I'm just gonna say it: I LOVE those 1 hour top 10s. Honnestly, I don't really watch the shorter ones. Please don't let some people discourage you. Thank you for the great content.
I am another who LOVES the one hour format. It's all about the extended conversations, the jabbing, the nit picking, the fun. If people want top 10 lists to be 5 minutes... to quote the sage Tony Topper, "They don't know how to act right.".
I'm sad that there hasn't been any of these big Top 10 videos in SIX weeks (as of this comment). I've been here since those lists were combined into one list, and these group discussions with the friendship and humor are my favorite content, and really what has kept me subscribed for so long. Hoping it's not gone for good.
Your sinlge-person videos are often a worthwhile view, but the top 10's and other videos where you collaborate in your discussion are by far the best. More videos featuring 2 or 3 of you folks at a time, please! :)
OMG. Someone NEEDS to set up a giant sized game of Coconuts where people are the monkeys at a convention! Put the 'monkeys' in rolling office chairs...
Please keep these at an hour. There's a reason they're your bread and butter videos.....cause people like you guys! If you guys had the top ten ways to watch paint dry video, I'd watch it!
Erik Braun completely agreed. These guys talking together is one of my favorite things to watch on RUclips honestly. Comedy gold and just downright interesting. I really hope they keep the format, yeah sometimes our attention spans rival goldfish but I personally enjoy a great and interesting conversation.
Hey guys! Thanks for another great video and I always love your long top tens for their enjoyability and detail. That being said I would love it if you all included lists in the description with time tables, as a lot of times I get rushed and can’t watch the whole video in one sitting. It would also help me pinpoint both games I am interested in, and games I have never heard of, so I can listen to your group’s opinions on them specifically when I am short on time. Of course I understand that this would be a lot of work, and you would also be worried about people not watching the whole video, so I would completely understand if you all wouldn’t be able to do it. This isn’t a problem with the video’s length and I would hate it if you all shortened them for no reason, so just keep doing what you are doing and continue to make great videos.
My own top 5... 1. Carreau (little known but much loved in my house!) 2. Klask 3. Rhino Hero Super Battle 4. Ice Cool 5. Pitch Car (I have the Mini version) One day... i will own a proper Crokinole board and maybe that will make my list too!
Flickem dead of winter is living the walking dead show no matter what scenario you play or even tweak to your own scenarios. I request all three of you move it to your number 1's and have another 30 minute video talking about why you love it so much. Thank you
I love dexterity games! I could do a top 50 I think. Favorite you left off: A la Carte Bling Bling Gemstone (Toc Toc Woodman) Blocky Mountain Castle Crush Lift it
I am not a dexterity game fan. That being said, there are a couple of games I play and reasonably like: 1. Tumblin-Dice: This is my 51st favorite game of all time. I have to admit this one had intrigued me as soon as I had seen videos of it, but knew it was out of my price range. Then I realized I had a brother-in-law who could build me one. I collect dice, so that made it easy, especially if you own the game Las Vegas, it comes with sets of different colors of dice. And when I played it, I liked it. And like Tom, I also add other bigger sided dice, I also have the Double D6's which work well also! And to make it really interesting try glow in the dark dice with the lights off! I put small flash lights face down at the ends of teh board for targeting. 2. Pony Express: Currently my 93rd favorite game. I found this game because it was on Tom's older top 10 western games with Eric. And I found that list looking for more Old West games because I love the theme. Pony express is an Old West racing game, with a small amount of dexterity where you have to throw your dice at each other's pieces when you have a duel. The game also has a strong Liar's Dice mechanic. This game is badly out of print and couldn't even find a copy for sale anywhere for any price. I have since found copies at various times, but not many and at high prices. I traded for my nearly new copy. I have to ask myself, if I like the Old West theme so much, would I like Flickem 'Up? I think there is too much flicking in the game for my taste, so its a game I will have to try before I even consider buying it. 3. Star Wars Loopin' Chewie/Loopin Louie: I own both and its a decent game, party style game that grabs attention. It is not on my top 100 but enjoy it at times for kicks.
Two of my favourite dexterity games not mentioned. Click, Clack Lumberjack and the very new Kung Fu Zoo. Great games for all ages. Easy to get to the table with gamers and non gamers too.
