a used copy after watching this video. Sounds like I will scratch that starship troopers itch!

Glad you said that! I'm going to look into it...

Same here. After how much content I’ve played through so seamlessly and get a puzzle-like fun experience it’s become an easy choice

Pretty sure Planet Unknown was lower on his list... Possibly in the 60's or 70's

Yeah definitely in the bottom half

Yes, it sucks.

How is the progress? 99 games left on the list? :D Or were you more sucessfull then I was?

Woohoo! Great video to be called out on. I'm happy for you Evan!

Ha ha I noticed that too. To be fair, I think that review was of ONLY the base game, which does leave an impression of “…is that it?” a little bit. Once you start plugging and playing and seeing the depth of the system does it really open up.

No it wasn't

How frequently does Matt release new comics. And is he just the artist or writer too?

"I'm like a junkyard dog in heat" What is wrong with you? That was totally unrelated and you aren't just around your friends. Get a grip.

@@JonReid01 Since his Dark Horse Imprint, Flux House, was started, he's releasing at least one issue of a project per month. But he's frequently got multiple projects going at once. Check him out

@@thomgizziz Dang thom! You mean 😁 I was under the impression everyone on KZfaq was my friend. So, from one friend to another: take a deep breath big boy. Sounds like you were having a bad night last night. Hope your having a better day today

i've Heard Brass Lancashire is better tho

They had a voting poll on their website in December which you could go to and vote for your top 25 or so favourite games.

The base Avengers game kinda sucked. Fortunately, since then there's been new "Base Boxes" (Or I guess you'd call them stand-alone expansions) that have drastically improved the game. The one even shown on the clip is ACTUALLY X-Men base game. There's also a new Spidergeddon "Base Box" which is probably only recommended if you're a heavier gamer. It's still light on rules, but the characters have a bit too much meat on them for a casual audience. Whereas X-Men base box has a good mix of light and heavy-ish characters.

And you can buy both base boxes too if you like the heroes of the first box, you can mix and match whatever you want

For some reason dice tower fans are mostly eurogamers

I like your list a lot!

Its crazy how many games I've played yet havnt played a single one of your top 10. What a great time to be in the hobby! Thanks for sharing

@@TylerAndToast I mean I’d definitely recommend all of them 😂😂😂

@@funnymanfish haha 😄 My top 10. 1. Point salad 2. Architects of the west 3. Clank! 4. Santorini 5. Earth 6. Ticket to ride (Nordic countries>base>Europe) 7. Wingspan 8. Marvel united 9. King of Tokyo 10. Bonsai What would you recommend out of yours for me based off my games?

@@TylerAndToast I’ve played most of those but only ones I feel I’ve played enough to have a real opinion on is TtR, King of Tokyo and Santorini. All of which I enjoy but fall short of greatness for me. Santorini is too deterministic, I’m not a chess fan because rather than interesting trade offs there is always an objectively best move and Santorini, while demonstrably more enjoyable than chess, just falls a bit short of great for that reason. I have it as a 7.5 out of 10. TtR is a bit too straightforward to me, definitely super fun and satisfying but lacking in some interest. I do think it’s interesting that you find the tightest maps more interesting as my favorite is Europe, which I also give a 7.5. King of Tokyo is also good, although I prefer the other two, as KoT has the same issue as TtR with it lacking some interest in my view but also does prioritize fun with the crazy abilities. The wide range in abilities and the randomization of them does make it a bit inconsistent, with some sessions being ridiculously fun and some being a bit of a drag. I give it a 7. I think all are really good and I’m almost always down to play any of them and regularly recommend and request them, just don’t love them. As far as recommendations go, if you’re interested in tighter resource management (like the TtR games you like) Freedom takes that to a cooperative game, with a tastefully done and compelling inspected historical theme. As far as co-ops go, Mansions of Madness is super fun. A game that has simplicity like Marvel United with a lot of flavor would be Destinies. Both Mansions and Destinies require app integration so that may be a turn off. While it has nothing to do with any of your top 10, I think Twilight Struggle is something everyone should try once as it really could expand your taste into different parts of the hobby (war games) that many people don’t realize may hold interest to them.