I bought Arch Rival after watching this and played it tonight. With three players, we were able to fill and empty the arch twice. I only knocked it down on the third go-around because we were getting more aggressive and intentionally compromising the integrity of the arch by bumping the containers. Cute game, but might be one that I'd want to play with kids or certain libations.
I second the comments on keeping it an hour. I see it in my subscriptions, and save it for a quiet Saturday morning and devote an hour to it. Don't make it shorter!
Yay, Zee saves the day with #1. To Sam: Most of the pieces in Junk Art are "symmetrical', but there are some weirder shapes as well, and the pieces don't always fit together perfectly. Overall I'd say the game still has that "not quite right" feel you're mentioning.
After seeing Fireball Island reprinted, I want/hope that my childhood dexterity games get reprinted they are: Wacky Blasters & Torpedo Run Torpedo Run is essentially Battleship (but with bigger ship models) and Crokinole(?) Combined where you shoot discs into slots in the ships and pieces shoot off until you sink all your opponent's ships.
I agree with Tom that there are A LOT of these games I really like. Many of them were not mentioned by any of them... Taktika Ascending Empires (which is getting a reprint) Kung Fu Zoo Jam Sumo Meeple Circus Riff Raff Animal Upon Animal Carreau Klask Rollet Disc Duelera Looping Louie/Chewie and lots more. I love this genre!
Having played many games of meeple circus, I can confirm...that it just isn't that good. The last round is pretty fun, but in general it is way too shallow to really get much enjoyment out of. The core mechanic of stacking the pieces just doesn't offer enough variety across the game. That said I'm sure it still shits all over fireball island, but what can you do.
I remember a huge and long Coconut contest with a couple of friends and we had a blast of shooting coconuts left and right.... maybe some alcoholic refreshments were involved...
I thought A la Carte would have made Tom's list. I remember him talking fondly about the game at several points. Naturally Tom should do a top 100 dexterity game and have Zee and Sam there to give him garbage for his picks. Just like his regular top 100, this year we got a special top 100 so with there needs to be somebody be flaming for his top 100 games.
This is off topic but I have to disagree with Sam on his comment regarding alpha gaming. Cooperative games is a genre where a lot of current game design allows players at a table to have their turns dictated to each other since there is too much open information. I hope to see future designs combat this as smartly as games like Space Alert or Hanabi do.
I'm just gonna say it: I LOVE those 1 hour top 10s. Honnestly, I don't really watch the shorter ones. Please don't let some people discourage you. Thank you for the great content.
Never listen to the *one guy*. Just keep making long video's and show how much fun you have doing these...
I listen to this top 10's while painting minis so I'm ok with them beign 1 hour long
Yeah, the banter and engagement is what make this hour long list great, I feel like I'm at the table with you guys
I like that this is an hour its like hanging out talking about games
I am another who LOVES the one hour format. It's all about the extended conversations, the jabbing, the nit picking, the fun. If people want top 10 lists to be 5 minutes... to quote the sage Tony Topper, "They don't know how to act right.".

"I'm Cuban, I grew up playing with dirt." Love it.
Dirt and Sticks is a great game, add in some marbles and you got a dexterity game!
I want to add my +1 tot he comments about enjoying the hour long top 10s - this is by far my favorite format.
I like this format for Top 10's if it takes over an hour it takes over an hour, it's worth the time for the entertainment.
OMG. Someone NEEDS to set up a giant sized game of Coconuts where people are the monkeys at a convention! Put the 'monkeys' in rolling office chairs...
Please keep these at an hour. There's a reason they're your bread and butter videos.....cause people like you guys! If you guys had the top ten ways to watch paint dry video, I'd watch it!
At LEAST an hour!!!! I like when they are longer
Erik Braun completely agreed. These guys talking together is one of my favorite things to watch on RUclips honestly. Comedy gold and just downright interesting.
I really hope they keep the format, yeah sometimes our attention spans rival goldfish but I personally enjoy a great and interesting conversation.
I like watching these shows as background music when I'm playing simple phone or Steam games, so I usually don't mind the hour-long format, either.
dreamshade I know, I have them playing in the background whenever I'm doing schoolwork or chores around the house or whatever...... just fun overall!
In my other job, I'm able to listen to podcasts or youtube a lot, so I prefer them the longer the better lol. Glad to see I'm not the only one.
I wouldn't listen to those that complain about the time/length of the videos. The longer the better I say.
Definitely missing in this lists is KLASK!
All fans of South Park had a really hard time listening to Tom say fish sticks repeatedly during Igloo Pop.
Settle down Kanye.
Not long enough! I demand three hour Top Tens! Make them Top 15's if you have to! :-p
Hey guys! Thanks for another great video and I always love your long top tens for their enjoyability and detail. That being said I would love it if you all included lists in the description with time tables, as a lot of times I get rushed and can’t watch the whole video in one sitting.

My own top 5...
1. Carreau (little known but much loved in my house!)
2. Klask
3. Rhino Hero Super Battle
4. Ice Cool
5. Pitch Car (I have the Mini version)
One day... i will own a proper Crokinole board and maybe that will make my list too!
Flickem dead of winter is living the walking dead show no matter what scenario you play or even tweak to your own scenarios. I request all three of you move it to your number 1's and have another 30 minute video talking about why you love it so much. Thank you
needs to be 2 hours
@Tom: "Cube Quest" was remastered as "Rumms, voll auf die Krone" by Komsos in Germany....
I can only think of 7 Dex games that I really like:
PitchCar
Junk Art
KLASK
Rhino Hero: Super Battle
Crokinole
Rhino Hero
Click Clack Lumberjack
Tom's excitement for Zee's # 7 was the best reaction I've ever seen in any Top 10
Am I the only who likes that these top 10 lists are an hour?
A few years ago I didn't care for dexterity games at all, but they have grown on me overtime with all the great ones that have come out
I love your Top 10 videos. Keep it up guys! Thank you for making this.
HAHAHAHA> Thank you guys. I sure needed that laugh. the banter around #7 was just hilarious.
I’m pretty sure if you breed a bear and an eagle you get a beagle
Joe Arnold but wouldn't it look more like an owlbear?
I'm pretty sure that you get Sam Healy
Yeah I subbed cause of these lists (but love all the content you bring out) and technically they're a top 30 ;)
You guys are awesome! What fun! Thanks!
Dungeon fighter, flick em up and qube quest are FANTASTIC games
Sorry Sliders, Catacombs, Pitch Car, Suspend, Ice Cool, Click Clack Lumberjack, Rhino Hero, Meeple Circus, Loopin' Chewie, & Splash/Stack Jack.
Catacombs has to be the best flicking game.
Definitely want to see Tom's Top 100 Dexterity games
I love dexterity games! I could do a top 50 I think.
Favorite you left off:
A la Carte
Bling Bling Gemstone (Toc Toc Woodman)
Blocky Mountain
Castle Crush
Lift it

so much fun to watch! thx guys
One of your best top 10s! Thanks guys
Junk Art is the best. Is there any expansion planned for this game ?
Bart Berowsky yes! We have a few in the works! Glad you like the game!
Jay Cormier Wow, great news!
Terror...in Meeple City!
Silver Fang man i loves this game so.much fun

Re: Zombie tower: Isn't that what you do now?
Upvote for everyone who was prepared to post this before they called us out for getting ready to do it.
Arch Rival: it’ll make a pastor curse, loudly!
Sam, you really Vaselled the words "sconce" and "dais".
What if you only added powder to specific Pitchcar boards? So the speed of your car will vary on the track.
After seeing Fireball Island reprinted, I want/hope that my childhood dexterity games get reprinted they are:
Wacky Blasters
&
Torpedo Run
Torpedo Run is essentially Battleship (but with bigger ship models) and Crokinole(?) Combined where you shoot discs into slots in the ships and pieces shoot off until you sink all your opponent's ships.
I loved torpedo run!
Very helpful list, I love Dexterity games, fun for everybody!

I agree with Tom that there are A LOT of these games I really like. Many of them were not mentioned by any of them...
Taktika
Ascending Empires (which is getting a reprint)
Kung Fu Zoo
Jam Sumo
Meeple Circus
Riff Raff
Animal Upon Animal
Carreau
Klask
Rollet
Disc Duelera
Looping Louie/Chewie
and lots more. I love this genre!
No meeple circus?
was looking for that, too!
Having played many games of meeple circus, I can confirm...that it just isn't that good. The last round is pretty fun, but in general it is way too shallow to really get much enjoyment out of. The core mechanic of stacking the pieces just doesn't offer enough variety across the game.
That said I'm sure it still shits all over fireball island, but what can you do.
i feel you bro
I've played Meeple Circus over 20 times now, and it's still top 15-20 material to me.
Meeple Circus is awesome!!
I did think of Lice Shower when you mentioned using other senses Zee xD
Crokinole has an air of majesty. That's the word you were looking for. Also, this is incredibly entertaining at 1.5 speed.
I remember a huge and long Coconut contest with a couple of friends and we had a blast of shooting coconuts left and right.... maybe some alcoholic refreshments were involved...
You guys look so happy today! :)
I was also surprised, KLASK didn't made anybody's list. I would also have included Loony Quest.
Our group has fun with Jungle Speed. I think Tom doesn't include speed games with the dexterity games, though.
tom: you just made igloo pop super dark.
me: let's be honest here, that theme is pretty dark already.
I thought A la Carte would have made Tom's list. I remember him talking fondly about the game at several points. Naturally Tom should do a top 100 dexterity game and have Zee and Sam there to give him garbage for his picks. Just like his regular top 100, this year we got a special top 100 so with there needs to be somebody be flaming for his top 100 games.
Zee you should combine Igloo Pop with the Polar Bear game for cute factor on the table.
Yup, as soon as I heard about a video of Sam breaking a board I tried to look for it. Couldn't find it, but back to the video. Lol
I hate Coconuts!
Dr. Eureka was a lot more fun than I expected it would be!
Tom, you are 100% wrong about Strike. It's a great game. Also, Die Hard 3 takes place during the summer.
I remember REBOUND as a fun little dexterity game
"HR!" LOL! You are funny, Sam!
Finally back up ☝
I get you had to take it down due to the titles of games being wrong. but having to wait sucked 😂😂
I liked Dinosaur Island being Tom's number 9
someone please link he video where sam breaks the board
Do a live session with arch rival and maybe another dexterity games, that would be super fun!!!!!
Thanks Sam! I´d never noticed the trick in Ice Cool´s name ;)
14:38 the crew hits those notes son!!!
Zee - Cuban playing in dirt. Was it Volcanic dirt???
You need to have arch rival as a live play! Sounds like a cool party game!
Oh Wow...I wrote this before the end where Tom said he wanted to do that anyway! :D
Toc Toc Woodman, Top This, In a Bind (aka Yogi), Dancing Eggs, Zoo Ball, Meeple Circus... those are the ones that are missing for me!
Sam -- my kids have asked me at least 10 times when Fireball Island is coming --- starting to regret telling them about it. It's going to be amazing
Is Loony Quest not a dexterity game? I love it!
no bg's in the bg?
That "Strike" look... Tom, you silly =)
Powder? You mean potato flour? That is what we use in all games where sliding is involved.
The only dexterity game I can think of which I actually like is *Bellz*. What a great little thing it is. :-)
This is off topic but I have to disagree with Sam on his comment regarding alpha gaming. Cooperative games is a genre where a lot of current game design allows players at a table to have their turns dictated to each other since there is too much open information. I hope to see future designs combat this as smartly as games like Space Alert or Hanabi do.
5:52 - Priceless !!!
die hard is a christmas movie
They were talking about part 3.
Zeus: I told you not to open it!
For the hearing game I really thought it was going to be Igloo Pop!!
Oh it did make it!!!! ❤️
Zee's performens was amazing)
Where is Meeple Circus? :(
I loved playing Clout Fantasy... collecting it was a different story...
Best is definitely Junk Art, i agree with Zee.
Then Flick 'em up... though i prefer the western theme over the zombies.
Would love to see Rhino Hero super battle on a live play.
Alluvian They have done this. I believe it was with Tom's daughters.
Rollet, Weykick and Flip Kick Deluxe 👌🏼
Number one is Crossbows & Catapults!
Surprised not to see Beasts of Balance on Tom’s list...
Huh? It was!
No Safranito or Push It? Travesty!
Also I agree with Zee on Fireball Island. It's...cute, but the hype is unfounded.
Meeple Circus?
But where's jungle speed?
Meeple Circus should've been mentioned! :-)
Been said but needs more Terror in Meeple City. An amazingly fun game.
You guys have no Klask. See what I did there. Seriously, Klask is an amazing game.
My kids LOVE Rhino Hero Super Battle
For any other curious out there: ruclips.net/video/YfumLZLmonI/видео.html Flaming Giant Jenga
Best dexterity game I've ever seen, by far, is Rollet. It's actually the most fun I've ever seen 4 people have around a game, dexterity or otherwise.
